The time is upon us once again, the fifth iteration of Comics and Random Art Battles will begin and soon your OC may have the chance to participate this year and win a wondrous wish of incredible power!>What is this?CRAB is an OCT where artists submit their OCs and participate in a three-round tournament where they are pit against an opponent to fulfill a prompt's task over the other. >How many people will be participating?Ten teams of five participants, so 50.>How long will this take?From May 17th to Aug 25th. There's breaks to stop people from burning out between rounds.>Random art battles?CRAB has had animations, VNs, DOOM.WADs, and more submitted as entries in the past, that's where the 'random art' comes from.>How does this work?Main organization is done on Discord but it is not a requirement if you want to stay thread-only, however you do have to host your entries on Cubari or other image hosts to be voted on by other participants.
To join you have to draw your OC defeating Houndclops here, minimum of three pages to enter.
It’s that time of year again, so here I am to say—I’ll be participating with Hiragi Junkō, the most badass and angsty motherfucker in ALL of Kyoto!
First for Junkō, by the way.
How big does this get?
>>789353850+ participants usually
>>7893538Fairly big, there's a lot of participants and entries and our drop rate has been hovering around 20% out of 50 people.

Ok I'm going to try the CRAB. This is my OC Dana Bas. Her name translates to "Mother of the End" in Irish.
>>7896847She's a blood witch from 360 AD Ireland and lives in a cave. Her specialities are haruspicy and blood magic.https://namicomi.com/en/chapter/AvVqpz4m
>>7896847>>7896848really cool character
>>7896847>>7896848Oh, hi Omeow. Cool to see you. And cool you're bringing Dana in. Well, what are you waiting for? Make a comic of Dana beating Houndclops >>7893497 and you're in.
>>7896990There's a 3 page qualifier comic where I have to draw someone's weird OC just to enter? -_-
>>7897015Yeah buddy, that's the fucking point. It's a filter system to see if you ACTUALLY want to compete here and have the drive to make comics. Remember, you HAVE to go through three rounds in this tournament. If you can't be bothered to take on the filter, you probably aren't bothered to commit fully to the event. Simple as.It's just three pages, dude.
>>7897016Who created this OC? Ok I might do it but probably am filtered.
>>7897017Houndclops is a former contestant from CRAB 4 last year. He was elected by the community to be the "Pit Champion", aka the filter you have to face if you want to join CRAB. It's been a thing since CRAB 3 that a prior tourney's contestant would be used as a Pit Champion.
>>7897015Yeah, the tourney’s whole point is an artist drawing their OC facing off against another OC, and if you can’t be bothered to represent your opponent then you just aren’t going to get very far in the rounds. People enter a bunch of different kinds of characters and there’s no telling who you’ll be matched against until the round starts. Usually people are matched by their equivalent art skill levels so that’s something that someone can use to try predicting where they are or who’d they match against. Since last year there’s a phase where participants draw all the characters on their team so if you really are only looking to draw characters you want to draw and get free art of your OC without paying it back for your opponents or team you’re not going to flourish in CRAB.
>>7897021>>7897042Ok thanks for the explanation. It seems like a way bigger time and work investment than I originally thought. I'm probably better off spending that time working on my own comics.
>>7897015Draw your own char and have that ugly ass oc be off screened in 3 pages. Lets see if these comicfags let you in
>>7897054Aw that's too bad, I thought your character looked cool

POV: You're at Jump Festa 2025 and got a picture of Junko in her Ryuko Matoi cosplay.
>>7897600>Ah another participant in the tournament>. . .>She elects not to ask him any questions..
>>7899506>Interview? Yeah, I'll get back to you once I snap this fucker's vomit-green arm off... UNNFF--
>>7897054>>7897054Yeah word of warning it's a popularity contest so if you aren't really good at art or have some meme/coomer character design you'll probably just find it annoying and like you have to pander to some discord clique for votes. I think people who just like to make comics are better off making their own story/characters.
>>7900051I'd say it's the opposite. The tournament is actually cracked some popular NewGrounders who joined last time. And to be fair, the winners of the tournaments have always been the people who told the best stories or had the coolest designs rather than simple meme energy. I think you're just someone bitter from the prior tourneys who also just couldn't jell with the community.
>>7900096you kinda proved my point with that response honestly. You shouldn't need to "jell" with anybody in a 4chan event and "best stories" is subjective and isn't something you can judge based on a peer vote (which just reinforces the clique bias)It's fine to shill your pseudo discord event but its a shame that it's still just as flawed as the first time it was run.
>>7900120By virtue of advertising on 4chan you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for mentally defectivelosers and it shouldn’t be surprising when you get a couple.An informal collaborative comic event is a neat idea, but the social aspect is kinda gay for sure.
>>7900120>and "best stories" is subjectiveOkay retard what should people vote on then? "Hurr durr durr that doesn't count because its subjective!" Bitchtits EVERYTHING is subjective, especially in art you stupid pseudointellectual cunt. Yeah, some of the round votes have been bullshit, but get the fuck outta here with this faggotry.
