13[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=1 GET THAT PIZZA!]] is an ongoing roleplay thread on our Forum Games section. It was started on October 27, 2019, by Tropers/Awe921. A spinoff, [[https://troublecube.net/mybb/Thread-GET-THAT-PIZZA-REBAKED GET THAT PIZZA!: REBAKED]], was created on Trouble Cube on January 23rd, 2021, though the original thread remains active.
14
15The premise is simple. There is a pizza. Everyone wants it. Everyone who posts must take the pizza in some way. What follows is an endless string of increasingly violent and complex actions as the tropers fight each other in a variety of ways, all for the sake of pizza time.
16----
17!!This pizza contains examples of:
18
19* AbortedArc:
20** Melecie was supposed to originally go insane and have a FaceHeelTurn, lashing out at everyone who takes the pizza, however after Melecie returned on page 68 this was cancelled.
21** President Dvorak trying to smooth things over after a limited nuclear exchange with France was dropped after 3 pages.
22* AGodAmI: On page 108, Janky Kong declares himself to be the god of pizza after he is revived from being crushed by a meteor previously. He then subsequently gets defeated by a single elbow bash from [=SomeLibre=], meaning that this form was most likely just for show.
23* AnotherDimension: The fight for the pizza has spanned many universes, including Heaven, Hell, "A dimension where Dvorak never got his ship blown up, but is otherwise identical", one where everyone is an economist, and one that's exactly the same, except everyone's name is backwards, and a fantasy world where The Pizza is part of the Creation Myth (and that's not even most of them).
24* AnarchyIsChaos: When Wm abolished money, he specified that this was the kind of anarchy to break out. Later on, however, Madame Butterfly Knife makes a post set in an anarcho-communist commune, which is explicitly ''not'' this trope.
25* AnimateInanimateObject: The pizza is briefly made self-aware and psychic. It then splits into three Pokémon-esque critters for a time before being forcibly merged with every other pizza in existence.
26* AnthropicPrinciple: Nobody can ever actually chow down on the pizza, because then the game will end. People who ([[IndestructibleEdible somehow]])destroy it are generally good enough sports to order a new one to keep the game alive.
27* AntiClimax: After [=TomoeHawk's=] entire flashy barge-in intro, she's killed by Sylvi with little to no effort whatsoever; not even in a blaze of glory, she's just zapped into dust. Its headmate Robin points out the anticlimax himself.
28* AnyoneCanDie: The tropers frequently kill each other to get the pizza. However, since players can do anything, anyone can also come BackFromTheDead so they can keep playing.
29* ApocalypseHow:
30** Bluethorn uses a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Giratina]] to open a hole in the fabric of reality. This results in a ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 apocalypse, AKA the destruction of the universe. Fortunately, everyone was able to relocate to a new universe.
31** Dhiruxide casts a replication spell on a slice of pizza so everyone can have some. [[GoneHorriblyWrong it replicates so much that it floods the universe in pizza]]. THAT universe is ALSO abandoned tute suite.
32** Lower down on the scale, Wm caused an apocalypse that sits somewhere between class 0 and class 2 when he abolished money, thus crashing the global economy and causing chaos in the streets, [[ExploitedTrope which several tropers took advantage of to get the pizza]].
33** A ApocalypseHow/ClassX5 occurs with Chuck-e-Cheese finally obtains the pizza, turning it Hawaiian and consuming It. He begins overtaking the plane of existence after ascending into a godlike form. Though nothing bad really happened afterward, with Chuck-e-Cheese having new threats to deal with.
34** A ApocalypseHow/ClassX3(closer to a ApocalypseHow/ClassX4, in fact) is brought on by [[GodOfLight Laniakea]] ( the main god of the stars and the universe) and [[SapientShip The Cosmic Ark]](a spaceship so long it has to be measured in ''light-years''!), by setting off vacuum decay numerous times inside the Virgo Supercluster and then ripping the undestroyed galaxies around it into their constituent quarks and leptons.
35** One player even managed to cause a ApocalypseHow/ClassZ-1 by use of the [[Series/DoctorWho Reality Bomb]]. Fortunately but [[UnexplainedRecovery somehow]], the pizza omniverse came out fine.
36** Afterward created a ''whole new universe'' after someone actually managed to eat The Pizza by meditating on the nature of reality, games, and pizza for several aeons.
