Now that /pol/ has officially reached it's peak ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLRbW6NRbfI ) , I was wondering, what's the greatest achievement in the history of /v/ ?
What was the biggest golden moment this board has experienced?
Undertale votes
>>320208842
> reached it's peak
>it's
>>320208842
EA's golden turd awards?
For me, it might be Buckley edits.
Bub and Bob maybe?
Or that Tribes match.
>yfw meme magic is real
Shitpost straight into my mouth
>>320208842
that time we made phil fish cry was pretty sweet
>>320208842
Well there's not many golden moments but there are shining moments and some fun that I'd enjoyed. I really liked playing /v/irgin quest back in I think 2012. Because it captured the state of the board at the time, had fun with itself, and the areas were really rad. I also remember the stop bullying comics. Man, those were a hoot.
Shazbowl
Winning EA the Golden Poo twice in a row
>>320208842
As an /x/phile, i have been studying /pol/ for some time.
They seemed to be the first board to master meme magic.
The first board to utilize it was /tv/ when it bane posted a plane down. This was pure accident.
The first foray however into organized meme magic was Ebola chan.
Everyday since then, the memes have become more and more real. Not only did this happen, but c,uckservative was said live on CNN.
Zimmerman became a pompous unapologetic asshole/badass, much like /pol/'s description of him.
Even Ben Garrison reluctantly embraced his fame, and started drawing pepe's.
I still wasnt certain about the power a chinese cartoon image board wielded until one day at work.
The same day the mizzou protests were in full swing, i met an indian woman named Alapoop.
/pol/ wields dark and powerful magic.
>>320209828
>that time
Which one?
The first /v/ musical was a truely magic moment.
>>320211637
3 > 1 > 2 in my opinion
1 had the spark of something fresh and new, but it wasn't developed enough and it was too limited by trying to stay pure Disney songs
>>320211763
3 hasn't gotten a lot of exposure compared to the first two, which is a shame because it has some really great songs.
I mostly blame the amount of content and the lazy videofags though.
The EA golden poos were pretty great.
Reminder that /v/ has never banded together to make a videogame.
Many other boards can be credited with such, but not /v/.
Closest there ever will be was the Broquest shit, and that was ruined forever by over ambition and /v/ chasing off anyone actually involved or willing to get involved.
Not a visual novel, or text adventure, or RPG maker creation. Nothing can be credited as a videogame created by "members from 4chans /v/".
>>320212221
>Many other boards can be credited with such, but not /v/.
Have a lot of other boards made video games?
>>320212221
Wasn't risk of rain created by some anon from /agdg/? Not banded together, but it is a damn good game.
>>320212221
Didn't /v/ personally help Notch (who browsed here) with Minecraft before he ran with the popularity?
>>320208925
Undertale beating Zelda is because of Donald Trump. We said he'd make memes real, and it's already happening.
>>320212267
Katawa Shoujo is probably the most famous example, and /a/ gets the credit there. I've seen a lot of porn boards make RPG maker and text adventure shit in the past.
That's all off the top of my head.
/v/ made Gamergate., the ultimate liberal boogeyman.
>>320212221
/v/irgin quest
Get fucked faggot. It doesn't matter how shit you think it is
>>320212614
So one board
>>320212221
Always great to see newfags that don't remember and didn't participate in /v/irginquest.
>>320212221
/vg/station branch of Space Station 13 is the successor to /v/station
>>320211992
>lazy videofags though
elaborate?
what happened
You guys will deny this to your dying breaths.
But Gamergate is one of /v/'s biggest impacts on the world.
>>320212614
We made Vivian James but no-one likes to talk about that chapter anymore. Technically we only have joint custody of her now because her parents kept fighting among themselves.
>>320212445
Notch came here during the early days of Minecraft yeah, but at best you can credit /v/ with come constructive criticism and bug reporting, before Notch got chased off forever by asshats because
>/v/
Hardly something you can call a /v/ or /v/irgin specific effort
>>320211125
Get back in your pen.
>>320210883
I was thinking this. It wasn't the biggest impact we've had but I still feel it may be our finest hour yet.
>>320212619
Most fun time I remember was when ME3 came out, the threads fucking with EA customer support etc. had me in stitches.
>>320211763
I wasn't too hot on 3 at first, but the more I listen the harder it is for me to say one album is better than the other.
>>320212221
/v/irgin quest was a thing. Although it was more like one person working on it and then a bunch of people all throwing suggestions at once. But I think /v/ is just too fast for anything to really get done unless it's a person already doing something asking for suggestions.
The other chan was working on Anton & Coolpecker as a 3D platformer but after a while that went off the radar and probably isn't going to be finished. They were halfway done with a sequel to 7th Stand User that takes place in part 4, but no one has heard about that either. Even though that board is so much slower it's just hard to get people motivated once people have to actually do something other than throw out suggestions and draw pictures.
>>320212669
There's a LOT of porn board made porn games out there, more effort put into a lot of them than some of the shit you can buy on Steam so you can't discount them.
>>320208842

