fricks me up how she literally never showed up in anything ever again. like coombait aside she has a really cool design and making the martians some weird future egyptian thing was a cool idea
I think one of the writers Rick & Morty writers hired for Season 3 wanted Queen Tyr'ahnee to at least make a cameo appearance. She grew up with Duck Dodger 2003, and Tyr was one of her favorite characters. wasHowever, Justin Roiland was too rejected every such proposal.
Sauce: dude trust me.
>she literally never showed up in anything ever again
they accidentally made her too sexy, plus the show was mainly focused on marvin and duck if I remember correctly. A shame but hey at least we had her for a time.
I’ll never understand why you all care so much about a dumb voting contest. You could at least contain it to one thread instead of spamming the entire board with this shit.
NTA but I love my waifu so much that I stopped nominating her in these things because you guys spoiled the fun and I don't want her associated with tournament shit
The tournaments are, or were, fun but I agree people have grown too obsessive about it. Most likely for the same reason that spawned tourneyanon:
The idea of the board coming together as a community.
That's why they made like 10 bajillion new side tournaments, so they could feel that year round instead of having to wait once or twice a year. They ruined what made it special for instant gratification, devolving the fun into a yelling contest where a character only deserves to win if they can stay afloat.
I don't care what the 15 people on /tnt/ are doing to try and make a dopamine hit, no one participates in that shit
Hundreds of people only participate in the Cinemaphile tournament
did we shift into another universe again? since when did mollygays start spitting facts like this? the heroes and villains tournaments seem way too desperate, the Cinemaphile one was fine
heroes and villains should just be one-offs since they're just too similar to the main ones plus they're not that strict (non-heroes and non-villains being nominated etc)
nah but if you're doing a themed tournament you should at the very least try and nominate actual villains and heroes but it seems to just be protagonists and antagonists mainly which is making them seem like mini main tournaments
This, plus tag team put everything in jeopardy to soothe an ego. The four we have are fine.
I'm so glad that reaction was overblown and the mods didn't give a shit about temp's baby rage fit
still the main ones we have are fine and any others should either be on other boards or at least fun (shitpost tournament)
Cinemaphile was a fine one-off because it was an actual board tournament so people who never participate in any were joining in
The reason Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile work so well is the majority of participants don't engage in anything besides their respective board tournaments, so they ignore everything for a year then shitpost for the week they are ongoing. It's an actual board who might never talks with each other coming together for the same event
The reason off-board tourneys suck is because it's not a community of different people coming together, it's the "community" of the same 15 autists putting on different "roleplay" personas to interact with each other. You don't even know what you're voting for and there's never new blood, it's people who want that high year round but they don't have the variance of participants to ever make it work.
>there's never new blood
There is but it's always the most random slop you've never heard of like hhgreg. And when you ask who the frick it is, they always say >lol u newbie? Cinemaphile loves this character
I don't think my point was clear
What I meant was the same exact group of individuals participate in those tournaments without change, just putting on a new persona or character they heavily support. The person who spammed HHGregg would go into one of the /tnt/ Cinemaphile tournaments and support another character
It's a very closed group who want that high every month of the year when most people just are cool with two weeks of the year to make it special

Temp has always been the well intentioned idiot. I’ve been saying that since Day 1. Though the idiot part might be slightly outdated, he did fine running the polls in Tag Team last time.
He wanted to keep the rules the way Stats had them and not change bracketing. He wanted to get Tag Team Tournament back on Cinemaphile because he was bitter at Fuse(and also said something about how that was the origin of the side tournaments and people going to Pluschan, so if Tag Team left Pluschan he’d kill the weed at the root and the other side tourneys would die out or something like that)
Then he said something about the Romans and Vulgar Latin and how the clique on Pluschan was frozen in time like colonists and would culturally diverge and if he didn’t bring things back into the fold there would be a crisis or something. Which I don’t get half his metaphors, but seemingly the divide part came true.
I don’t think Temp was that technically qualified especially at first, and he absolutely fricking sucks at crisis Managment, but in terms of big ideas and long term trends sadly most of his fears are coming to pass.

On his last ever post Temp blamed the tournaments problems on two main issues.
Fusegay getting the Tag Team banned in 2020 leading to factionalism(some people on Pluschan increasingly doing their own thing and becoming disconnected from the main tournaments) and Statsanon vanishing in 2021(leading to a lack of solid leadership during crisis and NSA deciding to start changing a bunch of things and rocking the boat)
He also basically said he thought it was too late to fix it without burning the whole thing to the ground at this point and that he just wished Stats was still here and that Fuse never existed.

The Tag-Team controversy is what was the final nail, but as a whole I think there's a massive disconnect from the Cinemaphile tournament group and the /tnt/ group
Namely, the Cinemaphile group is the kind that sees tournaments as little communities of Cinemaphile coming together, something that should last a week then everyone goes their separate ways for a year. That it should vote for the best Cinemaphile characters as a whole based on personality, looks, content, etc. Likes fanart and funny moments as OC.
The /tnt/ group sees themselves more as a direct community. They think that tournaments should happen as often as possible. They take heavy consideration of campaigning, especially roleplay but also different kind of effort-posts, and characters should be voted based on who has the best "campaign" instead of voting for the favorite or even knowing who they are. They consider tournaments more as this 4D strategy chess game to get a character to win or be eliminated more then a purely opinion based contest on the character quality themselves.
The disconnect is these two groups see tournaments as entirely different things with different purposes

Hi I’m the one who started the map. I’m glad people are excited for it again this year!
I always got the impression that Cinemaphile had a decent amount of oldgays, but since it's always a character with recent attention maybe not?
I feel like classic, non-current ladies are a better more timeless representation of Cinemaphile's tastes. I think Tyr'ahnee would be a good fit, canonically she was already Ms. Mars.
>tfw all Chel pictures in the Ms. Cinemaphile booru were done by her opponents and not for her
>nominated Chel the first few times >she never wins, but always places just high enough that she gets disqualified from running the following year
Is that rule necessary, especially considering that current events are what usually make the difference?
Those different characters that win are usually just fads that people won't care about later
Is there much variation in the elite 8? I know Chel always makes it every time she runs. It kind of feels like it's a kind of purgatory for popular characters that prevents them from winning. Your Chels, Ravens, and Frankies are just going to take up those spots indefinitely instead of maybe getting more of a chance to win and having their nominations put to rest
The late 90s-early 2000s period is way more popular and the bias leans towards, Mr Cinemaphile has only had one winner not in that sweet spot of year ranges
Ms Cinemaphile would be similar if it didn’t become the heaviest source of FOTMs and spiteposts. The spiting in particular if you noted are all against late 90s-early 2000s girls

It's gonna be the new Lois Lane that wins it this year, isn't it?
E8 is going back into being needed because people are starting to come back routinely again. We hit a bit of a dead patch for a year or two, but we’re back to regulars
He’s not wrong, it’s Ms rigged now and your a fool to think it’s not.

Nope, never enough, she deserved to compete in the final round.
There’s no such thing as an anti-waifu candidate because at the end of the day it’s people being legitimately enthusiastic about a cartoon character. That’s like calling every oddball in the tournaments a meme pick.
Well sure, Spinel was an example of an outside rigging winning. Fang was at best a no contest, at worst a hostrig (ala Captain America). It’s not peru 2: electric boogaloo but it’s still eternally contested.
Hey so uh
NSA will be using Jotform as our new voting website instead of the usual Google Forms, or at least that’s the plan for now. He's still testing it at /tnt/, and at the moment it seems to have a number of limitations like allowing you to change your vote.
FangBlack folk could have been 100% earnest rexfricking waifugays and they still get the asterisk because of NS allowing a rigged opponent to persist until revealing that they’re rigged in the finals.
>Johnny bravo beats an admittedly rigged character and is beloved to the point of being a sacred cow >fang does the same thing and has dedicated anons reeeing at her
This just shows they don’t care about the rigging, they just hate Fang. If Shirley won they wouldn’t be nearly as mad.
Captain America was only confirmed to be rigged in the final round by the organizer when Bravo won fair and square. Shirley was confirmed rigged from the start.
The two autists who reeeeee hard ITT about Fang and the hosts are the Discord autists who tried to rig their in-joke meme pick to a win, and their autistic mental breakdowns is because they were prevented from doing so

