System-Coded Skirmish

(unsure why this is on your dash? if you followed lovecore-swag-showdown, freaky-fish-fshowdown, doomed-bythe-narrative, or just-some-guy-joust that’s us, we’ve just rebranded for the new tourney)

Does a writer's decisions ever make you tilt your head and go "did they know that that's really DID of them...?" or do you have system headcanons? Great news: we're going to make all those characters fight to the death. Submissions for system-coded characters are CURRENTLY OPEN and you can find the submission form at the bottom of this post!

Rules:

Characters that are CANONICALLY systems are NOT ALLOWED. This tournament is about characters that make you wonder if the writers did that on purpose, or for characters you headcanon as a system.

Mod is generally anti-endo (and anti-tulpa, anti-willo, etc), and submissions that focus on characters that INTENTIONALLY created alters, or who you claim to be a non DID/OSDD system, will be deleted. I don't care if you're endo and you participate, that's fine, just keep in mind this is aimed towards DID/OSDD systems and I intend to keep it that way. (For the sake of clarity, if the character you are submitting claims to have tulpas, as I know that's a fairly popular trope at present, they will not be automatically deleted. Research will be done to make a judgement call on if that will be allowed.)

Real people are not allowed. Fictional characters only. Characters that are based on real people are generally allowed but some may not be at mod discretion (e.g., the characters that Minecraft youtubers may play as would be allowed, or Leonardo DaVinci from Assassin's Creed)

You may make multiple submissions, but please do so in SEPARATE FORMS.

Do NOT submit "all characters from [x]". I need the names of the characters or your submission will be deleted. You can individually send in every single character, or mention them in your explanation for one, but I NEED their names.

The main submission should be the HOST of the system if possible, there is a seperate question for who you consider the alters to be.

While jokey responses are funny, do try to keep them at a minimum

Make your submissions here!!!!

I know you're still setting up so this isn't a submission but. For example with that chart, would the portal personality cores be mid right or pure middle?

i'd say pure middle since they have a pretty direct influence on personality, tho with the way its actually implemented in game i would also accept a mid right interpretation

#asks #system skirmish #*obviously breaking my own rules* you can submit the portal personality cores if you want to. smile #also if anybody wants to fill out the chart with their own interpretations be my guest i'd be thrilled

my system coding chart

#all of these are valid for the tournament. take my hand #system skirmish #im aware the boxes are uneven dont look at me

Consider: perhaps few people have ever seen your intended characters. so your post about why they are systems will be the first intro your audience has ever had to them. And theyll go “woah you’re so right those are the most system coded people we’ve ever seen” :D

YOU'VE GOT A GOOD POINT!!!!

#some of the submissions have already done that with me. hashtag beauty #asks #system skirmish

are there any characters you expected to get lots of submissions right away but haven't shown up yet? or are there characters you're really hoping get submitted?

*lets out a tiny pathetic whimper* yea

#ive been thoroughly surprised by most of the submissions so far. in a good way!!!#but characters that i had in my head as the peak of accidental system coding have only been submitted by me #*clearly shaking and near tears* and i'll be really normal about it if im the only one that submits them #asks #system skirmish

Once the bracket has been decided, could we possibly be able to see the other submissions? Just because hearing about plural coded characters is so much fun

hmmmm gooood question... i havent done that in previous tourneys, but that was primarily because i hadnt received explicit permission to post them... i suppose now that the form has a question about if they're ok with me sharing their submissions, thats less of a problem 🤔 i'll consider it, but chances are yeah probably

#one of my favorite parts about closing the submissions has always been people asking me who got submitted #and how many submissions they got. it'll be a lil extra fun this time if i include submission notes too 🤔#asks #system skirmish #i wont ever give just full access to the submissions list but yknow after submissions are over #if you ask to see the submissions for a character then perhaps i'll do that

this was all a ploy to get people to explain to me why characters i know and like could be considered systems while i lay on my stomach with my head in my hands kicking my legs in the air and giggling btw

#every single one of these tourneys have been a ploy to get people to explain tropes i like to me #me when i see a character i know: omgggg hiiiii. twirls my hair hehe hiiiii #system skirmish

Question! Do you have a preferred format for submitting a game character that is named by the player? The one I'm thinking of doesn't have a "canon" name, so should it just be "Protagonist"?