>>7900051>If you aren't really good art arteven if youre better than permabeg if you don't play nice with their cliques you still wont get votesyou could be absolute dogshit but "jell right" or make a "good" story which shows off their characters and you'd winthey're biased and don't let anyone who's not participating vote so every single voter is compromised.
I don't know about other people but I generally voted for people who I think followed the prompts and put forward better or funnier stories regardless of their art skill or personality. There are definitely people who vote against entries of people they don't like though, even if the opponent's entry makes serious mistakes themselves.Voting itself really varies too."I don't vote for things that don't have narratives">votes for something that has no narrative against one that did"I don't vote for incomplete work">votes for work that isn't complete but the art is miles ahead in skill compared to the complete one>"You didn't follow the theme or showcase your opponent, I don't want to vote for that">votes for an entry that does either or bothI notice that it is good for learning how to understand an audience in the moment. Great entries don't necessarily win in CRAB and winning teams are ultimately products of luck in the end.CRAB itself is an opportunity to get to know other artists who may be in the same skill bracket as you are, who can focus enough to make a comic or game or whatever else in a timeframe of 2 weeks per round (even superbegs which automatically propels them above any nodraw critic by merit of effort), and can put aside some ego to give other characters and artists the time of day than their own vanity projects 24/7. Everyone obviously is excited about their own characters but what I notice is that there's feedback of artists tossing their characters at each other and being interested IN them for one reason or another. Some people get inspired, some people learn things, some people go 'well that was interesting' and go on their way.And some people don't. It's not for everyone. But if it sounds interesting enough to (you), the person who's reading this, it's not bad to at least try it out if you can.
>>7900412>and don't let anyone who's not participating voteYou say this like there wouldn't be some dude with 12 alts voting for himself if this wasn't the case.
>>7900755Why not make it so spectators that post art can vote too?
>>7901256>Ann checks her notes and rulebook"Not sure the bench system is still in effect but maybe we could create a follow along peanut galley, the requirement is you have to enter a character"(and draw in a crab related once more for each round and of course read through the actual entries to decide who you liked more)"Would you be interested in that idea?">>7896847Or maybe skullgirl-anon will make a return?Entirely up to our new GameMaster Marionette who'll be pulling the strings (and doing extra work unless an anon with an actual character makes the request I doubt it'd be worth the trouble) "I am in need of a co-announcer..if there's only one person who joins the audience it could beYOU"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsbpTJRf-gY"Find out next time! on Crab 5"

>>7902406>>7903557Enjoyable entries, the both of you! Approved!>>7903753I understand that! CRAB is a bit demanding depending on the amount of work one is willing to put. Plenty of artists have pushed themselves hard to really shine here, which I know had an affect on their concurrently running comics and their update schedules.Quite a number of older crabs have in days past shared their real comics while participating in the tourney, having the experience sure is a boon to have and a few people find new readers among the ranks of artists too!>>7903856If nothing else it's an experience to have!>>7901283To answer my wonderful commentator here, there are other roles for people who may not be fully committed to being a fulltime contestant!Spectators don't have the grueling task of matching against other crab contestants but are welcome to use their OC as an observer or audience for the tournament! You're welcome to react to other crab entries and characters, provided you stick to your peanut gallery!I'm fielding an idea that Spectators could also VOTE for entries after a round is over, provided they fulfill some requirements for voting. It's again entirely optional but for you shy people in the audience it could be fun!

>>7908695Nothing really, its just in previous years there's been at least one or two people with cute characters that drop out before even finishing the first round. Last year they didn't even get that far, one of the cute cartoon people dropped the second the teams were revealed.

>>7931489>Welcome to CRVB>We've got a heavy hitter here folks! According to my notes you are the child of one of the prior contestants, have you mentally prepared yourself to compete against your own father if it comes down to it?
>>7931639
>>7931489>Sr. Sameface, the dutchman who killed crab with his clique.Hope you have fun over on tumblr.
>>7932542What's the lore on this? I wanted to join but tumblr faggotry killing fun sounds like the usual suspectswhat if we enter as our own clique and do clique wars
>>7932542it seems my superiority has caused some controversy
>>7932542LOL Van's such a showboater he sperged out over some retarded schizo mexican portraying him as a gorilla because "das waycist n sheeet" but changed his discord pfp to a gorilla
>>7932562he's just a guy who's been here since the beginning
Holy fuck I'm cumming buckets™ KEEP EM CUMMING MOARMOARRRRRR RIGHT NOW SO I CAN KEEP BUSTINGGGGG HOLY SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>>7932942HHHHNGGGG IMMA COOOOOOOOOM I'M COOOOOOMING ALL OVER THE PLACE OOH GOOOOOD
>>7932562The short version is a habitual slanderer who manufatured drama in nearly every tournament and using his clique to chase away a good portion of crab's more talented artists. The karma being that crab is now desperate enough to start recruiting on tumblr of all places. >>7932694You do know that some of those people you chased off are working professionally now right? Your sperging out over random bullshit costed crab industry connections. I wonder how it feels to know that the people you hate are all doing better than you.
