>>42764980 Previous threadWelcome to the conclusion of the 2025 Princess /mlp/ pageant, where your favorite ladies from across all aspects of the franchise be it canon, fandom, or memery were judged and selected for who is most deserving of being crowned board royaltyCongratulations to this year's Miss /mlp/ 2025: that peppy pink professional party pony who's always ready with a joke and a song when you need it the most, the Element of Laughter and the princess of FUN, PINKIE PIE! Standing with her in the winner's circle is fellow smile enthusiast Minuette, the friendly happy-go-lucky dental mare standing ready with the toothbrushes once you've all finished your victory cake. Alongside our beautiful Bronze Medal winner Pear Butter and our wonderful 4th place Roseluck, and all our winners in the Mini-Brackets and Royal Round Robin, let's all give one more round of applause to this year's board royalty!This thread will likely serve as the last of the tournament unless it hits bump limit more quickly than expected, but I suspect Miss /mlp/ 2025 will now be winding down as we celebrate our victors.The Post-Pageant Questionnaire is still ongoing if you would like to offer any feedback, commentary, or suggestions to Miss /mlp/ pageants, there are a lot of topics added to it this year that would be open for discussion as well, though I intend to let the poll run for a couple of days to gather votes before revealing the results. For those interested, the Post-Pageant poll has now been updated with exhibition matches pitting our newest Miss /mlp/ up against her predecessors if you'd like to vote how Pinkie stacks up against the previous winners! Even if you've already filled it out, you need only re-open the form and fill out the new questions then re-submit.Post-Pageant Poll: https://forms.gle/pTbpvZyQBUnaibHfAhttps://forms.gle/pTbpvZyQBUnaibHfAhttps://forms.gle/pTbpvZyQBUnaibHfAAnd as always, thank you all for making this contest what it is
>>42766886First for dashie
>>42766893Actually last for Dashie

TRIXIE Sweeeeeeeep!!! Next year is her year! (Yes, Her!) Call her background pony/secondary character, she sweeps! Bluer than Minuette, bitchier than Limestone - She's the Greatest, the most Powerful - Trixie, Trixie, Trixie is the mare to beat. No other mare's snowpity can compete!

>>42767017Next year is going to be intense>Trixie's back>Celestia, Fluttershy, Rarity, Lyra still inI am praying for a Rarity Trixie finale I can only imagine the shitflinging
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jyJh6-X_mc This video makes me laugh every single time I've watched it and it is suitable for a Pinkie Pie victory.
>>42767023>Trixie>winthat worthless skidmark of a bum?lmao
>Fluttershy, Rarity, Trixie, Lyra, Celestia, Redheart, Cheerilee all in next yearit's gonna be a bloodbath.
>>42767037>Trixie>winI can't help but notice your insinuation that Trixie would beat Rarity if they went up against each other.
>Even though you were late to the party, you were still the life of itCongrats on making it up there, Ponkfags.
>final had the same margins as the brexit vote
>>42767078>final had the same margins as the brexit vote>Donk was the #1 Seed this year>Pinkie beat DonkWe need to go deeper
>>4276694410/10, maybe 9/10 at the lowest. Pinkie winning after all this time made me cry and the salt and fighting flying around just made it feel like home more than anything. The finale was one of the most tense and beautiful things I've seen happen on this board.
>>42766969Thank you so much for this, I'm both laughing a lot and extremely touched. Having our manly tears be referenced (I was like at least half of the posts talking about crying I think, wouldn't be surprised if I was all of them honestly) was very sweet.
>>427669444/10 filler trash, background nobodies, and rigging. the side brackets were especially bad with ethrul mane entries
>>42766886Y'know what PageantAnon, despite my complaining, I think this event was pretty alright.

What a lovely result to wake up to.
>>42766198>79. Posey Bloom (45.6%)Chuds cleared that. And even if pinkie became really annoying, she is still an earth pony so she had the support. Minnie is just another Izzy to her. No way it would pass
>>42767173Deep breath, silly.
>>42766969WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How do you pronounce her name?
>>42767187Peppa Pig!
I just had a dream where I was scrolling through my phone gallery and most of the pics were pony pinke pie. Eqg pinkie pie was standing right behind me and was like "ooo you have [lists all pictures i have that don't involve her], ME!!!"
>>42767187Mrs. Sandwich

