Characters have been removed from play. And if Griff is \"sane\", I\'d hate to see crazy. Also, some clarification on the \"you do not want to know\" trope would be nice. It\'s a borderline ZCE.


* ComicTrio: In what is possibly the ''strangest'' example of this trope...
** TheLeader: Majora, usually with some prank, trick or other malevolent act.
** TheFool: Sub-Niggurath ("Shubby"), who sees nothing wrong in messing with "the silly mortalses."
** OnlySaneMan: Griff, who is unfortunately dragged along for the ride by his two godly "friends."

The Traveller has been defeated, Joshua O'Brien has been saved, and everyone enjoys a brief period of respite. But their troubles are far from over...

On the 12[[superscript:th]] of October, 2011, a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13236601070A71890800&page=1 sequel]] of sorts to [[Roleplay/OurAvatarsAreInARoomTogetherTheForumGame Our Avatars Are In A Room Together]] was made, due to a mutual agreement of the players. The game had been getting too plot-heavy, so it was decided that the plot part of the game was made into a Roleplaying game, leaving the original game with less plot.

Arguably, it is like all other avatar-based RP in the TVTropes forums, but has its own storyline and rules. The characters are also restricted to a room which is a gateway to and from other dimensions... sort of.

The thread used to be comprised of many players [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12983510570A63380100&page=709 at the time of the split]], but as time marched on many have left with newer players joining the ranks. New players are currently not being accepted at this time due to an overabundance of players.

The game is much like the We Are Our Avatars Are In A Room Together]] was made, due to a mutual agreement of RP, but takes place in the players. The game had been getting too plot-heavy, so it was decided that same room where all the plot part of avatars are in, and is under the Forum Game section.

In the game, all avatars are together in a room where they interact together. It originally started out a fun, lighthearted thread, but got darker and more like a Forum RP. As a result,
the game was made split into a Roleplaying game, leaving two different threads, the original game with less plot.

Arguably, it is like all other avatar-based RP
structured version in the TVTropes forums, but has its own storyline Forum Games section, and rules. [[Roleplay/OurAvatarsWereInARoomTogetherTheContinuation the plot-y version]] in the Forum RP section.

looser than in the Forum RP.

!Other Rules, because The rules are as of late, you can't be too careful
follows:

!Rules



* NO PLOT. If any plot bunnies should spawn, make sure they stay bunnies -- i.e.: ''small.''



!Additional tips to make the roleplaying experience fun for all can be found [[RoleplayingTips/OurAvatarsAreInARoomTogether here.]]

!!'''Due to how large the thread is, and how many plot cycles we have gone through (and because we are probably not important enough to get episode recap pages), tropes are sorted by story arc.'''

!Tropes that apply across the board, or nowhere in particular, go here:

* AbortedArc: The one with evil!Zack, due to confusion, plotholes, and retcons, and the one with Kamen Riders, due to Strig leaving and player exclusion.
** The Santiago Claus one, due to Duffy's lack of wifi.
* AfterTheEnd: The SC arc.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Due to [[ScheduleSlip some difficulties with the plot itself]], everyone decided to form an Away Team to pass the time, the team consists of: Sir Clarence, Legion, a couple .hack// characters, Alpha's/Mike's clone, Gamzee Makara, Holly Short, Harry Dresden, a quiet robot, Savyna, and Rock.
* {{Badass}}: Just about everyone.
* BigBad: Several.
* ButThouMust
* CameBackWrong: [[DamagedSoul Zack.]] So very, very much.
* CurbStompBattle: SlenderMan versus Chewbacca. Chewbacca won.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the Forum Game.
* DiabolusExMachina: Cloud.
* FromBadToWorse: After the Traveller arc.
* GroinAttack: to Shirou from Lancelot. Paraphrased:
--> Shirou: I need those!
--> Lancelot: For what, defiling my King?
--> Shirou: ...Yes?
--> Lancelot: -stomp-
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Gordon, Mordin, and Shepard showed up towards the last leg of the Vesperia arc, Yu was worse in that he showed up during the ''final battle'' of the Persona arc.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Aven functions as this to Cloud. When he leaves, things go downhill for the latter very quickly. [[spoiler: Ironically, it is also likely Aven's presence that is further dragging Cloud into his downward spiral, since, due to Aven's encouragement and support, Cloud feels twice as bad for not recovering and deems this to be his own fault, leading into deeper depression, which Aven then tries to correct, thus perpetuating the cycle.]]
* MindRape: Done several times to several people.
* PinocchioSyndrome: Cloud, after getting Jenova'd.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Cloud delivers two of these; one to Not!Zack, and another to Zelretch.
* RuleOfCool: It runs on this.
** [[spoiler: The Eighth Arcana of the final battle has a midair dogfight with the Millennium Falcon with Nyx wielding and energy sword whilst Han pilots and a guy with a BF BifurcatedWeapon, a potion maker with an eyepatch and a potion gun that shoots lasers (sort of), a walking carpet that can rip a man's arms from their sockets, a guy with a chainsaw sword, and Bahamut all do battle with the anthropomorphic personification of Death. ]]
** [[spoiler:The final battle of the Vesperia arc was a group of Crystal Giants against an EldritchAbomination in orbit around Terca Lumeries]]
** [[spoiler:The whole theme park in the Castle of Dreams arc, especially the [[TheWonka eccentrically brilliant]] Barry Acres, the Six Flags Guy {{Expy}} and the water show at the very end.]]
** [[spoiler:The ''entire moon'' is converted into a badass spaceship in the Spaceship arc, as is the room itself.]]
* TheVirus: Jenova. Also, the vampire blood.
* TraumaCongaLine: Cloud is slowly driven insane from the buildup of stressful events preceeding the Traveller arc in the forum game, then is openly despised by Zack (as neither of them know they are from alternate timelines). Zack then tries to kill him, and is killed (again), then is brought back as a sadistic monster, who hates Cloud just as much. He is then [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by Nagato, his hallucinations taunting him all the while. [[spoiler: This, however, culminates in a CMOA for him, where he [[ShutUpHannibal tells Zack in so many words to stuff it.]] ]]
* [[spoiler:TrueFinalBoss: Nyarlathotep, for the Persona arc.]]
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: [[spoiler: Cloud's response to Not!Zack. [[MindRape Shame it doesn't last for later on....]] ]]
* YankTheDogsChain: Cloud. So very, very often.
* YourSoulIsMine: Cloud can do this.

