  • All There in the Manual: Of all the countless questions left unanswered, Weaver has since provided information of quite a many.
  • Audience Participation Failure: Weaver had first attempted to run Ruby Quest on the /r9k/ board, which unfortunately was going nowhere. He had later moved it to /tg/ where its interest and participation spread like wildfire among the community[1]
  • Deleted Scenes:

 "Red came back as some kind of 'force', as seen in the OP's image. Things started coming to life, including the walls themselves. Shit hit the fan. Ruby had a temporary hallucination where everything in the facility was suddenly friendly and happy, Red was wishing her a happy birthday, etc.

Then Ruby nearly died when the Bird Zombie attacked, Tom beat the thing to death to save her but lost an arm."

  • Fan Nickname/ Known Only By Their Nickname: CJOPAZE.[2]
    • The Unpronounceable: Although, a recurring Ruby Quest player--known as "Amazing"--attempted to clarify it as "Syo-pah-zay" [1]
  • Follow the Leader: RQ inspired a lot of other "Quest" collective games on /tg/ and other boards, such as Mudy Quest. Asking whether this was a good or bad thing can cause an Internet Backdraft.
  • What Measure Is a Fictional-Character?: A Real Life example; nearing the end of the main game, /tg/ goes into a huge debate over the moral consequences of whether or not to Mercy Kill Bella.
  • Schedule Slip: Apparently, the main reason /tg/ raged at Maddie so hard during Thursday Quest.
    • Subverted[?] when Weaver announces that he actually "never said Thursday".
  • Trolling Creator: Weaver had actually admitted this during the Déjà Vu special.[[hottip:*:
    >This is all just Weaver doing shit for the hell of it.
    BASICALLY YES
    ]]
  • Identity Impersonator: Comically Averted. During The Weaver, someone had attempted to impersonate the actual Weaver with a Rule 34 spam image drawn in his style[3]. However, this was mainly ignored due to the fact he had got Weaver's tripcode wrong.[[hottip:*:
    "Don't you start that bullshit again."

    "And that's game"

    "DIE FALSE WEAVER!"

    ". . .
    son I am disappoint
    You think after all the bullshit from
    Ruby Quest most of us would have Weaver's trip memorized"
    ]]
  • Sequelitis: For the first time in Ruby Quest's history on the site; the Daisy Quest gag's thread had only achieved a Good Thread archive rating, as every thread before has always been awarded with an Epic Thread rating.
  1. (and considering the impact it had on the community itself, thank God it did!)
  2. (Additionally known as "Perogra"; infrequently referred to as the "Bound Watcher", "He Who Slumbers in the Buried Dark", and the "God of the Green Throne")
  3. (And by that, I mean MS Paint)
