Title: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: PyrasTerran on Dec 06, 2016, 06:06 PM
A peek into how the staff operates: we like to plan out the next year's list of official tournaments ahead of time, it's easy to manage and schedule and lets us help set up non-official tournaments and events that members want to host.

We are now in talks about possible tournaments for 2017 and are interested in what ideas excite the members. We've learned alot so far from the discord chat mini surveys, and would like to see some of the opinions recorded here for reference.

We try to see about making at most 3 tournaments/events for the year

For your reference:

1) The most popular idea being looked into is a collaboration-style tournament (two artists join forces). The three main ideas being bounced are standard tag team tournament, a scar tag team tournament, and a lovechild (offspring from two existing characters) death tournament.

2) other ideas being discussed include:
-Scar Healing Tournament (each round is scar matches, winner erases all scars they wish),
-King of Hell (underworld/afterlife-themed annihilation tournament or battle royale, open to new and dead characters)
-Master of Disaster (post apocalypse-themed multi-round battle royale, disaster is different each time this event is held, last time was nuclear winter)
-Armageddon 2017 (6 characters vs. an armageddon threat, handled by one or more veteran artists)
-Light Speed Death Tournament: Multiverse (each round has a different theme, for example: space, pirates, gender bent, etc.)

3) Previous tournaments that might be of interest with a return:
-King of the Monsters (different from monster mash in that it's giant monsters oriented)
-All Together Now (Artist uses 2 of their own characters, alive or dead)
-Under New Management (Artists use a character that is not theirs)

4) This is not a list of forced choices out of your control; if you happen to have tournament ideas you're more than welcome to share them here. Even if they don't get the traction to become official, you might find enough fans to make an unofficial event, of which there are many (Miller Death Tournament, Ragnarock, Game Night, Election, etc.)

One thing I say get played around with a lot in the chat was a TV Show/Movie themed toruney. One way it might work out is there is a set genre for the TV Show or Movie of someone's choice then fit their character's into that world/a certain scene. For example, the theme could be si-fi and be open to any and all si-fi.

Another idea I saw passed around was along the same lines but, themed around Video Games or Esports. Same basic jist.

A final one I just thought up might be Sports in genearl where the two are in some sort of sport and are trying to win the Cup or the championship or something like that!

I'm personally partial to either a standard or scar-oriented tag team tournament, a Love Child tourney, all-together now, or an Armageddon!
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: E.W. Schneider on Dec 06, 2016, 06:59 PM
I like Tag Tournament. I don't really want to do a Scar Tag Tournament? I guess if demand is there, go nuts.

I would love a Tag Death Tournament, but not Love Child because I would rather make two fresh characters that can be incorporated into the world at large as opposed to sharing some character to do with this.

Scar Healing Tournament is certainly an option after Scarmageddon now, but I don't really have any character that would take advantage of that nor do I think I'd enter it. I like Andre's scars.

King of Hell could be fun, but it'd really just be new characters and I don't know how many would show up for it. No revival option makes it sort of unattractive.

Master of Disaster I've never liked at all. I think the format of 4 for all and then 1 on 1 finale is weird.

Armageddon 2017 if you've got the threat in place, go for it. Later though.

Light Speed Death Tournament: Multiverse, I really don't like the theme. Either drop the Light Speed aspect or the Multiverse theme for me. The theme seems like it'd botch up any story-telling, especially within the confines of the 3 page limit hard limit. I don't think it can be done well. We're already tightly focused within these 3 pages on the characters at hand, we don't need someone throwing in pirates or cowboys as a randomized feature into the mix each round, because it will only detract from the laser-tight focus this tournament requires in composition and creation for each comic. I would say separate the two and make either a Multiverse Tournament with the theme going on or a Light Speed Death Tournament (or Speed Death Tournament) and go from there.

King of the Monsters I'm not really hot on for themes. I'd rather have Sentai show back up.

I'm just as happy to have my baby All-Together Now! come back and it sounds great, but not for the next event. I think we need a death tournament before that so that it can be taken advantage of by a wider variety of people.

