Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again.

Well, my ban is still active, which means I can't do anything.

~MacronNotes

I did my best to improve them, and the one trope I missed, Sniper Rifle.

• Car Fu: There are always 3-4 cars and a couple of motorcycles present on the map, so you can very well ram players over with them, though it'd take a few tries, and gives you an obvious blind spot. And because the map is pretty small, driving into a Red Zone is still an issue. On account of their size, bikes aren't nearly as damaging or easy to hit someone with.

• Lethal Joke Weapon: Fists are obviously the weakest way to attack with, so you wouldn't expect a "Knuckles" weapon to be significantly stronger, let alone doing more damage than a submachine gun bullet. Moreover, its loadtime is nigh-nonexistent. That is assuming you can get close enough to someone to use it.

• More Dakka: The LMG, which pumps out 11 bullets per second. To avoid making it a Game-Breaker, it's bullet count is pretty low. SMG is almost as fast when used, but has even less bullets.

• Sniper Rifle: Two varieties. The Hunting Rifle and Bolt-Action Sniper.

• Universal Ammunition: The ammo packs will resupply whatever ranged weapon you hold in your hand. Doesn't matter if it's a revolver, a shotgun, an LMG or even a crossbow. They even provide a fixed amount of ammo that depends on the weapon you possess.

Hello I have taken time and have recognized my biases. I will not take to anything political and I will explain my edits without any editing wars. It would be much appreciated if I was let on again.

~Macron Notes: Understood

@Macron Notes: I have read the Edit War page. If a work is deleted by one person and a different person adds another version of that work and they delete it a third time, it would be called for suspension.

~crazysamaritan. Honestly I don't even remember why I indented the list like that now, because I usually don't (after being corrected years back). I think I saw a couple other indexes or disambiguation pages that did indenting like that and got confused. Reading over the indenting example page I can see that just bullet-pointing tropes in alphabetical order one after the other appears to the accepted way, though this is inconsistent across the site. I would be happy to fix my indentation mistake on that one page and on others if my suspension was lifted. In regards to Word Cruft or overly-long examples, I have been working on making examples more concise; to the best of my knowledge I haven't received any complaints or messages about this for two years.

~Crazy Samaritan How's this? I worked a bit on Kostaltyn's section as well.

Edit: Snipped a sentence that, on second thought, wasn't necessary.

• Tier Induced Scrappy:
  • Kostaltyn. The campaign requires the faction leader to have a single strong army to enter the Realm of Chaos and fight the survival battles, but Kostaltyn's bonuses apply to lower-tier units and favor recruiting large numbers of weaker armies. Additionally he starts out in Castle Alexandronov in Troll Country, which is right at the end of the 'Norscan Highway' that every Norscan faction and three of the five Daemon factions use to invade, quickly putting him on the defensive and keeping him there for a long time. Compared to other Kislevite leaders who have the same roster, better faction buffs, and a buffer between them and Norsca, he struggles to keep up. While considered average in PvP the other two Kislevite Lords are still more popular due to a Patriarch being capable of doing most of what players would want from Kostaltyn.
  • Nurgle is generally seen as the game's weakest faction. Nurgle buildings operate on a cycle once built, automatically evolving through phases that have different bonuses, then resetting. This means important stats like corruption spread, income, and control can fluctuate significantly, complicating their infrastructure development. Army-wise they are a force that is all anvil and no hammer; their units are durable, their debuffs are strong, and their healing is exceptional, but they're slow, lack killing power, and can't counter ranged units effectively. On the mechanics end they get Plagues which they can customize to have various effects but most of these effects have to be unlocked through research and by spreading weaker plagues, something no other plague-using faction has to go through. Nurgle plagues are also shorter-lived than others by default and have a hidden hard cap on the number of times they can spread, limiting how far their plagues can reach.

Hi I love to edit tropes on this wonderful site. I realized my mistake in editing certain tropes (flamebait, ect) and it was very wrong of me to do so. I take full responsibility for my mistakes and I apologize. I will learn the rules. I love to edit. How long am I suspended and how do I rectify my mistake?

I sincerely apologize. If it isn't too much to ask, what were my previous offenses?

Hey guys. It took some time for me, but I'm sincerely apologize for these... incidents. Maybe I should start proposing only fanfic villains.

Can't wait until my editing suspension is over.

Five days ago I edited the wiki. Today I tried to do that again. I'm assuming I cannot because of something I've done longer than five days ago. Am I wrong? If anyone wants to let me know what it is we can discuss it.

@Synchronicity

Thirty days ago, I said I would dedicate myself to fully understanding the rules of the site, particularly the off-topic conversation threads and crowner etiquette, lack of regard for which were the causes of my suspensions. I understand, too, that this is my final chance to demonstrate my knowledge of the how these rules on TV Tropes work, and as any further misbehavior on my part will result in a permanent ban. I've made good use of those thirty days to read up on the rules, and now I'm much more familiar with them.