>>7933093It's /crab2/ drama isn't it?
>>7933093>u do know that some of those people you chased off are working professionally now right?Damn, I chased people away? The only person that left because of me was pink anon who left after I told her "shit yourself".>Your sperging out over random bullshit costed crab industry connections.Proof? This is just vagueposting.>I wonder how it feels to know that the people you hate are all doing better than you.I don't think about them. This is all just vagueposting with 0 proof. >>7933162I'd expect so
>>7933202Oh come now Mr. Sameface, you have to do better than that. Crab 2? What? Do you think I'm Fred, Ironically enough the little bugger still somehow managed to be weirdly successful in his own way. Apparently anyone can be a conservative grifter.
>>7933224>Mr. SamefaceIf anything, my style is incredibly inconsistent>C2?Yeah, again, the only person I had problems with was Pink Anon, for the rest I am too conflictavoidant like the (king) kike I am.>grifterwho what where? Stop vagueposting, retard. Either come with proof or grab a crab and hang it onto your balls
>>7933245My bad, with just how attached you were to Sr. Doritos cock I couldn't tell the two of you apart.

>>7933262The funny thing is I could drop a link and kill these fuckers in a heartbeat but I'm enjoying this too much.
>>7933255>couldn't tell you apartHOW? When did van draw trad? Are you sub 80 IQ?

Y'all are still doing this shit? Don't you ever get tired? At least improve your work. Damn.

I see that my superiority has caused some controversy.
>>7933419you're almost 40
>I see that my superiority has caused some controversy.
Is that the best that you can come up with? Personal attacks with no substance? Please. I could care less about what Sr. Doritos flying monkeys who can hardly draw think. Nah, I'm here to enjoy the schadenfreude of watching you dumbasses fall apart. Except for the current GM, I feel sorry for her, having to babysit you all in whatever thread you go to.

>>7933439The degeneration of society >The 1st generation fights hard and creates something unique but many are sacrificed in the process>The 2nd benefits and takes risks during a time of abundance riding on smooth roads the previous paved for them. Brag about the hardships they struggled through. When the first generation dies out these will be the ones who grab onto power and never let go, living within an outdated and optimistic view applying liberal additions the first generation would never consider>The 3rd generation is neutral and forgettable disillusioned by the previous corruption preferring to keep to themselves and fade out as things are not bad enough that they feel the need to take action. Hate to sell out and accept money. The most entertaining and detached group, inspiring to some after them but ultimately they are ineffective the last hurray before decay sets in as they realize too late the first generation begins to die out>Under new management 4th generation tries to live within nostalgia of better days as the world falls apart around them, living vicariously through the last generation's stories and their own fleeting good times while allowing more gimmicks burdened by low time preferences they ultimately seal their fate despite having the opportunity to right the ship>The 5th generation realizes everything shall fall and opts out or hides behind layers of irony as they simply do not have the numbers or the will to overthrow their masters.

>Tumblr recruitment How the hell did you guys burn so many bridges that you have been reduced to begging Tumblrtards to join your tournament kek
>>7933093>You do know that some of those people you chased off are working professionally now right?Name one person who is.>>7933404At least you stopped over-abusing that poor gradient tool.
>>7933506Hey if it brings in more anons instead of retards from NG or Tumblr I'd gladly accept it
>>7933404wtf I thought this was just the GM shitposting
>>7933755Why does he bother you so much? It just looks like someone who draws and got tired of clique bullshit from my perspective. Am I missing something?
>>7933488You dont know who your opponent is going to be, its to avoid people that go "ermmm my opponent is fucking ugly so I won't draw it" the point is to focus on what stories you can make with the little resources you get. Ultimately it's a tolerance check.>>7933589Thanks nigga
>>7933602Literally me
>all this complaining about expanding to Tumblr while It's just throwing out a net and see if people biteThe amount of mental retardation and lack of looking further than the length of your nose with some anons here is astounding.4chan as a site, especially for looking for other artists, just fucking sucks. For recruitment fishing, the site has in general been through it, we've been here for almost 5 years. Stop pretending this site is the same as it was 5-10 years ago. It has significantly decreased in quality and you guys know it.It's legit filled with primarily schizo's and in this thread you see how many anons are just here to shit on it rather than perhaps try and join, no-drawing crabs that just want to pull people down. Or - in a worse scenario - people who had their ego's bruised because they lost and decided to showcase cringe bitch behaviour like >>7933419 come back crawling 2+ YEARS after they left to hate and "troll" on the thread, pretending that they are not mad as if it doesn't make them more pathetic than they were when they left.FYI, that guy, Xaylen, is a notorious shitter who got pariah'd in many art communities on 4chan because he is a walking Dunning-Kruger effect who thinks he can draw well, but still can't get past chicken scratching while thinking he's wiser than he actually is (very retarded). He's still bitter about things and blames it on others without looking at himself. Don't take anything he says or does serious. He's stupid.If you think you're better, join. It's pretty fun and you don't have to put a lot of effort in it either. You can just remain a thread-only like others in the past did.>"I don't join, it'd be a waste of my time"Yet you're in this thread, regularly posting, coming back every possible time you have to complain about a tournament you find a "waste of time".Just draw, kids.
