That's right, by non-existant demand, it returns! The Tournament of Randomness is back, bigger and better than ever!

Not content with a mere 64 competitors, this time we'll be fielding a doubled field of 128, competing in 127 different events! Of course, in order to get a field this large, we need nominations. So here's the rules.

Each person can nominate a field of ten, if things peter out, then I'll get non-DL to come up with participants.
Aside from that, there's only two real rules.

1) Have fun. Namely, don't try and nominate to make this less interesting or piss people off.
2) Keep your nominations notable. Obscura will not make it in.

What's that, no RPG or even game requirement? That's right! This field is so wide open that any fictional personage can make it in! So, have fun and get me your lists so the second great tournament of randomness can begin!

Hey, I made updates

3) Ebony/Enoby/Eboby/Egogy Dark'ness Dementia Raven/Tara Way (My Immortal)
5) Gary Coleman (Avenue Q) - it's a completely different character than the real life version - if this isn't ok, then use The Nostalgia Critic

10) "Welcome to Corneria" Guard (FF)

The list above has them all. These should be the changes.

Ok, one new rule. No inanimate objects.

Also, five slots remaining.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2010, 12:27:57 AM »

But what about such legends as the Weighted Companion Cube and the Tetris L-Block?!

Excal · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2010, 12:32:30 AM »

They both lack agency, something necessary for a shocking 99% of these challenges.

Puniyo (Mana Khemia 2)

And, the nominations are closed.

Thanks for all who nominated folks. Also, keep your heads up as there's a few nominees that got in without appearing here.