With the information we do have and the abnormal circumstances from before, we can't really have a proper runback
No she beat a rigged character and anons are mad she won because it was specifically her, that’s it. Johnny bravo had the exact same thing happen and no one cared.
Even now I'm still wondering, of all characters, why Shirley? There's no discord server out there dedicated to a literally who, old hag, side character from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Was it purely for the sake of chaos? For the reactions?
The Elite 8 rule was introduced because the first year this ran the picks (and winner) were “too obvious” and not controversial enough. How has that worked out? LMAO
Imagine having a year where the biggest complaint is “not enough drama”. The Elite 8 is deprecated (but’ll never be revoked because every year people who want it removed are accused of being salty that their girl is locked away).
Wrong homosexual
It's to prevent there being an order of the 2nd year being the 2nd most popular Cinemaphile girl ever and so on, and to make it not just the same 8 characters every year
And how has that worked out? Should be a back and forth blow out from the two sets of 8 right? Alternating in line, nice and predictable. Black Canary bros, any day now!
False. Only some characters have made it 2x by now in Mr. Cinemaphile (Shaggy, Samurai Jack, Aku, Jonah Jameson, Skeletor, Daffy, Grim, Hank and Courage), and the only character in ANY tournament to get in the top 8 three times so far is Chel.
Elite 8 is also something widespread to pretty much every other tournament held here. The biggest drawback it carries as a rule is killing off the momentum other less popular contestants might have generated during the tournament in question.
I agree that having sex appeal is not always bad, but we also just literally had a horse show character get a high seed in a villains tourney on /tnt/ solely because her human form is hot.
Assuming that everyone's chosen their horse to back by now, who do (You) think will be this year's biggest jobbers? Frogshit, Owlshit, and Mollyshit are out the door frame 1, calling it. Haileyshit and Kiffshit won't make it past qualifiers either.
Those two shows always bite each other in the ass, so they’ll never make it too far and they have false gays that make them look bad like the fat card played when it clearly wasn’t by it’s own fanbase.
If I can use previous results to qualify jobbing, I feel like over half the elite 8 from 2021 will be lucky to even sniff the 3rd round. Bellum and one of Hilda/Johanna might return to elite 8, but the rest felt like lightning in a bottle runs.
nu-Lois Lain is gonna be a paper tiger. Overhyped early on and then job early.
Nah scrap it, it’s too corrupt. It’s clear people will always try to cheat to win. What’s worse by these numbers they’ll often succeed. Also I disagree about flavor of the month won sue beat Fang who was much bigger flavor of the month at that time.
Daily reminder that Vivzie characters will always lose in the first round. Also since hammer and bolter is a cartoon does that mean Trazyn and Commisar Yarrick are eligible for Mr Cinemaphile?
Yarrick is a bad ass old man with a power claw for an arm that even Orks fear and respect. Trazyn is a robot who collects everything and is a shitposter
I like Boop but "legit" is pushing it. Tourney was a frickfest and in hindsight it was very likely rigged out the ass, though there's no direct proof like the others.
Isn't the general opinion that 2021's controversy wasn't rigging through voting fraud, but because of a ton of psyops campaigns and spite voting? Sure Boop benefited from the stronger competitors getting spitevoted earlier and escaping relatively unscathed, but she definitely didn't cheat. Johanna just picked up a ton of spite by the finals
Disney in general got mogged that tourney. Even the well-liked DTVA character Max got Round one-ded. Company seems doomed.
I don't expect any of the DTVA characters to make a deep run, but they should do better than last year. A big reason for their demise last year was because they kept shitting up the board (and the tournament threads) with their tribewar nonsense. The spam has died down so there shouldn't be as big of a target
>because of a ton of psyops campaigns and spite voting
Yes, but I'm fairly certain this was probably really, or at least just some fricky rigging. These tourney's are, sadly, rigged as shit and I'd guess at least ~200 votes aren't legit. Just how its gotta be.
Regardless Boop comes across as a compromise winner, so while technically legit she's not really seen as clean.
>These tourney's are, sadly, rigged as shit and I'd guess at least ~200 votes aren't legit. Just how its gotta be.
I've always thought about this as well, especially since it's already commonly understood that a lot of people double vote on an alt-email. Starting with last year's Mr. Cinemaphile, however, the hosts started removing "suspicious" ballots from the poll before posting the results. So depending on how much you trust their methodology, duplicate voting has less of an impact.
>Regardless Boop comes across as a compromise winner, so while technically legit she's not really seen as clean.
I can agree to this. Ms. Cinemaphile especially is unpredictable as all hell (who seriously thought Hilda's mom and Shirley would reach grand finals?), and the last two winners just felt like giving to whoever was the least offensive survivor.
Voterbase just hates DTVA. I don't think it matters. /tnt/ tourney's actually demonstrated it pretty well cause despite being widely known with heavy campaigning they still get fricked early (like Luz losing R1 to a silent obscurity). Their best hope is wait a decade for nostalgia train or have their own autistic tourney.
I still have an old Tyr'ahnee GET edit somewhere.
Also she's going to get got by FOTM, as is tradition. The next decent win isn't until 2024 (Ms Cinemaphile goes decent win, fotm, fotm, in a repeating cycle)
That’s why she won. She was deserving enough for earnest waifugays to support her but just weird enough of a choice for the contrarians to back her too. That year ended up being BOOM VS ZOOM.
I have to agree with everyone else, the Elite Eight ban should be repealed and become strictly a status symbol. It's counterintuitive with the nature of tournaments.
Look anons I have got nothing againts holding the Elite 8 rule up to vote but it’s something the Cinemaphile anons will also have to agree on, not just the Ms. Cinemaphile side. I’m sure this is NightShift's stance as well.
The Elite 8 will never be repealed. >Power of status quo >Every year deflection to drama of the year + who’s in the E8 >Many people who jobbed in round 1 get salty and screech about keeping it (I’ve seen sweet 16 proposed even)

I guarantee you that all the asteriskgays would do a 180 if it were their pick who won. They don’t care about integrity or what not, they’re asshurt that they lost and are looking for avenues to screech at.
You can tell it’s 2 or 3 people because they all say the same shit over and over in the exact same writing style.
>I guarantee you that all the asteriskgays would do a 180 if it were their pick who won.
I guarantee you’re a disingenuous, and probably projecting, homosexual. there were plenty of Fang supporters who were pissed about how the final round went down.
Cinemaphile was a fine one-off because it was an actual board tournament so people who never participate in any were joining in
The reason Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile work so well is the majority of participants don't engage in anything besides their respective board tournaments, so they ignore everything for a year then shitpost for the week they are ongoing. It's an actual board who might never talks with each other coming together for the same event
The reason off-board tourneys suck is because it's not a community of different people coming together, it's the "community" of the same 15 autists putting on different "roleplay" personas to interact with each other. You don't even know what you're voting for and there's never new blood, it's people who want that high year round but they don't have the variance of participants to ever make it work.
Also I swear if those autists go "____ shouldn't win a round because they won/got far in [insert random ass /tnt/ tournament 5 people participated in and no one else knows about]" and get characters voted out I will break some bones
>"Why is there an elite 8 rule? Are people just mad that their shitty waifus got knocked out early?"
Maybe for some, but the real reason is to prevent stagnation. We don't want to end up like picreal now, do we?
I'd be happy if we just had Cinemaphile board tournaments and nothing else. Having a bunch of side shit like the tag teams and their respective subgenres, the heroes vs villains (whos fricking idea was this?), and whatever new shit they cook up is exhausting to keep up with. I can do an autism tournament for the month and then I'll need a 2 month break minimum before even considering joining another. You have too many of them in a year and they stop being special.
i think all of this is overblown, salty people are going to be salty, and the tug-of-war between silent popular picks and campaign-fueled underdogs is what keeps the tournaments unpredictable and interesting.
also the side tournaments are gay but even the people who participate in those are aware nobody cares about them.
The gayest part about the side tournaments is that it, at least unintentionally, keeps potential campaigns away from flourishing naturally and giving results in the main tourneys. Am I explaining myself properly? Most of the anons there already blow their load by the second tournament and grow tired of supporting the same character once the date for the main ones arrives.
said (I'm doing the same thing) and if people want to be idiots who are we to stop them.
besides, the issue with the tournaments isn't the over-abundance of roleplay, it's the lack of anything else.
/tnt/ should be used strictly for organising the main tournaments before and after they've ended and possibly getting other board tournaments started
all other tournaments are non-canon and their lore will be disregarded
Lore's only good after the fact. >Narratives spun at the end as a result of the sporadic and explosive nature of tourneys = good >Narratives spun during the tourney and matchup scumming = cringe
Nah frick off, the autistic made up stories is part of the charm.
It shouldn't have a large effect on the actual outcomes of the tourneys themself but that shit's too funny to just remove. >Obligatory Duck and WrestleMania matches >Homosexual Wedding >The Beautiful ballad of FAITH, Henry Stickmin and Umineko >minor joke about some characters not being vocally active mutates into Mickey Motherfricking Mouse drugging everyone during Qualifiers so he has an easier bracket
Was Mickey that bad? I thought the campaign in itself was fine, just a waste of effort for a bland corporate mascot non-entity nobody really likes. Especially when his opponent was Wallace the absolute pussy-slayer. Mickey was DOA.
Temp said on Pluschan a couple months ago if things had gone his way he would have gotten Tag Team back on Cinemaphile, taken control of the main tournaments and undid all of Nightshifts rule changes and do it just like Stats had(seeded brackets and Google sheets and stuff). Then he would have tried to smother whatever was left of the Pluschan faction doing side tournaments and bring them to heel, and then I THINK he wanted to patch things up with the mods so they had more wiggle room,
yet nightshift has been the one doing all this like patching it up with the mods
maybe its time for temp to go on his redemption arc for real this time?
I assume he’s talking about how, due to being seperated from each other by distance, different parts of the Roman Empire started to speak different variations of Latin that became the Romance languages. And the colonists thing is about that theory that says America’s culture is just late 1700s upper mid British culture and Australian culture is mid 1800s British lower class culture.
So he’s saying that PlusChan is sort of a snapshot of 2020’s Mr. Cinemaphile RP culture frozen in time, and due to that small group of anons being stuck over there for years they’ve gradually developed their own norms and standards that conflict with us over here.
Oh wait, that’s not a guess, that’s exactly what Temp said when asked
nah nothing like that, nsa gets talked about cus of his actions and rule changes, temp gets talked about because his bark is worse than his bite, stats gets talked about because he's dead,
balls and ghost don't get much hate and no one cares about any one else except penis anon I miss him
Because what he predicted came true.
There is a rift between Cinemaphile and /tnt/, the side tournaments do need to be stopped and it is probably too late to fix things.
I do agree we are starting to have too many side tournaments, but some of the people that show up in these stealth threads have been trying to start things for drama whenever /tnt/ is brought up.
It never pissed me off, but looking back on it, people would have quickly turned againts it if it never went beyond being crude MS Paint drawings and an autist screaming into a mic. It’s remembered fondly precisely because it’s something that was only present for a single round of the tournament.
Why do anons who push campaign as the only reason worth voting for a character try to say that campaigns don't have to be a long-winded roleplay and can just be something as small as an edit to show you care? You always reveal you don't actually believe that, so what's the point of saying it? If crude MS Paint drawings or screaming into a mic isn't enough campaign for you, clearly you only see gestures like constant roleplay as a real campaign.
Slappy's campaign just happened out of the blue because someone made a funny ass post and people went with it, and then it ended once she was done and hasn't come up since. It was very organic and wasn't one of their "in" dedicated roleplayers like Plunders, and that it's considered probably the best one last year and wasn't someone in their group ticks them a bit
>no one else giving an answwer
C'mon, for how much certain people love to complain about RP they sure can't point at any specific campaigns they dislike.
Anons don't want to hurt anyone specific's feelings
To be honest my brain zones out most rp because I don't participate in it or commit any of their "lore" to memory. If I keep seeing a character getting reposted over and over again, it gradually burns them into my pattern recognition as DO NOT VOTE. People don't understand that posting a character a lot makes you look desperate, ironically like you don't believe in them so you have to beg for every vote you can. Although maybe it's just me and I'm just a big grouchy sperg for finding that cringey when that's just how people have fun. To be clear I'm not talking about OC drawings, unless it's the same 1 anon shitting out tons of shill art.
Susie actually did make it, but due to NSA’s poll frickery she wasn’t included initially and he added her in a couple of hours late so she got screwed over
I think you got Susie 2022 mixed up with Susie 2021, but the rest of that is correct.
Tiff had 7 pieces of unique art last year, Cheesecake had 8(including the first ever art featuring NSA), the other inferior Crust Cousin had 4(can’t remember her name) and Creepy Susie had 9.
My main problem with /tnt/ is how anti-popularity it inherently is. Tourney's are at their core and probably always will be popularity contests, with shades of nuance. I get campaigning can endear a character to some but it creates a sense of entitlement among a group of insular super-autist.
Reposting from tourney /phil/osophy thread cause it's very relevant.
I propose a systematized classification for thought camps
>popularity gays/purist
The tourney's should be at least predominantly "popularity contests," voted on in factors separate from what goes on in-tourneys. >meta gays/tourney autists
The tourney's should be at least predominantly considered upon in their own inner culture and history. Campaign/oc/rp, previous tourney history and the such are the primary factors. >waifugays/fanboys
I only care about my character doing good or winning.
I only care about my character doing good or winning at any cost. >party anon
It doesn't really matter. Just have fun, bro.
CHAOS >silent majority
Casuals, passer-by's, aren't autistic about it and can fall in any group based off what they see or feel at the moment though they are usually considered naturally close to popularity gays/purist. The existence or extent of this "majority" is somewhat debatable and may depend on the tourney.
As someone who is mostly purist, I don't get why people are so quick to point out a character has no campaign. It's not like you're owed one. People don't need to justify their love for a character.
the whole argument here is because both sides think the other side thinks they're owed a win for whatever reason. whether that's actually the case is up for debate.
Propane is an old meme now. Will get spited immediately.
Johanna is a bit harder to tell cause she's gained genuine followers. Probably leaves early too though.
Fatgays, the real ones not the people posting for spite? Just pick a handful of girls to focus on and campaign(Like Judy or Sharon or Pam). Post all the fats you want of them. That’s cool, I can respect that. The traps already do that. Just don’t spam fats of every girl.

