We conquered the land with the Best Fictional (non-avian) Dinosaur, the skies with the Best Fictional Pterosaur, so that leaves us with one final (earthly) frontier to conquer! So, I introduce you all our next, massive tournament...

The Best Fictional Marine Reptile Tournament, also known as the Mariment!

Yes, I know it's not my best name, but when you start with Saurnament you can only go downhill.

Anyway, this tournament is a bit more complicated than the past few! It will feature, of course, fictional marine reptiles! This is a fairly broad category though, and for the first time on this blog, will feature candidates based off of extant animals!

As for the brackets... I don't really know yet. There will probably be 2 or 3, but there's such a diverse pool (heh) of candidates that grouping them is probably going to get fairly arbitrary, especially since I envision there being 128 per bracket.

So when submissions open I will keep track of different classifications and then do my best to group them in an efficient way. Worst case scenario, we will just do brackets A B and C (and D? and E? idk), which are just arbitrarily divided.

Anyway, as with before, if you want to participate, don't do anything other than tell your friends! Submissions will open uh, eventually, and the polls will begin... well some time after that. Sorry, I have a forced family trip coming up and just need to determine how to place this tournament with regard to that. But yeah, stay tuned!

@tournament-announcer I didn't forget you this time!

Mad Scientist Showdown!

Hiya there, and welcome to the Mad Scientist Showdown!

Submissions Rules:

Shouldn't be a problem, but no Harry Potter!

Also, no real people! However, exceptions will be made to things like MCYT or Sanders Sides where it's just a character

I mention it on the form, but PLEASE capitalize names correctly and don't add thing's like 'Dr.' This is to help keep track what characters have multiple submission's. There is a question on the form that concerns the Dr. Thing though

Character's with 3 submissions or more get automatic entry. Character's with 2 submissions or only 1 will only get entry if there is propaganda, so PLEASE write propaganda

If your character's from a book or podcast, please link the cover of book/podcast or (if from a book) a screenshot from an adaptation

Submissions close on June 1st

Petrie [The Land Before Time] vs. Swoop [Beanie Babies]

Propaganda (if any) under the cut! Please be civil, and feel free to reblog!

Propaganda for Petrie [The Land Before Time]:

"he's a silly little guy <3" "has a "snuggling stick" to keep him calm in scary situations has an imaginary friend who is a theropod dinosaur with no teeth sometimes bullied by his siblings for his clumsiness and anxiety :( vegetarian, only seen eating plants in the series despite pteranodons eating fish in reality"

Propaganda for Swoop [Beanie Babies]:

"Propaganda for Swoop (Beanie Babies): very soft, very friend. Please read the poem found on his tag to understand how sweet he is: "Gliding through the summer sky Looking low and looking high Now I think my quest can end Ive found you, my special friend!""

WARNING THIS POLL CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING GAMES: No More Heroes

Quote 1: "Don’t get cocky, you little shit!" - Malos, Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Quote 2: "You're the protagonist, I'm just the cool, handsome foil, who happens to be your twin brother, hate to say it, but it's YOUR job." - Henry Cooldown, No More Heroes

Propaganda under cut

Quote 1: The fact that a T rated, Nintendo game, whose previous game didn’t have much “bad” cursing, has the main villain call the protagonist a “little shit” made my jaw drop when I first heard it.

Quote 2: This is the same character that canonically starts a cult because he saw Thor 2011 and kinned Loki so strongly he changed his entire appearance and voice accordingly. This is NOT a joke. This is legitimately what makes him lose his mind.

