May I get Alice Allusion? ;) I shouldn't even have to explain why, but come on, my previous forum avatar and my current twitter icon is even the trope page image!

It could even be underlined by this line by Qara:
Human wizard named Alice? You've gotta be named Alice. You're ALWAYS named Alice... right?

Done, Pix. :P
Why should we do the right thing?
-Well... because it's the right thing to do, there's no other good reason.

Am I a bad guy trying to be good, or a good guy trying to convince himself that he's not the bad guy?

I'd like Affably Evil, to go with my whole "working with the Cabal" shtick.
Apparently, slightly less weird than most of you.

Again again again, some twin thingy for eli and I? I believe she said Twin Telepathy.
If you can make it better, don't make it sentient.

Well, U'd say I'm pretty damn close to the Cabal, so....

I gave Genndy that. Done.

And Erik a weapon of choice trope. See his second echo for proof.

Guys, This is not a suggestion for myself.
But it is not something that is ARG stuff, or Forum stuff either. It's about us as a group.

Why do I not see Fire-Forged Friends anywhere in there? Just look at us, at how far we've come. He have fought each other a few times, we disagree on a thread-by-thread basis. Yet we're all here, together. As friends, about to face our biggest challenge. If that trope is not fit for us, I don't know what is.

I would add it myself, but I'm not sure where, which is why I'm asking everyone. ;)

I think it would work just fine in the main thread for the forum. I am also tempted to add True Companions.

Because no one seemed to care first time around: Here's my trope suggestion here for copying and pasting.

Guys:

I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL FOCUSED FROM CTHULHU NOW.

BUT THIS WILL ALL COME TO AN END SOON.

SO SOMEONE UPDATE THE GODDAMN SHEET AND GIVE US THE TROPES WE NEED.

ALSO POST YOUR CURRENT PROFILE PICTURES ON THERE SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT PROUDLY WHEN THIS IS OVER.

GIVE PAN A PICTURE TOO.
FIRE!

For reasons that I hope are obvious, I think "The Storyteller" trope would be an apt addition to my entry on the character page.

I humbly request to be added. As for tropes, I can tell you I had a "My God What Have I Done?" moment after writing my C-Fic. (And I again reiterate I want someone whose fic is less brutal to win, please.)
