@GUI when you say "no synopsis" does that mean that I can do synopsis if I want to but it isn't necessary or does that mean that a synopsis just flat out isn't allowed?

What do you guys think of a best running gag or funny character quirk or comedy moment type contest btw? Or maybe funniest series or movie or something? @GUI@Devilbat@Makima de Sade
I think that could be fun potentially?

I think it could be fun, but not sure how many people would join tbh. Of course, I would to help out, but I am not sure. You can test it out of course. If you plan to go next, I'd suggest making a thread here about which tournament people want next. Make a poll with options, however many you want, and allow like 3 or 5 votes, depending on how many poll options are there, and then see which one seems to be the most popular one.

Aye thats a really good idea and advice too, thank you! It is a bit of a tough one to gauge definitely, might be too niche or specific or w/e? I was tempted to just do music and art ones as I love those and they do seem to be far more popular/preferred to any that require synopses especially.
I may just start with a specific music one as its easier/safer to do and see where to go from there, especially going by what you suggested to decide future tournaments as well.
I wanted to ban more series and not just One Piece for my mine but that might not go down very well ofc, since I want to ban like 5 of them at least too lmfao. There's 2 I want to ban at least regardless though, for personal reasons, if I do run a contest I mean though.
Whats the ideal minimum number of people for a contest too? I dont mind them being shorter/quicker too due to less players as well.

Best comedy moment can be tricky because sometimes there's a lot of build up and without knowing the full story the punchline might get lost. Best running gag seems more straightforward and will likely be easier. E.g. if you mention Zoro's gag of always getting lost, it's easy to understand, if you explain some funny scenes with him (e.g. I considered him trying to escape by cutting his legs and then trying to die in a cool pose funny), you will have to explain why it was funny and thus the joke could be lost.
I agree with @Makima de Sade suggestions on having at least 14 people, it makes a quick and fairly easy tourney, I had 24 and the first round was a little overwhelming to me, with 3 brackets and all.
Out of interest, which series beside OP would you like to ban?

Aye thats some very good points too. I was concerned that might be an issue too. I suppose I could ask people to post a funny panel or manga page or short scene from a show or movie as a video, but as you said, ti would have to be something that doesnt require priour buildup/knowledege/context, something that is funny on its own and thus you can laugh at it without knowing the series.
Thats some great advice, thank you. 14 people does sound like a pretty decent amount for a smaller tourney, I was thinking it was gonna be between 12 and 16 maybe so thats perfect.
Aye I can imagine! Light makes it seem so easy but thats just how chill he is ofc haha, also how used to it, experienced he is, got it down to an art now! I was dreading trying to run a contest with a much higher number of people like 20, 24 like you had or even worse higher than that too potentially. Sounds like a huge headache to manage and keep track of!
Even though I'm a big fan of these series ironically, I still want to exclude them as they have WAY too much power and popularity here, it really skews the contests WAY too much in their favour, just like One Piece from what I've seen many times now: Bleach, Naruto and Jojo's/JJBA.
I really hate Berserk and Made In Abyss for extremely personal reasons and wanted to ban them regardless, non negotiable lol. I considered banning AOT too as I really hate it now, I used to be a fan of it but im just sick of it now too.
Id love to see more and more niche entries get submitted but banning these series might put off a lot of people from entering too. Some contests like best OST or most emotional music or w/e type ones had some AMAZING, very niche, unexpected type entries and I discovered a lot of amazing music that way, so I really want to encourage more of that too. I much prefer seeing entries for lesser popular/known series and thus underdogs, rather than the same groundhog day circlejerk of the same few series and characters being repeatedly submitted and dominating these contests multiple times now.
The character design contest had some serious issues with this for example imo, which annoyed me a lot too.
I might focus on running video game themed contests too mainly as thats my passion too btw.
