#fandom tournament

You should all know the rules by now but for any newcomers

No real people. That means no Youtubers, no historical figures (unless highly fictionalized i.e. no Dr. Oppenheimer from Oppenheimer but you can use Mozzart from Amadeus), and no celebrities (exceptions will be made for fictionalized personas i.e. Daft Punk)

No anti-propaganda or character hate. It will not be posted and I will 🍅🍅🍅 you with my mind

No casts of characters. You’re allowed to make as many submissions as you like, but each submission must be ONE character each

Do not send me anon hate about propaganda or lack thereof.

Propaganda is highly encouraged, as I try to avoid writing any to reduce bias.

In order to keep a fair tournament and give other fandoms a chance to shine, the finalists and semi finalists of Sad Tourney 2 are not allowed to enter. This means no Jean Descole, Shadow the Hedgehog, Anthony Lockwood, or Klaus Hargreeves. However, all competitors from the first tourney are welcome to come back

Now SEND IN YOUR BOY

Hello everyone! Long time no see, eh? It's me. I've been trying to find out how to give everyone's points and I've been settling things in the narrative and the meta side of things. I know not everyone would agree with the events happening, but I know this will be the most likely scenarios to have happened according to each character and each events that happened. That being said, let's get back to our host! (Quick side note, I'm very busy and may not be able to frequently update from time to time! So just bemindful of that in case I miss anything. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask!)

Welcome back dear viewer. Miss us? I know how awfully lonely it must've been. Boy, it felt like weeks passed by! Anyway, we don't have any time. Our contestants have been holed up in their hotel rooms, just waiting to see your faces shine! Don't believe me? See them for yourself, you'll definitely see that there is an absolute ray of happiness in their eyes, they definitely didn't just crawl out of a ditch! Anyway, want a recap on what happened? It'll be a quick one! Let's go!

Round: Perwinkle Pillars vs Cobalt Cookies

Starting off with a doozy of a round! For those of you cheering on the Pillars, congratulations. They won this round. I'll explain. Because Gingerbrave kept an eye on everyone, he was able to stop Shadow Milk Cookie from trying to sabotage the other team, making it so that they had to win fairly. This, in turn, aired out tension between SMC and PVC that made them unfortunately sing worse than they already had due to the tension that befell on them. Due to this, PVC is keeping a closer eye on him from now on. Unfortunately, the Pillars seem to have gotten a hold of their groove and was able to play together as Petra took the limelight. Because of that, she was able to sing her heart out, in turn playing louder than the Cobalt Cookies. This lead to them being eliminated, which means you will be seeing the Pillars in another round. Hm…? What did SMC's sabotage consist of you ask?… Maybe try asking him that yourself when you get the chance.

Round: Mustard Menaces vs Epic the Musical

Let's see, the warriors vs the debaters. Students vs adults who are twice their ages. Maybe more than that if you consider they're pretty much from the past, but let's look past that! Because of your choices, it would seem you aided them both fairly and tried to balance them out against each other. These 8 have had an actual singing match-up that might have ended in a tie if it weren't for the fact that there are some of them out there who are more strategic than they seem. It was supposed to be the victory belonging to the Orange Odyssey, if it had not been for that bear. Monokuma sabotaged the Orange Odyssey by injuring someone from their team, and because the Orange Odyssey went all out that bear took them by surprise. You're lucky to have had that bear on your side… What's with that look? You don't like how things turned out? They didn't take it well either. You're lucky that it wasn't one of their own teammates, that would've made tension grow even higher among the group. Besides. All is fair in the Fandom Championships.

Round: Chartreuse Courtroom vs Violet Vocals

I don't know why you all picked for him to belt it out… Did you want to embarrass him? If so, I applaud you. This round was okay to say the least. The Violet Vocals decided to perform a classic song, however it seems we could only see Gumi on stage… No wait I was wrong, they showed up across the song. Lovely. I wonder if the other three options were other vocaloid song references as well. As for the Chartreuse Courtroom… Your prosecutor had belted out a song which I'm pretty sure was from a kids show. Either way, the prosecutor was soon joined by his colleagues after they had snapped out of their initial shock. While their voices were loud, it was definitely no match for the Violet Vocals. They have more experience than the other group, that's for sure… I wonder, would they been eliminated if they were up against someone else, or if the first game was something else? That begs more questions than you'd think, wouldn't it?