>>42767205>divorce trannyngmi
So who do yall think will be the last m6 member to win the title?
>>42767205Well that settles that
>>42767205Pinkie would never be so dismissive of somepony she used to love! Bad fanon.
>>42767213>Mares I want but are taken, are just 3dpdNo.
>>42767212WhorityProvided she can get through Tiskie, Marbul and other bg ponies with prominent autistic waifufaggotry, that is
>>42767209fake mare lover wouldn't love best pony even if she were a human
>>42767212Rarity, as much as that hurts.I don't think next year will be another M6 though, /mlp/ has a huge tism about M6 winning back to back
>>42767218If I had a nickel for every time I saw barbietrannies use this specific gaslight I would have so many nickels that I would singlehandedly fund the creation of g6
welp, that was a totally shit and undeserved miss /mlp/.I want you ponkfags to know that she will always be cheese sandwich's cum dumpster until the end of time and I want you to think about that and be reminded of it at every opportunity everyday in your pathetic lives, so long as you love her. I hope more of you ponkfags fall asleep at the wheel or finally strike up the courage to rope this coming christmas season because your filth unironically don't deserve a place to feel welcome and call home here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPW31851NgQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_mkKiRiPW4I swear on Celestia's fat ass there is no pony I hate more in all of Friendship is Magic than pinkie pie. there is not a single more FAT and RETARDED, annoying insufferable pony than her, her characterization and driven up antics in later episodes quite literally being the most clear-cut and concise examples to point to of the show's degradation in quality over time. she dragged what was already a rapidly declining show down so far that much like any of pinkie's jokes in the entire series it wasn't funny at all. I want to chain pinkie pie to the stairs in my basement so that she never lives to see another party ever again in her life.And I'll violently rape her everyday while I'm at it, too. one-sidedly pleasuring myself against all of pinkie's futile cries and pleas while leaving cakes and shit out for her just barely out of reach, letting her know of all of the friends' birthdays she misses as the months and years go by down there.https://files.catbox.moe/083mw2.mp4Fuck you PageantAnon. whether they get deleted or not prepare to have the security questions leaked in every single one of these threads in the future starting with Mr. /mlp/ollo this year, and I know you reuse questions year after year so I'm building a database right now from past years' questions to do it. I will never not spitevote when voting in these tournaments from now on.
>>42767205>accepting that s9 is canon>breaking up over the phone like a bitch>giggling at her heartbroken partnerMy god, who commissioned this horrid shit? I thought you were just going to call me a faggot or something, not reinforce the idea that your mare is used goods.
>>42766969Good shit, thanks for keeping up the tradition Anon
>>42767224Used goods is one thing, but having her be outright heartless just makes her seem like an awful pony who nobody should want to waifu. Derpy's used goods and she's amazing. That anon's idea of Pinkie is depressing.
>>42767223Didn't read lolGo cry on sharty about your failed astroturf
>>42767205>tfw pinkie gets full custody
>>42767205That's a lot of hate
Pink Ponk.
nominating weird al for mr /mlp/
>>42767223Take a deep breath and realize just how ridiculous the thing is that's making you this mad.
>>42767247I'd vote for him. He made Hardware Store, he's my hero.
Why do normies nominate Weird Al separately when Cheese Sandwich is his ponysona?
>>42767262Same reason there were several iterations of RD while the real one was barredGives more chances that at least one version makes it through
>>42767262Cheese Sandwich isn't really Weird Al though.
>>42767219>/mlp/ has a huge tism about M6 winning back to back>/mlp/ Only backgroundfags have a problem with it.
Congratulations Pinkie!>>42766933hope you don't mind my using this one as a base I liked the look of it
>bug lost to limestone in the mini bracketYOU HAD ONE JOB
>>42767294It's a shame!
I'M SO HAPPY
>>42767294Well, the bug indeed jobbed
Yay, pinkie! Let's go! Now time to celebrate everyone else's wives too! The pino one may have won but it doesn't mean we can't party!
>>42766913>Posey on 79>Cozy on 140>Scootaloo 151>Mayor Mare 169I wonder which one is the waifu of the seething anti G5 dogfag
>>42767322Isn't he a Twilight guy?
>>42767322>never ask a g4 purist who his actual waifu is
>>42767322Why those specifically?
>>42767290That looks great! That's an extremely iconic and recognizable Pinkie pose too, so it's an excellent choice.
>>42767204>Her victory post was genuinely beautifulIndeed it was. I've had a smile this whole time after reading that post, seeing all the Pinkie pics, and all the joy filled celebration. It's her time.
>>42767346Man I've been far past a smile, I was full blown happy tears as soon as it hit. I think I might've sobbed a little, and ever since then I've still been all soft over it. I've been on this ride since 2011, show wasn't even a year old when I got into it. Seeing Pinkie finally get something that big and beautiful on this board made me so happy, especially with all of the hype and energy I was pouring into the threads; having it all lead up to her actually winning was wonderful.
>>42767205I hadn't realized how fucked up of a thing this was to ask for until now, having seen it in the wild. I might have some issues to work through
>>42767322That remind me, we have to make a mini bracket of "Most racist Mare" next year so that we can find if theres someone more racist than Posey
Why did he do it?
>>42767391He did it for Pinkie.
>boring vanilla ponk win>no Pinkamena sweep strategically planned for the day of HalloweenWasted.>>42767205Based and psychobitch-pilled.
>>42767406So much thisPuro Genk deserved it, but I can work with normal one winning in the end
>>42767205same energy
>>42767359Remind me why is there not a "worst mare" bracket? Not wanting to support toxicity or something?
>>42766933>>42767141>>42767290>Trophy designed by Sweetiefags>Security questions leaked by Sweetiefags>Backgroundslop takeover rigged by SweetiefagsNo need to thank us.
>>42767471Don't pin the blame on the filly Ravenfag
>>42767205I could see Haber writing it.
>>42767471Fillygods I kneel
Absolutely rigged. My girl Babs Seed (fish version) should've won
So when's the next vote?
We did it, PonkbrosAnd I didn't vote more than once in ANY round
>>42767497I dunno, PageantAnon's gone silent but I'd imagine we'll get the link to vote for the SuperFinal tomorrow.
>>42767469Shitiest characters bracket would be a fight between Spike, Sparky, Grubber and AngelShittiest waifu would probably be a lead with Yona and fat obese pony
>>42767511You forgot Trixie.
>>42766886Surely such a high amount of votes for Minuette means she constantly is having a waifu thread, right?
>>42767406>>42767430No offense to the Pinkamena bros, but I always felt like she was more of a fandom OC that was inspired by the gag of her hair deflating in Season 1. I think Pinkie being super gritty and yandere or whatever is actually really inconsistent with her character, especially considering her scene in Party of One came from a deep place of vulnerability and fear of isolation.A foundational character for the fandom but she's not really actually even Pinkie at all, I think. Plain ol' Pinkie Pie won for her smile and sweetness and mass appeal.
>>42767497>>42767504You mean pic rel? It's in the Post-Pageant Poll >>42766886 Great naming btw, PageantAnon
>>42767496yeah I'm so fucked up over Babs Seed (Fish Ver.) not getting absolutely amazing wow, incredible victory, SO cool Bad Seed as incredible fishwhy broswhy
>>42767520>I think Pinkie being super gritty and yandere or whatever is actually really inconsistent with her characterShe was suffocating Dashie with her ass
>>42767469>>42767511>>42767513>trixie wins miss /mlp/ 2026 AND the worst character mini-bracket 2026how are we feeling about this one
>>42767523I've seen that be used as an argument for that but it just kinda read to me as a cartoony slapstick gag rather than "Yep, this is a psycho goth murderer chick". I know back in like, the early 2010's a lot of people didn't really get the appeal of a truly happy character if they weren't hiding something evil or being distorted into something bad, so Pinkie had a lot of fans who only really liked her for that side.Ultimately though it kinda feels like a Superman situation where a lot of people just don't find much interesting in that kind of purity and will want to find something else, hence all of the evil/corrupted Superman stuff that exists out there. I dunno, just my musings on it though.
>>42767504>SuperFinal suddenly starts>a pageant boss battle against current winner in a last-ditch effort to dethrone her>three round format, a random pony from top 2 to 5 gets chosen for a battle>if the pageant winner loses in a round, a random number of botted accounts between 50-100 just rig extra votes for her in the next round>any secondary defeated is out for good, but can decide if they're willing to share a random number of votes with the next challenger>if the current winner wins SuperFinal, she retains her title>if one of the challengers manages to outvote her, they will dethrone her in this year, and the winner-no-more gets barred from access in the next year>the entire thing happens in a span of a single day for absolute chaos and shitflinging>May the ACTUAL strategical voting and sharing win.>>42767511>Shittiest waifu>not Yona vs. SHITsty
>>42767523UnfI wish that were me
>>42767520>she's fanon inspired by party of oneNo offense, but no duh, how new are you? Every year ponkfags vote against Pinkamena because they can't stand looking at the twisted mirror of what could be. They're dismissive of any complexity to her character because anything that's not sunshine and rainbows hurts to look at.
>>42767523>>42767534
>>42767535>They're dismissive of any complexity to her character because anything that's not sunshine and rainbows hurts to look at.The thing is that you can do a darker Pinkie without it turning into Pinkamena. Like... if we're being honest about Party of One, the lesson there is that Pinkie has BPD. The moment she doubts her friendships it leads to a massive spiral that would've been absolutely devastating if they hadn't directly proven her delusions incorrect. A realistic Pinkie probably does have a few times a year where she doubts all her friends and acts really hostile and then is super apologetic afterwards because that's not who she wants to be.
>>42767535Now now, no need to be salty.It's more that I just don't see that in her at all, personally. Being like, edgy and vengeful and violent doesn't exactly ring as super complex either, at least not in the way I see it expressed through Pinkamena. In Party of One, we saw Pinkie's fear of isolation and insecurity get the best of her as she had a really bad depression spiral; she was so altruistic and caring of her friends birthdays that she completely forgot that it was her own.In the Smile Song, we even see Pinkie pull herself out of a pit by herself as she says "it's true some days are dark and lonely, and maybe you feel sad, but Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad"; it's a visual metaphor showing her own personal strength to pull herself out of her own darkness. I see complexity and character growth there myself in terms of tackling your own inner darkness, and a lot of Pinkamena content just kind of disregards that for shock value. GRANTED, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just always kinda weird when Pinkamena gets projected onto canon Pinkie as I really don't think it's her, and people often end up having two entirely different versions of the character. I do think it's definitely something someone could argue that Ponk may have some form of depression and has shown great strength in combating it, though.
>>42767541So instead of killing her friends, she kills herself? Cool realistic waifu.
Good rigging, Ponkernigs. Now let's never do these shitty pageants ever again.
>>42767565I'd certainly hope not but yeah that's probably more the direction her feelings would lean.
okay anons, time to come cleanhow many miss /mlp/s did you participate in before this one
>>427675710 and didn't participate in this one either
>>42767527>Yep, this is a psycho goth murderer chickThat's the intention. Party of One script was originally going to send straight to the bin by Faust for being too childish. So they threw in a Ren and Stimpy sequence for good measure
>>42767576>thanks but i voted for none>i voted noone. i conceded my voteBased
>>42767571All of them. 2019 and 2020 were the best
>>42767553I think somebody might be feeling a bit called out for a little disloyalty. Most waifufags typically align themselves close with other iterations of their waifu. If Pinkamena was entered into the contest there's nothing to even tie her to being a murderhorse beyond our fun and your own hangups with the fandom. There are tons of straight maned Pinkamena works that have nothing to do with Cupcakes and every bit to do with her serious side.
>>42767626>I think somebody might be feeling a bit called out for a little disloyaltyI dunno, the tone here just feels like it's kinda bad faith if that's directed at me haha. All things aside, I think it's great ponies bring us so much entertainment and joy with our depth, no matter what we love most in them :DAnd yeah stuff diving into Ponka's flaws and sadness can be cool, I've just almost never seen it be done other than mega Ponkfags talking about her character 'cuz a lot of it interprets her as more fragile or non-altruistic than she actually is. All that being said though, it speaks a ton to the depth of the show with how many interpretations and stuff we're all able to get out of it.
>>42767639I'm bad faith? So now you're gonna throw a bunch of positivity at me while telling me you do in fact support and vote for Pinkamena as much as Pinkie, after all that?
When does mrmlp start?
>>42766886abysmal dogshit
FUCK I fell asleep waiting for the resultsI'm happy Pinkie won, sad I missed the hype
i never voted once and i knew it was her turn
What an awful pageant. A basic bitch waifu won. We could have had a cute kino MILF win this year, but instead we got Pinkie Pie.
>>42766856Fluttershy and Applejack are both background ponies.
>>42767714Pinkie is one of the mane 6 who fell off the most in mid to later seasons. I don't think she deserved the win.
>>42767639getting sick of pinkiefags forced happiness and quirkiness.
>>42767722
>>42767722You think people who vote in these things actually watch the show? Lol lmao even.
cheese sandwich
>>42767732what about him
>>42767732Is a good friend of Pinkie's, but nothing more.
>>42767722I think Rarity deserved to win the most this year, and I say this as a Pearbutterchad. I hope Rarity wins next year.
>>42767736Yeah Cheese was a good friend to Pinkie by pounding her pussy and putting a colt in her.
>>42767738But that's not canon, Anon
>>42767732who?
>>42767745he was a minnyfag and died from shock
>>42767746
>>42767754note how it says "future"which means there's no time like the present
>>42767754Who in the pinkilicious party poopin' is Pizza Pie?

