The Near Misses Tourney (2 of 2)

In 400+ submissions many worthy and noble (also some dastardly and evil) men (and orcs and elves and hobbits and the like) were admitted to our fair Tourney.

These are... not them.

No indeed, 20 men (and one... unit?) of those submitted failed to qualify for the tournament, for diverse reasons. They were therefore turned away and tossed on the Near Misses Pile. But the spirit of competition still burns within them and they have erected a makeshift tilt on the outskirts of the Tourney Grounds.

We wish them the Best of luck in their fruitless endeavour!

The four competitors with the most votes will advance to the next round, all others will be sent home in final disgrace

Row 1:

Jan Skrzetuski [Michał Żebrowski], With Fire and Sword {Ogniem i Mieczem} (1999)

There needs to be an "Austen adjacent men" bracket. So many hotties in Austenland (and other properties I guess) and no way to rank them.

it may not be a full bracket but your wish is my command - here are some austen-adjacent men to vote on...

Congratulations to our winning queen GLaDOS!

That will be all for jerk tournament. I don't think I'm insane enough to want to do a loser's bracket or anything else here. It was fun while it lasted. It was nice knowing you, jerk nation o7

Japanese Quotation Pixels

Hello everyone! Remember those little text thingies I posted the other day? Well it turns out- those are the japanese equivalent of quotations marks! They’re called lenticular brackets, and instead of using “” like we do in english, they use 「」 and 『』! Isn’t that neat? I remember the text i found this out from specifying the difference between 「」 and 『』 and how to use them, but the wording was a little confusing for me to understand, haha 😅

anyway, after figuring out that these symbols use/name, I was able to find some cute pixels of them on Emojibank!

enjoy!

It's time for another mini-bracket!

Alright, so I clearly love me a good bracket - otherwise why would I have started this blog? They're a really good way of narrowing down a big group of contestants to find one ultimate winner, and I, for one, find that very fun! That said, one shortcoming of brackets that's always driven me a bit crazy is that they don't really give you any useful information on runners up. This is because if the second most unhinged person in a bracket judging unhingedness (just for instance) happens to be pitted against the most unhinged person in the very first round, they're out right away and looking at the bracket results won't tell you a damn thing about how unhinged the loser is! On the flip side, a pretty normal person could make it to the semi-finals by just happening to be the craziest person in the most sane quadrant of the bracket!

With this in mind, I've devised a mini-bracket to find the most unhinged loser from rounds 1 and 2 of the main bracket - a sort of unhingedness honorable mention poll, or, as I've been thinking about it, the "whoo boy those hinges are looking rusty as hell and should not be trusted to bear weight" awards. It won't exactly solve the problem of not having a meaningful silver medalist for the main bracket, but it will hopefully give some love to the contestants folks were most disappointed to see go out early (Becca and BDG truthers, I'm looking at you).

The format of this mini-bracket will be the same as the first, with initial polls containing four contestants followed by two rounds of one-on-one polls. Polls will last 1 day. The pool of contestants are all the losers from round 2 and the 8 losers from round 1 who did the worst in the hingedness mini-bracket.

And in the meantime, don't forget to be voting in round 3 of the main poll, which is still live! (I think after this I'm gonna stop with the minis for the rest of this poll but I really wanted to pit these losers against each other first.)

Now, without further ado, let's get round 1 of the Unhinged Honorable Mention Mini-Bracket started!

the shadow bracket creeps from the gutters; the rain stops still, not a single voice utters. only one woman can be crowned the queen: make her haughty and regal, and most of all mean.
