/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Not feeling this tourney anymore.

>>192463
Direwolves are gonna sweep

Cats and Dogs must be the Edds of these things because despite being the most popular animals ever, they have a horrible track record

>>192488
Too obvious/normie. The Mickey Mouse/Mario of /an/.

>>192489
No, that'd be dogs

>>192494
I was referring to both.

>>192510
Please don't let hedgehogs win

>>192511
Eggman...

I thought we agreed we weren’t doing this?

>>192521
Well, there could always just be some random /an/on who feels like spontaneously hosting it without any prior notice or preparation and then it basically just becomes like /his/ where it's its own small isolated thing
Considering how last /an/ tournament got shat on after a bunch of obnoxious tourney metafags and schizos invaded it that would probably be for the best

>>192521
>we?.gif
in all seriousness though knowing the nature of these things someone will pick it up, I can't say for certain as to why it happened how it did last year but I'm inclined to believe the funposting was the act of a few rather than the collective, that being said if we see it happening again best to ignore it rather than engage

>>192526
Hey Balls, I drew a body pillow cover of my /co/ waifu. I'm gonna post her there when she arrives in the mail

>>192463
Not really feeling it, and I was the one that NAMED the thing. The first year was unique but I honestly felt it really should’ve been a one off thing (and still believed it should) but a few tourney posters kept going “It’s just as important” and insisted to make another, so it happened and it was a slow mess without any of the spirit of the first tournament.

>>192534
>a few tourney posters
>and likely the same guy
This place desperately needs an IP counter.

>>192540
this has gotta be the single most posted character on /tnt/ by this point, I think we finally have something that's outdone Freeza and Bejita

We should probably move all the /an/ discussion here lmao

This tournament is already shit and finished

>>196008
I don't see you nominating any fucking critters, mate

I officially declare the /an/lympics…EXTINCT

>>196008
>The Tournament hasn't already burned through 3 nominations threads so it's dead
You're allowed to have your own opinion but /an/'s always been a slow burner. Not every board needs to be hype moment palooza

What are the rules for analympics, can I post pictures of my cat or my peach trees to campaign for them

>>196011
/an/ is also a significantly smaller board than /co/, let alone /v/, so expecting the tourney to be as fast as those on those two boards is silly.

>>196012
Yup.

Hoping T. rex breaks the runner up curse

>7 hours left
>still at only like half of our needed nominations
Lol

>NOOOOOOOOOOOO WE NEED /an/lympics even after last years shitshow!
Seeing as half of the nominees so far are just memes and the fact that we are only a bit over halfway there with 6 and a half hours left im thinking this is a bust

>WAAAAAAHHHH

>>196019
Gonna be real, even if absolutely everyone here hated the /an/lympics and didn't want to attend I'd still be hosting it

>>196026
based

>>196022
Why do people hate tourney OC?

>>196017
>>196019
Industrycuck…

>>196035
No wonder he's seething here. He couldn't nominate his shota proxy.

>couldn't smear Princess and her supporters
>couldn’t boost his frog picks
Industrycuck can't stop losing

I swear if the hedgehog wins I will.... I will...

>>196044
>still pushing that Princessfag criticism is IC
That’s it. Whenever my favorites are insulted I’m just saying it’s IC.

>>196048
Do we really need to reopen the case again and reaffirm?

>>196051
You are the one who keeps bringing it up unprompted.

Is it just me or is it even slower than the last two years, less than 40 posts and qualifiers are almost over

>>196053
/an/ was already a slow board, and the site being down for two weeks made it even slower.

>>196052
To clear up the situation

>>196053
>>196055
definitely has seemed that way, not been on many boards as of late but it does seem slower overall

>>196058
Been on /co/; definitely seems like the downtime hit the slowest boards the hardest. Not sure if this is going to be temporary or not.

> Under 100 votes
Feels like a /tnt/ or /trash/ tournament, either the userbase of /an/ is very small or they don't care.

>>196070
anon you can literally count the amount of times /an/ has gotten more then 100 votes on 1 finger

Cuckfag is obsessed to a worrying degree
Does he silently lurk here 24/7 so he knows where to post?

>>196087
Gee, what do you think anon?

No offense but Mr. Sir The Guymanbro is such a sloppy host.

