We concluded our 3rd Tournament!
Once again, and for the last time under the role of GM, I wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who participated and/or contributed to make this happen. I like to think, and I think most of you will agree, that this was the best version to date. With that said, I retire from the Gamemaster role, hang up my magic hat and wish the Council the best of luck from now on...because crabs, they never read...and they never end.

This thread -the last one of /crab/3- is for celebrating, (shit)posting and talking about anything related to /crab/ and the future of /crab/. Open to everyone.
Ask your questions and suggestions and they -might- be answered.
Want to participate in the next stage? Let us know.

We are currently working on:

- Archiving stuff
- Organizing lore
- Compile all art
- The next arc of the saga: The GM Succession
Tourney dood. Wat nou?

It doesn't help that I'm a lazy fuck, so during Crab I probably draw more than the rest of the year combined.

Still, I would say even I have improved.
And in my case, it's less about the result, and more about the process. I have become so much faster, and so much more consistent than before. I can start a drawing and know where it's going, it doesn't feel like playing a slot machine anymore.

Plus, it's become faster. Or rather, it still takes the same amount of time, but because the basics get done earlier, I get to invest more time in refining details.

Plus, I made an animation and a game thanks to Crab, so it's definitely exercising my creative muscles with a good dose of "just draw"; which might not be the ideal practice routine, but it beats not doing anything any day.

Basically, I'm one of those spectators, usually chattering about, who was kinda late to the voting party, and decided to put my vote on who did the match better

problem is the list is as long as One Piece's episode count

So interest was ebbing and flowing by that alone, meanwhile, had to take the chance by giving reasons or simple opinions as why I voted A or B

and then the thread closed

Well, enjoy this leftover pamphlet or opinionated dribble:
">>7335131
Okay, time for my part:

Soren & Centurion
(Originally, I was gonna vot for Ocapon, cause of how creative that entry was (a goddamn game in such little time, man) but I kinda suck at it, and the story for Soren and Centurion's side might be one of the best in this tournament, so it didn't matter, as much as I wanted for them to win, heh....)

Evelin

(The opponent's entry is unfinished as fuck)

Yuna

Davok

Gouda
(seriously, for such a freak-ass design, Epona's a real nothing character for me, every time I see her in the submissions)


Lil' mixed on Awesoman and Lenard's entries here, Lenard's side got the more solid narrative, but Awesoman's animation kills it, though if I had to chose, i'd be Lenard, yeah.

Feddie
(originally I was gonna pick Cyrus' side, but his plot was weak as fuck)

Sack

(Sorry Dr. Stitch, but the last seconds of Sack's side just won my heart)"

Cousin Fredward is in heaven as a reward for his research into curing brain cancer on Earth and the suffering he endured from prostate cancer so it will take him a fair while to come out of heaven. Something unprecedented maybe.

It ended surprisingly in a 3 way tie between HAUNT, Bucket Servants and the Brat Pack, so the 3 teams said their wish and people voted for it.
The wish that won was the Brat Pack wish. HAUNT came second and BS 3rd.
The next crab tournament will be next year, but you can join the pit and then the main server If you want. There you can get prepared for next year's tournament and do some fun stuff. Lots of crabs prefer the downtime over the tournament itself.
There's a lot of content that didn't make it to the threads, but hopefully next year it will go better in that aspect too.
Tomorrow I'll expand on this If you want.

>Favorite 3 crabs? (From this tourney and also from all the tourneys)
Noot, Frankie, Berbie.
Seriously, in no particular order: Frankie, Bear, Honkita, Bodycount, Vormio, Chadwick, Chadmiral Pizza, Awesoman, Ocapon, Florida Man, Z and Magai.

>What's under the GM's hat?
Another hat.

>What do you think a team needs to win?
Strong leadership (4%)
A team that doesn't fall apart and delivers (5%)
Good art (0.5%)
Avoid Berlo (0.5%)
Reading ability (40%)
My blessing (50%)

>Has there been any match result you strongly disagreed with?
Not strongly, no. Most matches worked as expected on my keikaku. Maybe Janitor vs Cheras, that match was set up so that everyone would be confused with the same artistic style, with a 50-50. But after seeing the entries, I think Cheras deserved to win. The stardom did most of the work.

