GavsEvans123 05/14/19 4:08:02 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Shrinking Violet Launcher of a Thousand Ships Despair Event Horizon Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him Blue-Collar Warlock Too Good for the Sinful Earth Pop-Cultured Badass Poisonous Person Your Soul is Mine Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921890171] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 05/14/19 4:12:31 PM #3:	Today's trope is Infinity -1 Sword. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InfinityMinusOneSword The Infinity Minus One sword isn't the most powerful weapon in the game, but it's a lot easier to get than the most powerful. It's not the Infinity +1 Sword. Statistically Speaking, it's not as good. It's not necessarily the Sword of Plot Advancement either (although it could be). And yet, you find people using it for most of the game, despite not being the actual "best" weapon available. Perhaps the Infinity +1 Sword is too hard to get, and the Sword of Plot Advancement doesn't show up until five minutes before the Final Boss fight. Often, however, the Infinity Minus One is available at any shop for the whole party to use, whereas there is only one of the Infinity +1 Sword. Or that sword is a Bragging Rights Reward, while this sword is useful in getting that reward. TL,DR: A weapon or piece of equipment that's not the best in the game, but it's good enough that this is what you'll probably be using unless you go out of your way to get the best stuff. Nominations: Dragoon Armour (Legend of Dragoon) Zweihnder (Dark Souls) Fire Sword (Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:921890370] in Best of th...
