Great...now what's a trope? XD
Definition of "trope" is on the TV Tropes Main Page.

And if it was a meme {I think it is.}, it would have been a contradiction because he would have been telling MS to stop using memes, when he himself just used one, prior to MS' post.

Well, I guess that's hypocrisy, not Contradiction...
Still, I love that word =D
It's not a meme. And what's so Pringles about that word?

...I think....
Trope is, um, standartized plot device. For instance, Mute Protagonist (for example Quote) is a trope, because we see that in every other game.

What's not? :D
What is? In any case, "Objection!" is 100x cooler.

Maybe.
But Contradiction's still pretty funny =D
When used right, anyways...

Yes, I'm sure that's also a trope. If I wasn't lazy, I'd even find it on the site...

Corrected. Happy?!?

Yes. Of course.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this, the proof that darkness exists...

the abadoned house in the Sand Zone, where one of the dogs are hiding (the one where you can see six of the tiles, and the rest is darkness).

I hope this helps reviving the discussion.

Oh, and if the Yamashita Farm was on the outside of the island, the water puddle with the Life Capsule would stream off. And there's no waterfall there or so, so... evidently, the water stays in place.

OH!!!

Huh, that reminds me....
When Yal mentioned the Abandoned House, that brought my mind back to my first memory of the place...
...And I remembered how random objects were still visible... {Bits of sand, the Dog, Quote, Croc, etc.}

One random thought that popped into my mind was that, maybe Darkness and Light work backwards in Cave Story's world?
As in, Darkness chases away Light, instead of the other way around...
It'd explain the complete lack of light fixtures, because they'd only make Darkness O.o;
{If you think this is silly, remember: Floating Island, Living Core, Talking Rabbits, God-Making Crown}
{Or just read some previous theories :)}

Now, ignore this theory and explain why there are random visible objects in the Abandoned House... O.o;

It's because the room isn't dark, it's just painted black.
...
Nah, I'm kidding, it's probably because of lack of tiles or something.

By tiles, you mean the tileset?
Besides that obvious fact, what about more realistic views, ignoring game qualities?

Okaaaaaay, so the room is painted black in a very confusing manner.

Almost all places in CS are made by blocks.
Have you ever seen such some "natural" caves?
The most reasonable explaination is that those places are artificial.
And most of those blocks contained light magic which was from the creator of the island.
Maybe Jenka.
