* OneOfUs: Many of the members of the site, admins included, frequent Wiki/TVTropes and can consider themselves avid tropers. Even without [=TVTropes=] as a criteria, you'd be hard pressed to find a member or handler who doesn't have some sort of interest that puts them square in this category.

Added DiffLines:

* TheOtherDarrin: A variant of this occurs with character adoption. The site has an official system in place that allows handlers to write characters who have gone inactive, and occasionally handlers decide to hand off their characters to someone else. This is frequently a way for handlers who missed sign-ups to get into the game. This is also common in the "Second Chances" AU, since many of the characters are played by different writers.

* AscendedFanon: A staff member once joked that Dennis Lourvey, one of the terrorist programmers, paid his way through MIT by being a male stripper. This was quickly accepted as canon. Similar 'throw it in' moments happen at a startling rate.

* ScheduleSlip: Every version has had the occasional slip in schedule, but this is most prevalent in v3, where there was a 5-month hiatus in between Eddie Sullivan's death (7th place), and James Brown and Alexis Machina's death (6th and 5th place), then a seven-month hiatus between then and endgame being released. This extended period of time allowed for ''one-and-a-half-years'' of [[DevelopingDoomedCharacters pre-game]].
** During the first part of V5, the Zetaboards server that the site was hosted on crashed, resulting in two months or so of downtime.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: There are a large number of self insert characters or characters who are basically people each handler knows in real life. These characters are typically portrayed realistically, however.

** A notable one occurred during V3's escape attempt. Both [[spoiler:Julie Mikan]] and [[spoiler:Darnell Butler]] were supposed to survive much longer than they actually did. [[spoiler:In fact, they were supposed to escape the island altogether]]. However, due to their handlers leaving the site midway through, the characters were [[KilledOffForReal killed off instead]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Pops up from time to time as a result of either an AbortedArc, handlers scrapping the idea, characters' deaths before the idea could be executed, mods disapproving, handlers leaving the site, etc. Examples noted on the wiki include Blood Boy getting a facial reconstruction in pre-game, a lot of things about Cillian Crowe that were planned but never carried out, Adam Dodd TakingTheBullet for Amanda Jones, Walter Smith being an EvilCounterpart to a character that never made it into the game, and others.