Fathomosexual here, I'm not autistic enough to spam, but I do know that most others prefer "corruption" over premade hogs. Sharon is hot and Judy is A B S O L U T E S E X O but I won't count on the others having that kind of restraint. Especially since a fair few of them like their targets younger. I'd better see some Chickpea art though
I can live with that. Some of them wear the weight better than others. Do keep in mind though that I'm just a random butthole, I don't speak for every fatgay on this board.

Being that fat is the stuff of nightmares. Sores, necrotic tissue, blood clots... Is that part of the fetish?

What’s the appeal of this. This specifically. Explain
No I haven't not in this thread, and not being spammed in Ms. Cinemaphile threads. You are a literal cancer that is killing tournaments, and I hope you legitimately seek mental help or have a nice day.
meh.
I kind of think /tnt/ being campaign-obsessed is overstated when I see their actual results. True that campaigning helps but the most popular picks still have the one-up over campaigned obscurities, and if a series is just disliked no amount of campaigning will really help.
Campaigning is what makes the tournaments fun, but it doesn't affect much until the later rounds. Still, general popularity is always going to have more of an effect.
you can spam threads all you want but when it's time to vote, people are still gonna go with the characters they like
this is why all the b***hing about campaigns is stupid and does more harm than good
The comment is a response to the point that characters who are popular are voted for and not the ones who solely skirted by on roleplay

>hundreds of votes
Mr. Cinemaphile barely gets over 100 votes for the qualifier round. There's no way there were "hundreds of votes" differences between matchups
Generally speaking the hero/villain definition is pretty soft, an antagonist or a guy who can be judged as bad tends to be who proceeds, not just "evil supervillains"
>Characters with little to no history in tournaments and are minor in popularity becoming "mega players"
People still need an occasional reminder a lot of our current big players started out as low seeded fodder and only made it far eventually thanks to campaigning. Tyr’ahnee herself is a prime example of this. So no, "campaigning" is not about affecting voting negatively just because you are inherently biased againts less popular characters.
>these are the people actively advocating for shit like lower-seeded victories, randomized brackets, Series/Elite 8 restrictions and ERP ~~*campaigning*~~
KEKAROO
anon hates any campaigning, you can tell he's assmad about his pick losing to some underdog.
if i had to guess? probably a frankiegay. they always throw a fit when they lose.
Dude, writing more doesn't inherently mean you have poor articulation. It's about making every word count. Like Farquaad's speeches are brilliant. He adds touches that make it sound in character, he acknowledges and thanks his voters, he relates it to his current opponent.
And I just thought. The reason why those previously mentioned "tournament tropes" exist is because it's perfectly in character for a lot of the characters we like to behave that way. Of course Lord Farquaad is going to be really grandiose and believe he's the best. It's not out of laziness or lack of creativity, plus it's usually the starting point for character interactions and those can develop into something completely unpredictable.
YES
fricks me up how she literally never showed up in anything ever again. like coombait aside she has a really cool design and making the martians some weird future egyptian thing was a cool idea
I think one of the writers Rick & Morty writers hired for Season 3 wanted Queen Tyr'ahnee to at least make a cameo appearance. She grew up with Duck Dodger 2003, and Tyr was one of her favorite characters. wasHowever, Justin Roiland was too rejected every such proposal.
Sauce: dude trust me.
Agreed. However any revival that isn't indie would utterly kill her character in the most obnoxious way.
>she literally never showed up in anything ever again
they accidentally made her too sexy, plus the show was mainly focused on marvin and duck if I remember correctly. A shame but hey at least we had her for a time.
She showed up in like one comic? For a couple of panels. But yeah, I wish we could get anything more with her. They brought back Lola.
>They brought back Lola.
Well yeah, her design isn't sexed up.
Lola from the movies was definitely meant to be sexy.
I’ll never understand why you all care so much about a dumb voting contest. You could at least contain it to one thread instead of spamming the entire board with this shit.
Contain deez nuts, b***h
>dumb voting contest
Winning character ends up swamped with fresh content for weeks, so it's worth the effort.
We are easily entertained with funny competitions and want you to feel the joy of it since clearly you don't enjoy comics, cartoons or its characters.
NTA but I love my waifu so much that I stopped nominating her in these things because you guys spoiled the fun and I don't want her associated with tournament shit
The tournaments are, or were, fun but I agree people have grown too obsessive about it. Most likely for the same reason that spawned tourneyanon:
The idea of the board coming together as a community.
That's why they made like 10 bajillion new side tournaments, so they could feel that year round instead of having to wait once or twice a year. They ruined what made it special for instant gratification, devolving the fun into a yelling contest where a character only deserves to win if they can stay afloat.
>were
Frick you ms Cinemaphile 2023 is still happening you Black person.
I meant they were fun you spazz. Ms Cinemaphile is definitely happening, the backlash if it didn't would be insane.
I don't care what the 15 people on /tnt/ are doing to try and make a dopamine hit, no one participates in that shit
Hundreds of people only participate in the Cinemaphile tournament
did we shift into another universe again? since when did mollygays start spitting facts like this? the heroes and villains tournaments seem way too desperate, the Cinemaphile one was fine
heroes and villains should just be one-offs since they're just too similar to the main ones plus they're not that strict (non-heroes and non-villains being nominated etc)
Are you saying strict rules make this more fun?
nah but if you're doing a themed tournament you should at the very least try and nominate actual villains and heroes but it seems to just be protagonists and antagonists mainly which is making them seem like mini main tournaments
I'm so glad that reaction was overblown and the mods didn't give a shit about temp's baby rage fit
still the main ones we have are fine and any others should either be on other boards or at least fun (shitpost tournament)
This, plus tag team put everything in jeopardy to soothe an ego. The four we have are fine.
Cinemaphile was a fine one-off because it was an actual board tournament so people who never participate in any were joining in
The reason Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile work so well is the majority of participants don't engage in anything besides their respective board tournaments, so they ignore everything for a year then shitpost for the week they are ongoing. It's an actual board who might never talks with each other coming together for the same event
The reason off-board tourneys suck is because it's not a community of different people coming together, it's the "community" of the same 15 autists putting on different "roleplay" personas to interact with each other. You don't even know what you're voting for and there's never new blood, it's people who want that high year round but they don't have the variance of participants to ever make it work.
>there's never new blood
There is but it's always the most random slop you've never heard of like hhgreg. And when you ask who the frick it is, they always say
>lol u newbie? Cinemaphile loves this character
I remember the HH spammer, didn’t even qualify lmao
The frick you talking about, /tnt/ hated the hhgreg spammer
Nah it was 50/50, some hated him some supported his “campaigning”. /tnt/ is fricking dumb
That anon was literally a Cinemaphileigger
I don't think my point was clear
What I meant was the same exact group of individuals participate in those tournaments without change, just putting on a new persona or character they heavily support. The person who spammed HHGregg would go into one of the /tnt/ Cinemaphile tournaments and support another character
It's a very closed group who want that high every month of the year when most people just are cool with two weeks of the year to make it special
It’s kind of scary how easy it is to identify /tnt/ regulars based on their posting style and which characters they support.
what sparked the /tnt/ hate anyway, was it temp?
Temp actually was against their separation and side tournaments.
He wanted all the side tournaments shut down, a complete move off of Pluschan, and Tag Team to be brought back to Cinemaphile. He thought staying separate would lead to two distinct cultures and eventually conflict
>He thought staying separate would lead to two distinct cultures and eventually conflict
I cant believe Temp was fricking right
Yet again, Temp has good ideas and wieners them up through inexperience. If he was genuinely competent I’d agree with him
well its a good thing the main hosts don't post there much unless its nearly main tournament time so the separation in culture isnt so much
trips of truth
we'll just have to see what happens this year, so far the only main groups I see are
>main hosts
>side tournament hosts
>temp loyalists (mainly /trash/)
>roleplayers
>unassigned (regular anons)
>Villain was right all along but was brought down by their own bad character
we need punished temp art next

