It's animated and hosted on YouTube so I'd say pretty clearly Web Animation.

Can we move the War Hams examples to a new page for the War Hams group's new group name, Narrative Declaration?

Seems like it's the End of an Era now boys, hopefully it won't mean the definitive end for the series.
Everything Sucks Forever
I removed the following for being Square Peg Round Trope, but I'll save it here for later in case there's a place where the explanation contained in it can actually be used relevantly, since there's a lot of information there.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Surprisingly Subverted in regards to the Chaos Gods. Episode 19 is essentially about noting that all four Chaos Gods are the collective sum of all emotions, not just the negative ones, even if they prefer showing off the latter.
- Tzeentch: A cruel, devious trickster, but he's also a force of progress, and a beacon of hope. Change is neither good nor evil, after all, and while without him there would be no malicious schemes, there would also be no-one clever enough to save people from those schemes.
- Nurgle: An inevitable cycle of decay and renewal without change, yet also represents the resilience, resolve, and solidarity to face those same, unsettling inevitabilities. Without him there would be no consistency, safety, or comfort in living or dying; and he is essentially nature incarnate.
- Khorne: A force of merciless might, mindless slaughter and hatred, but that's because he proscribes to "survival of the fittest": strength and skill are all that matter to him, and he represents justice, vengeance and honor, so unlike the others he would never try to trick or stab a person in the back.note Without him there would be no honesty or strength to fight against injustice.
- Slaanesh: A horrifying, cruel, tortuous fiend that breaks the mind and inflicts untold suffering, but they also exude just as much joy, freedom, expression, and happiness; representing emotional extremes ranging from joyful freedom to crippling suffering. Without them, there would be no happiness, and no grief to make the happy times mean anything.
(Always Chaotic Evil is about a whole species etc. being evil, so four evil individual gods having conceptual connetions with good things is not a subversion or anything of it.)

I am not particularly opposed to this, as the pages of Alfa Legion and TTS are separate, but I'm just not sure if War Hams is big enough yet for there to be a full page.
I’m not sure… In the past three months, it has five episodes, with the almost certain possibility that there's more on the way.
So what the hell happened to the AC text that is suddenly has our work turned into a seizure-induced warp storm? Is there any way to make it work without those horrendous line breaks or are we gonna have to figure out a fix/solution?

It's a recent bug that has been notified. Like many known bugs, though, it may takes a long time before it is corrected, if ever. Maybe we should start looking for an alternative format to the Emperor (as well as Death) speech.
Ah, that explains it. Also I'm not sure if that's also a bug or if it's just TV Tropes interacting weirdly with my Korean computer, but your link doesn't work and I'm also seeing a bunch of won() signs around apostrophes here in the forum.
Does anyone know how to adjust the small caps used for the Emperor's speech? I dunno if it was always like that, but it still looks seriously awkward how they break the lines the way they do. Is that inherent to the system or did something change recently?
Edit: Sorry, didn't know there was already a topic for this.

Under "Breaking the Fourth Wall", "Later in the episode, Marneus Calgar orders that a non-canon character called Illiyan not get "any screentime"."
Illiyan likely refers to Illiyan Nastase, the Ultramarine "Chief Astropath" from the distant past of Games Workshop's proto-40K game, "Rogue Trader". Illiyan is notable for being a half-Eldar, half-human hybrid. This is really old 40K lore.
It also might need to be linked back to the Aluminum Christmas Trees. Seriously, it this was any older, it would have metaphorically predated mud. "Rogue Trader" was the original add-on pack for the original Warhammer game to take it from fantasy to space war. It in some ways, _was_ the founding 40K pack.

Technically, this is someone else. AB merely gave it a bump.
Though you got to wonder, they're crossbreeding products out of already existing fictional characters owned by different companies.
Hypocrite much?
Also, aren't they at risk of being sued from two companies?

Think anyone should bring up the cards that were used during TTS Short 5? With the fact that the Emperor dissed a Dark World monster (who, I believe, are said to actually be alright guys, just having dark attributes), complimenting the Fabled monsters (with the Fabled being light attribute monsters who are incredibly destructive and do not hesitate to kill anyone they want)? Or the fact that he used one of the Egyptian God Cards when the Emperor himself is an Atheist? Or that the emperor's deck seems like a chaos deck, since it seems to combine Dark World and Fabled monsters?
There is so much irony in this.

So, are we keeping the Emprah's lines Like this, with regular grammar but small caps, or ALL CAPS WITHIN SMALL CAPS, WHICH I PERSONALLY FIND IT KIND OF MISSES THE POINT AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL USE BOLD ALLCAPS? It'd be good to decide on the standard, I think

I'm for the former, since the latter looks like he's shouting, when he uses other methods to voice his displeasure. Other instances of machine speak use the former to.
Personally I'd like to get St Fan's opinion, he seems to favor the latter and I'd rather know why before proceeding.
I was trying to stick as close to the captioning as it is featured in the series, where indeed ALLCAP is used for the Emperor's text. I understand the use of the [[AC: markup to convey a mechanical voice, but it's a reinterpretation of what's in the show itself.
Hmm, true. Though the AC system looks MUCH better with regular punctuation, I find, in this wiki. That and it seems to stick to the Emperor's speech more, so it also comes to sticking to the subtitles, or the speech.
I'm advocating for regular Smallcaps punctuation, but if anyone else can pitch in it'd be good.
So I noticed someone has gone and changed all the swear words in the article from Fucking to Flakking. Was this really a necessary edit to make?

No, and I've edit banned them to explain this.

I want to unify all the references to the Caretaker/"Little Kitten". Any objections?
Hide / Show Replies
I don't mind which one it is, just that they're unified as much as possible.
I'm leaning towards Kitten, if only because that has been used in a title. Otherwise, I'd go with caretaker.

A quick question, shall we consider this a Web Original or Animation? Been getting mixed placements here and there...
