* TvTropesDrinkingGame: while '''I don't drink any alcoholic beverages,''' there's one for ''you''. Step 1: look for any article where I added an image. [[SelfDeprecation Step 2: see if my image was replaced.]] Step 3: ''drink''. Here are some good starting points: {{HighOctaneNightmareFuel/Metroid}}, {{MindScrew/VideoGames}}, AlternateReedRichardsIsAwesome, DangerouslyGenreSavvy, BambiMeetsGodzilla, BrutalBonusLevel, WalkingTheEarth. Sorry, [[DontExplainTheJoke but my images get changed all the time,]] so I can't quite keep track of all of them.

G'd evening, gentlemen and ladies. This is Alex/Sora 89, the Italian troper who brought you, among other things, [[{{It/CarburantePerIncubi}} the Italian page for]] NightmareFuel, the various page-images that now decorate some of the pages (including panels from the [[CrackFic 34th issue]] of WhatIf) and even ''created'' some of the articles (see: {{Powerless}} and BulletPoints). Oh, and those quotes by Italian comedian Omar Fantini about TheEighties? My doing! [[hottip:*: Actually my opening quote for RoseOfVersailles got deleted, but maybe it's better that way - Omar Fantini's book about the eighties properly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]] anything from that decade by giving it a humorous impact on today's society. [[GIJoe And now you know]]!]] My most recent work, as of this edit, is the ''MiniMarvels'' article. Given it NeedsMoreLove and NeedsWikiMagicLove as well, feel free to help.

I've now become a member of the SocietyToPreventOverlyOriginalNames, or [[FunWithAcronyms SPOON]] for short, the key word being ''[[{{Understatement}} "overly"]]'' in terms of [[NonindicativeName nonindicative trope names.]] [[hottip:Here's why.: Simply put, "AllTheMyriadWays" (which, when I found it on a work's article, forced me to browse my way to the laconic entry to find out it was about how AnyoneCanDieInOtherUniverses!) was where I decided that ''[[SamuelLJackson ENOUGH IS ENOUGH]]'' (in fact I created quite a bunch of useful redirects for that trope) in terms of [[{{Understatement}} nonindicative]] trope names and that, combined with a statement by a member of {{FORKS}} (for those curious, it was, [[{{DarthWiki/WallBanger}} "That's what the f***ing articles are for"]]), convinced me to join this group instead. Also convinced that [[PeopleLettingAllTropeTitlesExistRelishably Most Trope Titles Should Exist Relishably]], but only if those titles are ''both'' original (read: they have a TropeNamer in a certain work) and '''''clear.''''']]

!!Welcome to Troper Talk! It's like a chalkboard where you can write - by editing - whatever the hell you want, and maybe I might even answer. Give it a try!

** I also have a BerserkButton about ''this very site'', but it's a relatively minor one - that is, the various obnoxious changes made recently to TvTropes. Most of them (read: the disabling of strikeouts and YMMV tropes getting their own [[strike: ghetto]] separate tab are the worst ones to me) are summed up in '''[[{{DarthWiki/RuinedForever}} this]]''' page. Now, it's not like I "loathe" those changes, but I hope you may understand me if I don't quite rejoice for them.

[[GIJoe And now you know]]!]] My most recent work, as of this edit, is the KonamiKrazyRacers article.

I've been anonymously lurking the site since, on that fateful day, [[TheOtherWiki Wikipedia]] brought me here through an external link. After [[NonstandardGameOver the first page]] of this website I browsed... [[WikiWalk well,]] [[TheTetrisEffect you know...]] [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife nothing has ever been the same anymore]].

I'm currently planning to use the new "Quest editor" - or whatever it was called - in ''[[DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy]]'' to create some {{fan fic}}s in playable form, with the first two ideas of mine being, namely, a "MissingEpisode" of ''CodeLyoko''[[hottip:*: (in which Jeremie uses ''Dissidia'' - the game itself - as a basis for virtualisation, and as a result the Lyoko warriors' avatars end up being characters from ''Dissidia'' who best fit them, both in personality and combat. And this is as much as I'm willing to spoil.)]] and [[AndTheFandomRejoiced not-comedically-abridged versions of the numbered Final Fantasy titles.]][[hottip:*: You can tell this isn't such a crazy idea if you consider that, aside from actual characters that appear "as themselves", [[FridgeBrilliance Square has deliberately chosen the newcomers almost only because of this feature,]] [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything like a summoner like Yuna can work fine as Final Fantasy IV's Rydia, or Kain Highwind and Laguna Loire acting/posing as Cid Highwind and Barret Wallace respectively, and so on]].]] I've actually started creating one, just as a simple way to test out the "Quest editor" mode, called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Test Quest"]] which, during development, [[DoingItForTheArt evolved into]] something more original[[hottip:*: Simply put, I, as the narrator, get interrupted by [[FinalFantasyVI Kefka]] during my first lines of dialogue, since starting by saying "after the thirteenth cycle" (that is, after Dissidia's Kefka got KilledOffForReal) prompted Kefka to [[FridgeLogic think about how he could possibly be reborn]], only to realise that, thanks to the resulting {{Deadpool}}-esque MediumAwareness, he's in one of the things he loathes the most: [[SelfDeprecation a bad fanfic.]] Add a DuckAmuck-like conflict between me and Kefka, and HilarityEnsues.]]. If I somehow manage to overcome the limits of the Quest Editor[[hottip:*:such as dialogue length limit, impossibility to add event cutscenes and to change either BGM or scenery halfway through a scene, and the BGM list for cutscenes not including battle music]], the tentative title of the Abridged Final Fantasy series is scheduled to be "FF[insert number] Mini (English[[hottip:*: they would eventually be released in Italian too, obviously.]] [part X of Y])", where "part x of y" means they'll be in episodic format.

