/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>>22798
/an/ is animals AND nature, so every Kingdom should be allowed to participate, not just Animals.

>>22799
makes sense, then it should be like how OP put it, one for fauna that's still around and fauna that is extinct and that's the two tournaments OR just have one for animals (both alive and extinct) and plant life

>>22798
Curious on what type of metagaming /an/ of all places would have.

>>22809
nigger-o-saurus back at it again

So how would Eggman get himself into this tournament?

>>22814
>have earthworm
>cut earthworm in half
>have two earthworms
vs
>have fennec
>cut fennec in half
>have committed grave mistakes
The winner is clear

>>22798
Who's winning the inevitable Frog vs. Cat finale?

>>22818
I dunno man, people hate cats over there.

>>22808
shut the fuck up junkie

>>22799
>Venus flytrap makes elite 8 and reaches semi-finals
>a rule is asked during finals if plant's should be allowed in the tournament

>>22826
If this happens, we absolutely NEED Jimbotnik as the humans picture. Kek.

>>22826
I would full-time campaign for humans if this was the nomination picture for them

>>22830

Lads...

Alright, who is the Candlejack/Frog of the tourney? Nobody really cares about it yet somehow consistently makes it to Top 128

>>22837
How did you say Candlejack's name without disappeari

>>22831
Same.

>>22815
>>22826
Eggman will always find a way to enter these tournaments.

>>22846
Eggman in /his/, /lit/, and /jp/ would be hilarious

>>22847
He could enter /his/ as Theodore Roosevelt, /lit/ as any of his written incarnations and /jp/ as Dr. Robotnik.

>>22798
This shit would get like 30 votes.

>>22858
all me btw

>>22858
How many did /aco/ get? /an/ is only a couple spaces lower in activity according to the leaderboard

>>22861
apparently it got 414 votes in round 1 and 278 in round 2, cant open the google forms so I guess just take the host's word.

https://desuarchive.org/aco/thread/5811652/#5818341
I also have no idea where to find the other round threads besides 1 and 2 on desuarchive

>>22861
>>22865
Yeah but you should consider a lot of those votes were /co/fags from the prior tourney's which had already happened a few times. An /an/ tournament would be new to everyone and pretty oddball.

>>22826
So would Hedgehogs be nominated with a picture of Sonic?

>>22865
I know finals had only 91 votes.

So, would Tiger vs Lion be the Duckmatch/BattlerV47 equivalent?

>>22897
Probably, but only because Tigercucks are still trying to argue with Lionchads that their animal is even decent, let alone as great as lions.

>>22851
>Teddy Roosevelt makes it to Elite Eight in a /his/ tournament
>his poll picture gets changed to Eggman
Kino

This is making me wonder how a "anything goes" tournament would go.

>>22900
the final will be Hitlerku vs a random anon that fucked up his submission

>>22902
Imagine the absolute nonsense matchups there could be
>Solid Snake vs Adam Sandler
>Jesus Christ vs a pickup truck
>an Anon's cat vs the tournament itself
>Hitler vs a rock

>>22904
Tyrannosaur would be the immediate spitevote target wouldn't he?

>>22906
Feathered Dinosaur funposting.

>>22911
>Bigfoot gets in
>it's just Eggman in a Bigfoot costume

>>22900
>>22903
boy do I have the thread for you
>>19138

>>22918
neat

>>22911
Would cryptids in general be allowed?

>>22918
Just host it on /tnt/. I've been on the /b/ Hunger Games threads and they have to deal with schizo spam.

>>22925
ones that are clearly animals and not shit like spiritual ghosts or little green men should be allowed

>>22926
>the /b/ Hunger Games threads and they have to deal with schizo spam
what?

>>22995
>kot and doe alliance
based

I hate how much I want this now.

>>22897
>>22898
I thought the duckmatch would be Bear Vs Gorilla.

>>23062
GODilla wins easily against SHITear

>>23016
Orcashitters OUT

>>22904
Are you implying T. Rex vs. Bear wouldn't be amazing? Besides, the Tyrannosaurus KEK would kneel immediately to the Grizzly SCHOLARS.

>>23835
Oh great sage of predictions.... how far will the rabbits go?

>>23840
How long do you think they last in mating?

>>23835
>No incest's get in
>Golden Retrievers get a high seed but job first round
>Some aquatic animal gets the silent majority

You guys got it all wrong
The meme match is gonna be Dog versus Cat

>>23857
what about mouse vs elephant?

>>23859
WHO DO I CHOOSE?!

Should a thread on /an/ be made to gauge interest?

>>23865
Yes

>>23856
>No incest's get in
Kink tournament when?

>>23865
>>23867
Has it been made?

>>23883
hell no

By popular demand, it's up.

>>23904
>paleoschizo
kek, does /an/ have a thing against dinosaurs?

>>23907
No, but funny enough there is one guy who might be a genuine schizophrenic who for at least a decade has been shouting featherfaggotry and genuine lies that he has gotten the nick name "Paleoschizo".