"protagonist" works just fine! or "mc" or "player character" or whatever else makes it clear its the person you play as/person you named!

the reason i require names is so its easier for me to look them up and also count how many times they've been submitted, and in this case knowing the character is the protagonist works well enough for me 👍

#asks #system skirmish

here's a handy dandy reference post for you if you're considering submitting but you're worried about something or other

"i shouldn't submit, this character probably already has a ton of submissions"

only 1 character has been submitted more than once. the more a character gets submitted the more likely i will put a character in the tournament. do it. you should submit your character

"i shouldn't submit, i don't have anything to say to prove my point"

you don't need to make a good point for your submission to count. you CAN put n/a in the question about why you submitted them, i only have that set as required to encourage explanations but if you don't want to you don't have to. you should submit your character

"i shouldn't submit, i have too much to say"

i have received and read submissions in previous tournaments that were over 2000 words long and i enjoyed every second of it. you should submit your character

"i shouldn't submit, i don't have time right now to get into it"

sign off your submission with an identifier (tumblr username, emoji, name, whatever), then come back in my asks and say "hey it's me [sign off] here to add more to my submission about [character]". i will put your added info into my spreadsheet. you should submit your character

"i shouldn't submit, i'm a singlet"

you should submit your character anyways

"i'm worried i'll accidentally be offensive"

submissions are anonymous and i'll never know it was you, and also as long as you're genuinely trying to bring something to the conversation i will be happy. i'm personally kind of hard to offend when it comes to system shit. you should submit your character

"i already submitted and i really hope more people submit my character"

reblog the submissions post and mention you submitted your character i don't give a shit

#system skirmish

can we ask which characters have already been submitted or would you prefer to keep that info secret?

i prefer to keep it a secret. this is because the way i sort the brackets depends on how popular i perceive the characters to be, and how many submissions they get plays into that. when i post about what characters have already been submitted, people tend to go "oh they've already been submitted, so i don't need to" which is not how it works. but reaffirming that people need to submit the characters they want to see even if they think they're already submitted doesn't ever actually help the problem lol.

i'm fine with people discussing who they submitted in reblogs or replies, but i will not post about it directly on this blog

#asks #system skirmish #that being said i wouldn't entirely mind posting about what pieces of media have been submitted. possibly #but you'd have to ask me “has [series] gotten any submissions?” before i'll post it

#i can't remember what my tag for reblogs was so i'm just gonna use #self reblog #<- if you don't want to see me repeatedly reblog this post feel free to mute that tag #system skirmish

I have nothing to submit but I know of at least one character that fits that I don't know well but my gf knows pretty well but she doesn't have time to submit things rn so wanted me to ask how long you plan on submissions being open for?

no clue, for as long as i feel like its appropriate for them to be open. with how slow submissions are coming in rn, probably a week if that pace keeps up

#asks #system skirmish #we are currently at 22 submissions. if we get 22 a day then a week is probably enough to make some decisions #but maybe it'll be open longer maybe i'll close it early. shrugs

i know my submission is probably not the one that prompted the post bc idk how many other submissions there are, but just in case (as im realizing only now that the way i described my submission was poorly worded lol), am i allowed to privately message/send another ask to clarify my explanation and reasonings just in case? id edit my submission with better wording but i already closed the tab whoops </3

it's probably yours since only one has mentioned intentionality and the possibility of that being seen as an endo thing in their submission HAHA yeah go for it! i personally think your submission was super interesting and i think it could be a really fun discussion on whether or not that character actually is a DID system or not. i don't know if that means i'll allow it yet, but i didn't mind your submission at all and thought it was very thought provoking!

my messages aren't open, but you can send another ask! i won't reply publicly (in order to not sway submissions i avoid posting character names), but if you want a reply, send it off anon and i'll reply privately! if you don't want a reply you can stay on anon :]

#asks #system skirmish #as of right now we have 13 submissions! and 6 of them are mine. smiles

a submission brings up a good point, so to try to clarify a little further. characters that did intentionally create their alters MIGHT be allowed under the assumption the submitter sees this under the light of DID/OSDD/other CDDs. it's REALLY difficult to explain where my lines are on what makes a submission frame them as endo, and intentionality can be a point that makes it really obvious if you're doing this in an endo way or a DID way. but sometimes a character intentionally creating an alter CAN be interesting from a CDD point of view! if YOU see someone's intentional choice to create an alter as an extension of their DISORDER, or if their intentionality is even unrelated to the fact that they are otherwise a system, your submission won't be deleted and will be considered carefully on whether or not i want to include it.

i'll probably try to find a way to reword that rule, but it's a difficult thing haha. my rule is basically just mean to be "don't submit an endo system headcanon on purpose. if you don't think of it as an endo system thing, then you're chill and i'll make my own choice on whether or not i want to allow it"

#personally i've got a few headcanons where a character THINKS they did it on purpose. but just didn't understand how their systemhood worked #so it's a blurry line not a hard line!!!!#overall as long as you're respectful to the fact that i am a DID system and i want to approach all submissions from that lens #then you're chill and can do what you want #system skirmish

these are my own submissions but seeing them in my spreadsheet made me start cackling

#system skirmish

hey

#working on something #(no its not the last polls of the some guy joust sorry)