Pear Butter a shitMost overrated episode in the whole series Not even a good milf, too wholesome for lewdAnons are all brainded Everyone who got the so sad question wrong should have had votes thrown outCelestia isn't a milf either btw but she should have won

When's Mr. /mlp/?
>>42767758Ponkfag, for the love of Celestia… being happy to fuck her now and be cucked later is not the look you want. Just deny, deny, deny. Repeat these words to yourself over and over until you get it in your head: the finale isn’t canon and anyone claiming otherwise is a faggot. This has to be your mantra. There’s just no other option.
>>42767796Haber should win2014 /mlp/ LOVED him
>>42767802Is EQG canon?Is IDW canon?Is S3-S9 canon?Is that copper plume faggot and his 5 billions fanarts between his OC and Pinkie canon?Same difference to me.
>>42767802NTA, but I have an alt stratMy Ponk is the one from nohooves world, who crossed over into Equestria with me.We have threesomes with the mirror ponk survivor.

>>42766886Hello everyone, congrats to the winner!This is a good opportunity to remind everyone that these tournaments have their very own Wiki, but unfortunately due to this board's more hermetic culture, we lack contributors that could help us with adding information regarding /mlp/ tournaments onto it.I invite everyone to join us at: https://4tourney.wikitide.org/wiki/4chan_Tournaments_WikiYou don't need an e-mail to set up an account, you can also use one of those 10-minute ones, but I think that's redundant.

Ponkfags, don't leave us down here. Please don't leave us...
>>42767869true

>>42767909>riggers and cheaters>ever deserving, let alone getting, that
>>42767925>I dunno why Penkfags would be threatened in the first place, there's still at least one mirror pool clone escapee (two if you're willing to accept the Pacific Glow headcanon)A clone just isn't the sameWhen you watch the show, you bond with the real PinkieOf course, there is an argument that everyone really waifus an alternate version of the show character with some headcanon attachedAnd I like to ignore episodes like Yakity-Sax where her behavior makes no senseBut I still want "my" Pinkie to be similar to the show Pinkie
>>42767939Your Pinkie would be different from show Pinkie by the very nature of being yours, spending time with you, learning, loving and imprinting on youNeither she nor the clone would be the Pinkie you originally loved unless you lived in an eternally looping meetcute

So.... who are we nominating for Mister besides the obvious pick.
>>42767959welost because /mlp/ loves mentioning his name so many times
>>42767951S6 has no discoshy episodes other than a small scene in dungeons and discords, which was written by ConfaloneThe guy who managed to turn Trixie into a regular both in FiM and EqG

>>42767902Idk why people here are so obsessed with waifufaggotry to begin with. Ponka is my favourite M6 and Best Pony but she's not my waifu. You can like a horse without being weird and parasocial about it.
>>42767902cuck
>>42767869i think your opinion sucks
>>42767959Elusive CyanGold Ship
>>42767155Glad you agree that all the support behind her is organic, and only actual rigging would take her down
>>42767959Your 2025 Mr. /mlp/
>>42768074Hell yeah.
>>42768006you will never make it to equestria
>>42767155so votes for shimmer are honest unlike the ones in this miss /mlp/?odd thing to admit ponkfren
>>42768091Ravenfag is a Moondancer, Wallflower and Sunsetfag tooI'm sorry but they've been tainted forever, any win will forever have the suspicious of rigging
>>42767290Looks good, thanks for making these
>>42767290this year doesn't deserve a throphy
>>42768104It irks me how Verity's base is completely different from the rest
>>42767909Kek, great draw Anon
>>42768104>iconic victories, all going against equally loved ponies so it could go either way>and then there is ponk, going against rigged oponents that never should have been there in the first placenot a good look
>>42767909Me on the left
>>42768104>the previous years compared to this oneit does show how bad this one was
>>42767909>Ponkfags finally getting to ascend from this madnessI envy them, trulyI cannot imagine how much less stressful these contests are when your waifu's already won and you can just have fun with itgood work anon
>>42768140My shitposting is going to go into overdrive next year
>>42768140never gonna let them forget that it was rigged though
>>42768131>>42768125I'd argue that Pear Butter has a similar power to Nurse Redheart who consistently makes it far But Minuette and Roseluck are the undeniable proof of rigging. And not just any rigging, rigging by one spiteful autistic schizo with money. >>42768119Draw one yourself then
>>42768150>Draw one yourself thenIt's just a matter of changing the baseCould be done in like ten seconds if I had the template and font
>>42768148perhaps but at least i'm convinced ponkfags had nothing to do with any rigging, riggerniggers in this thread were boasting about 'backgroundslop' takeover and in the quarterfinals Pinkie was <10 votes off from Octavia who previously she stomped by 40+. And then would proceed to win by a sliver each round.Ponk was every bit as much a target as the others they just couldn't take her out
>>42768161>backgroundslop
>>42767869this is kind of hot desu
>>42768166their words, not mineI don't actually have a vendetta against background ponies winning but clearly there are some who did it with the only interest of stirring shit
>>42768161>convinced ponkfags had nothing to do with any rigging,yeah she just was the only one that passed to the semis, by accident i guess, and her match up was a pony she beat twice, just a silly coincidence too
>>42768172>yeah she just was the only one that passed to the semis by accident i guesswinning by less than 10 against a pony she'd previously had no problem with (no offense to donkfags) would be indicative of them underestimating her, yes. if she was rigged she'd have won by a lot more
>>42768081seeth
>>42767576I always try to push Opaline and Posey as far as i can
>>42768177so that was natural and flutterfags, sunfags and cherileefags just sort of fall asleep? lost all the support they had? you can try to spin this as ponk passing thanks to effort, its not working whwn you look at the bigger picture
>>42767807Only tamers and pony life is canon
>>42768199Pinkie's a more popular pony than Fluttershy, Celestia or Cheerilee. That's the simple explanation.
>>42767909Draw poseyfags and opalinefags and Pippfags
>>42767951McCarthy was a major shipper of discord ans Fluttershy
>>42767869Should be her trophy. Cement her undeserved win eternally
Hot take: The background ponies winning made the final WAY more exciting than it would have been otherwiseIf Fluttershy/Celestia/Cheerilee had passed everyone could see the finale: Fluttershy/Pinkie would beat their nicole oliver ponies because Mane6Bowl autism >>> NicoleOliverBowl autism and Pinkie would have no problem at all with FluttershyI was actually left on the edge of my seat with Minuette and Pinkie instead I had no idea who would win, it was a much more fun final matcht. someone who voted against ponk in quarterfinals
>>42768104Please add rigging champion to her title for formalities sake
>>42768119Verity's was drawn with SOVL
>>42768224The finals was definitely the most entertaining part of the tournament, people seemed to accept what was presented and focus on their preferred candidate winning.
Ponkfags really are gonna have to deal with being shamed for cheating their win forever huh?
>>42768205thats odd to say when fluttershy got into a finals before and celestia beat pinkie toobut nah, its totally natural that the ponies she ended up being against were all easy, spite voting aside
>>42768199>lost all the support they had?They lost quite narrowly, Anon.Pinkie won quite narrowly.You're either being deliberately disingenuous or you're very gullible.
>>42768232Flutters got into a Final because her semifinalist opponent was Sergeant fucking Reckless, an OC who lucked into an easy track with randomized brackets
>>42768104Sorry for the 2nd post, but I wanted to give some credit to the 3rd place winners too, so I just added some gold, silver, and bronze stars to the thumbnails
>>42768236>OCSo, how many verifications did you fail?
>>42768006Flutterbros....if Pinkie won after literally having a baby with someone else, then surely next year is our time even with Discord as the stopping power?
>>42768232>thats odd to say when fluttershy got into a finals before and celestia beat pinkie tooIn this current moment, 2025, Pinkie Pie is more popular than Celestia, Cheerilee and Fluttershy on this board. Previous results only tell you so much when we all constantly agree and complain about how bad the board is becoming. Demographic shifts are real and they will have an effect on matches like these.
>>42768224And is that excitement in the room with us right now? because we can see the threads and along with the lack of oc they were filled with anons not happy with what was happening and already making suggestions to prevent obviously rigged result like this in the future
Sorry to Colgatebros on your loss, but 2nd place is still really damn goodI brushed / flossed my teeth especially hard last night for her
>>42767714You milftards hog a whole-ass mini-bracket to yoyrself every single year and being a milf already gives a mare a huge advantage here, don't act entitled
>>42768238Lmao Celestia and Trixie so desperate to win and Fluttershy is there too
>>42766886"Oh"
>>42768246Its Minuette