Mod Note (magically transcribed onto the wall in crayon): This is legitimately one of my favourite propaganda EVER. WHAT DO YOU MEAN @akirakurususwife WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[tourneys-by-me]

WARNING THIS POLL CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING GAMES: Professor Layton

Quote 1: "I'm escaping to the ONE place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... SPACE!" - Anatoly Cherdenko, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3

Quote 2: "My name is Jean Descole! I am an artistic man of science, with rather lofty goals." - Jean Descole, Professor Layton

Propaganda under cut

Quote 1: "The quote on it's own is a banger, but Tim Curry's delivery of it whilst trying not to laugh elevates it to one of the best performances in gaming history." - Submission 1

"Please please please! Look up the cutscene from where the quote comes from! It’s so fucking funny and Tim Curry (the guy who plays Premier Anatoly Cherdenko) is trying so hard to not laugh that it makes it even more funny" - Submission 2

Mod Villain Note: Here is the legendary cutscene

Quote 2: My bbgirlllllll He's soooooooo silly and fun and full of issues

@layton-heritage-posts WELCOME BACK TO THE TOURNAMENT!!!!

WARNING THIS POLL CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING GAMES: Final Fantasy Tactics, Horizon Forbidden West

Quote 1: "Don't blame us. Blame yourself, or God." - Delita Heiral, Final Fantasy Tactics

Quote 2: "Sticks and stones against the lightning!" - Tilda van der Meer, Horizon Forbidden West

Propaganda under cut

Quote 1: While the psp remake has the better script/localization, for this line the ps1 localization just has more “punch” to it. It really shows the start of Delita’s cruel ambition.

Quote 2: (Spoilers for both Horizon games) POV Aloy: The toxic lesbian situationship partner of your mom/clone template is attacking you with a mech and all you have are bows and arrows. Tilda is still not over her ex after like 1000 years and she is making that everyone elses problem. She is voiced by Carrie-Anne Moss who is doing an amazing job. You can hear the quote in this video at 1:42

[tourneys-by-me]

WARNING THIS POLL CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FOLLOWING GAMES: Umineko: When They Cry

Quote 1: "A merciful leader may grant a second chance. Only a fool allows a third." - Rudolf, Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia

Quote 2: "And let me also say this. You are incompetent!" - Beatrice, Umineko: When They Cry

Propaganda under cut

Quote 1: This line absolutely shatters Berkut’s (Rudolf’s nephew) pride into tiny fragments and honestly Berkut needed that. Also this line goes hard as hell.

Quote 2: red truth is a mechanic in umineko where anything spoken in red is guaranteed to be the truth. it's introduced as a way of stopping stalemates in the "witch culprit or human culprit" debate, but they're also important clues and guidelines for the reader to figure out the mystery. and this one confirms that the protagonist, Ushiromiya Battler, is incompetent.

Hiya everyone!!!

We're back in business!!! I know its been a while since I actually did stuff on here related to the actual purpose of this account but I'm back and I'm so ready to do this. I'm not going to give an explanation as to why I took a break as frankly it doesn't matter but just know im back and I'm so excited to do this again.

Now, what do we do about the villain quotes polls? Honestly, I DO NOT want to try and pick up where we left off cause 1) I don't want to go back and figure out how to do that and 2) it feels like I would be cheating people if I didn't give everyone the chance to resubmit as I know a lot of good games have come out since the old bracket. So, we are redoing the season! You can submit your quotes here!

Hmmm I feel like I'm forgetting something important that happened during last season...Oh well I'm sure it will come back to me! Have a great day!

hey I wonder where this trapdoor goes

I think I’m going to retire this blog

Hey everyone! I’m making this post because I don’t wanna keep you all in the dark on my feelings.

Basically, I’m burnt out on this blog and I wanna do other things.

I’m getting tired making polls for characters and franchises that I don’t know/care for. I also want to focus more on developing my art skills so I want more time to do that. It sucks feeling like this because I have so many ideas for tournaments but I don’t want to crash and burn and drop a tournament at like round 2.

I might come back to this blog sometime in the future but don’t hold your breath.

Also here’s a list of tournament ideas I’ve thought up just in case someone wants to start a tournament. I’m also willing to give tips if you’re new to tournament making, just DM me.

Anyways hope you all understand and have a great day Elementors!