Under New Management I'm also tepid on. I'm sure it'd be fine, but if it does happen, someone needs to make sure that people aren't fighting their own characters round one.

Here's my suggestion.
The Original Character Tournament.

It's a themed Speed Death Tournament where you take your old original characters. Older the better. Give us an example of them if you can and redraw them and take them on the road. Example, here's a way old character that I made up from 2005. (http://orig15.deviantart.net/ffe6/f/2015/285/c/d/regret_by_unscrewed_by_roflqu-d9cx7oq.jpg)

And now, I've redrawn him for a modern and flashy death tournament, oooh and ahhh!  (http://orig06.deviantart.net/3f34/f/2015/221/b/4/regret_by_roflqu-d94zqv6.png) Become an archeologist and find buried treasure. Or maybe a plumber depending on how fond you are of your past works/mistakes. Give them redemption, a chance to shine again!

Some time late next year I'd be down as fuck for a regular old Light Speed Death Tournament.

I think someone in the discord mentioned an AU Tournament. Like, I'd be totally down for a non-canonical/mildly-canonical tournament where like "It's ancient Japan" or "It's Atlantis" or something like that.

So like a Tabletop RPG Battle Royale. Everyones characters pretending to be some version of themselves with other folk in the mix.

On that same AU theme, there's also Void City High School Tournament. Everyone's there high-school version of themselves. Shenanigans ensue.

You can always bring back Wacky Races.

"It's Only A Dream" Tournament. The anything-is-possible-and-nothing-matters tournament. Characters cross over in their dreams and do stuff. The winner gets the title "The Dreamiest".

The Good Samaritan Tournament. Since everyone always fucks everything up; let's try and fix it.

Minigeddon. Like Armageddon, but with a smaller threat, less time, and fresher faces.

I will defend Lovechild tournament to the death and i will campaign for it to my dying day BUT I do like Rofl's Original Character Touney, as someone who recently dug up some monster girl characters i invented when i was eight.
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: mortooncian on Dec 06, 2016, 07:44 PM
I'm partial to Tag Team, and I'm game for either Love Child or regular ol' TTT!

I don't wanna suggest a theme that's too limiting, just because in regular tournaments some people had themes by choice (for example, Jetster's boarding school AU, and Wizzie's Sunset City trip). If everyone had to write about game shows, it could get really boring, really quickly (and I admit this, as the person who suggested cooking show on Discord)

ALSO if anything, I suggest a TTT before Arma-- to give people who sign up a good way to gauge if they're up for collaborative writing (because collabs dont agree with everyone. Better to figure out now, rather than Arma...)

All Together Now would be interesting, too, but with the influx of new members, a lot have only one character, I agree with Rofl in that it kinda cuts off a lot of the new kids.

I don't really like LSDT having different theme each round, just in case someone has an ongoing story in their LSDT. LSDTs are hard enough with being 1-3 pages, don't need to kill people further lmao

In the end tho, I'd die to be able to collab with Evi, so I'm biased towards TTT

EDIT: Maybe a prize for winning TTT could be two spots in the next Arma. Clearly, the winners are good at collaborative comics, diligent, and well, good at comics. Plus, impetus to really shine, to be part of the biggest comic event the site has!
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: Nana-Banana on Dec 06, 2016, 08:28 PM
Ok so, as suggested I'll just put down the rundown of what we gathered (and if I forgot or wrote something incorrect just feel free to correct me) for a potential Newbie+Veteran Tourney:

As the name somewhat implies it was suggested that a potential tourney be based around a Newbie and a Veteran member of the site being paired together. Several points were made that, possibly, one of the best options would be to go over the cheevo list that determines who falls under what catergory. A thought was made about how long a character has been out but, with many experienced artist entering new characters, it was mostly decided against. Another suggestion was going off of amount of comics however this was also dropped as even some veteran artist don't have enough comics to make a gap. It sounds like another idea for a Tag Team Tournament which seems like a popular idea going around right now.

