The 2’s A /co/ tourney is a single elimination tournament where teams of 2 duke it out for both the glory of being the best tag team as well as snazzy and horribly inefficient championship belts.
>Close but no cigar >Will prevent people not voting him because he won a tournament >Will have his show next year which will boost votes Mr /co/ 2021 is ours Ozzybros
We’ll Oswald my boy this hasn’t been a long journey hasn’t it. You’ve made it the furthest you’ve ever gotten. I must say despite losing the match I’m still proud of you. Who knows maybe this is a sign of a far greater chance next year. Goodbye Oswald and good job.
>>433866 There's a nonzero chance RPing is completely banned. Assuming it isn't though, yeah. Mr. /co/ pissed off alot of people and the only reason there wasn't more pushback this time is because fusefag ensured RPers had a majority.
Ms /co/ this year was the first big usage of RP ever, but it was way more contained.
I think the whole "No complex arcs or anything, essentially just each character is RPing as themselves in this election campaign against the other guy, with debate and question RP" thing would be way smarter then this fucking arc shit.
I'd much rather have a cartoon presidential election RP then this (often literal) shit.
>>433878 >No complex arcs or anything, essentially just each character is RPing as themselves in this election campaign against the other guy, with debate and question RP" thing would be way smarter then this fucking arc shit. This. RP is inevitable, but keep the storylines simple. A likes B. A hates C. A rivals D. A wants to do X.
Not character A's tragic backstory fuels him to search for magical amulet M to stop character V's zombie nuke from destroying the world all the while trying to dodge character C's many rape attempts.
Oh for fuck's sake, WALLACE?! That cheese-eating limey swooped in from nowhere and took my prize! Still... sixth is at least better than 8th, I suppose. Suck on that Bill, you triangular dickhead.
I suppose i'll just have to hope Dr. Mrs. The Monarch will find some satisfaction with a man who could only make it into the Top 6. Henchmen... to those that are still alive, anyhow... you've served me well. We must now see to the repairs of our Cocoon, and watch on with eager anticipation as we see who will make it to the finish line. Personally placing my bets on the frauds who defeated me in Hell, the Grinch may have succumbed to his inner good in the end but I can't not vote for a man who has termites in his smile.
Santa here again to say congratulations to those that made it into the finals you fought will your all and can’t out on top. I shall also congratulate the losers of last round in their exclusive race, even if you weren’t racing for much you still gave it your all and made it to the end. As for the losers of this round don’t give up hope yet as you still have one more race to decide which one of you gets to be third place. The final teams and the losing teams would be racing in the North Pole, the final teams would be racing my home while the losing teams would be racing to my workshop. Remember once this is all done the winner gets to wish on the Super Dragon Balls and make their desires come true. Once again this has been Santa and take care to all
>>433855 >Howard: It's finally here folks! The final two teams will go neck and neck in this final race! We have The North Pole Express versus the Fake Santas! >Kreese: These holiday hunks will race from the north pole all the way to Christmas town in their own sleighs! All the past competitors and the viewers will be waiting for them there as their race is broadcast in these cozy little elf bars! There can be one number one in this race to the end! >Howard: Well duh, It's a mathematical fact that there can be only one number one! >Kreese: For the last time Howard, no body said there would be math! >Howard: With that out of the way, racers are your mark, get set, GO!
>>433901 Same here. SCAM running over Strange is the closest to this event's wedding bash, spontaneous and random fun. Detectives have a way of being friendly to each other without being cheesy or taking their stuff too seriously
>The train rolls back into the cocoon and Pip and Grounder fall out, alive but hurt Oh dear! I've cracked me noggin again! >>433894 Oh joy, Mr. Claus! I've love the holoday spirit! Can we sing Christmas Carols to celebrate? >>433892 Well Master Monarch, did I do good in the battle?
>>433885 I might keep it so that Alastor is pulling strings in the /co/mmittee, but IMO if anyone wants to reset their character for possible rp next year then that's fine by me.
>Howard: After pulling the longest con in their lives, Miguel and Tulio are both put on the naughty list for trying to trick The North Pole Express! >Kreese: Big deal. I once pretended to be a god and I didn't get on the naughty list. >Howard: Yeah but you did get on the news. >Kreese: Hey, Kreese the great was a national treasure and they should have never slammed him on Channel 7 news!
As we're reaching the end and things slow down if you're willing to make a wiki page for a notable character you're more then welcome to https://mrmsco.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Characters
We beat him, burned him, used magic on him, yet he still kept kicking and screaming.
>I wonder how Felix even ended up this.
Mick we're on a strange competition where two pre-school stars who became terrorist, worshipped Osama, and tried kill us on one round. I think Felix becoming... whatever the heck he became shouldn't be a surprise... but it was still scary.
>Can't believe we had to blow up the kart in order to put an end to him.
I guess the kids were right on us having that missile launcher.
>Too bad we had to use it on ourselves though. It's going to be a lot harder to reach first place now.
....
>I'm sorry Oswald. I shouldn't have said that.
Nah Mick it's fine. It really is. I mean... we were so close to winning but then Felix had to come out of nowhere and ruin our gosh darn kart! Darn you Felix! Darn you to heck!!!
>Oswald! Calm down, please!
Oh yeah! It's fine for you to say that! Mr Don't Worry 'cause Everyone's a Winner! Calm down Oswald! It's only the respect of a niche online community. Well guess what Mick? I liked that respect!! It's the only respect and attention I seem to get!!
>Oswald.
WHAT?!
>I... I actually wanted you to win.
.....
>Listen I know you think that you got all that support because you only teamed up with me. But honestly I think all the people here were only voting for you to win. None of the people here probably acknowledge I was here, they wanted you to win. And gosh darn it Oswald I'm with those people! I want you to win! So come on Oswald!
Wh-where are you going Mick?
>I'm walking our way to finish line! I'm going to make sure you win! Even if I have to carry you myself!
Mick.... you know what? You're right! We can't give up! Let's run across that finish line!
>more successful PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME ON WHY AVENGER'S ENDGAME IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER DON, IF YOU BELEIVE REVENUE IS ALL THAT DETERMINES A SHOW'S QUALITY.
>>433913 Chris RPer here. There are some things i want to be non canon. Mainly everything that happened with Chris and Don during the last thread's ending.
