YMMV / Star Army

• Badass Decay: Reforms in how damage and comparative weapon power were measured, as well as limits to fleet size has led to some of this. To be fair, it also leveled the playing field a little.
• Crazy Is Cool: The Freespacers live and breathe this trope, with their madcap aesthetic, complete disregard for conventions in design and heirarchy, and preference for good old fashioned nuclear weapons.
  • When played as suffering from acute Testosterone Poisoning, Nepleslians tend to be this as well.
    • Case and point, "Unconventional Maneuvers": The promotion of one Rico Sanroma when he kicked an opposing marine in the groin during simulations.
  • Player Character Luca Pavone deserves special mention, for consistently delivering awesome storylines for years.
• Genius Bonus: Much of the appeal of the site is that it's well-defined and full of well-read and intelligent writers. Many players who leave after a long time return because the established setting prevents a lot of the issues that can arise in PlayByPostGames.
• Memetic Mutation: "You would understand too if your head was crammed full of wires."
