Board 8 > TAG TEAM CHARACTER BATTLE - QUALlFYING ROUND

(+) Yeah! (+)

Got a lot of unique nominations in the last topic. Time to consolidate the field.

1. The contest will be 2 v 2, randomized teams, 128 total entrants.
2. There are currently 49 out of 128 slots filled. 79 slots open.
3. 150 other characters were nominated in the last topic but didn't get enough to make the bracket.
4. Each person gets 2 votes to use every 12 hours. Each vote can be used to immediately add an existing character in the pool to the bracket. It only takes 1 vote! If you nominated in the last topic, you can still support the character that you already nominated and get them in single-handedly! What a crazy twist!
5. Each person also gets 1 additional vote per 12 hours that can (only) be used to add another character to the pool that has not yet been nominated. If another unique person in the topic supports that character, they'll make it into the bracket.

People really took 'you don't have to nominate the obvious choices' to heart!

I can probably change it, just wasnt sure how many people would vote and didnt want the topic to be up forever. 24 hours might make more sense though.

I'll check Rise tomorrow when its not late.

Yup, Rise and Ocelot are in. @BlueCrystalTear gets an extra vote to use because he wasted one on Rise.

(Also changing the limit to every 24 hours, because this topic is filling up faster than I expected)

Eeeeh probably should treat a New character as needing a vote for an existing character to get in. Your vote is fine though as I didn't clarify.

Guys he changed it 24 btw, so your vote doesn't count, Tex, I think? Unless that was meant to be non-retroactive and only applying to the next vote

Yeah additional votes will only count after 24 hours. I stated the change early enough so I don't feel the need to give a grace period

..can I add another new one now or do I have to wait from the timestamp of my earlier post?
---

Feel free to add a new one now, although we might actually be full up anyway. Tallying now.
---

Nope, I super overestimated! There are currently 30 slots left. I'll update the full list at the start of the second page, so feel free to spam or whatever.
---

@IhatethisCPU both of your Existing votes were already supported by others in this topic, so they're in the bracket now. Feel free to use them on something else.
---

....Hmm.

Kyoko Kirigiri (DanganRonpa)
Yusuke Kitagawa (Persona 5) then.

...since the last addition of Miles didn't exactly take.

New one will be:
Hilda (Pokemon)

thanks, KP
---

I really should've clarified earlier that New characters added need Existing votes afterwards (instead of a second New vote), but so few of them are getting in anyway so go crazy I suppose
---

I'm more interested in new characters than existing so I'm tempted to game the system by using all 3 votes on seconds of news. Truly living on the edge.

Oh right, I can vote too
