Starch Radness 9 Prediction Bracket Contest

Here’s the bracket for Starch Radness 9! This year’s theme is “Favorite Group”

We’re continuing our prediction bracket contest where you can win a gifted subscription to Zack Morrison’s Patreon, or items from their itch.io. Additionally…

ONE EIGHTFOLD PLUSHIE, ONE FORGE PLUSHIE, AND ONE ACTIVITY CLUB PIN SET

are up for grabs as prizes this year!

Due to the number of prizes available, third place now gets a prize. In the event of ties, the entrant who submitted their bracket first will be given the first choice of the Makeship items.

Because we are continuing to use Tumblr polls this year and you can see the live results after voting, entrants may NOT post screenshots or percentages of the results before the poll’s voting has ended. Encouraging people to vote one way or another or saying that X choice is winning or losing is permitted, but we feel giving exact numbers may sway the voting too much. If there is an issue, we will talk to you about it first to attempt to resolve it, but we retain the right to disqualify you if a resolution cannot be reached.

Here’s how it works:

If you want to participate, you may either:

fill out a template bracket, as shown above and submit the photos to this blog

ask us for a link to a Google Sheet version of the bracket, fill that out, and submit screenshots of that bracket to this blog

THIS YEAR YOU **MUST** SUBMIT YOUR BRACKET THROUGH OUR ASKS/SUBMISSIONS. In previous years, you could tell us your personal Google Sheet bracket was filled out and we’d take screenshots, but this year, everyone needs to submit their filled bracket via ask or submission because this is the clearest way for us to determine order of entry.

If you would like to request a Google Sheet bracket to fill out, send an ask to this blog, and I will reach out to you via my main @blairdiggory with a link to your personal bracket.

*Additionally, please be aware that I am unable to be on Tumblr most of the work day, but I will do my best to provide links every couple of hours. If you choose to fill out a Google Sheets bracket instead of editing the above photos, you may get your bracket sent to you later than you would like, which could delay your entry into the contest. Requests for Google Sheets brackets will be answered in the order they were received.*

These brackets must be turned submitted to Incorrect Pnat Quotes before 9 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 26th. You will receive a message or ask from @blairdiggory​ to confirm that we received your bracket.

Prizes

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 9 wins either one Makeship item, 6 months of the $10 tier to Zack’s Patreon, or the entire library from Zack’s itch.io!

Second place gets one Makeship item (from the remaining items after first place chooses) or one item from Zack’s itch.io.

Third place gets one Makeship item (the remaining item after first and second place choose) or one item from Zack’s itch.io.

If any Makeship items are not selected as prizes, they will be rolled over as prize options to future years.

Again, in the event of ties, the entrant who submitted their bracket first will be given the first chance to choose their prize.

How to fill out a template bracket and how scoring works are explained under the cut. Have fun playing! :D

First, I’m going to fill out the bracket with which group I think will win each round (which is NOT necessarily who *MY* favorite group is). For example, I think the Burnhounds are going to beat out the Shockodiles. So, on the line stemming from their bracket, I write “Burnhounds” like this:

I do this for all pairs in the first round. Then, we get to the pairs in the second round. For my prediction bracket, I believe the first two groups facing off will be the Burnhounds and The Activity Club. Of those two, I believe the Burnhounds will win, so I write that name on the line stemming from that pair’s bracket.

Continue until all lines are filled out!

Points and Scoring:

After every round, you will tally how many characters that you correctly guessed would win the bracket. Round 1 is 1 point per character guessed correctly, round 2 is 2 points per character guessed correctly, etc. As an example, say Burnhounds wins their bracket, but The Activity Club loses their bracket. I win 1 point for that section because Burnhounds won but The Activity Club lost (and The Angel’s Cult won). If the Burnhounds win against The Angel’s Cult, I get 2 points for that section. Then, I add the points up at the end of the game, so for this section, so far I have 3 points.

