What kinda person names their kid "Evil"? Even if it rhymes with their last name, that's kinda weird.

>>18063722
Baka, Evel's real name was Robert Craig Knievel

I'm reading up on Mr. Knievel and honestly he might not even be that bad of a finalist. LIke what do you mean he's technically the reason the phrase "jump the shark" became widely-used lingo

>>18063790
He's a bad /his/ finalist. Not representative of the board.

damn this board is so gay. Who the hell voted like this?

>>18063829
Clowns and pranksters

>Thread devolves into people bitching about the top contenders and how their only winning because of behind the scenes shenanigans
Wow this really is like the other board tournaments

>>18063829
many of the votes were obviously botted, there's like 3x as many votes as one would expect

Reminder that the optimal rule votes are:
>Dead 25 years to participate
>64 bracket
>Qualifiers
This ensures as few shitters as possible make it in

>/tnt/ barges into a 4chan tournament uninvited
>tells everyone on the board how their tourney should be run

>>18063852
>Why are the people that are behind 4chan tournaments interested in a 4chan tournament

>>18063855
>interested
that's a funny way to put it

12 hours remain

8 hours remain...

voting for Blackbeard [spoiler]Zehahahahaha![/spoiler]

A bit over two hours

>>18063702 (OP)
In Blackbeard's final battle against Lieutenant Robert Maynard (who was deployed to capture him), he was actually winning and broke Maynard's sword, and was only killed because one of Maynard's men interferred to help. So basically they had to make it a 2v1 to stand a chance at subduing him.

>>18065244
Impressive, I just wish I could root for both of us

>>18065244
Don't forget he got shot point-blank by Maynard before engaging him in melee.

Four minutes remain.

All in on Pirate

And the tournament has concluded...

where results

And the winner is... Evel Knievel!

>>18065295
The winner no one wanted, but deserved.

/tnt/ colony btw

Joseph Stalin takes 3rd place

>>18065295
Oh Shucks, guess Piracy never pays off.

Welp, I guess /his/ couldn't keep having good winners forever.

>>18065295
>I must be the luckiest man alive.
Congrats to Knievel!

>>18065244
>personally finances Maynard and co. to search for Blackbeard, in part because he pissed that the proprietary government of N. Carolina wasn't doing enough
"Heh, nothing personnel, Teach"

Now for the tournament conduct questions
>How many contestants should there be in the future?
128
>When the number of contestants is reached
There will be a qualifier round if the number of nominees exceeds that of the contestant slots
>What figures should be allowed to participate?
Same as before, so figures best known for things before the last 25 years
>Should recent deaths be excluded?
Any death within the past year will be excluded however

Thank you all for participating in this years Emperor of /his/!

Same time same place next year.

Next Year, I think someone should make a pre-nominations thread probably a week before the actual tournament so anons get time to prepare,

>>18065309
Prepare for what? This is a slow board. You can't expect much activity.

>>18065295
The daredevil beat all odds and won is actually pretty kino.

>>18065308
>Same time same place next year.
This board is practically dead, I say we have it now. Another year and the results will be nothing but the most superficial meme candidates

>>18065309
The nominations threads should do, especially with the qualifier round as a possibility.

>>18065315
so true /tnt/bro

>>18065309
Yeah I keep forgetting to nominate the Count of St. Germain for this. Hopefully next year

A qualifier round will be made if the number of nominees exceeds that of the contestants within the first two days, beyond that and it's only the first 128.

Next year is his

I welcome /his/ as the newest /tnt/ourney.

/tnt/ lost btw

>>18065387
>14 mentions on /his/ before the tournament
sure, pal

>>18065308
Should be 64 unless we approach 128 in the first 24 hours, but I guess the people have already spoken.

>>18065395
If the pace of nominations is anything like this year then I suspect we will reach it.

>>18065393
14 more than there were on the entirety of plus4chan, I bet

>>18065295
>>18065308
Wow, you guys picked nearly all the shit choices

dogshit tourney

>>18065295
Huh?

That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
It has been a lively tournament at the very least, and I do thank you all for taking your time to participate.

>>18065598
Thanks, it was fun at least.

>>18065598
mmm giantess

Could I have nominated Judge Holden cuz he was a real guy?

>>18065295
