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.

Unfortunately we closed our entry invitations a while ago.

But once the tournament is over you can try to join next year's list of participants.

An awesome entry submission! It truly is! Unfortunately, the tournament is just about to wrap up in a few days. But if you wish to join into the next tournament (CRAB4), you can enter the CRAB Pit and show us a bit more of your work and all.

That's it, just a gigantic Bucket floating in space.

Anyone who:


Automatically loses.

If both fighters are knocked out and neither can reach their feet by the count of ten, the match will be declared a Draw.

Things NOT allowed:


The Bucket is protected by my most powerful spells - it is indestructible. The arena itself however can be destroyed.

Things that are frowned upon:

Receiving help from other crabs during the duel (KWAB)

Things you're entitled to:

Achieving your Full Potential - utilising all the power ups, past and future, of your respective universe. Nothing is beyond my reach.

FAQ

Order/sequence of the duels?

All duels occur simultaneously in different dimensions. There is no order and no sequence.

Multiple fighters (like Soren & Centurion or Desmond & Guido) do they both have to get knocked out or just one?

Both

Characters like Tredecima or Wanzu who have clones/avatars outside the bucket, do all clones/avatars that want to participate in the fight have to start the match inside the ring?

If they are outside the Bucket, they cannot interfere inside.

It is not possible for the same entity to be simultaneously inside and outside. Either you are in or you are out (and lose).

When one of the clones/fighters/avatars is knocked out of the ring, are they out of the fight and can no longer participate?

I will leave that answer to whoever has to deal with such nonsense

Can the Bucket arena change size and architecture on the fly, or it has to be an exact platform?

It just stays the same.
But if you are able to change the dimensions in any way, you better have an excellent argument to justify it.

The team with most points at the end gets to win and most importantly, their Wish (tm). The rest will see their worlds/universes obliterated along with them and all the gnomes in existence.