So when someone makes a weird thread in /an/, everyone assumes it's paleoschizo.

>>23904
IT BEGINS

>>23907
>>23908
>even /an/ has schizo's

>>23929
Let's think of more boards to do this with, even if it's just for the reactions.

>>23930
Just to gain more knowledge on the subject, what the fuck did Paleoschitzo do? Is he like Fusefag or Tourneyanon? Or is he like that Skippy Anon from the recent Miss /co/ tournament? Or is he like Guy and Sharktale Anon?

>>23931
/his/, /mu/ & /toy/

>>23936
You better link the threads once you post them.

>>23937
I'm not making any threads, I just said which boards could have this kind of tournament. I don't even browse them.

>/an/ is probably going to get a tournament before /a/ and /tv/
kek

Yeah let's not try to force stuff. Especially for boards like /toy/ which I don't think are even active enough to handle a tournament.
Let's just focus on the currently pending ones (/an/, /tv/ and /b/ slash /trash/ which one are we going with for that one)
I'd add /a/ here but it just might not be possible idk

>>23940
Do we even have people who could host these? It feels like we're just going to endlessly funpost and speculate the hypothetical existence of the tournaments more than actually try to make it happen

>>23945
That's the thing, the people making and participating in these hypothetical threads want to campaign and stuff, not host. Not many people want to host, unfortunately.

>>23908
>genuine lies
Ackshually, everything we know about the paleo creatures is speculation, we don't know the truth either way. He might be saying something he came up with himself with no basis for it, but in theory that's not necessarily a lie.

Just like the other tournaments, I will be voting for coompicks. That means cats, bunnies, foxes, and wolves. And to a lesser extent, dogs and birds.

>>23936
/mu/'s actually had quite a few tournaments. Back in 2019 some anon talked about making top album tournaments for each decade and year. And... he did, each and every year and decade since the 60's I think.

Fundamentals:

>Claims most modern depictions of dinosaurs are from trannies
>Absolutely hates theropod dinosaurs (I.e two legged ones)
>INSISTS that dinosaur had pronated arms, despite fossil evidence and modern dinosaurs saying otherwise
>Says that dinosaur were completely featherless, even for dinosaurs that we 100% know had quills.
>Claims that scales can turn into feathers but not feathers into scales despite the bird linage proving this retard wrong.
>And many MANY more claims
>He’s been doing this for over a decade

He’s the most infamous one, but there’s a few others like the Lemur penis guy and the paleoautist (in no circumstance do you engage in a discussion with him)

>>23978
What's the difference between paleoschizo and paleoautist?

>>23978
So he's just Shark Tale Anon but with Dinosaurs.

>>23982
Paleoschizo is generally wrong and be corrected by your average joe.

Paleoautist is... Genuinely autistic and he self-admits to. He reddit spaces, replies to one comment several times, Is absolutely no-fun guy, doesn't care about paleoart just bones, and he never ever admits in being wrong. He always likes to weasel out of a bad situation by red herring out of the argument and calling you mentally retarded.

Just don't engage him. Ever.

>>23983
Funnily enough many people think they're the same people.

>>24036
Could we get the legendary Rei vs Asuka finale in an /m/ tournament?

>>24046
Alright fine we'll do a Mr. and Ms. /pol/ then.

>>24049
Now you're getting it

>>24046
Honestly, the only one I see happening is /trash/ as a "anything goes" tournament.

>>24046
Ok, time for King and Queen of /pw/, /k/, /mu/ and /tv/

>>24046
It still fucking baffles me that /vt/ ended being the 4th most active board on the site.
In all honesty, while i don't give a fuck about virtual youtubers, a ms. /vt/ could be just as legendarily autstic and explosive as a ms. /a/.

>>24056
Someone already tried to do that. I can't remember the specifics but it did not go well.

>>24056
>>24057
run down of the /vt/ tournament that I found from last ms. /co/

>>Those of you who think the hosting was bad, allow me to teach you the horrors that were /vt/s attempt at a vtuber tournament

>someone is mad about this tournament and calls the whole thing void
>goes away for a week and returns with the "REAL" EN vtuber tournament and says the other host was a faggot, with a plan to deal with rigging
>tournament has now been boosted to 32 EN girls and been given a losers bracket so it's double elimination
>tournament ends up with bizarre split timeline shit where when suspected rigging happens, a ghost version of the match that could have been runs at the same time, basically meaning someone has to beat two other girls in two separate matches to straighten the timeline out
>final is Gawr Gura vs Amelia Watson
>the winner is... Amelia Watson, making the second tournament a complete waste of time for the same result

>>24061
So... It was hosted and there wasn't that much backlash for some reason? Wha...