Punished Temp implies a return, cant return from a Permaban
>Permaban
Draw Bimbo Temp as a fat girl with a big squishy tummy
>Nightshift porn doubles that of fem Temp
The nightshift what?
>he doesn't know
the meta narrative about outside forces controlling the tournaments for an agenda no one knows about or can comprehend is soulful I agree
>Temp’s vaggy and her brain, her vaggy and her brain
>One is a genius, the others insane
Just general offboard hate, it'll turn around once September hits and the mods enforce their no tournament rule.
I myself enjoy /tnt/ as a place for discussion and organization, even the side tournaments are kind of nice, but it would be terrible if things got out of control and we reached a point where all the attention shifted towards these side events instead of the main ones.
>He thought staying separate would lead to two distinct cultures and eventually conflict
This is exactly what I fear is going to happen, especially once Cinemaphile is confronted with the existence of the side tournaments.
Temp has always been the well intentioned idiot. I’ve been saying that since Day 1. Though the idiot part might be slightly outdated, he did fine running the polls in Tag Team last time.
He wanted to keep the rules the way Stats had them and not change bracketing. He wanted to get Tag Team Tournament back on Cinemaphile because he was bitter at Fuse(and also said something about how that was the origin of the side tournaments and people going to Pluschan, so if Tag Team left Pluschan he’d kill the weed at the root and the other side tourneys would die out or something like that)
Then he said something about the Romans and Vulgar Latin and how the clique on Pluschan was frozen in time like colonists and would culturally diverge and if he didn’t bring things back into the fold there would be a crisis or something. Which I don’t get half his metaphors, but seemingly the divide part came true.
I don’t think Temp was that technically qualified especially at first, and he absolutely fricking sucks at crisis Managment, but in terms of big ideas and long term trends sadly most of his fears are coming to pass.
>then he said something about the romans and vulgar latin
ya know he may be an emotional wreck but he's certainly a well intentioned and well informed person
now he may act like a time traveller trying to change the past but he's probably make the divide himself with his actions
truly a tragic comedy
Yeah Temp being overly emotional and terrible at crisis management was his main problem by the end.(that’s why some people think Temp is a woman)
The ‘idiot host’ problem was pretty much fixed, he was running the polls in January just fine. And in terms of ideals I actually think he understood the site and it’s trends better then I gave him credit for
All of them were fricking terrible at crisis management and overly emotional. It's almost expected that they were all women since Cinemaphile is 90% female.
On his last ever post Temp blamed the tournaments problems on two main issues.
Fusegay getting the Tag Team banned in 2020 leading to factionalism(some people on Pluschan increasingly doing their own thing and becoming disconnected from the main tournaments) and Statsanon vanishing in 2021(leading to a lack of solid leadership during crisis and NSA deciding to start changing a bunch of things and rocking the boat)
He also basically said he thought it was too late to fix it without burning the whole thing to the ground at this point and that he just wished Stats was still here and that Fuse never existed.
It's the users. They're insufferably autistic and they like to pretend anyone who criticizes them wants to shut down the entire +4 website.
>He thought staying separate would lead to two distinct cultures and eventually conflict
Wow. Temp actually got something right. If only he had watched his tone instead of getting all pissy and demanding.
The Tag-Team controversy is what was the final nail, but as a whole I think there's a massive disconnect from the Cinemaphile tournament group and the /tnt/ group
Namely, the Cinemaphile group is the kind that sees tournaments as little communities of Cinemaphile coming together, something that should last a week then everyone goes their separate ways for a year. That it should vote for the best Cinemaphile characters as a whole based on personality, looks, content, etc. Likes fanart and funny moments as OC.
The /tnt/ group sees themselves more as a direct community. They think that tournaments should happen as often as possible. They take heavy consideration of campaigning, especially roleplay but also different kind of effort-posts, and characters should be voted based on who has the best "campaign" instead of voting for the favorite or even knowing who they are. They consider tournaments more as this 4D strategy chess game to get a character to win or be eliminated more then a purely opinion based contest on the character quality themselves.
The disconnect is these two groups see tournaments as entirely different things with different purposes
>They think that tournaments should happen as often as possible
No?
Where am I wrong
When it comes to tag-team, the Cinemaphile group generally doesn't want it happening at all while /tnt/ wants it yearly and on Cinemaphile if they could.
Then /tnt/ has quite a decent amount of spinoffs they host
Side tournaments shouldn't be on the main boards nor should they count.
/tnt/ does not want tag team on Cinemaphile. When temp's meltdown happened pretty much the entire consensus was he needs to frick off trying to make it happen on Cinemaphile.
Isn’t that what Tempy said
I don't know because I don't like the /tnt/ group which includes him

I'm voting for only the best. It's a shame people try to tear her down. Really I'm only voting for villains.
You have to actually campaign.
When is this?
September 1st.
I always liked the little detail that Master Shake and Meatwad are banned from the beach while Frylock is allowed.
This was cool as frick
Though if this is done again this year there should be a rule of it having to be entirely different characters so it isn't people trying to advertising their RP character
Mothra

THE FLESH DEMANDS QUALIFICATION
Hi I’m the one who started the map. I’m glad people are excited for it again this year!
Damn.
Chel was ROBBED
She didn't even campaign.
>tfw all Chel pictures in the Ms. Cinemaphile booru were done by her opponents and not for her
I always got the impression that Cinemaphile had a decent amount of oldgays, but since it's always a character with recent attention maybe not?
I feel like classic, non-current ladies are a better more timeless representation of Cinemaphile's tastes. I think Tyr'ahnee would be a good fit, canonically she was already Ms. Mars.
>nominated Chel the first few times
>she never wins, but always places just high enough that she gets disqualified from running the following year
Is that rule necessary, especially considering that current events are what usually make the difference?
The Elite 8 has always been a pants-on-head moronic rule that punishes girls for being popular in a girl popularity contest.
>popularity contest
umm actually chud it's a campaign contest
Actually it’s a secret battle between two riggers.
I like the Elite 8 rule, it allows me to support different character on-and-off depending on the year.
Those different characters that win are usually just fads that people won't care about later
Is there much variation in the elite 8? I know Chel always makes it every time she runs. It kind of feels like it's a kind of purgatory for popular characters that prevents them from winning. Your Chels, Ravens, and Frankies are just going to take up those spots indefinitely instead of maybe getting more of a chance to win and having their nominations put to rest
The late 90s-early 2000s period is way more popular and the bias leans towards, Mr Cinemaphile has only had one winner not in that sweet spot of year ranges
Ms Cinemaphile would be similar if it didn’t become the heaviest source of FOTMs and spiteposts. The spiting in particular if you noted are all against late 90s-early 2000s girls
It's gonna be the new Lois Lane that wins it this year, isn't it?
Hahaha nah.
No, she's pissed off a lot of people how she acts in the show so she won't win the whole think
Clark Kent, that's one to watch
>Is that rule necessary, especially considering that current events are what usually make the difference?
Current events and strategic voting.
E8 is going back into being needed because people are starting to come back routinely again. We hit a bit of a dead patch for a year or two, but we’re back to regulars

Have you tried winning a tournament without going against a character who should have been disqualified earlier in the bracket? Oh that’s right, you can’t. Sitting with Spinel in the Asterisk club lmao
But enough about Chel
Nope, never enough, she deserved to compete in the final round.
You’ll know he’s right when another anti-waifu candidate wins.
There’s no such thing as an anti-waifu candidate because at the end of the day it’s people being legitimately enthusiastic about a cartoon character. That’s like calling every oddball in the tournaments a meme pick.
Nope, it was showhomosexualry, trolling and anti-waifuhomosexualry. The usual.