>>433913 It could be something like continuity can be mentioned, but it should take second place to whatever’s happening next time around. I also agree that whatever RPing does happen should be mostly focused on campaigning, like the Monarch or SCAM stuff.
>Kreese: Jack and the Grinch steal the magic from the Power of Two! >Howard: That's gonna be an awkward talk between Mickey and Jack at the next Disney meeting.
>>433913 Tulio and Zone-Tan anon here. I don't mind whether we're doing continuity heavy arcs or just shitposting for the Hell of it as long as people are having fun.
>>433920 Oh, you want to talk about quality huh? Well then. just look at how many laughs the Venture Bros. gave people across the globe compared to Gravity Falls.
>Howard: For the Final stretch of the race we will be taking questions from the audience in this nice little bar in Christmas town! >Kreese: People who buy us drinks get top priority! >Howard: Oooo good thinking!
>>433927 I only did it to get that rape RP to be over and done with so i had to go above and beyond to stop it. And it worked. Although i do like the thought of Chris being Angel's pimp.
>>433916 Same here. It would not make sense for the RP to effect the actual tourney too much to the extent that some poor guy who wasn't there can't understand why keep joking that Batkek and Felix died from AIDS. For the intensive lorefags, just handwave it as the tourney existing on a different reality. What happen there stays there.
Hi, I'm Coconuts the Badnik, and I would like to apologize about my insensitive and unflattering posts Scratch tricked me into uploading.
I apologize to those dirty gas guzzling Autobots and Decepticons. I apologize to the weird talking British and their tacky outfits. I apologize to the Monarch empire's horrible fashion sense and their inability to avoid dropping like flies. I apologize to greasy and disgusting fast food. I apologize to sea creatures for the fact being boiled alive is too good of a fate for them. I apologize to old people. I'm sorry death is not here for you yet. I apologize to demons. It's not your fault you are a certain f-word I'm advised to not say again. God just made you disgusting that way. I apologize to the undead who are at least beautiful on the inside. And I apologize to Santa. Being a creepy pervert who breaks into people's houses is just a part of his job.
So with that, I hope to work towards being disgusted in you all a little less. I greet you all with this middle finger.
>>433855 >"He might have been going a little mad with power there at the end, but still I'm a little bummed Tulio lost. He may not have started out as a god, but he and Miguel definitely had style." >"Still, I can understand not being able to stop SANTA. He's practically a god too." >>433892 >"You did great, Mr. The Monarch! Wallace can be a pretty good inventor too, you shouldn't feel bad losing to him. I thought you came really far after all, congratulations!" >>433908 >"Oh! There's Pip! That was close, thought we would have to go looking for you. Glad you're mostly okay, why were you on a runaway train?" >>433894 >"I guess it feels pretty appropriate that the North Pole is the last track for three Santas. I wonder if they'll have a home-field advantage."
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been quite a week, hasn't it? We're entering the final round of the /co/ Tag Team Tournament. In just 24 hours, it'll all be over. But let's not worry about that right now. I believe we have some unfinished business that needs to be addressed. That being the results of the quarterfinals, of course!
The results are as follows: Mighty and Powerful Gods in 1st, Power of Two in 2nd, Fake Santas in 3rd, North Pole Express in 4th.
Back to the present! Round 6 took place in the wild hills of Peru, made even wilder by the undead army of King Ramses. No bombers this time, thankfully. Why am I speaking in past tense, you might ask? It's because the race ended hours ago! Let's see those results, shall we?
Looks like it's the North Pole Express in 1st and the Fake Santas in 2nd! What a matchup to take into the final round. Now normally I'd spill the beans on where the final round would be, but recent circumstances have made us reconsider this policy, and we've decided to keep it private for now. But do not fret, dear viewers, for all will be revealed tomorrow night when the final race has run its course! If you want to miss that, well then there must be something seriously wrong with you!
Signing off! ---------- Both winning teams (and a selection of trustworthy losers) would find a note in their hotel room that night.
"Book the next flight to the North Pole. Tell no one."
And below that, in blue ink(?):
"::::)" ---------- 1 North Pole Express 56.6 2 Fake Santas 54.7
>>433941 >>433952 Bill: What the hell are you doing in my hotel room Tulio. Tulio: It's over. Bill: Wh- What are you talking about? Tulio: I would only spare you if I won the race, and I didn't. Bill: Wait, you can't ju- Tulio: And by the way, Venture Bros is better than Gravity Falls. >Tulio sends Bill Cipher back to the Second Dimension
>>433952 They get chump numbers my man. My show gets billions and trlillibillions of views (in the website only) and gets pretty alright ratings. I also one two golden records for my hit #1 Jam
>>433880 >>433884 >>433887 >>433889 >>433893 >>433896 >>433898 >>433909 Perhaps a soft reboot? Keep the events from this year canon, but switch to a different set of characters? >>433895 definitely no more of this though. I was fine with 2020 being the year of the Monarch but I have my limits
>>433904 >>433910 HAH! You know what, I like Not-Chris. Definitely an upgrade over the original host, that's for sure. What's your real name again, Don? Good man. What he said Bill, also my show has quality AND quantity over yours. How many freaking people bitched about that finale you're so proud of? >>433944 I'd say clean dental hygiene is more integral my type of villainy, the Grinch goes all the way on making his appearance as grotesque as possible but I don't think I could even put out an evil laugh if I had a colony insects living in my teeth.
>>433908 From what I saw of it my young ward, yes. Yes you did. Saw more skeletons and peruvians die to dodgeballs than I see my own Henchmen being offed in a season. You've come far, Pip, proud to see you as part of the Cocoon. Though we may have both lost our families at a young age, I... I hope you might consider this place a home for you, child.
>>433951 Very much appreciated, 69. I guess there's not much left to do now than just sit back, fuck Ms. /co/ 2020 while we watch the fireworks fly tomorrow. Guess you were right all along, there really is no beating the power of that damnedable Clauses.
>>433948 ...guess we have one last job to do after all. Expect a visit from my right-hand man before this night is done, machine.
>>433948 Well Cocoanuts, I forgive you. I also apologize for the fact that your whole existence is nothing but a cum stain on this earth and that if you died right now my first instinct would be to party hard and also make your death sounds my ringtone. Do you forgive me?
>>433952 >>433956 Oh yeah? Well ZTV News gets quadrillions of views and my song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Fap" won me a Nobel Piece Prize. Please don't look it up, just take my word for it.
