Big Tenth - Planning and Organization for SSSS' Tenth Anniversary

[wavewright62]

I forgot to post that the members of the wider family now have their first round in progress - but most of you have already figureds that out.

I should have stats on the Gods & Monsters round this weekend, including which ones will advance to the next round.

Never fear, the crew & HQ will get their chance, too, although I am planning on introducing them against the Round 2 or 3 winners, rather than eliminating them against each other this soon in the piece. 

Please comment - good idea? Or make them duke it out in their own bracket first?  It's a smaller bracket to start with.

I can't see us having them duke it our first.  We'd vote for our team members if they went against anything..and voting against them head to head would be hard for me to decide..

Suggestions that I've come up with include an extension of YoinkTober along themes of 10

I´m a little bit lost as to what is happening right now (just returned from vacation, what month is it? xD), but I heard YoinkTober in here so you have my attention.

Are we voting for favorite characters? I read this thread and had a look at the new board but I´m still a little confused... Was there some announcement post or something you could point me to?

Spoiler: show

Also please stop me if I´m annoying you with YoinkTober... ;_;

Mirasol, each new thread on the child board is a poll, where you choose which of two alternatives you prefer. The first ones are closed now, but there’s lot to vote now and in the coming weeks!

[wavewright62]

Yes, indeedy-do - Round 2 of Gods & m0nSTeRs is up, and I'll be queueing up Round 2 of Minor Characters soon!

And have no fear all, I envision an occasion where we will be left with our valiant crew pitted against one another (and I will be as hard-pressed as the rest of you how to vote)!  Emil v Lalli in the Final? Sigrun v Lalli? Onni v Tuuri? Mikkel v Reynir? *shudder*

Orrrr,...will the likes of Sleipnope or the Cat-Tank advance to the final rounds, trouncing the crew to get there?


Edit:  heya, Round 2 of Minor Characters is up, too!. muhuHAHAHAHA

[Mirasol]

Sounds fun, I´ll check it out!

Will prologue-characters also be a category? Or are they under minor characters?

EDIT: Maybe I should read the threads first before opening my mouth and see that they have a poll-category...

Many of the Prologue characters fall within the All in the Family bracket - Round 2 for that is going to drop this weekend!

The polling contnues, but after Round 2, all of the bracket winners get thrown into the Round 3 - Group of 16 to determine which 8 will go up against THE CREW, woot!

NB - I can't make the numbers work to include the HQ Quartet, I goofed a bit with the initial planning.  Is anybody really sad, waiting for your chance to vote for Siv, Taru, Trond or Torbjorn?  Should I run some 3-way polls amongst Round 3? What do you think?

They're organizers who opted to physically stay away from the battlegrounds, acting out of the background, and pretty shady ones at that. I say that for every round starting with #3, take (whatever's left of) The Quartet and assign each of them to a random "normal" survivor going into that round for a tag team.
(Yes, that includes pairing them with grosslings - c'mon, Siv, that's not too far from your former job - and, by chance, assigning several of them to the same grossling / main character, for extra unfairness. )

Oh heck it's been that long? I was just re-reading the comic and noticed LooNEY_DAC's comment and had to come take a look at the forum after a loooooong while, it's nice to be back (to lurk lol)! 

I think I'll make some fanart for the occasion, it's been an equally long time since I've done that

I like your thinking, my good sir.

10 days out from 1 October - YoinkTober prompt list has dropped, all on the theme of 10!

See y'all on 1 October!

As per your suggestion, I have sprinkled the 4 HQ personnel into the Melee Round as a 3rd option. In the early polling, most of them are getting the odd vote, and as at this writing Trond is actually leading his.  So it's possible at least one of them will advance to the Group of 16 round against the crew.

Heya, just out of curiosity, do y'all have any plans for November First? I perused the threads in the board but there is a lot of content and I didn't want to read all of it.
