nominations thread up

https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4520756

Well shit, it's going more swimmingly then I thought it would.

Some of these nominations are way more specific than I thought things would be.

>>35506
Someone do me a favour and test this script on that thread
https://github.com/ZamboLambo/J3nny

I'd do it myself but selenium is throwing a shitfit about the linux firefox binary I use in my main machine, visual studio is *for some ungodly reason* not detecting the python interpreter in another machine after installing python twice and I don't have the time to deal with this shiet

>>35525
>not using Doom music

haha jizz shrooms

>>35527
That's Qualifiers.

Things are getting slow.

>>35531
well yeah, it's midnight over here in burgerland

I'm guessing no qualifier? Looks like it could just be a 32-64 thing culled by whoever is nominated first.

>>35534
from the looks of things, we could potentially reach 128 before the time limit if the moment from earlier comes back

>>35536
If you're supporting Monkeys, why did you post a rat?

>>35534
>>35535
might be looking that way possibly, from the current count 64

>>35542
There are currently 63.
I could nominimate number 64.

>>35513
You didn’t nominate the cuttlefish…

I'm surprised no one nominated the bear or gorilla.

>>35548
I already nominated the best great ape, PONGO

Sheit we might have too many meme picks

>>35544
currently at 114, so we'll probably get a full 128 tourney

>>35567
Pl/an/ts will win.

>40 ips
not bad

>>35569
I wonder how many of them came from here.

Someone pointed out that Eggman has missed out being in Miss /aco/

fuck how many spaces are left?

>>35574
wait shit are we actually doing qualifiers?

>>35576
I counted 130 contestants.

TIM ALLENBROS WE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE

>>35586
You guys are now in.

4 Minutes Before Death (Variation) - SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day

150 nominations, wow it actually worked

Qualifiers round is up!
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4521773

>>35591
hopefully I can find some decent images to use as OP's don't want them to be too memey

well this is actually happening.

>>35593
wont lie I was doubtful given the speed of the discussion thread but once we got the date down and actually got nominations in it picked up fast
also I keked hard seeing someone nom Snails after the fact

so who are you guys hoping DON'T make it past qualifiers?

>>35623
literal who organisms.

Damn, slow day both here and in the thread
makes sense since it's a slower board but here too?

>>35624
WHOmans.

>>35624
WHOnimals

>>35644
Well, that answers my question on how many people came from here, 28 at minimum.

>>35644
>inb4 it's a Spy vs Spy and Partners in Crime situation where they lose in the first two rounds

>>35623
The wasps, they don’t deserve glory

>yo mama lol: 1 vote

>>35660
yeah I saw at like 3-4 hours to go I'd left an free option at the bottom so some anons left that and some other messages
also holy shit doing 128 noms by yourself is really takes time, mostly just uploading the images taking like 8-10s each

round one thread link
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4522799#top

make the Count lose to the pigs.

btw Balls the form doesn't reflect a traditional seeded bracket (I'm assuming that's what you were going for). Looks like matches are ordered by top seed to bottom (e.g. 1 vs. 128, 2 vs. 127, 3 vs. 126 ect,) instead of even seeding spread (1 vs. 128, 64 vs. 63, 32 vs. 97).
https://www.printyourbrackets.com/128-team-seeded-tournament-bracket.html

>>35668
oh damn. I'm not gonna say this completely ruins the tourney or anything since this is still a valid seeding order but holy shit R2 sounds like it's gonna be a bloodbath. Doesn't this mean that top seed are gonna be against eachother?

>>35676
It can just be adjusted for the correct face-off's next round (if that's what balls was going for). The same mistake was made in the R1 form of the last tag team tourney and it was simply adjusted the next round form.

>>35677
>>35678
sad
I was sort of looking forward for the absolute mayhem it could cause. Could you imagine if something like that was in KO/v/?

>>35678
I mean it's still up to Balls if he wants to go through with it lol.

>>35668
ah shit I really messed up lol, just got back from work
okay what should we do, should we redo the first round over?

>>35695
I say keep it since we're already balls deep into round 1 and it'll be interesting to see how things play out with this bracket set-up

>>35695
You don't have to redo anything. The order of the matches are fucked, not the matches themselves. Just fix the order in the next poll using the link the anon gave you.

