Added DiffLines:

* AntiVillain: Strippin and Benji are this; they both worship the Hand of Truth with Hat Films and do prank the other members of the group, but neither he nor Benj are as confrontational as the Sirs are. They are also bullied into participation to an extent.


Added DiffLines:

* GenreSavvy: Strippin and Benji build a new treehouse base, and again he takes special care to put planks around the edges because he fears they'll fall off.

* TokenGoodTeammate: While Strippin and Benji aid Hat Films in their bizarre and immoral activities, they're not as confrontational with the rest of the group.

''Cornerstone'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' LetsPlay series in which various members of the [[WebVideo/YogscastMinecraftSeries Yogscast]] (plus one or two friends) elect a mayor every week, who then divides up tasks for everyone to work on.
----
!!''Cornerstone'' contains examples of:

* AnarchyIsChaos: Surprisingly averted in Week 6, in which no mayor was elected and the group mostly managed to make a good amount of progress, in spite of them having no specific instructions.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** One of Strippin's proposals to be mayor is that they should devote their efforts to finding a crashed meteorite and farm the materials. Smiffy immediately points out that this isn't really profitable enough for the entire team to work on.
** Hat Films decide to build a secret room for the Mile High Club... and make it entirely out of gold bricks. While gold bricks are actually fairly common with the mod, it still means that they have to harvest gold which takes time.
** During his guest role, Sips' proposal for becoming mayor is that he builds a diamond-plated sex dungeon. The plan never comes to fruition.
* BullyingADragon:
** Trott ends up annoying Strippin and harassing him with false bureaucratic jargon. Strippin pulls out a sword, hits him once and then warns him that the second blow will kill him.
** Smiffy's disguising himself as a Creeper and attacking a heavily-armoured Sjin wasn't such a good idea.
* DecidedByOneVote: The electoral process typically ends with one deciding vote.
* GodzillaThreshold: Normally, the individual groups are left to deal with their own problems, but in certain cases the emergencies get sufficiently bad for them to temporarily ignore their own goals and work together.
* GoneHorriblyRight:
** Smiffy disguises himself as a Creeper to troll the others. They freak out and murder him instantly.
** Hat Films are instructed to build a courthouse. They do so, but end up forming a cult in the process, causing a factional divide later.
* TheLeader: Whoever gets voted as mayor delegates tasks to others and makes sure they're going along smoothly. The position changes every week.
* NoOSHACompliance:
** Due to it being so high up, the town members keep falling off the island and to the ground (though gliders make this more of an inconvenience than anything, and there is a pool of water below the edges of the island).
** The emergency exit for the "Mile High Club" room is fine for anyone who has gliders, but anyone without is guaranteed a fall to their death. This happens to the oblivious Sips.
** When Hat Films start expanding the island, they forget to lay torches down, causing some mobs to attack them while they're building.
* OhCrap: Happens a few times when people fall off the island.
* OpenSecret:
** By the end of Week 5, [[spoiler:only Duncan and Kim don't know about the secret "Mile High Club" room]].
** All of the so called "secret bases" get discovered surprisingly easily.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Trott's attitude in Week 7, when he is made mayor.
* ShoutOut: In Week 14, Strippin makes numerous references to ''Series/RobotWars'' when discussing the arena he and Benji have constructed.
* StrawmanPolitical: Hat Films pose as over-the-top sexists that construct a room for a "Mile High Club".
* TakeAThirdOption: After people keep arguing about who should be mayor in Week 6, Sjin just declares that there's no mayor this week and that people should split into teams.
* TooDumbToLive: Trott shapeshifts into a squid while up on the island and out of the water. He ends up suffocating to death five times.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Pretty much everyone towards one another.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Despite all having common goals to work on and very pressing survival issues, the various members have to furiously fight to get themselves elected, then need to struggle with what little materials they have (for such a large group). Even after resources become less of an issue, Hat Films end up founding a cult and causing a divide.