Nope, just chosen by the host.
>Best

>Waifu
It was 98% showhomosexuals and anti-coomers
Either way, host invalidated the contest by allowing cheating to continue. Asterisk/10
Still not as much of an asterisk as Sp*nel and you homosexuals know it.
Well sure, Spinel was an example of an outside rigging winning. Fang was at best a no contest, at worst a hostrig (ala Captain America). It’s not peru 2: electric boogaloo but it’s still eternally contested.

Does it beam it straight to whoever's hosting the Cinemaphile waifu tournament?
nope
No it gets beamed to me
So does straw poll.
Nigha it's 23
You must have been sleeping under a rock because three other characters have been elected as Ms. Cinemaphile ever since Spinel won.
Nightshift is the King of Rigchads. Not even Captain America got away with it that well.
If a character's source material is a postcard drawing can they be nominated?
Care Bears started off as postcard drawings and they can get nominated
Cool thanks anon
Know who I'm nominating and surprised no on one brought them up yet
FangBlack folk could have been 100% earnest rexfricking waifugays and they still get the asterisk because of NS allowing a rigged opponent to persist until revealing that they’re rigged in the finals.
He revealed they were rigged in round 3, anons kept voting for them regardless
Holy shit you anti fanggays are ludicrous
Cope *
>He revealed they were rigged in round 3
and then didn’t do shit about it until the final round where he went on an ego trip and wrecked everything
And yet it was better than the bullshit we deal with today.
No it wasn't, it was single-handedly the worst time to be on this board
Are you sure there’s three Steven universe threads on Cinemaphile right now.
>Johnny bravo beats an admittedly rigged character and is beloved to the point of being a sacred cow
>fang does the same thing and has dedicated anons reeeing at her
This just shows they don’t care about the rigging, they just hate Fang. If Shirley won they wouldn’t be nearly as mad.
Captain America was only confirmed to be rigged in the final round by the organizer when Bravo won fair and square. Shirley was confirmed rigged from the start.
NSA literally wasn't going to let Shirley win. And he shouldn't have, but what he should have done is disqualify her earlier.
He let the riggers rig up until the finale. That isn’t a contest.
>NSA made sure a cheater wouldn't win
>somehow he's the bad guy
Fricking autists.
He permitted said cheater to eliminate the competition for Fang and THEN decided to enforce the rules. Literal clownshow.
The two autists who reeeeee hard ITT about Fang and the hosts are the Discord autists who tried to rig their in-joke meme pick to a win, and their autistic mental breakdowns is because they were prevented from doing so
Take your meds, schizo.
Why didn't he make sure a cheater wouldn't win against Chel? Is it because he was afraid Chel would beat his waifu Fang?
If i recall had Chel made it to the final she still would've lost by just 2 votes, that's how heated it would've gotten
Totally theoretical numbers btw, head to head we’ll never know.
Why not put it to a vote right now? https://strawpoll.com/BJnX8RNQYnv
It doesn’t matter if it’s 99.9% in favor of Fang, the truth is the match at that time wasn’t settled. Chel was sacrificed for no discernible reason (and if we go far enough back, she isn’t the only one).
Are you implying XJ9 is an asterisk as well?
I think he’s implying Dr. Mrs. The Monarch.
That final was in now way rigged, mainly because Jucika got eliminated well before then. Filthy peruvian roaches
Of course not, but go ahead with your false comparison.
He's implying everyone else beaten by riggers, morons.
Oh, I see what happened. I’m talking about further back in the tourney, not further back in years.
Replaying rounds is a no-go, but round 3 when NS announced cheating was going on, the ones cheated against should have advanced.
Also chill out the poll posted is just a fun "what if" scenario. If Chel wins then great, if Fang wins also great.
With the information we do have and the abnormal circumstances from before, we can't really have a proper runback
No she beat a rigged character and anons are mad she won because it was specifically her, that’s it. Johnny bravo had the exact same thing happen and no one cared.
Even now I'm still wondering, of all characters, why Shirley? There's no discord server out there dedicated to a literally who, old hag, side character from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Was it purely for the sake of chaos? For the reactions?
It was anti-waifu rigging.
People say furry but analysis says it was retaliation against FARTS for whatever reason.
If only stats was here…
who?
She has my vote.
Dubs decides who I rig it for this year.
P.S. Frick Ms. Cinemaphile, Mr. Cinemaphile is where it’s at.
The Elite 8 rule was introduced because the first year this ran the picks (and winner) were “too obvious” and not controversial enough. How has that worked out? LMAO
Imagine having a year where the biggest complaint is “not enough drama”. The Elite 8 is deprecated (but’ll never be revoked because every year people who want it removed are accused of being salty that their girl is locked away).
Wrong homosexual
It's to prevent there being an order of the 2nd year being the 2nd most popular Cinemaphile girl ever and so on, and to make it not just the same 8 characters every year
And how has that worked out? Should be a back and forth blow out from the two sets of 8 right? Alternating in line, nice and predictable. Black Canary bros, any day now!
Mr Cinemaphile it's the same faces in Elite 8 every year, some have made it 3x by now
And they never win. Only time it’s ever happened was Fang, and that was the year of the rig.
>And they never win. Only time it’s ever happened was Fang,
WTF Fang is male now?
False. Only some characters have made it 2x by now in Mr. Cinemaphile (Shaggy, Samurai Jack, Aku, Jonah Jameson, Skeletor, Daffy, Grim, Hank and Courage), and the only character in ANY tournament to get in the top 8 three times so far is Chel.
Elite 8 is also something widespread to pretty much every other tournament held here. The biggest drawback it carries as a rule is killing off the momentum other less popular contestants might have generated during the tournament in question.
The “anti-coomer squadron” make these contests no fun. They only want to vote for le wholesome chungus characters and spitevote popular girls out.
I agree that having sex appeal is not always bad, but we also just literally had a horse show character get a high seed in a villains tourney on /tnt/ solely because her human form is hot.
Assuming that everyone's chosen their horse to back by now, who do (You) think will be this year's biggest jobbers?
Frogshit, Owlshit, and Mollyshit are out the door frame 1, calling it. Haileyshit and Kiffshit won't make it past qualifiers either.
Lois Lane will be overhyped as "the one" but will be out round 2
See
Those two shows always bite each other in the ass, so they’ll never make it too far and they have false gays that make them look bad like the fat card played when it clearly wasn’t by it’s own fanbase.
THAT'S NOT WHAT BEING A JOBBER MEANS YOU FRICKING IGNORAMUS
It does now, nerd
If I can use previous results to qualify jobbing, I feel like over half the elite 8 from 2021 will be lucky to even sniff the 3rd round. Bellum and one of Hilda/Johanna might return to elite 8, but the rest felt like lightning in a bottle runs.
nu-Lois Lain is gonna be a paper tiger. Overhyped early on and then job early.
GET YOUR GAY ASSES IN HERE HAZBIN/HELLUVABROS
You all need to stop being this autistic and anal and just start cooming to all the girls
Pretty sure someone coomed to Fang laying eggs and Mira riding a crispy sausage
That’d be nice if the anti-coom vote wasn’t the strongest superpac every year.
Please if it was a coom contest Jessica Rabbit and Chel would’ve won by now.
Or Ms Bellum?
Yeah agreed.
Not what was being said
What's being said is calm down and have a fap
How about you eat shit, b***h! I'll defend my waifu to the very end.
Jenny: Legit, impeccable
Spinel: Peru Riggers
Monarch: FOTM but mostly legit
Betty Boop: Legit
Fang: Branded due to host misconduct, legitimacy undeterminable
We’re due for a good year… right?
Nah scrap it, it’s too corrupt. It’s clear people will always try to cheat to win. What’s worse by these numbers they’ll often succeed. Also I disagree about flavor of the month won sue beat Fang who was much bigger flavor of the month at that time.
Daily reminder that Vivzie characters will always lose in the first round. Also since hammer and bolter is a cartoon does that mean Trazyn and Commisar Yarrick are eligible for Mr Cinemaphile?
I don’t even know who they are.
Yarrick is a bad ass old man with a power claw for an arm that even Orks fear and respect. Trazyn is a robot who collects everything and is a shitposter
I think it’s hilarious that year 1 is the best year we’ve had and year 2 is the notable worst. Even last year didn’t reach that level.
2019 will always be the worst mainly because no one wanted Sp*nel to win
>Betty Boop: Legit
I mean, technically, but she's mired in controversy too.
I personally love all the bullshit that happens. Makes it interesting. I mean, really, who gives a frick?
I like Boop but "legit" is pushing it. Tourney was a frickfest and in hindsight it was very likely rigged out the ass, though there's no direct proof like the others.
Isn't the general opinion that 2021's controversy wasn't rigging through voting fraud, but because of a ton of psyops campaigns and spite voting? Sure Boop benefited from the stronger competitors getting spitevoted earlier and escaping relatively unscathed, but she definitely didn't cheat. Johanna just picked up a ton of spite by the finals
I don't expect any of the DTVA characters to make a deep run, but they should do better than last year. A big reason for their demise last year was because they kept shitting up the board (and the tournament threads) with their tribewar nonsense. The spam has died down so there shouldn't be as big of a target
>because of a ton of psyops campaigns and spite voting
Yes, but I'm fairly certain this was probably really, or at least just some fricky rigging. These tourney's are, sadly, rigged as shit and I'd guess at least ~200 votes aren't legit. Just how its gotta be.
Regardless Boop comes across as a compromise winner, so while technically legit she's not really seen as clean.
*or at least largely
>These tourney's are, sadly, rigged as shit and I'd guess at least ~200 votes aren't legit. Just how its gotta be.
I've always thought about this as well, especially since it's already commonly understood that a lot of people double vote on an alt-email. Starting with last year's Mr. Cinemaphile, however, the hosts started removing "suspicious" ballots from the poll before posting the results. So depending on how much you trust their methodology, duplicate voting has less of an impact.
>Regardless Boop comes across as a compromise winner, so while technically legit she's not really seen as clean.
I can agree to this. Ms. Cinemaphile especially is unpredictable as all hell (who seriously thought Hilda's mom and Shirley would reach grand finals?), and the last two winners just felt like giving to whoever was the least offensive survivor.
Voterbase just hates DTVA. I don't think it matters. /tnt/ tourney's actually demonstrated it pretty well cause despite being widely known with heavy campaigning they still get fricked early (like Luz losing R1 to a silent obscurity). Their best hope is wait a decade for nostalgia train or have their own autistic tourney.
Nonsense. After all, the best modern DTVA character won not long ago.
Explain
I still can’t believe Chel got anal vored.
tf are you talking, you muppet?
I still have an old Tyr'ahnee GET edit somewhere.
Also she's going to get got by FOTM, as is tradition. The next decent win isn't until 2024 (Ms Cinemaphile goes decent win, fotm, fotm, in a repeating cycle)
>This year is a FOTM year
Watch it be Beelzebark from HB
Nope, it'll be Luz Lane
Well you can cosnider yourself luccky because Tyr'ahnee won't be participating again until 2024.
Betty Boop winning was weird honestly. I know she's got pedigree but she felt like a dark horse candidate
That’s why she won. She was deserving enough for earnest waifugays to support her but just weird enough of a choice for the contrarians to back her too. That year ended up being BOOM VS ZOOM.
Betty was spite voted to champion because HildaBlack folk basically ruined the entire tournament.
Sniff it was beautiful.
The tournaments have repeating win cycles?
So even with 5 votes cast for the poll Chel holds just a one vote lead over Fang.
I have to agree with everyone else, the Elite Eight ban should be repealed and become strictly a status symbol. It's counterintuitive with the nature of tournaments.
What is the nature of the tournaments exactly?
my pick doesn't win so i get mad
Popularity.
Spite to say ha ha your waifu sucks.
“May the best girl win”
If it’s good enough for Jenny, it’s good enough for everyone else.
CAMPOOOOONING
This. There’s no way we could have known in 2018 what these would become. An infusion of strong competition would be a good thing.
I think i'd like to see it repealed for a year, just to see how it goes.
Look anons I have got nothing againts holding the Elite 8 rule up to vote but it’s something the Cinemaphile anons will also have to agree on, not just the Ms. Cinemaphile side. I’m sure this is NightShift's stance as well.
…why?
Pretty sure both tourneys already have different rulesets. If Cinemaphile wants to do it differently, they can just vote on it.
Eh who cares.
Did Cinemaphile vote on randomized brackets seperately?
Yes.
>Cinemaphile anons
