/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Some underage actress will win won’t they

We had like two of these in the catalog.

>>191913
Came here to say this, we already had at least one /tv/ thread

What's the status on animation with this?

>>191928
Allowing adult animation is a good compromise.

>>191928
>>191931
Depends on what actual /tv/ says. If they're okay with it, it's a go.

Predicting the elites will be:
>Patrick Bateman
>Deckard (Or K)
>Bane
>George Costanza
>Travis Bickle
>Tony Soprano
>HAL 9000
>Amon Goeth

Who's gonna be the inaugural jobber?

>>191966
I'm gonna say Joker.

>>191912
>all contestants must be 18+
problem solved

>>191912
I’m not gonna participate if anyone under the age of 18 is allowed.

>>191912
The only way to host /tv/ (assuming it’s on their board) without it getting banned is only having one tournament and having it males only
That and 18+ character requirement avoids 99% of the potential issues that could happen

>>191966
Anakin, to set him up to slay other contestants

>>191987
>18+ requirement
>but also male only
There goes my chance to run the Golden Girls in a tourney

Would tokusatsu stuff like Ultraman and Godzilla be allowed or would that be more for an /m/ tournament?

>>191928
Whatever allows Sneed and Chuck to be nominated

>>192004
I'd imagine that standalone film adaptation version can be added in like Shin and Minus One, Hakaider too. Though I don't think they would make it far compared to their own home board.

>>191928
Animation will be allowed because people will want the Sneeds
At the same time, besides those, animation will be filler because they already have /co/ (and I don’t think /tv/ will go for anime either) and will be brought up as such, so it should be a very condensed list of only the most well known animation characters and /tv/ memed characters

>drawing more of the /tv/ crowd to the tournaments
Oh god.

>>192035
Nerd would be a round 1 jobber if he qualifies at all, Critic might reach round 3 or something

Ack

what are the actual rules of this? are we really doing males and females instead of just splitting up movies and television and barring females?

>>192451
Holy shit I never thought of that. Splitting it by movies and tv instead of Mr. and Ms. would work way better. It seems though it's gonna be the whole thing in one big tourney.

>>192451
>>192458
Man, imagine if /co/ had decided to divide it by comics and cartoons instead of gender. Can't tell if that would be for the better or not.

>>192506
It would have been peak for a couple years before it gets flooded with /dbg/ or some other shit, and FOTM or meme picks pushed by secondaries would begin to dominate.

>>192508
>/dbg/
That reminds me, 90% of the Death Battle threads are full of cuck and NTR spam now for some reason.

>>192512
Either the Krillin meme overtook it or Industrycuck became a regular there.

Someone should make a thread over on /tv/ to gauge interest and inform them it's happening

>>192514
Just /dbg/ things

>>192514
Nominating Woman Who Mahito Kills With Idle Transfiguration from Death Battle for Ms. /co/

>>192517
She will SWEEP bottom 128

>>192515
Not much point until we have a set timeframe for when it's happening, which I'm hoping we'll hear about soon

>>191959
>Bane
As popular as the Nolan Batman trilogy is on /tv/ I feel like people are gonna vote 'em out before they reach elite because he's not initially /tv/. Sure, neither are Bateman, Deckard and HAL, but their movies popularity exceeds their books, while superheroes/villains are in a grey area.
>HAL 9000
Haven't really seen /tv/ lose their shit over 2001 so I'm not sure.
>Spoiler
That's just a whole other can of worms.

I'd swap these three with
>A LotR rep
>Walter White (or Saul)
>Picard

>>192513
Probably both

>>192548
What a shame. I want to be able to joke about the power levels of Filthy Frank characters and how well they're compare to the DragonBall verse. Considering Good Dade and Evil Dade control the supply of Chocolate and Chromosomes in the Omniverse they're gotta be really strong, especially sincd Good Dade ate a live earthworm without gagging. Could fruit snacks be stronger than a spirit bomb?

>>192551
Also, Speed Lord had a power level of 1 Quintillion and was one-shot by evil Dade. Last time I saw a detailed breakdown of Dragon Ball Power levels, I think it was Boo saga level stuff that was getting into the trillions. Wonder if Goku's Kaioken x10 blue could match up to Speed Lord's 1 quintillion.

>>191910
If I recall correctly TV has pretty loose rules in a lot of areas(Jesse and James from Pokemon get threads a lot).

