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.

Basic Trope: Players of a game receive very large numbers of points for their actions.

  • Straight: Doing a Goomba Stomp on an enemy gives you 1000 points instead of just one.
  • Exaggerated: You get googolplexes of points for everything you do in the game.
  • Downplayed: You get five points for minor actions instead of just one.
  • Justified: Your score represents money, and you're being paid a lot for your mission.
  • Inverted: You get 0.00000001 points for beating the Final Boss.
  • Subverted: At the end of the game, your score is divided by 100, so you really only got one point for actions you thought gave you 100.
  • Double Subverted: ...Then, your score gets multiplied by 1 million.
  • Parodied: The zeroes at the end of your score counter run off the edge of the screen.
  • Zig Zagged: Your score is displayed in different units at different points in the game, making it look much larger in some places than in others.
  • Averted: Every bit of progress you make in the game earns you only one point each.
  • Enforced: The game company wants the high scores on their game to be really impressive, so they make the game give out points like crazy.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "I scored a million points in this game!" "I guess you need to practice more."