>>196093
how so? leaving things open like the editing link in the form happens from time to time even to the other hosts and he's quick to fix anything anons point out

>>196093
I wonder if he's a bit distracted by something IRL, he has done quite a few little mistakes already.

Anyone else figure out what you're supposed to do for the write a sentence part? I feel like I’ve tried everything and it hasn't worked.

>>196096
green

>>196098
How long until he switches up to owls?

This actually happened?

>>196104
Good luck, you'll need it this year

>>196104
I'm so sorry that "he" latched on to your pick, Anon

>>196109
you're doing a good job, sure mistakes happen but so long as it doesn't lead to something unfair then its no harm overall
I still make mistakes, not always, I know the first /an/ was my first proper tournament and I still believe I messed up something but I stuck with it
If anyone else wants to step up or someone new wants to have a crack at hosting then go ahead, I could take over if you wish, I may have to leave it a day as tomorrow specifically I'll be busy between 5-9pm est and I'm unsure how much time I'll be able to have to get things ready and posted

>>196109
I think it's less that you're doing a poor job, and more that you're doing the job ALONE. When Dill hosted the /trash/ tourneys solo he suffered the exact same problems.

>>196108
It's bizarre how he managed to latch on to this despite having nothing to do with his obsession.

>>196109
Huh, well this isn't good. Mistakes were made, sure, but I thought this was going well enough.

>>196111
>When Dill hosted the /trash/
I thought it was the same person.

>>196115
To be fair, I always thought Coayy and Samaritanon were the same person too.

>>195963
>>195995
what did I say?

>>196116
Those are distinctive names though. There was a Bill Clinton and a Dill Clinton and one of them (Bill I guess) changed to SirGuyMan, which is where confusion probably arises.

>>196109
Can you maybe do one more round until Ballsanon can take over?

>>196119
I am making it atm, when I read his post I assumed he was making round 3 first then leaving it so I'll try to be quick
and we'll make the new round end time like 8 or 9pm est to make up for this

>>196120
Sure, works for me

>>196109
Yeah you made mistakes but you were doing fine for the most part. Dont be so hard on yourself.
Pls try again next year :)

>>196109
I already miss you

>>196120
Where are you?
>>196109
If you are ITT can you step back in?

>>196145
sorry, gf had me on ranked marvel rivals lmao

>>196150
>gf
That's where you went wrong. Not talking to women would give you much more time to post on image boards

>eggman lost to a tree
>again

You know a tourney is slow if one of the first posts in the fourth round is seething over Marvel

>>196149
8th

>>196152
That was Lloyd Christmas

>>196154
I think it has to do with residual upset over /cov/

T. Rex is the Doomguy of /an/.

>>196232
>a T. Rex can win a /co/ tournament but not an /an/ tournament
How do you even file this?

>>196233
>something that does not exist wins the fiction tournament but not the nature tournament
Makes sense to me.

>>196233
Is a T. Rex really a champion tier /an/ pick? It seems a bit memey and crossboard. They don't even exist anymore nor do we have actual video or photo's of them to know what they really looked like. Big disadvantage on a board about posting animals.

cool news: two nature picks have finally breached Elite 8. The memeish Watermelon and unhumble Cactus

>>196390
Nice, glad some fruit could make it after the tragic death of peaches

>>196390
Pretty good E8, unironically.

"He" ruined axolotl's run didn't he?

>>196396
Yeah I like it too.

>>196418
Yup, I'm so sorry

Uni looks like the strongest pick left
Would him winning be based or bueno?
On one hand
>not even a proper family or species, just this one specific cat, would probably cuck any other feline out of ever winning too
On the other
>/an/ons voting genuinely for a cute cat without thinking about meta or how much sense it makes

>>196430
On a third hand, however,
>only makes sense that a cat known for being "THE STRONGEST" is the one who breaks through in the end

>>196430
>he thinks it’s /an/ voting
I don’t think /an/ even has 90+ active users

>>196432
The tournament doesn't have 90+ voters either.

BALLS ANON YOU FUCKED UP THE FORM PLS FIX IT

>>196430
The vote picks being for a specific cat/bird instead of just cats or birds is kind of meme. Uni winning will be a campooner moment.

>>196438
This pretty much. And Uni is just a Xitter microcelebrity, even if really cute.

