Voting anchor

>>18044163
Eh, it's a bit of an awkward line but I personally think The Grim Reaper is eligible. I mean the first ever Emperor of /his/ had Jesus as one of it's finalist and depending on your worldview he's not real either.
Plus Death's been a historical figure since the 15th century, so he's got seniority. I'm not the one running this thing though, so it's up to ANEgroid

>Darwin vs. Charlie VIII
KEK
how many votes are we allowed?

>>18044188
Things such as that can be put up to a vote at the end of the tournament if need be, but the precedent is that mythological and folklore figures are allowed as long as they are more /his/ and less /lit/

>>18044191
The Emperor of /his/ tournament subscribes to the highest level of voting security

For me it's Hulk Hogan vs Tamerlane

How do I vote. I'm not registering an account for this

Hang on, why did you include Howard Stern but decline to accept the Trump nomination, that doesn't check out

>>18044919
Howard Stern was more widely known than Trump prior to the Apprentice TV show, which didn't start until 2004

I vote for hitler vs henry V final

mods cast my vote im not making an account

>>18044925
That is not even close to true dung-for-brains. If you don't want to include trump for recency bias get Howard fucking stern the shit off this bracket and give his spot to the next anon ITT to nominate someone. Ridiculous

>>18044935
Howard has been the king of all media since 1992 though. I'm not the poll organizer, so don't whine to me about it.

>>18044919
Trump is definitively at his most prominent right now, unlike Stern. If Trump had not gotten involved with politics he might have qualified.

>Australia is Emperorless
feels bad.. could argue Captain Cook is the closest

>>18044972
That makes no sense whatsoever. Get stern off there and quit playing around. Trump was world famous twenty years before fat coastal shut-ins ever heard Howard Stern on pay per view radio. Ridiculous.

Who cares about that fat bastard? We could be having so many interesting choices from the past and other continents instead.
Give people the motivation to bring up names of people who are not talked about as often.
We hear about that man 24/7 even when he is not from your country!

Do we really want the cheetodust man in this competition?

There's just no way Howard Stern qualifies under the same ruleset that disqualifies trump. Neither should be on in that case.

>>18045009
Howard is in on the same grounds as any other nominee who is or was still alive in the past 25 years.
These include
>Michael Jackson
>Ron Paul
>Michael Schumacher
>Franco Freda
>Muammar Gaddafi
>Fidel Castro
>Bill Gates
>General Butt Naked
>Hulk Hogan
>Simo Häyhä
>Ian Smith
>Boris Yeltsin
>Dennis Kucinich

If Stern really does stick out like a sore thumb among them, then an argument can be made.

>>18045035
If that's your argument in favor of Howard then it also applies to trump exactly the same

>>18045037
My argument against Trump is also the same argument against Arnold Schwarzenegger. And the position on that not will not change mid tournament, but it will be on the vote at the end of it once again. However, if Stern or any other individual seems as though they should not be there I am willing to hear you out.

>>18045044
What disqualifies Arnold but allows ron Paul, kucinich, Schumacher?? Makes no sense. Look I get you don't want trump on there as a distraction or whatever so how about you just take Howard off and I'll drop the issue.

In fact Arnold would be a better replacement for Howard just swap them

>>18045048
In Arnold's case he was nominated as the governor of California. His acting career may be more prominent arguably. But now that you've opened that can of worms I would rather like to hear if there are any other contestants I should be concerned about before the tournament begins.
As for Ron and Kucinich, their political career began before this millenium and Schumacher is sort of an edge case like Stern I feel. His prime time might have been the early 2000s, but his career began well in the 90s.

>>18045055
At least Schumacher is the greatest to ever do it at something. Stern sticks out like a sore thumb on here. Arnold's acting career is way bigger than anything that curly haired child molesting parasite has ever even claimed to have done. There's people in the USA that have never even heard of him especially the under-25s. Arnold you can go to Turkmenistan or Mauritania and they'll recognize him. Other than that the bracket looks good.

>>18045066
Hmm, all right then.
But do keep in mind I will stick to the seeding protocol, so this will mean some matchup changes.

>>18045071
Thank you for your noble discernment of justice in this matter, may your survey be blessed by a thousand responses

Frankly the real challenge here seems to be who we'll all agree should replace him. Someone earlier lamented Emperor Norton, who could be a funny pick. Although I'd throw into my hat into the ring and suggest Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller The Second. AKA: The Canine who became president

>>18045084
Well anon made a good point about Arnold, I don't think he's quite like Reagan where he's known more about his politics than his acting career. On the other hand Lyndon B. Johnson was inquired about in the last thread. But I wouldn't want to dwell on that too much, so until further notice Arnold shall take up Sterns position for now.

>>18045066
Stern practically reinvented talk radio through the '80s and '90s and remained fairly influential into the 2010s.
His show incorporated absurdist humor long before it was popularized by the internet. A lot of what he was involved in was well ahead of its time.
Certainly Schwarzenegger is a more influential and popular figure, but that shouldn't bar Stern from entering the tournament.
And I agree that Trump and Schwarzenegger should've been allowed in to begin with, but we're also missing a lot of prominent and /his/pilled figures from Caesar to Emperor Norton.

