    Welcome! Welcome one and all! To the first ever ARLOL AWARDS.

    What is this you may ask? Well it's like the Wattos...but with videos. Cause why limit ourselves? Thanks to @Darth Punk for allowing me to do this.

    The way it is will be this, they're are 8 categories with 8 videos a piece. Each category will have 2 go at a time, till one is crowned winner of that category. The winner will be chosen every 2 days. (Or around it)

    Then, I'll use a random number generator to assign the 8 category winners to a bracket once again, till one is crowned winner.

    And now to introduce the 8 categories:
    Cats, dogs, birds, sheep/goats, cool, funny, kids, and random.

    We will start of course with cats. Here are the first two competitors
    Tiger Slap


    Vs

    Seal Slap



    And commence the fighting

    Is this where we vote on which was the worse decision?

    Traveling to Asia... to visit Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    or

    Traveling to Asia... to visit a bowling alley.

    The answer is doing several escape rooms in the middle of a pandemic

    The pandemic is the escape room.

    Seal slap is pretty funny. I like to think the seal is saying “why is Arlon putting himself through this?”

    I see you went with anonymous voting. This will kill your ratings; approximately 76% of people turn into the wattos do it because of the intrigue, the back-stabbing, the drama, and you take that away?

    You are really trying to form a competitor to the Wattos?

    Did you learn nothing from the super league?

    This isn't a competitor. It's an extension

    Technically, I'm not anymore. But I'll use it for this award. Makes sense to do it that way.

    The second cat is lucky it's not a cat pancake. The mighty Whomp Seal is a paragon of mercy.

    If the tiger cat would have some Rocky - going the distance / war music in the background it would win this easily

    We need to see the names of the enemies of the seals so we can give them a proper whomping.

    On a more serious note, about the format, you have an estimated runtime of (8 categories + 1 final bracket) x [4 (1st round) + 2 (2nd round) + 1 (3rd round) ] x 2 days = 9 brackets x 7 rounds/bracket x 2 days/round = 126 days, covering a total of 63 rounds of voting, and a total of 64 interventions on your part and 63 mod interventions. That's a heavy format, demanding engagement over more than four months; and it's going to take a lot of work and creativity to avoid user fatigue.

    I thought the Wattos were a JCC Awards Rip-Off?

    The Wattos are not a rip-off. Nor is the Wattos Academy Of Animal Gifs. The golden statue is an original design.
