* ''WebVideo/LifeSMP'': In the fourth season, Limited Life, every player has a timer on their screen showing how much life-time they have left, which is also ColourCodedForYourConvenience -- green for 16 hours and up, red for under 8 hours, and yellow for the time in-between; regulations on which players can legitimately kill whom depends on what colour grade(s) the parties are on. It is technically of the Fatalistic variety, since it's impossible to ''stop'' the timer, but most if not all players interpret it as a Jump to Action to regain life-time by any means possible so they can ''delay'' the inevitable enough to win the season. Fan interpretation on how the timer manifests in-universe may vary from physical clocks and watches, to an ExplosiveLeash that detonates when the player's life-time runs out, to many other forms.
