HURRY UP THERE'S LITTLE TIME! HERE COMES THE...
Saywhatnow? What is this?It's a
Death Tournament! Not just any...
Death Tournament!, but the fastest one yet! A nice bonus warmup for the beginning of the year, the Light Speed Death Tournament is a new twist on our already blazing fast Speed Death Tournament!
What even makes this different?Timeframe! We got one week rounds! I know that you're thinking...
Aren't SDT rounds one week anyway?They ARE! A week of drawing, a week of voting. But that's not what I'm talking about. I mean the Drawing AND voting takes place over a week! 4 days of drawing, 3 days of voting! Can YOU handle the extreme crunch time? This is a special tournament that we can get done within a month! Crazy eh?
What...? Is this an official thing?Look at you asking all these questions like it isn't. Of course it is! HURRY UP AND MAKE SOMEONE!
So... what should I enter?Anything! But in the spirit of the tournament, I encourage you to make the design QUICKLY! First thing that comes to mind, a lot like a recent Art Jam I made.
The Last Minute SDT Character Jam!
http://entervoid.com/index.php?topic=13024.0There was a method to the madness, I wanted people to get a little taste of the mindset we're encouraging with this! Make anything you want! But most of all, MAKE IT QUICKLY!
That's stupid. But what do I need to to do to enter?Be registered on the site. Be a member, new and old are welcome here! Remember that you will have to submit the character through the site before the tournament starts. And since only one person is walking out of this alive
no intro pages are needed! You've basically done an intro comic by the time the first round happened anyway!
Are there any rules to this thing? (Partially stolen from Pyras' last tournament announcement. It's a good format.Along with regular rules of the website:
- A complete colored reference sheet of your character and a 50x50 character icon are needed for this tournament, but intro pages are not needed
- There's actually a page limit this time! You have to tell your story each round in only 1-3 pages! That's right there's a 3 PAGE MAXIMUM!
So when you're uploading, you should only upload up to page 3. Three pages only. (There's a comic lower in the post explaining exactly what a page means with your 3 page limit.)
- Both your, and your opponents characters must show up in your comic
- All matches are Death Matches made up of
2 weeks! 4 days!? You lose, you die, so be aware of what you're joining! - Any violation of the rules above results in an automatic disqualification
Signups begin: RIGHT NOW! January 3rd!
Signups END: REAL SOON! January 13th! (That's only 10 days people!)
We're looking to start with at least 8 people. Shooting for additional multiples of 4. We're gonna try and fit everyone who enters into it in those multiples.**
Round one begins: January 17th! (To give the mods some time to vote on people and arrange rounds. Might be a little signup leeway in those 4 days if you turn in something cool!)

**As we said before, while 8-12 contestants was going to be the target selection, there is a chance it could rise based on demand. Oooooh boy, 16 makes an even bracket. But, can we get more?
Edit: Oh man, 24 entrants is around the corner here. I still got bracketing options to attend to this situation, so keep entering! If we hit 24, perhaps we can get 32? We haven't seen that in a long time! Keep joining people!
Edit 2: WE GOT THE 24. Let's get to 32!
And here's me throwing my hat into the ring:
Delicious Breakfast!
There's been something strange happening around town lately. People have been showing up dead. AND IT'S CERTAINLY NOT CAUSED BY A DELICOUS BREAKFAST! With BUFFAL-OS! Filled with 33 Essential Vitamins and Minerals! Kids LOVE IT! Dads TOLERATE IT! And it keeps you strong for the BIG GAME, the BIG TEST,
"And those Big Bad Cowboys Tryin to Rustle mah OATS! WHOAAAAA"
Buffal-o's! There for the BIG Day Ahead of you! "Comes with a prize inside!"
Stay BUFFALO STRONG, just like BERNARD BUFFALO!
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? TIME'S A WASTIN!NEWSOkay people! Submission time is upon us. If things go well, we're gonna hit 32 people. That's a pretty good cap size for this. Otherwise, we'd need 64 people for a bracket. So now is the time to submit your character on the site officially.
What you need to do is:
1. on the top bar of the site, click Manager!
2. in the Character section of your manager click "Create a Character"
3. Fill the information in. Bio, height, sex (or lack of/undefined).
4. Your icon needs to be 50x50.
5. If you do not have an intro, which you don't need, you just put your design sheet into the design sheet, page 1, and page 2 sections.
6. Click submit character.
Now, submissions are Due the 13th. BUT, there's like 4 days before the tourney starts, so there's a little leeway if you're concerned. The Tourney ACTUALLY starts ON the 17th. So if you have trouble getting in or don't understand the process, use tha ttime to get it figured out, to gather your supplies, and get your ducks in a row.
Well look at that, 32 people. By this point, there will likely be a selection vote to keep it an even bracket. Sadly. If it was a longer deadline, perhaps we could wedge the extra into one of the rounds, but with 4 days, it's tough to expect someone to be able to build a 3 for all battle. We'll see what happens! Don't forget to submit!
Soon is the time. Soon!
News Update: Jan 13th
BONUS ROUND!!!Interesting news people! Around this point we apparently have 41 entries in!
We still wanna start this coming Sunday, the 17th!
So we have a potential situation here. If we get enough people for
48 ENTRANTS then we can have the same amount of weeks as the 32 set, everyone gets in, and we get an interesting new final round. We're at around 41, so we're only a wafer thin 7 away!
Final round would be a 3-for-all. Full week, which is a whole lot of time to this point, and the gloves come off and you can submit as much as you want! (Also a full week of voting, but what can you do?)
And the plus to all this? It only adds 3 days drawing time to the tournament! All the comics are done around the same time! So everyone would get in and it hardly disrupts the current tourney schedule!
Now this is potential, but if we can fill out to 48 by this
FRIDAY THE 15th! then we might have this oppertunity for the first 48 entrant tourney in about... 5 years I believe! Tell your friends, tell everyone!
Make this tournament EVER BETTER!
Edit 2: So we Did it! Here's a super important guide on comics in this tournament.
