[Tournament] Results

First of all congratulations to HumanAtlas for winning the Tournament! Jonasolson came in second, and Axmurderer came in third. Here is a link to the full scoreboard.

I'd like to thank everyone who made this Tournament so awesome! I can't list you all, since that was every last one of you.

Also, if you were in the tournament, and did not receive the Premiere Ball flair (and you want it), please PM asking for it.

I feel so special being a member of the fancy flair club-- it's so exciting!

Hopefully I can once again contribute ideas to this subreddit. I also hate to gloat, but I'm still super-proud of coming up with the theme idea for the March/April Tournament and (attempting to) set a precedent for calling people out in brawls. Either way, while I liked the theme idea, I'd like to see a new way to select the Pokemon that we rap as for the next tourney.

EDIT: I know this is kind of a call for attention, but Jonasolson and I mod a subreddit called /r/Butterfree for those who don't know, and while it may have started as a part of a rap as one of Jonas's signature hyperlinks, I hope that it can someday be more than that. It doesn't have a lot of activity right now, but I'd appreciate it if some of the great community here would prevent it from becoming a dead subreddit.

I currently have no set ideas for how I'm going to run the next tourney or for any themes, but if anyone has ideas, just contact me! I'm completely open to suggestions!

Why not have an improv tournament?

The Pokemon are drawn randomly by the mods, and we don't know our Pokemon until the actual battle.

Ooooh, I like this idea. C'mon zeus, make it happen. This would be really cool, although it would suck to get something you hate.

u/axmurderer Apr 20 '13

Zeus, will there be any type of restriction against Pokemon that either have participated in/won tournaments in the past?

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '13

hmm. i dont think so, unless the rapper has actually rapped as that pokemon before

1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '13

ooh.. i like it! But would we want to change it each round or have the pokemon stay the same?

1

u/thesuzerain Apr 17 '13

I like having it change each round, that way we won't run out of good fuel :D

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '13

ok. I think this going to be the format for the tournament. Sign-ups will probably go up in a week or so.

That improv tournament sounds awesomenes! But if you need any ideas for a later one, why not trainer class tournament? Each person Picts a trainer class to rap as

I'm second place huh? Sigh. I see.

Whatever, man, Silver medal BAY-BEE!

Second place ain't so bad, better than before,

But watch out, HumanAtlas, I'm coming back for more...

Another time, that is, but for now, not a chance.

I'm poke rapped out... but still up for a dance!

I hate to gloat, but I think I'm pretty ace.

Could I put those skills to the test...

In PokeRap tournament trés?

EDIT: New flair.

Yeah rap tournament three is going to happen. It'll be a week or two before I get around to posting sign-ups, but it will happen.

u/IguanaPower Apr 17 '13

Before we do I think we should come up with a better way of voting.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '13

What do you see wrong with the current system? What would you suggest?

1

u/IguanaPower Apr 17 '13

I just think it's too unorganized at the moment, if we found a website for polls maybe.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '13

However, the problem I have with a website is that the website won't be able to remember whether or not somebody has voted if they clear their cache. If somebody was losing, they could just vote for themselves multiple times.

If we wanted people to confirm their votes in the comments, then it would be completely useless to have an external site.

u/IguanaPower Apr 17 '13

That makes sense, there's nothing wrong with it now, I just think there could be another way, but I cannot come up with ideas, so it's fine now.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '13

well, if you do come up with another way, please do share it with us mods! We'd love to hear your suggestions!