I think /co/ characters should be allowed, both because a handful will do better there and because it might be nice to have them competing outside of their bubble for once(There was a running joke last time it got brought up that Mr. Krabs would make E8 without the spammer to ruin him). I also don't mind /a/ characters who are anime originals not coming from a Manga(like Jesse and James). Let's not try to artifically limit the /co/ input, most of them will do ass and most of the ones that do well don't do well over there. Spongebob is the only franchise I see potentially getting double E8s in a year.

>>192563
Does this sound good?
>Animation allowed, BUT they must be from a movie, original anime, or otherwise allowed on /tv/
>Only 4 each of /co/ and /a/ will proceed to the bracket (in other words, the ANIM8)

>>192565
>Only 4 each of /co/ and /a/ will proceed to the bracket (in other words, the ANIM8)
This is stupid

>>192565
I rather:
>animation is allowed, but characters must come from show aimed at adults with a primetime slot (The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, etc.) [adult swim] and /co/ movie characters might be pushing this, but I think /a/ things like Ghibli are fair game.
>/co/ and /a/ characters are allowed, but they have to have a live-action depiction in either a movie or show (like Batman character, Tobey Spider-Man, Speed Racer, etc.) or even Evolution Goku if you wanna.

>>192568
Why limit it at adult prime time? None of those are banned from the /co/ tournaments and [adult swim] wouldn't push it since that's also aimed at adults.

>>192563
>>192565
>>192568
>give /co/ even more presence in tournaments (because staying in your own board tournaments is now a bubble)
>try to make it an /a/ coper tournament

>>192570
>We should ban The Simpsons from /tv/ tournaments because…. Because we just should okay!?!?!?
/v/bro…

>>192571
>We shouldn't keep a cartoon on the /co/ board because…we just shouldn’t okay?!?!?!
I thought /v/bros wanted everything off topic

Tranny above me btw

Don't listen to the tranny above me btw

>>192569
>Why limit it at adult prime time?
Simply because they're the most /tv/-friendly. Stuff like The Simpsons have been /tv/ staples for years, so it admittedly wouldn't feel right if we can't let Sneed in (who's arguably more of a /tv/rep than /co/) because of an animation ban.
>[adult swim]
I'm not saying I'm against it. It's possible that their dominance in the /co/ tourneys might bleed over into the /tv/ tourney and make it seem like this is yet another /co/ joint. Granted, nothing's guaranteed, but I prefer the /tv/ tournament to have its own identity.

>>192575
>Simply because they're the most /tv/-friendly.
Most animated shows are already /tv/ friendly. I say be more flexible with what's allowed.

>>192575
>It's possible that their dominance in the /co/ tourneys might bleed over into the /tv/ tourney and make it seem like this is yet another /co/ joint.
>Granted, nothing's guaranteed, but I prefer the /tv/ tournament to have its own identity.
So the solution is to…have /tnt/ approved /co/ picks while reasoning that they don't do well in one tournament so might as well put them in another.

>yes, I do want Johnny Bravo and Zorak winning tournaments again, how can you tell?

Post /tv/ saying that The Simpsons isn’t /tv/.

Post /co/ saying that The Simpsons isn't /co/.

Post /tv/ saying Family Guy isn’t /tv/.

>>192582
My tag team of /co/ heroes…

Hankbros, we're primetime. We lost our shot at Mr. /co/…

>>192578
Shadowbros…are satisfied with their win and don't need another board's tournament.

>>192578
Bravo wouldn't qualify
/tv/ doesn't know who the fuck Zorak is

>>192586
I'm sure some people would recognize SGCTC and Bravo should be able to qualify; one of his writers was Seth MacFarlane.

>>192581
Come to think of it, what IS the stance on more live genres like sports, news and documentaries? Not that there's too many picks there, but I'm sure someone's gonna wanna at least try.

Have you guys considered asking /tv/ first.

>>192609
we know better, they'll probably try to make it an anything goes tournament

>>192610
Maybe, but a /tv/ tournament should exist only because /tv/ anons want it to.

