Line 7:
So far, the plot has been divided into "Chapters"--each one, after the end of the very beginning's more chaotic start, run by a different player, who assumes the role of 'GM' for the duration. At 16+ chapters and over two full year of dedicated play, the game has currently spanned [[Archive Binge|275+]] pages of posts. (Luckily, a condensed Plot Summary is in the works for [[Archive Panic|new players]].)
 
The story [[It Runs Onon Nonsensoleum|can]] [[Rule of Funny|be]] [[Rule of Cool|a]] little silly, and [[Trope Overdosed|tropes]]--both played straight and subverted--are considered rules of the very universe...
 
We swear, it's [[Better Than It Sounds]]. Despite the silliness, a lot of effort goes into it. Character development has occurred over time, loads of extra material and backstory has been worked out--even a full explanation of the combined time line from two different canons being used.
Line 21:
* Angrish: "This is Commander Xerox. If you are hearing this message, then you have angered one of our agents to the point of being incapable of coherent speech..."
** Run, ya numbskulls.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]] If it isn't [[It Runs Onon Nonsensoleum]], it's ''this''. Although, at least ''some'' attempt at Internal logic is attempted.
* [[Mad Scientist]] Who isn't?
* [[Madness Tropes]] At least 70% of them are used.
Line 61:
* [[Evil Twin]] Actually, Evil Twins of a pair of twins. Who actiually came first by several years. Long story. Cloning was involved.
** A more straight example of this is The Nega Verse, a universe of Opposite Alignment Clones. Has a suprisingly genial relationship with the Main Verse, and several 'Nega' characters have become favored Secondary characters.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]
* [[Fatal Flaw]] (Well, they ''are'' mad scientists. Most have at least one- Andrew Tiker may be [[Genre Savvy]], but at the cost of his [[Common Sense]]. He had been known to forget how to work a doorknob.
* [[Fairy Companion]] Elleb.
Line 74:
* [[Geographic Flexibility]] Xycon City, as the main location of the Wars is now named. Apparently it has large forests...
* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]], albeit only in a passing reference.
* [[Go-Karting Withwith Bowser]] Fairly common- it's been hinted that a lot of Heroes and Villains do this 'off the clock', as it were.
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: Well, it IS a derivative of Narbonic...
* [[Government Conspiracy]] At least two, so far. {{spoiler|Possibly three...}}
Line 86:
* [[Instant Sedation]]
* [[Invulnerable Civilians]] Subverted-- The hapless Brad and Janet thought that the Mad Science Convention would be a fun way to spend a weekend...
* [[It Runs Onon Nonsensoleum]] Occasionally.
* [[Kiss of Death]] (Jane Narbon.)
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] (Potentially subverted-- it's been suggested that David may have suppressed his own memory on purpose.)
Line 116:
* [[Scary Librarian]] Enough so that a High-Level Villain, who rules 'his own country' starts stuttering when she gives him the glare.
* [[Shout-Out]] (Loads. It is a [[Fan Work]] after all.)
* [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"]] The Steve.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]] Xyon/Xylon/Xykon/Xyclon City. Xyon seems to be the most popular spelling, though.
** Ri Xean/Xi Rean/Rhy Zean the Martian.
* [[Surveillance Asas the Plot Demands]] (SoItBegins, during the Awards.)
* [[Take Our Word for It]] (That little... ''incident'' with the Guardian Statues. Also the Line Dance incident. And many more.
* [[Travelling At the Speed of Plot]] Andrew Tinker can't travel at anything ''other'' than the speed of plot, which sometimes annoys him.
Line 130:
* [[Villain World]]: The Nega-World
* [[Wrench Wench]] (ChicGeek, a mad who specializes in [[Steampunk]] designs.)
* [[Writing Byby the Seat of Your Pants]] : Happens a lot.