Round: Pink Pancakes vs Mahogany Monsters

The child made the deal with a flower. While the Pink Pancakes asked their friend about an advantage… It was never going to be a fair fight, you know? While those ponies were singing, that flower had a trick up his sleeve. Because the child made a deal with the flower, the child had gained the trust of the skeleton brothers to sing while blindfolded. Weirdly enough, they both agreed to do it. That was the start of their plan. As the ponies sang, Flowey began trying to sabotage the ponies. Little did he know they could also fight back. Out of the four of them, three are powerful unicorns. While everyone's magic was made to be weaker, so was Flowey's. It was a duel that happened as they sang, but if you'd think that'd be enough to stop those ponies you'd better think twice. Due to the plan not going as they were promised, Frisk unfolded the brothers' blindfolds. In turn, the majority of the Mahogany Monsters stopped singing, causing them to lose to the Pink Pancakes. Unfortunately, not all of them remained unscathed. There were still some who suffered more because she couldn't have fought back even if she wanted to.

Round: Silver Speedsters vs Wanderlust Witches

Now for this round, it was amazing. You should've been there. It was unfortunate, one of the speedsters was almost late because he decided to get a snack. Well, not that late but late enough for one of their teammates. The couple from the Wanderlust Witches sang a duet as the other two acted as backing vocals. It would've been nice to hear on repeat, but it's unfortunate how we can only live broadcast it once! While I would like to say the witches took them with ease, that would be lying. Before the round began, Sonic began glowing in hues of purple and blues. It seems whatever he ate gave him side effects that made him have enough energy to sing. Well, not sing perse, it seems these four considered doing a rap verse. Except Sonic took the lead on this. Because of this unexpected turn of events, Luz matched his energy and tried to go all out but it couldn't be managed. What were you even feeding him? I don't know if I even want to, I might end up digging a hole if I were him. You're lucky he didn't end up getting late… But I did see a familiar face in the crowd. Too bad we can never see him again… Right?

Do you think you made the right choices? Two are injured, but don't worry! I assure you, they will only feel more pain after this. And not just them, it'll most likely be many more of your favorite characters! Hm? You don't want them to die? Fine, let me just make this up...

[New Rule has been added: Killing another contestant of the Fandom Championships outside of challenges is strictly prohibited. Violation of this rule will result in a penalty of -10 points.]

The results are in... And your choices have been made! You've all voted for your characters to do things you'd wish to see most, and I applaud you for voting! However, there's some polls which seem to have gotten into a stalemate. And I'm gonna put this here in case any of it is gonna end up being a problem in the near future... But in the case you are all indecisive, it will end up on either my part or the wheel. Though, it will mostly be the wheel since half the time I'm just as indecisive as you guys. Unfortunately there were three ties, so that means I have to spin the wheel for each choice unmade.

There was a lot of commotion before the competition started, and Fluttershy was a bit unprepared for the events coming soon. If she could, she would've just stayed at home but she's part of this competition. She can't let her friends down!

Looking at the other teams, she decides to strike up a friendly conversation with one of them. "Um... Oh, ah hello. I was just wondering if maybe..."

"Hm?" Turning around, the girl in the purple robe gasped at the sight of the pegasus in front of her. She beams and kneels to her level. "Oh my gosh, you're so adorable! Are you one of the other teams? I'm Maya Fey!" She outstretches a hand out, a hoof meeting it in response. "I'm Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you." This girl seemed nice, so Fluttershy quickly relaxes, her energy has that sense of familiarity she seems to enjoy. The two bond right away, talking about their worlds, with Fluttershy talking with the young spirit medium about animals.