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 9 wins a Makeship item, 6 months of the $10 of Zack’s Patreon, or the entire library from Zack’s itch.io. Second place gets one Makeship item from the remaining choices or one item from Zack’s itchi.io, and third place gets the remaining Makeship item or one item from Zack’s itch.io.

Still have questions? Feel free to send us an ask, and we can clarify. :)

Again, in the event of ties, the entrant who submitted their bracket first will be given the first chance to choose the Eightfold plushie!

How to fill out a template bracket and how scoring works are explained under the cut. Have fun playing! :D

First, I’m going to fill out the bracket with who I think will win each round (which is NOT necessarily who *I* think most deserves to say f*ck*). For example, I think Max is going to beat out Ms. Baxter. So on the line stemming from their bracket, I write "Max" like this:

I do this for all pairs in the first round. Then, we get to the pairs in the second round. For my prediction bracket, I believe the first two characters facing off will be Max and Jean Garcia. Of those two, I believe Max will win, so I write that his name the line stemming from that pair’s bracket.

Continue until all lines are filled out!

Points and Scoring:

After every round, you will tally how many characters that you correctly guessed would win the bracket. Round 1 is 1 point per character guessed correctly, round 2 is 2 points per character guessed correctly, etc. As an example, say Max wins his bracket, but Jean Garcia loses his bracket. I win 1 point for that section because Max won but Jean Garcia lost (and Penny Spender won). If Max wins against Penny Spender, I get 2 points for that section. Then, I add the points up at the end of the game, so for this section, so far I have 3 points.

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 8 wins an item of their choice from the Paranatural merch store, the Eightfold plushie, or the entire library from Zack’s itch.io, and second place gets one item from Zack’s itch.io.

Here’s the bracket for Starch Radness 7! This year’s theme is funny expressions.

We’re continuing our prediction bracket contest where you can win merch from the Paranatural store or items from Zack Morrison’s itch.io.

Additionally, for every bracket we receive, we will be donating $5 to Care for G*aza (censored due to Tumblr causing issues with posts regarding the matter).

Because we are continuing to use Tumblr polls this year and you can see the live results after voting, entrants may NOT post screenshots or percentages of the results before the poll's voting has ended. Encouraging people to vote one way or another or saying that X choice is winning or losing is permitted, but we feel giving exact numbers may sway the voting too much. If there is an issue, we will talk to you about it first to attempt to resolve it, but we retain the right to disqualify you if a resolution cannot be reached.

Here’s how it works:

If you want to participate, fill out a template bracket (shown below, or you can fill out the photos above if the template bracket makes thing too small to read) with which power you think will win each bracket. These brackets must be turned submitted to Incorrect Pnat Quotes before 9 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 29th. You will receive a message or ask from @blairdiggory​ to confirm that we received your bracket.

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 6 wins one item of their choice from the Paranatural merch store OR the entire library from Zack’s itch.io! Second place gets one item from Zack’s itch.io.

How to fill out a template bracket and how scoring works are explained under the cut. Have fun playing! :D

Template bracket:

First, I’m going to fill out the bracket with who I think will win each round (which is not necessarily my favorite of the pair!). For example, I think “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Expression)” is going to beat out “Chapter 5, Page 135 (Isabel doesn't want to have anything in common with Mr. Spender expression)“. So on the line stemming from their bracket, I write “Chapter 5, Page 188” (or Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face, etc.) like this:

I do this for all pairs in the first round. Then, we get to the pairs in the second round. For my prediction bracket, I believe the first two powers facing off will be “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face)” and “Chapter 1, Page 36 (BE SYE-LENT!)”. Of those two, I believe “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face)” will win, so I write that on the line stemming from that pair’s bracket.

Continue until all lines are filled out!

