Tropedia

  • 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.

  • Badass Decay: Played straight with The Legion (formerly the largest alliance in CN), but subverted with the NPO, who are still a nastily powerful alliance, even if they mostly keep quiet these days.
  • Broken Base: Between people posting their genuine convictions, people posting whatever would be most politically advantageous for their alliance, genuinely stupid people, and people just trolling, nobody can agree on anything on the forums.
  • Crazy Awesome: Some of the personalities found in the leadership of alliances have to be seen to be believed.
    • In particular, the Prism Protection Front, who has but a single member usually, and is quite comfortable with having up to three(on occasion). The Chairman of this wackiness, Opethian, regularly puts out announcements, propaganda, and even war declarations on the Open World Forum. He's like Emperor Norton, but in pixels.
    • Rebel Virginia is also part of this trope, as detailed under Refuge in Audacity.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: TOLWYN!!!
  • Fridge Horror: Soldiers are bought and sold and military costs are so low they could only possibly cover food and upkeep at minimum. It becomes apparent that wars in CN are fought by slave-soldiers.
    • And just think about what it means that the population is reduced when infrastructure is destroyed...
  • Magnificent Bastard: Ivan Moldavi and Franco, the most well-known of Pacifica's emperors, could come off as this trope.
    • Franco is notable in that he started the NPO in Nation States, founded its core ideology, but never immigrated to CN.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Get Abandoned--LIKE A BOSS!" and various other gifs and phrases are formed solely within the context of CN, of which "Brilliant political move", "In before close" and "Lines are being drawn" are the most popular.
    • Anything involving Rebel Virginia tends to hit meme status quick. Also "o/ HAIL [xxx]!"
