Shirley was 100% the most rigged character to have ever entered a tourney.

Like even for Spinel you can make an argument that she was a FOTM situation and she was mostly voted due to spiting the tourney, but with Shirley there genuinely was no leverage behind her. Yeah, OC my ass, that shit doesn't take you that far. Especially when you're going against fucking fan favorites and sex symbols. I fucking watched Courage the Cowardly Dog as a child and a teenager, I loved the show but I unironically didn't know this character even existed till she showed up outta nowhere in Ms. /co/ 2022.

I firmly believe this tournament is responsible for at least 90% of all fanart ever made for Shirley.

Tell that to Recette.
But yeah, I don't think anything else you have said is up for debate. Shirley was rigged and even if she had a good campaign everyone has already accepted it.
Honestly, if it hadn't been for the Edafags who sperged out when they saw the R1 results we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation, that was what put Shirley in the spotlight to being with.

>shirley was the most rigged character
agreed, and she wasn't even the only character being rigged, NS claimed there was like 6-8 rigged characters?
>spinel
there's a lot of revisionist history but I'd argue the facebook page didn't do as much as jaded anons whose girl lost to her and they spite voted with multiple accounts (as some have claimed)
and yeah OC isn't the end all be all, like >>12182 said recette certainly benefitted from it but as so long as anons love a character they'll do well enough

What was the point of bringing on something we already know? At the very least Fang won and the Brisby alliance contributed to it too. Delete this thread.

It’s a shame that all the heavy hitters were rigged out, and then the host let a rigger get to the finale to create a mic drop moment.

Poor Fang*

Thing that really struck me about Shirley is how unapologetic the riggers were about rigging her.

You know it's bad when /mlp/ had a proper way to deal with riggers and it took us this long to figure out a way to delete suspicious votes. Hopefully after this tournament no other character like Nyarla or Shirley will be affected by them with the new rules.

I was one of (maybe the first) to note Shirley being suspect. Not that she was part of a big furrigger conspiracy but Eda was a strong bet and I assumed an owlhate rigger.

I'm still not entirely convinced Shirley was rigged FOR Shirley herself per se as much as using her as a "chaos" pick because they hate the tournament or pissed their waifu lost or wasn't qualified
There's some hints that they only focused on the character later on when it was the clear outlandish pick remaining, but at the same time her qualifying at all is suspect alongside early OC

Tournament aside, there's only one true thing that came out of this and we should never forget:

Nothing of value was lost either way if that was the case.

Being a trainfag myself I don't believe that.
Tulip was against a Disney princess and Amelia a powerpuff girl, the outrage on ITs pull could only do so much. The only iffy one was Lake with TDI Izzy who has one major autist backing her but still TDI has much more /co/ love than IT.

I can buy frogs losing fairly. They got a bad reputation on the board and even as a frogfag myself I think it's kind of warranted. That one faggot yuri spammer was tanking it too. Fuck that guy (?). He's been ruining frog threads for months.
