I don't see what this trope has to do with Wizards. Can I add a needs better name tag?

I'll explain the reference.

In the arcade game Gauntlet, one of the responses you'd see if you played the wizard character and didn't replenish the food meter in a timely manner by walking over a food tile was the trope name, as food was effectively used to impose a time limit on play, and starving too long meant death.

I would have known that if I bothered to remember the etymology line. I don't think the name explains the trope though well enough. Can I add the tag?

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

I would try to get a forum discussion going about the need for a better name if you do.

By forum, do you mean Trope Talk?