37* ArcVillain:
38** Creator/ChuckECheese has been leading an army to capture the pizza, turn into Hawaiian to subsequently control all of reality. He had TheDragon in the form of M1gami, only to replace him with Negami, an evil clone of his. Negami himself seems be the most actively malicious of those trying to get to the pizza.
39** [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton]] is also shaping up to be this. Not only is he out to get the pizza, but he's also plotting to make Freddy Fazbear's Pizza the ONLY pizzeria in all of existence. Chica was originally TheDragon, but it's later revealed that [[DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent she was only pretending]], and that William promised her that he'd reunite her with her friends.
40* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=45#comment-1112 West's new pizza]] after blasting Dhir and the previous pizza with a destruction ray is made of dew from Mount Tai, flour from two ears of wheat from Chinese Heaven, meat from a celestial chicken and... some cheese mix brought at the supermarket.
41* AsHimself: The tropers play fictionalized versions of themselves with enhanced powers and weapons.
42* ATeamFiring: Florien is a lousy shot, and their attempts to take the pizza with guns tend to result in them switching to a backup plan or [[AccidentalAimingSkills unintentionally hitting just what they need to hit]].
43* BodyBackupDrive: Dvorak had several backup [[PossessingADeadBody bodies]] stored on his spaceship, including an (ex-)millionaire and a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie cyborg]] UndeadAbomination called "Devourak."
44* BoringButPractical: Whistle sometimes resorts to this, such as cutting off others' hands to get the pizza, or lighting Foreman up with a propane tank to make them explode.
45* BornUnlucky: [[blue:Moon]] whenever she's in Florida - she'll always wind up buried in something, no matter what.
46* BrickJoke:
47** On page 63, Melecie casually fires an arrow in the sky and disappears from the thread. He returns by the end of page 68, where the shot arrow multiples and comes back down on Superjohn's monster truck.
48** Moonstone was shown to have a friend working for [[{{WesternAnimation/Veggietales}} Pizza Angel]] and tried taking the pizza to them on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=84#comment-2097 page 84]], and later on the following page, was revealed to be a pizza delivery person working for the same company, [[{{FridgeBrilliance}} hence why she went to deliver the pizza]].
49** [[blue:Moon]] also uses the fact that she got buried in rainbow soap in Florida to her advantage against Florien and Florian.
50* TheBusCameBack: Dvorak came back to chase the pizza [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=151#comment-3764 midway down page 151]] after a long absence studded with cameos where he'd chase the Pizza for a post or two for old time's sake.
51* CallBack:
52** On page 21, [=MadameButterflyKnife=] slits Dhiruxide's throat to get the pizza, commenting that sometimes the best solution is the quickest one. Dhir returns the favor later on the page when he shoots Knife in the head for the pizza, again commenting the best solution is the quickest one. And once Dhir annihilates most the universe to be alone with the pizza, Knife beheads him. Once again, the best solution is the quickest one.
53** [=KungFuCutBug=] walks out of an UnrealisticBlackHole unharmed, steals the pizza, and walks back in on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=22#comment-534 page 22]]. They do it again (stealing the pizza from the same troper, no less) on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=26#comment-628 page 26]].
54** Tropers/DookieIdiotNimrod [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=29#comment-710 has a post that runs on this.]] from bringing back two of his original characters, Dookie and Nimrod, to adding a story to his first original character, Idiot. To even explaining why the pizza is so addicting in the first place. He even wraps Tropers/NineTailedCat’s lab and Tropers/Awe921 taking the pizza in the first place.
55** '''EVIL Foreman''' is a George Foreman grill from a universe when Foreman was never turned back into a human. His goal is even to destroy the pizza, like what Foreman did when he was turned into a grill.
56** [=KungFuCutBug=] manages to swipe the pizza by abusing [[BlowYouAway wind powers]] granted to them via a [[Franchise/MortalKombat Fujin]] cosplay on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=27#comment-669 page 27]]. They use the cosplay to their advantage again on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=42#comment-1048 page 42]], although this time they use [[KatanasAreJustBetter his katana]] instead of his wind manipulation.
57* CallForward: At one point, Awe gained time travel powers. He then "went back in time" by editing a lot of his first-page posts to be interactions with his other selves, though they always ended with [[InSpiteOfANail the pizza being yoinked anyway]].