weren't they the guys that voted for lowering the number of characters for a series that got into the elite 8 thus making the elite 8 rule worthless?
The elite eight rule is already useless. Unironically created based on a guess, the most “mad my girl didn’t get far” rule in the game.
Yes, only and exclusively because they were mad at Touhou.
who cares, where's balls?
in my dick
The Elite 8 will never be repealed.
>Power of status quo
>Every year deflection to drama of the year + who’s in the E8
>Many people who jobbed in round 1 get salty and screech about keeping it (I’ve seen sweet 16 proposed even)
Despite the fact that it’s been years and
A. There’s no evidence that Tier-0 girls exist
B. The best year in the contest’s history was the one without it
I like it because it raises the stakes in the final stretch. losing in the last few rounds doesn’t hit the same if you can come back next year.
>chelgays and shirleyriggers STILL seething
El em ay oh
Fang is legitimate
z
I guarantee you that all the asteriskgays would do a 180 if it were their pick who won. They don’t care about integrity or what not, they’re asshurt that they lost and are looking for avenues to screech at.
You can tell it’s 2 or 3 people because they all say the same shit over and over in the exact same writing style.
>I guarantee you that all the asteriskgays would do a 180 if it were their pick who won.
I guarantee you’re a disingenuous, and probably projecting, homosexual. there were plenty of Fang supporters who were pissed about how the final round went down.
Will whatever her face from Hilda make a comeback this year?
>literally every other place that talks about Ms agrees that Fang was a great pick
>screeching starts on Cinemaphile
Huh
Do characters get OC organically by winning? Or is it all just dedicated artists?
The latter.
Both
100% this
Varies year to year
Winning/getting far doesn’t guarantee art, if that’s what you are asking. Sometimes the character with the most OC doesn’t even win.
Also I swear if those autists go "____ shouldn't win a round because they won/got far in [insert random ass /tnt/ tournament 5 people participated in and no one else knows about]" and get characters voted out I will break some bones
They probably will. Remember the “Fang won so T. rex shouldn’t win the Cinemaphile tourney” because they’re the same species, like wtf
>"Why is there an elite 8 rule? Are people just mad that their shitty waifus got knocked out early?"
Maybe for some, but the real reason is to prevent stagnation. We don't want to end up like picreal now, do we?
Oh I found it
I'd be happy if we just had Cinemaphile board tournaments and nothing else. Having a bunch of side shit like the tag teams and their respective subgenres, the heroes vs villains (whos fricking idea was this?), and whatever new shit they cook up is exhausting to keep up with. I can do an autism tournament for the month and then I'll need a 2 month break minimum before even considering joining another. You have too many of them in a year and they stop being special.
IMO /tnt/ should be split into two boards: one about main tournaments and another about side tournaments.
i think all of this is overblown, salty people are going to be salty, and the tug-of-war between silent popular picks and campaign-fueled underdogs is what keeps the tournaments unpredictable and interesting.
also the side tournaments are gay but even the people who participate in those are aware nobody cares about them.
The gayest part about the side tournaments is that it, at least unintentionally, keeps potential campaigns away from flourishing naturally and giving results in the main tourneys. Am I explaining myself properly? Most of the anons there already blow their load by the second tournament and grow tired of supporting the same character once the date for the main ones arrives.
I use the side tournaments to practice my mains.
Same thing here, although I’m too dedicated to my mains to ever leave them behind.
what
said (I'm doing the same thing) and if people want to be idiots who are we to stop them.
besides, the issue with the tournaments isn't the over-abundance of roleplay, it's the lack of anything else.
/tnt/ should be used strictly for organising the main tournaments before and after they've ended and possibly getting other board tournaments started
all other tournaments are non-canon and their lore will be disregarded
>tournament lore
Fricking moronic, I wish people would just keep what happens during one tournament to that tournament.
>he doesn't know about the deep lore
ngmi
Tournament lore is sovl
Lore's only good after the fact.
>Narratives spun at the end as a result of the sporadic and explosive nature of tourneys = good
>Narratives spun during the tourney and matchup scumming = cringe
Nah frick off, the autistic made up stories is part of the charm.
I, too, love it when a character is irreparably ruined.
ruined how? People don't even talk about Fang winning outside of this thread
Has this ever actually been the case?
megamind
It shouldn't have a large effect on the actual outcomes of the tourneys themself but that shit's too funny to just remove.
>Obligatory Duck and WrestleMania matches
>Homosexual Wedding
>The Beautiful ballad of FAITH, Henry Stickmin and Umineko
>minor joke about some characters not being vocally active mutates into Mickey Motherfricking Mouse drugging everyone during Qualifiers so he has an easier bracket
The Mickey shit was forced and unfunny, it came out of nowhere with zero build up. The Vilgax of Heroes.
Was Mickey that bad? I thought the campaign in itself was fine, just a waste of effort for a bland corporate mascot non-entity nobody really likes. Especially when his opponent was Wallace the absolute pussy-slayer. Mickey was DOA.
Disney in general got mogged that tourney. Even the well-liked DTVA character Max got Round one-ded. Company seems doomed.
>>The Beautiful ballad of FAITH, Henry Stickmin and Umineko
And Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Wait, shit, this blatant tourney thread has gotten too meta! Quick, we need Ty'rahnee images to shake off the jannies!
Temp said on Pluschan a couple months ago if things had gone his way he would have gotten Tag Team back on Cinemaphile, taken control of the main tournaments and undid all of Nightshifts rule changes and do it just like Stats had(seeded brackets and Google sheets and stuff). Then he would have tried to smother whatever was left of the Pluschan faction doing side tournaments and bring them to heel, and then I THINK he wanted to patch things up with the mods so they had more wiggle room,
yet nightshift has been the one doing all this like patching it up with the mods
maybe its time for temp to go on his redemption arc for real this time?
What the frick is Temp smoking if the Romans and colonization have anything to do with Cinemaphile?
I assume he’s talking about how, due to being seperated from each other by distance, different parts of the Roman Empire started to speak different variations of Latin that became the Romance languages. And the colonists thing is about that theory that says America’s culture is just late 1700s upper mid British culture and Australian culture is mid 1800s British lower class culture.
So he’s saying that PlusChan is sort of a snapshot of 2020’s Mr. Cinemaphile RP culture frozen in time, and due to that small group of anons being stuck over there for years they’ve gradually developed their own norms and standards that conflict with us over here.
Oh wait, that’s not a guess, that’s exactly what Temp said when asked
t. Temp
Are hosts microcelebrities or something? You guys talk about Temp way too much.
They run the things, if they frick up the entire thing is affected.
And they frick up constantly
We need AI hosts.
nah nothing like that, nsa gets talked about cus of his actions and rule changes, temp gets talked about because his bark is worse than his bite, stats gets talked about because he's dead,
balls and ghost don't get much hate and no one cares about any one else except penis anon I miss him
I thought I was the only one who remembered Penis.
because of penis we have balls
perhaps he should come back for the ultimate host team up
Why do people still talk about Temp he’s been permabanned since January
Because I want to feel her bouncy bimbo bosom
Because Temp is the tournaments; ill-prepared, incredibly autistic and banned off Cinemaphile.
Because what he predicted came true.
There is a rift between Cinemaphile and /tnt/, the side tournaments do need to be stopped and it is probably too late to fix things.
I do agree we are starting to have too many side tournaments, but some of the people that show up in these stealth threads have been trying to start things for drama whenever /tnt/ is brought up.
What are the worst campaigns, from any Cinemaphile tournament side or main? (pic unrelated)
slappy
Slappy's campaign really pisses off the anti-popular pro-campaigners for some reason
It never pissed me off, but looking back on it, people would have quickly turned againts it if it never went beyond being crude MS Paint drawings and an autist screaming into a mic. It’s remembered fondly precisely because it’s something that was only present for a single round of the tournament.
Why do anons who push campaign as the only reason worth voting for a character try to say that campaigns don't have to be a long-winded roleplay and can just be something as small as an edit to show you care? You always reveal you don't actually believe that, so what's the point of saying it? If crude MS Paint drawings or screaming into a mic isn't enough campaign for you, clearly you only see gestures like constant roleplay as a real campaign.
Most people aren't going to take gore drawings of their waifus being mauled lightly, to be honest.
Slappy's campaign just happened out of the blue because someone made a funny ass post and people went with it, and then it ended once she was done and hasn't come up since. It was very organic and wasn't one of their "in" dedicated roleplayers like Plunders, and that it's considered probably the best one last year and wasn't someone in their group ticks them a bit
Slappy schizo was giga based and Jucika sucks. Frick anyone saying otherwise.
>no one else giving an answwer
C'mon, for how much certain people love to complain about RP they sure can't point at any specific campaigns they dislike.
Anons don't want to hurt anyone specific's feelings
To be honest my brain zones out most rp because I don't participate in it or commit any of their "lore" to memory. If I keep seeing a character getting reposted over and over again, it gradually burns them into my pattern recognition as DO NOT VOTE. People don't understand that posting a character a lot makes you look desperate, ironically like you don't believe in them so you have to beg for every vote you can. Although maybe it's just me and I'm just a big grouchy sperg for finding that cringey when that's just how people have fun. To be clear I'm not talking about OC drawings, unless it's the same 1 anon shitting out tons of shill art.
Jucika
Homer and the porn cat
What?
Shit it's almost time and I haven't even started drawing
MY (not) GAY WIFE AMITY WILL BE MS. /ACO/
I believe in Tiff, she’s a mean enough b***h to take it!
Tiff actually had THE MOST OC of any girl in the Qualifiers last year, right next to Cheesecake and Creepy Susie.
All 3 of them failed to get past Qualifiers. Cursed.
Susie actually did make it, but due to NSA’s poll frickery she wasn’t included initially and he added her in a couple of hours late so she got screwed over
That was 2021. 2022 Creepy Susie actually got pretty far.
Yes this
Creepy Susie made top 16!
I think you got Susie 2022 mixed up with Susie 2021, but the rest of that is correct.
Tiff had 7 pieces of unique art last year, Cheesecake had 8(including the first ever art featuring NSA), the other inferior Crust Cousin had 4(can’t remember her name) and Creepy Susie had 9.
There’s always a chance for the curse to be broken then!
Then make more Tiff OC friend
I wish, I’m no artist, but I can try campaigning for her.
My main problem with /tnt/ is how anti-popularity it inherently is. Tourney's are at their core and probably always will be popularity contests, with shades of nuance. I get campaigning can endear a character to some but it creates a sense of entitlement among a group of insular super-autist.
Reposting from tourney /phil/osophy thread cause it's very relevant.
I propose a systematized classification for thought camps
>popularity gays/purist
The tourney's should be at least predominantly "popularity contests," voted on in factors separate from what goes on in-tourneys.
>meta gays/tourney autists
The tourney's should be at least predominantly considered upon in their own inner culture and history. Campaign/oc/rp, previous tourney history and the such are the primary factors.
>waifugays/fanboys
I only care about my character doing good or winning.
I only care about my character doing good or winning at any cost.
>party anon
It doesn't really matter. Just have fun, bro.
CHAOS
>silent majority
Casuals, passer-by's, aren't autistic about it and can fall in any group based off what they see or feel at the moment though they are usually considered naturally close to popularity gays/purist. The existence or extent of this "majority" is somewhat debatable and may depend on the tourney.
As someone who is mostly purist, I don't get why people are so quick to point out a character has no campaign. It's not like you're owed one. People don't need to justify their love for a character.
the whole argument here is because both sides think the other side thinks they're owed a win for whatever reason. whether that's actually the case is up for debate.
Which NSA design is best? This one that came first or the secret agent one the Wiki has?
Which host design is best? None

