Being late means the foe decides your fate (you may continue but auto-silver)>Crabs vote on certain topics(schedule is a surprise but changes depending on breaks/extensions 11-15 weeks)>R1 system will facilitate more interactions between crabs and they will develop history with one another after r1. >Votes for teammates don't count (feedback welcome for matches)>R1 has the most limitations & exit points for crabs without hindering their team, R2 will allow breathing room and help from teams, R3 will have no restrictions except that they fight on their own. (Allowed to assist in all rounds except R3)>Team ups/betrayals: In order to assist/betray you must create artwork depicting setup before the payoff before the round Otherwise it won't count.>Writing Character loses/death in your entry: Allowed, however if you win the vote with an entry while losing, the result of that character's loss/death becomes canon and you are deemed unable to continue and will be eliminated. >Shared entry: Allowed but you split the points with your opponent>Crabs have score/record and teams will have a separate record, medals earned on a team stay with that team.further info will be provided as needed

https://files.catbox.moe/ni877o.mp4
I vote for uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
https://files.catbox.moe/73fiyg.mp4Let the game begin.
G ROOMBA-Same structure as usual.-Pit open to have bench people and commentators will be instrumental in keeping audience interest. People who pass the team can join and their characters can interact with Crabs during downtime and be selected if there is a spot. There will be one commentator for 4chan and one for Newgrounds posting questions and creating interaction bait.-If a CRAB doesn't communicate with his team for over 4 days, they are kicked out.-R1 and R2 limits are 15 pages for comics and 1:50 for animations.-Teams will be of 5 crabs. Upon the team forming you are required to draw your crab with their team, this is eliminatory.-Schedule: 2 preweeks, 3 weeks r1, 1 freeweek, 3 weeks r2, 1 free week, 4 weeks r3. Total of 14 weeks.G MISHKA-Wants to set up small Original Character Tournaments in order to scout talents for CRAB.-Expand CRAB away from IC.-Basic concept of the tournament remains the same. Characters who lose can remain trapped in the bucket alongside previous contestants for a bigger storyline (optional).-Two announcer positions, one for internal storytelling and a talented artist for promotion purposes.-Focusing on showing the CRAB narratives to the outside world to gain interest.-Project idea: Crab Town, place where we put every location from the story serving as a setting for things.
>>7429158G KOME-Tournament begins July-August. 50 Crabs in teams of 5 but the number can increase.-You must draw your team after the teams are made, this is eliminatory.-Spectators can join by making entries on which their own OC's help their favorite crabs. With this, they are allowed to vote for that match - this will help with the Tournament interest outside of the discord and to promote it.-Schedule is R1: 2 WEEKS, week rest, R2: 1 WEEK, week rest, R3: 3 WEEKs. Two months and a half total counting the team forming.-Those who ask for extensions will get a medal from their team deducted and given back only if they won the match. Extensions are only given if both parties requested it to the Gamemaster.-No doing entries for a drop-out but you can help team-mates.-No religious or historical characters but rape is fine.-Emphasis in character lore and storytelling when making the matches.G GOODDRAWS-Ensuring CRAB has a consistent narrative for people who wish to read it outside of participants. Single storyline that changes depending on who won the matches.-Only comic format is allowed. 5 page minimum 15 page maximum.-General idea is to make CRAB something that the average internet user can read on webtoons and enjoy while following a general story, allowing for it to be more "marketable".GMAGAI-Quitters will be publicly shamed and called Bitches.-Aims to put CRABS against the usual problems of comic-making.-Rounds will give 2 points, this way they can be spread among people who do collabs.-No voting for your own team matches. This way there is less content to read thus faster voting, and no bitch moves.
>>7429159GM CLOWN-Same structure as usual.-Uses the same schedule as Roomba-GM.-Introductory comic required from newbies and previous drop-outs.-Artists who drop out should try to find a replacement for their spot.-Unique hubworld for intro (CRAB STAR), a setting on which the tournament develops.-Round ideas will allow for more team interaction as well as character lore exploration.GM ERIS CHRONA-Same structure as usual.-No shows for any round get instantly kicked out. Being incomunicative to your team for more than 4 days leads to being kicked out,-Feeback is encouraged when voting. Votes done for yourself or your own team won't be counted.-Not allowed to do entries for team-mates who dropped out, but you can help your fellow team. Carrying the character depends on them.-First two rounds will have page limits.-No real life people or figures competing. Religious figures can compete if they are changed/transformative enough.-Sensitive topics such as rape and Hitler are okay.-Timelines controlled by Eris as framing device.G HATMASTER-Keep the structure the same but streamline it.-No extensions.-Extracurricular art events during breaks.-MAYBE limit round two to six pages.GM GOUDA-Participants who didn't introduce their character with a comic must drop a character sheet with all information to serve as reference. Comic-makers will be chosen first.-After teams are made they must submit at least one comic in which the team members interact.-No cross team content (Centuria, CRAB 1 R2).-Winners get 5 points, losers 2, no shows 0. You can assist team-mates but not make their comics.-Only comic format is allowed.-GM can deny or fullfill the winner's wish.
>>7429144
>>7429161GM DARKMODE-Instructions will be 4 sentences or less,-R1 Format is altered, teams will be forged in part via player choice/performance (in3stages) & partially via GM matchups-Lower barrier to entry, anyone can enter, those who draw will always have a path forward-Wishes will be unlimited-Freedom of expression + Association (Draw whatever you want, but your team mates and opponents will also be free to not choose you)-You get 1 extension which you can invoke if you're late after surviving r1 but your opponent has to agree to the length
