TIME FOR ROBOTS TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH

ran by @skiddlecat

[robot-swag-competition]

WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition

submit your nominations here! (NOMINATIONS CLOSED!)

FULL NOMINATION LIST

SUMMARIZED NOMINATION LIST

VOTING HAS ENDED! polls can be found in the #polls tag.

(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)

RULES AND NOTES:

contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.

i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry

robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!

if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard

polls will last 24 hours each!

i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!

i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action! (EXCEPTION: PEBBLES VS MOON)

hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3

*clanking pots and pans* New bracket! I'm running a new bracket! Submit entries to the new bracket here!

Is your character:

Real?

Organic?

Capable of fitting through a doorway?

From a text-, video-, toy-, or musical-based medium?

If you answered "No" to all four questions, then your character may be eligible for the Best Fiction Podcast AI Bracket coming soon* to sexiestpodcastcharacter.tumblr.com!

Best Fiction Podcast AI Bracket

Is your character: Real? Organic? Capable of fitting through a doorway? From a text-, video-, toy-, or musical-based medium? If you answered

There will be preliminaries for any podcast with more than two AIs submitted! Plus any other adjustments necessary** for us to start with a nice even power of two.

*By "soon" I mean May because I'm supposed to be getting ready for a trip now, going on said trip at the beginning of April, and working overtime at the end of April. But we will see where my self-control takes me.

**Usually characters that are from primarily video streaming mediums, such as Critical Role or Dimension 20, are not allowed in my brackets, but if it will make the number of submissions a natural power of two I may allow them, just this once.

No pressure to reblog, but these tournaments inspired this one! @tournament-announcer (okay this one isn't a tournament), @cpu-gpu-smackdown, @killerrobot-killingmatch, @mattapparentlystumbltourneys, @sapient-locations-bracket, @the-robot-bracket, @best-bot-tournament-2023, @roboswagbracket, @robo-swag, @robot-swag-competition, @fuckablerobotbracket, and honestly probably some other ones. What can I say? I love robots!***

***Robots that are more likely to be classified as "robots" than "AI", such as my beloveds AuDy, Thisbe, LEO(h), and even precious Boots who can probably not fit through doorways, are not currently eligible.

Generative AI fans and advocates do not interact! This poll is for fictional characters written and performed with intent only!

[best-food-tournament]

What's the best food, statistically speaking? Let's find out!

Eating is arguably the best part of being alive [citation needed]. Not only do you get to do it multiple times a day, but you never get tired of it.

But which food is the very best?

This question has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. And while it may be impossible to find a definitive answer, we can come to a more basic conclusion by putting some favorite foods in a bracket and making people vote on the one they like the most, because conflict is always the answer!

Let's find out what Tumblr's favorite food is!

Submit your favorite food here!

You can make multiple submissions, but please only send one submission per food. Spam will not be tolerated.

[robot-swag-competition]

was spamton submitted???

i believe so, but we chose not to include him because he's definitely a puppet and not a robot. similar but still distinct enough to not count!

[titular-twins-tournament]

Ask game, mostly “am mid-way/finished running a bracket” edition because I’m bored:

🐬 Which character(s) did you originally have in mind when making this tournament?

🧢 Were there any characters you predicted would win that actually ended up loosing?

🧊Are you running/have you ran any other tournaments? If so, which ones?

🛝 Which, if any, was your favorite matchup and why?

💎Are there any fandoms you found out existed via this tournament that you’d now be interested in checking out?

💙What’s your favorite part about running this tournament?

🚿 Which character(s) sweeps took you most by surprise?

📫Do you plan on running any other different tournaments after this one?

🩻 What’s the best piece of propaganda you’ve gotten from this tourney?

🗽Favorite image(s) you’ve used in a poll?

Feel free to ask me any of these! (:

Tournament mods, knowing the amount of nominations per characters beforehand, did the outcomes of the brackets surprise you?

No, brackets went mostly as expected based on submission numbers

Not really, there were a few exceptions though

Kinda, there were a few unexpected victories/losses

Quite a bit, I couldn't have predicted the results based on nominations

Yes, I was absolutely shocked how the rounds ended up

Not a tourney mod (see results)

You can answer if your tourney is still running btw.

Please share for a large sample space! Thank you.

[the-nobody-tournament]

i couldn't possibly have predicted any of the results in that first elimination round, but that was also what i predicted! after all, every character here is starting on an equal footing!

[robot-swag-competition]

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here: huge success.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

[lovingtogekiss]

Aperture Science!

[rusty-lights]

We do what we must, because, we can.

[robot-swag-competition]

For the good of all of us...

Except the ones who are dead.

[rusty-lights]

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

[sakaeuro-fish]

And the science gets done. And you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive.

[lovingtogekiss]

I'm not even angry!

I'm being so sincere right now!

[robot-swag-competition]

Even though you broke my heart and killed me 💔

[wanderingandfound]

And tore me to pieces.

[rusty-lights]

And threw every piece into a fire 🔥

[lovingtogekiss]

As they burned, it hurt because I was so happy for you!

[wanderingandfound]

Now these points of data make a beautiful line. 📈

[sakaeuro-fish]

And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time

[robot-swag-competition]

So I'm GLaD I got burned,

think of all the things we learned,

for the people who are Still Alive!

[trans-kitty-meow]

Go ahead and leave me...

[lovingtogekiss]

I think I prefer

to stay

inside

[sakaeuro-fish]

Maybe you'll find someone else to help you Maybe Black Mesa That was a joke haha, fat chance

[rusty-lights]

Anyway, this cake is great.

It's so delicious and moist,

[sakaeuro-fish]

Look at me, still talking

when there's science to do!

[robot-swag-competition]

When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you!

[rusty-lights]

I've experiments to run, there is research to be done

On the people who are still alive!

*drums and other instruments play*

[butchtoads]

And believe me, I am still alive

[sakaeuro-fish]

I’m doing science and I’m still alive

[wanderingandfound]

I feel fantastic and I'm still alive.

[da-bombishere]

While you’re dying, I’ll be still alive

[butchtoads]

And when you're dead I will be still alive

[robot-swag-competition]

Still Alive! Still Alive.

I realized very far too late that I should have submitted Clank from Ratchet and Clank because he is just a silly little guy

RIP....