>>433955 So human you fail at winning, a shame since now I’ll be forced to destroy you. Now give me what is rightfully mine and maybe I’ll let you live.
Either way, assuming we're doing trios, going through each character that made elite 8 this year (besides top 2) and how they might pair next year since they can't be together >Oswald Can pair with Ortensia and one of his kids or Felix and another vintage character >Mickey Can do Minnie/Pluto, Donald/Goofy or other selections >Wallace and Gromit Might find a cheese-loving or dog group >Monarch Likely a Venture Bros team makes this easy >Master Shake Clear ATHF trio Mr. Krabs and Stan Pines , Alastor and Bill Cipher Also clearly can be part of a team from their franchise
Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday, everyone. There's just one more show after this one. Though there has certainly been a smaller audience this tournament, I think quality matters more than quantity, and you're all top-tier in my book. Hope you enjoy this tale of the tape!
There is one thing I've noticed with you rather recently, Mr Monach! Your heart might not have grown three sizes like the Grinch, but it has grown warmer!
>>433948 Hahahahaha! If you say so, monkey machine!
>>433962 Wait is quadrillions bigger then trlillibillions? If yes then I forgot to add the ^ at the end of trlillibillions. Also my songs have been considered to be the third greatest things in the infinite multiverse, second being mechanical pens, and number one being me
>>433960 What can i say? I know good entertainment when i see it. And your characters don't make me wanna slap them across the face, unlike that selfish sweater girl.
I just wanna state for the record the pro-BIG RP camp has an inherent edge here, on /co/ there'd be significantly more anti-RP pushback, most of them didn't follow over.
Yeah. I'd go back to no RP for atleast one tourny next year(probably ms /co/) and then maybe try Campaign Posting after that to see if it takes and people are fine with it still.
Even if you like RP, Mr. /co/ took it too far and got ALOT of people mad, I say we just make the next Ms. /co/ straight up no rp allowed to keep things calm, allow tensions to settle, and at next Mr. /co/ just try campaign posting.
Never this fucking arc stuff again, too many long running jokes burned out.
>>433978 Alot of the RPers here to me felt like they WANTED to do Writefaggery, but felt forced to do RPing, mainly the more rigid ones(Danposter comes to mind, his stuff was good, but it didn't handle changes or outside interference well, I'm pretty sure the main reason his endings sucked was because his original plan didn't work out)
>>433979 Well my songs have been considered the greatest thing in the multiverse, the DC dark multiverse, the omniverse, and every other multiverse there is. Plus, why would you use mechanical pens, when 1800s Quill Pens are clearly superior?
>>433994 Well uh… higher dimensional beings think my songs are the best. Even real life individuals that transcend fiction as a concept think they’re the best
>>433951 I went straight first into the fierce battle then I fail on the controls and the train went haywire. Mr. Grounder tried to help but his attempts only lead to the train moving faster. He said he was dreadully sorry after leaving the cocoon. >>433948 You call that an apology you......condemned.......filthy.......simian >>433960 Oh thank you Master Monarch! Thank you! I never felt a part of something! I wonder how all those kids who spit on me for fun feel now? And I mean literally spit on me. They would play games where they would see who could spit on me the most in the playground. Master Monarch sir, I have some anger I need to release now, can we kill the simian?
I am an RPfag, but I do my stuff as long as there's people who like it. If the majority are bothered with it and do not enjoy it getting messy and weird I'll just back off and stick to normal campaigning next year. Anyway, its a year off still and I think we should just try to enjoy the last part of this tournament. Place your bets on who is going to win, in character or just as anons
Hey guys I’m back from the dead and for some strange reason I feel like someone tried to scramble my brains. Anyway does anyone know where Megamind is?
>>434001 Oh yeah? Well celestial beings who transcend the real life individuals think that they're the best and they also think you're ugly and old like Captain Cold. So top that, Mr. THONG LAD!
>>434008 There has absolutely not been a ton of pushback, there's been a few negative comments about it in general but overall the reception has been confusion because people keep rping characters who either lose early on or don't even qualify and the plots get super fucking complicated.
>>434016 Come on I’m not old or ugly, I mean I do have a green tongue but that doesn’t make me ugly. Also way to call me "Thong Lad" when you don’t even wear pants, just a oversized sweater, I don’t even thing you wear any underwear.
>>433971 >"I admit, when you're right you're right. Hell looks great from a Denny's or a nice Hotel but on the streets people are so rude! And violent. And pushy, this one furry guy on the corner asked if I wanted to pay $50 to see a 'beast with twelve legs', which sounded neat but after I said no he kept asking over and over again! Then he called me a bad word and scuttled off." >"Skinny Santa and I managed to make it to the Hot Topic though, and mission accomplished I got something for Jack! I'm all set for presents." >>433958 >"Thanks Mr. Actual-God. Good luck in the race against Oswald next, making bronze would be pretty nice too. And maybe think over those plans for your franchise..." >>433960 >"To be honest, even I wasn't sure Santa would go all the way. I'm not surprised he beat us, but there were lots of good pairs to go up against. But the spirit of Christmas is strong this time of year, and Santa's probably getting all geared up for his run so maybe that's why he's in such a hurry on all these." >>434002 >"You went into it?! You really are a brave little guy. I only got close enough to pet one llama and then I got out of there, with the Cocoon blown up I think the Monarch was good with us staying out of it." >"I'm glad you're okay, but if there ARE any big battles tomorrow, which shouldn't be likely but I lost my ability to make promises here, maybe let that one play out, kay?"
>>434029 I know but Garfield wished for me to have a happy ending so used the last of powers to bring me back from the dead, also he brought me back to feed him when we go home. >>434017 Odie is currently with me in the spectators stand, did you forget he and Garfield were in the tournament? >>434018 Oh hey Megamind! How’s it been for you since I died?
>>434028 Well here's your answer as to whether I wear underwear or not. Now the real question is, do you wear underwear, or are those pants just a part of your body like your mask and boxing gloves?
>>434008 I'm fairly certain that's what the majority of anons did. The issue is that becomes the majority of the posts and no one bothers to post or browse the threads, and then silent majority complaints happen, if they still bother to vote.
>>434039 Throw around some drawfag ideas just in case. What are some situations that you see happening at the ending party that you would like pictures of?
