Line 19:
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Like most [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]]
** We have seen the PVP'ers heavily de-level someone by camping their corpse, though.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Don't sass the devs.
* [[Dulcinea Effect]]: [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=53 "So, when are we leaving?"]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Fred the Dread and Your Name Here consider it bad form to trash talk well matched or undermatched opponents. Subverted by D34dly, who... doesn't.
Line 25:
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: Ohforf has become this [[The Fool|completely by accident]], {{spoiler|killing a new raid boss through a series of coincidences}}.
** Ohforf didn't even {{spoiler|kill the raid boss}}. It swallowed the new GM, burned its insides on the GM's flaming staff and killed itself on the stalactites, then landed at Ohforf's feet. That's why {{spoiler|the new GM got the uber-buff, not Ohforf'.}}
* [[Five
** [[The Big Bad]]: Fred the Dread (main leader of the PKers and causer of the most mayhem) or Drakoola (the actual Guild Leader)
** [[The Dragon]]: Dakilla (if Fred is the Big Bad) or Fred the Dread (if Drakoola is the Big Bad)
Line 47:
* [[Patchwork Map]]: The Crossroads!
* [[Personal Effects Reveal]]: The first rat that Ohforf kills has a tiny little wallet with a crayon drawing of his son expressing his love for his daddy.
* [[Pointy
* [[Poop Socking]]: Parodied.
* [[Purple Prose]]: Many [[The Roleplayer|roleplayers]] talk like this.
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: [[Lampshaded]] of course, but Sir Bob's outfit actually wouldn't look out of place as a medieval noble.
** A later bit character (a [[Small Name, Big Ego|raid leader]]) is wearing so many shoulder pads, one on top of another, that his guildmates require a ladder to help him put a new pair on.
* [[Reset Button]]: '''CLICHEQUEST.EXE ERROR: SERVER CONNECTION LOST''' appears whenever the story gets a bit too far from the status quo.
** Rather literally, with how the devs use that button.
Line 57:
* [[Running Gag]]: Powerful characters are always getting [[Killed Off for Real]] by Clichemon.
* [[Sexy Packaging]]: [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=186 The expansion pack.]
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: ([[In Universe]]). Al, one of the developers, is also a PvPer who despises all non-PVP content and constantly fights with the other developers when forced to work on "carebear content". [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=285 He later gets his revenge.]
* [[Stripperific]]: Parodied. Hypatia complains about it, and not to mention the cover for the game's patch...
* [[Shout Out]]: Directly to ''[[City of Heroes]]'' at one early point. Not to mention that in many ways Clichequest seems to share a little too much in common with ''[[Ultima Online]]'' and ''[[Ever Quest]]'' to be a coincidence.
Line 65:
** [[Dwarf Fortress]]: [http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=389 seen on a dev's computer]
*** And the [http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=412 cofounder] as well.
* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: Apparently, the lead dev trying to outdo ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' in [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|bigger shoulder pads]]. One rejected design had cranes on it to assist lifting [[BFS|epic weapons]].
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: The lead developer, and several players.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: "Switch yourself off, fool! You'll [[Lampshade Hanging|attract attention]]!" - Sir Bob to a spy disguised as a [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]].
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: D34dly D34dly.
