UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; REVIVAL BRACKET MEETS WINNERS BRACKET

THE FINAL DECISION

Shen Qingqiu (SVSSS) vs. Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

RULES

For tie sweeps, im giving each match up a 0.2% margin. Additionally, you have to convince me that these two character have something in common besides being unreliable goofiers

Propaganda is very much encouraged :]

Please be nice to each other :( At the end of the day, this is a silly internet bracket with way too many obscure characters to count. remember to touch grass everyone

Polls from round 1-3 will be one day! From there, all polls will be a week, including the finals

The winner of the loser's bracket will go against the winner of the winner's bracket and that winner will be declared the most unreliable

There will be no propaganda on the polls. However I will still reblog art + propaganda in reblogs

There will be new characters so that the bracket is complete. These characters are highlighted in bold.

Main tag (with polls) will be #unreliable narrator battle

List of all characters below (+their match ups and brackets!)

GRADUATION MISSION :: KURO DHALIA

Domingo, 15 de Janeiro de 2023, 08:00hs ― Os recrutas de Wakamono se preparam para sua missão de graduação. 

Foi na sexta-feira, dia 13 de Janeiro de 2023, as 19:00hs que todos receberam emails, recrutas e instrutores, informando sobre a missão de graduação: colher informações sobre alunas, professores e staffs da KURO DHALIA, antiga escola de espionagem para meninas do japão, e uma das escolas que fundou Wakamono. Sabe-se que a agente duplo que vazou o programa secreto Code Youth, era uma Dhalia, mas até hoje não se sabe exatamente quem era, e cabe aos atuais agentes de Wakamono, desvendar esse enigma antes do aniversário de 13 anos da academia.

OPERAÇÃO 

1º PASSO :: Invadir o antigo campus da Kuro Dhalia, que apesar de abandonado é repleto de armadilhas.

2º PASSO :: Coletar informações da central de operação da antiga escola, identificar os perfis e selecionar os suspeitos.

3º PASSO :: Investigar os suspeitos e tudo ligado a eles.

4º PASSO :: Enviar um relatório completo aos superiores do programa Code Youth.

ESQUADRÕES

MAIN SQUAD :: Jayden “Jay” Lee, Kwon Yeonggi, Lee “Levy” Minhee, Bae Jinah, Ju Taeyang, Kim Naomi, Maxine Yi, Jeong Daesung, Heo “Gael” Gaeul e Kamoon Horvejkul, terão a tarefa de invadir o campus, roubar os arquivos físicos (papelada), seguir os suspeitos e passar todas as informações que conseguirem para a central de comando. Serão supervisionados pelos instrutores Seo Hajun e Sophie Song.

SUPORT SQUAD :: Sun Prayut Aromdee, Kwon HyeSuk, Heléne Yoon,  Liu Yanghao, Kang Yuri, Kwang Nicoline, Subin “Benjamin” Park, Emma Wang, Han Soomi, Nam Taerim, Mai Thu Lụa, Choi Yui, Cha Hyeshin, Wei Yuan, Bang Hyunbin e Oliver Yoon, terão a tarefa de apoiar e auxiliar na invasão do campus, ficando na central de comando e providenciando toda e qualquer ajuda remota, invadir os antigos sistemas e roubas todos seus dados, identificar e catalogar os suspeitos, enviando ao esquadrão em campo. Serão supervisionados pelos instrutores Kang Daeshik, Ahn “Thomas” Yong, Li Xue, Kang Yohan, Kim Daejung, Bae Jiho, Ogawa Hoshi, Blossom Yang, Jeong Haechan e Hwang Haseul.

INFORMAÇÕES DO EMAIL

Kuro Dhalia Campus Localização: Coordenadas DMS 35° 36′ 0″ N, 140° 6′ 0″ E Decimal 35.6, 140.1.

As caminhonetes irão sair Domingo, 15 de Janeiro de 2023, 08:00hs em ponto. O acampamento será levantado na reserva florestal ao sul do campus. Retorno programado para Sábado, 21 de Janeiro de 2023, 08:00hs.

ooc

Finalmente nossa primeira missão! Esperamos que estejam tão animados quanto nós estamos, então vamos aos tópicos importantes em OOC pra ajudar todo mundo a completar o objetivo.

O prazo de entrega do relatório em OOC é até 27/01.

Nessa task queremos que vocês sejam CRIATIVOS. Vocês podem colocar em prática todas as ideias sobre missões que já viram em filmes, desenhos, livros, o que quer que seja. A Kuro Dhalia é cercada de mistérios tal qual a história em que foi inspirada, ou seja, vocês podem fazer com que os personagens descubram coisas que podem ou não ser reais de acordo com o plot. Podem criar NPCs, podem criar suspeitos, podem realmente desenvolver o lado mais criativo de vocês. Descreverem passo a passo de como foi a missão durante a semana, o que deu certo e o que deu errado. Os agentes estão indo para a Kuro Dhalia para pegar informações a respeito de uma traidora, é a única coisa que todos sabem. 