Another idea to save the thread: since we now have two Santa competition, and so many characters have been made to suffer through the malice of writefags and RPfags, how about a themed prompt. What does your nominated team get as a gift for when this race is over? How do they react?
>>434035 Yeah obviously I wear underwear, why wouldn’t I? But the underwear is apart of my body. I’m not showing you them, I only allow the hottest of hot babes to see me butt naked and you’re clearly a B+ at best
>>433958 >>433960 >>433962 >>433971 >>434002 Fellow /co/mpetitors! For all of us that lost, we must not cry! Let us celebrate even making it in and let us bond, by killing the MONKEY!
>>434049 /co/ has a love/hate thing going on with it. They hate Mabel and hate that Hirsch pulled the plug because he found working with Disney frustrating which lead to what they think was a weak ending.
>>433971 ....I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about, Radio Demon. I'm as hate-filled and cruel and malicious as I've ever been. I do admit, I feel oddly content despite my blown-out Cocoon and my 6th place ranking, but that is NOT a sign I'm going soft here!
>>433982 You have pleased the Monarch this day, Don. I don't often apologize for being a dick, but I wish we had you over McLean from the start. Hence forth, you shall be added to the Monarch's eeevil Christmas Card list. It comes with coupons to many Guild approved stores and locations!
>>434002 I am happy to provide one to you. You told me your parents henched for me previously, and though your accent is familiar I still can't put a face to them. But if they did, then surely it was destiny you should come here. Also, remind me to pull up to your old school sometime, I'd love to 'meet' these kids. If you have anger built up within young man, remember what I've taught you: harness it! Make the simple-minded robotic ape fear you.
>>434032 Whatever reason the fat man has for doing as well as he did, it's none of my concern. I'll likely be rooting for the Grinch's car to pull it out, but all Henchmen are free to vote as they please. I've made it as far as I can, all that's left to do is pick myself and the shreds of my lair off the ground, call it a day, and plan for my next scheme to get back at my enemies. You should take it easy as well, enjoy the North Pole. Hell maybe even throw Jack Spaz-er another bone, I betcha the dork literally hasn't washed his cheek since yesterday.
>>434032 Ah "that!" One brave soul happened to mention a twelve legged beast like that to me, so I went to go see it! And golly, let me tell you, it's not all it's cracked up to be, ha ha ha!
>>434053 Perhaps not! But who knows at this point!
But boy, I ought to find one of those Christmas cards of yours for myself, Mr Monarch!
But that might be saved for tomorrow morning, as I am just about out of time for today!
I'll also bring in marshmallows and leftover not-so-spiked beverages of Wilkins Coffee for a big old campfire for tomorrow, so expect that, hehe!
Goooooooodnight ladies and gentlemen, and stay tuned!
>>434058 Again, Hilda and Twig RPer here. You should definitely watch Hilda or read the graphic novels, it’s a great show and franchise that deserves more support and love.
>>434070 The Hilda series was based on graphic novels though, besides you can get them separately for ten or twenty bucks. There’s only like six of them so far.
>>434080 It wasn't a surprise for me really. Even people on /co/ wanted the christmas meme fight. I personally think this final matchup is anticlimatic.
>>434082 Same person you replied to, Tom vs. Daffy was the opposite of anticlimatic. It was probably one of the best possible finales if I'm being honest. >Tom always lost in round 2 until then and Daffy did progressively better each year >Both characters had heavy thread support Beyond just the competition >Both characters are golden age >Both characters are known for their arrogance >Both characters are known for losing
With North Pole Express vs. Fake Santas, you don't really have that. They're not really similar, they're not really opposites, and it's not a weird enough battle to be funny or engaging. In terms of the threads, North Pole Express got a decent amount of support even outside rp but I rarely if ever heard about Fake Santas until the Quarterfinals. I don't hate either teams, Klaus is a good movie and I enjoy the Grinch, but I just don't like this finale.
>>434085 I suppose its thematic in the sense that the Grinch and Jack are both from a plot where the Halloween themed character replaced Santa Claus while Klaus is Santa straight and the underdog from a more recent cartoon. But it is weaker than Daffy and Tom cat
>>434087 Tom wearing a sash saying "Mr. /co/ 2020" and wearing a crown while mocking Jerry who's crying with a paper saying "We're sorry to inform you Jerry that you didn't qualify for the third year in a row, signed, Mr. /co/ judges"
>>434091 While I can't speak for Ms. /co/, Johnny Bravo and Captain America are such tonally different characters and Kronk vs. Grim is so batshit insane that it just puts a smile on my face
>>434058 I hesitate to say it because it's more than likely you have seen it, but watch Aqua Teen. Also, back Marvin the Martian and Master Shake in Mr. /co/ and Heloise from Jimmy Two Shoes in Ms. /co/
>>434068 Haven't seen the GN, but I watched the first season... I pretty much like it. Hope the second is good, I remember you told us it was sad too.
>>434096 Never watched Aqua Teen, tried to, bnut I got turned down by Master Shake's voice (the RP led me to believe it would be more serious a tone). Also will do!
>>434045 Actually, when i was RPing as Chris in hell i decided to help the detectives find Simon and Jack so i left a clue. They ignored me so i thought it would go nowhere but it's nice to see someone rolling with it.
>>433995 Writefaggotry is when you write an entire scene yourself, usually in prose. RP is when you play a single character and interact with other people who are also playing a single character.
>>434081 >>434082 North Pole Express and Fake Santas are both really good teams on their own though, I hate jojo and duck matchup autism as much as the next guy but I beseech you please soothe your nerves for once
>>434095 Yes, they kept calling it a meme pick and couldn't process the fact that there are people who like Fang as a character. I've never seen Primal but I voted for her because I think dinosaurs are cool.
>>434095 In the end she lost by less than 10 votes, so while there was a bit of vocal seething (coming from the same person most of the time) I think if she beat Monarch she could've won the whole thing.
>>434111 Yeah it's fine, something like this is very unlikely to happen again (unless Miser Bros win next year) so I don't see the point in changing the date.
MINIONS! Arise from your slumber, you lazy assholes, only eight more hours remain in the vote! The Monarch has no specific orders for you my nefarious followers than simply to click the link and cast your ballot. Whether it be for that fat-ass Klaus or the clearly superior classic master of naughtiness the Grinch, all I care about is seein-
Wait what the FUCK is this?! Who took this picture of my wife and that lazy hairball who keeps scratching up my recliner! More importantly, who decided to use such a picture for the finals rather than one with her freaking husband? I demand answers!