>>24060
I agree, I have never heard of these literal who's in my life, although I'll just chalk it up to it being a different culture. The main thing for me however is that looking through the catalog almost every thread is a general about I'm guessing the company the steamers are partnered with, which in my mind is fucking weird. There's no regular discussion threads, funposts about a particular moment, or not even a board related meme thread, you know the things you'll see on any other board.
It's actually somewhat similar to /jp/ in that regard, but at least /jp/ has touhou threads, something some anons would minimum have a vague knowledge of, and it also has the /ona/ threads to laugh at.

>>24064
I'm surprised they have so little site presence outside of it. Guess it really does its job of containing.

>>24060
>I think it is now, one of the major containment boards for these types of people.
iirc /vt/ was always meant to be a containment board because there were so many vtuber threads on /jp/. Funnily enough, there's allowed to be one Hololive thread up on /jp/ at a time, and it always manages to get over 1000 posts. Keep in mind the bump limit on /jp/ is 300 posts.

>>24061
was it at least an all gender tournament?

>>24064
Even a different culture thingy is questionable.

I'm aware of a few v-tubers and otaku/weeb culture but for the love of god I have a hard time translating what in the ever semblance of a fuck a single /vt/ user says.

>>24071
Anyone got that document on how to host?

>>24179
Emergency Tourney Kit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18EeUba1MXZIYeLZamAITXTTLLmCzI3aIp9rQ2PzbemU/edit

>>24187
Good sending it to /an/

Hey uh it's me, The guy who did Barred from /v/.
Maybe I could try doing the /an/ and /b/ \ /trash/ tourneys? I don't think I could ever do like a "mainline" tourney with all that Microsoft Excel mumbo jumbo but something smaller that's just first 128 first serve I could potentially do

>>24574
I think /trash/ tournament would be funnier and chaotic, go for it.

>>24574
ew no

>>24574
Go ahead, no one else is stepping up to it.

>>24574
Do /trash/

>>24576
>>24626
why not /b/?

>>24629
/trash/, despite its name, is not absolute garbage like /b/ is. While both boards have the risk of porn spam and shit posting, I think /trash/ would be more civilized.

>>24630
/b/ is filled with newfags and mentally ill, /trash/ is filled with people who know the websites roots and crannies and overall are more experienced with the website.

There are gonna be shit flinging either way but at least in /trash/ you can create a normal conversation.

>>24633
if a /trash/ tournament does happen have it be the fast paced dub and GET requiring tournament like that one /mlp/ tournaments

>>24574
Does this Friday sound good for /an/? Or maybe during the wait between Co-op qualifiers and R1? I wanted to wait until after Co-op finished initially but then the hosts revealed the whole late March date thing.

>/an/ tournament
>90% of the voters will be from /tnt/
yep, we're sure getting /an/'s perspective on this poll!

>>24679
yeah do it between the waiting period

>>24683
I mean the /v/ tournaments are mostly /co/ users

>>24691
The results would be way shittier if that was true

>>24691
we need to hold a vote on this for the /tnt/ users on which boards they use, but I'm guessing most of us either regularly use both boards or just enjoy tournaments so go to where ever they're being held

>>24691
The results would be way better if that were true.

>>24683
Surely there are people here who also browse /an/.

>>24691
>source: my ass

>>24691
Yeah I don't believe that. Maybe 15% of the /v/ voters are from the /co/ tournament (as in /co/ mains that just want another tournament and aren't frequenting /v/). Even less vice versa. You have a lot of overlap too of people maining both boards, but I think the majority of /v/ tournaments is strictly /v/ anon's. Note how baffled and annoyed the general sentiment is about /co/ discussion in the /v/ threads.

>>24641
This.

>>24707

I think we should wait until September to host. This has a lot of funposting potential but it would all go to waste as an off-season tourney, where threads would be slow and tepid. If we make it an inter-tourney instead (hosted between the interim period of Ms and Mr, Mr and Queen, or Queen and King), we could advertise on the main tournaments which would bring more people to the /an/ tourney. More people = more fun.

>>24821
Isn't like the entire reason why people are pushing for stuff like King of /tv/ so there's stuff to do that's not during September - December only

damn this shit dead lmao

>>25082
Go fuck a duck.

>>24574
Alright, so now that the /v/ co-op date is set in stone, should this be started on the 3rd or the 10th?

>>26265
3rd, starting it on the 10th would mean semi-finals starts on the 17th

Oh yeah, Coayy said a while ago he wanted to help host this one. So do I. But Coayy isn't available until later parts of March so you might wanna hold off on having this tourney now, although it doesn't look like anyone stepped up either way.

>>26663
Hey, no need to stress this is a fun and chill tournament after all.

>>26664
No pressure, just letting everyone know.

>>26663
Hoping someone would host it as a test for whether or not tourney's would get banned on smaller boards. Could set the green-light for one's like /m/ and /aco/.

>>26784
given what happened with temp and /v/ I think its better if we just ask every time regardless of whether its a smaller board or not

>>26784
The jannies at /aco/ don't care at all about tournaments. They let 2021 happen without problem and without the need of contacting them.