!The Nasuverse arc contains examples of:

* BigBad: Crimson Moon
* BodyHorror: Cloud. He simply has no luck at all...
* DemonicPossession: Of a sort. Done by SlenderMan, [[{{Nasuverse}} Crimson Moon]], and attempted by Jenova. Done to Cloud.
* CooldownHug: More of a cooldown tackle/MindHug from Lancelot, but it still applies.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: True Ancestors.
* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: When Cloud first obtains the marks across his face stemming from his fight with Vlad, which marked the beginning of the loss of his humanity and sanity.

!The Persona arc contains examples of:

* AbstractApotheosis: Erebus and Nyx. [[spoiler: And L, after his death.]]
* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Erebus is the embodiment of the despair and hatred in the collective unconscious of humanity, meaning it can never be truly killed until humanity itself is enlightened (something one of the heroes eventually sets out to accomplish). [[spoiler: However, on the flipside of this, we have L, who becomes the embodiment of hope and humanity's desire for justice.]]
* BigBad: Erebus
* BiggerBad: Nyx. [[spoiler:Nyarlathotep.]]
* BittersweetEnding: And how! On the one hand, [[spoiler: Nyx has been defeated, Minato actually ''survived,'' Aven finally got his milkshake, and the cultists are dead. On the other hand, L is dead, both he and Light suffered a FateWorseThanDeath (not that Light didn't have it coming, but ''ouch''), Nyx is still around somewhere, and Cloud may or may not be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Chaos and might never see his family again, and continues to slowly go mad.]]
* BrickJoke: [[spoiler: Aven goes into town and buys a milkshake.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Erebus.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Light. Why is this in spoilers? Was anyone really surprised? It's what he does.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: Becoming the Great Seal. [[spoiler: Also, how Light met his end.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: Nyx.]]
* FrickinLaserBeams: Aven's incendiary rounds.
* MemoryGambit: [[spoiler:Pulled by Light in order to gain the group's trust.]]
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The Great Seal, making the party a tad reluctant to allow Minato to become part of it.
* ScrewDestiny: One of the central themes. A discussion frequently had by the main charaters was whether Minato truly had to die to become the Great Seal and preven The Fall. [[spoiler: Minato overcomes his own death written in the notebook through sheer force of will and the Universe Arcana, and eventually survives Nyx as well.]]
* WildCard: HK-47, who only assisted the party to destroy the "inferior" HK-50 units.

!The Vesperia arc contains examples of:

* AppliedPhlebotinum: Aer
* BigBad: Alexei
* BittersweetEnding: Congrats! Terca Lumeries is saved! [[spoiler:Except Cloud kills himself. (Technically twice since he sacrificed his Crystal body to destroy the Adephagos.)]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Estelle after being kidnapped by Alexei.
* CantSpitItOut: Cloud to Estelle.
* CooldownHug: Estelle gets one.
* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Cloud. Whether it sticks or not has yet to be seen.]]
* EldritchAbomination: The Adephagos
* GrayAndGreyMorality: Alexei wants to prevent the Adephagos from killing everything, and Estelle genuinely wants to help everyone and makes every effort to.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Raven. [[spoiler: And Cloud, eventually.]]
* HopeSpot: Cloud gets one briefly when having a nice conversation for once with an innkeeper. [[spoiler: A few pages later, Estelle gets kidnapped by assassins due to his negligence.]]
* SamusIsAGirl:[[spoiler:Judith]]
* WelcomeBackTraitor: Raven.

!The Castle Of Dreams arc contains examples of:

* AWizardDidIt: Barry handwaves some of the more extraordinary happenings in the park by chalking it up to magic he got from his grandfather.
* BookEnds: The Castle of Dreams arc starts with Barry Acres inviting them to the theme park and bringing them in on a bus, it ends with Barry Acres inviting them to come back one day and bringing them back to the room on the same bus.
* BreatherEpisode: A trip to an Amusement Park would do everyone good.
* {{Expy}}: The elderly, yet spry dancing bus driver is one of the Six Flags Guy.