Oh, this finally has a shot? About time, but here's my genuine concerns. This is the first time a tournament begins on a more active board, and I worry that general tournament antics might just push people away.
I think occasional references or jokes are fine but if the tournament starts with people immediately GETposting and spamming /co/CHADS or whatever it could end up being a disaster.
I also think we shouldn't be dictating any real limits beyond male only and no real people. People who mostly frequent /v/, /co/ or this place shouldn't be affecting who /tv/ anons can choose. They have their own tastes and opinions. They can decide if they wanted animated characters or not, and their picks will likely differ from /co/.

>Off-boarder /tnt/ers already trying to tell /tv/ how to run their tournament they might not even be interested in having in the first place
This isn’t going to end well

>>192621
This is something I've been noticing when the idea was brought up in Mr. /co/ last year; people were already trying to sort out which /co/ picks should be there or would do better despite no one even asking /tv/'s input. Months, we still don't know if /tv/ even wants this and now people are getting the attitude of "we know better than the board itself".

>>192614
>beyond male only
Again, why dictate any rules to them instead of letting them sort it out for themselves? What if /tv/ decides they want a female tournament (within reason)?

>>192621
Whenever people start talking about potential tournaments on boards like /lit/ or /tv/, I always wonder if they actually use said boards or if they just want another tournament that isn't /co/ or /v/. Really you could say the same about /an/ too.

>>192628
I don’t think they want another tournament per se, but more they want to have characters that are not currently eligible for majors to participate in one. Which is most media character in existence who are locked out of the tournament experience
Another reason I think /tnt/ brings it up so much - the board is heavy on DBS, and as much as they want they are not eligible for anything besides porn tournaments. So not surprising to see /lit/, /a/ and /tv/ brought up so much - just one of those starting up would make them eligible

>>192626
Alas, this is why this whole proposition might be doomed from the onset
From experience tournament posters know a female tournament is very risky because of the posts people might make of the “characters”. But you can’t dictate that they can’t have one. And with prior efforts being autosaged by janny it’s likely that the first instance of that will kill the effort if it’s even tolerated at all in the first place
In some ways there’s reason there’s only 2 large boards in 7 years who’ve done this. Some need to prepare for the potential reality that /co/ and /v/ is all we’ll ever get

>>192565
Predicting the ANIM8:
>Porco Rosso
>Roger Rabbit
>Homer Simpson
>Peter Griffin
>Shinji
>Ash Ketchum
>A SpongeBob rep
>Tetsuo

>>192638
>a /tv/ E8 with no live action characters
Bravo /tnt/.

This thread was more fun when we were talking about actual potential /tv/ E8.

>>192565
I don't think a limit is needed simply because they will self limit, /tv/ only likes a few cartoons, it's just they won't like being restricted by off-boarders. I'm mostly following their lead plus the base rules we always use.

They discuss anime, but not manga. Cartoons, but not comic books(other than DC/Marvel stuff sometimes). So only /tv/ original cartoon characters, no one who originated from a comic outside of capes(which excludes a decent chunk) and no anime characters who were in manga first(which eliminates 95% of them and literally outside of Jesse and James I don't see ANY going anywhere, those two just have a lot of meme status. No reason to ban it if it's gonna be rare, if Gregory from GHS gets in one year that's no problem). Cartoons will be self limiting for the most part as they just won't be able to compete.

Outside of some fluke years, Spongebob and King of the Hill are going to be your only notable /co/ runs for the man's side and I can't think of any girls outside of maybe Marge or Lois who would do good on both.

>>192568
Spongebob gets more threads on /tv/ than /co/, you'd be fucking him over.

>>192570
/tv/ is the reverse of /a/, they have a really loose enforcement and are the most open with the culture. Which is good in that we won't have to deal with dumb mods as much, but also I don't think we should install overly strict limitations built for /co/ and /v/ culture.

>>192578
They wouldn't do well there. Hank Hill is the only person I can see actually winning two tournaments on two boards legitimately.

>>192642
If you let SpongeBob you'd have to let the rest of Nickelodeon in or you'd be fucking them over. Same with CN and Nick.

Maybe we could just leave this to /tv/ and see if they do one on their own or not? /v/ and /co/'s tournaments were originally run by different people and had different rulesets(/v/ has the whitelist) and didn't have a lot of spillover until after 2021 when NSA merged the leadership. /tv/ is pretty anything goes if it's been on /tv/ especially compared to /co/ and we aren't really beating the kabbal allegations if we run things for them. (Didn't we find out last year that NSA had either been running Queen/King with a proxy or alt account since 2019 and last year was the first one without her involved ever?)

