*ahem* Large Ham, Brilliant but Lazy, Failure Knight, Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny, Can't Keep Up, Deadpan Snarker, Evil Laugh, Drop-In Character, Troll, Jerkass, Teasing Creator, Nice Guy, "Just Joking" Justification, Asperger's Syndrome, Cluster F-Bomb, Sanity Slippage, The Insomniac...

Whew. That's all I can remember/think of at the moment. Are those okay?


Scarab wrote:Added several of Endless's suggestions and added one more for BlackWolfe.


...Not enough of them, though. Maybe I'll elaborate. (Now edited for relevance!)

Large Ham: He has his moments. Often. Mostly in the chats and the coffee room, but it seeps into his normal posts too.

Brilliant but Lazy: According to him, emphasis on the lazy. This trope is apparently the main reason why he doesn't participate more in the ARG, besides his schoolwork.

Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny/TVTropes Will Ruin Your Life: Spends hours upon hours distracted with randomly browsing the internet rather than doing something productive for the ARG or school. Apparently, this is normal for him.

Can't Keep Up: Took a two-week leave of absence to try and finish some homework in early October. By the end of it, he was both completely unable to follow the ARG (even with the timeline) and even more behind in homework than before.
* Drop-In Character: Resolved himself to browsing the Off-Topic forum and occasionally commenting in the chats as a result.

The Cynic: His first reaction to many new developments tended to be "We're screwed". Notably, called Don Quixote an idiot for trying to remove a bullet he'd been shot with himself, saying he'd probably die from blood loss or disease.

Evil Laugh: Allegedly practiced it for the entirety of high school. It shows up in some of his hammier moments.

Troll: Self-proclaimed; he says he finds driving his fellow Metaguards up a wall highly amusing, although he tries to curb it whenever he crosses too far over the line.

Jerkass: Whenever called out on making an insensitive remark, his reply can usually be summed up thus: "Yeah, funny thing about that- I'm kind of a dick. What, you're just noticing?"

Teasing Creator: He's fond of referencing details or roleplaying characters from stories he's worked on or plans to work on in his comments, but doesn't always give proper context.

Nice Guy: Tries to fit this role whenever he isn't playing up his dickishness a thousandfold.

"Just Joking" Justification: Has cracked more than a few jokes in the forums that ended up being recieved far worse than he'd expected.

Cluster F-Bomb: In his own words, a recovering swearaholic. Showed up more during the later acts of the ARG.

Determinator: Because of his self-professed regret for being such a slacker when it came to the ARG and schoolwork, he decided that nothing would stop him from finishing his Cthulhu fic. When told the deadline had passed during one of his updates in the chatroom, he replied with "THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME" and promptly returned to writing. Cue the entire chat worrying about his mental health until he clarified he was hamming it up as usual... and returned to writing again.

The Insomniac: Not to the degree of, say, Sicon, but his sleep schedule is apparently... erratic. Half of his comments were posted in the middle of the night, long after prior announcements of going to sleep.

Caustic Critic: When a Metaguard asked him to review his Cthulhu fic, he started with an apology, ended with a reminder that his opinion isn't necessarily everyone else's, and absolutely tore the entire fic to bloody shreds in the middle. There were no survivors.

Buffy Speech: Some of his comments include apologies at the end for their awkward wording.

Suggesting some tropes for Adell.

Even The Guys Want Him - chat regulars know this.

No One Could Survive That - Faced down Cthulhu. AND LIVED.

Badass - See above.

There's more, but it's almost 2 am and I'm exhausted.

I put Even The Guys Want Him for Adell a few hours ago. And yeah, he needs some more, though my brain's a little too fuzzy atm to think which.

Also, for people requesting tropes for themselves, keep in mind that this is not your tvtropes user page. Only tropes that you clearly display IN THE ARG should be up for the list.

(Yes you can easily copy them and paste to save time.)

* HeroicBSOD: Suffered a Meta one on the Chat in regards to which Metaguards he would sacrifice in his Cthulhu fic. He eventually got over it.
* InsaneTrollLogic: His reasoning for how he is the personification/avatar of the ARG. (They're both weird, meta and strange.)
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: His accent hardly sounds Australian. In fact some comment that it sounds American or in one case that it sounds like Homestar Runner. (He has a Lebanese background but that hardly factors in)

Since no one noticed ill post this again.

And extra:

* EvilLaugh: Shows off an impressive one in the voice chat.

I thought I did a pretty good job with that. :\

Also, TWWP apparently edited my tropes to include how I troll a lot and piss him off in the process, but didn't actually link the trope to its corresponding page. Can't do anything about it, seeing as it's my own character description, so is someone else willing?

The voice chat is not Canon. It's just a fun thing we do. Tropes associated to it should not go into the character page.
As well as a lot of Coffee Room stuff, as it seems some suggestions consist of nothing BUT coffee room tropes. One or to of the more prominent tropes from there might be ok if it is recognizable enough by everyone even outside the coffee room. But don't keep suggesting those tropes people, it will not be added.

Also, personal stuff, like personality and behavioral traits (such as Jerkass), unless they are really evident, will not be added either. Because they're not really something evident to the ARG.

I don't think that applies. For one thing, I haven't heard anyone actually call you that (we usually use "Pyro"); for another, I'm pretty sure the trope isn't exactly fit for the players in an ARG. Maybe you could put that you occasionally go by TWWP in your character description?

I'd like to suggest "It's pronounced Tro-PAY", as I've heard some people pronouncing my name as "Jen-dee", when it is in actuality pronounced "Gen-dee".
Apparently, slightly less weird than most of you.

I'd like to get confirmation before I add Spell My Name With An S to Sicon -- he says I'm not the only one who thought his name was Scion for a while, but he may have just been being nice.

Also, added It's Pronounced Tro-PAY to Genndy's entry.

I wanna suggest adding Mediator to Scarab, I don't think I need to explain it :P
I also want to add Beware the Quiet Ones to Tohri's page, but I'm not sure it's the right trope. I mean, I remember her being one of the people that always notified us that a blog had updated or something like that when we were too busy with ourselves, also, she befriended Morgan and received the echo we needed to refic Quixote. Also, I think she found an echo too. So, yeah...
Also, can I suggest Facepalmer for myself?
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 to suggest Inspector Javert for my hardline attitude towards the Cabal (and especially Morgan) right up until the day Adell faced Cthulhu.

...Noope, I did it too. Fortunately I got out of the habit before we started communicating in chat.

Added all of them except Inspector Javert to Qara's since she's not around right now to confirm that's okay. (And mine, obviously, because I can't add my own tropes.)

Also on the subject of us both, are there any Musical related tropes for Qara and I? And all the other people who did musical stuffs?

I was never a very musical troper, so I can't really help there... Sorry. If I do wiki walk on that I might come up with something, but I don't really know anything from the top of my head.

Thank you :)

I can't think of any musical ones either, off the top of my head. Qara wrote sooo many songs though XD if there's one that fits it, she should have it.
