They sometimes say, "the place where I am right now was circled on a map for me"... Unfortunately, I kind of suck at orienteering.

*straining to rerail the thread*
I remember someone mentioning a while back that they wanted to add an "everything is always Jack's fault" to my part of the page, but I don't think we ever found a trope for that.

I don't know of a trope to use for that, but I WILL add Ear Worm because of all your music...
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."

I would love some tropes (*wink wink, nudge nudge*).
I just gave myself a description, and the quote from my signature (I don't think I've said anything else catchy... If I have, let me know!).
I directed attention to the relevance of the cake blog.
I might also deserve No Sense of Humour or something like that (even though I do have one), since I generally avoid the off-topicness and ignore the funny stuff (i.e. the hilarity of the cat's chat, the possibilities in recommending the witch stuff) in favour of focussing on the practical application.

Sounds like a forced trope example of Why We Can't Have Nice Things, or the Butt Monkey. Something along those lines.
Was that the brief conversation Isla and I had regarding music in the Soundtrack to an ARG page by any chance? That was mostly because Jack put the Phenomenon sound in my head and I couldn't get it out, so it was his fault, it's not usually really all his fault.

I think The Nicknamer would fit on my section, because I came up with Lance Chevalier and Metaneko.

Sorry
I literally just saw that >.<
I should have checked before. If I think of any trope that fits anyone, I'll be sure to mention it

Off-hand, would my intro to the forum (Specifically my coming in, and asking "I need something to do, what needs doing") count as the Desperately Looking For A Purpose In Life trope? It's the closest I can find, but the "In Life" part really doesn't fit all that well due to this not being life. I mean, it might be an appropriate thing for me in general, but I'm unsure about it in this context.

It's OK, it's 21st century, where people can grow it for you.
Yeah, madskillz, I know. -_-
Awesome!
And maybe we should start a "Pictures of us" thread, so I can show off my real beard!The wall will fall, if they stay; then we'll fight another day.
Never fear, the tropers here will help the written find their way.

Funnily enough, there was a thread here in off topic somewhere that was talking about getting artists to visualise the ARG, but I don't think anything came of it. It'd be VERY hard to get pictures of all of us, and I'm naturally opposed to showing my real face online.

Yeah, that's understandable. My face is already on Facebook and on other pages, so I don't care too much. Plus I can show off the awesome beard I had a few years back.

Adell, enjoy your new trope. Logic Bomb indeed.

Not to self-promote, but I think I should get an OOC is serious business for my attempted handling of Not Your Sayu-chan in the Gulliver thread. Jury's still out on how well it works.
Also I guess fangirl, but that's totally faked (is there a trope for that? pprobably not)
(Anyone who follows this post to there: please, PLEASE play along with how I'm presenting it to her. I think it's the best way to get results, rather than challenging her "reality")

You have deadpan Snarker there now
I kinda wanna put Lordxana down as being Immune to Crazy because the unvierse keeps resetting him to beforehand whenever he tries to drink the green stuff, but I don't think that's because he's actually crazy himself...

Wouldn't that be status quo related?
