Probably "Just In Time", although the page seems to have suffered a bit of decay.
"Reality Ensues" is the trope Eliezer used. I'm not sure what the Defied Trope was, though.
I said Just In Time because that's the trope Eliezer was subverting by having the ships miss the deadline.
well, it's not in http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThreeWorldsCollide so you know what to do...
(I haven't ever edited this page myself for obvious reasons)
Done. (On reflection, it's less subversion than deconstruction in TV Tropes vocabulary.)
There's no rule against it on the TV Tropes Wiki. In fact, there's a whole category for Troper Works. However, if you just don't want to have TV Tropes Ruin Your Life, I won't blame you for staying out.
I thought it was considered tacky to mess with entries for your own things on wikis? (If it's not, time to go spam TV Tropes with links to my stuff... traffic, sweet traffic...)
wikis ≠ Wikipedia
TV Tropes is a buttload more informal than That Other Wiki. ;)
Go ahead and link away!
I'd say it's kind of an achievement to have something written about you in a wiki by someone who aren't you.
Strictly speaking, it's a signal of an achievement. It provides lots of warm fuzzies, but basically no utilons (beyond those intrinsic to the achievement it signals).
I think this 'strict' use is a distortion of the concept of achievement. This kind achievement is very similar in nature to other achievements and for most part, yes, the part we call an 'achievement' is primarily signal, with any utility beyond that just a bonus.
If you're using 'achievement' in the video game sense, sure. I assumed that 'achievement' meant achieving something that mattered; that is, utility.
It's probably good cognitive hygiene to keep the two as clearly distinct as feasible.
Is EY a troper? I haven't been looking.
Tropers are equal to awesomeness, and EY is equal to awesomeness. So yes.
Here I was assuming that tvtropes was about, well, TV.
