🐽👑 THE CROWN OF IRON HOOVES
...TOURNAMENT TRANSMISSION...AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE....
I owe everyone an update...
The world is changing so fast I feel like I can't keep up...who knows what the state of AI...the direction technology is headed...and the uncertainty of what tomorrow might bring....It has me questioning what the future of this project will look like....
I've been working constant overtime.... My days are consumed by work and the one thing I desperately need is something money can't buy back....time.
I barely have time for Wïgger Pig anymore, much less the enormous undertaking that is The Crown of Iron Hooves World Tournament....but heres the thing...
The tools I currently have aren't good enough for what I'm trying to create......
I'm tired of fighting inconsistent AI generations, censorship, creative restrictions, and the limitations of frontier models that promise incredible things but repeatedly fall short of my vision.......
I need better AI.....I need greater creative freedom.....I need the ability to run powerful models locally......on my own terms.....without constantly fighting against the tools themselves which I find myself going back into madness from....
And that's where the Cosmic Battlestation comes in.... 🌌
Behind the scenes...I'm working toward building something that could change the world of Wïgger Pig forever....
This isn't just about buying a better computer......It's about building the foundation for an entirely new era of creation....greater independence....fewer creative limitations....and the ability to bring ideas to life that simply aren't possible with my current setup.....
I'm still working toward getting the hardware together....Its ridiculous how expensive things are....feels luxury....
But the vision is there.....
...The Cosmic Battlestation is the future...
I could compromise.....I could rush something together and release a garbage that doesn't meet my expectations.....
But that would defeat the entire purpose of why I started creating in the first place.....
This was never just about money... attention....or putting out content....
It's about creating something beautiful.
To everyone who submitted a fighter.... supported the tournament....or believed in this project.....I haven't forgotten you.....
I can't promise a release date. I can't predict what the future of AI will look like.....or even how much free time I'll have in the coming months.....
.....What I can tell you is that I'm still working....still learning.....and still building toward something greater......I'm just really fed up and I'm going to find a way to make this shit a reality....The Crown of Iron Hooves World Tournament is NOT canceled...
...But it is no longer the same project I originally imagined...
It is transforming....
The technology is evolving...The vision is growing....And somewhere behind the scenes......a Cosmic Battlestation is slowly waiting to becoming a reality....
And so am I.....
Slowly but surely....🌌🐽
THE CROWN STILL AWAITS...
....Didn't want to post this but fuck it...the people need to know...thank you for reading. 🐽
🐽⚔️ OFFICIAL RULES REVISION ⚔️🐽
FIGHTER SUBMISSIONS JUST GOT A LOT EASIER.
After seeing the first submissions come in, I realized I was asking you guys for way too much.
So we're simplifying things. 🐽
⚠️ THIS POST REPLACES [3/4] & [4/4] OF THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION RULES.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📋 WHAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT
🐽 FIGHTER NAME
🎭 FIGHTER TYPE
Tell me whether your fighter is:
ORIGINAL: your own character/design
or
PARODY / REMIX: based on or inspired by something that already exists.
If it's a Parody / Remix, just tell me what it's based on.
📷 ORIGINAL / BASE PIG IMAGE
🎨 CLEAR FIGHTER REFERENCES
That's it.
Your references can be ONE SHEET or MULTIPLE IMAGES.
They don't need to be fancy.
I just need enough clear visual information to faithfully recreate your fighter during the Tournament.
If I'm missing an important angle or detail, I'll ask you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗑️ NO LONGER REQUIRED
❌ Lore
❌ Fighting Style
❌ Weapons / Equipment / Abilities write-up
❌ Separate VS Photo
Want to include that stuff anyway?
GO FOR IT!
Extra lore, abilities, attacks and information about your fighter are still completely welcome.
They're just OPTIONAL now.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔️ OFFICIAL VS ART
You no longer need to create a separate VS image.
I'll create the official matchup artwork featuring both fighters together.
🐽 YOU MAKE THE FIGHTER.
⚔️ I'LL HANDLE THE TOURNAMENT PRESENTATION.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 CREATORS & ORIGINALITY
🚫 DO NOT steal another community member's fighter or design and submit it as your own.
Remixes and inspired designs ARE allowed, but credit the original creator when applicable.
If another community member's work is involved and they object to its use, I reserve the right to remove the entry.
Give people credit for their work. It's that simple.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚖️ PARODIES / THIRD PARTY MATERIAL
Parody, remix and fan-inspired fighters are welcome.
However, please avoid unnecessary official logos, branding and other third-party material.
For Tournament production, I may rename, alter, obscure or remove third party names, logos, branding or other elements when necessary.
Participation in the Tournament does NOT imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation with any third party rights holder.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📜 CORE RULES
🚫 NO VISIBLE EARS.
👤 ONE fighter per account.
👥 An inseparable duo may enter as ONE fighter. No hordes.
🎨 Biped? Quadruped? Monster? Robot? Mage? Pixel fighter? Something completely insane?
GO FOR IT.
Just make it belong in the Wigger Pig universe. 🐽
📢 PUBLIC ENTRY: Quote Post your completed fighter.
🔒 PRIVATE / ANONYMOUS ENTRY: DM me.
Anonymous fighters are still fully eligible for prizes.
🎬 Small production changes may be made when necessary to reproduce fighters consistently or prepare them for Tournament battles.
🔒 Once a fighter is officially submitted, they cannot be withdrawn.

Critical moment for local AI 🚨
I don't know what will happen, but I'm downloading all the weights I can and care about. I suggest you do the same... even if you can't run them.
btw the jews are going to rip nvidia to new all time highs and rape every short seller because markets haven't been real for 30 years and they are price insensitive buyers that distort markets to adhere to whatever narrative they are pushing at the time. this is also why every prediction market is led by jews.
when they can't establish narratives using media they rely on their money.
people familiar with economists like F.A. Hayek will know that libertarians worship the free market and price itself as a signal of information.
you have to break rank and realize whats happening if you ever want to escape this matrix. the economy isn't real, the stock market is a proxy for jewish interests (they own 90% of mutual funds), and no one is coming to save you until you become an appropriate level of racist.
We had a brief, beautiful moment here of a glimpse into what should have been the dawning AI Golden Age.
Unfortunately, with this sabotage of American Open Source, it looks like we are leaving the good timeline behind and beginning the descent into the AI Doomsday Scenario.
