It's almost time for the very first, "100% Canon", Starlet of /tv/ tournament! As voted on by your fellow anons (https://strawpoll.com/3RnYXbOADye/results), Starlet of /tv/ refers to the winner of an annual female character tournament. As the year is fast approaching its end, I've bumped up this tournament to TOMORROW, 12/27/2025. Rounds will begin and end around 7:00PM 4chan time (or 0:00 AM UTC).Pic slightly related; your "Elite Eight" from the male equivalent tournament held the prior week >>216788211►Eligible Entrants—Once nominations begin on 12/27/2025 at 7PM 4chan time, entrants will be accepted using the following criteria:>Characters must appear in (and be nominated under) a live action TV show or movie>Characters from hybrid animated/live-action productions are allowed to compete>Real-life actresses are not allowed; you may only submit the characters they play>Characters must not be bannable on /tv/ (i.e. no GR15 rule violations)>Characters have to be 18 and over>Cannot nominate multiple characters in one post►One-Month Old ClauseAny character making their first debut in the entirety of the previous month is ineligible to compete (meaning cutoff date is November 1st).►Nomination Process——DO NOT NOMINATE ANYONE UNTIL THE NOMINATIONS ROUND HAS BEGUN!———Reply to the Nominations thread using the following format: >Nominating [FEMALE CHARACTER] from [PRODUCTION]—Nominations thread will be linked here tomorrow by the tournament host.—Once a character has been nominated, no additional replies are necessary.

>>216895520OC Anchor, in case anyone had already worked on anything in advance:
>>216895520Whoo-hoo
>Anonymous just stayed AnonymousMakes sense.
y'all naegas voted out my oppa sun jae round 1, I will not be participating in this charade.
>>216895520>>Characters must appear in (and be nominated under) a live action TV show or movie>Varang is ineligible
Is this seeded or randomized?
In it to win it.
>>216895520finally fuckin' happening
>>216895826Precisely what the FOTM rule is for. Her movie just came out and she's very hyped up. Sometimes that results in an overperformance that wouldn't happen later. If she's a great character she'll do just as well next tournament.
>>216896015I would say it's up to the anons. We'll vote on it before the beginning of the first round.
>>216895520I updated an old somewhat placeholder pastebin for rules based on the votes from Star and advice from other places that exist, it's very preliminary right now since a lot of stuff is up in the air. If there's some stuff missing or contradictions let me know and I'll fix it.https://pastebin.com/J26fWsim
>>216896243protip: seeded is good, anons, there's a reason it's used
>>216896286>>216896243Well that was a fast contradiction, updated already
>>216896315I personally agree, even if it necessitates the Qualifiers round (and therefore a little extra work on my end).>>216896286Thanks for the Pastebin, this will be very helpful. To clarify, based on the slower output of nominations in previous /tv/ attempts, the replies requirement has been removed for this year.
>>216895520She WILL dominate and you will like it.
>>216896514Okey dokey I'll remove the requirement for now
>>216895520alright alright alright
>>216895520how did you do those big arrows?
>>216895520>>216896243>>216896514Given you're only one man, what's the protocol on making threads if one isn't up? Do we only wait for the host or what?
>>216895520Post your Starlet you worthless slime
>>216897218If a thread archives during the tournament, and I'm not around to make another (i.e. sleeping), I encourage someone to make a new thread in my place.
>>216897264
>>216897264Who the fuck else?
>>216897264Easy
>>216895520Hell, it's about time.
>>216895520is there a minimum screentime requirement or can we theoretically nominate extras?
>>216898910>>216898969>>216899865Go back to your containment board.
>>216899929Read the rules, dipshit.
>>216899959/co/mmies should not be colonizing other tournaments. Jessica is pushing it but fuck off with puppets and comics.
>>216896315Fuck off /tnt/.
>people didn't learn from that abortion of a failed male tournament You had your chance. Prepare for the consequences.
>>216900032Jessica is only being pushed for coper shit.
>>216899929>literally live action female character
>>216900128>cartoon>puppet>capeshit that originated from comics>>>/co/And stay there.