!The Castlevania arc contains examples of:

* {{Checkpoint}}: The havens between each major boss fight.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The players kind of collectively [[spoiler:BEAT UP DEATH.]]
* HeroesOfAnotherStory: Harvey, Phoenix, and Maya go missing shortly after the beginning to engage in a sub-plot. Nobody really notes on the three missing except Yu, but nobody has the time to go look for them anyway since Dracula Reviving is a much more pressing issue.
* IncendiaryExponent: Aven learns of the power of setting himself on fire and getting thrown at enemies during his time here.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mutsuki oh so (in)conveniently charging into Soma right when he was recovering from [[spoiler:Dracula breaking free.]] It undid basically everything everyone was trying with him.
* RewardingVandalism: The party discovered certain objects in Castlevania can be broken for weapons and that bricks can be broken for food, this naturally didn't avoid some questioning.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: So much. The leader being an impulsive teenager that just found out [[spoiler: he's Dracula reincarnated]] doesn't help things in the slightest, either.
-->Aven: (whispering) I don't like you.
-->Alpha: (whispering) I don't like you either.
* WebcomicTime: Subverted as Aven mentions that the days spent in Castlevania seem to be the same as the days spent real time in the arc.
* WhatTheHellHero: Mina outright refusing to get close to [[spoiler:Somacula]] on the grounds that she's too terrified. And she's supposed to be the LoveInterest...

!The Spaceship arc contains examples of:

* AFateWorseThanDeath / AndIMustScream: Sagi threatens to do this to the Maliwan CEO by [[spoiler:capturing her in a magnus,]] but ultimately does not go through with it. Alpha opts for MindRape instead.
* BadassCrew: When your ship is a room capable of breaking through dimensional walls and your crew consists of members such as The Doctor, Gordon Freeman and Riza Hawkeye, you're definitely this.
* CombatPragmatist: Rock isn't afraid of taking a direct approach in difficult situations, [[spoiler: [[IDidWhatIHadToDo especially when]] [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim negotiations with Maliwan are going nowhere]].]]
** Similarly, Ace often opts for violent means of sorting things out.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Daisy interrogates an enemy Komerade by [[TastesLikeDiabetes hugging him]].
* CoolShip: Both the gigantic Moonship and the retrofitted Roomship count.
* CutTheSafetyRope: [[spoiler: Aven, who was being dragged off a cliff, started dragging Alpha with him during the attempted rescue. So the latter was told to let go.]]
* DrillSergeantNasty: One crops up while part of the group trains for Jakobs' militia, and reappears later with [[TrainingFromHell a painful gauntlet that the crew must run to prove themselves worthy]] so they can meet with Dahl. [[spoiler:It turns out he was actually Torgue in disguise and was messing with everyone.]]
* EldritchAbomination: A universe devouting entity called The Thousand Maws. Interesting in that it is a universe itself, making it an EldritchLocation as well.
* EscalatingWar: The (rather short-lived) prank war between Kirb, Daisy, Sagi and Marno. It began with a snow prank to wake up Sagi and ended with the Doctor threatening to ''bleach Sagi's hair with hydrogen peroxide in his sleep.''
* FluffyTheTerrible: Helen and Marno collectively come up with their own nickname for The Thousand Maws: "Bob The Destroyer."
* HurricaneOfPuns: Marno inflicts one on the group after Lenell retrieves her axe. The others are not amused.
* [[spoiler: NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Aven's supposed death -- he was stabbed, lost an arm, dragged off a cliff, and barely escaped being blown up.]]
* PingPongNaivete: Daisy's ditzy moments are often tempered by [[WiseBeyondTheirYears surprisingly profound ones]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The Kirby-like Komerades on Vorgnock-5.
* RunningGag: Two - Marno's increasingly-humiliating demotions (though unless Mr. Torgue appears again, this is likely over) and the Jolly Green Giant appearing to fix impossibly confusing situations.
** Marno's demotions are once again referenced in the Deluge arc after he loses the "waiting game."
* SpannerInTheWorks: The Doctor's attempt to outgambit Miss Maliwan is foiled by Sagi's negligence with his lightning. Things go FromBadToWorse.
* TookALevelInBadass: Luigi takes one during his training with Zeff aboard the Baratie. By the end of it, the plumber is a formidable fighter far beyond his usual skills.
* WhatTheHellHero: The Doctor delivers one to Sagi, Alpha and Rock [[spoiler: after Miss Maliwan is threatened, tortured and killed by each respectively.]] He doesn't speak much to them, but still manages to cripple them with guilt.

!The Deluge arc contains examples of:

* AbortedArc: Many, due to there being too many players to do them all properly, leaving many plot threads hanging.
* AlienGeometries: The altered city.
* AllThereInTheManual: Due to time constraints, several arcs were cut, leaving many things that would have been given a definitive answer very vague.
** For starters, Dr. Stabler [[spoiler: was aware of the nature of the city. He was playing all the fields, and intentionally triggered the outbreak of Calamity virus to pressure his buyers, due to a mistake he made when he released a sample (that broken terrarium in his lab around Thanksgiving? He had some infected mice. They got out. He let the virus spread and propagated it in order to cover his ass and make the feds and the terrorist group (which, in case you didn't pick up, was headed by the Auditor) scramble to buy his silence. This matches up with the dates, including the odd happenstances three months ago and the discovery of the burial site). Most of his arc wound up cut, and the few bits that did make it in were too subtle unless you were Sherlock or something. ]]
*** In relation to this, [[spoiler: the government ''did'' want to produce a bioweapon out of this super totes cool alien the found, though ("That won't backfire at all!" [[hottip:*: Well, actually, it didn't. Not in the way these things usually go, anyway]]. That's what, as far was they knew, the project was about. The men in suits allowed it because it provided them with an excuse to have Cloud nearby and restrained so they could run experiments. The Auditor wanted to use him to take out "Colonel Sanders", but he was more of a side project than anything else, and not really relevant to his overall scheme (which still has not been revealed.). They were all working towards their own goals, but one group was being puppeteered by the other that was being puppeteered by the other from the get-go. And Stabler, naturally was fucking with them all. The Auditor did not appreciate this. [[BoomHeadshot Look where that got him.]] ]]
** Details on the "[[Film/DarkCity Suits]]" that some people found confusing: they were [[spoiler: an alien race that were nearly extinct. They were studying humans, who have individual identities, as opposed to their hivemind, figuring that this must be their secret to survival. In order to narrow down what made an individual an individual, they would change the city (a copy of Vegas, made by the Auditor) every night using their reality warping abilities, as well as a machine that amplified them, and implant different memories into the populace frequently, seeing what changed and what didn't with what were essentially different souls (brain patterns, but whatever). They had a special interest in Cloud, who had his own [[TheVirus hivemind]], and yet an identity separate from then, and the ability to intercept and interact with all those memories and maintain his sense of self, for the most part. Studying and experimenting on him was what helped them perfect the process, since their data is largely chemical, in contrast to our electronic machine-based tech, and on top of that, they needed a human-like mind that was still slimilar to their own, to learn how to bridge the gap. Cloud was perfect for this. Win-win. [-[[{{Dissimile}} Except for Cloud]], whose life is in a perpetual state of suck, but let's not split hairs here.-] ]]
*** [[spoiler: They stop time and shift all the clones in the city and themselves to another plane of existence to do their memory thing.]] These were the times when the city was "empty", yet moved occasionally, and could be changed. [[spoiler: Cloud himself was aware of this, but did not mention it for fear of the "don't think about pink elephants" effect. All it would take was one person panicking about their abilities to rip the whole place to bits by thinking about ripping the whole place to bits.]]
*** The un-timestopped phase was what the city was like normally, and what the party experienced until Cloud was awakened and unconsciously took them out of it.
*** The emergency phase was the third timeline, and the one [[spoiler:swarming with Suits. It's so they can fix things in case someone gets out, like the party did.]]
** Cloud was [[spoiler: made into "Dave" when he got caught and implanted with fake (and ironically, happier) memories, bombarding him with the same injection repeatedly until he was overwhelmed by the new information. They changed his eyes because that's all they could manage, and hid him in plain sight in the city.]]
** The Doctor and Cloud were cloned due to, again, their unique minds. Cloud, so they'd have a backup in case the original, er, "[[HeroicBSOD broke]]" during testing, and the Doctor because he's basically the smartest thing ever, and a Time Lord. Cloning something with genes as complex as Cloud and the Doctor didn't quite work, though, especially when everyone in the city wasn't meant to live long, anyway. The Doctors died (hence their regeneration into Ten, and he didn't last long, either), and the Cloud they made wound up blind, and emotionally closed off due to being messed up in the brain (even moreso than the real Cloud).
** The Auditor made them this city, and maintained all three timelines/planes in exchange for a few tests of his own.
* AnyoneCanDie: Should anyone go on to do something incredibly stupid or make a terribly wrong move, bodies can and have dropped.
** Presently dead are [[spoiler: Bang Shishigami, Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, and Deimos.]]
** Subverted when it got to the point where a TPK really should have occurred several times over, in which Spaz simply gave up.
* CallBack: Marno's demotions from the Spaceship arc are referenced when he loses the "waiting game."
* CuckooNest:It is still unknown whether or not the daytime city or the altered city is real or not, or if nothing is real to begin with, or even if the people they've met actually exist. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that all three timelines are very real, as well as the MindScrew earlier in.]]
* EldritchLocation: The other city, which is a openly hostile place that was built by the men in suits and shifts and bends at will to them.
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: Everyone in the city. Cloud has access to all of these, until they are ultimately used on him to hide him in plain sight as "David Mitinger".]]
* FissionMailed: At one point, a [[spoiler: clown with a jetpack appears and [[DiabolusExMachina suddenly kills everyone]] for no apparent reason.]] Then the group wakes up, completely unharmed.
* HumanoidAbomination: The sinister men in suits who built and patrol the other city.
* MonsterClown: A homicidal, seemingly immortal clown has become a threat to the group on several occasions, and in one case [[spoiler:killed them all.]]
* NotUsingTheZWord: None of the universe's natives have referred to the people suffering zombie-like symptoms as zombies, though the GenreSavvy members of the team show no hesitation in doing so.
** [[{{Jossed}} And then it turns out they weren't actually zombies.]]
* RealityEnsues: Breaking a door off in broad daylight and setting an alarm off? Police surrounded the group in an instant.
* RealityWarper: The Suits. [[spoiler: Later, the entire party.]]
* {{Room 101}}: What the half-stopped timestream is like,[[spoiler: due to the unstable nature of reality and the amplifier, allowing things like dreams and fears to manifest physically.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: More so than the previous arc. The group is often left without clear directions forward, and friction between Aven, the Doctor and the Major for leadership caused sparks to fly on more than one occasion.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The gang passed through Las Vegas with only a few glances and even fewer questions. Then again, with all the strange events going on, they are probably some of the less odd things around. This was mostly because the GM couldn't think of an excuse to not have them all incarcerated repeatedly.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: After the Area 51 group gets captured, some of guards mourns for their losses in the preceding shootout.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Some of the party begin to question whether or not Cloud is simply a tool a little while after he joins the party.

