Lord of the Board 4 - Apocalypse Automata
Sign-ups for the fourth Lord of the Board tournament are now OPEN.
Additionally, we are accepting sign-ups for Lord of the Board Tag Force, a Tag event that will be held in July.
You can find the form to sign up HERE: https://forms.gle/2DwRX13acTLg2m4r6
This thread will only be made once, to announce the opening of entries. After this thread closes, future questions and the sign-up form can be found in /hfz/.
>What is this?
A board-wide wrestling tournament, hosted by /hfz/ in WWE 2k24.
>Who can enter?
Any thread can sign up.
>What is required to sign up?
Your thread must be active on /vt/ in the 3 months preceeding signups opening, and must have at least 10 threads and 1550 archived posts total, before this post. This does NOT require those threads to have reached bump limit, but this is the equivalent of 5 threads at bump limit.
Additionally, your thread's manager is REQUIRED to provide VALID contact info of some kind on the form. We will not verify your entry until we confirm the contact info is valid and has an actual person on the other end. You may use a burner account, so long as you can respond to messages we need to send you within 24~48 hours. Any information the manager provides will be kept completely private.
>Will previous LotB entrants be given priority?
No entrants will be given priority for entry slots. They are first-come-first-served.
>We entered a previous Lord of the Board event, and we want to re-use the same rep.
If you entered Lord of the Board 3, you can re-use that rep. If you entered Lord of the Board 1 or 2, you cannot re-use your rep, and will need to fill out the form in full.
>If I manage the entrant for /mythread/, what will I be expected to do?
You will need to fill out a form detailing your thread's representative wrestler, including appearance, general fighting style, entrance music, and graphic sources. You do not need to convert any of these things yourself, just provide assets. If something you give us doesn't work, we'll contact you. If you ghost us for 72 hours, we'll notify your thread and give the chance for somebody else to step up. If nobody does, /yourthread/ is out and somebody else will get the slot (if appliciable). However, most of the time it's not a big deal and you're mostly hands-off once the form's in, other than confirming details here and there.
>What is the format for the tournament?
To be announced, based on how many entries we get.
>Will there be exhibitions?
Yes. We'll have inter-thread grudge matches, theme matches, and whatever lore shit gets cooked up. Threads that do not qualify for the main tournament will also be permitted to participate in exhibition matches as well.
>Can I bring /mythread/'s beef (in kayfabe) to Lord of the Board?
We expect you to.
>Do I need to own WWE 2k24 to participate?
No. If you do not wish to create your thread's rep yourself, you can request that it be made for you.
>When will entries close?
The form will close in a little under 3 weeks, on July 6th @ Midnight ET.
>When will the event take place?
The Tag Force Event is currently expected to take place in mid/late July, as a separate event using the same sign-up sheet.
We currently expect to host the Lord of the Board main event in early/mid August.
>Will there be commentary?
There is a signup form for those interested in commentary HERE: https://forms.gle/iPUYVSybwV3td5Bm7

>>101283023are you sending in santa
>>101283515No because I wasn't given an invite and santa isn't real
>posting signups in the middle of the night on a work day
what did Mr. McMahon mean by this
>>101285886Eh, you get 3 weeks.
>>1012860183 days? How can we get entries in 3 hours?
>>101286456too late, it's already been 3 minutes.
So if I wanna make a high flyer is it better for the wrestler to be a manlet or a lanklet?
>>101286877from watching enough of these it really doesn't matter that much. It may come down to their stats instead
the champ and 3rd placer were both high flyers of different body types
>>101287076Kk
Also if you use a high flier archetype, is there a way to control whether the wrestler is gonna use technical vs power submissions?
>>101287398Yes. You can request one over the other in your moveset requests. There's plenty of both, so it generally isn't a problem.

Let's say I want to enter two threads, but one thread is a previous LOTB participant I want to have come back and thread #2 is a new thread I'd like to make in WWE myself, would that be allowed? or nah I really would have to remake thread #1 myself.