>>7933811Who actually cares about the TCG though? That's a pretty retarded reason to be shitting the thread for 2 years desu and I would feel sorry for him If it's just because of that
>>7933814yeah I guess we're all just bored.
>>7933811A crab tcg actually sounds pretty sweet. Any more info on that?>>7933812>a walking running Kruger who thinks he can draw well. From what im seeing in the thread his art isn't great but I wouldn't call it bad. Probably high beg to low int.>Bitter about thingsWhat things?
>>7933817Not being the gamemaster, claimed it was rigged when he had no chance in the first place
>>7933818Was it rigged? Every 4chan circle has been telling me not to join crab because of the cliques and rigging. Is it just this guy going around spreading nonsense?
>>7933817The project is in hibernation AFAIK although it could be revived if somebody is interested enough in it
>>7933820rigging is pretty much impossible in /crab/ itself since the votes are all public and you can't have alts join in to vote. I don't think he seriously claimed the GM election was rigged either
>>7933820The 2 best animators of crab and some presented themselves for the gamemaster run at the same time, it was over before it even began.The thing you should actually worry about is the fact that very active people that do a lot of art of their characters interacting with others become popular and some people vote with the bias of knowing a character more than the other.
>>7933823He thinks the one counting votes lied about it. It was secret to avoid people going "why didnt you vote for ME!?!?" But niw we have people saying "It was RIGGED"
>>7933827Honestly I think it should be disclosed who voted for who just to unmask those who lied about it
>>7933821That's unfortunate, I hope someone steps up.>>7933827Thank you for not vague posting. I take it "Dorito man" counted the votes?
>>7933831Yes
>>7933829>Lied about itAre you saying you don't actually know? Did someone double check Dorito man?
>>7933834People didn't want to know, the option was thrown at em, to disclose all the votes to see who voted for who. Me think some lied about who they voted for, but I'm on team show em just to see.
>>7933839So no? Sorry, I'm going to pass this is sus as hell. Good luck with your tcg.
>>7933834>>7933839he did post a voter timeline
>rigging votes The rigging goes deeper than guys are thinking. The ingroup loves to pass around the best artist to themselves under the guise of "skill base matchmaking" and this has been going for years. So if you ever wonder why certain artist always has consistent """good luck""" with getting high tier artist despite being noticeably worse than their opponents ( A little birdie once told me Ardi's good for doing this to throw out a name) then now you know.
>>7933855>The ingroup loves to pass around the best artist to themselves under the guise of "skill base matchmaking" and this has been going for yearsYou know this is just utter bullshit when each tournament, especially the first 3, the GM would release his reasons why he makes match-ups, it was never about "skill base matchmaking", he cared more if a match "seemed fun/interesting in concept" to him than just throwing powerful people against each other.The GM is the only one deciding the matches and the teams, no one else.. It's ridiculous to cry about it when only 1 person and 1 person alone makes those decisions.
>>7933839Couldn't he have just posted screenshots of the votes with the names and pfps covered and the timestamp in tact? Why was outing everyone the only other option?
>>7933863If people already claim it's rigged, what's gonna stop others from claiming the screenshots are fake when the names are covered?
>>7933864Thats why you include discord's date and time. Very difficult to fake well.
>>7933861NTA But last year I've seen some contestants get away with ignoring prompts of their matches due to "pretty privilege" or some convoluted bullshit in-character reasoning (which comes in hand with being "ingroup").It's OK to admit that /crab/ has problems, guys.
>>7933868Some crabs are just too prideful to admit that they're not perfect and would rather blame anyone and everyone else.
The reason the votes were anon were to prevent voter harassment >b... but I just wanna talk with themTHATS VOTER HARASSMENTIts over anyways, new gm, new crab.
>>7933870It's almost like relying on one guy was a bad idea. >>7933863This is a very good point. Why was outing people the only option on the table?
>>7933872>Why was outing people the only option on the table?Because that's the only option that the accussor gave, because he clearly wants to "talk" to the people who didn't vote for him.
>>7933875Didn't Xay ask that G be given the secretary account so he could confirm the votes?
>>7933877And Van publically offered to hand it over to G to confirm, and G said he didn't need to nor cared to do so.
>>7933872Dont be dumb, xaylen only wants to be the secret winner the entire time. No amout of proof will fix it. He burned a freindship over some stupid bullshit as his ego couldnt take it
>>7933877G didnt give a shit and trusted the account holder. He still dosnt give a shit and still trusts the account holder
>>7933879Still outs >>7933875 as a liar. Why is building this image of Xay so important? It comes off like damage control instead of anything genuine.