!The Fragments and Reflections arc contains examples of:

* AllMythsAreTrue: A standard staple of SMT.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Dio Brando ripped [[CuteWitch Elisa's]] lungs out, drained her blood, then froze her and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattered her body]]]].
* RealityEnsues: And the GM doesn't intend to give up halfway when the players keep doing things that would get them arrested this time... so far, anyway.

sometimes the one with Kamen Riders, due to Strig leaving and player exclusion.tropers themselves
* ActuallyADoombot: Mini-Majora
* AllTheMyriadWays: Sometimes, multiple instances of the same people from split timelines appear in the room.

** * AnotherDimension: The Santiago Claus one, due to Duffy's lack of wifi.
* AfterTheEnd: The SC arc.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Sheogorath,
of the Persona arc.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Aven functions as this to Cloud. When he leaves, things go downhill for the latter very quickly.
Chaos. Dialga, of Time. Angra Mainyu, of Evil. [[spoiler: Ironically, it is also likely Aven's presence that is further dragging Cloud into his downward spiral, since, due to Aven's encouragement and support, Cloud feels twice as bad for not recovering and deems this to be his own fault, leading into deeper depression, which Aven then tries to correct, thus perpetuating Cloud, of the cycle.Lifestream.]]
* MindRape: Done several times to several people.ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler: The fight between Azathoth and Cloud nearly triggers an omniversal Class 6.]]

