hopefully i can get a round or two of fun outta them. same goes for any other MD gals.
in general, i expect this year to be really toxic. with people so paranoid about rigging, i wouldn't be surprised if accusations get tossed at every unexpected result. or fuck, any candidate the accuser doesn't like will get smeared unless they're already an established dominant force.
and that's not even mentioning the jackass still angry over zorak winning. if his funposting snowballs into a broader anti-campaign sentiment, it's gonna be 2021 all over again.

Fang's comeback was a combination of being a funny pick, possibly being the most campaigned character in a /co/ tournament yet, and hype for her show's ending. Johanna doesn't really have any of that with her show's final season's airdate not even being announced yet and she has to deal with her 2021 controversy. She has fans given her high seeds and despite huge backlash, only losing to Betty by ten votes.

There isn't really a series on /co/ where the case would be as bad as touhou. But I argued before: if it's that much of an issue make a stipulation for a specific series, or just call it the touhou rule for /v/.
>>58929
>as it means more room for other series
This has been my issue with the rule. It's quite forwardly and openly a throttle on popularity; literally screwing over certain characters for being from a popular series. And the people who supported it had basically openly admitted that. Tourney's no stated goal's but the rule clearly pity's less popular or liked characters and properties for a sense of variety and what's more "interesting." The randomization rule does this too but not as blatantly.

Yeah, exactly why it doesn't show a character's strength against the odds.

Again, what? This sounds incredibly autistic, "thou must defeat top seeds by thine hand or thee is not worthy".
Randomizing prevents match autism and that's it, it's not going to suddenly fill the tournament with literal whos no one cares about because those are filtered by the Qualifiers.

Randomized brackets and three-way matches are both great rules.
The purpose of seeding is to determine the 128 most popular contestants. It's not to give the popular picks any more of an advantage than they already have. The justification that seeded pairing and resolving ties by seed "are meant to reward higher seeds" always felt like bull to me. Being a high seed is a reward within of itself, that means the character is popular and is a good position. Why would they need MORE boons?

You know that's not the spirit in which the rule was created. But regardless all non-banned characters should have their shot. The only measurement the tourney's formally go by to advance is votes. If that means a character who is seemingly loved doesn't get enough votes... well then they didn't get enough votes. The one's who did get the actual high enough votes should go on.

No, but they make it in anyway, sometimes under sketchy circumstances (see: Shirley, the Dutch girls from that wojak series, Livesey, John Silver) and unfairly gives them an advantage with known lower seeds but against other lower seeds
Later rounds are filled with literal whos when we get powerhouses facing off in round 1 and already having the stigma of a "seed" but without the easier matchups to justify it, it's bullshit and only fans of those roleplay characters are into it because it "gives them more time"

NTA but randomized brackets removes any concrete reward or advantage of being a high seed. Personally I favor higher seed moving on in a tie because it indicates the character had more pulling power and specific fans from the outset and is not just in a case of being tied with someone the more lukewarm voterbase (the one's that voted neither in qualifier) decides they prefer.

Those people are part of the tournament too, this is just their input into the overall performance of a character. If anything not having a higher seed automatically proceed in a tie actually puts a character's popularity with their fanbase into perspective of their popularity in the overall tournament and truly puts that to a test.

Some characters got strong fanbases and lesser attention in a general sense, some the opposite. It's a matter of rewarding concentrated fandom over a lighter partiality. It should be that way in my opinion at least.

Proving you're actually a popular character in a tournament and not being carried by a completely randomized bracket every round is autistic?
>>58944
That is not what a seed is. This is the exact definition. "A seed is a competitor or team in a sport or other tournament who is given a preliminary ranking for the purposes of the draw. Players/teams are "planted" into the bracket in a manner that is typically intended so that the best do not meet until later in the competition, usually based on regular season." I like the round 1 randomizations, but doing it every round would be overkill. Being a high seed should be rewarded because it's not something easy to pull off and doing it in a nomination list of hundreds of characters is crazy.

The term literal who is not actually literally. It basically just means far less popular characters in the way some use it. I don't really think actual literal whos qualify either. It's an easy term to use but I'll avoid using it next time since it's just a buzzword. My point is we are giving handicaps to less popular characters when the tournaments are partly based around popularity and seeding. It's becoming less of an achievement to make it far.