>>196236
>T. Rexes don’t exist
Creationistbro…

>>196233
Fang is just GOATed

2023 had the best E8 and it isn’t even cloae

>>196456
*close

>>192473
KWAB

>>196456
Shame the wrong finalist won though

>>196485
lol

>>196485
crow nostalgia, please understand

>>196662
On one hand, at least cats as a whole could probably win rather than betting it all on a zoomer meme.

On the other hand, /anal/ympics continues to have shit taste.

>a bird won AGAIN
>not even a cool bird, like the Albatross or Toucan, just a campooner bird
>by a single vote, over Cats
Lmao

Think this is the first time in tourney history there's been a finals decided by one vote.

>all the comments in the form complaining about cats

So is this now the closest margin of any champion, a single vote? Or by percentage would that still be queen 2021/2022?

Three great /an/lympics in a row :)

>>196665
as far as I remember it might be the first
>>196664
>>196663
another bird may have won, but it was anon's pet which makes it somewhat special
if anons do this again next year, I'd suggest no more than 3 birds get allowed in given 2 winners now are birds

>>196669
The best tournaments

>>196670
Please either bar or limit pets and memes.

>>196670
Going to vote in more birds to make it 3 in a row

>>196670
A bird limit is pretty much going to have to happen if 2/3rds of the winners are birds now

Hypothetically what would have happened if the finals tied?

>2023: finals where the big powerhouse got taken out by a dark horse underdog last minute
>2024: generally underwhelming and lame finals with a rigged winner
>2025: meme-off finals with a "you had to be there" campaign winner

Will /an/lympics ever have a satisfying finale/winner?
At least the OC was nice this year.

>>196671
.... That's right I'm talking about /cov/.

>>196672
Pets make it actually special

>>196676
>Will /an/lympics ever have a satisfying finale/winner?
Yeah, it happened three times already.

>>196678
You don't actually believe this Industrycuck.

>>196675
As Ballsanon posted in the /an/ thread,
>in the [qualifiers voting form] uni had 25 votes and anon's bird 23, which given the tie would have netted Uni the win

>>196676
Crow is good. The Jenny of /an/. The other two ehh.

>>196679
/cov/ has only happened twice though.

>>196675
First one to get dubs wins.

>One of the most intelligent creatures in existence. Has symbolism in pagan religions, can create thousands of sounds
>An insect essential to the ecosystem. Honey is one of the oldest delicacies enjoyed by humankind. Also revered as a symbol of industrious labor and cooperation
>a fuckin green parakeet from Petsmart
Lol
Lmao, even

>>196683
I don't think I could've come up with a more retarded comeback, congratulations.

>>196681
I regret not voting when I had the chance.

>>196683
Maybe Doomguy/Charlie did count

>>196674
Seems kind of inorganic to limit characters like that

I remembered to come back and vote for Uni but I think that made it worse, 2 votes is pretty close but out of your hands, 1 votes is an "Aww oops, I forgot" thing

>>196688
The hillbilly is the one getting people to hate Princess. Get your lore straight.

A single parakeet might be controversial, but what would the fallout have been if Jim Carrey won

>>196694
Now that would have been an actual bad winner.

>>196694
Many jobber memes would have died

>>196691
Well this is going to haunt me for a while

>It took this long for /tnt/ to realize maybe nominating Eggman for /an/ was a fucking mistake
Lol
Lmao

>Rorschach was the hyped up contestant who lost by one vote to a cat in round 1
>The cat was the hyped up contestant who lost by one vote in the finale
Interesting parallel I noticed

Place your bets, how many years until an animal larger than a birdcage wins?

>>196701
Not until hummingbird wins

>>196701
Watermelons can fit in a birdcage too, fatasses aren't welcome on /an/

It seems to be set the third year of something is usually just the wacky campooner year, huh

>>196704
>>196705
Wouldn't it be funny if birds became the new curse /an/ would have to break?

>>196705
>People can't decide if they want Bugs or Daffy to be the one who wins a tournament
>4chan hates Disney and takes it out on spitevoting out the classic characters
Simple as

>>196707
If 4chan hates Disney so much, why is the second Mr. winner Kronk?

>>196708
Kronk is just THAT good, even as I child I remember more his dialogues than Yzma's or any of the other characters in the movie.

