  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: A military organization with very lax discipline and rules of hierarchy

  • Straight: Pvt. Jones of Bravo Squad routinely calls Bravo Commander by her first name.
  • Exaggerated: Everyone in the Troperia Army from the lowliest private to the highest ranked general goes by their first names and can get away with gross breaches in protocol.
  • Justified: Bravo Squad is an elite special forces squad so they get a little more leeway when it comes to regulations.
  • Inverted: The workers of the company Troperia Electronics Inc. wear military-like uniforms and use military-like titles. And discipline is very strict.
  • Subverted: When Bravo Squad is first met, they are very loose and informal. But when they enter combat, they lose their informal attitude.
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: You get put in the brig for trying to enforce the regulations.
  • Deconstructed: Bravo Squad gets their ass handed to them during their first real battle due to their total lack of discipline.
    • Bravo Squad becomes the laughingstock of the Troperia Army and the public because of their lack of discipline.
  • Reconstructed: The lack of discipline leads to a disastrous defeat, but they partially redeem themselves because their focus on individual initiative and loose organization make them surprisingly good at guerilla warfare.
  • Zig Zagged: The discipline of Bravo Squad varies. Sometimes they are very loose and informal. Other times they are very strict about rules and regulations.
  • Averted: Bravo Squad has a strict emphasis on discipline.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: "Gee, the Bravo Squad doesn't seem to be very professional for a group of elite soldiers."
  • Invoked: ???
  • Defied: "Ugh, we really need to teach the soldiers of Bravo Squad some discipline."
  • Discussed: "I wonder if it's true that elite soldiers are less strict when it comes to regulations?"
  • Conversed: ???
  • Played For Laughs: ???
  • Played For Drama: ???

Just waltz on back to Mildly Military while not saluting that general over there.
