This thread will explain the basic Royal Rumble rules, will have the current roster and results spreadsheet attached that will be updated after each match or final tiebreaker, and will announce the winning girls of each match.
>The Stakes
Four girls will fight in each match with a specific theme that connects all four girls, with only the winner moving on to the main tournament. The purpose of the Rumble is to make it harder for any particular series to dominate the tourney and to whittle down an already large roster to something more manageable to keep the tournament engaging throughout the planned month-and-a-half the tourney is active.
The main tourney seeding for Rumble girls will be determined by sorting by how well a winning girl won during this Rumble, with any tied seed strength being broken by coin flip or die.
>In Case of a Tie
If the top two girls are tied at the end of a poll, then a one-hour poll blitz will be posted until one of the two girls wins. If three or more girls are tied for the Royal Rumble poll, then there will be a six-hour extended poll, followed by any necessary hour tie-breaking poll blitz for the top two. Due to both technical reasons (below) and medical reasons, I may not post the tie-breaker poll once a poll is over, so please be patient.
>Anti-Hate Voting, Anti-Rigging, Anti-Bitching Rules
I have been mulling over this ever since the idea of this tourney was in my head, because of what happened during Christ's contest. Ultimately, I think such rules are usually gay, potentially zapp the fun for innocent people, add burdensome complexity for me, and do not always accomplish the goals of those rules due to the nature of the Fediverse; HOWEVER, the behavior of some of you niggers during the vidya girl contest, especially late contest towards Nintendo and Touhou fans zapped the fun out of the contest for many more than if a rule was hypothetically in place. If I see this behavior en masse again in my tourney and think the risks of the rules are worth taking to preserve fun and peace, I will do it.
Needless to say, don't be a nigger or a bitch and give me a reason to think about adding such rules. Ever!
>My favorite girl lost the Rumble. It's all over. :KonataCry:
Do NOT fret! There will be four wild cards that will still enter the main tournament and will be chosen either as the top four losers or by a special circumstance that you, yes you, may cause through concerted effort to push you girl into the main tourney. Work hard for your girl to help her against all odds!
>Where's the link to the Plemora version of the post so I can view the exact numbers like Christi's Vidya Girl Contest?
Mugicha does not have a Plemora front end and does not allow remote view of the direct site for non-members. Poast does have both and will be used by the host to get exact exact the raw poll numbers, but the Plemora front end's federation with poll outside Poast is not greatest with keeping up with real time data, so results may be delayed for several minutes to an hour after a poll ends.
If Poast's plemora does give accurate real time numbers, then I will post an update every four hours.
>I don't like the pictures or descriptions you used for my girl(s)
>I think what's in the poll post is causing unfair bias
The poll and girl listing in post and poll is ordered by the nominations and alphabet. I will admit being a flawed human and a babe in terms of enjoying anime and otakuism, so what I deem to be a high-quality picture or good description may not be to others.
Even if a poll started, I can modify the description paragraph and picture used to your liking if necessary. You can also go here: https://poa.st/@SuperSnekFriend@mugicha.club/posts/AcVqiuYCw78yBNLY4O or search for this account and going to the bottom pinned post to suggest a description and pictures before your girl's or girls' match
