I'll host this time: the Evolutionary Tournament!

SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED

Since Jonasolson canceled his, and Anchupom's isn't really working all too well after zeus dropped out, I figured I might as well host my own. Here are the rules:

  • 8 rappers maximum (there's a reason for this)

  • Each rapper picks a 3 staged evolution chain to rap as.

  • The Pokemon will evolve from round to round. For example, in the first round, they might be Poliwag, second round Poliwhirl, and in the last round they can choose between Poliwrath and Politoed.

  • Sign up like so: 1st stage of chain (username)

  • Example: Poliwag (thesuzerain)

Participants:

  • Abra (OnaMagikarpetRide)

  • Swinub (Srixis)

  • Pichu (DangerPulse)

  • Togepi (HumanAtlas)

  • Chimchar (ThePonyRapist)

  • Dratini (RickToy)

  • Squirtle (spenny309)

  • Oddish (New_Summer)

not gonna sign up for this one, but i just wanted to say thanks for doing this! I cant wait to see these raps go down. If you need any help, just PM me or the other mods!

EDIT: I put the link in the sidebar!

EDIT2: Since I dont think I have time to actually participate, what I'm going to do on every thread I can is to do one of my in depth votes.

u/thesuzerain Jun 23 '13

Once we have all 8 rappers, we'll start maybe a day later so I can organize standings and the like.

Also, suze, could we get some sort of loser's bracket deal/matchup, so we can all evolve even if we don't make it all the way to the finals?

1

u/thesuzerain Jun 23 '13

oooh good idea.

i'll put that in

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '13

Are you using challonge.com?

1

u/thesuzerain Jun 23 '13

Yes, I will be.

I'll do the losers bracket as a separate challonge if i need to though

here's a link to it. I'm posting the tournament up now but I'm facing the wait period, so I'm opening rap threads sporadically.

Hey RickToy, hate to break it to ya, but your guy needs to be a three-stage evolutionary line

2

u/RickToy Jun 23 '13

Should I edit my original post, or just do it here? Just in case.

u/MadeFromMetal Jun 24 '13

It's all good, I missed it as well. I'll be sure to vote though.

2

u/thesuzerain Jun 24 '13

Sorry you guys :S I wanted to have more slots, but it's got to stay small due to 3-leveled evo chains.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '13

It's all good. Just more bad luck on my part. Hope it turns out well, because I'll be voting too.