>>192642
>/v/ culture
/a/ culture you mean. Shockingly /v/ hasn't tried sliding their picks in using the live action adaptations.

>>192643
Sure then, let them. It's /tv/ they'll have to compete with triple the characters and a board population that doesn't really like most of them much. Unless you're scared of Squidward and Hank Hill double-E8ing that much I don't see the problem.

>>192647
Trust me anon, I think /co/ will be doing better in these tournaments than you think, especially if we bring the campaign in. /tv/ will never know what hit them.

>>192626
>What if /tv/ decides they want a female tournament (within reason)?
Is this not about what /tv/ wants? I'm not loving the vibes of this whole thread we really aren't making those claims of us not representing the boards look noncredible

>>192610
>they'll probably try to make it an anything goes tournament
…/tnt/ literally is doing just that. They haven't even shown interest in doing anything and people here are already picking out which /a/ and /co/ characters will go far.

>>192645
>Didn't we find out last year that NSA had either been running Queen/King with a proxy or alt account since 2019 and last year was the first one without her involved ever?
Not at all, that was just Temp being a retard. Agree on all points though.

>>192645
>first year without NSA
>ms. slightly improves and queen goes to shit
>mr. and king stayed about the same
Still don't know what to make of 2024.

>>192648
That's only if we intentionally drag over a bunch of trailers. If it's a purely /tv/ affair like Ms. /co/ 2018 or Queen /v/ 2019 then the bulk of them are getting their arses whacked. And if we do drag a ton of people over than it's not really a /tv/ tournament and we're just larping.

/tv/ is a pretty busy board, it's got more users than /co/ and only slightly less than /v/ (/v/'s bottom thread is 32 minutes since last bump, /tv/'s is 45 minutes, and /co/'s is 100 minutes) so a couple dozen people won't break anything.

>>192649
I'm not the one saying it should be male only. Maybe they want to do gender tourneys, maybe they want to split film and tv. We'll never know unless we reach out beyond our circlejerk.

>>192651
Yeah it was an exaggeration, albeit I think Ghost was actually working with NSA or something like that.

>>192645
Otherwise I agree. First Year should always be run fully in house. I say wait for /tv/, don't even interfere if they run one, see how it goes, and maybe if they wanna do it a second time with more organization we offer to help out. Some of ya'll are talking like they don't get a say in this, our say doesn't fucking matter or it shouldn't. This is on them

>>192653
I just want more /co/ tournaments

>>192653
>/v/ (/v/'s bottom thread is 32 minutes since last bump, /tv/'s is 45 minutes, and /co/'s is 100 minutes)

This is something a lot of people here are forgetting. /tv/ is not /an/.

Wouldn't it be funny if after all this arguing, debating and theorizing, /tv/ just shoots down the idea stone dead

>>192655
>I think Ghost was actually working with NSA or something like that.
Ghost was Dominos who co-hosted the 2021 tournaments. The first two years of Queen and King were hosted by anons from /v/.

How about /tv/ does whatever the fuck they want and /v/ doesn't dictate the who what where when why how or IF there even is a tournament

>>192659
The part that was legit was that NSA cleared them as being a completely new anon despite knowing they were someone else who had left in disgrace. So they were both lying and dependent on NSA to keep that lie up which is obviously a conflict of interest for someone who's job was publically to double check NSA's work and make sure she didn't do anything shady.

>>192661
>/v/
/v/ wasn't in this episode.

>>192659
I joined in 2021 which apparently was considered a disaster year and the two boards tournaments have been so intertwined the whole time it's kind of hard to understand they used to be more separate, I just don't have the context.

>>192661
Anon I have seen more of the cartoon and anime side doing more dictating than the vidya side. It's more accurate to tell /tnt/ as a whole to back off.

>>192664
Every year you hear people talking about how chill and decent 2018 was and how Spinel ruined everything, that's just anons. 2018 was lightning in a bottle and that freshness is never coming back, nobody had ever done tournaments before.

>>192655
>First Year should always be run fully in house
While ideally it would there's the whole queen of /a/ situation last year where it COULD have been the start of a legit good thing going but the host was a massive jackass about it. Having some cross board technical help may have been worth it.