Lmao did anyone from student 6 or starswirl band got to round 1?
>>42768264I don't mean to be rude but that takes all of 3 minutes to spoof. When you see a false flag on 4chan you understand exactly what it is but when someone instead does it on Discord your brain shuts off and you start screaming and shitting.
>>42768252don't feel down Minuetteyou know how much I would do for my waifu to make it as far as 2nd place?Silver isn't a color to be ashamed
>>42767571Every one except 2020
>ponkfags rigging an election they were more than likely going to win anyway by boosting less popular opponentsThe soul of Richard Nixon lives on in Ponka
>>42768279I don't see a world where Fluttershy is more competitive than the finals we got, honestly. If they really did rig it that rigging was 100% self-defeating.

>>42768296Based on this trend I am calling a Trixie/Celestia 2026 finale assuming they don't meet before finals
>>42768306You gotta be careful with Marble, Cheerilee, Limestone, Starlight and Sunset. The former three are still pretty powerful, and the latter two are gaining popularity with the influx of newfags.
>>42768233funny that you call me disingenuous when you are the one avoiding who lost and who did they lost to, funny that you call me gullible when you truly believe only ponk is the only one that could possibly go through tell me anon if someone cheats you think they make sure to be as obvious as humanly possible and get the perfect score? you think the only way to know an election is frsudulent is to see one side getting 99% of the votes?
>>42768236>Sergeant fucking Reckless, an OC>an OCim not even gonna bother with you>>42768242>pinkie is more popular anon their threads keep dying time after time
>>42768322Generals staying alive mean nothing. Cheerilee has no general and she always makes it to the quarterfinals. Sunset had a permanent general that might as well be a sticky and she never made it to quarterfinals.
>>42768282>this finals>competitivel to the mao
>>42768322Considering that the real Sgt. Reckless is not a pastel pony, has no anthropomorphic personality and feelings, or can speak, she can be considered an OC in that regard - like how she often was portrayed in 2023.
>>42767796There will be a couple of weeks between Miss /mlp/ and Mr. /mlp/, I am intending to start Mr. /mlp/ on November 21st. I don't typically make a Prelim thread for Mr. like I do for Miss but if we are trying out a very different format I might make one on the proceeding Monday to finalize it if we don't come to a consensus by the end of the Afterparty. I am still letting a couple days for gathering input on options in the Post-Pageant Questionnaire, so if you haven't filled it out and want to offer more on upcoming pageants fill it out below. And a reminder that the traditional post-pageant match-ups between our newest winner Pinkie and her predecessors are all available to vote on now as well.Post-Pageant Poll: https://forms.gle/pTbpvZyQBUnaibHfA
>>42768339CoolNominating Goku btw
>>42768335Pinkie has zero personality and she won

>>42768322>anon their threads keep dying time after timeFluttershy doesn't even have a general on the catalog, her last one archived a while ago
>>42768328>Generals staying alive mean nothingso which is it? if ponk is popular here then her general shouldn't be dying so often (not even to sharty raids mind you) or popularity doesn't matter now? how did you reach the conclusion that she is more popular than the other 3>but sunsetyou and i know that she is a prime target of spite votting because of eqg, so bringing her up is pointless
>ponkfags rigged it!>no, minnyfags rigged it!
>>42768335>not a pastel ponyneither is verity i doubt anyone would call her an OC
>>427669443.14/π
>>42767759also, this Pizza Pie her being sister-in-law of Cheese means that Cloudy and Igneous get at it again
>>42768366you do realize you can see the results in the previous rounds and get an idea right?how about not being disingenuos and addressing the abnormality that is ponk being the only one to pass to the semis while the other three got beaten by ponies that should have been a walk a in the park?
>>42768370with this you agree that neither fluttershy or pinkie should have reached semis
>>42768386>neither is verity i doubt anyone would call her an OC
>>42768381>how did you reach the conclusion that she is more popular than the other 3Mane Six are more popular than secondary characters regardless of how many waifufags there are for any given character. When given the option between a secondary character and a member of the Mane Six, the average anon with no distinct association with either will choose the Mane Six member more often than not. This is not a shocking statement for anyone but you personally, presumably because you're either a sunfag or a shmoopyfag. Of the Mane Six, Fluttershy is the least popular on this board so the odds of her beating Pinkie in a finals match are quite low.
Ok, first half of the contestants are together. I'd have gotten this done sooner but Halloween weekend was busy. Hopefully I can get the other 128 contestants by Friday.
>>42768419Respect to you dude, doing 256 is fucking hard.
>>42768419Godspeed anon, really going all out with this256 is a lot of mares, even if you can't get it done by then you can always post it in Mr. /mlp/ too
The only rigging that happened was to get a background mare to the finals so there wouldn't be another "boring mane6 win." They used ponkfags as a scapegoat and falseflagged hard to divert their own attempts. Once they failed, they leaned into the falseflagging in an attempt to sully the win.

