History YMMV / ThirdLifeSMP

* SignatureScene: The triple kill Grian and Scar get from Grian's TNT minecart trap on Day 4 of Season 1, primarily because it's the single deadliest (and therefore most impactful) event on the server. It remains the deadliest event of the first three seasons.

** Martyn and Ren are sometimes called "Treebark" based around a pun on their screen-names, [=InTheLittle=]''Wood'' and Ren''Dog'', respectively. Non-shippers typically stick to their faction name, 'Renchanting', or the variant portmanteau spelling 'Renchantyn'.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Primarily reserved for more shippy variants of character dynamics, though they're sometimes used platonically as well.[[note]]In-universe examples are listed on the main page.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Doubles as TearJerker. After Scott is hunted down and killed by Martyn and Ren, he suddenly falls out of the sky into the lake just outside the Flower Forest's main base. The base is lush with plantlife, the farms replaced by a flower garden with a bench, and Scott notes that it looks exactly how he'd wanted it to, he just didn't have enough time to bring it to fruition on the actual server... [[TogetherInDeath And then Jimmy walks]] [[AfterlifeWelcome out of his house.]]
-->'''Jimmy:''' Oh! You're here!\\
'''Scott:''' Jimmy...?\\
'''Jimmy:''' You're here, dude! This is...\\
'''Scott:''' Wh... where's here?\\
'''Jimmy:''' This is it!\\
'''Scott:''' This is it?\\
'''Jimmy:''' This... This is the end. This is it, dude. I was wondering when you were gonna turn up!\\
'''Scott:''' The after...?\\
'''Jimmy:''' This... this is... The end.\\
'''Scott:''' It's home?\\
'''Jimmy:''' Home.
* NightmareFuel:
** The concept of the red lives is unnerving by itself. At any time, anyone can die, and go from a peaceful player to a cold-blooded killer with as only goal to kill everyone on the entire server. Hope you were on good terms with them before they turned...
*** It's first (and arguably best) shown with Scar. For the entire time he and Grian have run the Desert, nobody has taken him or his offers of an alliance too seriously. The ''instant'' he goes red, however, some people are so terrified that they immediately go back to Scar to re-negotiate.
** The Desert (Grian and Scar) are a terrifying duo when they want to be. Especially after Scar turned red, Grian took it as an opportunity to go ham on everyone else, and with permission from Scar, laid a TNT trap that wound up killing ''three'' people. Not only that, after seeing that two more people have turned red, Grian proposed inviting them to the faction, renaming it "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Red Desert]]", and changing its goal to ''taking out the entire server.'' And all this was before Grian even lost his first life (which took until Day 7), meaning the single deadliest event on the server was caused not by a red player as everyone feared, [[ParanoiaFuel but a then-unassuming green player]]. Grian just goes to show that you don't need to be a red-name to be a threat.
* SignatureScene: The triple kill Grian gets from his TNT minecart trap on Day 4, primarily because it's the single deadliest (and therefore most impactful) event on the server thus far.
* {{Tearjerker}}: After [[spoiler:Skizz's]] death in his POV video, there's a flashback montage of the good times he had with others in the series while the audio is faded out, complete with a somber piano piece to really sell the scene.
** The ending of the series. Grian and Scar, who have been allies since the beginning, finally turn on each other, and Scar sides with Bdubs (the only other survivor of the epic battles that took place beforehand), costing Grian his second life. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Feeling remorse over what he did, Scar then kills Bdubs]] [[TheAtoner in an effort to make it up to Grian]], and begs Grian to kill him. Grian can't bring himself to do it, and the two fight to the death where their alliance truly began--the Red Desert, at Pizza's grave. Grian does indeed kill Scar, but there's no feeling of victory--just dread and loneliness. The SoleSurvivor of the series, [[DrivenToSuicide Grian decides to take his own life, and jumps off one of the Red Desert's mountains, dying on impact with the ground]].
* WhatAnIdiot: After Grian's TNT trap turns out to be a dud, a bunch of people decide to go disarm it. Scott tells them to stay far away from the bomb and shoot it with arrows to destroy the TNT minecarts, but has to leave to stop Grian and Scar from destroying [=BigB=]'s house, leaving Ren, Skizz and Jimmy to deal with the bomb.
** '''You'd Expect:''' Ren, Jimmy and Skizz ''to simply follow Scott's instructions'', keeping their distance from the bomb and shooting it with arrows to disarm it. No, really, that's all they had to do.
** '''Alternatively:''' They could have left the bomb alone, waited nearby and kept an eye on it until Scott came back to help deal with it.
** '''Instead:''' Ren and Skizz stand right on the edge of the hole, while Jimmy climbs in to get a piece of TNT that dropped right next to the bomb, even though Scott has made it pretty clear the bomb is still a threat. By doing this, he nudges the TNT minecarts and sets off the bomb.
** '''As A Result:''' Jimmy blows up himself, Skizz, Ren, and all of their items, putting everyone who died on their final life except for Ren (who hadn't died up until then).