>>192656
>Mr /co/
>Ms /co/
>Playgirl (largely /co/)
>Playboy (largely /co/)
>Tag-Team
>Trios (soon)
That's enough

>>192668
Don't forget they have a 50% stake in /cov/

>>192666
That's only ms. /co/. Mr. is still chill and decent.

>>192666
Satan, those people either never attended 2018 or have rose tinted glasses. It really wasn't some super calm affair with no campaigning or spitevoting or namefags like people seem to think. All of that crap still happened that year.

>>192666
>nobody had ever done tournaments before.
Well, technically there was saiGAR but that itself was lightning in a bottle since it was a completely different context in a completely different world.

>>192646
>came out first even if it was produced last, so he's not welcome
This kind of technicality junk didn't stop Lain from entering /v/. I imagine you'll be told to fuck off if you tried enforcing "no characters before episode 4" on /tv/.

>>192666
Literally if you look through the 2018 threads people were complaining about too many tournaments, there had been multiple on /co/ that year alone and apparently /his/ had one. It's literally fucking Ozymandian, tourneys all the way down, people talking about stuff that was common knowledge then and now we all forgot about it.

>>192671
It was, relatively speaking, very fresh and decent compared to the ms. /co/'s after it. Regardless of exagerrated Temp revisionism.

>>192673
Tbf and not to defend Eva getting excluded but /v/ is willing to let anything in if it results in a few lulz. That's how we ended up with Christoper Robin.

>>192673
The host would be called an Asuka waifufag since she'd be the only major character allowed from the show.

>>192666
Ms wasn't chill ever, not even in 2018. That was just slow-scale pettiness that didn't morph into the modern meta and chaos starting 2019
Mr was as chill as it was, just less meta and campaigning which kicked off 2020

>>192677
Kaji would be fine, I guess the Jet Alone guy(who I think is a meme pick in Japan), Naoko Akagi, Kyoko Zeppelin...and anyone from Rebuilds so Mari would be allowed.

>>192675
The actual difference was the grumpyness wasn't meta or at least not tourney-meta. Characters called overrated weren't tourney favorites, they were genuinely overexposed on the board as a whole.

>>192679
Imagine explaining to /tv/ why these characters are allowed but not Shinji, Rei, Misato, and Gendo and it's because of a manga technicality that didn't even start production first almost no one knows or cares about.

>>192681
People are really hoping to pull a reverse Robbie Rotten and see if /tv/ falls for it

While I don't entirely agree the whole thing should be ran "in-house" the first year I do think there just shouldn't be any restrictions if this is happening. /tv/ is its own entity, let them conclude what they want in it.

>>192679
Would Yui be allowed in or not since that's...complicated

>>192681
Gurren Lagann fans will win /tv/I.P. for the glory of /a/.

>>192681
>imagine explaining to /tv/
People should ask this every time they think about posting on this thread because my god some of you

>>192687
I don't even want to imagine the reactions when /tv/ picks get too silent for tourney autists' liking…

>>192683
Yeah if some guy on /tv/ starts one don't dogpile him. In fact maybe don't post it everywhere in the first place, give them an actual chance. Offering help if needed if different from dictating which is unfortunately what a lot of people are doing. Our tournaments had loose first years too

>>192687
>So guys you'll follow our rules because we don't want to offend /co/ and you'll let our boys run things, doesn't that sound great?

And then they crash us with no survivors and launch a sneedinvasion of /co/

>>192682
I do like seeing the shit people try to pull through to get into the /co/ tournament since there isn't any /tv/ tournament for them to participate in
Whether it's meta autistic researching into justifying how a version of the character qualifies (Robbie Rotten) or just sneaking them in and hoping dumbass hosts don't notice them (Beetlejuice)

>>192687
>tourist go home
probably

>>192692
Then you have the epic fails like Gokufag and the "Toonami ruling".

>>192685
I mean if the "No one who appeared in a Manga first rule" actually passed then Yui would depend on what you mean by Yui and I'm sure that would be a hell of a fight. Because her mind and soul are technically on screen and acting as they're in Unit-01 and are in control when it goes berserk and when they protect Shinji, which was in the Manga 7 months before the show, but we don't see those in her original body until Episode 21 which happened in the anime first.

>>192691
>Sneed wins Mr /co/
>It's now officially a /co/ meme and not a /tv/ meme anymore

>>192697
>it then wins Gentlemen of /tv/ later that year

>>192691
Not like we could tell the difference. /co/ is like 30% /tv/.

