Made this since we seem to be having trouble with dates. Note I am not an official host so these aren't the actual dates or anything, just estimations aligning with (what I think is) the common consensus

>May - Emperor of the /an/imals
>June - Heroes and Villains
>July - /cov/
>August - /trash/ tourney
>September - December is normal programming as usual but with /aco/ inserted somewhere between
2024

How are we going to do 4 tournaments in one month?

I wouldn't really call anything up to September common consensus. It's really up to hosts, and their word/schedule's not clear at the moment. Coayynon's kind of waiting for Samaritanon's hero/villain schedule, and Balls just hasn't been around since co-op (or at least said anything). Balls did express interest in /an/ at some point, and Coayynon in /trash/ and /cov/.

There should be at least a fourth host around that isn't Cumnuts or Temp. If Coayynon and Samaritanon managed to host Tag-Team and Co-op effectively without having so much knowledge about the polls I really wonder if hosting is actually less complicated than it's made to be. Of course, we're also talking about a small board like /tnt/ though.

Well it’s not that there aren’t willing hosts for things so much, just that there isn’t a big mapped schedule so things won’t overlap or conflict between everyone.

thanks for the thread, was gonna rebump the /an/ one but I'll post it here
so what I'm currently thinking is Friday 12th May 7pm est or the next two fridays after that (mostly because I'm busy and the bulk of the work will go over the weekend where I have time so if one week I can't do it we've 2 more chances)

same as always, submit the animal and a picture, 12 votes needed to get in (thought this because of the zodiac having 12 animals)
can be any fauna or flora, currently alive or extinct, probably wanna stay to just the base animal (like so submitting dog would cover all dogs so we don't have to submit every good boy breed in)

There's no way we'll be able to do 4 tourneys back to back but I MIGHT have a good idea for it.
>Heroes and Villains are combined into one tourney
>Gimmick is that, alongside the normal nomination procedures, you have to list if your character is a villain or hero
>Heroes and Villains are separated into different voting sections
>instead of top 128 it's the respective top 64s for the two teams
>series limit is bumped down to two but not universally, just for the individual brackets (meaning if you play cards right then you can have 4 characters from a single series make it)
>No idea if seeding should be randomized or normal but one side gets flipped so it's top hero seed versus top villain seed
thoughts?

If you're saying one side of the bracket for heroes and one for villains, that's dumb and defeats the purpose other than the finale will be a hero vs. a villain. Heroes and Villains should be seperate events.

heavens no!
I mean like say Knuckles gets voted into first place for the Heroes side of the poll, he'd be going up against Pot of Greed from Yu-Gi-Oh! who got 1st place in the Villains side of the poll. Then in the next round whoever won that goes up against the victor of the 64 hero seed / 64 villain seed match

Huh, a tourney already? Guess I'll have to get off my ass and work again on that bot earlier than I thought. The AI model will be worthless there since it only recognises names of people/corporations/businesses but the /an/ tourey would be a fine place to test the underlying logic.
And also the vote graphing program should you release that data.

This might overwork the hosts and I don't know if there's time for this, but maybe we try doing two tournaments a month. It's now almost impossible to do one tournament a month before the main events start even if we just did the heroes and villains tournaments. Since we are very /v/ heavy right now, we should focus on the /v/ tournaments first. In June, maybe heroes in the first half and /v/illains in the second half then the same for /co/ in July and /cov/ and /trash/ in August if that's possible with the hosts' schedules.

So the original plan was /cov/ first friday July and /trash/ first friday August but seems like the new scheduling of heroes/villains conflicts heavily and would need a major squeeze. Might not do them now, or just wait next year post-main tourney's.

Don't have the threads immediately one after another. instead have them at certain time intervals.
That would mean one every 4.8 hours & threads usually last 1-2 hrs