IDK I think one could publish the votes without the usernames with the timestamps, everyone knows who they themselves voted for
>itt: shitters trying to convince others that they're not shitters and that the other guys are actually the shitters you guise
>was tied at 3rd>left the community after some conflict about the card game>comes back 2 weeks later, claiming the elections were rigged>only candidate to cry "rigged" legitimately>only evidence he has is "a lot of people *said* they voted for me">claim so ridiculous, even the former GM refused to check it even when the vote organizer offered it to him>still bitter to this day and spends every new edition just lurking and shitting up the /crab/ threadsGrow up.
>>7933889different shitter anonim the shitter who has to actually finish my entries
>>7933885Thank you for talking about solutions instead of sperging about Xay. I really don't care about that drama nonsense but obviously we need something more robust than one dude.
If even voting has been taking place on discord, why are you faggots hosting this shit on /ic/? I don't get the purpose of these threads beside having a dedicated drama thread to vent in whenever things don't go you guys' way.
i kinda miss rando threadanons like bear
>>7933894tourney votes happen here
>>7933896Ditron and Bear were awesome. I wonder how both of them are doing now?
>>7933889Damn, did he fuck your mom too?
I think that future GM elections could happen in threads>anon chooses a trip code>anon announces the trip code to the election manager>the trip code is put up on the discord/NG/pastebin/whatever as a legit voter>anon casts their ballot using that trip code anonymouslythis way all the votes are public and anonymous. The election manager already knows who everyone voted for, but this makes the votes completely public.
>>7933901That's actually pretty ingenious.
Reminder that the thing with Xaylen was already 2 years ago. We already had another election 4 months that was done through Discord and was anonymous and given us a new GM.
>>7933901or alternatively anons could make throwaway emails and those could be permitted to answer to a google form or something like that.
>>7933820>Is it just this guy going around spreading nonsense?Yes. Xay the gay is sour grapes.
>>7933904Does it matter? Van should have never sperged out over Xay. Crab absolutely deserves some level of transparency and whining about the person asking for it will always be the retarded stance.
>>7933901Big brain
I wanna see the results of the poll too, no particular reason...
>>7933916I actually liked the blacked out names idea, if anything it will put the whole xay thing to rest or at the very least give us a better cudgel than vans word to push him away with.
>>7933908Oh, shut up Xay. Nobody owes you a damn thing, and your dumb ass thinking you would unequivocally beat out every other contestant is delusion and cope.
>>7933929Retarded take.
>>7933934Retarded man child.The only reason you shifted focus from Rock to Van is because Van got featured on Newgrounds. You've always been a petty, jealous faggot.
>>7933935This sounds like insane cope. Have you considered that maybe Xay actually came across a discrepancy in the vote and that's his gripe? Occam's razor. If we knew for sure things were legit then maybe you could claim that but isn't the whole point of this discussion that two years later we still don't know if rock really won?
>>7933940Squandale Dingle here, I was fully prepared to lose, still want to know da votes too though
>>7933946A refusal would be more telling than anything at this point. It seems like most crabs want to see the votes so long as they stay anonymous.
>>7933947I don't care If they show all the names either. It would suck If I put all the effort into gming to then be fake, but I'm 101% sure it wasn't rigged. I just want to see the votes for the drama to end and see who voted for me too hehehe.Also, just saw a guy with the worse hairstyle I've ever seen while typing this
>>7933960Genuinely if it was rigged I think they should let you back into crab and exile Van. Kinda his fault everything turned sour if he put you in without any support.
>>7933940>Have you considered that maybe Xay actually came across a discrepancy in the vote and that's his gripe?"Discrepancy?" You never had the vote totals Xay. The only thing you had to go off of was you harassing your supposed friends to ask if they voted for you. You really think none of them just told you "yes" to be polite, or lied because you're the only contestant in the running that's petty enough to pull that shit and they just didn't want to deal with you? The rest of us can trust rock won, it's just your arrogant, narcissistic ass that can't believe it.Reality check: you had one year of /crab/ under your belt at the end of /crab/3 and didn't even finish your round 3, AND you got laughed out of /hyw/. There was never a chance that you were going to win GM over a veteran that submitted an animated proposal.
>>7933968Nah brah I'm good
>>7933968Most pathetic samefag. Van's been doing more for this tournament in weeks than you did for your entire time during the year you competed.
>/crab3/>saying people's names is a massive no-no and in-of-itself caused a lot of drama>/crab5/>everyone's dropping names left and right like they're over dresden
>>7933973So trve...
>>7933973Besides "that middle-aged narcissist," what are people supposed to call Xay right now?
>>7933972You know, thos guy does alot of work being both a hero and a victim at the same time whole also juggling all these narcissists who are in the room with him right now and totally care about his newgrounds account.
>>7933978idk, niggerfaggot maybe. idk
So watchu looking for in crab5, boyos?
