(And now I'm fixing the outdated trope names and adding more crosslinks)
Line 13:
* [[Always Chaotic Evil]]: The rest of the internet's impression about its users.
* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: Admiral jimbob and POOPOO MCBUMFACE.
* [[Apocalypse OfDay The WeekPlanner]]: The site has been crashing a great deal recently. Some blame a horse. Others blame RPG Watch or Wikileaks. At any rate, each crash leads to a mass exodus/takeover of the more angelic RPG sites.
* [[Armour Piercing Question]]: Inverted with Andhaira.
* [[Attention Whore]]: Scottish Martial Arts ''will'' derail your thread into a discussion about trannies.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Scoffing at the idea of playing older games.
** [[Grumpy bearBear|Skyway]] has been known to send a few users into a psychotic rage with one-liners about how upcoming games are guaranteed to be "shit".
*** [['One'-liners? Give his rants more credit than that.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Vault Dweller and Dark Underlord respectively.
* [[The Cassandra]]: BLOBERT.
Line 27:
* [[GIFT]]
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Some users will admit to watching anime and playing on consoles, if you poke them enough.
* [[Hatedom]]: Bioware and Betheseda are favorites also popamole
* [[High-Class Glass]]: Monocles are truly essential.
* [[Internet Backdraft]]: What happened regarding the various "improvements" in ''[[Fallout 3]]'' when it was being developed.
* [[Intoxication Ensues]]: Drunken rants are commonplace.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: "Can't we repel this light...with the darkness in our hearts?"
Line 47:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: BLOBERT
* [[Obvious Trap]]: C'mon, if you clicked on a link without checking the URL bar first, it's your own damn fault for getting a faceful of goatse.
* [[Reviews Are Thethe Gospel]]. Almost completely averted - all of the big-name reviewing sites are, after all, bought-and-paid-for extensions of the publisher's PR departments. Smaller sites or solo-bloggers are not safe either - they are too stupid or uneducated or both, to be able to form a respectable opinion. Even Codex's own reviews are prone to be criticized for this.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Driac Kin nearly loses it at points during his ''[[Fallout 3]]'' LP. His cynical character [[MST3K Mantra|merely shrugs, and seems to find]] the whole thing somewhat amusing.
* [[The Scrappy]]: The petty feuds, rivalries and virulent hatred are all part of what makes the site great. And there's plenty of it. If you've ever posted at the Codex, you're somebody's Scrappy.
** Andhaira X, Volourn, drog and Emotional Vampire (now banned) are all users hated by the majority of the userbase, though.
* [[The Snark Knight]]: The whole userbase seems to be composed of these.
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: Mamma's Gang's take-over, arguably.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: At pretty much every point in the forum's history, someone has complained that the site's gone down the toilet, usually due to an absence of serious RPG discussion in favour of one-liners and [[4chan]] memes. 99% of uses may or may not be used as a joke about this behaviour at this point
* [[Third- Person Person]]: The Barbarian
* [[Troll]]: A handful.
* [[Trope Decay]]: "Popamole" originally referred to the system of cover+regenerating health quickly sliped into another term for "dumbed down".