And since you tied, that means that popularity is closely comparable to the popularity of the other character among tourneygoers and more deliberation may be needed.

for like the first three rounds. Even when this mold is broken with characters like Izzy they still just lose next round anyway.

Series-limit rule should be far more a concern than bracketing considering how concrete of a value-favor it represents. It doesn't get debated enough. There has never been an adequate argument for it on /co/ beyond basically "well we should take pity on the less popular and have more variety". Why exactly? Is there a stated purpose to tourney's that would justify this?
and it's not necessarily a matter of popularity vs. meta values. Tourney's in their original form advocate no stance. Votes are the only driving factor it recognizes. Continually instituting rules for pure interest, hate of franchises, or pity participation constricts the open nature of it to something more value-aligned.
Randomized brackets are somewhat the same issue, but it's not overtly barring any character, rather it's just mixing them up once the process is already underway.
FOTM rule also can carry some of the same reservations but there's much more of a case to be made on the direct unfair bias that results from not having it. But time is an unfairness that can't really be eliminated, just hopefully reduced. I don't think it's really something that matters anyways except in specific cases of wildly popular funpost fuel like SU. Otherwise new stuff tends to be disadvantaged cause of /co/'s older userbase and attitude towards the industry.

considering how rarely ties happen, it's better to have a quick and easy way to resolve them so we can move on. and basing it off seeding makes more sense than whatever other arbitrary measure you can come up with because getting a higher seed indicates that a character is more popular in a vacuum.

Old ass argument that's been debunked already. Tourney format will obviously yield more a result of general likability over concentrated likability, which is what people really mean when they argue about tourney's as a popularity contest. The tie breaker going to higher seed is just a quick formality that gives a nod to passion over compromise.

That's like calling a dog a giraffe because it's not a cat, what? Also no, I think a lot of people use "literal who" because they themselves do not know the character making them a "literal who", which is not right either.
With thousands of characters and thousands of votes, the amount of "lesser popular" characters are very few. Randomizing does not give an advantage to them because it's random, they can still easily get fucked immediately.
>less of an achievement to make it far
By that logic, a top seed getting far is also not an achievement because they just went against less popular characters.

>>58961
Even with randomizing each round, extremely popular characters are still much more likely to win because of their inherent popularity. Winning with randomized brackets is not less of an accomplishment than a top seed cruising through a non-randomized bracket.

It reduces the tournament representing something of real achievement (i.e. the exempalr representative of the board or most0liked), or more pushes it further to a particular, very ambiguous and mutable meaning ("fun"). If it really came down to that it's fair game to giga-rig cause it's fun.

So basically you just want a more exciting early tourney, but your law shows that it should be pointless anyways, or contradictory.
>"The cream always rises to the top."
Low seeds have won over high seeds and won the whole tourney before. So you know that law isn't iron. Randomization actually further undermines it, or at least tries to in essence. Seeing as randomization could fuck over a popular character in the start, the one's who's rising to the top would more likely be a middling character that got momentum.

What makes you sure the 'best" whoever you think they are, will? It can't be told how much they get screwed in by various factors, or how long the tourney's will last.
Really it's just a matter of having solid principle about the whole thing though to define what the tourney's should be about, who deserves what and whatnot.

These aren't popularity contests because the bracket tournament aspect + campaigning completely destroys that but it also can't be an election-esce campaign race because you still need to be popular with the board to even have a chance of participating.

Some of the same things may have been happening, arguably to a lesser extent. The point is the rule favors one value system over another. Randomized brackets is clearly meant to encourage these things.

I don't think randomizing every round is enough nor are tiebreaker 3 matchups. The best choice is to completely abolish the bracket system and only have the top 128, top 64, top 32, top 16, top 8, top 4, and top 2 of all the nominated characters be voted on to make it to the next round. Make every round like qualifiers on a smaller scale.

The biggest drawback of a randomized first round for me it's that as a campaigner, I feel discouraged from supporting my pick before and during the qualifier round because now gaining a high seed becomes absolutely meaningless and the RNG might end up fucking over my character anyway. People always make this a debate between the top seeds and triple digit underdogs but forget about everyone in-between.

Campaigning still has a purpose in qualifiers, as you still need to attract more votes than 900+ other characters and maybe even remind people that your character is in the poll at all. Randomization can save your character's bacon if they just barely make the cut. Middle seeds are potentially in a bit more peril at the very beginning, yeah. Overall popularity, roughly represented by seed, still counts though.

My golden rule is to show as much support as the tournament can allow you to, meaning that once your character is out of the tournament you should stop the presses. Anything past that enters the "annoying intrusive campaigning" territory. Like, RPers are allowed to chime in occasionaly after their loss and it's cool to see other characters referenced in OC for lore reasons from time to time, but you can't spend the entire tourney acting like a sore loser.

I think the best compromise with randomized brackets would be to protect the top 8 seeds and shuffle everyone else around them. That way the lower seeds still get more of a chance, and we avoid shitty randomization scenarios like number 1. vs number 2. in the first two rounds, or having a really weak portion of the bracket since there's at least one top seed in each section.

>>58975
What's the new blood between last year's tournament and now? The only new IPs I can think of are Unicorn Warriors, Ruby Gillman, and that Hailey disney cartoon, none of which seem like strong threats. Doesn't help that Hazbin Hotel has straight up vanished. It was supposed to drop this summer and I was looking forward to the chaos.

You're not debunking it, you're providing a reason for 3-way matches yourself. If it's about general likability, then have the tied characters proceed and compete against a third party, a natural scenario in which another tie is extremely unlikely.

Because balanced matches tend to be more fun for the majority of people. Why do you think these rules gained traction in the first place?

You may think the tournament should be about your 12th seed main and a bunch of other high seeds competing, while the lower half of the bracket is just there to job and hype up the higher seeds for the first few rounds, and that it's fair because popularity contest and majority rules. But even by majority rules, this isn't fun for a lot of people. Here's the thing:

Paradoxically, the majority's opinion is not always in accord with the procedure of a straight popularity contest. The majority of people want to have fun, rather than adhere to strict formalities for principle's sake. And a straight popularity contest is not always fun. If anything, it will often be fairly predictable once the qualifiers tell you who's more popular.

Stretching a boring obvious match like Tyr'ahnee vs. Sticks The Badger to 24 hours is just a formality. A lot of people would rather have balanced matches that aren't as predictable. And there's also the fact that just because people prefer a certain character, that doesn't mean they dislike or don't care about all the lower-seed characters and want to see them eat shit in round 1. That's what randomization does. It allows for matches that are, at least generally, more fair and enjoyable for more people.

Of course, the majority rule decides what's driving the tournament. I think people just tent to vote on rules with no real understanding of the implications. "fun" again is subjective and in this case basically comes down to less predictability (essentially character variety) or, more often perhaps, the vested interest in wanting their smaller favorites to have a chance. Pretty much what it means is making it less and less a popularity contest and more a shifting game of sorts. It's reflected in tourney's being less a formal event and more a sub-culture of its own over the years.

The biggest controversy was there was nothing to really complain about cause it was a straightforward hence somewhat “boring” end, while every other show had some kind of shitstorm at the end.
That being said GF is probably the best overall. There’s a case to be made for Amphibia and even OH (which has gotten massively overhated by /co/ for de-facto reasons). Definitely not Star vs.

Yeah that was weird.
Let’s look at the data.
2018: Don’t have it, only 64 moved on so it wouldn’t be reliable anyway, and it was the first tournament.
2019: 64-65. Higher, steady, number might be artificially slightly lower due to how many people voted for Spinel.
2020: 78-79. Increase. Makes sense, total number of voters increased a bit(not as much, but if you account for some of the 2019 voters being bots it checks out.
2021: 77-78. More or less the same, a few more ladies got series limited, overall voter count was similar if slightly higher. Checks out again.

Everything up until this point makes sense. There’s an easy to measure very consistent ratio between total voters and number needed to get through qualifiers(especially if you correct for the Peruvians in 2019 and remove 20-30% from the total)

Then in 2022 it randomly jumps to 114-115 votes to qualify. Despite this, the total number of voters in the rounds actually decreased. Something fucky happened here.