>>7933986Nah the other guy is the black guy who draws bara
>>7933984I think you had a stroke.
>>7933995My bad, trying to comprehend his position is tiring. Genuinely what is the issue with releasing the votes? Wouldn't it make Xay look like an idiot? Sticking to this weird stance of not releasing them only seems to make van look bad.
>>7934015I don't think there's a problem DESU but things don't happen immediately
>>7934015I'd be inclined to agree with you if the guy championing it wasn't a huge faggot, and yes that is relevant.Xay went and asked people if they voted for him. That's already overstepping. Assuming he's being honest about the answers he got, that means he'll know that he was lied to. Either way he'll feel wronged. If Van releases the votes with names blurred out, then Xay can just counteract by claiming that some of the screencaps are faked, then demand an audit of users (or at least the ones who voted for him so he can find out who lied to him). At that point, you've given a petty narcissist targets to harass, which isn't good in any case. We can tell this is exactly what that faggot would do because he's rather desperately trying to tear down Van now, since he has no other targets.I don't want to talk over Van and say anything like "he can take it," since I don't know what's going on in his life, but if he's left sperging at him, then the dynamic is heavily favored in Van's favor. Anyone can look at the two and see that Xay is clearly in the wrong and just being a sockpuppeting faggot, and Van's public enough that people are going to defend him. Not everyone has that protection.Realistically, Xay was nevr going to win this year. His performance in /crab/3 wasn't great, so he didn't show he was fully committed. The only other things he had to show for his management skills was coopting /icocs/ and the tcg. /icocs/ relied on too many convoluted gimmicks (the better artist of the two it recruited, Quaint, was eliminated early in), and the TCG was ran like shit and developed too slowly for what it was.Meanwhile rock handled the actual recruitment part of /icocs/, already had more than one year of successful participation under his belt including a headlining role, and put in the effort to animate his nomination. I didn't vote for rock, but can very clearly see there was a snowball's chance in Hell Xay was going to win.
>>7934015>>7934083P.S. The grand irony is that he wants to bitch about cliques, but he cared more about trying to worm his way into the server's VC group than actually work on anything, the same group he's saying conspired against him.
>>7934083Let them burn, let them with their own drama, as long as it doesnt bother the others its good
Hey! I saw you on Reddit last night!!
>>7934083This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. The story I was told is that five crabs volunteered the information without prompting and a sixth was given out by Van. If a crab came forward and claimed xay was pressuring them over this sure but without that you're basing your whole argument on future sight and might as well be bad fiction.
>>7934151>I was told some secondhand lnowledge about some vague "information," also you can't judge my character based on my behavior and current actions but I can speculate out of my ass that I won!Try harder Xay.
>>7934151You keep posting that supposedly people reached out to you saying they voted for you, but you haven't given an ounce of proof for that. It's your word against Van's, and Van isn't the one who entered this thread trying to character assassinate someone.
>>7934166Idk, the claim that van broke the anonymity before the whole debacle seems pretty specific and important. Can anyone verify that?
>>7934176See >>7934171 and stop typing like a limpdicked cuck
>>7934180Same anonymity defense applies. Or are you asking me to put a list of names in the thread?
>>7934187I'm asking you to post just the messages of people saying they voted for you, with names blacked out but with timestamp active, with a few comments before and after to show context.You've thrown a fit for over a year but haven't even given a damn thing to show for it.
>>7934187>are you asking me>meYou are so stupid dude
>>7934202Yes me. I was the one asked for something I dont have. What is your point? That's not quite the gotcha you think it is.>>7934192This assumes alot. First that Xay even has that since as anons have mentioned he spends all his time in vc, and second that he either did or would give me that info. Not that it matters since we do have a part of his story we can verify. Did van break the anonymity of the vote beforehand. If true its a mark in favor of Xays story.
I love that this thread can be goofy and have fun shit to respond to and then out of nowhere, the same fucking drama happens for the umpteenth time. Crabs. Just keep on going and ignore the drama. The longer this goes, the more this thread is gonna be filled with shit. Xay. I don’t know man. It’s been almost 2 years and you’re still fuming and bitter over this petty drama. Go do something else. You wanna prove you’re better than us. Go out and do something big. Stop focusing on us. It’s like Van and the crabs are always on your mind
>>7934207I'm seeing a lot of mental gymnastics, Xay, but no screencaps. Your entire story was a lie, wasn't it?
>>7934227Dude...>>7934217I don't know if Xay won but we certainly lost.
>>7934245Same anon as >>7934227. See pic.(You)s only track the current session. You're not nearly as smart as you think.
erm this is kinda gay
>>7933877This alone is proof that Xaylen just wants the names of everyone who didn't vote for him.