It seems like people would also like this to possibly happen around Inivitational time so that new members can feel engaged even if they don't continue with the tournament. It is just a suggestion after all so the communitty and mods can do with it what they like!
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: Rikun on Dec 06, 2016, 08:33 PM
I'm personally all for bringing back another Tag Tourney! It'd be super cool to see the team ups that could happen as a result!

I'm also all for Petavee's suggestion for a Mini-geddon a la a more localized disaster that doesn't decimate the city, but affects the characters who live there. Maybe Murphy's Law decides to use the Moonstones in Chinatown while the rest of Void sits pretty? Maybe it's a threat that the smaller guys would have to deal with that the heavy hitters in Void wouldn't even notice.

And perhaps we could also have a survival island event? Imagine if we had a couple of characters who win a tropical vacation, only to be unceremoniously dropped on an island with survival tools and maybe a prompt to "battle to the death"? However instead of a death tourney, it could be a co-op where the characters have the option to work together and escape the island, subverting all Hunger Games/Battle Royale expectations!

I'd like to have a regular TTT (with maybe some minor theme, but with existing characters) - I liked Thren's arma suggestion alongside it but suppose that then depends if winners are available for arma whenever we have one (or maybe if they can't participate themselves they have the power to nominate). But yeah for me just regular TTT would be good for me.

I would like to see an an All Together Now, but as I only have one "living" character id be unable to participate myself.

The All Together Now! Tournament was created with this in mind and I designed it so that people can use dead characters for it. It was originally a replacement for the Month of the Dead for a year, but the point of it was more that your characters are teaming up. To that end, some people only have a living and dead character, only dead characters, so it was done that a team of living and/or dead could be made up in any combination. You'd be certainly able to participate unless the tournament happens to change and deviates from its original design.

i know its not super fair to folk with only 1 dude but if i dont get my lovechild tourney (which btw is just an AU non canon theme for a tag team death tourney it dont gotta be canon ships fyi) then All Together Now is my second fav but i dont mind doing it after a death tourney if new kids wanna kill a dude first then play with them again for a new tourney later in the spring or summer

In that case - I wouldn't mind one at all for next year! Nana Perdi and Wizzie would be hilarious - thanks for that info Rofl I didn't know!

Stating my interest in:
- Original Character Tournament
- All Together Now
- Tag Death
- Toon Death Tournament
Lightspeed was super fun, but I'd like there to be at least one regular death tournament since I haven't gotten to pop into one of those yet.

And as a suggestion (which may have already been made, if it was I didn't see) an Artist Battle Tournament. Each round has some kind of prompt or theme or comic genre or even just a word to go off of, and people do whatever with it without using their Void characters.

Lots of cool ideas are being tossed in here

Remember that even after we decide on the official events for the year, most of these ideas can still happen unofficially. Simply find enough members as enthusiastic as you are about it and you can message the staff directly with your idea.

Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: Sean on Dec 08, 2016, 10:25 AM
Here are my current thoughts on the suggested tournaments above:

Tag Tournaments are awesome. I would love to work and collaborate with another artist. However, I am not partial to a death tag tournament or the specific lovechild theme. I think if we were to do the lovechild tournament it shouldn't be specially lovechild, it should be collaborating with another artist on a brand new character and entering them. If ya'll want to do your love children from the art jam then go for it, but I think it would be better suited as an open theme to co-creating a character.

Scar healing is an interesting theme. I'm on the fence about it. If executed correctly I feel like this could be a strong tournament.

King of Hell is basically Ragnarok minus the "god" theme. I'm not a big fan of it, but I do want see more annihilation matches.

Master of Disaster is basically every day in Void. I don't think its necessary.

I, 100%, back the idea of a new Armageddon! I think it's about time we saw a deadly threat come into the city and fucking ruin everything again. However, I think we should take petavee's idea of the Mini Arma and incorporate that. Doing something along the lines of 2008's Battle Royale/Royale Rumble where a group of veterans and novice members were put into separate, but on-going events. This way we could have two threats and twice the participation as we usually do. As if, the threat for the mini arma was a subordinate of the threat in Armageddon.

