=== This game provides examples of: ===
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: [[Troll|Trolls]] are tanks, [[Emo Teen|Emo Kids]] are berserkers, [[Attention Whore|Camwhores]] are [[Squishy Wizard|Squishy (snicker) Wizards]], and [[The Cracker|Hackers]] are the nuke mages. Permanoobs are the excessively weak class and Re-Res are even weaker.
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: You have to pay to unlock Episode II, and presumably any subsequent episodes. You do get to keep playing the community forums and Episode I forums, though, as long as you don't open the notice that your fictional ISP account has been suspended following Episode I's conclusion.
** You can still continue playing- just sentrillion something and play through the Internet Court scene. You still won't be able to access the Episode II forums, but everything else will be reactivated.
* [[Anti Poop Socking]]: There's a maximum of four forum visits per day (with a rollover cap of 12), which is about 90 minutes of playtime at most.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The Church of Saiyantology mentioned below was a community forum when it was introduced. Now it's a plot point in Episode II, and one of your clients that is among their organization is [[John Travolta (Creator)|oddly]] [[Tom Cruise|familiar]]. Paranormal Panorama too, possibly, or it could be a subversion. After all, the mission that tells you take it down does specifically state it's there in the community forums.
** Stalker Central and [[Engrish]] Ressons also get this treatment fairly early in the third episode.
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Pretty much everyone you troll is a [[Jerkass]] or [[Too Dumb to Live]]. Or both.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Easter Egg]]: Sentrillioning certain members of the community will get you some...interesting results.
** OMG Easter Egg!
* [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors]]: Partially implemented: attack techniques and forums beyond the lowest levels have psychological types, weaknesses, and resistances. While there isn't a specific "X beats Y beats Z beats X" in place, classes end up specializing to various degree in some types of psychological attack. This makes some classes better against specific fora.
* [[Emo Teen]]: The [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Emo Kid]] class. Attacks tend to emphasize bitching about other people in their life, how their hair/tattoo/scars make them unique, and generally complaining about how much their life sucks.
* [[Fantasy Character Classes]]: Camwhores [[The Medic|can heal themselves]], Emo Kids were [[Game Breaker|once so powerful that they had to be nerfed]] and [[The Berserker|deal higher damage with their class-specific attacks as they lose Ego]], and Hackers have more equipment slots than any other class while having to [[Vancian Magic|plan out their attacks to account for cooldown timers]]. Trolls and Permanoobs rely mainly on [[Mighty Glacier|trying to endure as many hits as possible]] as long as their drug supplies hold out. Hell, most Troll equipment emphasizes defense over offense.
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Played straight, subverted singly AND doubly, and just plain toyed around with in every which way with the Bad Joke-a-palooza attack.
* [[Item Crafting]]: Sets of ".moar" files can be assembled into a document, sound, video or application file. You can equip one of each file type at any given time, and sell duplicates (or outdated/off-class files) as [[Vendor Trash]].
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: {{spoiler|Shallow}} does this in one of the endings. It does not end well for you.
* [[Jerkass]]: Getting the Evil alignment requires you to be a dick to everyone more than anything actually evil. Also Trolls, a jerkass CLASS.
* [[Joke Character]]: The Re-re/Permanoob class.
Line 68 ⟶ 67:
* [[Too Soon]]: The Troll ability "Threat Level: Red" involves making fake terrorist threats.
* [[Vendor Trash]]: Junk is given to you by strangers when you pwn forums. It has no use, but it can be sold and is your main source of income.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: A number of choices during the game, including but not limited to: driving someone to suicide, killing {{spoiler|Nordstrom}} by making him shit himself to death, and being a [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Big Fat Meanie-Head-Face-Pants]]. You heartless bastard.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: In Episode 3, the fights against {{spoiler|Nordstrom and Purifyingselector88}}. They don't have ludicrous amounts of health for no good reason, [[Talking the Monster To Death|despite being dispatched by other means]]. You eventually have to beat a thread with half a million health.