>Thoughts on how every headliner performed as a leader?
Performed as expected:
Wietse, Frankie, Soren, Tredecima, Luigi
Performed:
Tikas, Ocapon
Performed less than expected:
Desmond
Florida Man
Sentimia
I will go into more detail later.

Z -> A fan favorite (I'm a fan)
GM -> It's the GM
Kome -> Tough choice, but Kome is hotter
Dylan -> Origami Samurai isn't strong enough
Davok -> Davok since Janny was sleeping on Sanctus a bit too much
Dizzy -> Undeserved Jobber award vs underserved almost Oliver award
LOVE -> LOVE is fluffier than NOOT
Moses -> Iconic
Lenard -> Could have picked Desmond easily here but nah
Harry -> Funnier
Luigi -> Another tough match, but I like his character portrayal a bit more

As you can see anon, my criteria was based on whatever I saw fit at the time.
>>
>>7362040
1. GM is more powerful than Wanzu but they can share a ranking.
2. Ocapon is A Tier. Normal Wanzu is SS Tier. Lenard is A Tier.
3. Cheras is Upper B Tier. So is Feddie and Sanguine.
4. Too many Crabs in B Tier, it should be split in two tiers or more should go down to C-Tier. No way Vera and Pe'le share a tier. Vera is C Tier.
5. Luigi is B Tier since he has tanks.
6. Noot is SSS Tier. Are you stupid or what?

>>7363274
This is more like rock, paper, scissors depending on the matchup

Z because I like em more and is less gross
Gouda.
Kome.
Dylan, anything good about Epona comes from memes
Tough one. Davok, but they should be friends.
Dizzy deserved more.
Love was funnier and felt more involved despite doing less.
They are friends.

Tredecima because she has fatter tits.

>>7364017
NTA, but I think the council has too many people on it, and I don't trust them to hold each other accountable. The observers should also not be a thing. Bat Anon needs promoted since he actually helped with recruiting. Ocapon Anon submitted a commission as part of his entry and shittalked his team over his thoughts on Discord, so he shouldn't be on it.
IMO, it should just be Wietse Anon, Tredecima Anon, Frankie Anon, and a NGger or two, your choice between Z Anon or Dylan Anon. If you want to consider different viewpoints, enforce a break period between rounds and consult with the server. Maybe look into adding more people for specialized roles if thinks work out well with next round.
>>
>>7365065
True, it should be smaller
>>
>>7365065
>>7365087
Wouldn't a smaller council create more circlejerking? You need more voices.
>>
Guys, in order to dismantle the circlejerk, we have to remove people who are critical of others. That'll show em.

>>7365117
Don't you think that having less but far more different personalities help on that?
>>
>>7365065
The resons for each member were stated previously and no one said anything about it, not even itt
>>
>>7365128
With this I'm not invalidating your criticism by any means, in fact I think there are a lot of things that could be discussed.
It's just that maybe keeping it as it is would work imo. Something like "If it isn't broken, don't fix it"
I'm considering here the capabilities of reasoning of each member, not only their personal exeriences with crab 3.
That's why I said what I said.
>>
>>7365113
You don't want too many cooks in the kitchen. A smaller amount of council voices keeps judgment tighter, and the role of the council should be to facilitate the game, not make friends. I'm aware a smaller size invites the possibility of favoritism from having fewer asses a troglodyte would need to brownnose, but adding people because the council personally likes them is hardly a fix.
As a tradeoff to prevent egregious favoritism and include more viewpoints, I think the council should enforce a weeklong break between rounds, in which they meet and chat with the headliners privately aside from generally keeping an ear out in the community. The headliners already act as team managers and G already did similar meetings in the past, so it might as well be codified. Furthermore, if the council would decide to expand afterwards, it gives a list of potential candidates that would have proven they can partially manage the tournament.
>>

