We got a couple threads wrapping up, so opened.
I'm thinking we can salvage the info in the description for a Useful Note on silent films. Of course, we can cut this page after.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThis strikes me as (1) not a trope but a useful notes page, and (2) really badly named. So I suggest to move to useful notes and rename.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!Merge into The Silent Age of Hollywood? Or its own thing?
That can work.

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI think it would make more sense to move this to Useful Notes.
There is clearly a trope here (though not worked out well). When reproducing "old movie" footage, cranking up the speed makes it more realistic. Similar to Monochrome Past but with pacing. It may be Too Rare to Trope though. Something for the yard maybe.
For now, I'd say it can be merged with the Useful Notes page. Probably not distinct enough for its own page.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)As written this definitely doesn't feel like a trope, it does feel like a Useful Note, and I do generally think the info can just be folded into the main Silent Films UN page. As for making an actual trope of the concept here...I'm unsure it'll work, but we can yard it either way.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI didn't consider merging with The Silent Age of Hollywood, but I agree with that idea.
You can't always get what you want.Hmm... do we have any other pages discussing framerate?
Undercrank lists it as a subtrope, but that doesn’t seem right.There is also the opposite Overcrank.

I'll start a crowner to see who's on board.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportIt's been almost a week, and the crowner is currently at a 6:1 ratio in favor of merging The Speed Of Silents with UsefulNotes.The Silent Age Of Hollywood. Fairly certain that it's ready to call.

Y'ALL JUST GOT SHREKTCalling in favor of merging. Time to move any relevant info over.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportOkay, copied contents into the Useful Note (even added sections!), so time to clear the wicks.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI wonder if the deliberate use of this in media might be tropeworthy, along with tropes about framerate in general.
Okay, everything's done, and wicks are dealt with. Time to close.

Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.
Has existed since 2010, but there are only 6 wicks. That means Starving on Wick, so it's not performing well enough. I vote cut.
