My horny ass could NOT be the sole mechanic for a mech, alone in the repair bay, talking to the mech's AI core, discussing the harsh reality of the war we've found ourselves in. Me discussing my mortality, the 50ft entity I've spent the last several years learning the intricacies of and is fully aware of the fact that as a tool of war it'll either die in battle or end up abandoned as it's systems all fail until emergency back-up power keeps it awake for possibly thousands of years. We talk about how neither of us has felt a connection between ourselves and anything else worth dying for like that, except maybe... Well, the rest of the base has almost certainly gone to sleep by now. The cockpit clicks shut with a soft "click" and I. I mean uh, I forgot where I was going with this.

probably surprising no one this tournament is on hiatus until further notice

In the kindest way possible, because almost everyone who's left tags has been like, enthusiastic/nice/only playfully mean, I've been thinking about making a list of etiquette for interacting with these brackets. Because when you have enough people in one space, IRL or online, you'll inevitably have at least a few people who say some of the most hurtful, out of pocket shit possible, and I don't want things to get ruined for anyone else you know?

Like, things you SHOULD do (unless a poll runner specifically says they don't want it):

Uplift your favs

PLAYFULLY slander the competition

Make fun memes about the polls

Things you SHOULDN'T do:

Post multi-paragraph rants about how much you hate a character

Ask the poll runner to include characters well into the voting phase of the bracket

Demand they run second, third, etc brackets because Your favorite character didn't get submitted

Things you ABSOLUTELY do NOT do:

Compare the poll results to real-life politics ("Which robot would you fuck" != Brexit, 2016 POTUS, etc)

Tell people to kill themselves if they dont vote for your favorite character

Send death threats/doxx people running the Tumblr poll (!?)

I don't have an end to this post. I have to go to class. But I can't be the only poll runner tired of suicide jokes/death threats/doxxing in the fucking Tumblr Poll Community or whatever.

Best Robot Tournament

Round 1 - Zane versus Wall-e

[best-bot-tournament-2023]

Don't apologise for being absent, we don't even need an explanation. It's just free entertainment so you don't have any timer to get the "job" done, you don't owe us punctuality.

Thank You so much for sending this. Tbh If it weren't for comments like this I honestly probably would have given up on this whole thing.

Big love to you and anyone else who takes time put of their day to show kindness to a stranger. It makes more of a difference than you might think.

Best Robot Tournament

Round 1 - Queen versus Jenny

If small blue fembots are your thing then this poll might be a tricky one for you. Who will you choose?

[best-bot-tournament-2023]

Hello again. Sorry for dropping off the face of the planet. It's an unfortunate side effect of who I am as a person.

It's not ideal but I think the only way I'm gonna finish this tournament is if I give up on making graphics and just do the polls without them so that's the plan.

Congrats to all of the robots who have officially made it through to Round 2 during my absence!
