+Sorana she/her Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Honestly, for me, that was the hardest decision, of all tournaments so far.

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine he/him Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 @Paranoid King and @I think I am here. those song parodies were fantastic, too bad that like the Highlander, there can be only one true victor. After the votes have been cast and the smoke has cleared, pip pip to whichever of you stands victorious over the heaped and smoldering remains of roasted contestants past. Your victory was well deserved, your roasts expertly constructed and devastatingly delivered. Also, @Herowannabe, I loved the Final Show Down parody too, great stuff all around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herowannabe he/him Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Alright everyone, the votes have been cast and counted, and the time has come to announce the winner of the Cosmere Character Roast Battle Tournament of Champions! And without further ado, the greatest Roaster in all the Cosmere is- *Drumroll please! ... Spoiler *Er... Make that a Rickroll. Congratulations @I think I am here.! Well earned! And thanks to our runner-up, @Paranoid King, and to everyone who participated in this tournament! All the roasts have been a blast to read! And now, with that done, you might be wondering, what's next? Well first off, a small announcement to make. @Paranoid King offered to be a Co-Moderator, and @John203 agreed to let him take his place. So a big thank you to @John203 for the work you've done over the past couple months helping me run this! And @Paranoid King, I look forward to working with you on the next tournament. And yes, a new tournament is in the works. We'll give it a few days for the dust to settle from the Championship tournament, and then we'll announce and open up sign-ups for the next one (That will also give me a chance to coordinate with my new co-GM). Lastly, I could use one or more volunteers to help out a bit. In the very first post of this thread, @Ashspren has a link to an Archive with links to all of the roasts that have been submitted throughout all the tournaments. However, it hasn't been updated in a while. I've been wanting to get it up to date but I haven't had time and don't know if/when I'll ever get around to it. So if someone wanted to go through the thread and fill out the doc with the last couple of tournaments (including links to the roasts) that would be fantastic, and I'll be sure you get showered with lots of upvotes for your efforts. Thanks in advance! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC12 he/him Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have been away from the Shard for awhile but on returning this was the first thread I checked. Still amazing! Glad to see it is still going. Might I offer a suggestion? We have had the Tournament of Champions, why not try a Redemption Round? Bring back participants with their original characters who were fan favorites but did not win? Just a thought 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Following ashspren's original plan, we're going to have a round of non-cosmere roasters, just to shake things up a bit. After that, I believe we'll be allowing reruns of names. It's not quite the same as what you're suggesting, but people can still choose to play their old characters, if they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AonEne he/him in an enby way Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Congratulations, Itiah! Just a suggestion I once had - I don't know if Ash was really considering it, but I'm throwing this out there. OC round. The biggest drawback, admittedly, would be a bunch of people not getting the references in the roasts, but if people gave a little background on their character before they began, it could be possible...*shrugs* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another drawback I can see is if people take Roasts towards their character to heart. I mean, roasting things like a Cosmere characters arcs, appearance, powers etc. is different because it’s written by Brandon, by if we were to roast OCs that the competitors have made, it may come across as a bigger jab towards the competitor who’s made and developed them. I don’t know though, if you got people who weren’t concerned with all that stuff it could really be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid King he/him Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) The tournament of champions is finally over! Congratulations again to Itiah, you killed it as Yomen. Which means we're just about ready to move on to round 6! Basic rules can be found here, plus a couple of extra rules this round: First and foremost, this is a non-cosmere roast battle! That means no Shardbearers, Allomancers, Elantrians, or Awakeners. However, Smedries, Rithmatists, Reckoners, or Doomslugs are all free game. (My spellchecker hates that entire paragraph.) Secondly, we're going to try and keep things moving fast - If your time is up and you haven't responded yet, your competitor gets an extra vote. If another 24 hours passes without any response, we'll have to move on without you. Extensions can still be requested without penalty, just let Hero or I know how long you need. And now, without further ado... Signups have begun for tournament six! Player list: Spoiler Legend: [Player] - [Character] ([Series]) Sorana - Melody (Rithmatist) Kidpen - Alcatraz Smedry (Alcatraz) Wyndlerunner - M-Bot (Skyward) I Think I am Here - Tobias (Legion) MetaTerminal - Stephen Leeds (Legion) Ax's Boyfriend - Bastille (Alcatraz) Snipexe - Jason Write (Defending Elysium) John203 - Spensa (Skyward) Pinch Hitters: Archer Edited July 19, 2019 by Paranoid King 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
