The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

the hotel will be cleaned up (as best as possible) and in the morning the residents will return to battle.
Save for Myra and Roze who are still going at it XD

But don't worry, Roze will be contained soon enough ;)

I want to have at least 10 tropes and the summary written down before I actually put it up there.

Ah cool.  And if you wish Serris, since I'm part of the TV Tropes as well, I could help out where I can with the trope page for this one if you want as well.

I mean, I can look for tropes as well, which I do using the search function anyway, read about them a bit before deciding if they're any good to add in or not sort of thing.

I can answer that, a trope is like this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main...keMeWhenImAngry

Yeah, I've figured out what a trope is myself XD

An example is this here: The Darwin's Soldier's trope page
The Darwin's Soldier's trope page

Shows you a list of tropes attatched to the RP ;)

Very nice so far Serris, granted there's not much at the moment, but I know that it will grow XD

I found some examples of post modern magik but I think there much more than the ones I found.

Post modern magik is defined as "It's what you get when you decide that magic shotguns make as much sense as magic swords, and vampires that don't show up in mirrors also don't show up on camera.

Ah okay, if I find any myself, I'll help add to the page.  Already added in the one Cain and Abel one, which I thought does suit Myra and Roze's conflict.

One question I have, a shoutout page would be good too, as I do want to add in at least one myself, but not sure if it should be a seperate page on its one like in the Darwin's Soldier's shoutout page or not, so you think a seperate page would be good for it or not?

Depends on how many shout outs there are.

I already know of one. This scene:

Zachary: Great, into the gates of hell.

Deimos's line: No, we move forward unto dawn; the dawn of a new era.

Zachary's line references the lyrics from Primo Victoria by Sabaton.

Deimos's line references the ship from the Halo universe called Forward Unto Dawn

Hehe yeah, that's true too.  Cause the shoutout I have is Pandora, who I actually based off the mythological figure of the same name, Pandora and the box she was suppose to protect, Pandora's Box.

Also, I do wonder if any of these Boss tropes would be able to add into it either, like the mechanical dragon I'm sure fits under one or two of them there, but not sure which ones you know XD

It may count as a boss, but not the big boss.  In many console games I think there are a number of boss characters you battle before the final big boss.
