Tournament: Cosmere Character Roast Battles

[Ashspren Midnight Essence]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Cosmere Character Roast Battle Tournament!

The Sharder currently in charge is @Ghanderflaffle. Please direct your questions to her instead of Ashspren.

There are RoW spoilers in this thread. You have been warned.

 

Here’s a rough outline of how this is gonna work…

1. Up to 16 people sign up.
2. I will RANDOMLY choose four characters to go against each other. The people who are representing these characters will write a rap, roasting the other characters– every character for themselves. They will have 48 hours, otherwise they will forfeit. If all people forfeit, they are all out. 
3. Votes for the best rap will be using a link to a survey.
4. The person with the most votes after 24 hours wins! I will announce the winner, then announce the next people.

---

More In-Depth Tournament Structure:

 

In the first round, there will be 4 people participating per competition (ex- Sarene, Kaladin, Vin, Vasher) and they will all be going against each other. There will be one winner out of the four.

 

That will narrow things down to 4 people left in the tournament. These competitions will be in pairs (ex- Vin vs Hoid, Kelsier vs Dalinar).

 

The final two will go head-to-head in the Roast Finale. 

---

Fillers:

If you are too late to sign up for this round, you might still be able to compete! You will be put on a waiting list, so if anyone is unable to participate, you can step in and represent their character. However, this is only for the primary round. In the semifinals and championships, if someone is unable to compete, the second place winner from their previous match will step in. They will also have to represent the previous person's character.

If you are a filler person, you are allowed to be on the reserved list for the next tournament. However, if you are pulled into the current tournament, you will be taken off the reserved list. 

---

Ties: 

If we are in the face of a tie, the two people who tied will have up to 8 lines to roast the other person. These mini-roasts, plus the actual raps themselves, will determine the winner of that round. 

---

If you’re interested in writing raps to roast other characters, comment which character you would like to represent. No duplicates, please! There can be up to 16 people participating, because this is the Cosmere, and 16 is important. I will start the competitions once 16 people have commented. Tag anyone who you think might be interested!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You do not have to actually rap! Just think of it more as writing poetry, but “roasting with poetry” just didn’t have the right ring to it...

Awesome choices, everyone! We need 12 more people to start, so if anyone could tag people who they think might be interested, please do. 

[Argent Splinter]

This is probably a better fit in General Brandon Discussion. Though if we stray into spoiler territory, I might send it back to.

[Herowannabe Most Ancient]

This sounds awesome- I think I’ll pass on signing up, at least for the first round, because I’m white and cannot rap. 

I will say though that you should probably judge results via a poll, rather than upvotes. Mucking about with upvotes for the purposes of the rules of a game tends to be frowned upon.

I’ve actually changed the rules between a poll and upvotes multiple times. I get what you’re saying about upvotes— I’ll change it.

[Matias Prelan]

How will you know the rhythm of the rap, or will it be like poetry?

I’m basically thinking like poetry.

Roasts with a Rhyme.

I can’t rap, but I have nothing better to do. Sign me up as Amaram (I will get roasted so hard it ain’t even funny).

Haha, I love it! Glad to have Amaram on board. 

 

@Nathrangking, yes– you will be roasting your opponents. Sorry, I just saw your edit. 

Also, just to clarify— nobody will actually be rapping, it will just be writing out “roasts with rhymes” on the thread. Just wanted to clarify that, in case anyone was confused.

So If I don't have to sing I'm in. I'll take Vivenna. So man People dislike her, that should be funny.

One question to the rules: you choose Four persons to go against each other. Do I write one "Rap" or Three? And how long?

[The Harlem Worldhoppers Envisager]

I'll do Moash. The low hanging fruit is sweetest.

@Sorana, it’s completely up to you. You can roast as many of the other characters you want, and make the “rap” as long as you want. Whatever you think you can do to win. 

Mans one more clarification thing— you aren’t roasting the character you representing. You can, however, make references from your own character’s achievements to slight the ones of others. (I don’t know if anyone was actually wondering that, but a friend of mine was reading the rules and was confused. Better safe than sorry, I guess.)

 

Edit: 10/16 people, everyone! That’s the same number of Shards that we know. Hopefully, it won’t take 30 years to get another 6 people to join...