Points and Scoring:

After every round, you will tally how many funny expressions that you correctly guessed would win the bracket. Round 1 is 1 point per funny expression guessed correctly, round 2 is 2 points per funny expression guessed correctly, etc. As an example, say “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face)” wins its bracket, but “Chapter 1, Page 36 (BE SYE-LENT!)” loses its bracket. I win 1 point for that section because “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face)” won but “Chapter 1, Page 36 (BE SYE-LENT!)” lost (and “Chapter 5, Page 94 (Not the answer Ed wanted)” wins). If “Chapter 5, Page 188 (Johnny's Stalk and Hunt a Teacher Face)” wins against “Chapter 5, Page 94 (Not the answer Ed wanted)” I get 2 points for that section. Then, I add the points up at the end of the game, so for this section, so far I have 3 points.

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 7 wins an item of their choice from the Paranatural merch store or the entire library from Zack’s itch.io, and second place gets one item from Zack’s itch.io.

We’re continuing our prediction bracket contest where you can win merch from the Paranatural store or items from Zack Morrison’s itch.io. Here’s how it works:

If you want to participate, fill out a template bracket (shown below, or you can fill out the photos above if the template bracket makes thing too small to read) with which power you think will win each bracket. These brackets must be turned submitted to Incorrect Pnat Quotes before 9 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 23rd.

How to fill out a template bracket and how scoring works are explained under the cut. Have fun playing! :D

Template bracket:

First, I’m going to fill out the bracket with who I think will win each round (which is not necessarily your favorite of the pair!). For example, I think “Pain Absorption” is going to beat out “Make Anything Adhesive“. So on the line stemming from their bracket, I write "Pain Absorption” like this:

I do this for all pairs in the first round. Then, we get to the pairs in the second round. For my prediction bracket, I believe the first two powers facing off will be “Pain Absorption” and “Light Manipulation”. Of those two, I believe “Light Manipulation” will win, so I write that on the line stemming from that pair’s bracket.

Continue until all lines are filled out!

Points and Scoring:

After every round, you will tally how many powers that you correctly guessed would win the bracket. Round 1 is 1 point per wordplay guessed correctly, round 2 is 2 points per wordplay guessed correctly, etc. As an example, say “Pain Absorption” wins its bracket, but “Light Manipulation” loses its bracket. I win 1 point for that section because “Pain Absorption” won but “Light Manipulation” lost (and “Control Emotions” wins). If “Pain Absorption” wins against “Control Emotion” I get 2 points for that section. Then, I add the points up at the end of the game, so for this section, so far I have 3 points.

The person with the most points at the end of Starch Radness 6 wins an item of their choice from the Paranatural merch store or the entire library from Zack’s itch.io, and second place gets one item from Zack’s itch.io.

Tumblr Polls for Starch Radness 6!

Hi all! Given the results of our opinion poll on the matter, we are going to use Tumblr Polls for Starch Radness 6! We hope this change will make it much easier to vote in Starch Radness and, as a result, more people will be able to participate!

However, we do have one concern with Tumblr Polls, which is that after voting, you can see the current results of the poll. We’re worried that if people post screenshots of the current results, they could influence the final results by, either accidentally or on purpose, encouraging (or discouraging) people to vote for one option over the other. Because we usually don’t have over 100 people voting in Starch Radness, even a few people being encouraged to vote a certain way could change the results. We want to keep Starch Radness fair for the fun of the event, but we also want to keep it fair because we’re running the prediction bracket contest, which has prizes that we pay for. Since we have prizes at stake, we are asking you to NOT POST ANY RESULTS before the end of the poll. If posting results becomes a problem, we will switch back to Google Forms.

PREDICTION BRACKET CONTEST ENTRANTS: If you post any results before the poll is final, your bracket will be automatically disqualified. We retain the right to disqualify your bracket if we deem that a post of yours is influencing voters by revealing polling numbers and other polling details. However, we will absolutely reach out to you before disqualifying you for any reason so that we can explain our concerns to you and hopefully reach a conclusion with you that does not involve your dismissal from the contest. We want to be reasonable, and we just want to ensure everyone has a fair shot at the prizes! :)