Not everyone is on Discord 24/7
>>
>>7365113
No you just make sure you get 1 asshole or autist that doesnt work with others well fucking duh
>>
>>7365143
It's either a strong centralized direction or trying to get more voices as the council is just deciding some base rules for the next GM. I don't think its that important in the end but I prefer the more voices - the strong centralized power should come only when the next GM appears, the council only needs to capture the opinions and experiences of good crabs to ensure the next tournament is good. Limiting it would not make much sense. If anything I would suggest people should throw more ideas either here or for the council to adjust.
>>
>>7365149
What's wrong with a strong central direction that consults with the headliners? If anything that would include more voices than just adding few designated other people onto the council. Right now 9 people on the council would be represented, but if the structure I propose would be implemented this /crab/ you have that many voices included from the headliners alone.
>>
>>7365168
Anon I think theres a misunderstanding here. This council wont be the same when crab 4 starts. And the talking with headliners will be done.
>>
>>7365176
I probably am misunderstanding. The role of the council as described on Discord is flippant between wanting to remain in charge and ceeding power to the next gamemaster, what exactly it's doing backstage, how much power they have over the gamemaster, or how long each person will remain in it. It also seems apparent that Wietse Anon is going to be the next gamemaster, and if I were right on that then acting like there will be some divide between the two bodies would be frivilous. If the existence of the council wasn't a big deal then the first take on it wouldn't need 9 people.
This thread is getting derailed and my concerns have now been heard. If I'm wrong about anything, feel free to point it out for anyone who wants to continue.

Hello hello, this is Wietse-anon. There seems to be some confusion about the Council. So I decide to come in and clear things up.

>Why does the Council exist?
The Council is a transitional group that keeps stuff stable in the community until a new Gamemaster comes in and takes over for CRAB 4. The Council is NOT permanently taking over.
The Council also exists to codify rules for the tournament as in the past tournaments there has been critique by the community on how the tournament has been officiated and how the rules can be confusing at times.
So this opportunity has been taken to help set up some rules.

>Why have these people been chosen for the Council?
I have given my reasons in the Discord on why I have picked these people, but to summarize again: I have picked these people for the council for their tournament experience, knowledge, reliability and their dedication and love for the tournament.
Kome-anon and Ocapon-anon speak for themselves: they have been in the tournament since the start, competed in all of them and deeply care for it. Lenard-anon has always been dedicated to the tournament and cares a lot for its future. Tredecima-anon and Soren-anon are people I respectfully consider potential GM candidates and they have had some good opinions for the tournament. Evelin-anon has experience managing role-playing games and I take those in value for how to set up rules. Frankie-anon has valuable experience as someone who has been in two vastly different types of teams that could help in matters of team structure. She also has a keen eye on some things. Z-anon is the “newcomer’s perspective” of the Council. While there were other people in consideration, I have picked them because they have managed to bring in some extra excitement and thrill in the tournament that I appreciate, although I disagree with some of the methods taken.
I take full responsibility for the members I have picked and stand by my decision. If I am proven wrong, I admit it.

>Why are Lenard-anon and Ocapon-anon “observers” in the Council?
The “Observer” role is a position created taking into account that those who have this role are not competing in the tournament the next year and thus would have less stakes in it.
Despite that, the opinions of Lenard-anon and Ocapon-anon are taken in equal consideration as the rest of the council’s and I value their participation highly.

>Why are there so many members? Can they be trimmed down?
For the current state of the Council I do not wish to trim down the members. This is an important phase where there need be many heads and insights discussing this matter. I have specifically chosen this size and specifically chosen these members.
Again, this is a transitional group. Not the new permanent managers of the tournament.

>What happens when a new Gamemaster comes in?
When a new GM comes in, the Council will give all the management responsibilities of the tournament to the GM. The Council then shrinks in size and turns into an “advisory board” for the GM - allowing him to rule his style (of course still with the codex set up) but they will be at hand when the GM is in need of some advice.
That would be the extent of the Council’s role for the tournament. What happens further with the members in it and how their relation with the GM goes further are matters for the future. This council is still mainly focused on its primary role - taking necessary charge until a new GM is decided upon.

I wish to also state I do not have the desire to become the GM in the near future. While I know some people view me as a candidate, I still wish to participate fully in the contest as a CRAB.

And that’s what I mainly have to say. A lot of this stuff is still in its infancy and it’s a lot of work planning this. We’re basically futureproofing the Tournament now. I hope I have dispersed most of the confusion about the Council.

you may be a bit mistaken as to what the council is about. the council is literally just ia bunch of nterim leaders until we find a new GM, since mostly, none of us wanted to GM unless as a last resort
