How about the front page of the comic?

Yep. Sounds a lot better.

Yes, great idea 8-)
It's the only image we have that doesn't focus on one character specifically.

Maybe this is another thing we should commission somebody for?

I agree, that would be cool.

If you want something simple like a symbol or logo or something to be the page pic I could probably whip something up, actually.
If you ever need to ask the questions "Am I needed? Should I help them?" The answer is always yes. Always.

Tried adding the image but all I got was a "no hotlinked images" sign. Any help?

Oh, and whoever called me Fantastic Ms. Fox? I love you! I'm now morally obligated to use fox images as my avatar for the rest of the game, but I find absolutely no problems with that.

Look at Adell. I would have, but I've never actually come across that trope.

And the Samus Is A Girl addition just made me giggle.

Yeah, about the character page: All those grey bars make it difficult to search for separate characters. Maybe we should keep those only for the character's names :?: That should make it a little easier on the eyes. Thoughts?

Sorting the characters into folders would be the best idea.

What would the categories be? Fictionals and players? And should we keep cAke out of either of those categories?

Characters fron reality.

Characters from fiction.

Players.

Well, I've tried... kind of. Still needs a lot of work, but I've sorted them in those categories

I haven't checked the pages yet (I'm now writing from my bed with a laptop :gurt: ), but I did think about the categories before, and I thought we should have the following ones:
  1. Powers That Be (So far, only Mr. A)
  2. Real characters
    This may be subdivided into:
    1. WTF
    2. Echo Chamber (ahem, if we discount Mr. A, this category is empty)
    3. Others
  3. Fictional characters

Wouldn't that be too many categories at once? I mean, like you said, Mr A is the only one who could fit in either one of two categories, and if you put him in one, it leaves the other empty. I agree with Mr A not fitting in the three categories we had before.

Well, we may leave the Echo Chamber category. There are bound to be more Powers That Be involved. If there are Evil!Tropers, there should be Evil!Mr. A. If we discount the fact that he was overseeing two opposing wiki shows at the same time. :?

I don't doubt that there will be more Powers That Be (cool name btw) revealed. But so far, that hasn't happened yet. Why add a new category if it just sits there being empty and looking useless, when you can also add it when it has some use?

(And I must have missed something again :oops: Why do you guys think there are Evil Tropers?)

(Yay! My first post!)

Ahem. I would say remove the Echo Chamber section completely, and instead, post a link the the Echo Chamber Character Page. On account of Mr. A, keep him in, but put only that which is canon to WTF, not Echo Chamber.

Because everyone needs to belong to some category.
Also, Powers That Be is a trope. :gurt:

Why is the trope page in web video? There's a lot more to it than videos, shouldn't it be in web original or web game?
