TvTropes page on LCS! Needs more Liberal Tropes!

It needs work, and a lot of the LCS examples in various tropes need to link to the LCS page, as well as adding the tropes to the LCS page, but it's a start.
Now, go forth to fight EVIL.

I cleaned it up and added some info.

I'm too lazy to add LCS entries to relevant tropes or to add relevant tropes to the LCS page. I'll leave it to others.

Edit: okay I guess I'm not too lazy to do the five seconds' research it takes to add a few existing trope examples. A more comprehensive list is beyond my ken though.

I'll submit a correction on the timeline: The last official Bay12Games release was 3.09 in August 2004. My first release of a modified version was 3.10 in June 2007.

...I have no idea how I managed to be out by two whole years on the timeline.

They all just kind of blend together once you get older than 16 :(

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Five hours and it somehow got me around to downloading and watching Idiocracy somewhere in the middle too.

Quote
•AKA 47 averted
•A Team Firing unskill people then they turn in to probable Aiming Skills
•((Authority Equals Asskicking)): as the main way to level up is to fight.
•Armor Is Useless its not,most of the time.
•Animal Rights: Ranging from "Kick The Dog" to Animals being able to vote.
•Boom Headshot: with add Gorn text.
•Bottomless Magazines:
•Badass: With enough juice and practice, anyone can become skilled enough to mow down SWAT teams. Including Retirees (Liberals also don't care about gender), Preachers or nuns, Teachers, and so on. Even if, for example, they lose their legs, they get a wheelchair and go on regardless.
•Big Red Button: If one manages to sneak into a nuclear power plant, you may find a big red button that you can press to cause a nuclear meltdown. The catch? You need a certain skill to press the button.
•Everyone Is Bi: While gender is part of a character's stats, it's a conservative notion and has no effect on the game, not even aesthetically. So you are free to hook up ''any'' of your followers with ''anyone'' who needs seducing.
•Heroes Prefer Swords:
•Human Shield:you get shot anyway but they might get hit.
•Instant Death Bullet: Gruesomely averted. Tales abound of players and their allies receiving near-fatal heart wounds which can be patched up on the scene by an LCS member with a decent first-aid skill... only for the character to later bleed out from the hole left in their heart by the bullet. (The coding reason for this is that the game tracks internal wounds, and since wounds to internal organs can't be treated by field medicine, it continues to hemorrhage, dealing damage until the character dies.)
•Infinite Supplies:no you need cash to live ang where thats not the homeless shelter.
•Never Bring A Knife To A Fist Fight :subverted pack a sword instead.
•Roguelike: The game uses non-traditional ASCII graphics. Some objects are represented with words instead of ASCII characters.
•Save Scumming: L: Any accidental death can be prevented and any prison sentence reduced by reloading a game auto saved from the day before.
•Strawman Political: Played for laughs. The game treats ultra-conservatives as evil fascists and ultra-liberals as the second coming of Christ.
•We Will Not Have Racial Diversity In the Future: as the game keep check of time this can happen.
•Pistol Whipping:check.

Ugh this page makes my eyes bleed! Worse of all we got a "Justification editor" who instead of adding another facet just rewrites these things.

Anyhow here are the rewrites that probably need to be made
 
•A Team Firing unskill people then they turn in to probable Aiming Skills
--Needs a Trope! unless this is "Improbable fighting skills"... The closest I can think of is "Conservation of Ninjitsu" or "Storm Trooper training Academy" or something.
•((Authority Equals Asskicking)): as the main way to level up is to fight.
--There is no point to Parenthesis AND no the writing doesn't match the trope.
•Armor Is Useless its not,most of the time.
--Armor Is Useless: Averted
•Animal Rights: Ranging from "Kick The Dog" to Animals being able to vote.
--Animal Rights: If your society becomes liberal enough animals can even earn the right to vote.  
•Heroes Prefer Swords:
--Not the proper Trope. Remove this
•Human Shield:you get shot anyway but they might get hit.
--Human Shield: Your followers can take bullets for you, though you still get shot anyhow.
--This confuses me actually... At least write it better if I am not correct. 
•Infinite Supplies:no you need cash to live ang where thats not the homeless shelter.
--See this isn't needed... here is something else assuming it isn't an odd edit.
--Infinite Supplies: Justified, as long as you stay in the homeless shelter your needs will be provided for. Anywhere else and you will need to pay for utilities.
•Never Bring A Knife To A Fist Fight :subverted pack a sword instead.
--Never Bring A Knife To A Fist Fight: Subverted, while melee weapons arn't too special at first. Once your character becomes a one man army a sword can slice a tank in two.
•Save Scumming: L: Any accidental death can be prevented and any prison sentence reduced by reloading a game auto saved from the day before.
--What happened to the mentions on how the saves could be deleted?
•Pistol Whipping:check.
--Pistol Whipping

I am not very well versed in this game as others so you may need to correct me.

Ohh I forgot

-The Computer is a cheating bastard: The CCS, your evil counterpart, not only ignores the police, army, and other liberals but also has access to some of the best equipment in the game that can only be obtained through the CCS.

I need someone to fix up that writing though.
