Lynching ITP: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

These games hosted at the [[The Order of the Stick|Giant In The Playground]] forums are part [[Mega Crossover]], part [[MS Ting]]. For one reason or another, a random assortment of characters from fiction have appeared in the world of a series considered to be poorly written (traditionally ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' or ''[[The Inheritance Cycle]]''), frequently with some motivation to kill its main characters. The game ends when all main characters of the work are dead. Sounds like a [[Hate Fic]], except that interactions between [[Player Characters]] can make up a [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|significant]] [[Odd Couple|portion]] [[Story-Breaker Team-Up|of the plot]], to the point where the series being "lynched" is little more than a backdrop.

Over time, the "[[Mary Sue Hunter|kill all]] [[Mary Sue~~|Mary Sues~~]]" aspects have softened, to the point where some players will attempt to defend the canon characters, and some may be left alive at the end of the game. A game has even been run for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (which the players generally hold in high esteem).

Originally each game took place in a separate continuity, with no interaction between them. [[No Fourth Wall|Unless you're]] [[Deadpool]].

* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: At one point there have been at least four different versions of [[Excalibur]] in existence at a time.

* [[Running Gag]]: [[Deadpool]] showing up at random to insult whoever is playing him.

* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: The [[Game Master~~|Game Masters~~]] tend to pull this whenever a PC becomes too powerful. [[Hellsing|Alucard]] and [[Heroes (TV series)|Sylar]] are popular for this.

* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: The game has shifted more towards this over time.

** The Crimson King is [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Father]]. Ironically, at the start of the game Naoki and Minato put him on the path to discovering and taking the over The Dark Tower.

** [[Kingdom Hearts|Zexion]] is based on his characterization in [[Ansem Retort]], meaning he's essentially an enormous [[Jerkass|Tool]]. Confusingly, [[Kingdom Hearts|Axel]] is not.

** Every [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] is the same character. On occasion this means [[Castlevania|Dracula]] can be seen in the company of [[The Sandman|a perky goth girl]].

*** In fact, Darkseid getting the Anti-Life Equation was a subplot. A minor subplot.