This year it should realistically be in the 76-80 range with no foul play

The only thing that would fit that is Anon’s individually voting way more than normal. You can pick as many characters as you want so seemingly this year for some reason anons were on average voting for far more characters than normal compared to prior years. No clue why though.

For Ms. /co/'s qualifiers, lowers because of people quitting after the rigging and NSA letting it happen or increases because of the overlap with the /v/ tournaments and because people are showing up to see the controversy this year. For Mr. /co/'s qualifiers, I just expect an increase with both the overlap and Ms. /co/ refugees that never bothered with it before. If we get a new voting method, it's just going down for both not because of rigging, but also because of some not wanting to use it.

It’s a /tnt/ autism circlejerk. This place talks about so much shit most people don’t care about, most of the Genndy hate is from a single schizo on /co/.

I also doubt there’s going to be a significant drop in voters because most people don’t give a shit about the finale “controversy”. The vast majority of the voters don’t think about tournaments year round like we do.

However, I don’t see UWE doing well at all given the show and character receptions. But that’s more of an individual show than a Genndy as a whole issue.

Genndy just makes great characters that people like, that’s it.

Everyone here has to deal with being associated with a bad tournament and some carry the weight more than others like Johanna and Hilda. Others have other factors like Muriel only getting far due to her voice actor dying and Miss Pauling being /v/. The one that has the best chance is probably Lord Dominator as she was a snub the two years prior to becoming elite eight needing to be taken out by the winners and Eris who is now a meme.
So tl;dr, the only ones that stand a chance are EVE, Eris, and Lord Dominator. The others have no long term appeal or are going to be spitevoted.

Ms. /co/ 2022 was a shitshow because of the open rigging. I don't expect things to get as bad, but at the same I don't feel like we did enough to dissuade the riggers from doing the same thing this year. Asterisk or no asterisk they still took up like half the elite 8 and got 2nd place.

That aside, it's hard to predict the controversies since they usually arise from upsets in the bracket. That being said, I can foresee some slap-fights over the following
>Lois Lane's poll picture being the tomboy one from the new show and causing comic fags to sperg out
>Gwen Stacy getting plagued with blacked and tranny spite campaigns
>The first person who posts an AI image or chatbot for their character which leads to arguments about 'lazy campaigning' or something like that

I think there’s a misunderstanding here, I didn’t say 2022 wasn’t bad, I said fang saved it from being the worst year. There’s a difference there
>fang didn’t stop shit
She beat shirley pre and post de-rigging. She stopped the riggers from having a leg to stand on with “but we won the vote”
>I think fang is sexy

I'll admit I was never a fan of Fang's campaign, but my beef is with how the finale was handled and not with her. I'm sure most would say the same thing if you asked them.
You're constructing a glorified narrative in your head where Fang is this savior from on high and all who oppose her are bitter and spiteful, probably because you can't cope with your waifu's win being tarnished by a horribly mishandled finale.

I thought about this too at the time and wondered if the tourney had any point in being legitimate at all if the non-autistic voter-base just didn't care. I think it was apathy + "silent majority" not following the thread autism and just finding Shirley an interesting pick + maybe more rigging for her. By the final round there were people openly supporting her as a fuck you to the tourney's too.

You know, I kind of thought the Amphibia girls got a bum deal last year (don't care much for the show, but I kinda like Sasha), but the continual infighting and tribewars with the Owls have become so obnoxious I honestly think another Round 1 blowout will be what they deserve

Ghost show...Libbyfag's obnoxiousness and the Andrea gay reveal have tanked their chances. Molly herself is great, but has to bear the brunt of not just a crappy second season and the general backlash toward quirky brown MCs

The (non-playful) tribewars comes from literally one board schizo who's spammed on both sides for years, unironically. He's STILL at it sometimes even though both shows have ended a while ago. Pretty much every fan of either is a fan of both or doesn't really care enough about the other show.

People always talk about these tribe wars but I haven't seen them happen for months aside from one or two schizos in threads very rarely. I think you just like this narrative about tribe wars as some sort of "rational" justification for DTVA doing poorly, when the truth is tourneygoers just hate DTVA on instinct at this point and probably will until more zoomers and alphas pour into /co/ in a few years.

