Seems to make it easier that way to be honest, that way one or two people don't have to remember EVERYONE.


I would like us to stray away from updating the metaguards and start working on the actual characters, though.

Yea. I've been slipping in a trope from time to time. I'm kinda distracted by IRL stuff and this whole Cabal thing ATM though.
Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."

It's not fair to self-promote. But if you add your name, whoever goes there to edit might just remember to add a trope or two to you. ;)

Honestly, I think that only Players with a large influence on the ARG will have some tropes added by others, because they get noticed more easily on the forums.

Also I was wondering, could we maybe arrange the players in alphabetic order?

Alphabetic order is good. Wonder why wasn't done yet.

The other is kind of the point. We already have 100+ guys here. We're NOT adding everyone. By the end of the ARG if your entry is name only, you're gone from the page. Only the most notable members, as in, deemed worthy of a mention by everyone else will manage to stay on the page. Hence the rule of selection being Wiki Magic. :D
I'm still wondering why no one gave me any tropes... But it's not like I can ask for them either. So... I'll just be sad in my little corner over here... On the other hand, I have a QUOTE! BANZAI!!!

I would like to direct you guys to the comment I made here earlier as well as in the actual thread for this, we should spend our time right now on the real characters and info on the page for new players/those interested. We can't neglect them. We can continue to edit Metaguards as well, just don't forget the other stuff.

Yeah, I am too. I'm delighted with what others have given as tropes, but I'm pitiful compared to Sicon and Adell's. I don't even have a quote, but maybe I just haven't said anything worthwhile enough *shrug*
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

I have a couple tropes in mind for me, but no self-promoting.

Hello people. Look at the WallWillFall character page. Now look at me, now back to the WallWillFall character page. Sadly, the Player section has not been alphabeticized. But if you refresh it, it could look like it's been alphabeticized. I'm on a horse.

And about that, I've heard that we're not supposed to add tropes that were already present in the original characters. In my opinion, this does not leave us with much tropes to add.

I put my description there. Here it is:

"A troper and TF 2 Fan who used to be clueless and a bit of a pain in the ass at first, but as he found out more, he became more useful and was responsible for caching the fictionalthreat site when no one could access it, so the tropers could see what it was."

Is it OK?

It's good. the "pain in the ass" bit feels a bit like you're criticizing yourself too much but if you're fine with that then it's OK.

Now you're making it sound like we think you are a pain in the ass xD. Maybe you should write it in first person :geek:

A Troper that writes a description in the first person is a pain in the ass. I had to say that.

To Adell: Don't worry, we're woking on the characters too. WWP himself put up the character images, all is well. :lol:

Fair enough... But still, don't you think it looks a little weird :?

It sure does.
Proposal: remove the "and a pain in the ass" and "so[+]." at the end. Pretty solid. The clueless is also kind of weird, but not so balant. The not at the end is kind of redundant, so it can be safely removed.

You have no idea how tempting it is to switch out the quote on the page with this one.

I think someone is a little too excited. And now you have two quotes.

I'm not sure what etiquette is appropriate here. Do I glomp you back? Is there a formal way to accept a glomp? I don't know what to do. This is just like that time that an old French woman kissed me on the cheeks.

Fear not, I am neither old nor French not that there's anything wrong with being French but I never really got the kissing thing...

And Ideally, a correctly executed glomp should prevent you from moving for a couple of seconds, so you don't have to respond just yet. :)