>>18045133
Anons can sort out their feelings on the nominees until the tournament officially begins. While Trump has his history beyond his presidency, it is what he's most well known for right now. But things such as this will be on the vote at the end of the tournament.

>>18044723
Map of the geographic distribution

I think Pedro I would be a based choice but also the Irish choice would be funny for the rage

>>18045084
What about that monkey the British taught to operate train switches. Fuck now I wish I had nominated him.

I'm already predicting that Franco Freda will do well until reaching Anne Frank. Anne will win that pretty easily

This is the most autistic thread on /his/. I feel very much at home here.

I don't feel so based right now cause I almost forgot my favorite obscure emperor Valentinian the Great. Few loved Rome more than he did. Literally died of excessive rage as he was berating barbarian chiefs who had not done their job to his satisfaction.

Genghis Khan vs Cyrus the Great
Hulk Hogan vs Timur
Grim Reaper vs Evola
Kucinic vs Mussolini

>>18046006
Thanks what a fun eclectic mix. One correction is Bladud hails from 863 BC, he's the father of King Lear, that's his historical significance.
Some tough matchups here, Henry Every gets a brutal draw against Teddy. Richard the Lionheart vs Constantine and Thutmose III vs Tojo are good ones. Hulk Hogan vs Timur is by far the funniest. Hope Ian Smith goes far.

>Victoria vs Elizabeth
>Pot vs Castro
Some thematic matches in round 1 already

>>18045823
>Genghis Khan vs Cyrus the Great
This one I kept going back and forth on

>>18046100
I will include that adjustment for the next form.

Current political figures shouldn't be in because allowing them is practically asking for /pol/ memes to shit up the vote.

Okay, but what's the easiest, most braindead matchup? One that makes you ask "who the hell would vote for the other guy here?"

>>18046124
At least we managed to avoid Tr*mp and a certain martyr figure

>>18046003
>sign in to continue

some of these are actually pretty hard choices

Support Anthony Wayne. He was one of Washington’s competent generals.
>American intelligence failures and British maneuvers spelled defeat for the Americans at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, but staunch defensive fighting by Wayne’s division against a Hessian force twice its size for two hours kept the defeat from being even worse.
>Wayne meticulously planned the assault on Stony Point. Wayne assembled a small, elite cadre of soldiers from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina for a daring and highly secretive mission. On the night of July 15, 1779 Wayne and his men gathered at the foot of Stony Point. While they met heavy resistance, the element of surprise and the precision of planning and execution gave an edge to the American attackers. Wayne was briefly stunned by a musket ball to the head during the battle, but he was able to provide the Americans with a much-needed tactical victory, capturing the fort and 543 British prisoners. Sixty-three British were killed. The Americans lost fifteen, while eighty-three were wounded.
>After the American victory at Yorktown, Wayne and his men moved to Georgia, where Wayne’s men defeated the Creek Nation allied to the British in June of 1782, secured Savannah after the British evacuation that same summer, and were the first Americans to enter Charleston, South Carolina, following the British evacuation in December.
>Wayne’s most impactful action was after the Revolutionary War when he was given command of the Legion of the United States to quell the Indians in the Northwest territory. On August 20, 1794, Wayne’s well-drilled Legion defeated a combined force of Native Americans and Canadians in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. In the Treaty of Greenville the Native Americans who signed surrendered of all claims to Ohio. The victory helped convince the British to abandon their forts in the area as well.

there are several of these that are just meme choices vs. legitimately good picks.

Nappy and Alexander (and arguably Charlemagne as well) seem like too obvious of candidates since they're some of the greatest conquerors in history, plus part of the appeal of these things is the chance for a lesser known, personally favorited historical figure to get high up on the leaderboard. Hitler is just in because there's always going to be at least one person who votes Hitler.

>>18045165
I do find it interesting how (presumably) over-represented Americans are, I expected many more Europeans and Near-Eastern figures relative to New World ones, even if Americans still make up the majority of users on this website. Though I do know that American history itself is pretty popular to study among the rest of the world so there's probably some Korean nigga out there who's happy his favorite 1800s American president is on the poll.

Literally any GerMAN ever in history. They conquered the rom"men" more times than can be counted and never gave up their land or language. on the contrary, they took the empire for themselves and became Holy in the process.

That's retarded, jesus was definitely real even if not like how history remembers him, but the grim reaper is simply not nor never has been real. may as well put santa claus the emperor of christmas on the list but even then he has historical basis in saint nicholas of myra

Match 6 is /co/ vs /mu/

>>18051605
Cook would blast him in half. Also, only good Americans left are Applewhite and Kinevel. Should have nominated Rockefeller in hindsight

>>18053156
Cook got BTFO'd by a handful of syphilis-ridden island niggers. He ain't doing shit against my whicket smaht boy John

Event has been delayed to tomorrow, due to inclement weather.