* RuleOfCool: It runs on this.
**
BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Goku shows up with the Dragon Balls. RealityEnsues. [[spoiler: The Eighth Arcana of the final battle has a midair dogfight with the Millennium Falcon with Nyx wielding Specifically, Ujasiri is driven to grief by finding out something she didn't realise she wanted to know, and energy sword whilst Han pilots and a guy with a BF BifurcatedWeapon, a potion maker with an eyepatch and a potion gun that shoots lasers (sort of), a walking carpet that can rip a man's arms from their sockets, a guy with a chainsaw sword, and Bahamut all do battle with the anthropomorphic personification of Death.Hope [[ForWantOfANail dooms his timeline]]. ]]
** [[spoiler:The final battle * BeachEpisode: Galactus gives the Room a beach complete with a beach town, naturally it's entertained by everybody and is still acknowledged by some of the Vesperia arc was a group people in the Room.
* BerserkButton: Boris's designer clothes; don't mess with them.
** Cloud and doctors and/or scientists.
*** You really shouldn't interrupt Near and Rosarita's romantic moments if you don't want to get thrown across the room with half
of Crystal Giants against an EldritchAbomination your ribs broken.
*** Hurting anyone Majora considers a friend will result
in orbit you ''wishing'' she would kill you.
** Do not mention Ed's height
around Terca Lumeries]]
Ed.
*** Accordions.
** [[spoiler:The whole theme park Go ahead, try to hurt a woman when Zidane's around.
** You don't mess with Vi's friends ever lest you want your eyes punched out through the back of your skull.
** Nor do you insult Heidi's mech and get away with it without a fight.
* {{BFS}}: Zack with the Buster Sword, and Cloud with his Fusion Swords and this just the beginning of the list...
** All of Matt's swords, and FF!Gilgamesh collects these.
** [[AsurasWrath Augus]] takes this to an extent beyond all the others, at a maximum length of the distance from '''THE EARTH TO THE MOON!'''
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[DoctorWho Davros]] and a [[Franchise/MassEffect Reaper]] named Auditor entered an alliance, though the full extent of their partnership and their nefarious schemes has yet to be revealed.
** It likely never will be, as this arc has long since been buried under the [[strike:sands]] pages of time.
* BigDamnVillains: [[AngryBirds Mighty Eagle and his army of birds]] almost single-handedly defeated Discord during his reign of terror.
* BigFriendlyDog: [[HyperboleAndAHalf Simple Dog]]/[[FanNickname Am Dog]].
* TheBigRace: An areal [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Pokérace]] that started out with just a Dragonite and a Ho-Oh (with Mary and Pikachu as passengers respectively) and turned into a multi-competitor event with several legendaries making appearances. [[OlympusMons Arceus himself]] showed up at the end and commemorated the event by creating a constellation and a beautiful crystalline flower.
* BossFight: They happen every now and then.
* BreakTheCutie: Daisy's reaction to [[{{Jerkass}} Czer]] and Pentigan [[{{Squick}} screwing around with each other]] after she waited months to see him.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Both averted at all costs, and ruthlessly smashed in for the lulz. Dante and Yog Sothoth seem fond of this. Naked Snake cuts the crap and flat out communicates with the rest of the [=RPers=], including his own.
** Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff end up doing so when they learn a bit about how posts can get formatted, so much as pointing out out of character spoilers in their own posts and trying to use the smiley mark up to further their plans..
* BusCrash: Young!Cloud
* ButtMonkey: '''Cloud'''.
** Zidane, to an extent.
* ByronicHero: Cloud, to the letter. Bardock occasionally shows hints of this.
* CallBack: Cloud, being a long runner and mainstay
in the Castle room, drops some of Dreams arc, especially these at times. His alternate timeline's doomed self's tennis ball that Gordon gave him, the [[TheWonka eccentrically brilliant]] Barry Acres, dog tags with his name on them during his run as the Six Flags Guy {{Expy}} Cycle, and Aradia's gun are a few things he's cited.
** [=NoLegs=] returns after an almost ten-thousand page gap between appearances for an April Fools joke. He later [[spoiler:is unceremoniously killed by Mituna in a skateboarding accident.]]
* CantStayNormal: Cloud, not for lack of trying, mind you.
* CatGirl: Daisy turns into one for a bit.
** Chii as well, due to her persocom ears. She even acted like a cat during one King's Game.
* CasualDangerDialogue
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: For several characters.
* TheChewToy: Clippit can't help getting on others' bad side, which frequently results in him getting hurt in various amusing ways.
* CloningBlues: Lok, who was a clone of Cloud. Tried to replace the original to have a family like he did. Failed miserably. Died alone, and forgotten by everyone.
* ClusterFBomb: Mituna Captor, Revy, and Gunnery Sgt. Hartman.
* ColonyDrop: Majora's Mask attempted to make the moon fall. Guillo trying to ''destroy it as it fell'' certainly didn't help.
* ComfortingComforter: [[BigBrotherInstinct Cloud]] will do this for nearly anyone, but particularly Daisy and Delta.
** Rosarita does this for Near, albeit with more romantic intent.
* ComicTrio: In what is possibly the ''strangest'' example of this trope...
** TheLeader: Majora, usually with some prank, trick or other malevolent act.
** TheFool: Sub-Niggurath ("Shubby"), who sees nothing wrong in messing with "the silly mortalses."
** OnlySaneMan: Griff, who is unfortunately dragged along for the ride by his two godly "friends."
* TheCorruption: What can only be made of [[SweetBroAndHellaJeff GEROMY and The Big Man]]. Their appearances spreads jpeg artifacts and threatens to make everybody into a shitty Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff parody of their original self.
* CurbstompBattle: Cloud vs. [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Egg Walker]]. All it took was a single slash, which removed all 4 legs from Eggman's machine.
** Eggman seems to have appeared only for these. The second one was right after the first, with it ending in someone slicing [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog the wrecking ball]] in half. The third one he did somewhat better, but the [[VideoGame/SonicColors Nega-Wisp Armour]] wasn't up to the task. It turned into a curbstomp once Sonic showed up.
** Rust Monsters had never stood a chance...
* CuteKitten: Serena, Sissel, Victus and [[BalefulPolymorph Daisy]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: The RP thread for this one. Also, the story arcs in the FG involving Jenova
and the water show at the very end.Traveller.
* DealWithTheDevil: With various gods and demons showing up, this happens quite often. [[ShapedLikeItself It has yet to]] ''[[ShapedLikeItself not]]'' [[ShapedLikeItself backfire horribly.
]]
** [[spoiler:The ''entire moon'' is converted into a badass spaceship * DeliberateValuesDissonance: Cloud has no problem with the concept of child soldiers, and treats death much more casually than several others in the Spaceship arc, as room, if not a bit more respectfully.
* DemonicPossession: Not technically a demon either time, but this happens to Volkov and Cloud.
** Happens to Cloud a ''lot.'' Done by Angra Mainyu three times, Azathoth twice, Yog Sothoth twice, an anonymous Elder Thing once, his SplitPersonality several times (though these are usually voluntary, and have happened much less after he takes over Jenova), Jenova six times, and Soul Edge Twice.
** The first occurence with Soul Edge
is notable in particular for causing the room itself.Junon Incident... namely, [[spoiler: Cloud went on a bloodlust/Jenova-fueled rampage and leveled a third of the city, killing thousands. By the time he managed to throw off control, the damage had been done, and after spending three months in confinement by the WRO with a lobotomy chip in his brain, he was allowed to go, with a TrackingChip implanted in the back of his neck as punishment. ]] It later happened again, with Cloud failing and attempting to permanently take control of Soul Edge, but he was reigned in by Toras Tarvok before much damage was done.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Majora. She only managed to fool about half of the room, as said people weren't quite as GenreSavvy as the other half. Said other half mourned her death, only for her to pop up later in a different form to watch the fun.
]]
* TheVirus: Jenova. Also, the vampire blood.
* TraumaCongaLine: Cloud is slowly driven insane from the buildup of stressful events preceeding the Traveller arc in the forum game, then is openly despised by Zack (as neither of them know they are from alternate timelines). Zack then tries to kill him, and is killed (again), then is brought back as a sadistic monster, who hates Cloud just as much. He is then [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by Nagato, his hallucinations taunting him all the while.
[[spoiler: This, however, culminates in a CMOA for him, where he [[ShutUpHannibal tells Zack in so many words to stuff it.]] ]]
* [[spoiler:TrueFinalBoss: Nyarlathotep, for the Persona arc.
DrivenToSuicide: "Roberta" and Cloud]]
** [[spoiler: SuicideByCop: Attempted by Cloud [[hottip:*:separately from his prior, successful attempt]] with Majora after his memory of his family is erased and Fen is killed.
]]
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: Cloud's response to Not!Zack. [[MindRape Shame it doesn't last for later on....Ray and Spoof-Cloud. ]] ]]
* YankTheDogsChain: Cloud. So very, very often.
* YourSoulIsMine:
[[spoiler:Seemingly Cloud can do this.

* BigBad: Crimson Moon
* BodyHorror: Cloud. He simply has no luck
at all...