>>42768416>Mane Six are more popular than secondary characterswell look at that, one of the mane 6 didn't pass when she was against a secondary character that realistically had no chance against her, if what you say were to be truth it wouldnt have took twilight 4 years to win and it wouldn't have took pinkie 6>so the odds of her beating PINKIEfunny that because she wasn't against pinkie but against minuette, which is what we are talking about, so which is it fag? mane 6 are popular and will get voted regardless or now fluttershy is THAT unpopular according to you that she will lose to a secondary character even thought she beat lyra in the previous round? be consistent for once
>>42768444then why didn't they have donk beat pinkie? if you go out of your way to not have a "boring mane 6 win" why leave one of them? is not like pageantanon was ever going to do anything if all background ponies passed to the semis. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE>to sully the winthe win is already tainted and stinks of rigging regardless
>>42768406No I'm saying it's a retarded way to measure popularity
BVLL bros, our girl won!
>>42768460There are contextual reasons that a pony can lose to a pony they 'shouldn't lose to'. One is based on narrative - Verity won in 2021 despite not being the most popular pony ever because the narrative around her was strong that year. Another is spitefagging. On /mlp/, Rarity is objectively more popular than Pinkie Pie. In every poll this board does nowadays Pinkie lags behind her. However, lots of people think it's funny to make dedicated Rarityfags cry when they lose so they spitefagged the shit out of her. The final reason is botted accounts and rigging, which most likely did happen in the quarterfinals of this match by that Ravenfag that everyone talked about. His goal was seemingly to get every underdog to win because he hated that Raven lost and wanted to ruin the tourney, he ultimately failed due to not enough votes being applied to the underdogs. His actions may well have had an effect on the end result, that's impossible to say, but I don't think we'd have a different winner if all the more popular ponies won in the RO8.
>>42768483Which one was Pinkie's?
>>42768489I'll say the blatant rigging is seriously turning me off of Miss /mlp/. From stuffing the ballot box to falseflagging to propping up underdogs to give your real pick an easy bye in the next round. It's been like this forever, but it was especially bad this time around. It's just gotten so soulless and hostile. It's ironic that Pinkie won, because if there's one pony that wouldn't want to be involved in this, it'd be Pinkie.
>>42768511Yeah, I had the exact same thought. It sucks that the party pony's associated with a year that very few people were having fun with. Ultimately though we can't undo what happened, all we can do is move on and hope that things are better next year, though of course this doesn't bode well for future competitions.
>>42767737I can't recall many late season episodes where Rarity was ruined or flanderizedI guess that adds to the jealousy from all the other waifufags
>>42768511Pinkie winning is the sedative needed for the pain. An unfun year at least deserves a fun pony to help make things better and brighten our day.
>>42767874Give it up pal, no one here cares about other board tournaments except other board touristsThis will ensure that /mlp/ tourneys will eventually be forgotten to history because no one bothers to record or catalog their results on the wiki, but hey, it's /mlp/'s faultBeing self-destructive is one thing they've always excelled at
>>42768498Steven.
>>42767967>S6 has no discoshy episodes other than a small sceneYou're full of shit, in the last two-parter Discord was talking about muh Fluttershy for half the time.>>42768216You're even more full of shit because S3-S5 Discord had some fondness for Fluttershy but didn't go out of his way to simp for her and could even be dismissive and rude to her until Haber abd Confaline turned him into le heckin wholesome daddy protector of Fluttershy's honorDiscord was hurt by Fluttercord way more than Fluttershy ever was
>>42768296Stop! And after all this, these idiots are saying Pinkie Pie's victory was undeserved? What's wrong with this world? Ponk literally won, and she won after years of failed attempts! No one deserved to win more than she did. Get out, envious people. You are banished from Equestria forever. You failed the test.
>>42768482its the only sure way we have of measuring itin here and if your point is that both pinkie and fluttershy are popular even with their general dying then there is no way too justify fluttershy losing
>>42768271Pillars are cool but /mlp/ hates them because they come from S7Also only Somnambula has some kind of a shot out of them all
>>42768449>My grayy lmao husband is SO powerful...
>>42768296>Roseluck actually made E8 beforeKekNow we know for sure everyone bitching about her was an off-boarder newfag
>>42767737To win miss /mlp/, people have to be ambivalent to a mare at worst. Rarity has too many haters to ever win the pageant. The moment she gets far, people start hatevoting against her. That's okay, though. What with the current state of things, miss /mlp/ has turned into a Mickey Mouse tournament. It's gotten too rigged to take seriously. You might as well pull names out of a hat to decide the winner.
>>42768557Which is funny since WB bias means that Mickey can never even qualify in tournaments.
>>42768538Easy on the chocolate milk, there.
I blame Ilovekimpossible for all this
>>42768521>I can't recall many late season episodes where Rarity was ruined or flanderizedEnd in Friend? Dragon Dropped? Forever Filly which is just Somepony to Watch Over Me but with Rarity instead of Applejack?Good lord, Rarifags might actually be more delusional than Dashfags. At least Dashfags admit her late season episodes suck too.
>>42768575For the love of Celestia stop posting you filthy dickchopper, you make us all look bad
>>42768585why
>>42768489So NOW its contextual reasons and not pinkie being simply so popular that she, suspiciously, ended up being the only one that reached semis and survived the rigging, we keep moving the goalpost>but narrative and spite votingbut there was no narrative this year, there was not a single bit of that that would say "vote for the background mares" or whatever, and why would spite voting be so hard this year that it would perfectly knock out the other three candidates? why would anyone spite vote against cherilee or fluttershy? i mean SHIT if anything spite voting would target pinkie of all ponies more>but ravenfagnothing confirmed
>>42768569"Mickey Mouse tournament" has nothing to do with cartoons. It is a sports term. It means a league or cup with little prestige, so no one gives a shit about who wins it.
>>42768514>Ultimately though we can't undo what happenedi mean we could
>>42768595That's just the tournaments across the board, especially after this year.
>>42768557>Rarity has too many haters to ever win the pageant. Rarity can do it. Twilight has a lot of haters too, but she won.
>>42768589>Dragon DroppedI still don't understand what I'm supposed to hate about that episode
where can i find the previous editions of the tournament?
>>42768594>we keep moving the goalpostWhen you have a discussion and bring up other points I'm going to have to respond to them. Pinkie being the most popular of the four is most likely why she survived the RO8 despite the upset attempt.>there was not a single bit of that that would say "vote for the background mares" or whateverWere you even reading the threads or did you just show up for the finals?>nothing confirmedThe evidence is pretty strong given which round it happened in. It's stronger evidence than people have for Pinkiefags cheating.
>>42768604Twilight's the most popular character in the show by some margin. I'm surprised it took as long as it did for her to win.
>>42767535Stupid argument, Daybreaker is Celestia's canon dark psyche that was locked up. But you don't have a problem with Sunfags voting her out, when it's more in line with what you're talking about than Pinkamena is to Pinkie
>>42768615Desuarchive, name PageantAnon, search OPs only.
>>42768594>there was not a single bit of that that would say "vote for the background mares" or whatever,Why are you lying? There were always a few backgroundfags whining in the thread, MUH UNDERDOG, MUH BORING.
>>42768618>I'm surprised it took as long as it did for her to win.She is also the most hated because of her wings.
>>42767205Hahahaha holy crap where did this come from
>>42768511the obvious answer is to act like this never happened, make this year not valid and try again next yearnobody loses anything, riggers don't get their laugh or their pick winning, no real content was made so not a big loss and we can focus on making a better system to diminish the ammount of nonsense next yearbut fags will throw a tantrum if we go with that even if its objectively the right call
>>42767714>We could have had a cute kino MILF win this year, Anon... I
>>42768638look at that legpit
>>42767759Ponkfags newest rebound cope after EQG!So, would you?
>>42767951The person who colored this got some things wrong. Here it is fixed.
>>42768589Everyone's late season episodes suck. There's a reason people don't like the later seasons. Saying Rarity has no bottom tier episodes is retarded, but I believe you should look at a pony's highs rather than the lows. Imagine looking at Rainbow Dash and thinking Mysterious Mare-do-well instead of Sonic Rainboom. No one holds "A trivial Pursuit" against Twilight and Ponk, because it's a fucking season nine episode so who the fuck cares. People watch Luna Eclipsed or Its About Time instead.
>>42768617>bring up other pointsbut the one bringing other points is you, i refuted that pinkie was the most popular on this board with her general constantly dying then you moved to: generals not having any meaning, but sunset shimmer, but fluttershy is unpopular, but mane 6 are so popular they will beat any secondary character (even thought fluttershy lost to one) to finally context like narrativeszero consistency>being the most popular of the four is why she survivednot onoy you still have nothing thata backs up your claim but you just said, twice, that mane 6 will always beat secondary characters, so why out the nowhere fluttershy would lose to one? according to you she should have passed easily but didn't and thats what is suspicious>were you reading the threadsoh i was, since the very first thread so can't come here and try to imply that minuette, pear butter, let alone roseluck, had enough support to explain their victories, hell if that was the case why didnt lyra beat fluttershy? she is also a secindsry character the nsrrative was that strong according to you, why didn't cherilee? she is also a secondary character there was simply not a narrative that would explain this characters winning>the evidence what evidence?>stronger than pinkiefags cheatingyeah again, it was justa coincidence that she passed to semis, the only popular pony, one of the mane 6, that would obviously win against then background characters, your words
Requesting an edit of this but with Minnie on the floor instead of Berryshine

>>42768688
>>42768679>>42756756
>>42768676>zero consistencyNone of these arguments contradict eachother, you've just arbitrarily decided that they do. The M6 are more popular than secondary and background ponies, they can still lose in very specific contexts like people spitefagging really hard plus some blatant attempts to spoof votes.>according to you she should have passed easily but didn't and thats what is suspiciousI just explained that.>hell if that was the case why didnt lyra beat fluttershy?I just explained that. If you do think it's rigging though, why did Pinkiefags choose RO16 instead of RO32 or earlier? There's a clear explanation for why Ravenfag did it when he did, there isn't one for Pinkiefags outside of Pinkie surviving and therefore it must have been them.>what evidence?>>42766537
>>42768623ty, I was looking by tripcode
>>42768705No prob!
>>42768680>there was not a single bit of that that would say "vote for the background mares" or whatever>a few posts later>okay, there was a few backgroundfags, but it doesn't count!!!!LMAO you're a fucking idiot. If you don't have any valid arguments, just keep quiet so you don't look like a retard. In every thread, I saw whining about le boring m6 and muh underdog.
>>42768694I never said they contradicted, I said that you keep shifting from one to the next, that is inconsistent>i just explained thatbut the explanation makes no sense with what you have said before >When given the option between a secondary character and a member of the Mane Six, the average anon with no distinct association with either will choose the Mane Six member more often than notwhy would this spite voters be enough to knock fluttershy and not pinkie right there if the narrative you say exists was THAT strong? why would they target flluttershy or even why would they target cherilee of all ponies? >i just explainedand i just showed you that it makes no sense according ro your previous posts and what happened, why wosuld fluttershy suddenly lose all the support she had if the mane 6 gets votes constantly? >there isn't one for pinkie besides the big, gigantic piece of evidence that is her, and only her, being the only popular pony that passedthere is no explanation being given by you or anyone, no one can explain why she was the only to survive, the others just magivally lost all support thats the only explanation and is not enough>a single postthats it?
What if we just banned the mane6 from the pageant?
>>42768766Two more pageants and that'll be the case
>>42768755anon a couple of posts are not a narrative which is what i was reffering to, you retardthere is always going to be a couple of random posts whinning about mane 6 or popular ponies, that does not a narrativedo you even know what the fuck that is or you just say dumb shit because breathing is free?
>>42768761>that is inconsistentIt'd be inconsistent if I was rapidly swapping between arguments while pretending the other argument don't exist. I have created a single unified theory that explains why things happen the way they do and you don't like the theory, that's all this is.>but the explanation makes no sense with what you have said before The only way it doesn't is if you genuinely don't understand what I'm saying.>why would this spite voters be enough to knock fluttershy and not pinkie right there if the narrative you say exists was THAT strong?I said narrative can play a role, I didn't say it was the sole thing that caused this. The RO16 was clearly an attempt by Ravenfag to have Oops! All Upsets and it didn't work out.>no one can explain why she was the only to surviveThere was a massive wave of voting against all popular candidates. Pinkie managed to barely survive despite that. There's two options, either Pinkiefags carefully coordinated so that they'd vote against Pinkie just hard enough that it doesn't look too suspicious without accidentally taking out their own candidate (something they wouldn't know unless the vast majority of votes in every round have been coordinated) or there was an effort to take out all the top dogs and it almost succeeded. Which sounds more likely?
>>42768780Sorry, I mean the RO8 was an attempt to have Oops! All Upsets.
>>42768766>What if we banned more than half of /mlp/?Great fucking idea, retarded backgroundfag.