More like /v/ wants to be pretend it never happened and cripplechan was DOA Vivian is an orphan.
>>320212998
As funny as TORtanic was, /v/ had nothing to do with that trash failing.
>>320212221
/v/ literally can't make decent OC anymore because everyone just gets chased out for being reddit
Shazbowl and EA winning the Golden Poo awards. But then SJWs kinda hijacked the title of the greatest evil, and they're not even that interesting.

>>320212786
and a lot of the credit for that can also go to /pol/. Those fuckers are magical.
>>320212669
/d/ has been directly involved in a ton of text games.
>Can't stump the Trump
What did he mean by this?
>>320213329
I still don't know how they managed to make a thing of kekservative.
I mean, shit. How the hell did that catch on?
>>320212998
Tortanic was the death of /v/
Funny at the time, but the only thing that has peaked as a result of it, is shitposting
>>320213209
No one wants to make OC because it'll be ruined in less than a day. Before shit could at least last a couple months before hitting reddit/facebook. There are so many faggots trying to get facebook followers by posting epic maymays shit will be posted there within minutes.
>>320213446
Pretty accurate. Having a discussion about any new game is near impossible because people want a repeat of TORtanic and think if they shitpost and complain enough it will happen.
>>320213045
Well didn't that happen with the last musical aswell? The problem is that even though they necromancer the thread for a week past release its practically dead no one gives feedback and the hype and motivation is dead. Its best to start earlier but even then its still gonna be near the end because you have to wait for the music to finish. Not to mention that a good singer can fart out a few songs in an hour where as a good videobro might take 2 days if he works fast for one video. Also they just need more video editors to begin with.
Though I'm sure quite a few of them are just lazy and or perfectionist assholes. Its a meme musical the videos don't need to take months to make.
What about the /v/ vs Reddit thing?
I can't remember what game it was but /v/ ended up winning even though most of the guys were playing on potatoes.
>>320208842
Tribes Ascend vs Reddit.

>>320213530
>>320213446
Really sick of this meme. People were shitposting about games (especially MMOs) on /v/ before le ebin tortanic, and it's become a massive scapegoat for anyone who complains about any given hyped up game ever on modern /v/
>>320213416
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0fzldPsgvo
>>320213710
I'm sure a person such as yourself who calls everything a "meme" is definitely a good judge on what did or didn't kill /v/
>>320211495
We are literally the only two left who remember this.

TORtanic was like Zimmerman Trial for /pol/. Every time a new game/happening comes along retards on both boards want to start it all up all over again.
It's like when people came to /b/ after Habbo Hotel raids.
>>320213416
>>320213416
Because conservatives love back biting and flaunting political purity more than they hate liberals.

Well /v/ has played against reddit in more than just tribes, it's just that tribes is the most famous.
>>320211495
>>320214027
Good times.
I liked it more than the sidekick one to be honest.
>>320208842
So does /pol/ actually think Trump would make a good president or is this ironic IRL shitposting?
I can't figure it out. Do any republikeks besides the absolutely insane ones think he'd do a good job? All of the dude's plans are logistically impossible. All that'd end up happening is he'd just drive the moderates to the Democrat side with his insane ramblings.
>>320214027/b/ was still my home board at that point.
>>320212619
It's practically the SJW equivalent of Godwin's Law.
>>320212793
This is a mark of shame only newfags think is a crowning moment.
>>320213446
This, sadly
>>320213129
I still visit cripplechan when 4chan's servers are down, but it's much slower.
On paper it's a nice concept-- let people make their own boards, and let the board creators choose how they want to moderate them beyond the global rules. In practice though, it leaves global moderators stretched thin, and board owners often times do a shit job of enforcing the rules themselves, which is especially bad if something illegal gets posted. It's like trying to be a not-shitty version of Reddit but without the administrative staff to make it work-- and if they had that many admins, it would end up being corrupted with agenda pushers just like Reddit.
The biggest problem though is just plain not enough users. There are like hundreds of boards which have only 1 or 2 active users, if that.
>>320214278
>So does /pol/ actually think Trump would make a good president
Can't be worse than Barack "Nigger" Obama, Bernie "The Kek" Sanders, and Hilary "Feminazi" Clinton.
>>320212619
>v/ made Gamergate., the ultimate liberal boogeyman.
And in response to SJW, the ultimate conservative boogeyman. It's like pottery.
>>320214278
This website thought Ron Paul was electable. A 4chan endorsement is a kiss of death irl.
>>320214278
/pol/ is always trolling.
ALWAYS. Once you understand/believe that, the board becomes much more fun.
With regards to Trump, I think they just like his overbearing and exuberant attitude. Compared to many candidates as of late, he feels passionate and they enjoy it.
Also, he's still a better choice than anyone else running as far as they're concerned.
>>320214413
Except SJWs are very real.
>>320214278
>All of the dude's plans are logistically impossible
What about them are impossible?
>>320214460
Ron Paul was a slave to the media because he didn't know how to play them like fiddles.
>>320214460
Not this time.