Now, I truly love the LSDT. I just don't think it can work with a theme such as this. It's about hectic speed and brutal deadlines. Creating a theme that changes with every round would just suck the authenticity out of the original idea behind the tournament. I think we should put the LSDT on the back burner for a year or two, and come back with a good ol' fashion Speed Death Tournament.

King Of Monsters would be super rad. I wanted to join it the first year it was introduced, but I never got around to submitting an idea. I do think it would work best as a death tournament though.

All Together Now would be super interesting and fun. I'd love to team up the likes of Dale or Margot with Harvey. I think we would need to have a Speed Death Tournament before introducing this idea so newer members with only one character can participate. After the invitational, we've had an array of new members and I'd love to not totally exclude them in this.

Under New Management also sounds like a fucking blast, just as long as you don't end up fighting your own character until the last round of the tournament.

I think a resurrection tournament is to soon. We should wait a bit longer before we revive it. haha get it? BRING IT BACK?! REVIVE IT! ... because you know, resurrection...

This Original Character tournament sounds fun. I know Rolfqu brought it up previously with me and I started digging through horrible art I made back in middle school. I think it would be fun revamping old cheesy characters and using what we've learned here to make them interesting again.

Newbie/Veteren Tournament was a great idea, but it wasn't executed in proper time. It should of been done immediately following the invitational.

Toon Death Tournament.... I hate toons. hahahaha. No, but really, it could fun. Not my cup of tea though.

In conclusion, these are my opinions about possible tournaments and ideas for the future. Whatever the outcome in the next year, let's try and draw more comics!

Hey guys, ya boy Rene here(i dont have a cool username like all of you :( )

i think the love child tagteam collab is pretty cool, even if its noncanon

i am really digging the Artist tourney idea from KarmaLarma, we can go crazy with that!

The Good Samaritan Tournament from petarvee is a pretty good idea considering all the city ending events that happen every week

The Mini-geddon is a hella good idea, its like the Armageddon Tourney is the Marvel Cinamatic Universe and the mini-geddon is the Marvel Netflix shows, the best of both worlds. I don't know, i see my character as small-time dude who participate in a Netflix show instead of the Big Movies, same universe just not to much interactive.

Rikun gave a good idea with the murphys law moonstone plan, make a mini-geddon with the moonstones and have everyone deal with it, not a city ending, but stories on how everyone is affected by it in some way. Maybe this can motivate the newer members to take part in a huge event without it actually feeling huge and overwhelming.

I'm always down for a TTT and not just because I can finally make good on my Tag Team Marriage with TDK (I won him fair and square dammit). We are well due for one and I think its a perfect time considering most people who do the Holiday comics also collab. TIME TO TEST YOUR BONDS

I would personally prefer a plain ole TTT but I think a Newbie/Veteran team up would be great (even if it means i lose TDK QQ) so that newbies can get a taste of competitive collabing so they have a point of reference for Arma (if it happens).

EDIT: I'm also a bit against a theme being used, unless the theme was open ended like Monster Mash. I'd rather not have 12+ people do a comic about a cooking show (or with the moonstones), especially if 10 of those people aren't super into the idea if its sprung on em. Let the personal creativity flooooow

I think a 'Redraw that battle' tournament would be an interesting concept, though I know it would be hard to do in a battle sense since the opponents have to be present in the comics. I thought it would work kinda like those "draw it again" post on dA that people do where you simply take an old comic and recreate it/redraw it/change the direction etc. where you could, potentially, have your opponent take place. I'm not too sure if there's anything outside the forums to showcase the improvement of people (other than just looking at their past comics) but, this could be a fun way to also help with the most improved award that I remembered seeing at one point on the site.
Title: Re: DISCUSSION: Tournaments of 2017
Post by: JCee on Dec 27, 2016, 04:07 PM
Sounds interesting, but I'd rather keep the 'Redraw that' to an art jam over an actual battle. I've a lot of battles I wouldn't mind redoing, but not as a tourney for sure.

