You're seated at the precipice of greatness! The Princesses are now pretty, the Tags have been teamed, and all that stands between you and glory is . . .
SCARMAGEDDON II: THE SCARQUEL
What is this scarbulous thing?
An old idea first run by myself and Qyzex, Scarmageddon is an all-inclusive scar match single-round tournament, and yes, this means you can enter. Everyone who applies is in the tournament. Scarmageddon does not discriminate!
I’m a limp-wristed 50 lb weakling who is scared of scars!
Better not enter then! While the original had an “off-limits” scar list, this one will not. Just like you would expect death in a Speed Death Tournament, expect scars in Scarmageddon! If you enter and are unhappy with the results, its all on you!
I’m a big strong brave (wo)man who routinely chews nails, tell me more!
That’s the spirit! The tournament will begin on September 1st! To enter, simply sign up in the thread with your character of choice. The tournament will last for 5 weeks, with the drawing period ending on October 6th. So unlike the previous Prettiest Princess Tournament, this will only be one round. There will not be multiple rounds to this, so do your story right the first time!
People will be broken off into groups of 5 – 6. If there are leftovers, we will do our best to accommodate. This could potentially result in groups of 4 (but you’re tough stuff and can roll with the punches!). The losers are ultimately scarred by the winner of each group.
However! It is worth mentioning that some of our previous participants took the scars that all of the other artists gave their character. Some artists even scarred their own characters! That is completely up to your discretion (but is a ton of fun!).
Do I have to scar everything?
As all other scar matches, you must scar everyone. Prepare for a battle, you need to showcase all characters and scar all characters involved in your group.
We can't be any clearer on this, because even if it's a small scar, something needs to change from beginning to end. If you can accomplish this, you're golden! Otherwise, you're disqualified. So don't be disqualified! Be golden!
So what kind of battle is this again?
It's you against however many people is in your group. You're not working together, you're scar matching them.
Can I make a new character?
If you want to, that's entirely up to you. You have until the end of sign up to get them in the site. If you do that, then great, you're in.
And if I lose?
Then your character will be listed as 'Inactive' until you alter your design sheet to reflect the scar you gained from the winner of your bracket.
Holy Cicatrices! I can’t not join this!
Then get ready to get cut! You have until August 31st to join!
SO SIGN UP WHY DON’T YA!

*Fix your design sheet.

SLAMS THE TABLE
PUT ME DOWN WITH JOHNNY
-
I'll sign up with Gwen+Regi before I chicken out...!
-
I hope everyone is thinking about their personal schedules carefully! Remember that if you don't finish and don't include scars for ALL of your opponents, that's a default. So think carefully because this is not a comic you want to be defaulting on haha.
GOOD LUCK, BRAVE SOULS.
-
Are we allowed to place that "I'd rather <insert character> didn't lose a limb but anything else is cool? Like in normal scar matches or is this more NOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN MOTHERFUCKER.
-

You can, but I wouldn't count on it. I'm not saying everyone involved in this production is a bastardman, but you never know. Scar matches on the site are always an honor system sort of thing. That being said, if you did join, there's nothing stopping whatever group you end up with of taking some kind of pact to not scar specific things.
Otherwise, you'll probably get what you'll get. We're not going to police this nor are we going to act as intermediates on anything. If you join up, its on you, not us. Scar matches won't be cancelled because of someone being soured over their decision to join Scarmageddon.
If you need a safer decision, then submit a new character. There is nearly a full 2 weeks until the tournament begins, plenty of time to bring in a new character to utilize for Scarmageddon.
-
Yeah, safe to say if you're in an event specifically for scars, you probably don't get much choice over what you get.
-
Yeah thought that'd be the case! Thanks for clearing that one up - ill have to check my schedule.
-
HNNNGH, ok, bruised and battered Cornelius (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=character%3bid=2093) is in it to scar it up! Straight into the fire
-
I need to fix THE BEAST's design sheet, but count me in.
The BenT One signing up with THE BEAST OF VOID (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=character%3bid=2056).
-
AAAAAHHHHH!
The chance to disfigure 5 people in one go, If I only had the time!
-
I might just have to shirk my VOID 6.0 duties so I can get Ancelin in on this!
-
If you make a DOUBLE SCARMAGEDDON next time and have the time I will totally enter.
-
As luck would have it, I won't have a job in September! Which means I'll totally be free to do this. I'm going to try and get a new character in before it starts, but failing that, I'll throw Amelia and Lucas into the ring.
-
what thats so soon aw man I'm still gonna be in the desert September 1st. I will have to wait for the next scarmageddon. but I cant wait to read all about how everyone gets the horrible disfigurements we'll all end up having to draw from now on lol!
-
Throwing Nyasuu into scarrmaggedon? Sure why the hell not.
-
AAAAAHHHHH!
The chance to disfigure 5 people in one go, If I only had the time!
My thoughts exactly~ good luck all!
Edito: Nyasuu too? OH HEYELL YES :p
-
I'm not sure I understand the rules -
There is going to be one round, lasting 5 weeks, multiple groups (consting of 4+ characters)? Resulting into multiple winners?
-
Each group will have its own winner, yes. Also, check out the last Scarmaggedon over here: http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=comic%3bid=2674
If you haven't seen it yet, it is mindbogglingly cool.