>Garloid lost Round 1
I feel... imminent disappointment

>>35722
aye seems the meme picks didn't do so well
I was rooting for sheep because jumping spider's eyes creep me out and I don't wanna stare at them more than I have too

>>35725
What I'm hearing is, you want more jumping spiders.

>>35740
>people were posting Hooty and Luz for Owls
>Owls lost in round 1
DTVA can't even catch a break in /an/. Kek.

>>35760
>This is quite literally the Battler vs Agent 47 of /an/
Oh come on, it can't be that terrible.

>>35760
Sweet.
Voting stingray and possum now.

>>35767
Where does this girl originate from?

round 3
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/452476

>>35808
I thought it was on purpose.

>"dude x will totally win"
>"x is going to finals"
>bunch of arguing over x's "inevitable" victory and how lame/cool it is
>x proceeds to lose that very round
Every fucking time. If it wasn't a psyop you nigs need to learn to not shoot yourself in the foot.

>>35738
>>35666
>gets cursed trips
>lose

>>35817
Fitting.

>>35810
Rule of thumb, the character that usually doesn’t get that many “he will win this round” has the highest possibility of winning tournaments.

There’s some amazing matchups here
>Trex vs grizzly bear( a reoccurring old /an/ meme)
>Penguin vs bumblebee (Dedede vs queen sectona)
>Red kangaroo vs kiwi(Australia vs New Zealand)
>Shark vs squid(classic deep sea matchup)

If T. rex makes it to the E8 it’ll be the third time a tyrannosaurus has done so.

>>35884
That would be dope.
Dinosaurs are cool.

Sorry just posting my support for Snake.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Theme [FLAC]

>>35889
I thought T. rex would be stomped round 1 due to contrarians, but seems to be doing well in the top 32. Spinosaurus getting BTFO round 1 shocked me because of the spino spam that tends to occur in Dino threads. Guess it is a couple of autists after all

>>35892
I wonder how a feathered T-Rex pic would have done.

>>35900
Please don't hurt my family, Bellsprout. I voted for plants like you asked.

>>35902
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLANTS
Vote for the Kiwi and the Bumble Bee, they're the best we have now.

>E8 rex might happen
I didn’t think this would happen in (66) million years

>>35900
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME.

>plants out
>human got BTFO a couple rounds ago
>squid spam finally stops
Based

>>35907
Rigged tournament.

Did you guys see the song?

>>35910
The Snake Eater one? Yeah, I liked it. I might do a vocaroo of it later this round even though I'm a fucking awful singer.

With the amount of non-/an/posting, I think this should stay as a one-off.

>>35922
Zorak, have your experiences with Fang in bed taught you nothing?

>>35922
Sorry Zorak but I'm voting for Kiwi.

quarterfinals thread up
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4527130

also we've got our elite 8
>Giant Pacific Octopus
>Mantis Shrimp
>Shark
>Crow
>Gorilla
>Orangutan
>T-Rex
>Axolotl

>>36012
Yup, the third time a T-Rex was in the elite eight.

>>36012
>>36015
>Axolotl vs T-Rex

Mother of fuck that's some fight. How would an Axolotl win this one?

>E8 rex
Holy shit
I hope he can go further

>>36023
I doubt it will.

>>36029
I doubted that it would go any far, and yet it made it to the elite 8, even beating cow and racoon.

>if T. rex makes it past this round then it’ll be the third time a T. rex made it to the semifinals
Guess 4chan really likes T Rex’s huh.

>>36088
I guess I'll nominate Tyrantrum for King /v/, then.

>>36090
/v/ was discussing Ms 2022 and they pretty much unanimously agreed that Fang winning was a great choice and that “/co/ actually picked a good winner”

>>36092
If a Pokemon were to win, I would rather have Regigigas.

>>36092
>>36093
Nah, Pokemon is too much a spitevote target.

>>36095
Speaking of Pokemon, is /vp/ open to tournaments?

>>36096
I wouldn’t touch that autism hive with a 39 and a half foot poll.
(Yes the spelling is a joke)
I used to be a regular there before I left for a while and then went back. It’s full schizo tier. They have weekly threads for a waifu character that hasn’t been in the show or games for 7 years.

>>36099
Sounds like normal stuff for Pokemon Waifus/Shipping considering I know of Misty x Ash shippers still carrying the torch.

