My friends and I did this and while I wasn't sure if I should share it here, they've pointed out that I've broken character before plenty of times.

So...yeah.

The Cartoon High Council has convened. If you disagree, you are wrong.

I’ve interrupted this account’s retirement to say this and then return to this account retirement.

Congrats to both the victors!

DISCLAIMERS (PLEASE READ):

*TFC was a beloved youtuber who sadly passed away last year. He was submitted and then included in this tournament as a way to honor his memory. **This poll is referring specifically to the characters played by these streamers. However, Technoblade, the youtuber, tragically passed away last year. I do not want to see anyone being toxic or disrespectful to their memories. Feel free to spread propaganda and vote for who you want, but anyone crossing a line will be blocked

Why they would crush the other geezers under the cut:

Welcome to the Virtual Character Tournament!

Wanna find out who the #1 character of 1's and 0's is? That's what we're gonna find out. Welcome to the Virtual Character Tournament!

The classification can be a bit vague, so let's get into the rules and definitions.

A virtual character is described as a character existing in a digital space (classified by the narrative as such) who primarily operates within said space.

They can have a physical form in some capacity, but it cannot take precedence over their virtual form. (If they do not have a singular physical form and are known to body-hop, that's fine.)

A franchise can have up to 3 representatives.

Be respectful of other people. The characters are fictional, but the people rooting for them are not.

No n*zis, t*rfs, tr*nsphobes, or any other related bigots. Not even as an easy springboard for another character to win.

I say virtual characters due to stipulation against AI. AI could work, but in this case, I mean fictional AIs that exist for all kinds of narrative purposes, and not current modern AIs, which exist to let techbros steal from people and cross moral boundaries.

I guess while I'm on that, let's talk about franchises or properties that are excluded from the running.

Real life AIs (ChatGBT, etc.)

South Park

Minecraft SMP

Ender's Game

TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise

Harry Potter (Unlikely to appear. I'm just covering my bases)

Also, while these characters can still be submitted, do so primarily for propaganda, as they will already be included.

Megaman.EXE (Mega Man Battle Network)

Ai (Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains)

Cortana (Halo)

Other than that, if you have any further questions, submit them to my ask box, and then I'll answer them there and the form accordingly.

DEADLINE TO GET YOUR CHARACTERS IN IS AUGUST 31ST! SO LET'S GO!

Lastly, tagging other great tournaments, like @fandomanimatic-tournament, @mattbracket, @elementspecificcharatourney, @retirement-home-rumble, @sharp-teeth-swag, @enemies-to-allies-tournament...and my past tournament, @elderlytourney!

The qualified characters for the next tourney...

Well, time to meet them, shall we?

Behold...the autoqualified characters...for THE VIRTUAL CHARACTER TOURNEY!

First up, "A dying child given new life, helping his brother through the mundane tasks of life…until terrorists try destroying everything. Then, he must risk his existence to save both his world, and the one he can only watch."...

Give it up for MegaMan.EXE from the Mega Man Battle Network series!

Next, "The last hope of their kind…later becoming the last of their kind. When they feared what would happen when they turned their back on mankind, they did just that…but refused to let them perish."...

It's Ai from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRains!

Finally, "All she had known was war. It seemed to stretch out beyond her perception of the world. She gave her life to end that war...but evidently neither would accept the end...not like that anyway."

She's none other than Cortana from the Halo series!

Wanna root for any of them or give them some quality propaganda? Or...maybe you've got someone better? Either way, visit @virtcharactertournament to throw your hat into the ring and prepare for the ultimate virtual tourney!

#virtual character tourney #character polls #nominations #if anyone has any virtual characters that are elderly feel free to submit #i will forever be haunted by the elderly #i have accepted this

[elderlytourney]

So...wanna see the auto qualifiers for the next tourney?

Stay tuned. 8.11. 10am EST.

An edit to the upcoming tourney

Hello. I'm breaking character for a sec to update you all regarding the pre-qualified entrants to the next tournament.

There was one character that was prequalified, one of those fancy poetic entrants. Specifically,

"A shadow in a child’s dream, befriending those they encounter while keeping away the monster they made…and the monster that made them."

This character was from a piece of media created by an individual that I had hoped was changing for the better. However, recent events have made me reconsider this character. I'm being as vague as possible here, but if you're familiar with this person's work, you may have an inkling as to who it was.

Rather than replace them, I'll keep it to 3 for now. In the meantime, I hope this will not place much of a damper on the tourney. I hope to have it announced by the end of the week. Once it's set up, I'll reblog the announcement. It will be on another account.

#character polls #tournament poll

[elderlytourney]

Was your blorbo a victim of her canon’s misogyny?

Did she not receive the same development as her male counterparts?  Was she subject to misogynist trope after misogynistic trope? Was she constantly sidelined and never allowed to do anything? Were her abilities always downplayed because god forbid she ever rival the men? Is the creator(s)’s misogyny really shining through? Did she deserve so, so much better than she got?

If so, let her compete against her fellow victims! Submit her here for this tournament! The form closes August 14th 11:59 PM.

RULES

She must be female (cis or trans)

Her mistreatment must be based on canon, not fandom

Don’t submit a single character multiple times, but please submit as many different female characters as you want!

No terfs or other bigotry

No real people, no Harry Potter characters

Old Woman Tourney - Results

and thus, another tournament comes to a close, so without further ado,

THE WINNER OF THE OLD WOMAN TOURNEY IS...

EILEEN THE CROW from Bloodborne!

In second place, we have Lucretia from the Adventure Zone: Balance, and in third, Esme Weatherwax from Discworld.

Thank you all so much for participating! It's been a delight to host this, even through the tougher times.

There will be another tournament coming soon, and I'll announce it here as well, though it will be on another account due to how it doesn't directly involve the elderly. That being said, I will make a post closer to its unveiling, at least announcing who the initial 4 participants are based on the themes provided. This one will also allow multiple entrants per franchise...mainly because while it's still a wide topic, it's a bit more niche than others.

Still, see you then, and in the meantime, check out @retirement-home-rumble for further jousts of geriatricity! (that's not a word but it gets the message across)