>>192697
>>192698
>Sneed somehow manages to win King before /co/ or /tv/, becoming a /v/ meme

>>192695
The fails are entertaining, especially the anime ones since they are way too obvious characters to sneak in

>>192700
>Sneed wins all the boards in one year and unifies the tournaments via political marriage
>we get a gay wedding with Bane
>he is indeed too big for (you)
>decisive /tv/ victory

>>192692
>I do like seeing the shit people try to pull through to get into the /co/ tournament since there isn't any /tv/ tournament for them to participate in
Huh. More reason to justify a /tv/ tournament.

The one gurantee is if /tv/ got a tournament in any way shape or form people in 3 or 4 years will be talking about how many things it indirectly affected and the butterfly effect.

We already had this happen with Stats leaving leading to the uniifcation of leadership or Fusefag leading to /tnt/ or Spinel leading to rigging paranoia.

>>192704
The 8th year is the last canon year of a tourney so no biggie.

>>192705
When was this decided

>>192705
We didn't even agree on Elite 8 until the end of the first one, the Host wanted Elite 16 and the anons wanted Elite 4 and we got a compromise. Canon is whatever the fuck we want it to be

>>192707
>Elite 4
>Elite 16
Imagine the roads not taken.

>>192707
Those are dumb. 8 is the best number for it.

>>192707
I think the Host initially wanted Top 32 banned, but backed off on that quickly and went to Top 16. I haven't read the archives in a bit so DQMOT

>>192710
>Top 32
Well…at least the tournaments would be filled with fresh faces every year

>>192684
>Black Canary was a campaigner pick with one or two heavily dedicated anons.
This fact is how you'll be able to tell who's a newfag or a tourist.

>>192707
It was always going to be eight honestly
So much is pulled from March Madness and that ratio of honoring the four remaining for a sixty four team roster (technically 68) matches honoring the eight remaining of a hundred twenty eight roster

>>192684
That whole breakdown was disingenuous exaggeration. It was like was a 1/4th the voterbase and participation. You had maybe one or two comments that would indicate something and Temp would scribe it like it was a tourney defining event. It's a conflation of modern meta with old basic bickering, basically what >>192680 said.

>>192705
… in my headcanon.

>>192706
>>192717
It's true. Every tourney after the 8th year is traced and ai generated, sadly.

>>192718
We haven't even gotten to the eighth for some of these, wtf

>>192718
So why even continue having tournaments unless those are it for the tournaments altogether.

>>192692
t obe fari, Beetlejuice did have the big one cartoon adaptation + Lyndia managed to qualify back in 2019

>>192721
The latter is relevant since people assumed he was grandfathered in along with Lydia. By the time people looked it up, it was too late.

I think the technically is in the cartoon that’s the actual name, the live action one is Betelguese

>>192692
Like how Shou Fu Kan and Nostalgia Critic breezed through their way in Heroes of /co/ and /cov/ respectively because anons abuse loopholes and the laxer rules. Ironically, a /tv/ tournament is probably the only tournament for Thunderbolt Fantasy characters to participate in without having people bitching about it.

>>192722
That Unfortunely set the precedent that if you can sneak into R1 undetected your allowed in. Which sucks since some hosts are morons

https://boards.4chan.org/tv/thread/210075727

>>192724
Would /tv/ even care about a Taiwanese puppet show?

>>192726
>already on page 9
>the only response was along the lines of "We don't have one because everyone knows Bane will win."
Grim. Very grim.

>>192729
>/a/ won't have one because Yotsuba or an Eva girl will win
Also accurate desu.

>>192729
I mean, Bane would be a fitting winner.

>>192731
It would be funnier if it were Raimi Spider-Man or RDJ Iron Man, just so DC gets cucked out of another win.

>every single porn winner is cartoons or vidya
Lmao

>>192726
>archived with six posts
>four of those were probably from here
For the record I'm pretty sure the few times it was brought up to /a/ it got a few dozen replies before mods deleted it. Don't know how this bodes for /tv/.

