META MADHOUSE 2021đź’ĄThrowdown on Themyscirađź’Ą



Hey everyone! March is almost here—you know what time it is! :boom: Join us on Themyscira for a tournament of prowess and grit*, pitting 32 of DC’s most courageous heroines against 32 of DC’s most diabolical villainesses!

*Brought to you by the brave and the bold citizens of DCUI! (:100: DIY: for the community, by the community. :muscle:) With the switch to DCUI, the resources weren’t available for the event this year, but the community has rallied to keep the tradition alive!


HOW TO PLAY:

  • Download the Meta Madhouse 2021 Tournament PDF :arrow_right: HERE and fill in your selections.

  • Save it as a jpg or png file and upload it to the “2021 Meta Madhouse - Post Your Bracket” thread :arrow_right: HERE (Details below)

  • Cast your votes for each match in the threads dedicated to each round. (See schedule below) Polls for each round will open at 3AM PST/6AM EST and close :rotating_light: 68 Hours later at 11PM PST/2AM EST.

  • Ties in voting will be determined via a coin toss by Hera.


Decree From Mount Olympus

Each team will have a patron goddess:

Wonder Woman’s Warriors
:owl: Patron: Athena, Goddess of War Strategy

Hippolyta’s Heroines
:sparkles: Patron: Demeter, Goddess of Sacral Magic

Granny’s Good Girls
:dagger: Patron: Eris, Goddess of Chaos

Dr. Poison’s Femme Fatales
:crescent_moon: Patron: Nyx, Goddess of Darkness.


Why, you ask? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Why to keep things interesting, of course!!

We know the pantheon loves a good contest, so they’ll be watching w/ great interest. It is also true that gods and goddesses are known for being capricious, and all are subject to their whims— BEHOLD: :balance_scale:

The Olympian Override*

*Esteemed historian and Official :00_dc_2016: Archivist BENJAMIN LE CLEAR has selected a character in each bracket that is eligible for an Olympian Override. (Mr. Le Clear’s Most Recent Q&A)

HOW IT WORKS:

Each patron goddess gets​:point_up:ONE Olympian Override per bracket. Once the votes are in, if an override occurs, Hera, as Queen of the gods, must have her say! She’ll flip a coin :coin: (an Athenian Silver Tetradrachm from the 4th century BCE, to be exact):

  • Heads the override is ALLOWED.
  • Tails the override is REJECTED.
  • Winner moves on.

Then we did our job right in “curating” the brackets. :smiling_imp:

The picks, even in the early rounds should have some hard choices. Those hard choices are why we allow for multiple brackets. Cuz sometimes ya just can’t chose, so you can do a different bracket where you flip some of the tough matchups. :grinning:
