One Piece Crack Ship War - Submission post!

Welcome to the One Piece Ship War - crack edition!

What is a crack ship?

A crack ship is a (in this case romantic/sexual) ship that has little to no basis in canon.

When will my ship qualify for this tournament?

They will automatically qualify (after having been submitted) when:

The characters involved have NO canon interaction*, and are not part of the same crew (no matter how popular the ship is).

The characters involved have 1 short canon interaction and less than 10 fics for them on AO3 (as a side pairing counts too)

They might qualify if:**

They have no canon interaction but are part of the same crew or organisation.

They have 1 short canon interaction but more than 10 fics on AO3

They have 1 long canon interactions or 2/3 short ones and less than 10 fics on AO3

They have multiple canon interactions but NO fics on AO3

It's an incredibly funny ship (but you gotta convince me it's crack!)

These ships will not qualify on principal:

ANY ship between Strawhats (honorary Strawhats don't count if they haven't met a certain Strawhat - examples: BrookNami does not qualify, SanjiVivi does not qualify, but BrookVivi would qualify)

The top 25 ships (or something, be sensible) on AO3.

*canon interactions include fillers, cover stories, specials, and movies (though I haven't seen the last 2 yet and I don't remember much of the other ones, so these might slip through, but I'm counting on you to honor this rule). Also, I won't know nor check interactions in the manga (that haven't been animated yet), so something might slip through there as well. Just honor the rules, please.

**Any ships in the 'might qualify' category will be judged on crackyness by me first, and when I'm in doubt, I will put them up for a vote - so expect a few polls for this.

Rules!

All characters must be from One Piece (no OCs).

Must be a crack ship according to above guidelines.

Ships that were in the previous shipping war tournament are allowed in this one too, as long as they follow the previous rule.

No moral limitations. These are fictional characters, not real people. Go wild. (But be prepared for 'problematic' ships to be voted out in round 1 or 2.) I will not start discourse/moral discussions about any ships! (messages about morally questionable ship are likely to be ignored and deleted)

Poly ships are allowed! I will cap them at 5 characters, however, and at least 1 character should follow the interaction rules stated above. (examples: JinbeRobinBrook or KidLawLu are not allowed. RobinNamiKiller would be allowed, on grounds of Killer having no interactions with the other 2 (I think? 😂)) Again, be sensible here.

All characters involved have to be humanoid. No concepts, objects, or full animals (fishmen/merfolk, minks, and Chopper are allowed).

You can submit multiple ships, but use a new form for each ship.

Do not hate on other ships, just support your own.

You are allowed and encouraged to submit fanart! As a lot of these ship won't have official art with all characters in it, it will come down to fanart for the most of it ((bad) edits are also very much allowed). However, it needs to be your own or you need permission from the artist before submitting it! However, if you haven't gotten permission yet when submitting, you can always send me a link to the fanart later. Without picture submitted, there might be a chance your ship will have to compete without a picture.

Keep the main images SFW and spoiler free. Propaganda can contain nsfw stuff and manga spoilers, as long as it's announced up front (eg: [Spoilers ahead]/[nsfw ahead])

Submit only through the google form below. Submisions through asks or reblogs will not be accepted.

Read the rules? Go ahead and submit those ships! (<you can click on that)

Oh yeah, and in case you're wondering... All submitted ships that pass the crack ship bar will make it into the tournament! No limitation on how many contestants there will be or how many submissions a ship needs. I want this to be an opportunity for all to discover new fun and silly ships!

Closing date is april 8 at 10AM CET.

[tourneys-by-me]

We were specific… but now… we are multiple…

Welcome to the Multiple Elements Character Tournament!!

This is a tournament for characters who can use 2 or more elements!

Rules:

Remember, this is a tournament about fictional characters so please! be nice! I don’t want any hate or bigotry (racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, stuff like that) here.

No real people! That includes streamers and MCYT! I’m fine with most things but will ban certain characters/media depending on how much unnecessary discourse they will create and how much we can separate the art from the artist. So HP won’t be allowed if you want a metric.

You can submit as many characters as you want, but please submit them one form at a time.

Do NOT submit the same character over and over again!

Make sure you spell the name of the character and piece of media they are from correctly please.

The character doesn’t necessarily have to use magic to get in. A character could use a flame and water sword and they would still be eligible for the tournament.

Characters who are more proficient in one element are allowed, but the character has to use other elements somewhat frequently. The other elements shouldn’t be an afterthought essentially.

I will allow media if they have their own unconventional “elements" in. Elements that weren't necessarily featured in the last tournament (Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Electricity, Ice, Vegetation, Metals, Light, and Darkness). What I mean is that, yes, the fighting type from pokemon and almighty skills from megami tensei are considered as elements in this tournament.

That being said, power systems like the hunter x hunter nen system won’t count. This is because Nen is more like using different techniques not actual elements. While the aura types for nen are more like categorizations for a character’s abilities. It’s kinda like the quirk categorization (emitter, mutant, and transformation) in my hero academia for a more simple comparison.

The Demon Slayer breathing styles are NOT allowed! They’re not actually summoning elements, it’s a visual metaphor.

When it comes to Pokémon, they are allowed, but under specific circumstances. Either: their ability changes their type (protean, multi type, etc), have a wide and diverse move pool regarding types, if a pokemon is a dual type, and/or if a pokemon has a gimmick that meets the prior criteria (think the rotom forms or the ogerpon masks). I’m not including Terastallization as an excuse for any Pokémon who don’t meet the prior criteria because it feels like such a cop out using a gimmick, that most likely won’t appear in later gens, to include certain Pokémon.

Trainers from Pokémon are allowed! As long as the pokemon they use are diverse in their typing and/or fit any other criteria listed above.

I might add more rules later on if necessary.

Also, if you want a list of "unconventional elements" that I'd most likely allow, please look at the "Elements and Their Associated Powers And Traits" tab on the "Elemental Powers" TV Tropes page.

I made totally different form for pokemon due to how many submissions I anticipate to get from that franchise. So submit characters from pokemon to that form please.

I’m gonna try to shoot for a 128 character tournament, but idk how many characters from the same franchise will be allowed in. Probably around 2-5 characters depending on what the submissions are like.

Going to shut the forms down on April 6th or at around 700 submissions. The last tournament was 1,530 total submissions and that was a lot, so I’m going to cut this one down a bit.

Blogs I’m tagging under the cut (Not forcing y’all to reblog this post, I just want some fresh eyes on this tournament)

[gamercats-fight]

Hello, I have decided to make video game cats fight! The rules for submission are simple:

The cat must be from a video game.

I am not accepting in real life cats that are associated with video games, I want the cats from inside the game.

It can be any type of cat! Tigers, robo cats, and saber tooth tigers will count!

Submit one cat at a time, please!!

I am not sure how long the form will be up, depends on how quickly I get submissions.

Thank you for participating and have fun!!

[cringefaillosersummit]

it is finally time...

WELCOME TO THE PATHETIC WOMAN SHOWDOWN!

Y'all already know how it is. By popular vote, the next poll is Pathetic Woman Showdown! Got a female character that is really pathetic and cringefail? Absolutely a loser amongst women? Well perfect!

I shouldn't have to say this but just in case there are some TERFs or other pieces of shit here:

TRANS WOMEN ARE ALLOWED BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN AND IF YOU SAY SOMETHING ELSE I'M GOING TO BASH YOUR HEAD INTO CONCRETE AND I WOULD VERY MUCH ENJOY IT!!

Anyways now that that's out of the way:

Rules!

No Harry Potter/Vivziepop/DSMP/South Park characters!

Only nominate a character once. You can submit as many characters as you want.

No real people (unless it's really fucking funny)

Propaganda is absolutely allowed and definitely encouraged!

DO NOT SUBMIT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS:

Higashiyama Kobeni (Chainsaw Man)

Mitaka Asa (Chainsaw Man)

Ianthe Tridentarius (The Locked Tomb)

Britta Perry (Community)

These characters were already in the original poll so they're exempt from this one!

[sonicshipbattles]

Knock, knock it's Knuckles! And he's looking for love. The two things we know about our lone echidna from Angel Island is that his weakness is girls (he's a shy guy) and that he once asked his dad if he could be date men and his dad said no (Archie Comics - also, this is a comedic exaggeration of what actually happened, don't quote me). Clearly, this confused bisexual needs our help, which is why we've gathered here one more time to do another ship battles: this time for Knuckles ships Submit as many ships as you like - the more nominations we get, the bigger the bracket. Repeat nominations also help with seeding by showing the popular options, so please don't hesitate to submit ships you assume will have already been submitted SUBMIT YOUR SHIPS HERE:

Submission/tournament rules under read more:

Most importantly: BE NICE. No bashing of any ship will be welcomed. Use your propaganda to uplift your own ship, not put down others

Any Knuckles ships from any media is welcome - be it the games, comics, cartoons or anything else

Only ships including the character Knuckles the Echidna will be accepted (e.g. Knuckles/Blaze, Knuckles/Vector, etc.). Ships for other characters in the series that do not involve Knuckles (e.g. Tangle/Whisper, Dave/Meh Burger, etc.) may get their own tournaments later on. Submissions that do not follow this rule will be ignored

Submit as many ships as you want, but don't spam submit a single ship

No Knuckles x OC ships. All of your OCs are great and we wouldn't want anyone's feelings hurt by seeing them knocked out :( For the sake of this tournament, an OC is a fan-made character that has never been used nor was created to be used in licensed Sonic media (So yes, you can submit cancelled character ships if any of those apply to Knuckles)

We do accept crossover ships. Preferrably from series that Sonic has officially crossed over with. At the end of submissions there will be a week-long period in which crossover ships will be judged to see if they'll be included

Polycules are welcome

If you have a specific version of the ship that you like, specify what it is and this will be counted as separate to the general ship, e.g. Knuckles/Sonic (general) and Knuckles/Sonic (Boom) would be included as separate ships

Ships pairing Knuckles with younger characters like Cream or Charmy obviously won't be accepted. If a ship is submitted and I'm worried it might make waves, I'll run a poll to see if it should be included in the tournament or not

Also, just gonna put this out there: But Knuckles/Julie-Su and Knuckles/Rouge are acceptable ships for the tournament and I don't want anyone being weird about them. If you feel uncomfortable with them, then mute Knuxouge and KnuxSu

Submissions will be open until Sunday 24th September or until I feel we have enough to run a tournament

do you have a blorbo with an unwavering smile? do they sit in the peripheral without a single care? the world could literally be ending but they continue about their lives normally because they know they’ll be alright?

then welcome to the ✨guys with good vibes tournament ✨

here we invite our crouching moron hidden badasses, dudes that are totally content with their lives, or just anyone that is a paradigm of chill, to duke it out and find out who has the ~best vibes~

i am your host vie and i am excited to run my first championship on this site! please submit in the forms below and follow the rules there. note that i use “guys” as a gender neutral term, so guys who vibe may be any gender! polls will be open until i feel like i have enough for a bracket of 32. best of luck!

i am a biased man, and so here is an "early entry poll" for the guaranteed entry of one of the characters that inspired me to make this. please see that if you would like a better idea of what “guys with good vibes” mean. losers in this poll will only count as one submission from yours truly

[carmillatism]

i kind of want to make a poll for mechs fans to get like demographics as well as common thoughts and ideas about plots, characters, timeline, etc. i just think it would be very fun. i like information as well as just like. hearing people's thoughts. if i find a way, i will definitely share it with people. would any of y'all (my mooties) participate?

[quote-tournament]

Welcome to this new quote tournament!

Our theme is:

Out of a child's mouth

The rule is simple, you can submit whichever quote you like, as long as the person or character saying it is a child.

Basic decency applies, I reserve myself the right to keep out quotes I think are rude.

I will choose 64 participants, based on how well the rule is respected and how well you're selling this quote to me. You are allowed and encouraged to argue your case in the submission form.

Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children.

Ugly Outfits Tournament - Submission Form

Welcome to the Ugly Outfits of One Piece tournament, where we decide who - you guessed it - wears the ugliest outfit of One Piece!

Before you submit any outfits, please read the rules.

Rules

You can submit multiple outfits, but use a new submission for each of them, even if they are worn by the same character.

Outfits from all official art is allowed (including openings, covers, live-action, games, etc), but my preference goes to in-story outfits.

Manga spoilers are allowed this one time, but please put a spoiler warning at the start of the propaganda!

Since this is about very specific outfits, you have to provide a picture of the outfit. If you can't copy-paste a link at the moment you submit them, you can send them through asks or direct message (but asks are prefered). In that case, put a 'I will send you one' on the form. Submissions without any picture will be ignored.

Please use the characters full name (no epithet) on the form, to make it easier for me to sort them. Sanji's full name is 'Sanji', in case you were in doubt.

Please clearly specify where the outfit is from (name of the arc, or game, chapter/episode number (if from a specific chapter/episode instead of arc) number of the color spread or cover, number or name of the opening, etc.)

