Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
One example: a shapeshifting demon frames Humber for a crime he didn't commit--leveling city blocks. Later, Humber casually drops that he has in fact destroyed several city blocks for the hell of it. Humber was framed for a crime he already committed.
This is a bit like "The Safe-Dropping Incident" in General Protection Fault. Trudy drops safes on several of GPF's competitors, but then, in one case, her ex-boyfriend Trent tries to drop a safe on Dwayne in order to frame her for it and expose her responsibility for the other incidents. The rest of the cast is convinced that Trudy isn't responsible for any of them, and Nick and Fooker obtain the evidence necessary to convict Trent. They learn that the evidence only convicts Trent for the attack on Dwayne, and Trudy then destroys the evidence that would have incriminated her. In short, just because a person may have committed a crime doesn't mean that he or she will be held accountable for it, and people interested in making sure that person gets punished may still resort to framing him or her.