>>434123 Thanks. Like i said, someone else is rolling with it by having Eggman as Santa and Simon and Jack as his two elves. >>434131 That's OK. Who are you RPing as?
K: Ahoy there! Eugene Krabs here! Cofounder and co-captain of the SS Not Guilty! S: Stan Pines here, cofounder and co-captain of the SS Not Guilty. Boy, what a clusterfuck. K: You can always count on a late tournament shitshow to turn yer luck around! S: A big thanks to the guy who sent the undead army that overran the Peruvian prison and "acquit us of all charges". That was Garfield's arc, right? K: We're comin' to you LIVE in a prerecorded message aboard the SS Not Guilty! Filmed in an undisclosed location! S: Sent to ANOTHER undisclosed location where it'll be buried, sent back in time, and uploaded through 7 proxies on a time delay before it's broadcast.
K: We just wanted to thank ALL our investors one last time! Sorry for not takin' it all the way, folks. We blew all the earnings from our early success trying to buy a country, but all we got was this boat. S: But even then, thanks folks! When we say thank you, we MEAN it! Sea Crab and Man Incorporated couldn't have made it this far without ya. K: Elite 8! S: We made sure to at least finish the race for you all before we set sail, just so you could make a little something back for your trouble. Had to do it on foot though, but at least we were able to beat that slowpoke Bill! K: Apologies again fer hittin' that large exotic bird, Mr. Pines. S: Uh, right. Bird.
K: Anyway, if there's one thing we all learned this holiday season, it's to always, ALWAYS, watch out fer Santa! S: Fake Santas too! Polls close in less than 9 hours. Remember to vote for one these teams, or Santa WILL come turn you in to the feds! K: Well, we need to go off the grid now. So this is goodbye until next time, loyal SCAM investors! S: Sorry about the world economy! K: And as always, I'm Sea Crab! S: And I'm Man!
Goooood morning, folks! This is Alastor, reporting to you live from the North Pole and carrying two packs of hotdogs! Though I did say marshmallows last time, it seems that the ones I was going to take in have already run off! Squirmy little buggers, they are, but any good host knows to keep a back up!
>>434132 Mr Monarch! Have you ever considered the possibility that Jerry is in your recliner, hence why Tom the cat keeps on scratching it?
>>434136 My, how polite of them! Shame there’s the possibility that they may not make it in for next year!...Unless they’ve got some good friends in a high place!
>>434133 GOT YOU! Did you think you would get away with this?! Henchmen, bring him to me! He will not rest until he's corrected his error and drawn a darling Christmas photo of me and my wife that's twice as detailed and thrice as elaborate!
>>434135 Grrgh... no need to remind me who is Mr. /co/, Chef. I am astutely aware of how the feline memed his way to the gold. I will even admit the picture is 'cute', but where is MY picture with my darling honey blossom?!
>>434138 ...oh shit, a rat in my recliner?! Gah, fuck, that's disgusting! Why did you put that idea in my head Alastor?! IF that is his intent, that would explain why he's so enthusiastic about it, but I think you're giving that cat too much credit. I'm more convinced he does it because he's a cat, and all cats are dicks.
Also, yeah don't worry you're on the Christmas Card list. You've been anywhere between neutral and helpful across these things.
>>434144 Well you see Monarch sir, I was commissioned on behalf of the /co/mittee, they wanted a Christmas card with this year's winners, you know? And half of the funds went to the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinators Conservation Fund. I don't think I can get something done with you and your wife before Christmas, but I'll see what I can do.
>>433908 Uh no Christmas Carols from Santa today. I’ve got a really angry lizard(?) at my door. >>433951 Who knows really, this could go either way here. >>434088 Mao who? I only have my two elves here.
>>434144 Wonderful to hear! After all, what kind of verified lead of the /co/mmittee would I be if I acted more rough on you and the teams?
Now, did you bring anything for our little bonfire, that which I ought to mention is SPECIFICALLY made from the fires of Hell itself? I've gotten the cylinders of fresh meat for hotdogs and WOULD have brought marshmallow-y substances if they didn't run off on me! Meh, I'll gather them all up later, and save them for the Hotel!
>>434135 >>434139 >>434142 >>434154 Is that.....oh Beloooooos! Chef! Santa number 4! And for you, Dastardly, if you can hear me all the way up there!
>>434157 Drat! Seems we will have to play the waiting game before we spring our trap. Keep your eyes, ears, and nostrils open, Muttley. They must show up sooner or later if they so insist on being touring themselves around this race. *Hangs up* Now.. back to discussing business. I know it's less than a week until Christmas, and you have a busy schedule, but. just for you, I gave your elves a temporary vacation, and had my own workers fill in for them. Much more efficiently I add. When this is all over, you'll be thanking me. That is of course, if you play along...
>>434154 >"H-he-ey S-santa. The N-North P-P-Pole is c-colder than I t-thought, w-w-what happened t-to all that c-climate change?" >>434138 >"W-wooo-h-h-hoooo! T-t-time for r-racing at the N-north P-pole! I-I'm really t-torn on who to r-root for between the S-santas.... h-hey I'm g-going to get c-close to that bonfire now thanks-!" >>434147 >"Sweet Christmas, that's looking great! Can't wait to see how it looks when it comes out." >>434132 >"OH MY GOD LOOK AT TOM! He has little antlers on that is so freaking cute I can't even-!"
>>433855 Wow, genuinely thought there'd be a push to not get this finale but really glad it did. Jack did pretty well on at least one Mr. /co/ and Grinch is no slouch. Also, super happy Klaus and Jesper made it this far, but I'm more happy their wins got more people watching their movie.
>>434164 I don't even remember the plot of the semifinals. I recall a lot of rape, the black laterns crashing into the cocoon with a train, Pip and Blacksad going on murder sprees against them, and a runaway train.
>>434169 >I recall a lot of rape There was? > Pip and Blacksad going on murder sprees against them The undead. Not the Black Lanterns. Well, Blacksad anyway. I recall Pip throwing dodge balls at something, and I guess that was the Black Lanterns
>>434168 Oh, hush! You're starting to get even more annoying than my dog. Now if you want all those good little boys and girls to get their gifts, you better do what I tell you or they'll be stealing their parents' credit cards and blow your coal budget!