I can't believe Richelieu got btfo'd by Steve Buscemi.
But then I haven't seen any dedicated 16-17th century autists on this board since at least Covid-chan. VGH... I miss old /his/...

Blackbeard would be a pretty cool winner I think

Hey, just wanted to remind /his/ anons that these tournaments (this one included) have their very own Wiki.
Sadly, there is no article for this year or last year, so I kindly invite you to join and help us out.

>>18054738
Oh yeah, thanks. And thanks to whoever's been updating the current round on the front page.

>all these meme nominations
yeahhhhhhhhh its another tnt tournament like /an/

>>18054791
>meme nominations
Like who?

>>18054929
Assume they mean Butt Naked and Long John Baldry. I get it at first glance and I wouldn't say either would be particularly strong semi-finalists or higher. Still, Butt Naked has more to talk about than just his name and John did more than voice Robotnik.

>the romans lost
Fiddle sticks!

To S.A.

I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To earn you Freedom, the seven-pillared worthy house,
that your eyes might be shining for me
When we came.

Death seemed my servant on the road, till we were near
and saw you waiting:
When you smiled, and in sorrowful envy he outran me
and took you apart:
Into his quietness.

Love, the way-weary, groped to your body, our brief wage
ours for the moment
Before earth's soft hand explored your shape, and the blind
worms grew fat upon
Your substance.

Men prayed me that I set our work, the inviolate house,
as a menory of you.
But for fit monument I shattered it, unfinished: and now
The little things creep out to patch themselves hovels
in the marred shadow
Of your gift.
— T.E. Lawrence

For the last poll there will be questions regarding the conduct of the tournament, so you may feel free to air any potential issues that could be voted upon here

My only issue is the meme candidates everyone voted for but otherwise great tourney, OP

>>18056542
I think that nominations should have lasted longer and that there should have been a qualifier round.

>>18056550
OP make it happen let's do Round 2

>>18056550
Eh, before this year this tournament had trouble even getting 64 nominees. So there was never really any need for a qualifier poll.
Would probably be a good idea to implement one if this year wasn't a fluke and we get 100+ noms

>>18054338
AND THE STUNT WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

>>18056575
I doubt a qualifier round makes much sense if 128+ nominees cannot be mustered within 24 hours, I don't want this to drag on too long. But I'll put it up to vote, and how big this tourney should aim to be in the future.

Posting another quote from Seven Pillars of Wisdom:
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

An interesting lot indeed

>>18056608
T.E. Lawrence in media:
>Lawrence of Arabia
One of the greatest movies of all time explores his participation in the Arab Revolt, it's aftermath, as well as his internal conflicts, showing him for the endlessly fascinating and paradoxical figure that he was. Some of it may be entirely invented, but it's not like Lawrence himself is innocent of stretching the truth.

>Seven Pillars of Wisdom by Sabaton
I'm not a fan, but this epic song serves well enough as an epic chronicle of Lawrence's efforts in the peninsula.

>>18056610
With the loss of Joan, we have no returning quarterfinalists this year, meaning Napoleon remains the only one to have achieved this feat so far.

>>18056706
Looks like the Union Army provided just the clearance Evel needed to complete the jump.

I hope when mr co comes, droopy will qualify...

IMAGINE, ANON

Vote Cook if you want the West to Ride Again. Vote Stalin if you are a supreme Gulag Cuck

this tournament is once again proving that anglos (brits and americans) are the main characters of history

>>18057556
I think this is the first year where any Anglo made it this far, and now there's several of them. They seem to be taking over.

Could be a solid final two or a completely horrendous one.

I'm gonna say it, Stalin's funny gif gives him a nigger buff.

And we're at bump limit

Well looks like we will finish it in this thread then.

>>18062030
Smaller board bump limit is 315 exactly for some reason instead of 500 or 300

>>18062043

>>18062064
Not to start shit, but you mean to tell me that this is the third installment of Emperor of /his/ and you're only now finding out what the bump limit is?

>>18062080
none of them have ever reached the bump limit. Threads here rarely do

Now, any last minute questions that ought to be addressed in the final poll before I put it up here?

>FDR has the most 7th place votes by a lot, and almost the most 8th place ones
GOOD.

What's 5th through 8th?

>>18062537
>one of the greatest US presidents with a vast legacy that goes beyond being one of Eggman's design influences
vs.
>a singer no one talked about on /his/, known primarily nowadays for voicing Eggman than his other accomplishments
That's like calling Felix the Cat a Sonic proxy. Never mind the fact that Teddy and Baldry already had a match for the Eggman connection.

What confuses me is that I didn't see much specific talk around Baldry, whether here or on /tnt/, until he beat Teddy. The only early Eggman comparison was by >>18047512, and even then a lot of talk has simply been around how he got so far in the tournament. Makes it hard to fixate on him being some sort of proxy. He feels like an anomaly more than anything. A cool person in his lifetime and certainly more than one of the first voices for Robotnik, yet a real surprising pick to have made top four.
