Hey! Sorry about disappearing! Life got in the way, and it probably will still be holding me up for a couple days.

But I promise I haven’t abandoned all this!

[goldenapplebracket]

Just an update;

Now that tiebreakers have resolved, I’m hoping to get the actual tournament underway since standings are officially decided.

However, my original schedule was thrown into a bit of a loop. My anxiety has been gripped from seeing a few posts discussing that some tournament blogs are getting shadowbanned, likely for posting a bunch of polls at once.

So, I’m currently working on plotting out how I wanna go about things to prevent me from passing whatever the limit is on polls. I’d hate to do all the buildup to have the actual tournament end up not reaching most of y’all.

Current idea is to divide into four sections and do each one separately, then have the semis and final at the end. This prevents me from posting more than 4 polls at a time at any point, which (as far as I know) has been a safe number of polls to post simultaneously.

So, we’ll see how that goes.

Meanwhile; Have a fun Bonus Poll!

Maybe Apollo and Artemis aren’t the sun and moon. Maybe Helios and Selene let them hang around on their chariots so they can shoot people from up there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Artemis: Can I shoot stuff from your chariot I wanna go hunting elephants and maybe some mortals idk

Selene who has done nothing but go in circles in the dark and fall in love with sleeping men in fields for the past several thousand years: Please do.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Apollo: I wanna inflict a plague on-

Helios: Yes.

Apollo: I didn’t finish m-

Helios: *throws him in the back* Yes.

As for the bracket arrangement;

(gotta love tumblr image compression smh)

Here it is! Once the ties are resolved and everyone is in place on the bracket, I'll explain how I intend on dividing up the bracket into rounds.

CHAOS IS NO LONGER PART OF THIS TIE.

For some reason, in the Third Lot poll, Chaos shows up as 10% (like Eris and Pan) on my phone, but 11% on desktop. I'm more inclined to believe my desktop (+ Chaos is winning as is), so I'm removing him from this tie and putting him on the current standings in the place he'd have with his 11%

The only competition is now between Eris and Pan.

Amazingly, the only ties were in the Third Lot! Though, 7 out if the 8 participants in said lot are now involved in a tie. Those tiebreakers will start in just a bit.

I’m not counting Hades and Dionysus as a tie since I can visibly see who’s ahead, despite the fact that they’re listed as the same percentage.

It’s close, but Dionysus definitely is ahead, so he’s gonna be top of the second lot, with Hades in the spot just below him.