>>7934268honestly it's a bit gay to ask the GM to tell who voted for who. you can already count who voted just based on the niggas posting about which guy they voted, just count it yourself bro. and who gives a fuck about which jackass voted for who in the third tournament, we're already in the fifth fucking tournament, regardless of who the fuck actually was right it's not gonna change the fact that the victor was already chosen two years go. what, you want the vote to be changed after the fact? boo fucking hoo, its a lost fucking cause and you're just being a faggot crying about it to this day. legitimately nobody gives a fuck about this anymore. complain about something that's actually a problem instead of some other gay interpersonal drama
Hilarious that thread has made some faggot into a fail guy so you overlook that their clique of stagnate losers has run their ego wars into the ground and is now begging Tumblr to save them.
>>7934373You tried to be in that clique Xay.
>>7934373I just want to make fun comics and this is a great place to do that, I even hope to improve more this year.Remember, not everything is a clique, some just want to draw and improve while having fun
"Yo, yo, hollup! Don't clean up the janitor yet! Stick's going for a record!"
>>7934400radical
>>7933901Release the fluxstien filesThe people demand to know the truth
>>7934695>>7934612These new chads do not give a single fuck about oldcrab drama
>>7933823How do votes actually work if the art people make is all spread across different sites? How are the votes tallied up?
>>7934832Master list with links to every entry during voting time that's distributed every round.A vote is counted by the contestant who posts an image they drew of their crab that's new with their vote. The image is the artist's verification for themselves and legitimizes their vote, which is collected and tallied.
>>7934832I see now that there has been no general consensus on how to *effectively and honestly* tally up the votes in years' past. I don't see any point in joining with the intention of claiming the winning spot. I'm just gonna make art, and if people like it, then they like it. If they don't, then they don't. Not my problem if I win or lose.
>>7934846This is the best outlook to have. Winning the tournament isn't really a flex because the 'reward' is fake RP stuff anyway, the reward is more what you get from participating which is interacting with other artists and having fun or stupid shit to laugh about.Though for contestants on round votes that's much easier to verify by contestants since that isn't anonymous so generally the round votes aren't contested.

>So.. to my other commentators.. now that the thread has reached it's end what do I do now? is my job finished?.. what? what do you mean my microphone is on?
>>7893494put my oc the 'pants in ts
>>7936547Do a three page comic or whatever defeating this thing >>7893497 and sure
deadline in a week this is fine I'm fine Everything is fine :)))
>>7936916Anon even if you miss the deadline you get put on a waitlist to join in case someone drops out which does happen every tournament. Waitlisted people still get prompts because you join with the points you earn from doing the round prompts to replace the person who dropped.The only thing you're really missing is the ground floor of teambuilding if you don't make the May 17th date in time. Waitlisters are put on whatever team needs them out the gate instead of helping make up a team identity when they form. Usually that's help naming the team and getting to work on the team art stuff.
>>7936632>>7936547You should draw your pants defeating this one>>7933506
>>7936932I wanna hit the ground running. I've never participated in any sort of art fight before, so I'll do my best to get this done in time
>>7937733Alright anon good luck, I'll root for you.If the thread dies before you finish there should be a new thread that'll get posted up, hopefully it gets linked in this one so you can hop on over.
>>7908376I hope this new person still comes to crab
Don’t let him back in!It’s Dea-Anon!
>>7938040let him cook
New thread: >>>/i/832006
>>7938006you are not allowed back in you gross piece of shit. you were kicked out for a reason. You are not missed and no one ever has anything good to say about you
>>7938000Yeah, your art looks sick this time around.Unfortunately >>7938275 is right. You're probably not going to be let back in after creeping.
>creeping You let pedophiles into your tournament get a grip kek
>>7938294Given too many chances if i recallFucked up on all of them
>>7938040>>7938275>>7938313>>7938340aint this the same tournament that had hitler plotlines rapists and loli witches?is this the tumblr influencewhat the fuck did this dea nigga do? some irl degeneracy?
Rejecting a guy after he does a 5 page comic for that busted ass cyclops oc is a dick move.
>be me looking at the other OC refs>moralities range from chaotic neutral to chaotic evil>my OCs being lawful good and neutral good giving "call my mommy" vibes by comparison
>>7938083Good. Never post this garbage on my board again.
>>7938428He knew he was kicked from the tournament, ignoring that he was kicked and trying to sneak back in by doing the pit comic doesn’t magically absolve him of anything. He was a creep to his own teammate last year plus to other contestants, and despite being given generous amounts of chances to change he kept to his behavior. If anything the old GM let that go on far too long before finally rooting him out.If this was a solo oct it wouldn’t matter but the team aspect matters. Nobody should have to deal with that on their team.
>>7938495what does creep meanwhat did he actually do?
>>7938428you're only allowed to be a dickhead and a creep if you are a part of the clique
>>7938528>dickhead>creep>cliqueall vagueposting if ur banning someone you should be able to say why clearly
>>7938528It hurts how right you are, anon...
>>7938531Why would people leak the stuff that happens inside? Honest question.