And where did you spot the 'Most Improved Award'? I don't think I recall seeing one anywhere, unless I'm blind as a bat.

2017 is already under tow, but I'm gonna pitch these for future consideration:

-Magical Gore Fest-- Death Tournament OR Scarmageddon.  Submit/create a magical girl to participate.  Definition of "magical girl" can be as broad as you want.

-Tijuana Bible Collection-- Smut tournament executed in the stylistics of Tijuana Bibles: entries must contain no more than 8 panels.  Participants can create or submit a character to participate with; anything goes as long as the content is intended to be erotic.  Rounds are labeled as issues or volumes.

Works like a speed death tournament (without the death), but there has to be some sort of romance between your and your opponent's character. Nothing has to be canon, of course.

A couple people have suggested porn tourneys, but this would provide something more inclusive for people who like shipping but don't want to draw porn, as well as people who do.

Rebirth of the sentai

a ressurection tournament centered on Super Sentai characters

Rise of the mass

a speed death tournament centered on ordinary folks with no superpowers at all

Genesis

A speed death tournament centered around the scouts of Aliens species or hidden civilisations attempting to invade/Immigrate on Earth.

EverEnd

a resurrection tournament centered around Monsters. (not humanoid ones)

Oh, if we're throwing more ideas out then here's one maybe for next year:

Whether it's fluff or smut, it'd be fun to draw some non-canon stuff XD

You.
I like you.


Also, the idea of a Speed (Crack)Shipping Tournament sounds fantastic. Fluff and/or Smut. I'm in.

I'm super for the idea of a speed crack shipping tournament. For obvious reasons, I'd prefer it to not be smut?

lol
the way I'm imagining it is that the "romance" part would be a little bit up for interpretation. Like, one contestant could be doing all-out smut while another is doing Jane Austen -esque Victorian romance. No kissing required.

I suppose we could state wether we're alright with having our character being in fluff, and/or smut at the start of the Tourney.
Obvioulsy the fastest way would be to just go "WELL, DON'T ENTER THE TOURNEY IF YOU DON'T WANT DICKS/VAGS"
But. I feel the point of crackshipping is that everyone has a good time?

Mmm. Just adding ideas to the table.

There's lots of interesting ideas coming out here, even though many of them we the staff may not pursue ourselves on basis of policy, keep in mind that you are perfectly able to run any of these tournament ideas yourself as unofficial events, just like 2016's Spooky Scarmageddon and Ragnarock

Just give us a heads up and we can work on scheduling, and we can handle setting up the battles for you

I don't think there's been anything like it, probably because it seems like it'd be hard to pull off, but what about a big team battle? For example with Fred's suggestion of merging Kaiju/Sentai from whenever that was (just read the comment and forgot to check the timestamp lmao) why not have a team  of 3-4 sentai, and 3-4 Kaiju.  Throw the Kaiju against the sentai and fight until only one side remains.

As an example, if all four kaiju kill the sentai in round 1, the kaiju all live.  If the kaiju and sentai kill each other off until there's only one of each, the winner of that match lives.

basically the survivors from the first round go on to fight their enemies and avenge their allies.  It could also be cool to switch up the rounds and go from 1v1 battles to a 2v2, or even if only 1 member is left after one of the rounds, they fight the remaining members of the opposite team in a last-ditch mini-arma style 1 vs the world showdown.

Are Master of Disaster Deathmatches?
I mean, duh, I guess.
I just wanted to confirm, because the concept sounds nice and very attractive, but it's highly unlikely I would participate if there is a risk of my character dying. ^^;

We had two! One was Marooned (Being of three (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic;id=2348) Battles (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic;id=2347) in total (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic;id=2394)), and the last one we had was Nuclear (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic;id=4875) Winter (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic&id=4876) (Also three (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic;id=4903)!)
It's basically a themed Battle royale. Anything can happen, but your characters aren't at risk of being scarred or dead
