11 | ''You At Final Boss'' is a Roleplay/RollToDodge game on the Roleplay/{{Bay 12|PlayByPostGames}} forums. It is considered to be the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative largest, longest-running minimalist Roll to Dodge in history.]] |
12 | |
13 | As the page quote indicates, the "plot" was originally that the players were trying to slay an evil lich in a tower. Since then, it has... ''slightly'' [[OffTheRails derailed]]. Now, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after many changes of arena, boss, and players,]] it is a struggle between [[GenderBender the lichette]] [[InterspeciesRomance and her husband Dirg]]; [[TheEmpire a massive interstellar empire lead by misko27]]; [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} Aperture Science]], led by "Pragmatic Good" OnlySaneMan mecha-dragon [=GreatWyrmGold=] and located on a spaceship; [[TestosteronePoisoning the Manly Men]], led by [[HeelFaceTurn former]] [[OmnicidalManiac attempted omnicidalist Xantalos]]; [[TheAlcoholic The Drunken Fools]], led by Yoink; [[FluffyTheTerrible Tim]]; and many others, [[DoubleAgent including "members" of the aforementioned sides]]. |

17 | ---- |
18 | !!''You At Final Boss'' contains examples of: |
19 | |
20 | %%* AboveGoodAndEvil: misko27 claims to be this. |
21 | %%* AbsoluteXenophobe: misko27 |
22 | * BadBoss: [[EvilOverlord misko27]] threatened [=GreatWyrmGold=] repeatedly for his questioning of the former's orders and arguments with Xantalos. |
23 | %%* BeleagueredAssistant: [[OnlySaneEmployee GreatWyrmGold]] saw himself as this while working with misko27. |
24 | %%* BigBad: Originally the lich. |
25 | %%* BossBanter: Also banter from...well, just about everyone. |
26 | %%* BossBattle: Originally. [[OffTheRails Not so anymore.]] |
27 | %%* BossGame: Originally. Now there's a lot of enemies to choose from, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder mostly other players]]. |
28 | %%* CardCarryingVillain: Xantalos, misko27, and a few others. |
29 | %%* TheChessmaster: |
30 | %%** misko27 attempted to be this. The dice had other ideas. |
31 | %%** As did [=GreatWyrmGold=], Corai, Xantalos, pretty much everyone else... |
32 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Most people, to some extent. [=GreatWyrmGold=] has been accused of this to a great extent, due to not really fitting in with either of the two main factions. Currently, he is leaning more towards the Romantics. |
33 | %%* CloudCuckooLander: [[CloudCuckooLand Almost everyone.]] |
34 | * ConservationOfCompetence: Either [[StupidEvil misko27]] was a foolish leader leading (among others) [[OnlySaneMan GreatWyrmGold]], or [[EvilOverlord misko27]] was successful in stopping [[CloudCuckooLander Great]][[TheStarscream Wyrm]][[StupidGood Gold]] from attacking him. |
35 | * TheDragon: [[OmnicidalManiac Xantalos]] used to be one for [[EvilOverlord misko27]]. Long before that, Corai was the main (if not sole) minion for the lich, and remarkably effective. |
36 | * DeathIsCheap: Players typically return within a turn. |
37 | * DuelBoss: At one point, Corai and the lich could be seen as this. Currently, the Paladins see [[StarCrossedLovers Dirg and the lichette]] as this. |
38 | * ExactTimeToFailure: Subverted; the countdown didn't do anything when it hit 0.5, and hasn't dropped past that. |
39 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: [[OmnicidalManiac Xantalos]]'s attempts to destroy the universe. |
40 | * FaceHeelTurn: Corai defected to the lich's side early on. Later on, either Dirg or misko27 did as well. |
41 | %%* FinalBoss: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Of course!]] |
42 | * GenderBender: The lich, after many transformations, became a "lichette" and [[InterspeciesRomance married Dirg]]. Corai was later attacked with Rule 63 and turned into the leader of womanly women by Misko. |
43 | %%** Dirg is often accused of this. |
44 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Tim showed up without much explanation beyond, "There are too many factions." |
45 | %%* HeelFaceTurn: Possibly when [=GreatWyrmGold=] formed the [[TakeAThirdOption Moderates]]. |
46 | * LongRunners: For a minimalist Roll to Dodge, at least. Most don't reach 30 pages; You At Final Boss has over ''200'', plus an Out of Character thread of about the same length. |
47 | * LoneWolfBoss: Any faction leader not directly associated with the lich can be seen as this. |
48 | * MarathonBoss: As noted by the Long Runner entry, it's taken a while...and the lich still isn't dead! |
49 | %%* NewBossNewDimension: Played with. New dimensions were entered regularly early on, ranging from Hell to the galactic core to [[Videogame/Portal Aperture Science]] to [[RunningGag a mountain of ice cream]]... |
50 | * OmnicidalManiac: Xantalos, until he gave up, destroyed a VideoGame/{{Spore}} universe, and founded [[TestosteronePoisoning the Manly Men faction]]. |
51 | %%** Also da_nang's Void faction |
52 | * OnlySaneMan: [=GreatWyrmGold=] claims to be this, and while he's a bit crazy himself, [[CloudCuckooLand he may be right]]. |
53 | %%* OnlySaneEmployee: GreatWyrmGold saw himself as the Only Sane Minion while working under misko27. |
54 | * OurLichesAreDifferent: The lich has undergone many transformations, including an orb which was the source of all magic and a "lichette." He also had a blade made of souls of the damned for a while. |
55 | %%* PlayableEpilogue: For a single turn. |
56 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Allegedly the only way to defeat the lich. [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Never confirmed.]] |
57 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Faction leaders get bonuses to ALL rolls. This led to the creation of several factions, which (in turn) lead to [[OhCrap someone with a higher bonus than anyone and a gun]] that [[OneHitKO kills any player in one hit]] ([[DeathIsCheap temporarily]], although [[ContinuingIsPainful with a lowered bonus if a faction leader]]). |
58 | * RunningGag: Early on, ice cream made an appearance in many failed rolls. |
59 | %%* TheStarscream: [[EvilOverlord misko27]] saw GreatWyrmGold to be this. |
60 | %%* ThatOneAttack: Tim's [[OneHitKill gun]] |
61 | * ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: After the epilogue, lampshaded with a PotHole to Website/ThisVeryWiki by Corai. |
62 | --> '''[=GreatWyrmGold=]:''' I still hit my goal. [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Female canine.]] |
63 | %%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Early on, this was common. Later, Spinal_Taper stopped this, to prevent headaches on his part. |
64 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The lich was supposedly weak to teamwork. [[WithFriendsLikeThese This was never confirmed.]] |
65 | * WideOpenSandbox: People have gone off and done crazy things unrelated to fighting the lich or whomever, notably Yoink's drunken escapades. |