>>192736
They expect one tourney in the wreckage brother

>>192736
It has never been more over

Reminder by the way there's a good chance the guy who contacted Samaritanon to host the /tv/ tournament doesn't even visit /tnt/ so all the debating over rules or proclaiming whether it will or will not happen here is likely pointless, when ultimately those things are all up to the fa/tv/irgin actually organizing this
>>192736
Generally interest gauging threads (or at least the ones that ever led to a tournament actually happening) are made by the organizer who says "i am willing to do a tournament about the best characters of the board" so people know it is actually happening, if it's just some random saying "what if someone did a thing like these other boards which you don't use and don't have context of do" there will be little interest which is probably why that /tnt/ made thread died instantly
Basically there's nothing else to do but wait for the /tv/ anon who's organizing this to organize it

>>192736
Seems Tourneyheads are more interested in a /tv/ tournament then /tv/ is itself
Which isn’t surprising since they haven’t done anything to have one after 7 years

If /tv/ does one just let them do it and give help if they ask. I don't think we should spread it around too much either, lest they get overun on their first year

I'm expecting a Norman Lear rep to be in the Elite 8.

>>192762
It's our time Bunkerbros

For some reason my psychotic brain tells me Alex from Clockwork Orange not only gets in despite being originally a book character, but makes it to the final 2 and does well enough people start a tradition of posting in Nadsat

more like /tntv/

>>192760
No stealth threads in other boards and honestly do not advertise it much here. Let /tv/anons have it.

>>192765
>TNT is a tv channel owned by Warner
My god…the foreshadowing was there all this time.

>>192767
Don’t forget their channel tagline
We know drama

Given how indifferent /tv/ seems, what if we just...did it, and see what happens? Who knows, they might gradually get into it.

>>192769
You mean doing a test run like villains and heroes of /a/?

>>192769
We already have a /tv/ anon working with the hosts to organize it though, that's the only reason we're talking about it actually happening

>>192769
Then it's not really a /tv/ tournament, it's us.

Just ignore it until one day someone tells you they've already done two of them while you weren't looking

>>192769
Too many people are coming at this with an /a/ attitude. We don't have to be super vigilante. /a/ mods are worse than /co/ mods are worse than /v/ mods are worse than /tv/ mods. /tv/ probably could run a tag team tournament on their board or allow weird niche barely /tv/ shit without problem.

So there's no need to be super paranoid about one guy cocking it up forever ever like that /a/fag, let things take their course

I don't see an issue with having a host help the guy get all the formal stuff set up, or at least giving him the new host guide.

>>192782
Pretty much that yeah, /tv/ has some of the most lax mods on the site seeing as how there's usually around at least 7 frogpost threads up at any given time usually with some brainless OP like "what are some slops" or "i just watched a kino" plus allowed generals even for pure slop like fishtank

>>192760
That’s the issue, that’s impossible now.
Even if there’s no involvement from anyone involved with tourneys in creating it, within minutes of the first thread it’ll be linked here and the tourneyheads will flood in with their preferred nominations, meta, trying to get it formatted a certain way, etc. If /tv/ doesn’t pick up it instantly (like most first tournaments go) it’ll be a /tnt/ side tournament on a main board and dominated by the meta of existing tournaments. This is exactly what happened to /a/ before that went to shit. It can’t really be stopped.
It would independently need to form its own culture and userbase, and the last time that was possible would have been 2020/2021. Its going to be /tntv/ through and through, and unless /tv/ picks up interest on its own it stays that way

>>192782
That's what I'm saying. Just say we'll do it and drop it in a week and see how things go if the mods are as lackadaisical as you say.
>>192772
Somewhat. It could be first-come-first-serve like the first /v/allhallas.

>>192784
I feel like I get banned on /tv/ any time I so much as post in those threads. It might be lax moderation, but I do think /tv/ just has a high volume of ban-evading funposters.

>>192785
Depends on the timing to a certain degree, first half of the year is quieter on /tnt/ than the second half and /tv/ has busy days. You’d be trying to get enough /tv/ people on board quickly enough to drown out the /tnt/ influx while also trying to reduce that.

/tv/ is big enough it’s plausible, it’s not like /an/ where the natives are fucked

>>192785
/mlp/ has basically avoided any involvement from /tnt/ and even when linked nobody goes there

>>192860
Well that's cause it's fucking /mlp/, anons here actually like movies and TV

>>192860
Ponies are a cult niche. You’re either into the specific show and fandom with all the boards esoteric autism or you have nothing to do with the tourneys.

>4chan may die without ever seeing a proper /tv/ tournament
