>>7568185 (OP)

Welcome to /CRAB/ (Comics & Random Art Battle) for the forthcoming fourth tournament. β€œCR4B”, if you will.

>WHAT IS CRAB?
An annual art tournament where (you) enter your Original Character, join a team of other characters, and strive to win it all at #1. The grand prize for your team: One collective wish from the Gamemaster.

>HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are three rounds, the first two of which are unique setting. Traditionally, the third round is a duel between you and another contestant in the bucket. Each round, you will be matched up with another artist of comparable skill level. A prompt will be give to you and your opponent in that setting. Draw a comic, make an animation, do game dev, create something visual with a narrative and hope it beats your opponent through the votes before the round’s deadline. Whoever gets the highest votes, wins the round!

>CAN I JOIN?
I don’t know? Can you?

You will need permission to enter once you defeat our guardian cryptid: Florida Man. FM keeps the riffraff out of The Bucket, our tournament’s location. Draw something narrative with your OC beating FM to enter(a comic works best).

4chan users enter through here: https://discorHuh, I put that link somewhere. Hm, you’re smart enough figure it out. d(dot)gg/PYpYBkRFWB

However, you can be a β€œthread only” anon if you find that d*scord is too disgusting for you, at the small cost of maybe not being up to speed with some internal developments. Just deliver your pit entry here itt, a character sheet template will be provided.

>WHO ARE YOU?
I’m M4tron, your commentator on the 4chan side of the game. To keep my own backstory short, I used to be a super-assassin back when I was younger, but, this is my job now. My Newgrounds counterpart, Debbie, is here: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1544315

We commentators make sure the spectators and other casual observers get a proper idea of whats going in the threads so that they don’t get lost.

The Gamemaster (GM) oversees the entire game. From his space-station lair, the Crab Star, his word is law.

>WHY A BUCKET?
Surely you have heard of the term: β€œCrabs in a bucket?” How people who try to get better but get pulled down by their peers? It’s kind of like that in the spheres of the art realm, just as it is here on /ic/. CRAB continues that same spirit.

With the Headliner vote only a month away on the 20th, now is a good time to sign up for get interviewed! First three to respond to this post with original art and a crab contestant and you will be contacted with questions. An interview comic will follow before the vote. Only three spots, so draw quickly.

If you are a not an official contestant and just a spectator but want to be interviewed anyway, post your OC and I’ll ask a question by post.

Her mother was born as a project to boost birth rates in a certain first world country though. She was supposed to give birth to hyper fertile Aryan children but she escaped because she didn't want to fuck ugly bastards. Instead she went to fuck Gods and important or strong people-creatures. She's based on the witch from the Beowulf's story but she looks like anime Marilyn Monroe mixed with Eve from the Genesis.

You misread that. That post os saying that there were some thread-only participants. Even this round we have one.
I'll agree that there is circlejerk problems, but the whole "voting on each other," verses a community poll of the general board, is something that needs to be done. If it were completely anonymous, there would be nothing stopping one guy from just samefagging the results he/she would want for the tournament.

If you really want to join but don't to register or tie your name to it, there's always the option to tie your alias to some thread-only moniker.

>>7598321
the strange voting thing seems tacked on, just keep the votes internal if it's a community only thing that no one else can interact with, it just makes it look like more of a circlejerk to show that part to the outside.

skimming the old threads there is nothing but non-sequitur spamming an one or two little comics sprinkled about. even with the rules it's still unclear why /ic/ of all places is chosen?

not against the little comics OCT thing but it seems unfitted for /ic/?
why not /co/?

Thread onlys should know too. The votes have critiques with them.
And no one is stopping any random anon to critique all the entries If thats what they want.

/co/ is too fast or something along those lines
I would have preferred /i/ (and the off-season threads are hosted there) but I guess there's "too little" traffic there.
/i/ also has oekaki functions and is more generally freeform
I guess another reason for /ic/ specifically is the feedback/criticism but IDK about that, I think /i/ would have had more 3rd party participation than this place. There wasn't much engagement from outsiders on the /ic/ thread last year.

/crab/ has been on /co/ for its first year, but after that it was very evident the place was not a home for actual creators. So we moved to /ic/ because of its more artist-focused aspect.
I'd have preferred /i/ more myself, but I guess the GM thinks /i/ is slower than /ic/.

The reason oldcrabs are grandfathered in is the fact they have already proven themselves that they can complete a tournament and be a decent competitor. Oldcrabs who have flaked for example are obligated to make new Pit entries to prove that they want to dedicate themselves to the tournament.

Besides, the amount of oldcrabs combined with the amount of dropouts is pretty healthy. Ever since CRAB 3, less than 50% of the contestants of a CRAB are oldcrabs. CRAB 2 had the lowest amount of 16.67% of the contestants at the start being oldcrabs, CRAB 3 had 38.3% of the contestants at the start be oldcrabs. CRAB 4 right now has a 46% oldcrab percentage, accounting due to the tournament being smaller to give the new Gamemaster some ease to get used to it.

Plus then you take in account the dropouts:
>CRAB 1: 30.0% (6 of 20)
>CRAB 2: 25.0% (12 of 48)
>CRAB 3: 21.7% (13 of 60)
And you have that roughly 1/4th or 1/5th of the contestants drop out of CRAB. If the trend is the same this tournament, roughly 10-12 benchies would have a good chance to compete in the tournament as well. It's for example quite common that 2-4 contestants decide to drop out before Round 1 starts!

So yeah, we're still learning and improving along the way to ensure everyone has a good chance to join in and bring their fun to the tournament.

I suppose I should probably get this in before headliner voting.

I very recently was given information that a crab was going around bragging that they helped rig the GM election. In that same span of time I have had 7 crabs claim to have voted for me in said election.

I did go to the one person with access to the votes for help in clarification on what was going on and was told to pound sand so im officially calling for an audit.

Im calling for G to be given access to the temporary secretary account and the GM votes to be double checked before crab officially begins in July.

Preempting questions as I do not plan on being in the threads.

It's time for the CRAB 4 opening season, and everyone's looking for a headliner to support! Have you considered the Lionheart Kid, Leo Buckingham, as a candidate to be YOUR headliner?

At least Ignatius still hasn't reached his limits on the bench press yet.

A headliner is a figurehead for a team. To avoid OP teams we separate them by popular vote.
We need 10, one for each team of 5.

I vote for:
Ignatius
Head Inspector
Ivy
Leo

Fuck it, I will motivate it.
Ignatius-anon should be a headliner, against his will
Head Investigator because he puts out good pieces, despite his current fundie level.
Ivy because it would be funny
Leo so anon can proof himself
