The Robot Bracket

@the-robot-bracket

Pleased to meet you, humans! I am the Robot-AnalystTM. It would further my data collection if you participate in this survey.

Greetings humans and welcome to the Robot Survey where we try to get data on who is the best fictional robot. AIs and Cyborgs are also included, for any human wondering.

I am the Robot-AnalystTM, so I am very interested in 'propaganda' for data collection. Please send it to me.

You may send me good Robots, evil Robots or any Robot in between, no matter which fictional universe they are originally from.

For robot submission, please use this link:

Inspired by:

There will be two polls held, one for the popular submissions and later one for the unpopular submissions.

Submission will close on the 21st of May unless the submissions reach a satisfactory number to observe before then. Please share this poll for maximal data.

Thank you in advance.

Submissions will close tomorrow at 18:00 Eastern Time.

Make sure you have submitted your picks! There will be multiple polls, one for the popular and at least another one for the less popular submissions.

Submissions are now closed! Thank you for your submissions!

INTRODUCING: Bracket of sapient locations!!

AI-run space ships, magically alive fortresses, any fictional building or place people can exist on/within that is also a character of its own.

Never run a bracket before and have no idea what I’m doing but I’m going to give this a shot and hope it goes well.

Animals so gigantically huge you can live on them don’t count if they’re just living their animal lives. Submissions must demonstrate some degree of self-awareness/ability to plan at the very least.

Characters on the list already cause I just really like them, ok:

The Distortion (The Magnus Archives)

Hera (Wolf 359)

The Scholomance (Naomi Novik’s Scholomance books)

Lovelace (Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series)

Please submit characters via the ask box and please provide:

Character name

Pronouns

Media they’re from

Any fun facts or personality details you feel like!

I already know 2 Transformers characters who fit this description :)

Rules:

  • Your ship must have fallen in love within a short amount of time! I don't have a set amount of time because ships happen in different ways. It just has to be relatively quick.
  • Your ship doesn't have to be canon, but it can't involve OCs.
  • No Harry Potter or Attack on Titan ships or any other property that I deem problematic. If you're not sure, then just ask!
  • You can submit as many ships as you'd like! I intend to pick the most submitted 32 ships, assuming we get that many!
  • No deadline yet because I have no idea if anyone is actually going to be interested in this.
  • Propaganda is encouraged!

What is an unpopular ship?

We're defining it here as a ship that is small on the scale of the wider fandom ecosystem. It's any ship where you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of content. It does NOT refer to popularity within the fandom itself. For example, Tuggoffelees is by the far the most popular ship in Cats fandom, but since there are only about 15 people in Cats fandom, that still counts as unpopular.

Other than that: look into your heart. You know if a ship is unpopular or not. Let the truth flow through you.

Also, please don't use acronyms! Assume that I know nothing about anything.

Obligatory tags:

Hello! I’m starting a third tumblr tournament before my first one even officially starts because I cannot be stopped. This one is to find tumblr’s favorite New Englander! People from those six states in the United States northeast now have their time to shine. They can be raised in new england but moved away long ago, moved to new england from somewhere else, never left their hometown, anything as long as it’s part of their story! I’ll be accepting submissions for one week, until 3pm est on May 29th

Rules and submission form under the cut:

Anonymous asked:

Have there been any disqualifications so far?

There have been people who submitted 'characters' from tumblr or twitch, which are obviously not fictional universes. They will not be participating in the poll. I might do something with them, but not as real participants.

Alright, time to keep my promise.

There were 4 submissions that were disqualified, but I do want to use them. So, as I start to set up the main polls, prepare yourself for a short poll about real life robots and AI!

Have fun with these small polls~

Reminder: Submissions will close in 6 hours.

Again, even if your character isn't all that popular, there will be multiple polls held, so your submissions will be in a poll at some point.

The first poll will obviously include the most popular submissions. The others that follow right after will include the barely acknowledged ones.

Thank you for all your submissions! Polls will officially start on the 28th if nothing gets in the way.

I will try not to stay silent until then, I do have some plans to keep you engaged during that time. There are still some things I want to figure out (for example: a tie), which I will ask your guidance for. And a small surprise you will either love or hate. We will see.

Anonymous asked:

hii i have a question,, i submitted a character from a webtoon so id like to ask whether that counts?? bc sure Homestuck is a webcomic too but the difference in popularity is MASSIVE so i am asking just in case...

As the Robot-AnalystTM, I consider it a waste of data to only let the popular submissions into the poll and just ignore the other submissions entirely. So, there will be multiple polls to include all data submitted. Do not worry about your submission. They will probably not enter the first poll, but they will enter one that follows right after.

Hi all!! I’ve seen brackets for video games, obscure video games, etc, but never one specifically for flash games but I love them so I am being the change I wish to see in the world ❤️ submit your favorite flash games and may the best game win!! I’ll take submissions for a week, until 3pm est May 27th
