Bracket Wars
« on: April 08, 2016, 11:22:33 am »
With the Bracket Fad going on (Thanks, Donald X.) I have devised a new game.

1. Accatitippi
2. Haddock
3. liopoil
4.
5. Davio
6. ADrownedKernel
7. J Reggie
8. Awaclus
9. Roadrunner
10. Gkeig12
11. Ashersky
12. Scott_pilgrim
13. LibraryAdventurer
14. Hydrad
15.IguanaIguana
16. Silverspawn

16 players are needed.

Each player will send me two random things/topics/people/nouns via PMs, and I will bracket them using random RNG.

Voting in each round will take place in this thread over the course of 24 hours. In the event of a tie, I'll flip a coin or something, so try not to get a tie. :p

Whoever owns the item that wins the bracket wins the game. It's kind of like Apples to Apples, but with BRACKETS.

I'd say the only rule is not to reveal who submitted what.

So yeah, who's ready to play the most lamest game since the dawn of Monopoly?

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

M Town Wins-Losses (6-2, 75%): 71, 72, 76, 81, 83, 87 - 79, 82.  M Scum Wins-Losses (2-1, 67%): 80, 101 - 70.
RMM Town Wins-Losses (3-1, 75%): 42, 47, 49 - 31.  RMM Scum Wins-Losses (3-3, 50%): 33, 37, 43 - 29, 32, 35.
Modded: M75, M84, RMM38.     Mislynched (M-RMM): None - 42.     Correctly lynched (M-RMM): 101 - 33, 33, 35.       MVPs: RMM37, M87

Hell yeah, /in

Just: why not 8 or 12 players? 20 things are an awkward quantity for single elimination brackets.

And by random, you mean literally anything. There is no theme to it or anything. Are there restrictions? Like, could a picture be submitted? A video? A haiku? A limerick? A single word?

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

It should be a noun.

Can it be more than one word, as long as it describes a single thing? Like you would have in a basic Cards Against Humanity white card.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Yes. If you do a super long one now, everyone is going to know it's you.

Also, 12 won't really work, will it?

24->12->6->3

Need to use powers of 2. So, like 16. Or 8. Or 32.

This is filling fast enough I bet we can get 16

You can always set up a 2^ceil(log_2(N)) bracket and have the top 2^ceil(log_2(N))-N spots gets byes

Edit:  In other words, with 12, you'd have a bracket of 16 with

1
bye

9
8

4
bye

12
5

2
bye

10
7

5
bye

11
6
