Let's talk about some background stuff.
When announcing and planning Lord of the Board, we had intended to allow weaker threads that do not get to linger on the catalog a chance to participate provided somebody was willing to manage them (read: fill out the form). Early on there was apprehension over certain threads, but ultimately we decided to not allow threads that were not allowed on /vt/.
>So why did you accept /become/'s submission early on?
Ignorance. We were not aware that /become/ was a banned thread, just under the impression it did not have traction to stay alive. We tested this ourselves and found that it got pruned pretty quickly.
>Why was there debate allowed over /meat/, then?
During early deliberation over /become/ and /meat/'s inclusion, it was apparent that a raid by an outside party was attempting to divert the narrative. In order to help identify the source of this raid, we allowed discussion to continue in the short term, then resolved it long-term by promising internal deliberation. After discovering the source of the raid, we have elected to forgive and forget, however our deliberation came to the conclusion that it was better for the health of the event, the thread, and the board to disallow banned threads entirely from the first Lord of the Board event. Because of this, /become/, /meat/, and /oag/'s submissions were not accepted for this event, and we make no promises of their inclusion in future events.
>What about the submissions from /jp/ and /pw/?
We felt it was damaging to the first event to allow board outsiders to participate. The /pw/ submission was a 100% confirmed sockpuppet attempt by a manager for another thread, and the /jp/ submission, while kino, had nothing to do with vtubers and was also highly suspected of being a sockpuppet attempt itself.
>Will /jp/ and /pw/ be considered for future events?
At this time, we do not intend to allow non-/vt/ threads to participate in the Lord of the Board tournament.
>What about /ehe~/?
The verification "question" was set up in such a way to encourage submissions to embrace the silly and fun spirit of the event while simultaneously checking to see how well the writer could follow directions, with the understanding that most threads would just submit local copypastas (which would solve both problems at once). There was some allowance given if we could contact the manager involved, however the /ehe~/ manager's provided contact info did not work and we were summarily ghosted after trying to get in touch with them for a week, and nobody in their thread picked up the slack. To compare, /rrat/ submitted a bad form entirely (even though it was funny), but picked up the slack within about 10 minutes of being told they fucked up.
>Alright, what were the promos we cut REALLY for? Surely they weren't just some keikaku doori bullshit test of character?
It's a secret to everyone.
>Where the FUCK is /vtai/??????????????????????????
Made you look.