>>36101
At least misty shows up from time to time and doesn’t have a dedicated general. Serena hasn’t been around for almost a decade so it’s just festering autism. Think /mlp/ but for a single character

>>36102
She was in Journeys and XY is still relatively recent. Don't feel like that's any more autistic than the Hex Maniac waifufags.

semifinals thread
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4528168

>rex in semifinals
>just slaughtered axolotl
Holy shit let’s go

>>36108
What’s more surprising is that every other match was nearly even only being beaten by a small margin. If T-rex continues then we might actually see a second T-Rex win…

>>36108
Yeah, I kind of expected this after it beat Kiwi by a good margin. Trex is probably winning.

>>36110
>>36109
Hoping for crow vs rex finale. It’s pretty thematic. Now that I think about it, good ol rexy has had a few great matches.
>rex vs grizzly
>rex vs gorilla

>>36111
>thematic
I'm hoping for a "got ther based on their actual merits" finale.

>>36112
Crows are awesome animals and worthy finalists. Their intelligence is absurd and they look so cool.

>>36113
I'm not dissing them. I actually like the crow and t. rex the most of the semi-finalists.

>>36114
It hurt a little to vote against mantis shrimp, I remember learning about the dude from Ze Frank and it inspired me to do a junior year biology project on the peacock mantis shrimp. I always liked making my projects about unique and interesting things instead of just a generic topic.

I don't really get the mantis shrimp thing but at least grass lost to a worthy opponent.

>>36117
What don’t you get about mantis shrimps?

>>36118
Why it got this far.
I just ain't impressed by them.

>>36121
They’re pretty cool
>trinocular eyeballs
>can see like 7 colors we cannot imagine
>claws hit so hard it creates a cavitation bubble
>the force boils the water around its claws
>it’s shell can withstand hundreds of strikes before needing to molt
>just cool looking and colorful

>>36095
Won't stop me from trying.

>>36096
Eh, I don't think a Pokémon-only tournament would be particularly interesting. Plus, /vp/ is /vp/.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the go to dinosaur might win. Everyone loves dinosaurs, it’s one of the few topics that have been found to have very positive connotations on both sides of the American political aisle. People just love dinosaurs.

>>36125
The T. Rex is a boring dinosaur.

I can't believe a single plant didn't make E8.

>>36150
>>36151
Is this going to be the main cope if rex wins?

>>36127
>Largest Carnivorous land animal to ever exist
>One of the best eyesights in the animal kingdom
>Strongest bite force out of any terrestrial predator
>Infused leg bones which gave it ability to be dexterous even for its size
>Each life stage filled a niche in the eco-system as to avoid competition
>This also resulted in there being little to no other predators in the formations T. Rex was present in
>Largest brain out of any theropod in history

Come again?

>>36154
That anon has the mentality that I thought would dominate this tournament. People just don't know and assume it's boring because it's everywhere.

>>36099
>They have weekly threads for a waifu character that hasn’t been in the show or games for 7 years.
This is their biggest autism feat? /mlp/ has generals for background characters

>>36163
With a lot of fanmade content and headcanons, and some breadcrumbs from the show.

>>36154
It's the Mario of dinosaurs.

>>36167
I think you’re just stupid

>>36167
T. Rex actually might win unlike jobrio.

>>36167
So it's iconic and good?

>>36184
And only hated by a group of autistic furries?

>>36190
I’m sorry monke

>>36191
It’s alright, it’s just frustrating at times that mods are encouraging this type of behavior

>>36192
Mods are really bad lately and have been protecting a bunch of schizo’s on /co/.

>>36182
Rigged

>>36184
It's iconic

>>36194
>seething
Hey looks like we might get salt this year after all!

>>36195
Sarcasm Salt

>tfw no spoilers for the final round reveal
also I dont think we need an after-party thread, but I wont stop anons from making one once the actual finals thread archives

>octopus didn’t win despite killing Eggkek
Mmm…

>>36198
The curse only works for /v/ tournaments.

>>36198
Clearly, the Octos weren't the ones rigging.

THEROPOD FINALE LETS GOOOO

and there's the final thread link
https://boards.4channel.org/an/thread/4529242

>>36205
Did you enjoy the message I left for you?

Winner becomes spirit animal of /tnt/.

>>36221
Then it should be the Crow because of the Murder games

10 minutes left until someone earns the crown of the lion

Time to see the winner

Confirmed for a follow up tournament possibly next year and mantis shrimp takes bronze metal

Winner is…CAW CAW CAW the crow

>>36270

>>36271
It's not contrarian. I just liked the crow posting more.