>>434163 To you it might still feel cold but to me and my jolly crew feel that heat going up tremendously. The reason is probably because you’re not used to the cold like us.
>>434146 >>434147 The Monarch Butterfly and what the hell are you talking- oh, wait. Right, right, the environmentalist thing the Guild was encouraging us to participate in. My wife mostly handled the paper-work on that but, definitely a worthy cause.
You've stayed my wrath for now, artists, but know this! If the Monarch does not see one good picture of him and his wife in Christmas themed merriment before the end of the weekend, you will both be fired. Out of a CANNON. Get to work!
>>434159 I would have brought frog-legs to roast on the fire and the blood of my enemies to quench our thirsts, but sadly there is a goddamned TRAIN where my Cocoon's galley and kitchen used to be. I have no idea what Chef has been working with since then but I think I'm better off not knowing. So, unless you feel like Chinese the only thing I have to put on that fire is Tom. Hand me one of those wieners though, I could use a bite.
>>434163 As I said, yes, it is kind of 'cute', as sickening as the word is to me. But all the same THAT SHOULD BE ME WEARING THOSE REINDEER ANTLERS! ME!
Maybe YOU brought something to chew on and heat up with these flames? Because the only things I've seen brought in are the meat cylinders, white bread and metal roasting sticks!
>>434180 A certain /co/mittee says that any winning animal contestants are NOT to be served as food while other contests!
But sure, take one! These wieners are right over there on the platter!
>>434178 There IS Santa number 4 over there, but no sir I haven't seen the hide or hair of anyone named "Sandy!" Maybe you could be more specific, Mr Skellington?
>>434174 >"Ooooh. That makes sense, you live here all the time so what's cold to me probably feels hot to you. I can't believe it's supposed to be even colder here!" >>434175 >"Yeah, I don't think I can move too far from the bonfire. I don't get it, I thought for sure my hat and a little wool lining under my costume would be warm for sure!" >>434178 >"He's right over there, silly!" >>434154 >"I can understand how you missed him, has to wear a smaller suit this year cause of global warming."
>>434181 Well, he’s as stout as a good gourd, with a suit blood red and decorated with fur! He also has a booming voice and a beard as white as my bones!
>>434182 They cute, but they don’t help against the cold if you’re bare legging it. There’s a pair of pants in the ship if you want em, I had a hunch this would happen. I dunno if they fit though.
>>434187 WHAT? If I wasn’t Santa why would I have the tournament prize right here? Why would I be filming videos of me proclaiming to be Santa? Why would I have elves? Why would I have presents for all the good boys and girls?
>>434186 >"...nah, I'm good without 'em. I'll just try and stay close to the fire. Or maybe take a little fire with me somehow? I'll figure this out." >>434187 >>434188 >"Waaaaaait a second... something is a little off here. Santa, did you dye your mustache or something?" >>434181 >"Oh crud, we were supposed to bring food? Usually Chef handles all that. I got some candy in Hell when I went shopping, can I trade that for a few marshmallows?" >>434180 >"Okay, THAT is a picture I'd like to see, is you with reindeer antlers. I'd pay money."
>>434178 *Jack won't be able to find the elves either by the way. Where could they be?* Meanwhile, in some closet somewhere. MPPPGHHHH! MFFFFFF! MPPPGHHHHHH!
>>434189 Uh… yes, it’s the new fashion style and as I said before I’m innovating with my image. >>434190 Just the regular kind. In fact I got one here for you.
>>434181 Right, kind of figured your hands were tied on that. Stupid privileged flea-bag, cuddling up on MY wife... I guess there is also Fang but, good luck negotiating with the neanderthal on dino-steaks for dinner.
>>434181 >>434185 Thanks again for the weiner. I tell you, I have NOT had a good roasted wiener in a while, used to get these more when I was a kid but they just don't do them like this anymore.
>>434189 Yeah well, naturally it'd be a one time viewing event. Second Santa comes and goes we burn every remaining copy. Pretty sure you can sympathize with not wanting embarrassing photographs floating around the Cocoon.
Other than Santa 4 and the two other santas besides yourself, I haven't seen him!
Maybe he got himself lost, that jolly old fellow!
>>434189 It just would've been polite! But there's no rule saying you HAVE to share!
>>434199 There's sticks on the right for roasting! Just DON'T try to catch anything on fire...especially the wieners. Let me tell you that hellfire roasts things up MUCH quicker than the fire that comes from this world!
*Dastardly's robots have filled in for the elves at Santa's workshop. They seem to really enjoy putting the presents together. Not as much as Muttley enjoys making stacks out of them to dive into as well as helping himself to the family pet bone gifts he finds.*
>>434192 >"Don't worry Jack, my legs stopped changing color after I got close to the fire. >"Can't wait to see your gift! I just have to wrap yours up here too, I got you something goooood." >>434192 >>434194 >"Hmmm, that DOES seem like a pretty bold fashion statement. I don't know Skinny Santa, he does seem to have a lot of presents. Jesper taught me you shouldn't look a gift Santa in the mustache." >>434199 >"N-no need to worry about me sir! Just my eyeballs are good enough, the memory is all I need!" >>434206 >"Well, you can have some anyhow. They taste pretty good but every single time I try one I think I feel my soul burning a little."
>>434212 Well for starters I don’t even own a cat as the only living things in this place are me and my two elves and I’m pretty sure none of my elves are cats. One of them has an addiction to numbers while the other seems pretty calm. If you want to know where I got them it’s simple, I found the two in the middle of nowhere infected by a sort of virus, luckily for them I have a natural immunity to that virus so I was able to whip up a cure in no time. After that they wished to repay the debt so became my elves.
>>434223 >"Jack, do I LOOK like I need them?" >"Please answer fast I miss the bonfire." >>434225 >"Yeah, besides the soul-indigestion they're pretty tasty! Haven't been able to pin down a flavor though, it's like a mixture of strawberry and... something really immoral."
>>434230 >>434235 >"Oh my gosh Jack if you love pants SO much, why don't you just #$@%ing marry them?!" >"I'm going to take my completely warm and non-frostbitten legs back to the bonfire because I want more marshmallows. Not because I think I'm losing feeling in my toes."