>>320214483
People who believe that we're governed by lizard people are also real. The difference is we decided to laugh at them and ignore them instead of giving them a platform.
>>320214278
From my experience with family members who want to vote for him, they don't actually LISTEN to any of his policies. My whole family assumes he'd be the perfect president because he's a businessman and he's stubborn/doesn't take shit from anyone. They don't actually watch him speak or listen to his plans.
Personally, I think Trump is intentionally trying to see how stupid he can get up on the podium in order to sabotage himself, because maybe he thought about it some more and decided he didn't want the presidency taking up all his time. It's the only way that it makes sense to me for someone, especially someone who managed to make as much money as he has, to be THAT stupid.
>>320214396
But it is. His plans to build a wall on the border is logistically impossible. He either A) Knows that, and is straight faced lying to get votes or B) Is actually dumb enough to think he could strong arm the government into approving that.
I know A already happens but he takes it to a whole new level.
>>320214467
I can't speak for other people for certain, but to me it feels like it's just everyone giving up and enjoying themselves while they watch Rome burn.
>>320214631
Ignoring a problem only allows it to entrench itself deeper within power structures.
Never in the history of humankind has any problem ever been solved by ignoring it.
>>320214745
fuck you, asshole. My dad is ignoring his cancer and he's feeling better than ever. Get fucked.
>>320214646
>Logistically impossible
Not really. It's cheaper to build a wall than it is to keep them here.
>>320214278
>So does /pol/ actually think Trump would make a good president or is this ironic IRL shitposting?
It's not about being a good president, it's about completing the ultimate meme ritual and bringing forth the memesiah
>>320213446
TORtanic ruined us because ever since then, everything is expected to be the next TORtanic. We can't actually discuss games anymore, because it's all about finding the next big flop. People had so much fun mocking that game's failure that they completely lost their taste for actual vidya discussion, and this place became a shithole for discussing industry drama instead. They had to make /vg/ (and /vr/, which is kind of dead now) just so people could have actual unironic discussions about games, with /v/ being the containment board where people spout memes, dump images and shitpost about the industry.
/v/ is such an active board that it was always just held together by paperclips and string, but TORtanic was ultimately too much for us. Ironically, TOR ended up being the iceberg, and /v/ is the boat that ran into it with the expectation of watching the iceberg sink.
>>320214634
You can stop your shitty theorycrafting and actually read Trump's book, Art of the Deal, instead.
He spells out his strategy plainly and is applying it to the campaign. It's a winning business and political method.
If Trump actually got elected, how fucked would America be?
>>320208842
Why are neocons such memers?
>use fallacies to argue