>>196708
Fits the buff guy angle Johnny established, in a year people were slightly positive with them before it soured hard and we haven't gotten a Disney E8 character since
And early installment weirdness of course

>>196710
>in a year people were slightly positive with them before it soured hard and we haven't gotten a Disney E8 character since
Seems more like same series curse than anything else. Even back then people weren't totally positive on Disney.

>>196708
I think people just do not think of Kronk and New Groove as Disney property. It's kind of a cult classic and not a flagship thing of theirs.

>>196710
>the buff guy angle
I don't think this was ever a thing outside of that one bad E8 fucker pushing it.

>>196712
It's basically the really iconic (Mickey, Donald ect.) and recent property (DTVA) that gets spited. If it's got the big Disney label to its reputation.

>>196712
One anon put it perfectly in one thread; Emperor’s New Groove is somehow impervious to all the bullshit. Not obscure enough to be forgotten but also not mainstream enough to get rebooted or get anti nostalgia posted and a genuinely good film.

>>196713
No it actually was a thing in 2019, that Kronk was a natural continuation for Johnny as a buff himbo
It was never a thing brought up for Bob outside complaining since he's not one, that's the part he made up

>>196719
didn't someone make art comparing how similar 2018 and 2019's winners are?

A tie in /an/lympics would've been kino, to be desu. Just like /cov/, both finalists really did deserve the crown.

>>196719
Not even that fag, but there definitely was discussion in 2020 about how Bob was seen as the potential third buff guy winner, but it was never the intent of his nomination.

>>196719
>>196722
Honestly I blame himbo getting abused to the point it's lost its meaning.

>>196720
Yes, especially after the win
Also before Spinelshit turned the place chaotic people joked Spinel was actually Jenny putting on paint and trying to reenter the contest

>>196724
It helped that the Jenny=Spinel jokes predated the tournaments

>>196724
I had so much fun during that ms./co/, you really needed to be there at the time it happened to really appreciate the chaos of it and to understand those implemented rules

>>196726
You know it just occurred to me, Spinel might very well have been considered a good winner by King /v/ voterbase standards.

Anyone making the E8 pic?

>>196732
Jesus Christ how horrifying

>>196732
Are you...ever gonna finish the seeding chart by the way? https://rentry.org/hzo5ifdi

>>196704
What's the fourth year, again?

>>196704
Co-op must've gotten it out of the way

>>196666
Was this before or after someone linked the final thread in that cat general

>>196763
This is the fucking gayest shit

>>196708
Mr. /co/ was somewhat of a husbando contest at the time and Kronk just so happens to be both the most likable and physically attractive character in the ENG franchise.

>>196717
There's also the matter of when it aired. it falls right into that millenial nostalgia timeframe that's been the boards main demographic. Basically it's all the mentioned factors. Not big enough to be ruined or obscure enough to be forgotten, not Disney iconic or nu era enough to be spited. Early tourney preference and slightly less shade on Disney at the time. He'd probably have less of a chance winning now.

The fact that cats had four fucking entires was pretty absurd

>>196798
What’s even more ridiculous is how you have been the first one to say it.

>>196838
>Gex and Daggett
For what purpose?

>>196783
I believe Kronk would still be able to win it even now. He is THE STRONGEST.

>>196840
I have no excuse for Gex, but that Daggett plush was legit what the nominator used for beavers. Lemme whip up an alternate version for both.

>>196839
I said it during the tourney and no one gave a fuck

>>196756
I know you're baiting, but this got me thinking. Does Mr. Sir even have a drawn avatar like the other hosts?

>>196897
I don't think Coaynnon or Samaritanon do either. For some reason I think of Cole from Lego Ninjago because of the "Co" in the name, even though it's clearly meant as a reference to /co/

So... what'd we think?

>>197005
Good tourney.

>>197005
good tournament, I'm not too keen on a single parakeet out of all of the possible winners. It feels too reddit chungus wholesome

>>197005
It was fine. But I wasn't a fan of the finale. Pet vs. meme felt weird out of a lineup of species reps, especially as every prior year had been species reps only (at least in the E8). Puts into the question the honesty of the finals, if these animals would've really made it had they just been distinguished as housecats or parakeets.

Did the bird win?

>>197029
Yes

>>197806
>>197795
Was this the same guy that claimed Perifag was his hero.

>>197808
Yes

>>197813
Oh great, another whack job attached himself to the tournament

>>197795
I thought you were kidding anon...

>>197830
I don’t know how he found this tournament.