Os personagens foram listados de acordo com seus níveis, não foi um sorteio, então se atentem a isso. Cada personagem tem uma linha de treino de acordo com seu curso, então se mantenham nessa linearidade para não fugir do que ele é apto para fazer ou não. Estaremos monitorando isso também. 

Como irão todos, ninguém ficou em Wakamono pois todos precisam passar por essa missão, logo, nada de preguicinha do personagem sozinho da academia. Em ooc pode até não participar, mas o personagem esteve presente.

Desentendimentos em IC são permitidos e até incentivados, afinal entre inexperientes e experientes é normal acontecer algum tipo de frustração não programada, mas lembrem-se sempre de COMUNICAR e COMBINAR antes. Não é permitido desentendimentos em IC não combinados previamente. 

A equipe de suporte é de suma importância para a equipe de campo. São eles quem irão auxiliar em tempo real os agentes em ação e precisam estar sempre ligados para o que está acontecendo e até mesmo, se possível, prever o que acontecerá em prol da segurança da outra equipe. As duas equipes precisam estar bem alinhadas para uma maior chance da missão ser bem sucedida. Desta forma vocês podem combinar como seria essa dinâmica de uma forma que fica fácil para todo mundo.

US economic recovery (WSJ) The U.S. economic recovery is unlike any in recent history, powered by consumers with trillions in extra savings, businesses eager to hire and enormous policy support. Businesses and workers are poised to emerge from the downturn with far less permanent damage than occurred after recent recessions, particularly the 2007-09 downturn. New businesses are popping up at the fastest pace on record. The rate at which workers quit their jobs—a proxy for confidence in the labor market—matches the highest going back at least to 2000. American household debt-service burdens, as a share of after-tax income, are near their lowest levels since 1980, when records began. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 18% from its pre-pandemic peak in February 2020. Home prices nationwide are nearly 14% higher since that time. The speed of the rebound is also triggering turmoil. The shortages of goods, raw materials and labor that typically emerge toward the end of an expansion are cropping up much sooner. Many economists, along with the Federal Reserve, expect the jump in inflation to be temporary, but others worry it could persist even once reopening is complete. “We’ve never had anything like it—a collapse and then a boom-like pickup,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist and strategist at Decision Economics, Inc. “It is without historical parallel.”

Rent prices are soaring as Americans flock back to cities (Washington Post) Lauren Campos opened the door to her Phoenix apartment last week to find a note stuck in the door frame. Her rent was going up nearly $400 a month, the note said, a 33 percent increase. Rents are starting to surge in many parts of the country as the economy reopens and young people return rapidly to cities. Nationwide, rent prices are up 7.5 percent so far this year, three times higher than normal, according to data from Apartments.com. Analysts expect rent prices to keep climbing for the foreseeable future, a major burden for renters and a warning sign that higher inflation could linger far longer than the White House and Federal Reserve keep predicting. Rents for single-family homes are growing at the fastest pace in 15 years, according to data firm CoreLogic. Parts of the country that used to be considered affordable are suddenly experiencing the kind of rent frenzy with bidding wars and surging prices that had previously been exclusive to mega cities like San Francisco and New York City.

Heat wave blankets US West as fires rage in several states (AP) Firefighters struggled to contain an exploding Northern California wildfire under blazing temperatures as another heat wave blanketed the West. Death Valley in southeastern California’s Mojave Desert reached 128 degrees Fahrenheit (53 Celsius) on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service’s reading at Furnace Creek. The shockingly high temperature was actually lower than the previous day, when the location reached 130 F (54 C). If confirmed as accurate, the 130-degree reading would be the hottest high recorded there since July 1913, when Furnace Creek desert hit 134 F (57 C), considered the highest measured temperature on Earth. About 300 miles (483 kilometers) northwest of the sizzling desert, the largest wildfire of the year in California was raging along the border with Nevada.

Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic crew are safely back from space, ushering in a new era (Washington Post) Richard Branson completed a daring, barnstorming flight to edge of space Sunday, rocketing through the atmosphere in the spaceplane he’d been yearning to ride for nearly 20 years. The suborbital trip gave the British billionaire, his three crewmates and two pilots a glimpse of the Earth from more than 50 miles up and a few minutes of weightlessness before the vehicle they were traveling in, SpaceShipTwo Unity, glided back to Earth and a landing on the runway at Virgin Galactic’s facility in the New Mexico desert. It was SpaceShipTwo’s fourth trip to the edge of space since 2018, and Virgin Galactic, the company Branson founded in 2004, says it will soon start flying paying customers regularly on similar jaunts, opening a new era in human space exploration.

For a $12.50 raffle ticket, the keys to drug lord El Chapo’s seized safe house in Mexico await (Washington Post) Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was naked and asleep with his mistress, Lucero Sanchez, when Mexican marines battered down his front door in 2014. Without time to put on clothes, the lovers ran to the bathroom, and plugged in a cord: causing hydraulics to lift up an unassuming bathtub. Concealed below was a web of secret tunnels leading to other hideouts through the town’s sewage system. With little time to spare, Guzmán and his lover escaped. Eventually caught for the last time in 2016, Guzmán is serving a life sentence in Colorado. Now the two-bedroom house in northwestern Mexico could be yours for the cost of lottery ticket. The Mexican government is raffling off the site of Guzmán’s dramatic escape, along with seven other houses, seven apartments, five lots, a ranch, and a 20-seat viewing box at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The prizes—confiscated assets from various criminal operations and now owned by the government—are valued at a total of $12.5 million. Lottery tickets cost 250 pesos ($12.50). Winning tickets will be drawn on Sept. 15, the day before Mexico’s Independence Day.