While I've done everything I was asked to do during these past thirty days, I also have a much better understanding of how and why the things I did were wrong. And once again— I can't say this enough— I'm sorry for it.

~MacronNotes

I put them in the proper layout and trimmed them down to be more readable. I tried to make it entertaining, as TV Tropes makes a point about being funny, but I worried adding too many jokes in an edit was pushing it.

• Car Fu: There are always 3 or 4 cars and a couple of motorcycles on the map, so you can just forego any attempts at shooting and just turn players into roadkill, though it has drawbacks, as it'd take a few tries to kill an enemy unless you have them cornered, and it gives you an obvious blind spot if your enemy is armed and you have to make a slow turn. Red Zones on a rather small map are also an issue. On account of their size, bikes aren't nearly as damaging or easy to hit someone with, though they can fit better in smaller areas.

• Lethal Joke Weapon: Fists are obviously the weakest way to attack with, so you wouldn't expect the "Knuckles" to be significantly stronger, let alone doing more damage than a bullet from an assault rifle or submachine gun . For obvious reasons, its loadtime is nigh-nonexistent at a quick 0.3 seconds, making it a really effective weapon. Assuming you can get close enough to someone to use it.

• More Dakka
  • The LMG, which pumps out 11 bullets per second. To avoid making it a Game-Breaker, it's bullet count is pretty low, not to mention it slows you down.
  • The SMG is almost as fast when used, but has even less bullets, a mere 30, and it has a very large spread.

• Sniper Rifle
  • Hunting Rifle does 800 damage and reloads in under a second.
  • The Bolt-Action Sniper does 990 and takes 1.2 seconds to reload.

• Universal Ammunition: The ammo packs will resupply whatever ranged weapon you hold in your hand. Doesn't matter if it's gun, launcher, or even a crossbow. They even provide a fixed amount of ammo that depends on the weapon you possess. Naturally, you can't pick them up if you don't have a ranged weapon.

Sky here, temporarily interrupting my hiatus to appeal my suspension.

Over the past few days, I have done some thinking about the "politically incorrect" edit reasons and posts where I wished violence on child predators and other sexual abusers.

The truth is, I recognize that what I said was well beyond the boundaries of socially acceptable behaviour, especially when you consider some of those statements are considered death threats, even though I have no actual intention of carrying those threats out.

In the process of venting my hatred of sexual predators, I have made comments to the effect of wanting child pornographers to die on camera; showing a lack of empathy for predators who suffer abuse in prison; wanting misogynists to have their sexual autonomy taken away as they wish to do to others.

While I admit I still struggle with a strong antipathy towards said predators, I recognize that by expressing my sentiments out loud/online, I am sinking to their level.

While I was distraught by the prospect of such a prolific and vile sexual predator as Ian Watkins being paroled at all, I recognize that my own behaviour was uncivil, uncouth, unprofessional, and inexcusable.

These are not choices I intend to repeat.

I hope that I can have my editing/posting privileges restored, and I recognize this is likely my last chance if I am released.

I also recognize that I sometimes interject in fora where my input isn't necessary, and I have been working on that. I intend to avoid such behaviour from now on, as well.

I have also tried to make a concerted effort to maintain civil discourse in the fora in general.

Additionally, I recognize that my bias against Justin Trudeau has clouded my judgement at least once, and it is a mistake I have no intention of repeating.

If my release is not an option, I would just like to say that being a member of this site for the past 3 or so years has been an honour and a privilege.

Edit: I am offline tomorrow, just FYI, so I'll respond when I get back online.

I gave it some thought and I think I got something.

While I admittedly can't exactly give a straight answer regarding the first question, I can give my thoughts regarding the second:

• Amoral Attorney - Hank is like this at the start of the movie. He remarks he respects the law just fine, but he isn't "in awe of it" or "encumbered by it," plus "Innocent people can't afford me."
  • The bolded statement needs to be expanded upon. Perhaps one could be somewhat more specific as to "he isn't in the awe of it or encumbered by it".

• Jerkass Has a Point - Like Hank says at the beginning of the movie, it's not his fault when a prosecutor can't find evidence to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • I can't really identify what is wrong with this but this sentence appears to be pretty solid.

• Daddy's Girl - Hank's daughter Lauren.
  • The two previous statements explained why said character can be considered an "amoral attorney" or a "jerkass who has a point". This one is too short and isn't very specific.

• A Date With Rosie Palms: Played for Laughs - Sam hits on Hank, but then chastises him for thinking she wanted anything more than a one-night stand and claims that she will instead go home to enact the trope.
  • "enact the trope" requires fixing. Don't know much about this trope, but it makes the sentence tonally inconsistent and it doesn't detail what the trope is unlike previous ones.

• Trailers Always Lie - The movie was promoted as a suspense thriller. However, it's just a Slice of Life film about a man returning home and dealing with unresolved issues with family and a love interest. Some critics took it personally.
  • "about a man returning home". His name?

  • "dealing with unresolved issues with family and a love interest". The love interest's name?

  • "some critic took it personally". What did they say about it?
