1ST STAGE
Stage Theme: Quest
Stage Location: Centuria
Crabs, I will send you to Centuria, a fantastic planet that I find very entertaining and watch when I get extra bored. There is a continent divided among four dominant factions, each with their own beliefs, goals and systems of governance.
The Empire is on a crusade to unify Centuria under a banner of order and progress, but faces fierce resistance from the Savage Hordes, who thrive on chaos and seek to dominate through force and fear. The Forest Alliance fiercely defends its ancient forests and magical groves, opposing the Empire's industrial expansion and the wanton destruction of the Hordes. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood of Shadows weaves a web of intrigue and manipulation, pitting the other factions against each other to amass power and control from the shadows.
You, crabs, will be part of this intricate web of alliances, conflicts and betrayals that will forge Centuria's destiny, and you will assist through Quests each faction in the effort to achieve their own vision of the future. The fate of Centuria hangs in the balance and I send my 60 agents for shits and giggles.
Which one is your favorite Match up?
The Weak shall fear the Stench.
Previously on CRAB Tourney Saga
After CRAB 2, Janitor spent the rest of the aftermath taking care of the abandoned hotel that was run by his previous team of the second tournament, who have now been turned to juice by the Gamemaster, except for him. It wouldn't take long and Janitor, once again, would be part of a new event that will decide the fate of everyone who takes part (unwillingly or not).

OCs from multiple universes will be kidnapped by me, the Gamemaster @gamemasterchan, put into teams and take part in many extreme challenges to obtain a single Wish, whatever it may be!
For the 3rd edition, I've sought to expand its scope from beyond the current pool of potential crabs acquired. Therefore, I've decided that Newgrounds could be a good place for /CRAB/ to grow and prosper. Is your character up to it?
Q&A
How to join the event (18+ only)?
Share a comic, illustration, puppet show, animation, video game, music album or whatever your heart desires of your original character. Show them introducing themselves, fighting, being kidnapped by the GM or whatever you deem appropriate. The entry can be as small as a single image or as big as a 50 page epic. The most common choice is comic but many people have done different things the entire tournament.
Third Tournament?
Two years ago we organized on /co/ (4chan) the most successful OC Tournament with guests from various boards (20+) and then we improved the formula the following year with 48 OCs for /crab/2.
When does it start? How long would it take?
Mid July. 3 rounds in about 11 weeks.
Do I need to know what happened in the previous parts?
Not really, but if you’re interested, you can dig deeper in our discord or archive.
Discord?
Access for contestants only.
Are they individual or group duels?
Depending on the number, teams of 4, 5 or even 6 characters would be formed. Last year we had 8 teams of 6 characters.
What types of duels?
Thematically, only one of the three planned stages is Combat, the other two can be anything. The First year it was Dance and Cooking. Then Sports and Leisure in the Second.
How’s a winner declared?
Individual points will be added to the team total, defined by voting. There is no elimination so you have a chance to come back. The team with the most points at the end takes all.
How does communication work?
Mainly on Discord, for the simple reason that it's not efficient to keep communication only in the threads. However it is possible to avoid Discord at your own risk, one of the contestants last year did it.
Who runs everything?
Me, the Gamemaster, a multidimensional wizard of thousands of years of virginity and power.

Should you choose to enter your precious character, a dear future crab, be warned that many great and terrible things await them in my Bucket. Though there is much to lose in this tournament, there is much to gain. Do they seek wealth? Power? Some other base desire, perhaps. Doesn’t matter what their wish may be, it will be granted should they win. Whatever walk of life they come from, I’m looking for crabs who won’t shirk from attaining their goal. One not just with an exoskeleton, mind you, but those that stand vertebrate. One whose true nature endures against the perils that await them. What will your crab do to gain their fondest dream? No matter what path you choose, always remember that you cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a crab.
