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. In the event of a tie between 4 or more nominations, a tiebreaker poll will be run at a later date to determine a winner. 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: Mentor Occupational Hazard Fat B**** Lean and Mean Fat and Skinny Names to Run Away From Really Fast Oddball Doppelganger Identical Stranger Mood Whiplash The Only One Allowed to Defeat You Torch the Franchise and Run Trash the Set Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:924510608] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 07/10/19 5:29:26 PM #3:	Today's trope is BFS. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bfs The melee weapon equivalent of a BFG. A common trope to both video games and anime, a BFS is an unrealistically large sword most often owned by The Hero, The Chosen One, or whatever type the lead happens to be. To be a true BFS, it should be nearly as long as its owner is tall. It may or may not have other special qualities besides being humongous. If a BFS does possess other strange qualities, one of them almost assuredly prevents it from being used by other people, whether that be weight, a magical barrier, a direct link to its owner, or other means. Usually no other character in a game or series is the possessor of a sword that is anywhere close to as huge. Sometimes, even when unusual swords and weapons are an everyday occurrence, characters are still surprised by the size of the lead's BFS, as it is a physical manifestation of its owner's potential power. TL,DR: A very big sword Nominations: Buster Sword (Final Fantasy VII) Dragonslayer (Berserk) Soul Edge (Soul Calibur) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:924510765] in Best of th...
