(I'm not sure where this really belongs, so I'm putting it in YF for now. Mods, feel free to move it to Forum Games if you think it fits better there.)
The point of this thread is to list your favorite tropers and say what makes you like them so much. Please be specific; we already have Gushing About Shows You Like if you want to gush about TV Tropes or the Forums in general.
EDIT: Chopped the list because it's now quite outdated, and there are some comments in here that only made sense back in 2009 and may have even been a bit creepy.

Go to Control Panel -> Keyboard and find the thing that lets you change your layout. I forget exactly how to do it.
Edit@Noimporta: Iñdeed it does. Also, a circumflex is thîs thing, right? If so, it does indeed have them.

I guess it is.@Noimporta: yes, yes it does. You can use the tilde as a dead key (~n -> ñ) or just AltGr-n ñ. Also õ and ã.
^ Oh hey. no, that's a caret, I think.

...I actually can't think of anyone who hasn't made some sort of interesting or insightful comments, and I lurk around a fair bit.

Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.Tzetze: I just do that whole avatar == person association thing. And even with your avatar switching, most of them are .hack//SIGN, so I remember you. Hooray!

Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck.Î is a circumflex accent. ^ is a caret.
One is an accent, the other is just a symbol.

I recommend US-International, as Nyktos said. It doesn't have circumflexes, but it has umlauts, accents, graves, various currencies, that German B thing, eth, and thorn, while keeping the punctuation layout. Cutpaste is inefficient.