Toying with said Quest Editor resulted in the first episode of an ''actual'' "abridged Final Fantasy" being completed before the "LostEpisode of CodeLyoko", resulting in "[[FinalFantasyIV FF4]]mini 1/?", where the question mark temporarily stands for the number of episodes (meaning that I still don't know how many of them are required in order to tell FinalFantasyIV properly). I've considered that the limited length of the title that can be given to a quest would make writing a simple "[[FinalFantasyVII FF7]][[FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren AC]]mini ?/?" impossible, so, given the GainaxEnding of FinalFantasyVII I've decided to simply include Advent Children in the abridged version of the former. I don't know if I can do the same with FinalFantasyIV, considering that while AC is a movie with a few iconic battles (easy to transform into one single quest as the last part of [=FF7mini=]), FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears is a lot longer, despite sharing the presence of Alt costumes related to it with AC).

Four episodes of ''[[FinalFantasyIV FF4mini]]'' are completed so far, respectively covering:
* Part 1 - covers the story from the opening/beginning (the return to Baron) until [[spoiler: the destruction of Mist.]]
* Part 2 - covers the story from Cecil [[spoiler: taking Rydia to Kaipo]] until the introduction of Yang.
* Part 3 - covers the story until the moment [[spoiler: Cecil becomes a Paladin.]] [[GameplayAndStorySegregation (Story-wise, at least.)]]
* Part 4 - covers the story from the return to Mysidia [[spoiler: as a Paladin]] until [[spoiler: Kain tells Cecil that he and Golbez will release Rosa only if they give the last remaining crystal in exchange.]]

Due to the editor forcing cutscenes to be punctuated by battles, this is going to be one hell of a PragmaticAdaptation, with flashbacks and whatnot (including [[spoiler: the destruction of Mist]]) ending up being playable battles [[PlayerPunch (whatever t]][[ControllableHelplessness he price)]], with Feral Chaos' general (and somewhat generic) monstrous apperance leading him to be used as a stand-in for any monstrous creature[[hottip:*: no need to fear, Feral Chaos never appears as the SNKBoss he's supposed to be]], alongside [[CreepySexy Cloud Of Darkness]] and, in the case of [[spoiler: Baigan]], [[HumanoidAbomination Neo Exdeath]].

* TvTropesRuinedMyLife: well, more like "screwed up my sleep cycle" *yawn* than "ruined my life", [[TemptingFate but...]] [[ViolationOfCommonSense still...]] [[CriticalExistenceFailure *goes limp*]]

Five episodes of ''[[FinalFantasyIV FF4mini]]'' are completed so far, respectively covering:

* Part 2 - covers the story from Cecil [[spoiler: taking Rydia to Kaipo]] until Rosa [[FramingDevice telling Cecil]] how [[spoiler: she got [[ControllableHelplessness "struck down"]] by desert fever]], which appears as [[spoiler: a CPU-controlled armor-less Garland]].
* Part 3 - covers the story until the introduction of Yang.
* Part 4 - covers the story until the moment [[spoiler: Cecil becomes a Paladin.]] [[GameplayAndStorySegregation (Story-wise, at least.)]]
* Part 5 - covers the story from the return to Mysidia [[spoiler: as a Paladin]] until [[spoiler: Kain tells Cecil that he and Golbez will release Rosa only if they give the last remaining crystal in exchange.]]

** [[GratuitousItalian Oh, un altro troper italiano! Non ci speravo più nemmeno io, così tanto che sarei io a dover dire "finalmente"! Sai, scrivere tutta quella pagina è stata una faticaccia, ma ne è valsa la pena.]][[hottip:*: [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything For those curious,]] [[GenreSavvy because I know you are:]] "Huh, another Italian troper! I wasn't hoping for it anymore either, so much that I should be the one to say "finally"! You know, writing [[NightmareFuel that whole page]] was tremendously tiresome, but it was WorthIt.]] Uh, sorry for my gratuitous Italian. Anyway, I've been writing some stuff in Italian language in this wiki (including the aforementioned Italian page for NightmareFuel[[hottip:*: that I originally titled with a [[{{Woolseyism}} pragmatic]] "Carbura Incubi", by the way]]), but I've also done the same thing in reverse: I've written stuff about obscure things from Italy such as GinoTheChicken and, one evening when I was horribly bored, even about the infamous BattyAndGay porn comic book. If you know it, you can read the article and have a chuckle, provided you're not laughing already. Given the presence of articles about politicians (BarackObama just to name one), I'm planning to write an article for Silvio Berlusconi but, given how controversial the figure is, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment it might actually be tricky to pull off.]] And ever since I discovered I'm good at writing [[HaikuWiki haiku]] (something I could never have suspected myself to be capable of), [[TvTropesWillRuinYourLife Tv Tropes]] [[BeyondTheImpossible has become even more of a drug for me.]] [[SkywardScream I've gotta go to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!]] Anyway, seriously, it's been nice seeing there are other actual Italian tropers around here, so... catch ya around!