* EveryScarHasAStory: Used to be a popular conversation starter for someone to talk about how they received a certain scar.
* FriendToAllChildren: Cloud, to a ridiculous degree. The number
of humanity, meaning it can TykeBomb[=s=] he's befriended is staggering.
* ForWantOfANail: Gear Leader's Kamina comes from a world where Simon died in place of him. Because Kamina could
never be truly killed until humanity itself is enlightened (something one push himself as far as Simon did, Yoko and Kittan are dead and Team Dai-Gurren has been in a losing struggle against Lord Genome for seven years.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Riki's chasing around a treasure chest that spontaneously causes traps wherever it goes! Cloud's just gonna do his katas.
** Oh no! Lilith's been heavily injured by holy powers! Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff are just going to continue dealing with a flood
of arrows and their own shenanigans while Cloud the heroes eventually sets out Cycle does random mundane things to accomplish). [[spoiler: However, on avoid getting involved.
** Good gracious, Haseo's rampaging in

** Davesprite, Dave, Dirk and Violent J's three on one Juggalo-coolkid throwdown.
* GuiltComplex: Gordon Freeman and Cloud

* HotSpringsEpisode: Estelle drags Yuno to onsen. A minute later, everyone from the Room is in there as well. Complete with Cloud being a {{Butt Monkey}}, hot lesbian action between Lilith, Casshern and [[spoiler: Tomo]] and more various hijinks.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Cloud, multiple times, [[DrowningMySorrows which always leads to him getting drunk.]] The grand total is twenty-eight times, and it is believed he may have developed a bit of a drinking problem.
** [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] too. He only visits the room for two reasons: to make sure Rei is safe and to get hammered.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to Bang Shishigami, and later Cloud.
* InnBetweenTheWorlds: What the room can best be described as.
* KickTheDog: Thanos imprisoning Cloud in a cage in bird form. Which generally wouldn't be a problem, but Cloud has a huge problem with confined spaces due to a few things that happened in his backstory.
* KilledOffForReal: So far, [[spoiler: Anomaly!Cloud ([[MercyKill put out of his misery by Dante]], Azathoth (killed by Cloud), Daudz (killed in his infancy by Cloud), and Zagi (absorbed by Cloud during one of his Episodes).
]]
* BittersweetEnding: And how! On KillTheOnesYouLove: Cloud has the one hand, misfortune to wind up offing [[spoiler: Nyx has been defeated, Minato actually ''survived,'' Aven Ray, Zack, Tifa, and Daudz, his own son.]] The ResetButton was pushed via time paradox for the latter two, [[KilledOffForReal writing the last one out of existence entirely.]]
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Happens on occasion.
* LongRunner: More than 7,000 pages and 175,000 posts as of October 16[[superscript:th]], 2012, and at the current posting rate, it doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon, either.
* LudicrousGibs: The aftermath of a [[VideoGame/KillingFloor specimen]] attack on DJ Scully's room. He's still trying to figure out how to clean the mess.
* MindRape: Done to Cloud, frequently. Guy can barely go a week without one. Did it ''to'' someone a few times, when suitably pissed. Griff was also subjected to a couple, first from the Absolutionist, who wanted to judge him for his "sins", and later Majora, who wanted him as a puppet.
* MomentKiller: Excalibur, in as much as this is possible when it's not a romantic moment.
** Naked Snake enjoys doing this. He thought it was a good idea to sneak up on Near and Rosarita's love scene, and the response [[MegatonPunch was inmediate]].
** Singed occasionally does it as well and let's not even get started at Hazama...

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The Great Seal, making the party a tad reluctant to allow Minato to become part of it.
* ScrewDestiny: One of the central themes. A discussion frequently had by the main charaters was whether Minato truly had to die to become the Great Seal and preven The Fall.

* WhatTheHellHero: The Doctor delivers one to Sagi, Alpha and Rock [[spoiler: after Miss Maliwan is threatened, tortured and killed by each respectively.]] He doesn't speak much to them, but still manages to cripple them with guilt.

!The Deluge arc contains examples of:

* AbortedArc: Many, due to there being too many players to do them all properly, leaving many plot threads hanging.
* AlienGeometries: The altered city.
* AllThereInTheManual: Due to time constraints, several arcs were cut, leaving many things that would have been given a definitive answer very vague.
** For starters, Dr. Stabler [[spoiler: was aware
power of the nature of Chaos Emeralds to move the city. He was playing all the fields, and intentionally triggered the outbreak of Calamity virus to pressure his buyers, due room to a mistake he made when he released a sample (that broken terrarium in his lab around Thanksgiving? He had some infected mice. They got out. He let the virus spread and propagated it in order to cover his ass and make the feds and the terrorist group (which, in case you didn't pick up, was headed by the Auditor) scramble to buy his silence. This matches up with the dates, including the odd happenstances three months ago and the discovery of the burial site). Most of his arc wound up cut, and the few bits that did make it in were too subtle unless you were Sherlock or something. ]]
*** In relation to this, [[spoiler: the government ''did'' want to produce a bioweapon out of this super totes cool alien the found, though ("That won't backfire at all!" [[hottip:*: Well, actually, it didn't. Not in the way these things usually go, anyway]]. That's what, as
spot far was they knew, the project was about. The men in suits allowed it because it provided them with an excuse to have Cloud nearby and restrained so they could run experiments. The Auditor wanted to use him to take out "Colonel Sanders", but he was more of a side project than anything else, and not really relevant to his overall scheme (which still has not been revealed.). They were all working towards their own goals, but one group was being puppeteered by the other that was being puppeteered by the other away from the get-go. And Stabler, naturally was fucking with them all. The Auditor did not appreciate this. [[BoomHeadshot Look where Waluigi horde so that got him.]] ]]
** Details on the "[[Film/DarkCity Suits]]" that some people found confusing: they were [[spoiler: an alien race that were nearly extinct. They were studying humans, who have individual identities, as opposed to their hivemind, figuring that this must be their secret to survival. In order to narrow down what made an individual an individual, they would change the city (a copy of Vegas, made by the Auditor) every night using their reality warping abilities, as well as a machine that amplified them, and implant different memories into the populace frequently, seeing what changed and what didn't with what were essentially different souls (brain patterns, but whatever). They had a special interest in Cloud, who had his own [[TheVirus hivemind]], and yet an identity separate from then, and the ability to intercept and interact with all those memories and maintain his sense of self, for the most part. Studying and experimenting on him was what helped them perfect the process, since their data is largely chemical, in contrast to our electronic machine-based tech, and on top of that, they needed a human-like mind that was still slimilar to their own, to learn how to bridge the gap. Cloud was perfect for this. Win-win. [-[[{{Dissimile}} Except for Cloud]], whose life is in a perpetual state of suck, but let's not split hairs here.-] ]]
*** [[spoiler: They stop time and shift all the clones in the city and themselves to another plane of existence to do their memory thing.]] These were the times when the city was "empty", yet moved occasionally, and could be changed. [[spoiler: Cloud himself was aware of this, but did not mention it for fear of the "don't think about pink elephants" effect. All it would take was one person panicking about their abilities to rip the whole place to bits by thinking about ripping the whole place to bits.]]
*** The un-timestopped phase was what the city was like normally, and what the party experienced until Cloud was awakened and unconsciously took them out of it.
*** The emergency phase was the third timeline, and the one [[spoiler:swarming with Suits. It's so they can fix things in case
[[BystanderSyndrome someone gets out, like the party did.]]
** Cloud was [[spoiler: made into "Dave" when he got caught and implanted
else can deal with fake (and ironically, happier) memories, bombarding him with the same injection repeatedly until he was overwhelmed by the new information. They changed his eyes because that's all they could manage, and hid him in plain sight in the city.]]
** The Doctor and Cloud were cloned due to, again, their unique minds. Cloud, so they'd have a backup in case the original, er, "[[HeroicBSOD broke]]" during testing, and the Doctor because he's basically the smartest thing ever, and a Time Lord. Cloning something with genes as complex as Cloud and the Doctor didn't quite work, though, especially when everyone in the city wasn't meant to live long, anyway. The Doctors died (hence their regeneration into Ten, and he didn't last long, either), and the Cloud they made wound up blind, and emotionally closed off due to being messed up in the brain (even moreso than the real Cloud).
** The Auditor made them this city, and maintained all three timelines/planes in exchange for a few tests of his own.
* AnyoneCanDie: Should anyone go on to do something incredibly stupid or make a terribly wrong move, bodies can and have dropped.
** Presently dead are [[spoiler: Bang Shishigami, Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, and Deimos.]]
** Subverted when it got to the point where a TPK really should have occurred several times over, in which Spaz simply gave up.
* CallBack: Marno's demotions from the Spaceship arc are referenced when he loses the "waiting game."
* CuckooNest:It is still unknown whether or not the daytime city or the altered city is real or not, or if nothing is real to begin with, or even if the people they've met actually exist. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that all three timelines are very real, as well as the MindScrew earlier in.]]
* EldritchLocation: The other city, which is a openly hostile place that was built by the men in suits and shifts and bends at will to them.
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: Everyone in the city. Cloud has access to all of these, until they are ultimately used on him to hide him in plain sight as "David Mitinger".]]
* FissionMailed: At one point, a [[spoiler: clown with a jetpack appears and [[DiabolusExMachina suddenly kills everyone]] for no apparent reason.]] Then the group wakes up, completely unharmed.
* HumanoidAbomination: The sinister men in suits who built and patrol the other city.
* MonsterClown: A homicidal, seemingly immortal clown has become a threat to the group on several occasions, and in one case [[spoiler:killed them all.]]
* NotUsingTheZWord: None of the universe's natives have referred to the people suffering zombie-like symptoms as zombies, though the GenreSavvy members of the team show no hesitation in doing so.
** [[{{Jossed}} And then it turns out they weren't actually zombies.]]
* RealityEnsues: Breaking a door off in broad daylight and setting an alarm off? Police surrounded the group in an instant.
* RealityWarper: The Suits. [[spoiler: Later, the entire party.]]
* {{Room 101}}: What the half-stopped timestream is like,[[spoiler: due to the unstable nature of reality and the amplifier, allowing things like dreams and fears to manifest physically.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: More so than the previous arc. The group is often left without clear directions forward, and friction between Aven, the Doctor and the Major for leadership caused sparks to fly on more than one occasion.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The gang passed through Las Vegas with only a few glances and even fewer questions. Then again, with all the strange events going on, they are probably some of the less odd things around. This was mostly because the GM couldn't think of an excuse to not have them all incarcerated repeatedly.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook: After the Area 51 group gets captured, some of guards mourns for their losses in the preceding shootout.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Some of the party begin to question whether or not Cloud is simply a tool a little while after he joins the party.

!The Fragments and Reflections arc contains examples of:

* AllMythsAreTrue: A standard staple of SMT.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Dio Brando ripped [[CuteWitch Elisa's]] lungs out, drained her blood, then froze her and [[LiterallyShatteredLives shattered her body]]]].
* RealityEnsues: And the GM doesn't intend to give up halfway when the players keep doing things that would get them arrested this time... so far, anyway.

Not actually part of the arc, so it goes in the general section. Also, as nice as that quote was, it\'s not terribly informative, nor, in one case, is it accurate. In fact, this isn\'t really that helpful, considering these potholes could refer to many people, so I have no idea who anyone is playing as, and as a result have to archive binge to find out what these quotes are talking about.