TOURNAMENT!! *squeeeal*
Sooooo... can I whip up a character for this, or is it only for the coooool people who already have a (living) character on the site?
-

Yes. There is no title to win in Scarmageddon, so there will certainly be multiple winners.
TOURNAMENT!! *squeeeal*

If you get a character in time, you're more than welcome to join.

MR AWESOME

Yay! Do I have to make a "complete submission", ie. backstory and all that or can I just submit a character especially for this tournament (and then kill him off without remorse afterwards, per usual)?

You need a complete submission. If you happen to get your submission completed in time, you can enter with that character. We will be reviewing it just like any other normal submission, so if you plan on going that route make sure to do your best :)

heya; thanks for the reply; Just a quick (dumb) follow-up question: If I manage to draw and submit a character before the deadline, but, because the Void Council is busy having fancy beach-parties, driving cool sportscars and judging wet t-shirt contests (because that's what you guys do, right?) , the character is not approved before tournament deadline, is it then possible to "withdraw" the character-submission? Or am I stuck with a character on the site which I then have to retire / deathmatch?

I will make sure that it a decision is made in time!
-
ugh this looks so fuuuuuun but i don't think i'll have time to maul 4-5 characters in a fashion i'll find acceptable with school just starting up ;-;
-
You can count me in with Auddie, this would be my first tournament (excitement). Scar matches are just about the coolest thing ever.
-
Man, I'm excited that Cornelius is finally getting some action :0
-
This is the perfect opportunity for his debut, I think! I'm freaking out in excitement hahaha
-
to clarify, it is a group comic, or one against five-six other people?
Also, do we all have to agree on the scar beforehand, just to be safe?
This is a good opportunity to bring out my new character...

This is a Battle Royale style fight. You're not doing some beyond battle set up, you're fighting everyone else in your bracket. You CAN list some off-limits on the scars beforehand, but don't expect anyone to listen to you. No one has any obligation to, so if you get someone who doesn't care, then you'll have to deal with it. If you sign up, lose, and are unhappy with the scar, that's your fault.
-
I think a brief explanation of what is required from the losers after the match( i.e. their design sheets and mandatory changes) should be in the original post...just so there is no confusion over rules or people trying to weasel out afterwards
should also specify that excuse pages etc. not acceptable.... all opposing characters must be scarred in comic format or disqualification results
....and what is all this talk about people pussing out and using 'new' characters......you are supposed to go into this with both barrels and use existing character(if you have one) you have a personal investment in....thats the whole point
-
Now hold on a diddly darn minute, Mr Wei. They ain't nothing wrong or 'pussy' about someone wanting to use a new character for scarring. Maybe they don't want character A with a scar just yet, maybe it just doesn't suit for them to get a scar at all.
The point of the tournament is to scar, not bring physical/emotional angst to the character. That comes later.

There will be a physical/emotional angst-tournament? sign me up for that :D
-
Coming this summer: THE ANGSTENING
-
I personally think that existing characters are 100000 times more interesting than new ones for this sort of thing. The risk to your precious baby is what makes this exciting. I hope that if anyone makes a new character for this that they actually use them after this tournament as well!!
-
Yeah, it encourages you to do your best, because you don't want to get your character fucked up.

wah.
its simple. man up or sit it out. I want stakes dammit, not an origin story.
this is very tempting. incredibly tempting...
-
Okay, I'm officially entering Ancelin into this thing. She likes scars now, anyway.
-
ANCELIN?? C'est magnifique!
-
I'm going to have to be a huge douche and pull out of this.
-
Bumping this because we (in this case ME) want more people to disfigure >:U
-
We only have until Saturday, so if you're on the fence, better push yourself off and join!
-
If things stay the same I don't mind having 8 people in one big angsty massacre.
-
I'm entering this with Elle because I have poor decision-making skills! :D
-

seconded
-
I'm also fine with having 9 if it stays like this.
-
Im cool with 8-9 people as well as long as we get a few more weeks to work on our entries
-
Ok, I got my new design sheet inked. I jut have to color it tomorrow and then I'm ready to bring the blood.
EDIT: I'm all set.
-
I agree it's gunna take some time to work on this.
-
I agree that it would be nice to have more time if we have 9 people.

Count Anita Thanatos in.

If you get in, I will kill you if you default again.