You think there will be any fatgays this year? There hasn’t been a tourney without them since 2020
>he thinks there won’t be fatgays
Where do you think we are?
The fatgays are falsegays. It’s a tactic anons use to get fatgays on to a girl so they’ll be voted out.
Who's getting more hate this year, Johanna or Propane?
Propane is an old meme now. Will get spited immediately.
Johanna is a bit harder to tell cause she's gained genuine followers. Probably leaves early too though.
Who is the most forgotten winner?
Ms. Cinemaphile? Mrs. The Monarch because nobody brings her up except to say "Tyr'ahnee should have won".
Kronk. Mr. 2019 and his win just sort of happened. Wasn't much fanfare about it.
But if were including all tourneys it's definitely Samus.
Zorak
Which one from the Elite 8 are you most excited to see return?
Nani of course, can't wait for next year. She did so good last year, I still can't believe it.
Nah the fatgay support for her is real
Wallace is the dog.
no gromit is the dog and wallace is the man
I'm pretty sure Gromit is the man, in fact
Fatgays, the real ones not the people posting for spite? Just pick a handful of girls to focus on and campaign(Like Judy or Sharon or Pam). Post all the fats you want of them. That’s cool, I can respect that. The traps already do that. Just don’t spam fats of every girl.
I’m gonna MochiiBabi the frick out of em

Fathomosexual here, I'm not autistic enough to spam, but I do know that most others prefer "corruption" over premade hogs. Sharon is hot and Judy is A B S O L U T E S E X O but I won't count on the others having that kind of restraint. Especially since a fair few of them like their targets younger. I'd better see some Chickpea art though
Ok. Just try to stick to a handful of girls specifically, ok? I think most of us can live with that. The trapgays have done worse than that.
I can live with that. Some of them wear the weight better than others. Do keep in mind though that I'm just a random butthole, I don't speak for every fatgay on this board.

