With those we've lost, it only feels right to look back to those who lost in the tournament while it still existed.

8th - Atlanta Roads
A duo of rappers with storied pasts on both sides. Though they kept their secrets, even with it all revealed, they remained close friends and partners until the end of the road.

7th - Adventure Machine
DJs with a digital past, they shared many close friendships with the survivors. With them as constant bastions of hope, things seemed possible until they were gone.

6th - Windows Warriors
Controversial figures in the Estate, but beloved ones nonetheless. Despite differences, the Warriors added something irreplaceable to the dynamic of our cast.

5th - The Humanz
While many were disheartened by the disappearances of friends, these three tried to lighten the load by bringing a fun vibe to the Estate. With them gone, things seem much more dull.

Though they were some of the unfortunate victims of the White Noise Incident, it is important that we remember their best rather than their worst. If the remaining four were still around, they would agree.

Right?

For Those We've Abandoned (Third + Fourth Round Losers Eulogy)

He can feel the hatred in their gaze. But all he can think of is the people that killed his brothers.

He snarls, claws swiping before he can stop himself.

---

Whether through a miracle or through the clash, the end has come for Lone Digger. Taking the name of the bar that became his friends' grave, he's been living quietly for quite a while, biding his time... until Ultimus Tourney, where he came back with a vengeance. Since, he's reigned with tooth and claw over the Loser's Bracket, refusing to follow the fate of his brothers in arms. Now that the end has come calling, can Thomas keep swinging, or has the aftermath caught up with him?

[CYCLE #79]

It begins with an argument. Something about planning going wrong, ideas not working well with one another, but it soon escalates. Things are said that perhaps shouldn't be. Things that only grate on the nerves further. 

With the group split up, there's nobody to stop it from festering, the anger and frustration building until contact is made. By then, it's too late.

It was a shame that the others had to come across a body before I was able to turn it back again.

TTT has been the best thing I've made. Period.
There are a few imperfections here and there but I'm still really proud of how everything has been. The road has been very bumpy to get to this point, especially these last few months where I've been an emotional wreck, but I got back up and made TTT something I'm proud of again.
I've met so many new people and friends from making this thing, and I'm grateful backroom has even stuck around with this thing through the toughest of times. I care for every single person in backroom and I couldn't thank ya'll enough for helping out.
Whether you've been here since the start, with the shitty balancing and weird teamups
Whether you've joined from the LR crossover, which was one of the most fun things to set up
Whether you joined from a friend or some other server
Whether you found the tourney just in general on SC or YT
I can't thank you all enough, seriously. I couldn't have asked for a better fanbase or a better backroom.
Here's to another year, or two, or whatever it takes to finish this
Love ya'll

I'll be honest, Sengoku here is... a nice change of pace! She's a bit shy, content to remain in the background, but compared to these other three it's a godsend. With so much fixation on death, and the end... Having a normal girl around to change the subject when it gets too deep is very nice. Still, I don't know how much help she'd be in pushing back the Shattered... The Zeta Protocol has certainly been a mixed bag so far. Twelve more, though. Who knows, maybe I'll find the perfect person for the job? 

I sure hope I do. We don't have forever.

-

Every journey's got to start with a step, and Sengoku Nadeko is here to take her first! Though she's something of a romantic, it seems something may be hidden under the surface for her... not that she'd say much about it. This shy high school student represents all things Studio Shaft, as well as... snakes and ghosts? How peculiar! Most interestingly, she's got quite a knack for the Soundclown style... Though she hides plenty of mysteries, she's sincerely ready to go!

[lr2m2] Horrors Beyond Disbelief

Every night I catch your light,
Shining brighter than the city sky,
You’re the reason my heart beats fast,
A melody I hope will last.


And when the world feels far away,
You’re the one who makes me stay.


Love like this, it’s all I’ve known,
You feel like home when I’m alone.
Closer than stars, you’re all I see,
The universe lives inside of you and me.

We’re a song the night repeats,
Dancing barefoot on quiet streets,
Every touch feels like a spark,
A gentle fire in the dark.


And when the silence tries to speak,
Your voice is all I need.


Love like this, it’s all I’ve known,
You feel like home when I’m alone.
Closer than stars, you’re all I see,
The universe lives inside of you and me.


No distance can keep us apart,
You carry the map to my heart.
Every dream leads me back to you,
Forever feels like something true.


Love like this, it’s all I’ve known,
You feel like home when I’m alone.
Closer than stars, you’re all I see,
The universe lives inside of you and me.


Closer than stars…
You’re closer than stars to me.

Reex - You Yeah  (Short Play)

[Verse 1]
They said, “Your family waits outside,”
But Jesus looked with eyes so wide.
“The ones who hear, the ones who do,
They are My family, strong and true!”

Blood may bind, but faith unites,
Hearts that walk in holy light.
Through trials, storms, and raging seas,
God’s family stands — unshaken, free!

[Pre-Chorus]
Not by birth, but by belief,
We share in His victory.
Step out in faith, trust His command,
Take His Word and firmly stand!

[Chorus]
Who is my family?
Those who follow faithfully!
Through the storm, through the rain,
We walk with Jesus — strong we remain!
Who is my family?
Hearts united eternally!
Every hand, every voice, every soul,
In Christ alone, we are made whole!

[Verse 2]
A storm arose, the waves were high,
The wind howled loud, the clouds drew nigh.
Jesus slept, but His eyes saw clear,
Faith in Him casts out all fear!

“Peace, be still!” — the wind obeyed,
The storm subsided, the waves obeyed.
He calms the sea, He calms our hearts,
In His Word, we play our part!

[Pre-Chorus]
Not by birth, but by belief,
We share in His victory.
Step out in faith, trust His command,
Take His Word and firmly stand!

[Chorus]
Who is my family?
Those who follow faithfully!
Through the storm, through the rain,
We walk with Jesus — strong we remain!
Who is my family?
Hearts united eternally!
Every hand, every voice, every soul,
In Christ alone, we are made whole!

[Bridge]
Faith over blood, faith over fear,
In every storm, He’s always near!
Step into the waves, let Him lead,
He is our family — all we need!

[Breakdown]
Leader: Who obeys the Word?
Choir: We do!
Leader: Who calms the storm?
Choir: Jesus! It’s true!
Leader: Who is family?
Choir: Those who follow His way!
All: Faith in Christ will never sway!

[Final Chorus]
Who is my family?
Those who follow faithfully!
Through the storm, through the rain,
We walk with Jesus — strong we remain!
Who is my family?
Hearts united eternally!
Every hand, every voice, every soul,
In Christ alone, we are made whole!

[Outro]
Family of faith, strong and free,
Walking in His victory!
Storms may rise, winds may roar,
In Jesus’ name — forevermore!

Welcome to the end of the world. Only five people remain from our previous 28, marking our final four contenders. 

Through the destruction of the Ultimus Estate comes more obscurity, yet clarity all at once. Five people stand against what remains of the Baron, all from different walks of the world. Time and space have eroded to nothing, leaving only carnage in its wake, and only one chance remains to save what's left.

But in the end, is anything worth saving at all?

And most importantly... What is the White Noise?

This is a multimedia project, taking place both on YouTube and Soundcloud, with a heavy emphasis on story. You can read the story so far from the link on the sidebar, or right here: https://ultimus-tourney.tumblr.com/story

Vote for those you want to see continue forward, because you will only get one chance.
