have decided to be eshonai, and taking a wild guess and say the silbing wants to be the sibling.

 

That was a very accurate wild guess, especially considering I already said that earlier in this forum

This list will be kept updated as more people join, please advertise for this so it doesn't just flop!!

We might have to do smaller games than 16 people because I don't think that many will join. Maybe I should add this to my signature. We need to get the word out, so maybe also status updates?

Already did an SU, mentioned the probably less than 16 people thing

And sorry I didn't look back very far for who people wanted to be

I know. I said that a really long time ago so it’s all good. I was just saying to wert that it probably wasn’t that hard for them to guess.

I would like to throw my hat into the ring as Adolin.

Got it!

Wait @The Sibling @DramaQueen I would love to organize this! Do you guys want to participate and let me do the technical stuff? Cause it doesn’t seem too hard 

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Oh, sure!! I'll compete as...hm. I was Spook last time I did this, so I probably should pick a character I'm not as practiced writing as...

I'll be Elend, I guess.

Don’t start roasting yet!

[The Stormfather He/Him]

I can't think of any.

sadly.

[The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him]

Im kind of thinking we get one more person, do groups of three, and the winners of each group go against one another. Is that okay?

[The Stormfather He/Him]

yeah that works!

everybody do a status update advertisement.

[Channelknight Fadran]

OKAY FINE

but I'm doing Wayne

[The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him]

Perfect!

By a random number generator, the first three competitors are… @stormform wert as Eshonai! @The Sibling as The Sibling! And last but not least, @Channelknight Fadran as Wayne!

I’m going to start the first submission round of the revived Roast Battle at 8:00 EST (or whatever eastern is on rn)!

(thx for joining Fadran)

this might have been a mistake

[yeshevishman he/him]

Wait, does it work with three people? I don't think I understand these bracket.

So, for example, wert will roast Fadran and Sibling, and they will also roast him. So instead of roasting three people they will roast two. The we’ll go straight to the winners. Hopefully in the next round we’ll do it with 16. Kolo?

[The Sibling she/her]

Sounds good! I'm so glad this is already starting  We have 48 hours to come up with them right?

It's really difficult to write when focused on two people.  It honestly doesn't sound like it will work well.  I think if we want to do a "group of three" do two separate battles with each person to give each battle the focus it deserves.

I mean, didn't it used to be focusing on three other people?

I don't see how this is different. I think that it should be fine.

That’s what you do if you win your first battle. I would recommend reading the rules on page 1

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

What I did last time was have one stanza per person.

So:

Intro

Roasting person 1

Roasting person 2

Roasting person 3

Closing out