The assassination of Haiti’s president has thrown the nation into disarray (NYT/Washington Post) Shootouts have erupted in the streets of Port-au-Prince, and terrified citizens have been cowering in their homes after President Jovenel Moïse was gunned down in his residence on Wednesday. At least 20 people—18 Colombians and two Haitian Americans—have been detained in the attack. The Haitian authorities have asked the U.S. to send troops to stabilize the country. But the Biden administration showed no immediate enthusiasm for sending even a limited American force. Some in Haiti quickly criticized the request, citing other foreign interventions that left a trail of abuses. Moïse’s assassination sparked dueling claims to power. Four men have staked claims to either the presidency or the prime minister’s post. Since the assassination, Haiti has plunged deeper into a complex crisis that risks creating a Somalia in the Caribbean—a failed state 800 miles off the coast of Florida ridden by violence, overcome by disease, inflation and deepening hunger and controlled by warlord-like factions and weak nominal governments.

Black Sea drills showcase strong NATO-Ukraine defense ties (AP) Ukraine and NATO have conducted Black Sea drills involving dozens of warships in a two-week show of their strong defense ties and capability following a confrontation between Russia’s military forces and a British destroyer off Crimea last month. The Sea Breeze 2021 maneuvers that ended Saturday involved about 30 warships and 40 aircraft from NATO members and Ukraine. The captain of the USS Ross, a U.S. Navy destroyer that took part in the drills, said the exercise was designed to improve how the equipment and personnel of the participating nations operate together. “We’d like to demonstrate to everybody, the international community, that no one nation can claim the Black Sea or any international body of water,” Cmdr. John D. John said aboard the guided missile destroyer previously deployed to the area for drills. “Those bodies of water belong to the international community, and we’re committed to ensure that all nations have access to international waterways.” The Russian military also conducted a series of parallel drills in the Black Sea and southwestern Russia, with warplanes practicing bombing runs and long-range air defense missiles’ deploying to protect the coast.

Pope appears in public for first time since surgery (AP) Pope Francis on Sunday made his first public appearance since major intestinal surgery last week, greeting well-wishers as he stood for 10 minutes on a hospital balcony, offering hearty thanks for the prayers for his recovery and calling health care for all a “precious” good. Francis, 84, has been steadily on the mend, according to the Vatican, following his July 4 scheduled surgery to remove a portion of his colon which had narrowed due to inflammation. But it hasn’t said just when he might be discharged. On the morning after his surgery, a Holy See spokesperson said his hospital stay was expected to last seven days, “barring complications.” In his remarks, the pope praised the “tenderness” of those who care for the sick, which he said was “like a caress that makes you feel better, eases the pain and picks you up.”

Thousands evacuated from floods in China’s Sichuan, more rain forecast (Reuters) Heavy rains and flooding have forced thousands of people to evacuate in China’s southwestern province of Sichuan, with authorities on Sunday urging citizens across the country to brace for more downpours. In Sichuan, torrential rain since Friday has raised the water levels of 14 rivers, swept away boats and bridges and forced the evacuation of more than 4,600 people, state media reported. While no casualties have been reported, state media said the rain and flooding have affected more than 120,000 people, forced the cancellation of some train services and caused more than 176 million yuan ($27 million) worth of damage. About 27,000 homes in the city of Bazhong, Sichuan were reported to be without power.

Netanyahu vacates prime minister’s residence in Jerusalem (AP) Benjamin Netanyahu and his family vacated the Israeli prime minister’s official residence early Sunday, nearly a month after the longtime leader was ousted from office with the formation of an alternate government. A family spokesman confirmed the Netanyahus left the residence on Balfour Street in Jerusalem shortly after midnight, in line with a deadline agreed upon last month with newly inaugurated Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The Balfour residence had become a symbol of the Netanyahus’ scandals, and was the scene of weekly protests against Netanyahu for much of the past year. Demonstrators called on the then-prime minister to resign while on trial for corruption. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and refused to step down.

Syria’s president decrees 50% salary hike amid harsh crisis (AP) Syrian President Bashar Assad issued a decree Sunday giving hundreds of thousands of civil servants and military members a 50% salary increase amid a harsh economic and financial crisis and price increases for vital products. Assad’s decision came a day after the state doubled the price of bread, the country’s main staple, and increased by 180% the price of diesel fuel. The Syrian economy has been hard hit by a decade of war, Western sanctions, widespread corruption and most recently a severe economic and financial crisis in neighboring Lebanon. The last salary increase was announced in November 2019. The decree released by Assad’s office put the minimum monthly income at 71,515 Syrian pounds ($22). Nearly 80% of Syrians live in poverty, and 60% are food insecure—the worst food security situation ever seen in Syria, according to the United Nations.
