MSPA Madness 2016

So the MSPA Forums are down. whee I think it's the man, trying to stop me from starting MSPA Madness on time. WELL GUESS WHAT. There is more than one forum, so until they get back up, guess this is the temporary main-base of it, because a forum is so much nicer than the other options.



For the past three years, I've held a tournament to determine the best^{*†‡§‖¶} character in all of MS Paint Adventures. Well, it's time again for this contest!

At this link, you will find the form to fill out your top sixty-four characters from any MS Paint Adventures thing. Fill out as many or as few as you want, and hopefully, on Saturday the 19^th, the voting will end. However, if the MSPA Forums aren't back up soon, this will probably be delayed to give them a fair chance to vote in this round as well.

So what are you waiting for? Go on and vote in the qualifying round of MSPA Madness 2016!

Submitted - afraid I could only think of 16 characters, however. Good luck on your project!

mspa is down?

*checks mspa*

oh. so it is.

So, while the MSPA Forums continue to do who knows what (real sign of confidence there, me), let's get this back up to speed on what has happened.

First, after over 30 attempts, I recorded a video of the bracket, and then a lot more quickly created an actual bracket.

Then the preliminary voting finished, putting a pumpkin, Diamonds Droog, Snowman, and Definitely Sane Man into the field over Skipper Plumbthroat, Bro, fedoraFreak, and Mobius Trip, respectively.

And now, everyone character is actively in the voting, so go out there and vote by clicking this SUBTLE LINK to the current round of voting.

I call shenanigans on the pumpkin winning.

the page that the subtle link leads to says "first round." how do I get to later rounds?

You'll get to them from probably equally subtle links when they exist. Of which the second round will likely exist on the 29th. Maybe on the 28th, but don't be too certain of that.

e: I don't know who half of these people are. what's a nektan whaleman
these are names out of a doctor seuss book I swear

Seems we're too old and out of touch with the youth of today.

You forgot to put any of my characters in the bracket. Just letting, you know. Cheers -g0m

Not every character you vote for gets in. Unless if you are the writer of mysterious VOTE7, in which case wait and see...

Although if you were VOTE7, you did get a 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 seed in so you can't complain. And in fact, only 3 people didn't get their number 1 choice in, and of them, two got their number 2 choice and the third got their number 4 choice in.

So everyone had at least someone make it and you're just exaggerating because you put one character on there four times, another on there twice, and missed "MSPA" for five of them.

Folks, I didn't want to have to do this, but it looks like I'm going to have to take steps to make sure my voice is heard. That's right - I'm going to be making my own competing MSPA March Madness 2016 Tournament.

and i will suggest nonexistent characters in it. Like kermit the frog with two samurai swords smoking a blunt

For what I assume are obvious reasons, there will be no voter participation in my Tournament.

Can a small dog be one of the contestants at least?

I took it all off my itunes months or years ago but it's time.

time to listen to homestuck music nonstop and get pumped!!

Glad to know that there's gonna be the NIT (Not In-MSPA Tournament). Winning that is going to be no slouch (she says with her college still in).

ANYWAY guess like I should post the end results of the first round and provide another SUBTLE LINK to the next round. And unfortunately there's no tables so it's going to look great (That's my secret to everything, tables).

Round 2 Voting!

i chose the objectively correct answers and most of them lost this is rigged

What sort of world do we live in that lord English loses to Clubs Deuce?

You say that as though that's not exactly the kind of thing that'd happen

What sort of world do we live in that lord English loses to Clubs Deuce?

The correct one obviously.

Also Keiros why did you put all the best characters in the LOHAC branch, this contest is clearly rigged.

What the hell, Clubs Deuce IS better than Lord English. I didn't even VOTE in the first round and that's obvious.

I feel bad for possibly being biased since I voted every single Problem Sleuth character, but okay, they're just really good. I love Nepeta but she has nothing on PI.

EDIT: Wait, how did Doctor Brinner not get in the first 64???!?!? It's DOCTOR BRINNER! He's one of the most important MSPA characters of all time! He was the MAIN FRICKIN' PROTAGONIST of what is arguably Hussie's true magnum opus and no one cared about him!? AT ALL!?

The vote is a cruel, harsh mistress.

Even better: Since no other characters from Doctor Brinner (not even General Negakipper, for some reason) received votes, he would have been in had anyone put him down. Like I said, cruel, harsh mistress.

Calliope is doing a lot better than I'd expected.

Also you got a little missing word between john and davesprite there.