58* CatapultToGlory: Dvorak uses his ship's mass driver cannon instead of a catapult, relying on the great ruddy hole he just rammed in his opponents hull to take them out while he collects the pizza.
59* TheCameo: The Succubus from ''Things Bob is Not Allowed to Do on TV Tropes'' makes an appearance; helping Dvorak escape the police in exchange for a (literal) peice of the pie.
60* ChekhovsBoomerang: A [[https://the-magnus-archives.fandom.com/wiki/NotThem NotThem]] from ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=97#comment-2422 is used by]] an individual identified as [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8NknAFiyhOUaZqHR3lq3Q QuackityHQ]] with a Vtuber persona to make Sylvi give up her pizza under the threat of being RetGone from every story she has ever existed in. Another [=NotThem=] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=98#comment-2428 stabs Ronald McDonald and splits the pizza between Benbot and Libre.]]
61* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: [=KungFuCutBug=]'s schtick is wearing cosplays of fictional characters and subsequently assuming their powers.
62** ClothesMakeTheManiac: ...and using those powers to violent ends in order to obtain the pizza.
63* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Since Sylvi is plural, she and her headmates speak in different colors to distinguish themselves. [[pink:Sylvi uses pink]], [[blue:Robin uses blue]], [[gold:Anabiel uses gold]], [[green:Dream uses green]], and so forth.
64* ComedicSociopathy: The entire thread runs on this. No sane people would resort to such violent acts over a pizza, but the tropers in this thread do because it's funnier that way.
65* ContinuityNod: [=Awe921=] throws a bullet at [=DrNoPuma=] back in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=1#comment-6 page 1]], and does it again in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=22#comment-539 page 22.]]
66* CourtroomAntics: A common gag (albeit one that hasn't hit RunningGag status as of current edits) is for people to sue the previous owner and take the pizza as compensation.
67* {{Crossover}}:
68** Knife drives Awe from a time vortex [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=27#comment-662 into the TV Tropes Anti-Necro Thread]] in order to grab the pizza.
69** Bob, star of ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14992645520A41916300&page=1 Things Bob is No Longer Allowed to do on TV Tropes]]'' once got the Pizza, but was almost immediately ordered to put it back in play.
70* CloneArmy: This appears to be PsychoBan’s gimmick, but in the new dimension, PsychBan #6’s ghost has seemed to overshadow the original.
71* DeathIsCheap: Tropers get killed in a wide variety of ways, but always come back to make another go at the pizza. Even [[RetGone being erased from the timeline]] won't stop them for long.
72* DealWithTheDevil: Risdio has apparently made a deal with Satan: some pizza for a fraction of his power. Risdio later just gives up on the goal, using KlingonPromotion to gain Satan’s powers for himself to get the pizza.
73* DemonOfHumanOrigin: This apparently happened to Superjohn during his training in Hell to fight Dvorak.
74* {{Determinator}}: '''Everyone'''. Timeline abortions, fatal wounds, the pizza already being ''eaten'', NOTHING is going to stop the Tropers from trying to get the pizza. Helps that DeathIsCheap.
75* TheDividual: Florien becomes half of a dividual after teaming up with Florian, an unrelated person who happens to have a similar name. They've always appeared together since then, coming up with elaborate (and not so elaborate) two person plans to steal the Pizza.
76* ADogNamedDog: Nine-Tailed Cat is typically portrayed as an actual cat with nine tails.
77* DoggedNiceGuy: As time went on, Tzaoray went from attempting to eat the pizza to attempting to court it into a romantic relationship through pickup lines, dates, serenading, and a wedding.
78* DoubleEntendre: Superjohn once trained a SandWorm to help him steal the pizza. He rewards its good behavior with headpats. Dvorak steals the pizza while Superjohn's busy "petting the worm."
79* DraggedOffToHell: Superjohn has used this on players in order to get the pizza, unfortunately for him, those players were able to escape.
80* DudeNotFunny: Foreman [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Roleplay.GetThatPizza&more=t#edit27412083 vandalized this very page]] to get the Pizza. People didn't take too kindly to the joke, and he was soft-banned from the thread.
81* EarthShatteringKaboom:
82** On [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=35#comment-859 page 35]], [=Risdio51=] slices the planet Foodcourtia in half with a giant laser. The Earth itself gets blown up by [=NineTailedCat=]'s starship fleet [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=37#comment-915 two pages later]].
