Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
You should probably ask in this thread.
PS: Without providing a link to the work this example comes from, there's no way for us to tell if it's even valid. From the way it's worded, I'd go for Faux Affably Evil, since the bully (what's his name again?) still beats up Max.
Edited by RoundRobin - Fly, robin, fly! - ...I'm trying!
Is it clear from the last sentence what it's describing? What happened is that Johnny (the bully) extorted Max for fifty cents, but Max only had a whole dollar, so Johnny gave him change.