>>216900144>that originatedIrrelevant. If Deckard from Blade Runner is valid, Scarlet Witch is valid.
Gentlemen. It’s time we summon HIM.
>>216900158Fuck. Off. /co/mblr.
>He's still at it
>>216900032The Muppets are not only literally live action, but a basic foundation of their show was interacting with actual people, and every single film made with them is live action with actors and actresses.
>>216900167How do you think Hex will handle this tournament?
>>216900225Well maybe /co/ shouldn't have declared puppets their own.
>>216900032We voted on adaptations, the answer was yes, they're allowed. We voted on live action/animation hybrids, the answer was yes, they're allowed. We voted on purely animated film/TV, the answer was no, they're not allowed. This is how it is.
/tv/ should run their own tournaments. The last one was run by off boarders.https://4tourney.wikitide.org/wiki/4chan_Tournaments_WikiCase in point.
>>216900254I don't do things based on what other boards say.
>>216900272>We/tnt/ does not count. The last tournament was live action only and people were fine with it.
>>216900291>he says, doing a tournament done by other boards
>>216900320>/tnt/ does not count.exactly, so stop coping and start accepting the results voted on by /tv/
>>216900284>>216900254>>216900320>>216900341Dude, go away. We don't need your console warring nonsense.
>mr. /co/ had a final where the other contestant was live actionThe utter STATE of /co/ tournaments…>>216900350/tnt/ is the one pushing for comics and cartoons thoughbeit.
>>216900354/tnt/ and /co/ were the ones who have been pushing the console warring. They want a monopoly on tournaments.
/v/ here. If you want your tournaments to actually be good, ignore the off boarders and follow these instructions.>randomized instead of seeded>have plentiful OC, preferably of art>make sure threads are hype and keep the momentum going>don't worry so much about winners
Alright that's enough (You)s for you. Does /tv/ have any kind of booru like /v/ does? I don't recall ever seeing one.
>>216900466Why would they?
>>216900460>>randomized instead of seededwhy?
>they
>>216900491As stated dozens of times, seeded gives your pick no chance of they're not uber popular. Randomized gives everyone a fair shot regardless if they're super popular or not.
>>216900460The male tournament (God Emperor) was semi-randomized, as I sorted each contestant's ranking based on the last digits of their post number. And of course, that meant Freddy and Jason faced off in the first round...
>>216900350>voted by /tv/The last tournament had little attention despite this board being one of the more active ones. /tv/ is not the ones voting on this.
>>216900530But my pick WILL be super popular, because she is the best.
>>216900627These aren't popularity contests. Everyone should have a fair shot.
>>216900675>these aren’t popularity contests It literally is though
If you let cartoons in, you will invite certain schizos to /tv/. The reason *he* didn't show up in the male tournament was because there were no cartoons.
>>216900723They're character tournaments. If it were popularity only, we'd stop after qualifiers.
>>216900723Perhaps Reddit is more your speed.
>>216900732That and it was quick and dirty 64 tourney cobbled together after the original host bailed and had very low turnout. Not much to fuck up.
>>216900588I like having the big matchups happen during the first round so this is a point for randomized.
>>216900732Cartoons aren't allowed currently so what in the fuck are you even whining about?
>>216900996>Cartoons aren't allowedBases but you should tell other people that.
>>216900723It helps to be preemptively popular. But it's not the only thing that can make a nomination win a round or even a tournament. Convincing other anons to vote for a pick is half the fun.
>>216900390>Spider-Man niggers will try to use /tv/ to win another tournament For fuck's sake…
>>216901009It's literally in the rules. >>216895520 >>216896286. It's people's own fault if they don't read them.
>>216901052This is why /v/ tournaments are more hype than /co/ tournaments and why we need to help /tv/ out.>>216896286I have some criticisms.
>>216901084/co/ and /a/ have a place on /tv/. We should be allowed to vote for them here.
>>216901128that's up to voters
>>216901359Fuck that. We have a place here.
>>216900032That would remove god damn Godzilla from the tournament, so to that I say go to hell.
