>>5013 Will you still be around, eris anon?

>>5014 I imagine he will be.

>>5014 I just started using an RSS feed reader again so I'll keep an eye out for the cup and tune in when it comes along.

>>5000 You are a godsend for these webms. Nice little digits too.

>>4994 Yeah, in the laws of the game that's a highly reckless, late tackle from behind, not even close to the ball. Easy red.

Does /tv/ really have a team? I have never seen them play.

>>4985 you could have just checked the wiki https://infinitycup.miraheze.org/wiki//tv/ they haven't played since the 5th tournament. i don't think they care either

>>4950 Cup?

At any rate we probably need a better way to advertise shit. Getting viewers and helping hands from the Cafe is easy, but the other IBs/boards might be a bit more reluctant. We need a bunch of fun shit to sell the cup.

>>4953 The fun shit takes commitment though. OC like edits, webms, etc, draws manpower and time alike. Strange since it's generally smaller boards that are keen in doing these (simply compare /ita/, /eris/, /pro/ or /otter/ to larger boards competing in the wiki).

New model added to MEGA. This is another player for /animu/.

>>4935 Have they decided to update the roster? If so, what's the new team like?

>>4936 Nothing's been set on stone yet on their behalf. Besides, there's no hard deadline yet, so I doubt there's a reason to hurry. All of the models added so far have been so because I've felt like adding them brainstorming the models first over the players themselves can help you fill out your roster with something other than stock PES dudes if you're not autistic enough to model you entire team from the ground up.

>>4116 Dissolve Switzerland, give it to Liechtenstein. There.

>>3802 >>/pro/ vs /otter/ I wonder why those two boards feel so different.

On rivalries going on in the cup, it seems that /cuckquean/ has a feud with /v/. In all two cups that /cuckquean/ has participated in, both in crucial spots in the cup, /cuckquean/ has nuked two different iterations of /v/ with a 3 goal lead.

>>4914 Oh hey, you're back. Hopefully you've got a well deserved break after that huge load of work with the previous cup. If you're planning to reduce your role on a tentative new cup, overhauling the tutorials in the Infinity Wiki would help to introduce anons to volunteer and help you out, or at the very least point them to the pages that are already within the wiki. IIRC the modeling pages were the most sparse in spite of demanding a tremendous amount of effort on the 1~2 blenderfags. If anything, someone should spend some time in writing those tutorials so that anyone interested can be told to do it himself. It's more than clear that workload isn't humane for a single person in such a short stretch of time, so I'd advise to help prevent it form occuring again. On those questions at the end of your post: >stay on PES17 for the next cup, and indefinitely until we have the manpower to upgrade I'm not seeing the leap either. I don't mind PES17 for another cup. What's more, I rather PES17 over PES18 in the graphical department. Besides, there's a lot more work to do than say just porting models over, right? Let's call it off indefinitely. >don't be in a hurry to reach a dumb deadline like this winter I wouldn't like it this Winter either, though I wouldn't rather if we had to wait one entire year for the next cup. How about somewhere in May? It's not the long wait for August yet it's not as early as say, January or February. It might also give some leeway for anyone interested to make a sizeable contribution to the cup over say, two months from now. >cull teams, harshly I wasn't exactly thinking of culling them, but if it does help everyone involved I'll have it. In any case, whether it's reducing or maintaining the amount of teams on the cup, there were some serious issues regarding the last competition's roster of teams. For once it's true than, other than for the first few streams, there were more teams than there were viewers. On the ICUP7 teams themselves, one thing that's stood out to me is that, out of all 32 teams and 33 boards represented, 12 (11 if we're excluding /fascist/) of them were anon.cafe boards, that's more than a third of all teams. Rather conspicuous when we're talking about a site that beraly attracts numbers even in contrast to other sites on the webring. Another issue I found with the roster were the regional teams, who (other than /ita/ having a dedicated stream) saw limited interest in anyone chipping in throughout the cup. Makes sense, since the scope of those teams is limited to the country they represent. If there was another cup and I actually tried to make an effort to draw in a large number of anons I'd both focus on boards on the biggest sites of the webring (I'd say smug, zzz, sportschan and plw) and seasoning the cup with the odd team here and there (/eris/ for example); and remove that first come first serve mentality that plagued most of the reasoning in choosing teams. There were plenty of bizarre decisions made by the riggers on the previous cup that I doubt made sense to anyone that was watching it. It's hard to believe that no one could renew /librejp/ (that's a sizeable, distinct regional population of the webring) because /fscchan/ (literal-who board that's not even from the webring whose only commitment to this cup was writing "ok ok" when asked if they wanted their team renewed) had to get it; that /lego/ (that still has the best team in all of the cup) couldn't come back because the board is dead yet /islam/, /film/ or /sw/ made the cut; or that /bane/ (baneposting was a staple on 8ch and would have been a popular team in ICUP7 in spite of the board having reallocated to tvch and thus becoming shit) couldn't bring in friends and yet /egy/ could get in; etc. I'm doubtful you could justify all of these decisions and yet stil claim you wanted big numbers on the stream with a straight face. In between 32 and 16, if you're going ahead with trimming teams, try to go for 24, kind of like ICUP5, and place in teams in friendlies for those who throw a shitfit when the team they had submitted for a board that only one person uses wasn't chosen to be competing (in case preparing the friendlies isn't too demanding). I believe this answers most of the points raised in your post. shouldn't you be posting this on the ICUP8 bread? move these posts there or something