Because the shows have been over for several months. But I agree, that's not the real reason. It's mainly an inter-generational thing. DTVA are zoomie shows that got over and defined an era, and ended up standing for what older/millenial crowd disliked in the industry (justified or not). I don't think any campaigning will really help it, just the passage of time (assuming these tourney's go on for several more years).

So I guess now's a good time to pop the question. How're we gonna handle voting?
A while ago I suggested having nominations take place in 5 threads spread evenly throughout the day instead of the normal 10 to reduce people in the latter half spamming throwaways purely to bloat everything. A decent amount of people seemed to like it. Perhaps we could test this for Ms. /co/? It'd help incentivize Anons to submit characters that they think are actually important instead of just whatever obscure thing comes to mind.
>inb4 "BLAH BLAH YOU ONLY WANT THIS SO YOUR LITERAL WHOS HAVE A BETTER CHANCE!"
Quite the opposite actually. I checked 2022's king of /v/ list for comparison a while back and if you stopped after Thread 5, the only members of the top 128 we'd lose are Companion Cube, Parappa, Big Daddy, Helltaker and most notably Coach (11th seed). Basically everyone else in there were nowhere close to even making it. I think we can safely assume a similar result for king of /co/ too. Plus it would also take a huge load of stress off the host's backs.

>What's the problem this is meant to solve?
The bloat problem recent years have been experiencing. We've gone from a reasonable & perfectly fine ~400-500ish in past years to freaking 1,488 (Mr. co) and 1,373 (king /v/) in 2022. People are overdoing it and I doubt the masses will slow down, especially the one guy who nominated nearly 100 characters just because he could. Plus lower counts mean potentially things like quicker wait times & pictures in the qualifiers vote.
>I feel like they wouldn't take the job if they didn't think they could handle it, and would use their own discretion about how often threads are created if not. Also we have a hosting robit now.
Okay this one is fair, I'll give you that one.
>And the cases you mentioned of qualifiers appearing late into nominations is actually reason enough for me to say keep things as they are.
I'm sorry if this comes off as a bit asshole-ish but there's always going to be characters that end up left behind. It doesn't matter if it's here (Layton, Omni-Man) or on the actual boards (Spy, Alien Hominoid, Spyro) it's just how it goes man. You can't win 'em all. If anything the limited number of threads might remind people to nominate actual important choices first instead of Rubix from the 1980's cult classic hit "Rubik, the Amazing Cube".
>>60024
This would just make it harder for legitimate, good-faith characters to get enough votes. Wouldn't even solve the samefag problem they'd just simply spam faster
>>60025
If we adjust the average 300 images out for people posting pictures that aren't for characters, failed noms or repeats, You'd still get around say ~115 per thread.
5 x 115 gives us around 575 picks to choose from, which is a very healthy amount. And that's not even counting for things like Series limits.
For every obscure hag from a Romanian webseries you nominate there would be 5 anons around the corner ready to nominate a more recognizable character.

The reason it is done the way it is is to make sure everyone from every time zone or who are busy gets a chance to nominate their character. This still won't stop characters with little chance from getting nominated either. If you did it this way, there would have to be different times given for each thread announced prior to them being posted and that seems like a hassle that will still miss some people. I wish we had less nominations too as it takes awhile to scroll through but it's just an annoyance with no good solutions that won't create more problems.

I guess I don't see anything about it as being broken and in need of fixing. I'm not really concerned about characters I don't care about simply being there, because either way I'll be skipping over a lot of characters I don't care about. What I am concerned about as a voter is characters I care about being there, and if they show up a couple threads after they really should, that's not a big deal. I'm just glad they make it. There's always going to be a cutoff, but I don't really see the need to increase limitations on nominations. I would maybe agree with a higher support threshold as the number of voters increases. The number we use currently probably is too low when the number of votes required to even get to the bracket is in the dozens if not 100+.

Yep, but the German version is more obscure... at least she was until the /trash/ threads :P

I was referring to the series general threads. As for the rpers I don't think its any worse than sponge rapist or scat megamind. I think Libby got particular bad rep from encroaching so much on /v/ threads, otherwise I think it's just a matter of the source material being controversial.