>>434256 >Christmas album >Contains dead Krampus, Adorabat crying over Mao Mao and Badgerclops, Monarch being spanked, and Krabs being arrested for killing Dr. Strange
>>434259 Now Jimmy, before I slam your head on the ground repeatedly to turn your brains to jelly I want for you to say the iconic phrase "big mcthankies from mcspankies" to at least redeem yourself before you die.
>>434248 >"...I know you are. I'm sorry I snapped like that, I didn't mean it." >"I'm just... I don't need 'em okay? I'll find a way to keep warm. The fire's nice!" >>434249 >"Tentacles have an agenda beyond keeping you warm. No thank you ma'am." >>434250 >"YOU MADE PANTS SENTIENT?!" >>434239 >"Mr. Krampus, NO! Why does this keep happening?!"
>>434098 For the late response, but yeah the second season is pretty fantastic. It has it weak moments but the pros outweigh it cons, not to mention certain episodes like “The Old Bells of Trolberg”, “The Fifty Year Night”, and “The Deerfox” are just plain beautiful. I highly recommend it if you like the first season.
>>434264 Okay, just seriously try to stay warm. Anyway, since I got two gifts for you, here’s the first. It’s something I made myself! >It’s a pair of laser guns designed after pistols, painted pink and white and made of the same plasma weaponry the Jackbots use I made em since the dart guns the Monarch supplies for you are literally just modified bb guns
>>434106 Only a handful of people posted JoJo memes and JoJo memes weren't the only reason people voted these two. Did you forget Tomchads, Duck Gang, and post your favorite Tom and Jerry or Daffy Duck short?
>>434206 Oh please, Alastor. You're talking to an old master of the dog. Just give them to me and I assure you they're be plump and red and delectabl- AH SHIT MY GLOVE!
>>434253 Pip, my boy, come here. I had a question I wished to ask you. I have not forgotten how you gave up your Christmas wish for me and, well... seeing as how we're at the North Pole and all I wanted to see if there was anything I could get you to make up for it. Purely as an exchange of favors! So, spill it kid, what do you want?
>Okay, gotta go now thanks to my parent’s anniversary. >See you guys later, probably after resulrs >>434280 ... Wow, you’re pretty late there, Handlebrows
Well, now that Ramses has been slowed down, let's make our way to the North Pole. If this works, Ramses will cease his reign of terror and get his son back.
>>434273 My fellow /co/mpetitors! You sure you don't want to get in on this Christmas beatdown of coconuts? It's fun. >Stabs Coconuts >>434264 >>434275 >>434292 Gwen? Jack? Alastor? Come on.
>>434275 >"Ooooh, guns! I like guns! Lemme at 'em!" >"Wow... this is really nice Jack, thank you. The Monarch's pistols CAN be a little on the cheapie side. These look like they have some actual kick, and you even knew my favorite colors." >"And you got me two?! You're way too nice, I only got you only one. And, I also have to confess it was kind of last minute, I didn't know you were getting me a present until the Quarterfinals. But I went shopping in Hell and I think I found something you'd really go for. Merry Christmas!"
>>434284 >>434285 >>434286 Dante Scout JC Denton Raiden Vergil Miles Edgeworth Travis Touchdown Jetstream Sam People are now divided due to not wanting a Dante vs Vergil final and not wanting MGR having a character to win two years in a row.
>>434305 >"Yeah, and let me tell you it was a day and a half just getting to it. I'll tell you all about it later, but first, open it up!" >"I hope you like what I found there!"
>>434322 *Desperately fights off the voice in his head. The sight of Dastardly's airship proves to be a beacon for the Pharaoh. Soon, he comes into sight of the home of Santa.* Must... be there... will have... revenge.
>>434298 >"Hmmm.... Coconuts IS kind of a jerk, but I don't know. Do you think he's had enough, this kinda seems like kicking him while he's down." >>434316 >>434317 >"The clerk called it 'The Right Hand of Doom'! Do you like it?! I know you collect those magical thingies you told me about, and this looked like the coolest, ancientest, Helliest artifact in the store. Plus it matches your hair!"
>>434324 Most of Ramses' army was defeated, and I slowed him down with an alpaca stampede. Weekly killed his son, but we have a plan on bringing him back to life so Ramses will stop fighting.
>>434338 Put that away! Darn, I really need to find Simon so that he can bear the brunt of the gay jokes... Speaking of which, does anybody know what happened to his mom?
>>434288 >>434293 >>434311 >>434315 *The detectives' presence did not go unnoticed. As a distant, onlooking figure notices their presence, and immediately opens his communicator.* WOOF! WOOF WOOF! WOOF!
>>434339 That wouldn’t even be Godzilla’s weirdest ability, he once took over the body of the baby of the man that killed him and then proceeded to stone the mother to death
>>434340 Oh, Dad. Chris hired us to track down his missing ancestors again, and he hinted they were at the North Pole with some doctor. I kind of forgot to tell you.
>>434344 >he once took over the body of the baby of the man that killed him and then proceeded to stone the mother to death What? Does Mao Mao need the attentions of this maniac?
>>434345 Excellent! We are just going there! Two birds with one stone! Though for Simon's sake I kind of hope the doctor's a psychiatrist. >>434348 Let's just say that when all this is over Spidey's going to get it. >>434350 Lay off Grace. Don't you have a demon transvestite to further corrupt?
>>434287 Damnedable site with its damnedable lack of a auto-refresh or update feature! Alright, see you have in fact managed to squirm your way out of that one. I'm confident you'll find another way to screw this up boy, mark my words.
>>434336 Ah, come on, kid, you're going to make this super-villain's eyes start to leak. Well, if beating up the simping simian will make you happy, it's a start. God I love seeing a boy getting so enthused about crushing your opponent while he's down. Plenty more of these will be coming our way my lad. >>434298 Shake's getting in on this too eh? Well sure thing, we'll make it a good old fashioned Christmas beating. Hell let's get some more in, 21! 24! Get over here!
>>434292 FUCK! Okay, shit, ow... my precious roasting hand. This hellfire you spoke of may be something different than I'm used to after all. Hey, Alastor, Pip found a fun way to pass the time until the race, wanna help us kick this robot's ass? Or are you too detached from such mortal pleasures by this point?
>>434354 Lay off! She's super sensitive about that! >he doesn't want a husbando with atomic radiation powers and telepathy capable of worldwide destruction If your liking for Samantha didn't prove your shit taste, this right here does. Poor Mao.