Not available to help with much besides our own team and maybe explaining some beyond-basic-necessities management to interested newcoming managers, but we were screwed and want revenge, we'll be here next time. Whenever that is. Not in our nature to rush things. Agreed on your 3 points there, only thing I want to know is if you have any preference on how to present the changes and organize the team's "database" so it's easier to manage for you. I want to avoid all confusions and I understand it's not easy. So, our thread here or at home, or maybe by e-mail? Gradually, or maybe everything but models in a single .zip? Is just changing the wiki for you to check there an option? Is there anyone still helping with models and other aesthetics? Those kinda things. Next time I might try some changes, if we're gonna lose it should be my fault. Also, hi. Anime lesbians pic pending 'cause I'm at work.

>>4914 Thank you for hosting it. I know the cup ended up being a huge mess but it's appreciated that you took the lead and also because Eris demanded it :^) >>4916 The modelling pages on the wiki would require someone to dump the entire process from the 4cc wiki into those, so if anyone's willing to do it then that's fine. >there's a lot more work to do than say just porting models over, right? The only process that someone not familiar with Blender like me wouldn't have problems with is porting PES17 heads. Creating heads in PES18+ now requires to cover around the neck and I won't even mention FBM because that's just way above my level. As for the schedule, only Grass Stains can say when is the next one happening but I do agree with you that a full year is not a good waiting time. Someone else (I think /yuri/'s manager) said that it'd be great to have two events per year to keep the hype going, although that's more easier said than done. >cafe getting more boards That's partially because of how some boards have migrated here (/sw/, /retro/) and the others have appeared in previous events (ICUP6 and GCUP). >Rather conspicuous when we're talking about a site that beraly attracts numbers even in contrast to other sites on the webring Not really a conspiracy theory and also the webring as a whole has changed a lot but this is not the place to discuss this. >regional teams The regional teams were a consequence of both the GCUP happening (which SKF made because of the Autist spamming a lot of outside boards with fake invites) and the previous BO expressing interest in opening up the event, with the only exceptions being /ita/, /argentina/ and /librejp/. >biggest sites on the webring In terms of boards participating in the cup out of all of the ones on the site only Smug fits and PLW is mostly active because of /animu/ >remove the first come first serve

>>4897 read >>4850 btw you read like a faggot

We have a thread for this >>3 I've talked with the /eris/ guy about this and seems to be more of an issue with SKF being MIA for the last year or so. Sent an e-mail his way to see if he could transfer it to any of the other guys working on it (either Cflap or Icupanon) and this is why we need more wiki volunteers too

>>4757 >>4758 I think adding /monarchy/ to the Infinity Cup has been one of the best decisions after the /lego/ wondermatches.

>>4641 The implication that I have ever paid for art is insulting tbqh. Also the name is still commiecat and it still must have massive tits.

>>4642 Because young adults, by and large, are naïve, gullible and idealistic, and vulnerable to influence and molding. Unfortunately, the LGBTQ cult has been very good at PR, propaganda and indoctrination, particularly in the public and university school systems. Combined with the world's natural hatred of Christ, the results are sadly not surprising. Christian parents will send their impressionable children to a public school to be catechized in secularism for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 years or so, and then further catechized at a typical woke college for 4 more years or so, and are then are shocked when their kids depart from the faith. In short, Christian parents need to stop delivering their offspring to the Devil on a silver platter and need to engage in homeschooling and other alternatives. Also, notice how all of those terms: > Judgmental, Bigoted, Homophobic, Elitist, and Hypocritical Are the world's natural response when confronted with Christ: Judgmental: "How do you point out my sin and faults and the need for a Savior?!?!?"

>>4646 Tbqh most alphabet soup people issues will be "taken care of" as society deindustrializes. For example, there is no realistic way that society maintains a culture of bugchasing propped up by drugs like PReP when there is no PReP because no one can manufacture PReP because no one has industry. Either the bugchasers reform themselves or they die. Many other issues will play out in the same manner.

>>4539 Thanks, having updated wiki pages is a great help.
