FINAL ROUND

Propaganda from submitters below the cut; I will reblog any additions!

GlaDOS (Portal) -murderous ai -please don't ask me about the veracity of the cake -GLaDOS isn't just a computer she is the entirety of Aperture, she was created to contain the mind of a separate lady but seems to have her own personality, and her creators hate her and she killed them. I love her. I will forgive all her crimes. Yeah she's a bully but she's also severely hurt she can kill all she wants. (reblog link)

Data (Star Trek) -Data is a sentient synthetic life form designed in the likeness of Doctor Noonien Soong, his creator. In his growth as an individual, Data was later augmented with an emotion chip to help him better understand human behavior and increase his own humanity. -reblog link for images (1) -reblog link for images (2)

[gimmick-blog-bracket]

So this is one of those tournament blogs. This one is about gimmick blogs.

Submissions are closed!

I'm honestly shocked that it seems like nobody has done this before.

How this is going to work

So the amount of blogs in this tournament obviously hinges upon how many submissions this gets. I'm going to use the greatest power of two that you can get from the amount of valid* submissions. For instance, if there are 11 submissions, this tournament would have 8 blogs competing.

A gimmick blog can be submitted multiple times, but the ones that get removed from the tournament if the number isn't a power of 2 are the ones who lose a series of polls I will run after the debatable cases are taken care of.

*When I say valid, I mean that the blog is actually a gimmick blog. If a submitted blog is debatably a gimmick blog (which is to say that it's not obviously a gimmick blog, but it isn't just someone who submitted their main and said their gimmick is being cool or whatever), then I will probably run a poll to see if you people consider it a gimmick blog or not.

If you run a blog that was submitted to this bracket and for whatever reason don't want to participate, just let me know

Phylum Final Round!

For the Phylum Level Champion!

Reminder: This is the final PHYLUM round. Winner goes on to classes!

Magnoliophyta (aka angiosperms, flowering plants): A large, diverse phylum with over 300,000 known species. Two of the more well-known sub-divisions are monocots (including grains, onion-like plants, and irises and lilies) and eudicots (including most leafy trees, a wide variety of flowers such as sunflowers and roses, and many food plants from coffee to cabbages.)

Bryophyta (aka mosses): Small but mighty, and among the most ancient of land plants. 95% of all moss species are in the class Bryopsida, while Sphagnopsida contains the bog-loving peat mosses.

Phylum Round 3

Annelida: Segmented Worms. This group includes earthworms, leeches, and many classes under the umbrella of “polychaete”. This diverse phylum encompasses deposit feeders (eating dirt), detritivores, scavengers, deadly ambush predators, filter feeders, parasites, herbivores, and more. They are broadly defined by their repeating body segments and parapodia, which are nubby appendages used for both movement and breathing. Some have curved jaws for catching prey or scraping detritus off of rocks, while others have wide, elaborate, brightly colored feather-like fans for filter feeding. While able to crawl freely, a majority of marine Annelids spend most of their time in self-built tubes or burrows. Among their many important functions, they play a key role in mixing soil/sediment, breaking down decaying organic matter, and providing a key food source to countless other animals.

Cnidaria: Jellyfish, anemones, corals, box jellies, and hydroids. They have a gelatinous body with radial symmetry, a decentralized nervous system, and tentacles surrounding a simple mouth. The defining feature of this phylum are their cnidocytes, or stinging cells. There are two different body plans of the Cnidaria; an immobile “polyp” attached to a surface, or a free-living “medusa” which can swim or drift in the water column. Many polyp Cnidarians, such as corals, live in colonies. Some corals build reefs which serve as habitat for other animals. Free-living medusa Cnidarians must return to the seafloor in a polyp-like stage as a part of their life cycle.