I have to spell it out for you. Don't vote for m6 = vote for the background mares.
>>42768785>400 votes in this tourny>less than half votes in spreadsheet autism>Only one m6 got through, with riggingFace it the stale six are on their way out
>>42768531>Reps the pink one. Rose by proxyIt's all coming together
>>42768780For reference:>ro256: 225 votes for pinkie>ro128: 197 votes for pinkie>ro64: 189 votes for pinkie>ro32: 223 votes for pinkie>ro16: 220 votes for pinkie>ro8: 178 votes for pinkie>ro4: 174 votes for pinkie>finals: 178 votes for pinkieThe quarterfinals, the round where the rigging seemed to happen, is the round where Pinkie's support dropped off massively. I'm not an expert on the subject but unless the majority of all votes this whole time were from people rigging, that seems like an exceedingly precarious position to put the candidate you want to win in.
>>42768800>400 votes in this tournyA third, if not half, of these are fake votes.This year has shown us that many people use multiple google accounts to vote.>less than half votes in spreadsheet autismYou clearly have problems with math.>Only one m6 got through, with riggingBackgroundfags are more likely to cheat, as their chances of winning naturally are much lower.
>>42768770Anon, Rarifag, my bro my pal...No, I don't want to tell him. Someone else do it.
>>42768837NTA I would vote for Rarity if she made it to the finals.
>>42768807>256 vs background nobody: easy win>128 vs another background nobody: easy win>64 vs rara: rara spite influence but people can easily like pink fun over white prissy>8 vs old donk: old background meme, very different tastes>4 vs pear butter: pear is the gold-standard ideal >2 vs toothpaste: old background meme, but not very strong and similar
>>42768807Additional data, looking at ponies' vote counts from RO16 to RO8.Minuette>ro16: 209 votes>ro8: 184 votesFluttershy>ro16: 212 votes>ro8: 164 votesRoseluck>ro16: 198 votes>ro8: 183 votesCheerilee>ro16: 227 votes>ro8: 164 votesCelestia>ro16: 206 votes>ro8: 162 votesPear Butter>ro16: 221 votes>ro8: 186 votesOctavia>ro16: 194 votes>ro8: 169 votesPinkie>ro16: 220 votes>ro8: 178 votesI'd say the weird thing about this tournament is that the vote counts peaked at the RO32 and then progressively went down from that point on. That feels very odd to me.
>>42768846>pear is the gold-standard idealMore like a dead character that literally nobody waifus.
>>42768846>>42768807I don't care how much people like to dunk on Rara, there's no way Octavia was actually that much more clutch than Rarity
jesus christ you retards are still arguing over this
>>42768538Lmao actual discordfag cucked by Fluttershy
>>42768852Sunfag I don't know how many times people have to say this, success in this tournament isn't solely decided by how many people waifu a given character. In fact waifufags probably compose the minority of votes for a pony.
>>42768857The dead should stay dead. Stop digging her up from her grave every year.
>>42768780>I was rapidly swapping between argumentswhich is what you did"ponk is popular here" her generals keep dying. "But generals mean nothing, sunset shimmer has generals and she never goes far" because she is associated with eqg and if generals mean nothing the we can't claim pinkie is that popular today. "Well the mane 6 always go far and beat secondary ponies" well fluttershy didn't. "Well there is a narrative and spite voting" but there is no indication of said narrative and spite voting has never been this bad, there is also no explanation why it wouldn't affect pinkie too since she gets troll threads and posts just as much as fluttershy does>you just don't get itthat's is not argument>narrative can play a roleand i said that said narfative is nowhere to be found, which is true, there is not enough posts to even support the claim of said narrative to vote the background mares en masse to kick out the strongest competitors>the r16 was the the ravenfaganother goalpost moved, now its the ravenfag and not the narrative or pinkie being that popular>pinkie managed to survive despite thatand nobody, not even you, can explain that, there has not been a single legitimate explanation about why or how she ended up being the only one to get thru>carefully coordinatedits not a surgery, its not that hard or complicated and you can change votes at any time, the only thing needed was to vote against the real competition and keep some votes on donk to not make it so obvious because as you said "people will choose the mane 6 more often than not" you really, seriously, expect me to believe that three of the top competitors lost support overnight and only one managed to get through and end up having an easy path to victory? have it so easy that they didn't try again to kick her out in the semis too mind you? I could believe you if all of them got beat or even just two max, but THREE of them? you really think that is not suspicious? that it isn't likely that some form of rigging could be behind it favor her?because if your answer really is "well its just a coincidence/luck that pinkie is the one that moved forward" you must be insane
>>42768852Nobody waifus her, but she is basically a saint of /mlp/ and that matters even more because she's dead, the fact she's left alone with waifuing more than cadance cuck is that she's seen as sacred. She has the same purity appeal as Verity, only she was canon and not anything the board had a say over. Pear is one of the only hard wins that Pnkie would have to overcome without rigging. She had the optimism of pinkie, with the powerboost of appul family values. There's no way that toothpaste shit is a harder fight.
>>42768798and i have to spell ot out for you again that that is not a narrative, the thing i was reffering to, no wonder you avoided that part or else you look even more retarded
>>42768874>basically a saint of /mlp/Huh? I don't see her in the catalog. She has zero presence on the board.
>>42768855>noooo don't discuss things aah!
>>42768873>But generals mean nothing, sunset shimmer has generals and she never goes farThat wasn't me by the way. Generals are a poor sign of popularity though since they only show waifufags, which are a minority of total voters for any given pony.>you can change votes at any timeYou can't see the results ahead of time lmao. There's no way to ensure that you get a close result for your preferred pony unless the vast majority of all votes in this tournament are rigged, in which case what's the point of even discussing this?>three of the top competitors lost support overnightPinkie also lost support overnight. Losing a little under 40 voters seems to be standard for RO16 to RO8, the big winner and loser are Roseluck who only lost about 20 and Fluttershy who lost about 50.>you really think that is not suspicious?Sure I think it's weird but I think there's a better explanation which is the one I've laid out.
>>42768874>she is basically a saint of /mlp/????
>>42768874>Pear is one of the only hard wins that Pnkie would have to overcome without riggingironically no, she beat her before
>>42768899Schizo hours