83** On page 108: Neptune explodes. It's heavily implied that Janky Kong was responsible, as it occured in one of his posts, but he denied involvement.
84%%* EnemyMine:
85%%** MP does this (does what?) with Negami and Chuck after PM, MP's alternate self, gets betrayed by [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton]].
86%%** MP does this again (does WHAT again?) with Chica when The Pizza gets stolen by Baby.
87* EveryoneHasStandards: [[{{@/SmilyTrope112}} Moon and Co]] don't take kindly to people stealing brains from others, as Brain Kuza learnt the hard way on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=90#comment-2235 page 90]]. On a meta level, Smily themself wouldn't allow it either.
88* EvilIsPetty: Libre [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=94#comment-2334 destroys what is essentially the entire Vtuber industry,]] despite easily getting the Pizza from Sylvi without involving any Vtubers at all. The only excuse he has is to provide story material from which major {{Story Arc}}s can be made later on.
89* EvilOverlord: Dvorak set himself up as a stereotypical Evil Overlord with the requisite army of orcs and skeletons.
90* FakeTown: Superjohn creates an entire fake San Francisco just to lure Tropers/NineTailedCat into a trap. How he created an entire fake city so quickly is unknown.
91* FantasticRacism: Mad has prejudice against pepperoni and is a pineapple supremacist.
92* FightForTheLastBite: The Tropers are fighting because there is only one pizza (or, rather, only one pizza worth having) and everyone wants it.
93* ForcedTransformation: Dvorak had, at one point, been [[BewitchedAmphibians turned into a frog.]] This didn't quell his lust for the pizza's cheesy goodness for even a moment. Additionally, Foreman was once turned into a George Foreman grill.
94* FusionDance:
95** M1gami does this with Foreman’s remains to become Foregami, the strongest of the users to face off against his former master... [[AntiClimax only to be killed immediately on the next post]].
96** Vyoj fuses with SCP-682, vaporizing Tzaoray with the power of a [[Anime/DragonBallSuper God of Destruction]].
97* GemstoneAssault:
98** Many of Melecie's posts involve him creating diamonds from thin air and throwing them at the opposition.
99** Taken literally with the introduction of [[{{WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse}} Ge]][[{{@/SmilyTrope112}} ms]], who have been assaulted on several occasions in the thread.
100* GetOut: Foreman's banning, caused by him editing this very page to get the pizza.
101* GeniusLoci: Fake San Francisco ends up being a giant Venus flytrap which is actually Whistle.
102* GodModders: A rare roleplay where godmodding is encouraged. Everyone is meant to be equally overpowered so that they can keep coming up with creative ways to kill each other and/or come back from the dead at a rapid pace.
103* HauntedHeadquarters: Dvorak's spaceship, courtesy of himself.
104* HeartBeatDown: [=TomoeHawk=] uses a beam of love to erase [=JKBenbot=] and snag the pizza.
105* HeelFaceTurn:
106** M1gami, after Chuck-e-Cheese tries killing him for his failures to obtain the pizza and being subsequently replaced by Negami. M1gami swore to ensure that his former master would never obtain the pizza.
107** Chica is originally TheDragon to William Afton, betraying PM, MP's AlternateSelf, but defects to MP's side after MP promises to reunite her with her friends.
108* HolyHandGrenade: Madame Butterfly Knife's preferred method of dispatching her fellow pizza chasers is by using her angelic abilities to deliver a divine smite with any one of her bladed weapons.
109* {{Hunting The Most Dangerous Game}}: On Superjohns private island he engages in this, presumably in between Pizza thefts.
110* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: Janky Kong does this on Page 127 in an attempt to confiscate the pizza from a pod of seals.
111* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: Only ''The'' Pizza is worth eating (which is why nobody just orders their own), cementing it's MacGuffin status.
112-->''"It must be THE Pizza, or Noid take it!"''
113* InsaneTrollLogic: Apparently, the fact that Earth keeps getting blown up and reconstituted means it's also after the pizza...
114* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: [=KingKong118=] holds another player at gunpoint to force them to hand over the pizza, [[EpicFail only to realize he forgot to load it with ammo.]] Predictably, it doesn't end well for him.
115* ItemGet: Florien plays it straight, but then [=Awe921=] parodies it as each bullet Awe shoots at Florien triggering the 'item get' message.
