Would a EoFF TV Tropes be cool? What tropes would you have? Should we start a page?
Not sure how well a forum would translate to such a site. Has it been done before?
Hmm...I don't think that would work too well. Like Sephex said, this is a forum, not a game or TV show.
Nonsense, it's just a very abstract reality TV show.
All the world's a stage.Quote:

Hell yeah, I'll be The Confidant.
Loony BoB has confirmed he definitely the CONTROL FREAK
Discussion forums are way too esoteric even for TV Tropes, and that's saying something.
How often do we get to use the word "esoteric" on EoFF?
can you even use the term for something that's not on tv
ahahahaha okay :jiro:Quote:

I suppose it is. I wasn't arguing the point, I merely found it interesting!
OMG, Where is he!?? Do he still visits this place!!?? I misses him!!! :(Quote:

OH GOD WHAT YEAR IS IT
The irony here is in real life I actually eat ridiculously small portions for a fully grown man. Still reading the article on tv tropes I can see a couple of ideas where you'd be heading with this.Quote:

Tv Tropes is the crack of the Internet. Of course I condone this.
Honestly, I've never understood the appeal of TV Tropes and why people find it so fascinating.
I feel like I learn so much. And it neverendingly links to itself! And external links! Ooh baby! *drools*
I sometimes feel like half the reason I've gotten so much into Doctor Who is how extensive TV Tropes' coverage of it is. Of course, there are a huge number of reasons other than that, so it isn't half the reason, but TV Tropes definitely helped.
EVERY. smurfING. TIME.Quote:

I quickly learned that there is no avoiding cliches or archetypes, everything's been done, what's been done has often been done again, done to death, revived for mild amusement and/or nostalgia and killed again, and then done once more years off the mark just to check if anybody remembers it. So I decided if I couldn't beat'em, I'd join'em, and while I was at it, I pretty much determined to merge with the entirety of the site until I was essentially a sickly if silly god of all tropes. Ridiculousness empower me!Quote:

As for TVTropes, every great writer I personally know pretty much has the site memorized. Which makes me feel bad because I have never spent much time there. xD
Pike is the Fragile Flower
I had to look that up and it is like the opposite of me. Maybe I need to work on my presentation skills...Quote:
