Speaking of which, while I'm on this topic:

The original rule for parody characters is they had to be submitted with the parody owner's permission and if they couldn't be notified or said no, they weren't allowed.

This was just never a problem because all the character that got in came from parodies that were made by us, the literal members of the crew so to speak. (King for 24 Hours, King for a Crazy Day, my parody I'm vaguely trying to reserrect)

And the only parody character submissions that weren't from parodies owned by team members were either submitted with their approval (Bus 800 and Piers) or were submitted by a parody owner themselves. (Other Ilusiongale)

this however calls into question snail-chan

I personally feel, that out of respect for the creators behind Mashup Week, permission should be asked for usage of Snail-chan in our tournament and I feel like a message on TheGuyMashupWeek's wall should be in order directly asking him since for those unaware (i.e. basically just Sakura) he is the original creator of Mashup Week, while multiple other artists and rippers made stuff for it.

You could also post onto Mashup Week's board, but I feel like that's a bit too public (and also block reads it often >_>) and his last comment here on any board was om the 16th, so he's on here off and on.

No matter what you do, make sure to post the newcomers doc so that he can see her source list, make sure to state she's number 57 so he can find her, or not so he can read the doc at his leisure, who knows. >_> Also that her art is a placeholder since considering as how his first introduction will be this, I don't want us to look like art thieves since that's a bit no no.

After my dealings with Westie, I'm kinda just a bit paranoid and overly complex about dealing with anyone I deem an important figure here aside from folks I'm close with like Sakura, so I may be going a bit overboard here. I feel like the most important thing is to let him now about King for a New Dawn, what it is, that Snail-chan was chosen and her art is a placeholder, and about her sources.

I feel like this is something that is very important, as Sakura put Block's characters into Crazy Day with permission (probably as suggestions from Block himself) and in general usage of ideas on here that came from other people seems to be a lot more tight than stuff on SoundCloud, and since Mashup Week is one of the objectively best parodies out there I feel it is only right to respect it's creator's permission as well.

I feel like it should be something Sakura should do since it is technically her responsibility, but I also say maybe Bart should do it because he knows and follows Mashup Week the closest out of all of us. All I'm saying is it can't be me since I'm an anon and he won't be notified for messages from me. >_>