116* KarmaHoudini: Despite being exposed by MP, Sylvi ultimately gets away with cheating at ''VideoGame/Centipede1998'' speedruns because she's so popular that her fanbase doesn't actually care. This was a reference to the then-recent accusations against LetsPlay/{{Dream}} of cheating in his ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' 1.16 speedrun, which had a similar outcome of not particularly diminishing his popularity.
117* KilledOffForReal:
118** In [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=61#comment-1514 this post]], Foreman uses a genie’s last wish to permanently destroy EVIL Foreman (as they wanted to retire the character).
119** In [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=65#comment-1607 this post]], Dhiruxide decided to retire from the game, so he gets incinerated by a lightning bolt after taking the pizza from Tory.
120** In [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=79#comment-1957 this post]], Foreman themself apologizes for vandalizing this work page and dies because he's unworthy.
121* KilledOffscreen: A [[Podcast/TheMagnusArchives NotThem]] posing as [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8NknAFiyhOUaZqHR3lq3Q QuackityHQ]] splits the pizza between [[@/JKBenbot Benbot]] and [[@/SomeLibre Libre]]. Given that a [=NotThem=] was previously used by an individual identified as Quackity to get Sylvi to surrender the pizza and the creature's capability of [[KillAndReplace killing and taking place of an individual (even retconning the users existence out)]], it's implied that he got killed by said [=NotThem=].
122* KillerGameMaster: [=Awe921=] assumes the role of DM so he can impose ludicrous circumstantial penalties on his rivals or just [[RocksFallEveryoneDies kill them outright with falling rocks]].
123* KillSat:
124** [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=93#comment-2319 Libre hijacks]] the Website/SCPFoundation's [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-5001 High-Energy Concentration Orbital Railgun (HECOR)]] to stop MP from reaching the ISS whilst taking the pizza from him via kinetic bombardment (tungsten rods).
125** Libre blows up [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-3721 SCP-3721-1]], causing SCP-3721-2 to go beserk and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=93#comment-2324 kinetically bombard the world,]] destablising the economy that had previously been ruined by MP, then fixed by the Florie/ans.
126* KillerYoYo: On page 176, coemedypink uses a yo-yo to knock [=LucasdaKool=] out. It has become coemedypink's main weapon since then.
127* MacGuffinMelee: The pizza changes owners every post as the Tropers figure out ways to get it for themselves.
128* MacheteMayhem: Superjohn has killed several people using a Machete during October. One wonders if he's referencing any media.
129* MadeOfIndestructium: The pizza. All the ways the tropers kill each other, no matter how destructive, usually leave it intact. On rare occasions, however, someone gets/has to get a new pizza or needs to remove the grime on the existing one.
130* MagicalGirlWarrior: [=TomoeHawk=]. Her [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=126#comment-3148 entire reveal]] makes it comically clear - flamboyant pose, dramatic entrance, providing the reason for [=JKBenbot=]'s eradication...
131* MeleeATrois: Exaggerated. Literally ''everyone'' is against each other, and anyone will hurt anyone else to get the pizza. Subverted with Bluethorn, [=DrNoPuma=], and [=TropesForever=], who eventually formed their own alliance when it came time for them to post after each other.[[note]]This is because their players are such close friends that they didn't want to hurt each other even in a fictional setting.[[/note]]
132* MesACrowd: [=NineTailedCat=] has multiple labs for cloning himself, both to help in his pizza-stealing schemes and to take his place when he gets killed.
133* MissingStepsPlan: EVIL Foreman's EVIL plan: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=56#1393 Step 1, crash stock market; step 2, ?; step 3, destroy pizza.]]
134* TheMole: It's revealed that [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton and Chica]] are these to the Grand Masters of Pizza. They promptly throw MP and the other Grand Masters out of Black Heart's airlock, and take the pizza for themselves.
135* MoonRabbit: They appear [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=28#comment-679 when West]] snatches the pizza from jaketroper, but they are all sucked by Wm in an [[WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit Anti-Pesto outfit]].
136* MultilayerFacade: Wm's constant use of disguises has led some other tropers to disguise themselves as him disguised as other people. This, in turn, leads him to disguise himself as those tropers in their disguises, which then gets copied by other people disguised as him, and so on.
137* NamedLikeMyName: Dream of @/TempestSystem happens to share a name with [[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} a certain YouTuber]] famous for playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', and so the narration reflexively refers to her as "Dream (not that one)".
