if we remove both scourge sisters and chip skylark we will have to think of characters to replace them And really NOBODY wants that.

But yeah, Chip's been on my radar for removal for ages, he was the only character not submitted by a 'staff member' and his idea just came from some random anon that showed up and posted it, and then we just put it in.

His sources are fairly decent though, just weak compared to a lot of other characters.

Also overlap with other tournaments are fine and if the tournament that Bart mentioned was rebooted, it's not like Verbalase is a character in it anymore, plus Tony I know you don't like Homestuck, but you do kind of have a point as there's the Karkat-Gamzee team in Another Unnecessary Tournament (forgot what their team name was though) and Bec Noir in Temporary Flight Attendant. Yet in both cases though, they stil had enough unique sources tacked onto the Homestuck sources for each Homestuck tournament character to be different. The first had clowns and crabs if I remember, Bec Noir had dogs and gangs and Scourge Sisters have dragons and law enforcement, it's not like all are copy-paste.

Still Cartoon Network/adult swim is an even more overused source yert nobody complains about that, most tournaments I've seen have some sort of character representing it and then there's Touhou, both tournaments I mentioned also had a Touhou character if I remember.

If we LITERALLY have a category for characters lifted form other people's tournaments (ThatGuy still doesn't been notified btw) then overlap is obviously inevitable.
