whatever the cost of giving high-functioning autists free run of human society, as a fan of old game shows and their associated minutiae, I say it's been worth it

It wasn't on a wiki, so not quite on-topic for this thread, but this reminds me of the time I stumbled upon a LiveJournal account full of vintage Price Is Right episode reviews -- including fairly specific, semi-clinical considerations of the attractiveness of every female contestant. poo poo was loving outsider art and profoundly uncomfortable.

Stationery Voyagers is an satirical serial space opera television series in development by Dozerfleet Productions. A team of diplomatic recon-oriented anthropomorphic writing utensils seek to prevent widespread imperialism in their star system, only to find themselves accidental heroes destined to battle an even bigger scheme by an ancient evil which threatens the eternal damnation of their entire universe. It was first envisioned in 2000, and has been undergoing numerous revisions since.
The Voyagers' universe is a satirical alternate universe, emphasizing Christian apologetics in the Lewisian tradition while it simultaneously analyzes and critiques a variety of other topics. These topics range from metaphysics to the teachings of Immanuel Kant and Gottfried Leibniz to political theories to the American culture war and then some.

quote:

The Paltaki Organization, which seeks to wipe out the Voyagers' implied resistance to their agenda to conquer traditional Antian society on Mantith by way of the sexual corruption of its youth. Their angry mobs are a constant threat to the Voyagers' safety on Mantith. They are a less-than-unified nationwide organization. Some of their chapters actually care about the youth and families in their local towns. Other chapters, such as the one in Illontin City, are hopelessly corrupt and are involved in illegal body part rackets.

Antian CoaliTion for Better-Tomorrow ("ACTBET"), an organization steaming with the chance to overturn Antian society as it once was. They assault traditions within Antian culture with every extreme left-wing cause they can get its hands on. They are not above terrorist activities, including eco-terrorism. They are most easily influenced by the Mystery Wanderer, unaware the technology he has donated to them is of Drismabon origin. They are outraged that the Voyagers did not come to Mantith to affirm their positions. When they learn that the Voyagers tend to lean right in their ideology more often than left, tempers flare over.

Gay-Lesbian Alliance Against All Possible Criticism (GLAAAPC, more affectionately referred to by critics as "The Crooked Rainbow"), a ruthlessly militant pro-gay organization with a base in Illontin City. Their protest mobs are the angriest and most violent in their campaign to have the Voyagers and all their allies eliminated.
They join ACTBET and the Paltakis in attacking the Voyagers, as they too stand to lose money after Neone's inspirational speech at Illontin City High School unintentionally damages the credibility of their propaganda.
In revenge for the Voyagers interfering with their propoganda, they and the Mystery Wanderer kidnap Oceanoe. When the Wanderer's Reverse-Eros Toxin Gas fails to convince Oceanoe to embrace homo-erotic desires during the shooting of pop star Katrina Anguara's latest music video, they unsuccessfully plot his murder. Their plan is foiled by the angel Filforth, who sets their tracheae on fire as punishment. Minshus himself performs patch psychology and mind blocks on Oceanoe to stabilize his mind after the trauma.
Their biggest threat does not come from the Voyagers, as they believe. Rather, it comes from the Closeteers. The Closeteers are a group that, while unwilling to abandon their gay activities, believe that individuals with such desires should keep it amongst themselves and not force it on the public nor interfere with the definitions of words nor the nature of laws. They also believe that it is wrong of Antian culture to demand that the Voyagers choose sides in an issue that has nothing to do with their mission. The Closeteers' supporting of the Voyagers has made the Crooked Rainbow's virtually terroristic core go so far as to accuse the Closeteers of being "phonies."

Bizarre Alien Reproduction: Subverted. The way they [pens and pencils] have sex is very similar to human reproduction, although they require different positions and derive less pleasure from it than we do. They are, however, more sensitive to sex-enhancement drugs, which put them in a trance easier.

Double Standard: Rape, Divine on Mortal: Averted with Maria DiNazalenth in "Essentials of Nativity." The Bible has its explanation of how this trope is averted expanded on in a way that makes it fit the story's universe.
Instead of Mary/Maria simply waking up one day pregnant, the Muellex stops time save for one isolated locale, and a Chasm Tube opens up where the Trimalus strikes her like a bolt of lightning. A "divinospermato" instantly forms, and with the aid of no other sperm cells, is able to fertilize an egg the same way sperm fertilizes an egg during artificial insemination.

Did he put it onto Evil TV Tropes himself, or did they move it there? If its the latter then my opinion of that site just went up, because that’s way funnier than deleting it.

I don't like it when video game wiki pages have large trivia pages filled with extremely basic observations, I know it's not an insane fetish hole but there is a whole generation of people that thinks "trivia" means any sort of information possibly transmittable.

Even better is when they're terrified of making a direct statement of fact, so you get a lot hesitant "possibly"s seeded throughout. The mini boss fights in the board game are possibly a reference to casinos and gambling. Possibly.