138* NearVillainVictory: After Dvorak successfully executes his scheme to ressurrect a dead god to get The Pizza, he is actually able to eat it, and can get it from anywhere in the multiverse at a snap of his (patron's) fingers. He decides that VictoryIsBoring about one slice in, and even The Pizza itself is no longer satisfying if he can just have it whenever he wants. His patron reveals that's what it had been trying to teach Dvorak since he became a supervillain, and sent the pizza along to another player
139* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: On Page 121, Janky Kong sends PETA after Matthew after the latter murders a fennec fox. Two pages later, after Matthew is revealed to be the owner of a dog pound, Janky uses the exact same plan a second time. However, the first time, he fails to escape after being shot by Blank, while the second time, he gets blindsided by Superjohn, who had disguised themselves as one of PETA's members.
140* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The tropers are constantly using new powers that don't have to be established beforehand. Enforced because the focus is maybe 1% on telling a structured story, and 99% on causing hilarious mayhem.
141* NoDialogueEpisode: Inverted in the form of a ''dialogue-only'' episode in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=93#comment-2310 page 93]], where Libre steals Sean's dynamite, throws it back ignited, and steals the pizza post-explosion. MP lampshades the [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment out-of-place nature]] of the scene by [[ThrowTheDogABone giving Libre]] a slice of pizza to eat, before shooting him.
142-->'''MP:''' Sorry, newbie. It's just business.
143* NoFourthWall: Palindromee operates on this, exploiting the forum-based nature of the game in order to perform extranarrative actions to get the pizza. [[EpicFail It fails catastrophically, permanently removing hir from existence after just two posts]].
144* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: EVIL Foreman's goal is to destroy the pizza so nobody can have it.
145* NotMyDriver:
146** Superjohn, being fond of hiring getaway vehicles, often finds them hijacked by someone else making their own attempt at getting that pizza.
147** Dream @/{{Tempest|System}} has a fondness for hijacking vehicles to get that pizza. In one instance, she steals a vehicle for no reason whatsoever, and admits that she might just be "addicted to stealing cars". She eventually turns it into a SemanticSuperpower, allowing her to hijack and drive completely arbitrary things, up to and including ''houses''.
148* OddJobGods: Vyoj becomes The Devine Of Unhealthy Yet Tasty Food And Drink in page 82 by accidentally passing a SecretTestOfCharacter in a drunken stupor. Using this power, he conjures the pizza and enhances the taste of it using magic.
149* OffscreenTeleportation: Since the narrative is focused on pizza acquisition, players can just spawn in where they want to be instead of having to get there.
150* OmnicidalManiac: Alicorn Gaia usually ends up trying to make use of the [[ArtifactOfDoom pizza]] to [[ApocalypseHow destroy all realities]], with the goal being at least a [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 Class X-4]], giving the pizza to [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] who would then cause a [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX5 Class X-5]] with the pizza[[note]]because said pizza holds the Anti-Life Equation[[/note]], or even unleashing a [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ Z2]] or even Z3. Thankfully, [[StatusQuoIsGod it never gets to succeed]]. Not that it stops him from trying.
151* OneHitKill: Enforced. Each player must do something to take the pizza from its current owner within one post. This often necessitates killing the pizza's owner in one move, if you opt to use violence in the first place.
152* OneShotCharacter: Palindromee was present for precisely two posts, and hir only actions were to [[NoFourthWall violate the laws of narrative causality]] to retrieve the pizza as a device, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard shoot hirself in the foot]] by violating the timeline via misuse of the fourth-wall abilities, and disappear in a PuffOfLogic.
153* OneSteveLimit: MP has introduced [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys William Afton]] into the Pizzaverse. One of the game's regular players is ''William'' Radar Storm. The latter William has occasionally made posts where he tries to take advantage of the limit being violated.
154* OnlyInFlorida: Obviously, thanks to the actions of the others, Florida winds up being weirder than usual - [[https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-man-arrested-after-pouring-ketchup-on-sleeping-girlfriend-report and]] [[https://kfiam640.iheart.com/content/2019-08-08-florida-man-holds-furniture-delivery-crew-at-gunpoint-after-arriving-late/ that's]] [[https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-city-issues-summons-for-7-year-old-parking-violation saying]] [[https://time.com/2811079/man-arrested-for-throwing-cheeseburger-at-pregnant-woman/ something.]]
155* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Some players, particularly those with longer usernames, will shorten their names to something catchier and less verbose. William Radar Storm, for example, always shortens his name to "Wm".
156* OpportunisticBastard: On Page 129, Janky Kong witnesses [=NineTailedCat=] tripping over a tripwire, but had no involvement in the tripwire being placed. He uses it as an opportunity to steal the pizza regardless.
157* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Sylvi has several {{Alternate Sel|f}}ves, and they all feel an inexplicable deep-seated irritation at each other. Sylvis encountering each other, in any context, is a surefire recipe for violence.
158* PointOfDivergence: Downplayed. [=R3Ked=] uses the abilities of Super Mario 3D All-Stars to use [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine FLUDD]] near the top of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=88 page 88]]. On the next post, [=PurpleEyedGuma=] fast-forwards time to April 1st, 2021 to make FLUDD disappear, catching [=R3Ked=] off-guard. Two posts later, time rewinds back to when FLUDD disappeared. However, this time FLUDD doesn't dissapear, leaving [=R3Ked=] not off-guard and letting him keep the pizza.
159* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Whosoever bears the Sigil of Economy also runs the US Government. This is simply incidental to GETTING THAT PIZZA, often by sending federal agents or declaring it government property.
160* PreventTheWar: Someone once ''nuked France'' in order to get the pizza. President Dvorak let them nuke Wisconsin as an apology, then planned to smooth things over with a pizza party. Of course, it kept getting pilfered by the other players.
161* PuffOfLogic: How the short-lived player Palindromee met hir end. Ze attempted to [[NoFourthWall retrieve the pizza from the very beginning of the thread]] before the fight even began, which evidently upset the PowersThatBe and laws of causality enough to utterly remove hir from existence.
162* PutOnABus: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=66#comment-1642 Partway down page 66]], longtime player Dvorak announced his departure from the game. Wm, Ninetails and Superjohn saw him off by setting their respective posts at a going away party for him.
163* ReferenceOverdosed: The tropers will frequently use weapons or items from various works of fiction, or enlist various fictional characters to help them get the pizza. The pizza is also implied to come from [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Foodcourtia]], explaining why literally everyone is willing to do such dark and depraved stuff to get it.
164* RefugeeFromTVLand: MP turns ''every single piece of fiction'' into this in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=94#comment-2336 page 94]], which includes all of the Vtuber characters after Libre destroyed the whole industry via doxxing. One effect of this is two of Tropers/{{NineTailedCat}}'s characters ([[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15954295690A25286500 Silvia Ceniza]] and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15459605320A39832500 Bright Eyes]]) [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=94#comment-2338 stealing the pizza from madface7]] and betraying their creator afterwards.
165%%* ResurrectionDeathLoop: [=Risdio51=] puts [=MadameButterflyKnife=] while in his Lich form.
166%%* {{Retraux}}: The logo's aesthetic is inspired by ZX Spectrum graphics, with the characters having a single color.
167* RepulsiveRingmaster: Page 130 reveals Janky Kong to be the ringmaster of a CircusOfFear where he forces vjol (who was a cat at the time) to perform dangerous stunts in front of a live audience, then refuses to give the pizza back.
168* ResetButton: Janky Kong ''attempts'' to do this on Page 106, but things very quickly escalate back to how they were before. It's very possible that the other players all have RippleEffectProofMemory.
169* RetGone: Sylvi has a "psycho banhammer" (so named because it was first used on @/PsychoBan) from outside space and time that can be used to erase people from the timeline. She does ''not'' have RippleEffectProofMemory, so she's always very confused after using it.
170* RocketTagGameplay: Anyone can easily take the pizza from the previous poster, often injuring or killing them in the process, but there's nothing to protect them from whatever the next poster might do in turn.
171* RunningGag:
172** Wm's main shtick is his constantly-changing disguises.
173** Florien's thefts of the pizza from Superjohn frequently involve hitting Superjohn with a vehicle in some way.
174** Superjohn will call for a taxi, only to either get captured or killed by a player driving the Taxi.
175** Moon being flattened by a pile of stuff every time she does so much as to set foot in Florida.
176* RunningGagged: After wielding the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Phantom Ruby]] for nearly all of his posts, Guma destroys it in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=70#comment-1743 this post]], which states that they are “finally satisfied with themself”. However, he later gets replacements in the form of the Phantom Ruby 2 and the Ruby wielded by his alternate-dimension counterpart.
177* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Foreman's shtick. To wit, he so far has bought this entire site, Apple, and of course, the pizza. It takes not just 3 different financial collapses, but the destruction of Earth to take it away from him, and even then he went back to buy the SCP foundation.
178* SerialEscalation: Played with. While tropers can steal the pizza in any way at any time, meaning less impressive ways can still be used as the thread goes on, it's only natural that the tropers would come up with more complex ways as the thread goes on. Lampshaded by Awe, after Bluethorn accidentally causes a ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 apocalypse.
179-->"[=Awe921=] looks back at the first page and reminisces about the days when the worst thing that happened to him was merely a bullet."
180%%* SewerGator: Superjohn uses one in order to take the pizza from a player.
181* SdrawkcabName: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=60#comment-1490 In this post]], Superjohn takes the pizza to an alternate universe where ''everyone'' has this. Several tropers afterwards take this detail and run with it.
182* ShutUpKirk: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=91#comment-2260 On page 91]], part of Yayakuza's soul takes the pizza, gives a speech on why chasing it is pointless, and drops it, hoping to end the pizza war. On the very next post, madface7 picks it up, with the pizza unaffected, then the fight continues.
183-->'''madface7:''' no fuck you that's not gonna happen. My predecessor tried that and it didnt work, at all.
184* SilenceIsGolden: The thread has very little if any dialogue. This helps keep the story simple and the pace fast. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=93#comment-2310 Libre's first post]] ends up violating this, which is responded by MP with a [[ThrowTheDogABone slice of pizza because of Libre being a newcomer]] at the time.
185* SpellBook: Melecie has one, the Crystal's Mystia, which has various magical spells and powers copied on it including part of the Sigil of Economics, as well as a unique spell allowing him to summon illusion-like beings from his mind whether real or fictional. These beings are known as Memories.
186* SpoofAesop: According to Sylvi, "everyone knows" that the moral of ''VideoGame/{{Celeste}}'' is that being plural gives you a triple jump. Which she uses to steal the pizza from Matthew after Benbot brings the fight to Celeste Mountain.
187* SpotTheImposter: Florien and Nine Tailed Cat had the same avatars at one point. Nine Tailed Cat used this to create a spot the imposter situation, which got Florien shot in the leg by Florian while Nine Tailed Cat escaped with the Pizza.
188* SuperWheelchair: Fuzzy has his legs cut off in page 97 and gets the super-powered [=McWheelchair=] in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=99#comment-2455 page 99]].
189%%* TimeCrash: This is what happens to Wm's initial posts if they're ninja'd.
190* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Exaggerated. Everyone wants this one particular pizza so much that they do (often) gratuitously violent things to get it.
191* TrapMaster: While Puma initially used whatever tactics he could think of to get the pizza, as the thread went on, [[DivergentCharacterEvolution he began to gain his own shtick]] of using cartoonish traps, like explosives, banana peels, and a giant catapult.
192* TheUndead: A couple of players come back as ghosts or zombies to chase the pizza from beyond the grave.
193* ThrowTheDogABone: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=93#comment-2311 MP gives Libre a slice of pizza to eat before shooting him]] after the latter violates the SilenceIsGolden rule, [[JustifiedTrope due to him being a newcomer.]]
194* TooHungryToBePolite: Exaggerated. Tomoe literally kills [=JKBenbot=] because she is that enraged by her hunger, "starving to death on her job and angry about it" she exclaims.
195* UnexplainedRecovery: Even despite all the wacky ways the other tropers kill each other to get the pizza, they usually reappear just fine and in time to take the pizza. Although, some players choose to adopt new forms, such as ghosts or frogs.
196->'''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=91#comment-2263 Wm]]''': I mean seriously, my legs were blown off a page ago, and now I can walk again?
197* UnrealisticBlackhole: Appears in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=22#comment-533 page 22]]. An unstable wormhole created by [=PointMaid=] turns into one on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15722191200A41285800&page=26#comment-627 page 26]].
198%%* VisualPun: The less prominent [=RPers=] were placed to the side of the old logo. [[spoiler: They're '''side''' characters.]]
199* WaveMotionGun: [=Risdio51=] uses his SUPER LASER PISS to cut Foodcourtia in half, and, later, the moon.
