l_the_fangirlAttention, Tv Tropers and other people who want Bliss Stage memes to spread, thereby making people google Bliss Stage, and subsequently buy it, giving Ben Lehman the money he richly deserves!
I am searching for examples for a new entry on TV Tropes, the text of which is below:
Mambo Intimacy 5
"A little bit of Yukiko in my life!"
"A little bit of Meredith by my side!"
"A little bit of Laura in the sun!"
"A little bit of Anna all night long!"
"A little bit of Sara -"
"- This is the point where you can officially SHUT THE FUCK UP, Keenan!"
- Keenan Caine from Bliss Stage shows us how it's done.
So you're playing a game that for whatever reason rewards you for pursuing a romantic partner. All well and good: increasing Relationship Values that have beneficial effects, some game-mechanical in nature, others less so, has a long and time honored place in games about relationships.
But what happens if you get these bonuses for each relationship you establish, instead of for having a single relationship?
Then the game is encouraging you to dance the Mambo Intimacy 5, that's what! In these games, the ultimate path to power is rolling every relationship up into a massive Love Dodecahedron.
Named for the song Mambo # 5, which describes the bevy of girls that the singer has enjoyed the company of, and for Level Up At Intimacy 5.
Examples -
* The only stats you have in Bliss Stage are Relationship Values - if you can get high-Intimacy, high-Trust relationships in most of La Resistance, you're unstoppable in your Empathic Weapon Humongous Mecha.
* Thousand Arms, Or So I Heard. (Having not heard of that game, could someone explain why?)
----
Please post your examples, if you have any.
That is all.
