    Hey, all!

    I assume many of you are familiar with TVTropes. If not, you should click that link and do some background research... Although it's not necessary if you only want to understand the lulz contained here, and not enrich your life with Tropes.
    So, the point of this thread is to figure out what trope(s) perfectly describe each member of the URPG community. This will be done by popular opinion (suggestions, votes, etc etc) mixed with a little bit of ARBITRARY AUTOCRATIC DECISION on my part.

    Basically, every day, I'll pick a person, and visitors to this thread can vote on what trope they think describes that person perfectly. Depending on how many votes I get, and how close to unanimous those votes are, I may do more than one per day or wait a couple of days. When voting/chatting about the current 'URPG Troper of the day,' feel free to be as silly or as serious as you like, as long as a small part of your post actually contributes to the on-topic discussion.

    Each post should contain a link to the trope (or tropes!) you think suits a person best, AND/OR votes for up to two existing suggestions for the current victim.

    Example (but seriously, it doesn't have to be in this format):
    Suggestion: Magikchicken is totally Brilliant But Lazy, lol
    Vote 1: Alaskapigeon suggested Covert Pervert, xD xD xD THIS GETS A VOTE, especially since the trope isn't exactly what it says on the tin. ^_^
    Vote 2: Obviously, according to HiPS, Magik is The Hero of the BMG URPGers. I'm sure he has no ulterior motive at all for suggesting this one.

    Let it begin!

    The List of Tropers:
    1. Alaskapigeon - Lovable Sex Maniac
    2. Near - Harmless Villain
    3. HiPS - Hidden in Plain Sight
    4. Derian - Cool Loser
    5. Acetrainer14 - Godwin's Law
    6. Scourge of Nemo - ??

    ___________________________________

    EVENTS:
    1. Alaskapigeon's troperization is complete. Unanimous decision, hands down, and even before half the audience arrived.
    2. Near is the URPG's resident Harmless Villain.
    3. Hide in Plain Sight... Exactly What It Says On The Tin.
    4. Derian. F YEAH!!
    5. Acetrainer14, anthropomorphic personification of Godwin's Law.
    6. Scourge of Nemo, who's too cool to have a stats page on the BMG forums.

    Probably unanimous. I guess this could be interesting so long as we have actual choices =P

    Yeah... I kind of had to, partly because it was Alaska's idea and partly to guage how many people would actually respond despite everyone knowing what it'd be already.

    Okay, let's start this for real! Our next target is...

    Near.

    HAVE FUN!

    Hmm... So far I share Marshy's opinion. xD Anyone else with comments/support of any of the three aforementioned options?

    A'ight! We have a fair amount of votes, though the number of responses is not what I could've hoped. Still! I'll rule that Harmless Villain is a good choice for Near. On to our next vict-- err, honoured guest.

    By popular request (and by that I mean his request,) I bring you...

    Hide in Plain Sight!! (HiPS)

    Discuss.

    What, still no other opinions? I'd be more inclined to call him a Non-Action Snarker.

    Fighting-type specialist? Really? :sweatlol:

    Eh, we still love you, HiPS, even with all your snark. :thumbup:

    Yeah, more or less. Kudos for meme reference, but I thought he was generally less effectual than a Part-Time Hero. I suppose a compromise might be found in the Reckless Sidekick. A lot of the time, he even pulls off one of his zany schemes, so maybe he has moar skillz than I thought!

    Wait your turn! D=

    Honestly, I should make a sign-up list. But that'd be too much work, and I'm too lazy, so forget it.

    Pleased to meet you, Gate. The Tastes Like Diabetes line-up is over there.

    Well, could we get some more opinions? If some people could post their own suggestions, and vote on the already-suggested tropes, we can get a decisive conclusion on what trope describes HiPS.
