The badge descriptions in the tropies store at TVT
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/bshop.php (click the different categories to see the badges)
I don't have a problem with these cosmetic decorations being given to people who help support the site financially. I have absolutely no problem with this, and I think this is a cool idea.
But I am irked by the descriptions. Maybe it's the sometimes shoehorned presence of a description when none would be better. Maybe it's the font (which after a while looks worse than Comic Sans as far as unprofessionalism goes). But there's just something that bugs me about those descriptions.
I seriously think that the store would be a lot better without descriptions. Just name each and move on.
Also, Pluto is missing.

Trying to be witty or funny, and falling flat? Sounds like TvTropes to me.
Tropies pushed through?
If you have a criticism of TV Tropes, say it directly, so we actually have something to discuss. Don't just make snide remarks.
Thanks.
^^ I don't know what you mean, but if you're asking what "tropies" are, that's apparently the term for these badges. It seems to be used interchangeably with "badges".
Come to think of it, it might be a pun on "trophies".
You think?
I thought tropies were the "currency".
^ Wait you're right, i derp
"We put 1Þ in your account for each USD dollar donated. You can use those tropies to buy badges for yourself, or send them as gifts to other tropers. " but why
Because the badges don't cost even numbers of dollars. So that way, you have to buy more than you want.
They each cost 1/8 of ten dollars. I think your minimum buy-in is ten dollars. So you have to buy at least 8.
Donations to TVT are 20 dollars for each. I think that means you're only allowed to buy $20 at a time.
Yeah, guess you can't make a small tip.
On the other hand, when you donate, they turn off ads for you for a couple of months, I think.
No, this page says they're $10 minimum. Maybe the $20 is to turn off ads?
Probably. Actually, I think it's any donation.
@glennmagusharvey I couldn't get anything there. It said "Sorry, we couldn't match your login information".