If you have any questions, you can always send an ask or a DM.

Did you read all the above rules? Yes. Good, then you can click here for the submission form.

I will keep the submission form open for a while. I will let you know in advance when I have a closing date. (probably when I get a little more sleep 😅)

Since I think most outfits will only get a single submission, they will probably all make it in (I might make prelims, I'm not sure yet). Unless there are a lot of submissions and a lot of duplicates, but we'll see about that then.

Most important is to have fun and realize that people have very different tastes! Propaganda as well as anti-propaganda (once the polls are up) is very much encouraged!

Unpopular (Complimentary) Ship Submission Form

What is an unpopular ship?

We're defining it here as a ship that is small on the scale of the wider fandom ecosystem. It's any ship where you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of content. It does NOT refer to popularity within the fandom itself. For example, Tuggoffelees is by the far the most popular ship in Cats fandom, but since there are only about 15 people in Cats fandom, that still counts as unpopular.

Other than that: look into your heart. You know if a ship is unpopular or not. Let the truth flow through you.

Also, please don't use acronyms! Assume that I know nothing about anything.

Masterpost for the last bracket can be found here

[vintagestagehotties]

FAQ

Welcome to the vintage theatre showdown! The Vintage Theatre Actress Tournament to determine the hotness of vintage theatre ladies will begin Saturday, April 13. Submissions are currently closed! Hot male actors will come soon, but I’m in a ladies mood at the moment.

Can I currently submit hot ladies?

Submissions are now closed. Round 2 of the tournament will begin on May 4th!

How long will round 2 last?

A little less than two weeks! It will begin on May 4th, have roughly 10-11 polls per day over the course of five days, and closes voting a week after the last poll is posted

What are the criteria for contestants?

Your hot lady must:

Have a significant theatre career - ie, more than two theatre credits to her name, have played leading or featured roles, won awards, etc.

Have had a decent chunk of their career take place pre-70s (if they made their stage debut in an ensemble in 1969 but then became famous in years to come, I’m not counting it)

Exceptions to the above will be accepted at my discretion - for example, maybe she only played one or two shows but earned a Tony Award. To take into account the racism of past theatre, exceptions will be made nearly always for the sake of inclusivity and diversity

What counts as theatre?

I am accepting performers from plays, musicals, revues, and operas. Other types of stage performers (for example, comedians and ballerinas) will be accepted on a case by case basis, provided a case could be made that their stage career involved a degree of acting. I’m accepting Broadway, West End, worldwide productions, tours, even regional theatre counts!

What counts as vintage?

The timeline to be considered vintage for this tournament is 1900-1969. A lady can have a significant chunk of her career post 1970 or in the 19th century, but at least some of it has to be within this time frame.

Can I submit propaganda?

Yes! You can send propaganda to my asks or submissions, or you can tag me in reblogs or posts. However, I won’t be posting or reblogging any propaganda until the tournament starts except the posts I have queued to lead up to the tournament’s beginning.

What tags do you track?

I track the tags #vintagestagehotties and #vintagestagepoll

The #vintagestagepoll will be the tag for all of the polls, while #vintagestagehotties is for anything relating to the tournament

Why did you use this photo/propaganda/etc…?

Propaganda is entirely submitted. I try to remain as impartial as possible and will simply post the propaganda that is submitted to me, however I will not use negative propaganda.

If you dislike the photo used for an actress, send me an alternative and I’ll see what I can do!

How will the pairs be selected?

For round 1, depending on how many ladies end up making the cut, I’ll probably pit similar decades against each other and then be more random in following rounds.

There is a lot of overlap between theatre stars and film stars, and a great many major vintage film stars had successful theatre careers as well. So, in order to avoid the last rounds turning into a hot movie star competition, round 1 will see the incredibly famous movie stars pitted against each other. This is in the spirit of fairness to give lesser known actresses with only theatre careers more of a fighting chance.

Will there be future polls?

Yes! I do plan to do a poll for vintage stage men as well, plus I have a few others planned - vintage women in STEM is pretty definite, and I’m tossing around the idea of a silent film star poll, a vintage ballerina poll, a femme fatale poll, and a poll just for vintage opera stars. And to be honest there’s enough vintage stage women in the world that I could easily do a second tournament for them!

Edit, clearly I HAVE to do a Peter Pan actress poll in the very near future
