Blockland has a TV Tropes page, apparently.
Pliny:
For those who don't know and didn't find out:
TVTropes is a website dedicated to logging various 'tropes'- various ideas and actions that occur in various forms of media and on occasion real life.
From the website:
--- Quote ---Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means "stereotyped and trite." In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.
The wiki is called "TV Tropes" because TV is where we started. Over the course of a few years, our scope has crept out to include other media. Tropes transcend television. They reflect life. Since a lot of art, especially the popular arts, does its best to reflect life, tropes are likely to show up everywhere.

Otherwise, every game with projectile weapons would have "Accidental aiming Skills". Besides, that's more of a narrative trope rather than a gameplay trope.

well, yes, other FPS games are similar in that respect but i'm pointing out a particularly interesting incarnation of the trope
i mean, in most games, you don't have people waltzing blindly outside only to get nailed by a player who's not even there anymore
.::Taboo::.:
most games these days use what we could call raycasting weapons. unfortunately.

That's almost me.
I was looking for something to put in, but the closest I got to a trope about people avoiding censors was Scunthorpe Problem. More ideas?