>>42768899Appears you're too brown to understand European concepts
>>42768873Opaline has a general yet she didnt even qualified for the bracket
>>42768887>No verity threads>Verity wins tournament for being an icon of wholesome purity
>>42768905Name a site that isnt rating Perfect Pear as highest score
>>42768912If you were there, you know why she won. It was basically her year.
>>42768915I don't care what some faggots on the internet think. Everyone should form their own opinion without relying on someone else's.
Friendly reminder that beandogs couldn't even make top 100
>>42768920I was there. Derpy is another icon of purity and winner. Pear is seen as an exceptionally good candidate, more than music horse or toothpaste because her episode showed that the show even in late seasons can still produce absolute kino, like the kirin of s8 it reinvigorated part of the fandom. It's quintessential FiM values
>>42768849Ordering these by remaining percent of votes in RO8 compared to RO16:>Roseluck: 92.4% of RO16>Minuette: 88.0% of RO16>Octavia: 87.1% of RO16>Pear Butter: 84.1% of RO16>Pinkie Pie: 80.9% of RO16>Celestia: 78.6% of RO16>Fluttershy: 77.3% of RO16>Cheerilee: 72.2% of RO16Pinkie Pie had the worst dropoff by percentage of any winner in the RO8.
>>42768928There ain't nothing friendly about that reminder, anon
Made an Elite 8 template for Miss /mlp/ this year too, I thought that was a good quote for ponk but let me know if there's another you think would be better
>>42768946Nicely done!
>>42766886"At least I'm not 4th, LMAO!! EAT SHIT ROSEKEK!! IMAGINE LOSING OUT ON THE PODIUM AND GETTING KEKED OUT OF THE DOCTOR BY THE FUCKING RETARD!! YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF, FAGGOT!! SWAG!!"
>>42768928>>42767175
>>42768898>that wasn't me odd because i mesntioned it before and you didn't say anything, point still stands>you can't see the results??? i was talking about what you said of having to be so coordinated, which it isnt that hard to do, if somebody fucks up you can change the votes to still have more towards ponk because as you said before "people will pick the mane 6 more often than not">they all lost supportbut surprisingly only pinkie is the one that got through>the one i've laid outthe one that says its all a huge coincidence, just enough luck that pinkie passed to the next round even thought the supposed ravenfag wanted to make sure all the top competitors were kicked out? that is not better at all
>>42768968Posey is okay because at least she's racist
>>42768908opaline is g5, people would rather vote for the protagonists even if they have negative chances of winning
>>42768968honorary g4 mare
>>42768970Listen, buddy, ignore all of this. We're clearly running in circles here so let's just look at the hard data. >>42768935 Octavia outperformed Pinkie Pie by a significant margin in the RO8. Do you really, sincerely think that Pinkiefags, en masse, coordinated to make sure that Octavia would be a part of the background pony surge but wouldn't overtake their favorite pony? If you think they have that much coordination and control over the vote total then, again, this entire conversation is pointless because every single round is rigged.
>>42768935explain
>>42768978Don't waste your time Anon. He doesn't want to understand, he wants to be mad.Don't let him drive you mad.
>>42768979It's pretty self-explanatory. Pinkie Pie got 81% of the votes she got in the previous round as compared to Roseluck who got 92%. I'm not going to say that's surefire proof of anything, it's just useful data for understanding how the round went. The only definitive thing I'd say is it's proof that Roseluck got boosted fucking hard, whether that's by spitevoting or by spoofing.
>>42768978>ignore all of thisshoukd have done before when you couldn't back up anything you or that other anon said>lets look at the dataDo you really, sincerely think that Pinkiefags, en masse, coordinated to make sure that Octavia would be a part of the background pony surge but wouldn't overtake their favorite pony? what makes you think its THAT difficult in the first placedo you really, seriously think that the explanation of pinkie passing through being a huge coincidence is better and that is makes any lick of sense? >this entire conversation is pointless it has been pointless for a while since neither you or that anon could back up anything and keeo flipping from one excuse to the next only to reach the conclusion that its just luck that she moved to the semis>because every single round is rigged.that's an exaggeration and not really an argument
>>42768908/queen/ is a /dbs/ colony
>>42768999>what makes you think its THAT difficult in the first placeThe vote count between the RO16 and the RO8 went down by a little under 40 votes. If Pinkiefags were mass coordinating and wanted to have a 12-vote win like they ultimately did, and rigged based on the vote count from the previous round since that's the only data they had to go off, they would have overshot and Tavvy would've won the round. There was nothing ahead of time suggesting the vote count would go down by that amount. So either the vast majority of votes are faked in which case there's no point in talking about who's doing the spoofing or there was an attempt to have all upsets and the people spoofing simply didn't do enough to beat Pinkie. Take your pick.
>>42767520>beginning of tourney>"Pinkamena shouldn't be in because she's just a sad Pinkie">end of tourney>"ackshually Pinkamena is completely different from Pinkie so this doesn't count as a win for her"Can't have shit in Miss /mlp/
>>42768874She's a pity pick just like her daughter.
>>42766969I knew I could count on (you). Nice digits too.
>>42768928Posey beaten Scootaloo and Mayor Mare