>>101427690>>101281892 (OP)So are combined entries allowed?
>>101455756As in, combining /NePoLaBo/ and /become/? No, you'd need to pick one unless you're making your own rep.
>>101455930I was planning on mostly reusing the assets from last time for both threads if that's what you mean, since they were both in last time.
With a single rep to represent both threads.
>>101456036That's effectively entering two threads, which is not permitted. You'd need to pick just one.
That said, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just enter /nepolabo/. /become/ was originally an offshoot of them in the first place.
>>101456122NePoLaBo doesn't want to enter solo, and wanted to share (effectively give) the slot with Become so it's not just stuck in exhibitions if it does enter.
>>101456301That's just hijacking another thread to push your own thread, which is one of the reasons we have the qualification rule in the first place.
I get that you got permission, but that's not the point. If /become/ can't qualify on its own merits, then it's not able to qualify, and you can't busk for qualification any more than you can bot a thread to get in.
>>101456301You could sign up nepolabo and send in Lamy as your wrestler.
>>101457417I don't have the files myself so I'm not sure if that'd be allowed to get the files for Become as a rep for just NePoLaBo.
Regardless NePoLaBo doesn't want to enter solo as just NePoLaBo anyway, the thread wanted either the double representation or none.
>>101458958just throw /become/'s logo on the lamy caw if you want to rep both with out right saying it
OH NONONONONO.... LOTB4 GONNA GET BIGLEAGUED SOON
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nT1uh2UCPg
>>101456973>That's just hijacking another thread to push your own threadYeah I'm sure this has never ever happened before and wasn't encouraged in the past
>>101464768It was not encouraged, and it happening in LotB2 is why the qualification rules changed starting in LotB3.
>>101464768nah, Ci always belongs wherever she is.
>>101464877>accepts the sign-up>it wasn't encouraged though
>>101394020The only thing he does is shit up the thread and ban evade
>>101456973You are a faggot.
The thread wants it. You obviously don't care about /vt/ or any of the threads if you are going to just prevent threads from doing their own thing ESPECIALLY when this isn't even like the Ci situation and there is actual approval from the thread for this submission.
Lord of the Board? More like Lord of the Circlejerk.
>>101469471or maybe the event has clearly laid out rules over what can and cannot qualify so people don't just like sign up their 1view and everyone is playing by the same rules and it'd be unfair to make random exceptions because one anon complains about it more.
>>101460975I don't think that'd be allowed. At best it'd just have to be a Lamy wrestler representing them completely as NePoLaBo.
>>101456973I don't think the thread would want it, but just out of curiosity, would it be allowed enter the threads separately both reusing the same Lamy from become last time? At least as base if there needs to be minor changes, or is cross thread asset reuse not allowed?
>>101469580There is no rule that stops listing a joint submission for two threads.
>>101469815Idk it's pretty clear cut.
I don't think there'd be much wrong with giving /become/ an exhib match, those are fun too.
>>101469868Don't bother. He's arguing in bad faith.
>Get an answer>Ignore the answer and play whataboutism even though the example given is explicitly cited as the reason the rule he claims to hate exists in the first place.Anon is trying to start shit and get the thread pushed to bump limit, and reasonable arguments will be ignored as they don't support his narrative.
For his next trick, he'll engage in samefaggotry until 310, pretending to be multiple people that hate this rule, or claiming that he's from another thread that won't enter. For bonus points he'll bring up muh non-/vt/ "traitor" entries.
>>101464768that's a vsinger
Confirming /mayo/ as Entrant #29!
Ci is rightful /hfz/ clay.
So offsite faggotry which is arguably a more egregious form of hijacking is okay but for loyal threads here we arbitrarily move goalposts to prevent them from joining?
>So offsite faggotry which is arguably a more egregious form of hijacking is okay but for loyal threads here we arbitrarily move goalposts to prevent them from joining?
Nigga just fill the form for /become/ and get someone else to fill it for /nepolabo/
>>101470275Or you can stop being circlejerking faggots
>>101469868Nothing there explicitly bars joint submissions
>>101470316Huh how do you know?
>>101470275If it wasn't apparent, it's not me that initially asked baiting the thread. This is me
>>101469586 It's probably somebody from hfz drumming up biz which was a thing in the LotB3 threads, or actually just bait.
Already mentioned, but NePoLaBo doesn't want to enter solo, so that's not the point. If anything that specifically would be going against what the thread wants.
It was about if Become could combine with them for post count to be allowed in the main tournament.
>>101470835Sign up /NePoLaBo/ for the tag team tourney and get /become/ Lamy prime to submit /become/ for the tag team tourney. The thread rules only apply for the main tourney.
>>101471390By solo I mean representing only themselves, especially using their rep from last time.
They wanted something like NePoLaBo + Become with one rep.
If the thread could be convinced entering together in tag only is ok then I would want to know if it's ok to copy paste the same wrestler to have Lamy for both or get a new one made just for NePoLaBo.
Though I'm not sure how that would work with the rules.
I would also probably need to sign up both threads myself, since everyone else is pretty actively disinterested in LotB this time which is why it was trying to pawn off the main tournament slot to Become in the first place.
>>101471627/nepolabo/ had a rep back in LotB3 (Yamena, iirc) that can be plausibly reused
>>101471758Yes, they explicitly don't want to do that.
It's why I was asking how reusing Lamy for both would work, if they had to enter as their own entry.
>>101471758>/nepolabo/ had a rep back in LotB3 (Yamena, iirc) that can be plausibly reusedI'm /nepolabo/ and I'd rather do this.
Can you retards have one event where everyone's not trying to just work each other to oblivion
>>101471962Okay how you know
>>101471962I guess we can ask the thread again now that divegrass is over.
>>101472136If you ask now the /become/ fag will just samefag until he forces his fetish shit in as the rep. Wait for him to go to sleep.
>>101472261It's so cool that we don't have post IDs here, because I genuinely can't tell if you're the baiter samefagging or if you've fallen for the bait that the person who's asked about become is the same guy posting the bait.
I've got one question, and one question only.
Tables?
>>101472261Before the thread dies, was this all just you working the thread?
>>101469471 >>101469815 >>101469975 >>101470199 >>101470212 >>101471962Because fuck you regardless.