>>7938531/crab/ always vagueposts whenever something makes the ingroup look bad. Look at how much they argued with that other guy and explained he was banned for. /crab/ fucking LOVES drama fagging. But the moment people ask about what their ingroup they always conveniently stop posting as if the order came directly from the discord. They don't want newcomers seeing what sort of faggots they are before they can squeeze as much artwork out of them as possible. >>7938550>leak Interesting word choice. Why is it a "leak" to talk about already resolved issues if you were 100% justified in removing bad actor? Seems like you people really, REALLY don't want onlookers to formulate their own opinions and questions your actions.
Huh how many people have been banned from crab? thought that wasnt really a thing
>>7938550so you can say why someone is a faggot and why you dont wanna deal with themif people think someones cliqueposting you can easily shut them down same with this thing>>7933901this is a good idea>>7933969>>7934083you can say whoevers asking for details is a faggot but it still makes you people look dumb because it comes down to"trust me bro they're bad cause I said so"if they are actually pissants then light them up with actual actions actual evidencevagueposting is gay
>>7938558you seem like a dramabaiting faggot with an axe to grind cause they didn't let you in their club or you lost a vote or something but since they arent coming with anything specific I cant say youre wrong
>>7938499imagine talking about your day and the guy brings up something your wife did unprompted idk. or like trying to cozy up cause you're single. that's all I remember
>being invasive about a few of the girls in the tournament including the wife of one of the contestants>made weird or offputting shit featuring people's OCs>impersonating the GM>ignoring people when they tell him to knock that shit off>didn't even finish his entries last year when he did participate they all give up at the last fourthThe fact he just tried weaseling back in without even offering a half-assed apology is just a cherry on top
>pearl cultches about females being harassed but sex pest >female GM welcomes back pedo artist in with open armsyou niggers are so full of shit that your eyes are brown
>>7938634i keep seeing this shit about a pedo artist but i don't remember seeing pedo shit from anyone in the tourney
Why are all of you so gay and retarded
>>7938428>>7938528t. Xay still assblasted.Dae got kicked because he wouldn't leave the girl artists alone.Pretty weird that you want to identify with that, and that you collaborated with a groomer to run another tournament.
>>7938630based specific callout and fairsounds bad i say fuck em>>7938634what "pedo artist" vagueposting faggotry
>>7938639>>7938655>what "pedo artist" It's not a secret /crab/ had a contestant that was a loli mage in a leotard its weird people are feinting ignorance about it now that tumblrinas are being recruited >>7938654>groomer Hold the fuck up, If he's a groomer then what the fuck is /crab/? Do you just admit that /crab/ has been letting underage girls into a discord ran tournament know for drawing porn?
>>7938663>calling crab tumblrinas for letting someone enter with a girl witch character who's weirdest thing they did was have /dbs/ goku appear in their entriesprojecting fag, shoo shoo
>>7938663>If he's a groomer then what the fuck is /crab/? Do you just admit that /crab/ has been letting underage girlsUh, no you illiterate retard. I said "for another tournament." Fred's a groomer and you collaborated with him Xay.The whole "you guys let a pedo back in" is just retarded. Both of us know who you're talking about; someone who said that people in his city know that some brothels have what (you)'re looking for. It's such an unbelievably shamelessly shitty stretch on your part to say that. It's not even logically sound, and it's extra funny since you're an openly-admitted cuck at middle age because you're so pussy-starvedUnironically, kill yourself.
>>7938664Nice deflection but I didn't call you tumblrinas. I pointed out that /crab/ implied that lolimage (pic related) wasn't real now that you're recruiting people from tumblr. But back to business. Tell me about the underage kids you let into your tournament if some faggot was able to groom people in your server (you'll words not mine).
You all sound like faggot pedophiles not gonna lie
this is quite the thread of all threads here
>>7938676>Tell me about the underage kidsMask slip moment
>>7938683I want to see more OCs and less of a fag pearl clutching, anyone got art?
>>7938683the drama was always more entertaining than the submissions
Starting to see why this shit is moving back to the dead art board.
>>7938703Could always make another ic thread yourself lmao
>>7938703All they're done was guarantee that even less people reads their ugly ass /beg/slop
>>7938706Sour grapes, man. Sour grapes.
>>7938710It is sour grapes to be /beg/ forever. you know this well.
>>7938720t. >>7933404
>>7938670Shitter didn't respond. BTFO
>>7938727went to go laugh at your roster
>>7938743You literally let men have sex with your wife Xay.
>>7938558>Seems like you people really, REALLY don't want onlookers to formulate their own opinionsBruh, its not like it's a big secret, just join and ask. The main thing is to avoid trolls knowing anything, If you want you can take the "innocent" people that have been kicked and see what happens.
>>7938795But you already got an answer so whatevs
>>7938757Btw anon do you have a ref sheet? I assume you're already in?
I do
>>7938757>>7938828>"The duo of Sonata and Aero, I understand Aero is rooting for Sonata. Which opponent would you be afraid to see him fight if any?"
>>7939096>"I dunno, that crazy leopard girl gives me the creeps..."