Not long after, Maya starts pulling Fluttershy into their group, which Edgeworth immediately scolds her for. "I'm deeply sorry, Ms. Shy. She can be quite the handful."

"Oh, not at all! It's nice seeing someone with so much energy in the competition. Everything's been tense, so it's best if there were more people like her." To that, Maya gives her usual smug grin. This receives a headshake and eyeroll from Edgeworth. "I suppose. We will see you at the competition."

"Then we will be cheering you on, good luck!" And so, the two teams bid each other adieu. Unbeknownst to the Aces, they had just received allies in the form of colorful ponies from a land of magic. Will that be an advantage? Only time will tell.

Was the hint too... all-in? I was wondering which you were going to choose, and it wasn't that subtle of a hint. Welcome to Musical Mayhem, also known as the Challenge inspired by noneother than Alien Stage! Too on the nose, wasn't it? Onto the rules:

And in a blink, we're gone and ready to sing in this musical tournament! Why is it a Musical Mayhem? Well, duh. Because the participating players will be forced to sing and dance until only one team remains! Huh...? What do you mean you've already seen this? They're in teams and in a tournament-style challenge, they're going to be against each other in like a sing-off! I guess we can expect a 1v1v1 for the unlucky group who wins against the other.

Meta Rules: Since this is the first challenge, let me give you all the ruleset that will start after Fluttershy's interaction has been done. In each challenge, all teams will take on the POV of one character every round. Due to there being eight challenges during the tournament, you get to control each team's characters twice. The order in which characters will be controlled is the order in which you saw them in their team reveal photos. The starting character is the character who has the flag next to their picture, we start from left to right, and repeat until the end of the tournament.

Now, for the reminders... Your votes will determine the results of the challenge. This challenge has plenty of rounds, because of this we will be doing this in three rounds: The starting round, the semi-finals, and the finals. Why is it only three rounds? Due to the nature of the team size, I figured out there will only be 5 teams left in the challenge after the first round. So, to counter this I decided that there will be one team that you guys will vote to be part of the Triple Team Sing-Off Semi-final. While the other two teams compete against each other normally.

Only a day is left. After that, it's time for the tournament to commence... But how would we feel about a short intermission, hm? After all, it'd be nice for some Free Time. Hm? What's that?

Oh, it's nothing! But... you do want to learn more about them, yes? Well, asides from character interactions I'd say they'd be real focused on making alliances and such... Speaking of which, i've spun a wheel for the order we'll be making them go in... So I'll ask you this:

Who should Fluttershy from the Pink Pancakes interact with? Please note that once this happens, you may either gain an advantage or disadvantage. In Interaction polls, these are polls that will give one of three statuses depending on Character A (The interactor) and Character B (The Interactee). So do trust that you'll make the right decision, it can either lead to a Hate/Enemies Route, a Friendship/Ally Route, and... Well, Love Routes are technically allyship, but it's wayyy more complicated and verrryyy indulgent on what the fans want. So be careful if you want to turn that part on, okay? Alrighty then. Onto the poll! Each poll lasts for 3 days, and will be available every time before a game and after.

It's time for you all to choose a game your favorite characters will have to undergo. All of which have a corresponding game type: Physical, Mental, Trust, Co-op, Poll-Heavy (also known as narrative), and Luck-Based. Each game is based on either an already existing thing within the internet no matter how old, or it has to do with the respective fandoms themselves. (The list goes on from Fanfiction, to the stories of the fandom's characters themselves. Even if the fandom isn't in the current rotation.)

Whichever you choose will determine how badly we want to scar our favorite blorbos! Now, I can't give you guys big spoilers to what all our games entail as that'll ruin the fun. The only types of hints I can give you is one word for each of the following games. So listen carefully to the listed hints, and make sure to vote for whatever you think is interesting, whether you think it'll aid your faves or if you think it'll scar the hell out of them!

Please be reminded that certain polls for challenges may end up either hindering or keeping your fandom in a higher place. Only two teams will be able to enter the finale, keep an eye on which ones you wish for them to play.
