	'''''Golden Waffles'' - ''' To celebrate certain financial milestones in each show (such as breaking even and paying the cast), the cast members honor a randomly selected viewer in chat with a Golden Waffle. The winner chooses a song style and a theme concept (a favorite hobby, for instance), and Chris Ode, Christian Doyle, or Vanessa Postil (depending on who has time) compose the song and perform it on a future show.

	'''''Rapping'' -''' During episode 10, C.H.A.T took the presence of a presidential character as a perfect chance to stage a presidential rap battle with each player representing a different president. It was then we learned that given a few minutes' warning, Matt Vancil is bizarrely good at writing rap lyrics and performing them on the fly. Since then, C.H.A.T. has made a point of making him rap whenever possible, much to his chagrin.

			'''''Rule of Cool'' -''' As any good action film writer knows, some plans are too epic not to succeed. When the GM drops a Rule of Cool (made available through C.H.A.T.'s support), usually in combat, all of the players declare their actions at the start of the round, and C.H.A.T. votes for it's favorite. The winning action will automatically succeed, no matter how implausible. All of the other players must still do the actions they declared, but roll at a penalty.

	'''''Applesauce'' -''' When Chris Ode GMs, he often arrives at the studio hungry and a little too busy to stop for dinner. He has discovered that the studio's refrigerator often has some rather baby food-like packets of applesauce in convenient squeeze packets, and has become addicted to them. We maintain that applesauce and Sarah are two of the three cornerstones to his lasting happiness.

	'''''Breaking the GM'' -''' A show with as much chaos as Masters of the Metaverse, streamed live, inevitably slides into anarchy very regularly. After several sessions where C.H.A.T's meddling or the players' insane plans repeatedly broke Chris Ode's composure, chat made a game out of taking bets and counting the number of times the GM (usually Chris) breaks in an episode. Commonly accepted signs that the GM has broken:<br/>		'''''Breaking the GM'' -''' A show with as much chaos as Masters of the Metaverse, streamed live, inevitably slides into anarchy very regularly.

	'''''Seduction'' -''' Aquamarine has an uncanny ability to seduce pretty much everything. From guards to chicken golems, no being is too strange or inanimate to resist her charms. Other team members have also tried their hand at seduction with varying results, and viewers often joke that no Metaverse episode is complete without a ruthless or ~~inappropriate~~ seduction.

	'''''Boating'' -''' The oft disparaged skill of boating, first displayed by Richard Gatling in the Kingdom of Yosemite, it became a literal lifesaver when C.H.A.T. decided to flood a town and kill everyone...all to make a joke. When Christian Doyle dryly remarked that he didn't think he'd have much use for boating skills, the viewers responded by communally creating a hack attack and causing a flash flood, destroying most of the town infrastructure. Since then, boating has become legendary among metaverse players as a skill you think you'll never need, until suddenly you do.

			Boating has since come up several other times and always leads to the death of several NPCs, usually because of C.H.A.T.'s interference; members of C.H.A.T. have said that the mere presence of a boat in the party's vicinity is a harbinger of death and destruction.

	'''''Swarm Form'' -''' Bombshell 3.0 is always in swarm form~~...seriously~~, ~~just ask her~~.		'''''Swarm Form'' -''' When playing Bombshell 3.0, Sarah quickly figured out that the character gains tremendous bonuses from being in swarm form in certain situations. How she magically manages to always be in swarm form at the beginning of combat, despite being in regular form right before is a mystery for the ages, rather like how superman can become completely unrecognizable by putting on a pair of glasses and compressing his spine.

			'''''The Great OD - ''''' We have the best GM on Metaverse, so it is only right to praise him as such.


	'''''Using Your Attributes'' -''' When Sarah, and now Maggie, get nervous or flustered about coming up with an action in combat, they tend to do something called using their attributes. This means that they start listing off the skills and attributes on their character sheets in a search for something that will work in the given situation. It's kind of like trying to guess someone's PIN by randomly inputting numbers.

	When setting up the stats for the character Richard Gatling, Chris Ode had a few skill points leftover, so he tossed them into boating. The first several sessions saw the team in a midwestern desert town, and Christian Doyle dryly remarked that he didn't think he'd have much use for boating skills~~. The~~ viewers responded by communally creating a hack attack and causing a flash flood, destroying most of the town infrastructure. Since then, boating has become legendary among metaverse players as a skill you think you'll never need, until suddenly you do.

Their number one hit single "Bubblegum, Parachute, Flex, Dab, Vape" is coming soon, possibly even with a music video.

	During a session of combat in episode *, Matt declared he would defeat a foe by flying Johnny Legion and his clones up to catch a falling giant piece of chewed gum, stretch it out into a net to capture the monster, then celebrate the moment with a quick flex, dab, and a puff of e-cig--which quickly got shortened to the mnemonic "Bubblegum, Parachute, Flex, Dab, Vape." Christian started joking that it sounded like a cheesy boy band pop song, and...well...

When the metapilots joined the Project, Project operatives made sure no one would ever look for them; Aquamarine was furious to discover how easily Sapphire took over her role.
