/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>June - Heroes and Villains
How are we going to do 4 tournaments in one month?

>>34155
I HAVE NO IDEA!

>>34152
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.

>>34169
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.

>>34152
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)

>>34155
Top 64 each, 1st placers duke it out in the end

>>34174
That's still 28 days with like one day of breathing room inbetween.

>>34172
Cool. Are you planning this happening on /an/ or here?

>>34180
>>34183
yes, don't see a reason to ask permission since that thread went well, if mods/jannies do delete them I'll then contact them

>>34189
>needing a rigged tournament to even consider winning
Even Nintendo has 2 Queens.

>>34185
Catbros. This is our chance.

>>34152
>2024
>Trio of /co/
Thought that was happening this year

>>34262
Wasn't his spirit animal or something a wolf?

>>34262
I mean, there's plenty of animals with guts.

>>34254
it's replacing tag team

>>34155
>>34174
>>34178
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?

>>34292
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.

>>34293
>one side of the bracket for heroes and one for villains
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

>>34292
No, both should be like the Queen and King tournaments, except Heroes & Villains instead of Female & Male.

>>34292
>>34297
ehhh nah. Still kind of defeats the point.

>>34298
>>34308
well do you guys have any better ideas?

>>34319
Just have two of them at the same time :)

>>34320
but how would that work?

>>34332
Just two threads, have each round be two days instead of one.

>>34334
I guess that could work...
but what months would they be hosted in?

>>34364
That just depends on the hosts, they are the ones who decide the dates.

>>34292
That's just tag team / co-op with a theme

>>34172
should I or someone else make a thread on /an/ so it's not just us appearing out of nowhere?

>>34480
If you're going to announce it happening, then yes.

>>34481
threads up

>>34172
>may 12th
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.

I'd be willing to do /cov/ and /trash/ on this schedule. Still don't know samaritanon's heroes/villains schedule though.

>>34580
/cov/ should be easy pissy if we do it here. For /trash/, the jannies barely even exist so there's literally nothing to worry about hosting there.

>>34502
this thread is surprisingly slow. I remember the one back in February being more lively

>>34769
I'm waiting to hear back from someone and then I'll reveal the timer/date we can start, that should help

>>34769
Well /an/ is a slow board

>>34832
The hell? Last I checked it was on par with /aco/.

>>34832
>/b/ isn't in the top 5 most popular boards

damn.

>>34832
>the fucking /vt/ board in the top 5
lmao

>>34881
well that's what happens when you let a fun board get overrun with coombrains

I'm curious is this is setting a yearly schedule standard of sorts or if there's gonna be a new lineup or lack of one next year. Basically how many of these are gonna be one time things.

Any thoughts on this recent tournament idea
>>34381

>>35084
I'd participate in it

>>34685
That of course would be the plan. After /an/ I can probably set the specific dates.

>>35205
Will Heroes and /v/illains or /cov/ happen first?

>>35206
Don't know. Heroes/villains schedule is still up to samaritanon. I'd definitely do /cov/ after June. Date can be malleable.

>>35205
Gonna prepare before July then.

>>34152
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.

>>35317
I think it needs to be figured out first if samaritanon's even around. He's the guy that took the reins for the heroes/villains stuff and he's just been silent for months.

>>35319
When should we start panicking?

>>35324
immediately like always

>>35319
Can Ballsanon or Coayynon try to contact him?

>>35335
I can shoot him an e-mail. Don't know if he checks that one though.

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.

>>36354
Wasn't Heroes and Villains in June?

>>36425
They can't all be done in June, and the rough schedule for it as I was informed will involve parts of July and August.

>>36446
Oh okay.
Could always do one or both in September, since there's nothing interesting happening that month :^)

>>36446
I admire your dedication for these tournaments, even if they aren't the main ones you, Samaritanon and Balls have managed to keep me more interested on these.

>>36447
yeah the 3 weeks inbetween main tournaments could be the best time to do these since they're also /co/-/v/ relevant

>>36456
Thanks, it's fun trying to make stuff happen.
>>36479
samaritanon actually suggested /cov/ could be done October between /co/ and /v/ tourney's. I don't know if I'll be available then and my idea was having it post tag team and co-op, but I can consider that.

>>36547
I guess the /trash/ tournament will have to wait after all. However, I understand the pressure knowing Ms. /aco/ is also approaching after Ms. /co/.

Guess this would be a good time to discuss this.
Thoughts on limiting the nomination round to 5 threads only?

>>36957
We still have to consider timezones and people being busy. When it comes to the characters that actually have a chance, someone has to nominate them. The fluff is something we unfortunately have to deal with.

>>36959
>We still have to consider timezones and people being busy.
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