>>42769021>wanted to have a 12-vote winwhat makes you think they wanted to have THAT specific number? as long as ponk wins and the difference isn't ridiculous like an 80 to 20 it would be fine, she gets votes regardless for being a mane 6, like it was said before>the vast majority of votes are faked i don't know where did you get this stupid idea or why you are pushing it as if it means anything because its dumber than your other point>or there was an attempt to have an upset but it just so happened that said upset only affected 3 candidates negatively and only one got benefitted, went thru and received the easiest path possible, just pure lucktake your pick, youre dellusional or you are naive to not think its suspicious that it just so happened to be in her favour
>>42769068>what makes you think they wanted to have THAT specific number?It doesn't need to be but a bigger difference would be more suspicious. The point is that, presumably, in your world they voted for Tavvy to try and make themselves look less bad, right? Or are you saying that Pinkie voters just voted normally and Tavvy's vote count is just because more people on this board like Tavvy as compared to Pinkie?>i don't know where did you get this stupid idea or why you are pushing it as if it means anything because its dumber than your other pointYou are a fucking moron. I am saying something that's factually untrue to show you how stupid your logic is. The only way to make sure you have a close victory is to control the vast majority of votes, because you don't know ahead of time how anyone else is going to vote. If you don't think that Pinkiefags wanted a close vote then say so.
>>42768619I have no idea what you're talking about, but sunfags seem pretty retarded >>42767776, so I've lost interest.
>>42769078>It doesn't need to then why think it must be that number in specific>but a bigger difference would be more suspicious how? again the only way that would be more suspicious is if it was an outrageous differenceand is it more suspicious than 3 strong competitors suddenly dropping out to basically give her the win? Be serious>i was being retarded on purposeyeah i know, it shows, it doesn't help you it makes you look bad>you need to control the vast majorityno you don't, are you pretending or you actually are? just not over voting octavia would keep things in check, wheter it was the results we got or something slightly higher, as long as it not an extreme difference is okif you don't think that pinkie being the only popular pony that moved on to the semifinals and having the contest won at that point is suspicious just say it
>>42769113>how?I actually had the numbers wrong, correcting my numbers really quick.>Round of 16: Tavi 194 Ponk 220 - 26 vote difference>Round of 8: Tavi 169 Ponk 178 - 9 vote differenceIf they assumed that the total vote count would stay the same as last round, They would have beaten Octavia by a minimum of 25 votes, likely higher for the sake of safety. For reference, the next closest race was Roseluck winning by 19 votes, then Minuette by 20, and Pear Butter had the easiest win, having won by 24 votes. If Pinkiefags were rigging based on the previous round, which again, that's the only information they had to work with, they would've ended up having the biggest victory in the entire round. Instead they had the smallest by a huge margin. Please explain what Pinkiefags did to ensure that result.Also, for the record, I voted Octavia that round.
Congratulations to the Pie sisters for this amazing double victory!
>>42768946With Twilight, Dash, AJ and Pinkie having won and Fluttershy on cooldown next year Rarity has to win or face the utter disgrace of being a main character and losing to background mares and OCs.
>>42769172CUTE
>>42769173If we return to seeded and that dumb two-bracket idea goes through I'd say it's almost certain that Celestia wins it.>>42769172LOL
>>42769173Off-boarder bro... /mlp/ only has cooldowns for the top 4
>>42769172Fun fact, in addition to making it to 3rd last year Marble also won "Best Sister" in 2023So the only Pie sister now without a trophy is Maud
>>42769180No matter when it happens, the year Celestia wins is gonna be one hell of a snorefest
>>42769172Awwn, I love her
>>42769173>Against all odds, Rarity wins the tournament and Fluttershy becomes the last Mane 6 to winUnironically would probably cement Flutters status as the most boring and forgettable member of the Mane 6.I think I actually want Rarity to win now. I feel like the uproar from Flutterfags might actually be bigger and funnier than the uproar from Rarifags if the reverse happened.
>>42769181In that case if either Fluttershy or Rarity fail to win it’s going to be utterly humiliating for either or both of their fans. Better get those alt google accounts set up now.
>>42769189The Maud situation is perhaps one of the biggest examples of /mlp/ hypocrisy ever. Maud is shunned for being a S4 addition that wasn't in S1, while Marble and Limestone can hide behind the paper-thin excuse of being in Pinkie's childhood flashback. Even though those weren't really Marble and Limestone, those were Inkie and Blinkie, they did not have the personalities people like Marble and Limestone for. Marble and Limestone, as in the characters that actually get nominated for Miss /mlp/, only appeared in S5, they are S5 characters for all intents and purposes. So a S4 character is bad, but S5 characters are somehow based if they had a tiny cameo in S1, yet at the same time no one is going to be talking about their S1 era headcanons, only their S5 characterization. Make it make sense.
>>42769211Maudfag cope for being a forced insert as bad as Flurry Heart was for the princess lore
>>42769211I just don't like the autism metaphor pony.
>>42769214Without Maud, Marble and Limestone would not exist the way you like them. They were given the personalities they have to complete the four temperaments. You owe your waifus to Maud's existence.
>>42769211I thought Maud was the most popular Pie sister even on here, and it's only after her literal stick in the mud boyfriend got thrown into the show that she went down in popularity?
>>42769211>d-doesn't countMy favorite /mlp/ cope
>>42769211Wdym? She was right there..
>>42769220>and it's only after her literal stick in the mud boyfriend got thrown into the show that she went down in popularity?That would explain everything.
I do not care for any of the Pie sisters desu, they're all very sub-par shallow characters with little going for them.
>>42769221I'm gonna ask you a simple question. Did you at any point care about Inkie and Blinkie before their S5 episode made them into Marble and Limestone? You're going to perform mental gymnastics and avoid answering that question, because you and I both know the answer is a big fat "NO".
>>42769220>stick in the mudStick in the Maud*>>42769222Checked and kekked
>>42769225True.
>>42769211Maud could've been an early s2 addition and she'd still be a disappointing retcon over the originally teased Pie sisters.>>42769219Nah, other medias do happy plus mad and/or sad without the missing element of autism.
>>42769225I like Maud because she confuses people.>oh, she must be autisticSchizoid, actually.
>>42769226>Did you at any point care about Inkie and BlinkieYes. Do not cite the the deep magic to me faggot, I was there when it was written.
>>42769234>Schizoid, actually.Explain. Are we supposed to believe she's on severe antipsychotics?
>>42769231Again, the Pie sisters you love would not be the way they are without Maud. Even their names got changed to reference other rocks to be in line with Maud.>>42769236So what headcanons did you have about them and why were you willing to reject all of them in favor of a late addition from the show? That's very un-fandomlike.
>>42769240Schizoid as in the personality disorder, which is distinct from schizophrenia. It's characterised by flat affect, disinterest in social relationships, and indifference to praise or criticism. There isn't actually any psychotic element to it.
>>42769241>why were you willing to reject all of themBecause I like Marble and Limestone, faggot. I also enjoyed the old headcanons, but that's all they are at the end of the day. I still look back at them fondly.Not everything is some black and white shitflinging contest. You can enjoy multiple things.
>>42769240Not what schizoid means, that's schizo.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder
>>42769250>doesn't list any headcanonsDo you even remember any?Are you going to say with a straight face that if this was 2014, Inkie and Blinkie would be making semifinals completely on their merits as "le based S1 characters"? You can do mental gymnastics, or you can admit they're S5 characters for all intents and purposes.
>>42769248Her case would be extremely mild by those standards. She shows a genuine interest in making friends.
take ur meds
>>42769258That's because all ponies are inherently predisposed towards friendship. She's got the pony version of the disorder, which must necessarily be more friendship-inclined than the human version.
>>42769225TRVTHNVKE
>>42769263Do you really think the writers looked at an extreme mental disorder and said 'okay, we're not going to stereotype this, we're going to make it fit Equestria'? In the season where Equestria now has McDonalds and Acappella groups?
>>42769254Yes they would win miss /mlp/. Yes you would seethe about it.I await your seething response. Marble and Limey are based and s1pilled and there is no amount of cope on your end that will change that.
>>42769270>Yes they would win miss /mlp/.If they haven't won miss /mlp/ in 7 years by now, why would they win in 2014 with no prominent canon or fanon material?>I await your seething response. Marble and Limey are based and s1pilled and there is no amount of cope on your end that will change that.So you just ran out of arguments and resorted to name-calling. I accept your concession.
>>42769269Not really, I'll admit. It likely wasn't the intention, but she fits the profile of a schizoid better than that of a pure autismo.
>>42769284Fair enough! I'll give you that.
>>42769254Inkie listens to NIN and wears black. Her alternate universe self has an Amythest cutiemark. Limestone was a sweet and kind filly. Both got raped by tentacles to the sound of Pendulum. All canon during season 1 btw.
>>42769275>more copeLol
>>42769314Concession? Accepted.
>>42769344Your cope? Deployed.
>42769348>googoo gagaThis website is 18+.
>>42769150still with that? i guess you were not pretending after allwhat matters is that the result doesn't end up being ridiculous, its not that complicated nor that difficult since pinkie would get votes anyways as said before "from the average anons that would vote for a mane 6">for the record ifor the record i dont care who you voted forIs it or is it not more suspicious that 3 competitive candidates got eliminated but one didn't and reaped all the benefits of an easy victory and the the only explanation you can give is "it was just luck" like a dumbass?
I wonder how many ponkfags are pro-maud and how many are anti-maud. It's one thing to quarrel with the og twin fans, but I can't imagine the absolute devastation maudfags would feel if fans of the super duper positive pony that loves her favorite sister in the show actually couldn't stand her either.
>>42769384>pinkiefags rigged the round>they rigged it so badly that if 40 people hadn't dropped out they would've lostThis is your actual logic lmao.
>>42769364>passive aggressive non replyWoman behavior
>>42769384It wasn't an easy victory. All of her victories after were under 20 votes, which was Minuette's lead over Fluttershy, another mane 6. The finale was extremely tight, might be the slimmest margin iirc.
>>42768252>>42768944>Your blood had been pumping, a bounce in your step.>You've always been an easily excitable pony. In some ways like some other mares in the bracket."Made it..">Top 8, you've been here before, and it's probably one of the reasons why. >It's always been a rush, you can't help but let it shine through."Oh!">Top 4, new territory. Did you catch someponies eye, some secret >And oh, oh wow! the ones at the end you had to go against Roseluck the gardener?>Everypony in Ponyville loved her flowers, and they get to see her every day but they only see you now and then and usually not under the best circumstances. >Your only advantage over her was the home field hosting the pageant in Canterlot, >Surely if it had been hosted in her town then you would be done for. But somehow you did it! >...and then there it was, blasted in the newspaper - Minutte Top 2 of miss mlp 2025!!"Oh, oh! Oh my gosh">You've never been this close before, giddy and prancing in place >Victory only seemed like one more hoofstep away.>Would this year be yours? >Wiping your brow off with a hoof. You were so busy locked up in your own battle that the rest just in one ear and out the other.>You had blinders on. Oops!>So who would be the one to go in a good hoof to hoof over with you in the finals?>Ah, should have seen it coming."Oh.">Of course some of the mane 6 were still in the running, who could have forgotten? It hasn't been long enough that other ponies could be the favorites. >But... there's been other winners who weren't the elements of harmony too right? >So you still had a chance!---"Oh.""Well that's fine. Guess I got too worked up about getting to the final.">At the end of day someone else shot you down. >You've been saying 'oh' a lot the past days, your brain must be fried.>It was time to decompress, even a pony like you can't run on sugarfumes all day long. >You had already kind of given up the day they announced the winner of the last round. >Your hooves were still a little jittery like jello.>Second place, second place.>Afterall nopony was like Pinkie, so losing to her wasn't any huge surprise.>Expected even. >It looked like others agreed with you, saddling you with the silver medal.>Your tail drooped a little>Second place. >Not sad, really you weren't going to cry over it, that would be a little much.>But the final tally was much, much, muuuch closer than you thought it would be.>One of the reasons it gave you such a an emotional whiplash.>You can't help be disappointed, of course that's the normal thing anypony would go through, right?>With the results being so close, were you really that similar to her? >Of course it's nonsense to try to look at it like that, everyponies different and great in their own ways.>If just a liiitle bit more voted for you, you'd have the gold. >Would have.1/?
>>42769538You did good minnieyou did real good
>>42769172Beyond cute
>>42769225Hey fuck you buddy
Being it hasn't been a full day since the contest ended, I am making one more thread for the Afterparty, as well as to allow a bit more time for the Post-Pageant poll to get filled out. I imagine the posting will be slower now so it will most likely be the last, and we should have time for posting the poll results and any further discussion, especially with laying down an updated ruleset for Mr. /mlp/>>42769657>>42769657>>42769657
>>42769391To be honest, I never thought about it that way. I've been here for a long time, I don't expect /mlp/ to be above hating perfectly fine characters for petty arbitrary reasons.
>>42769538>meanwhile, the mare in 45th place
