Paranoid King

@Ark1002, how is the roast coming?

@John203 and @Rushu42, votes are tied right now. We can get one more vote to tip the scales, or the two of you can do a mini-roast to settle the tie. Which would you prefer?

Sorry about that, everyone. I somehow managed to close the vote before it started. Let me know if this one works:

@Rushu42, how is the roast going? Time's up, but I'd like to give you a day to respond, if @John203 is OK with that

I believe the time has run out for Oduim?

@Paranoid King

Indeed it has.

Given that @That Violin Guy (or @Oduim’s Chmapion) have not responded yet, the round goes to @FatherTiempo. Congratulations! That was an excellent roast.

The current score is:

Scadrial: 1

Roshar: 1

Our next two competitors are @John203 (as Chiri-Chiri) vs. @Rushu42 (as Steris).

Your roasts are due by Oct. 15. Best of luck to the both of you!

@That Violin Guy, you have one more day to submit your roast, before Tiempo wins by default!

If you need more time, I'm willing to work with you, but if you don't respond by tomorrow, I'll have to end this round.

Let me know how things are going! Good luck!

@FatherTiempo and @That Violin Guy, you have 1 day to submit your roasts!

And the votes are in!

This was a close match, but in the end, @Handerfle pulled ahead. Congratulations!

The current score is:

Scadrial: 1

Roshar: 0

When's voting over? The suspense is killing me.  @Paranoid King

Hmm... I can't decide between 24 and 48 hours. On the one hand, I want to release results. On the other hand, the vote's almost tied right now.

You'll know the results for sure by tomorrow, though.

Great roasts, you two! I can't wait to see who wins this one!

Our next two contestants are:

@FatherTiempo (Jasnah) and @That Violin Guy (Sazed)

Best of luck to the both of you! You have until Oct. 6 to submit your roasts.

Whoops, sorry for springing this on you so quickly. I can move the due date back to the 29th. How does that work for you, @Ghanderflaffle and @Sorana?

That’s 2. I think we are even now.

Ok when does this start.

I think now we tag the one and only @Paranoid King 

Always good to see the hype building up.

We're good to go! The tournament is run as is normal, but all battles will only be between Scadrians and Rosharians. That means that you can collaborate with your team through private messages, google docs, or whatever else you want. Your roasts should still focus on roasting a character, but you can roast the whole world, if you so choose.

The teams are as follows:

Roshar:

Wait, I can actually do Stick??

Sure, why not? Herowannabe played stick back in round 2 and did a fine job. I don't see any reason why you can't do the same.

I'll definitely take Jasnah. 

Noted.

28 minutes ago, FatherTiempo said:

Will the tournament have Rosharan's vs. Scardians in the roast battles? Then we total up the points to see if Roshar or Scadrial won?

That's a fun idea. I'll make you a deal - if we can get an equal number of each, we can make it a team battle.

Alright, it's time for sign-ups to open! The theme for this round will be Scadrial vs. Roshar! Just post the name of your character, and if you can convince me that they're from one of those two planets, you're in!

Rules are here, but feel free to ask questions if you have any.

I’m really sorry guys. I’ve been trying to write a post over the past week or so, but I’ve just been way too busy to be able to commit enough time to this, especially in a way that Itiah.’s amazing roast deserves. I really wish that I could have, but unfortunately real life has to take precedence. So I’m going to go ahead and post the 5 stanzas I have, but please consider this a forfeit.

Nah, don't worry about it. These 5 stanzas are top quality! The flow, the humor, the references... All perfect, and I only wish I had more.

As SnipExe has chosen to forfeit, the championship goes to @I think I am here. Congratulations, it looks like you've won another one!

We'll have a few days intermission, then I'll open up the signups for tournament 7. Before then, I'd like to hear what people would like included in this next tournament. Cosmere-only, non-cosmere, both, or something else entirely? Let me know what you think, and I'll do my best to work with it.

Double post, but I have new content to add and I want to bump this to the top!

This rap is long overdue, but Tobias was just warming up his vocal skills for the finals .
So, without further babble I present to you, Stephen Leeds' best aspect, the Morgan Freeman himself... Tobiaaaaaaaas!

I gotta say, that was fantastic! One of the best roasts I have read yet.

@Snipexe, I know you're cooking up a dish just as good as this one, but for the sake of keeping things moving, I'll have to ask that you finish within three days.

Best of luck to you!

Hey, quick update: School will be starting soon, and with that and part-time work, I won't have as much time to moderate the roast battles. I'll still pop in now and again, but I'll be much less active.

@I think I am here. and @Snipexe, you're good to go on the champion roasts. Just post your finished raps once they're done!

Is it possible to forfeit?

Nah, that's fine. As AonEne said, it's a well-honored tradition around here.

 @Paranoid King, @MetaTerminal Here you go:

A Roast of Stephen and Company:

Did... did you just roast 23 people? In alphabetical order? What a champ! If only I had more upvotes to give...

Next up is the final battle between @I think I am here. and @Snipexe!

@Snipexe, you just finished your last battle, so feel free to take a few extra days on this one. I look forward to seeing the champion roast! Good luck!

@Snipexe, @MetaTerminal, time is up. Let us know how your roasts are coming along!

Wow, that timing was and is really unfortunate for me. Could I get another day or so? I don’t mind if Snip gets extra time as well.

No problem. I'm moving apartments tomorrow anyways, so I'll give you both another 2 days.

And the winner of the previous round is @I think I am here. Congratulations!

I'm not 100% sure about the time, but I think, I was already too late, so here a small reminder

Not at all. At least, you're both within the timer I set.

And boy howdy, you both used that time well! These roasts are fantastic! I actually took a minute to look up Vince Vaughn, 'cause I didn't know who he was. And I love Melody's motivational roast. It's so wholesome.

Vote on the winner here: https://forms.gle/81UcEuhsdL2n47zu6

Next up is @Snipexe as Jason Write!

And @MetaTerminal as Stephen Leeds!

You have 48 hours. Good luck!

I'll be back in the evening of August 4. So August 5 would be better.

Sounds good to me. August 5 it is!

And the votes are in!

Congratulations to @MetaTerminal! Looks like you're taking the leed in this match.

The current contenders for the second round are @Sorana, @I think I am here., @Snipexe, and @MetaTerminal. Well done to the four of you for making it to the second round!

And congratulations to our other contestants, too! I've enjoyed each and every roast so far. I hope to have you back in the next tournament!

And that's the end of the first bracket! We'll be having a short break before we begin round two. We should be back... August 4? @Sorana, how does that work for you?