>>433937 >Howard: Most likely yes. The jannie should be fired by then and we'll be able roam free on the motherlands of /co/. >Kreese: if not, we can just come back here and shoot the shit.
>>434329 Th-that's right. C-cower you pantsless whore. >>434358 Fuck......you >Shoots at the Monarch >The shot misses and hits Jon Arbuckle in the skull instead
The North Pole looked as it did in all the Christmas specials: a seamless blend of cozy cottages and futuristic implants used to facilitate the yuletide process. The air was abuzz with pre-Christmas fervor, though this year St. Nick had been replaced by St. Robot-nik, and the elves were cast aside in favor of mechanical workers. They were not of Robotnik's creation, however, yet this fact raised very few red flags for reasons that should be obvious. Robotnik is using robotic workers? Say it ain't so! Next you'll tell me that the sky is blue! (This should also raise red flags, as the sky was purple that night.) Far more ominous was the hefty AIR DICK hanging above the town square. From within, foul fiend Dick Dastardly eagerly awaited the moment he could put an end to this race once and for all. He was like a child on the night of Christmas Eve, his eyes and smile both wide with excitement. The robots down below were his, and he had already done away with the big red. If all went according to plan he would have the winners and those pesky detectives in his grasp. But let us close the curtains on this pitiful display, and turn our attention towards the ground once more. Among the grand buildings composing the North Pole skyline was a dining hall. Originally used as a...dining hall, it was now repurposed to serve as a...dining hall. Alright, let's give this another shot. Originally used as gathering place for elves, it was now repurposed to serve as a lodge for the few losers invited for the finale festivities. And though I say few, there were more contestants invited than excluded and several outsiders on top of that. The crows gorged itself on an early Christmas feast, a feast of roast beast accompanied by every festive dish one could imagine. No sweets though, those were for later. At the far end sat a mighty throne, reserved for the winners of the final race. The bright velvet was as enticing as it was eye-catching. Many had tried to sit in it, even for just a moment, and all but one had failed. The one successful sitter was Secret Squirrel, who described it as "uncomfortable, but with a great view". Among the crowd was a man who avoided all manner of description aside from the headset he wore. He made his way towards a recording booth stationed in a remote area of the hall, parking himself on a swivel chair and turning on a large screen that displayed a feed of the racers. And then he spoke. Gustav Holst - Jupiter "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final round of the 2020 Tag Team Wacky Races!"
>>434376 >"It's also still cold over out there and I don't wanna leave the bonfire. You wanna fight we'll do it someplace warm." >>434353 >"I'm so so happy to hear that! I thought you might like it!" >"At first I wasn't sure if it was real or not, it didn't seem like something you'd find in a Hot Topic, but the guy told me it was 100% legit one of a kind." >"Between the price, the security, and all the evil voodoo vibes it gives off, I'm pretty sure it is."
Thanks, Gwen. I’ll use it to conquer the world in your name... Oh speaking of, here’s this as well. >He hands over the box containing the Action Comics #1 with Gwenpool in place of Supes
>>434397 Just pretending to be… Jon he’s out getting his wedding prepared… despite everything they did… they still deserve true love. My last wish is for them to be safe… please… for me… >DIES
>>434379 Hey, suit yourself, but the Monarch always says it isn't Christmas until someone gets their shit pushed up their chimney. Maybe after Spicer and 69 finish their gay little gift exchange and stop trying to make me vomit they'd be in on some of this.
>>434358 >>434388 >>434397 HA! Nice aim, chimp, guess Robotnik skipped a few corners with you- Wait... what the hell!? Jon fuckin' ARBUCKLE is Superman!? But every single one of my resources assured me it could have only been Bruce Wayne!
>The race is going neck in neck, oblivious to the chaos below. Moon knight, Badgerclops, Blacksad and Weekly are all fighting for their lives against the never ending tide of Dick's robots. Soon one sleigh will touch down, and claim the right to call themselves the only real Santa Clauses...
>>434384 >>434395 >>434402 It's ok guys, I'll use a new trick I learned from someone I'm very close to *AHEM* AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS! >A black beam of energy takes out the majority of the robots
>>434393 There were more deaths in other thread's. We probably have amassed like 20 kills. I want to make a meme at the end but I need a complete kill list
Image:160851533525.png(1.08MB, 1600x676)Scorpion Bot Close Shot.png
>>434415 >>434416 *It's a majority, but there seems to still be a sizeable amount left. When you're done, you'll almost certainly have broken a sweat or too.*
>>434404 >"It's no problem Jack! This has been a really fun race with you, I thought you deserved something nice for Christmas. Best part is, Santa's still bringing his presents too!" >"So this is my second present... AH! Holy crap, that's so cool, that's me! This is the one you said Mr. God made? Is this like, an alternate universe thing where I was made in the 30's?" >"Also, we'd better get ready to watch the races Jack, think they're just about to start!"
>>434431 >>434434 That’s not good at all. Thank god everyone’s going to die otherwise this would be the worst Christmas in my life, first I have aids and now it’s revealed my ancestors are $^*£ eaters
>>434435 MY POOPY PROMISED ONE! NO! Dammit Coconuts, I should have killed you when I had the chance years ago. I need......time. Everyone else, dispose of him. >Walks away in shame
>>434447 Well if I know my action movies correctly, the very second someone asks if its over, a new, bigger threat will appear. Fuck I just jinxed it didn't I?
I and I alone claim credit for seeing to the true Klaus's downfall! My vote was that which sent the Grinch and his skeletal cohort to victory and claimed the holiday for the slightly less morally sound team! You have all just tasted the STING of the Monarch's revenge!
>>434456 >>434458 >>434461 *The scrap metal re-assembled itself to this bad boy by the way. Have fun. Dick RPer here. It's over 2AM, and I'm getting tired. May not continue until a few hours later sad to say, but keep RPing though with the bots if you like. Hopefully, we can continue in the after party thread.
>>434477 Oh well, more for us then. THIS ONE'S FOR SHUMA GORATH >punches robot out of the air THIS ONE'S FOR TENTACLE HENTAI >body slams another robot AND THIS ONE'S FOR THE GOOD OL' /CO/ BOARD! >grabs two robots and slams them together, to break them both apart
(Mao Mao poster here. Fairly late where I am so I'm calling it a night, but if any of the detectives want to continue they can do what they want with the characters, I know you need to wrap the story arc and I don't want to put a damper on things)
