Welcome to the Sliding Scale Wiki! Inspired by this forum game, this is the wiki where we rank trope extremity on arbitrary number scales. For example: TV Tropes Rating - How much this site has affected you. * 5 - My life has improved greatly as a result of this site. * 4 - Tropes Are Not Bad; this site has had a positive effect. * 3 - A neutral effect, or no effect at all. * 2 - Tropes Are Not Good; a negative effect overall. * 1 - My life is ruined. It doesn't have to be this type of scale, of course. It can be any number system you want to use. Base ten, anyone?