>>216901467Godzilla isn’t a puppet you dumbass and he was always supposed to be in /tv/ proper. Him being a /co/ pick was pure retardation on their part.
>>216901467He should be removed. Godzilla should be in an /m/ tournament as nature intended.
>>216900320>>216900615I don’t even know what /tnt/ is but I was posting in the god emperor of /tv/ tournament people pretty much unanimously wanted characters from non /tv/ origins to be included in the next tournament. It doesn’t make sense to have a /tv/ character tournament that disqualifies Patrick Bateman and Driver. Besides, there was already a vote.
I have a sneaking suspicion the poster crying about cartoons is the same person demanding their inclusion, and they have a slimy agenda they're pushing. What it is, I don't know, and I don't care, but I see it, lurking there like a big pile of excrement in the corner.
>>216901561>people pretty much unanimously wanted characters from non /tv/ origins to be included in the next tournament>there was already a vote.The people voting for this are not /tv/ natives and want to bend the tournaments to their will.
>>216901523He literally is, he's puppeteered on set by a suit actor and radio controllers the same way the Skeksis are in The Dark Crystal, but you would exclude the latter because....reasons.
>>216901591So just include them already. Cartoons are /tv/.
>>216901597>The people voting for this are not /tv/ nativesI am though >>216901621No
>>216901617Modern Godzilla is just CGI, that makes him as much a puppet as the Na'vi. And yes I would exclude the Dark Crystal because it's /co/.
>>216901652Cartoons are posted here, we should vote for cartoons. Don't let this get ugly.
/dbs/ SCHOLARS…it's our time to shine.
>>216901597I think you are the only one here trying to personally bend a tournament to his will. And I have a feeling you are the only one here who posts on your other board, and all your claims are projection. I might add, we don't even have a board called "/tnt/" so are you even from 4chan at all? Is this a reddit thing? Or is it a /pw/ thing?
>>216895520>Characters have to be 18 and overI assume this rule was implemented to deter cunny poster but I hope that this isn’t a rule for the main star of /tv/ tournament. I would have nominated the kid from Gummo but I didn’t know about the tournament when the nominations were happening. It’s kind of bullshit if I can’t nominate him. I don’t think that anyone even voted for this rule.
>>216901657Good thing no one asked you.
>>216901740I'm a /pw/ and /v/ chad and I know how off site boarders can wreck tournaments. Just ask /his/ and /an/.
>>216901758Why are shota cucks like this?
>>216901773That's great dude. When I see one, I'll let you know. Right now. Here's an offboarder, trying to cause trouble >>216899929 >>216900284
>>216901823You can't hide from me /tnt/roon.
>>216901758It's worded differently in the pastebin, that the actors must be over 18, not necessarily the characters (since there's a lot of "teenage" characters played by adult actors). That'd still exclude yours I expect but it's necessary to avoid a particular kind of poster slinking into nominations.
>>216901735We're going to run through this tournament
>>216901735well I hope you're planning on nominating Dragonball Evolution cos otherwise you're shit out of luck
>>216901858I get your hesitation but I still think it’s bullshit. I should be able to nominate the Come and See kid or the Gummo kid. I think that you’re just putting the kart before the horse here by making it a problem before it is one. At least remove that rule for the male tournament.
>>216895520For those doing 3x3s during the tourney, here's a tool to use, less effort than pasting in MS painthttps://bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php
>>216902006No pedo
>>216901996Dragon Ball is welcome everywhere
>>216902006In a perfect world, rules that like would not exist. But this is not a perfect world.
COOL BEANS
>>216901858>It's worded differently in the pastebin, that the actors must be over 18, not necessarily the charactersSafest bet, I think. Better safe than sorry when real people are involved.
Trying to police what is and isn't going to be allowed when we have such little reference material to go off of (which is literally nothing) is absurdly dumb.I can understand the worries, but stop with the arbitrary groundrules &just let in Cartoons, Anime and Characters under 18 for the inaugural year and then we can go from there after learning what does and doesn't work.
>>216902675Shut up /tnt/.