I’m good with anything ranging from ‘girl with a potbelly’ to ‘house sized tub of lard’
Wtf causes people to find the latter attractive
Being that fat is the stuff of nightmares. Sores, necrotic tissue, blood clots... Is that part of the fetish?
I mean there’s an entire subkink specifically for health issues so for some people yes.
But for a lot of them it’s the same thing as Giantess, just ‘moar soft woman flesh’ taken to the extreme. Some people just want to imagine sleeping on a pile of female flesh.
A lot of weight gain writing focuses on the tactile sensations, other stuff is more of a ‘gonna pamper and spoil my wifey until she’s soft and cute and lazy”
>Some people just want to imagine sleeping on a pile of female flesh
One man's nightmare is another man's fetish, almost based if fatgays didn't spam it everywhere
I think part of it is that Cinemaphile is notoriously harsh on them in particular compared to Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile who let them be.
That and most fat lovers are just kinda confused about why they like it.
I prefer the less blobby ones
What’s the appeal of this. This specifically. Explain
No, please don't explain.
I’m curious, I just don’t get it,
And this shit. Why would a fitness buff decide to become a fat frick?
Zero clue where the love of lard comes from. Some of us were just born this way
>wtf causes people to find the latter attractive
Zero clue. Just how I am
Have you not seen the sticcgays that ree about anything having breasts or ass?
Sticcgays exist?
No I haven't not in this thread, and not being spammed in Ms. Cinemaphile threads. You are a literal cancer that is killing tournaments, and I hope you legitimately seek mental help or have a nice day.
These are the discord false flaggers behind the industrycuck spam and they want tournaments banned
Alright, NOW this thread will get pruned. Come on, have a little restraint until the tournament. This is kinda tacky.
The fatgays corrupted and tarnished Jackie.
Chubby Chaser here, I’m open to playing fair and square as long as ya’ll reciprocate
Notice, when fatgays arrived coincides exactely wityh when Jannies started cracking down on these tournaments.
Remember that the report function exists anons, what you do with it is your own decision.
brb I'm about to vomit
truly fatgays were the real enemy of the tournaments all along
And this is why our "stealth" threads never work. PS: Orderposting has gotten equally moronic over time
The villains seeding results https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cHmkNcbQdXeuOM5JXZIaRo9y3w-kcT_2n4NJm27y7F8/edit?usp=sharing
Thoughts?
meh.
I kind of think /tnt/ being campaign-obsessed is overstated when I see their actual results. True that campaigning helps but the most popular picks still have the one-up over campaigned obscurities, and if a series is just disliked no amount of campaigning will really help.
Campaigning is what makes the tournaments fun, but it doesn't affect much until the later rounds. Still, general popularity is always going to have more of an effect.
you can spam threads all you want but when it's time to vote, people are still gonna go with the characters they like
this is why all the b***hing about campaigns is stupid and does more harm than good
Zorak and Xavier last year showed that people worried that campaigns will negatively effect voting are correct
What?
>Zorak and Xavier
What do you mean? Because those were low seeds that got far?
Zorak had slightly more tournament history as Shirley and Xavier was always early round fodder, now they are sudden championship caliber players?
Nah
dude what the frick are you talking about
ah yes, the winner and the first-time elite 8. tragic victims of campaigning.
He is complaining those characters got far thanks to campaigning.
>these characters getting far in the tournament is a bad thing because… it just is OKAY!?
Get real.
i almost wish he had brought up the xavier/ena 8th place meme. at least then he'd have a point.
The comment is a response to the point that characters who are popular are voted for and not the ones who solely skirted by on roleplay
Zorak and Xavier prove that to be false.
But how the frick does it affect voting "negatively"?
You're voting negatively when you vote for whoever I don't like, and you're respecting the spirit and integrity of the tournaments when you vote for whoever I do like. Got it?
Characters with little to no history in tournaments and are minor in popularity becoming "mega players" or even winning because someone decided to spam every post with scat roleplay is an objective negative association
You need to calm down with the scat roleplay thing. It's not like zorak had anything to do with that.
Zorak was the vore roleplay with Fang right?
Is the "scat roleplay" in the room with us right now?
homie for how long have you been voting in these?
Since the very first Ms Cinemaphile in 2018
>Characters with little to no history in tournaments
Zorak's campaign IS his history, and he's also a vintage pick
>and are minor in popularity
XRA is one of the few cartoons Cinemaphile can agree is good
i get the feeling you're just salty
>minor in popularity
Oh no no no anon thinks number of threads about them per day = their board popularity. If that logic was true then an Amphibia character would have won already.
Or gacha characters on Cinemaphile
Zorak had failed to qualify for 3 tournaments, and made near the tailend of the bracket for the one prior while being blown out in round 1 by hundreds of votes
You don't just go from that to suddenly winning with no FOTM media to attach it with unless something sketchy happened
>hundreds of votes
Mr. Cinemaphile barely gets over 100 votes for the qualifier round. There's no way there were "hundreds of votes" differences between matchups
Round 1 is not the qualifier round silly
you sound salty
you had one job you morons, 20 votes my ass
But John Silver did make it.
Pretty alright all things considered.
>Vexus didn’t make it
F
Megatron and Starscream failed too despite Optimus good run in Heroes.
>Phantom Blot (Disney's greatest villain) - in the bottom 15 out of 300+ characters
Sincerely you are all homosexuals
>CIA is in
>He's a high seeder
>Bane nowhere to be seen
explain to me how Peter Griffin, Master Shake, Grim and half the roster are in any way "Villains"?
>Peter Griffin
>Master Shake
>Grim
Are you serious?
Yes
Generally speaking the hero/villain definition is pretty soft, an antagonist or a guy who can be judged as bad tends to be who proceeds, not just "evil supervillains"
It's more along the lines of morally bad than actual villains.
Damn, I would’ve nominated Tiff if that’s all you need to be to count as a villain.
All 3 of them are murderers and worse than most of their actual villains, anon.
Protagonists can be villains. Peter Griffin and Shake are definitely villains. Grim... eh
Princess Marco OwO
I saw Septemeber 1st is the date we're starting, is that accurate?
Yes.
yup, we may also get a new voting site replacing Google Docs but from what was tested it's too slow
ok what the frick happened to Stats?
He died
Either died or quit because of the backlash of ms. 2021 was his breaking point and it just wasn't worth the mega-autistic amount of work.
the least he could've done was tell us how to fricking do the polls as fast as he fricking did
CAN WE PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT OBESITY
I was gonna say: why couldn't it have been a better fetish at least? but then i remembered vore and futa gays are their main rivals.
What's a better fetish? Every fetish other than mine is cringe, autistic and moronic
Something that isn't /d/-tier moronation.
This is literally everyone’s mindset. Mostly. I think Scatgays know no one else likes them.
But in terms of the big ones (weight fajb, feet, femboy and traps, genderbender, giantess, bondage, braps, Preggo) thats usually the mindset
I’m glad it isn’t a better fetish, there’s enough morons making feet enjoyers look bad as is.
You know very well footgays already make themselves look bad.
Yeah which is why we don’t need even more people making us look bad.
I say we combat fatposting with animeposting
anime is only good for pleasing my wiener
So you admit you like it than.
We already have anime in the form of bejita and goku posting
all campaign is the same
>character gets into tournament
"wow I can't believe I'm here this is gonna be so fun/awful"
>character meets opponent
"literally who are you, as if you could beat me"
>character wins
"ha i always knew i was the best/had the most supporters"
>character loses
"how could this happen, i was rigged against"
All day is the same
>Wake up
>Go to work
>Eat
>Shit
>Go home
>Sleep
Does anyone outside of the DTVA girls really do that exactly?
count duckula and clueless are literally doing it right now
I mean, it's fitting for Clueless to be clueless.
Yeah? Almost everyone does it
>tfw the tournaments have tropes now
If there was a tournament political compass, what would the two axes be? Would there be more than two?
I'm gonna try something different this Ms.
Thankfully she's easy to draw.
I have hope for her.
>Characters with little to no history in tournaments and are minor in popularity becoming "mega players"
People still need an occasional reminder a lot of our current big players started out as low seeded fodder and only made it far eventually thanks to campaigning. Tyr’ahnee herself is a prime example of this. So no, "campaigning" is not about affecting voting negatively just because you are inherently biased againts less popular characters.
Next thread August 31?
no because it might effect the official thread, only 1 thread can be up at a time concerning the tournament
some gay is gonna make another hype thread. make sure it isn't you.
soon
SOON
frick it I'll vote for these characters, have no fricking idea what's going on in the show but I know who they are
we take those
>these are the people actively advocating for shit like lower-seeded victories, randomized brackets, Series/Elite 8 restrictions and ERP ~~*campaigning*~~
KEKAROO
>These are [HEADCANON]
trying too hard
Bejitabro btw
You want to point out cringey ERP and you pick that tame ass shit?
Besides, Statler and Waldorf posting has already been a thing on Cinemaphile for years. I see it in screencap threads all the time.
anon hates any campaigning, you can tell he's assmad about his pick losing to some underdog.
if i had to guess? probably a frankiegay. they always throw a fit when they lose.
Someone did try to nominate her for villains just because she didn't win heroes
Most of that is fine. I agree with
You could've picked WAY worse if you were actually a frequenter there.
Wtf is even wrong with the 4 things you listen?
Fun bad
Silent cruisers good
Why do people campaign with walls of text
I ain't readin that shit
Bad way to try to win over people who don't already prefer that character
Writing is fun. What are you, moronic?
Brevity and good articulation is important in writing
Back and forth with other posters is good, but sometimes you need to churn out longer texts for a particular idea to work.
Dude, writing more doesn't inherently mean you have poor articulation. It's about making every word count. Like Farquaad's speeches are brilliant. He adds touches that make it sound in character, he acknowledges and thanks his voters, he relates it to his current opponent.
And I just thought. The reason why those previously mentioned "tournament tropes" exist is because it's perfectly in character for a lot of the characters we like to behave that way. Of course Lord Farquaad is going to be really grandiose and believe he's the best. It's not out of laziness or lack of creativity, plus it's usually the starting point for character interactions and those can develop into something completely unpredictable.
Writegayging is what you do if you don't artgay. It's just going all in on that.
I make photo edits because I can't draw
Well this thread was a bust.
It's pretty much the usual.
We've had worse
what're your predictions for the next 4 months?
Chaos
My pick wins
Autism
Most tourneys will be utterly boring except for King of Cinemaphile, which is going to be filled with drama, seething and sneeding.
>a male tourney
>having more drama and seething than a waifu tourney
b***h how
Simple, it's Cinemaphile
/v/'s female tourney unironically has more in common with Mr. Cinemaphilelympus than with our equivalent
ms. Cinemaphile will be shit, because ms. Cinemaphile is always shit
Spider-Man fricking dies again
homie balls
best host
That would be stats though
best currently living?
ah yes Stats (formerly alive)
stats after not surviving
Say who was that Tyr'ahnee artist who passed away yet who made art for us?
Goodbye see you next month