>>320214745
If we ignored SJWs, they wouldn't BE a problem.
SJWs are only a problem because businesses and organizations attempt to cater to them because they're very vocal and will not hesitate to cause bad PR for those businesses, or so they think. In reality, the word of SJWs matters little.
If businesses ignored SJWs (thereby no longer pandering to them) there would be no more problem. SJWs would just be another group of crazy ramblers like the mole-people theorists.
The entire problem IS the fact that people pay attention to them.
>>320214531
>Build a wall on the border. The cost to do that is physically impossible, not to mention they'd need military personnel stationed around it the entire time while it's being built
> Deport every illegal immigrant
Once again, the cost, manpower, and military involvement would be astronomical. Both of these plans wouldn't even be finished during his term
>Put a ban on Muslim immigration
Islam is a world wide religion, it's practitioners don't all look the same and there's nothing to stop one from just lying about it to get into the country.
>>320214396
Berniefags are insane. As horrible as she is I'd honestly rather have Hilary than Bernie.
>>320212919
>Rosenberg
/pol/ is always right
>>320214634
Well his plan isn't THAT stupid.
Imagine a line representing the people who vote. You have the left and right wing lined up along it. As a politician, you pick a spot on the line and tell people that's where you are; your opponent does the same. If you are the closest candidate to a person, they vote for you.
If you want to appeal to the MOST people, you always aim for the middle. So during these prelims, you aim for the middle of the republican line. Later, during the actual election, you aim for the middle of the whole electorate.
So right now, Trump is aiming for that middle line of the republican party.
>>320214921
And the hilarious thing is the game didn't fail, is still going, and is still sucessful
So /v/ died for nothing.
sad desu
>>320214984
Super fucked.
America will be forced to be efficient and actually make money instead of bleeding everywhere.
Literally end of the world scenario.
>tfw Trump is going to be president and there is nothing these buttmad vanilla liberals can do about it
>>320214646
We already have a law that says we are supposed to build a wall. Trump just wants to enforce it. He doesn't even need to work with congress to do half the things he wants, because Congress has already passed laws for most of them. The problem is that we have a president who sits on his hands whenever he's supposed to do something that goes against his ideology, therefore only enforces laws when he likes them, especially if he can twist them into something that supports his agenda.
>>320214745
Wait, do they really think that banning gamergate meant we disagreed with it on the fundamental level? Chanology 2.0 was a terrible idea but I hope all the writers for Gawker, Polygon, RPS, etc get cancer.
>>320215080
Trump supporters know nothing about politics or government m8, 90% of them support trump solely because "lel he makes spics mad u mad bro? pepe.jpg" and because being a neocon is the same status as being a liberal was in the 2000's, so it attracts a ton of retarded teens who bring the overall intelligence of the group down.
>>320215062
You ignored everything I said and committed to your failed strategy.
Also thank you for acknowledging SJWs are real and proving me right.
>>320214984
He would make America great again.
Serious question. Will pol be in flames if trump loses or will they retroactively distance themselves from him?
>>320215124
"Ban all muslims from entering the country" doesn't seem very middle line to me, even by republican standards.
>>320214278
Republicans can't run for president anymore. After Bush DESTROYED the republican party by putting up one of the most panned and hated presidencies in recent times, republicans have had no idea how to run and the past 2 elections (and now this one) have solely been appealing to the craziest most extremist base of theirs, that they don't even have to pander to because they'd never vote anything but republican anyways. It'd be like if democrats tried to do nothing but pander to the extreme SJWs. Of course you're going to lose elections when your entire podium is ultra polarizing ideas like "ban all porn" and "deport all immigrants" and "We need to go to war with Islam"
>>320208842
Trump is literally everything wrong with Americans, yet you people suck his cock constantly. Why the double standard when the average American /v/irgin with his opinions gets laughed at?
>>320215293
I fail to see how acknowledging that SJWs are real proves you right.
>>320215339
The US has banned all sorts of groups from immigrating into the country many times before.
It is not a new concept, nor is it unconstitutional (aliens are not citizens and do not have constitutional rights).
>>320215339
Well there's another factor at play here and that's the fact that there are multiple candidates right now.
(I think, I'm goddamn Australian)
If they all have relatively similar policies while Trump appeals to everyone else then Trump will still win just because everyone else splits the vote. Trump may moderate his stance later once the crowd thins out a little.
>>320215339
Yet his poll numbers keep rising.
Shocking, I know.

Not permanently, just until the situation with ISIS is figured out. Or would you rather more people like those in San Bernardino or the ones who attacked Paris get in to the country?
>>320215668
Because I didn't act like a neocon /pol/tard which seems to be the expected norm here in this circlejerk of a site.
>>320215715
Israel is much smaller than the U.S.
There were fewer people in the U.S. at that time.
Even after ISIS gets sorted out, those people are still crazy and have a toxic culture anyway, so I'd actually be in favor of keeping out people from middle eastern shitholes if that were viable, which it is not.
>>320215715
Actually trump wants to deport "anchor babies" as well, who are here legally, so technically Trump wants to change the law to deport legal immigrants
That is a scary slippery slope. Also declaring basically war on islam is a good way to be a non-existant country in 20 years

>>320215715
How would you even manage to keep muslims out?
Couldn't an ISIS member just reply "no" when asked if they're muslim at the border?
Is Trump just going to ban all people with a middle-eastern accent? All people with dark skin?
What kind of test could Trump possibly come up with that could not be easily circumvented by a determined terrorist? Even if all middle-easterners were banned, there are plenty of Caucasian terrorists to fill the roles.

Currently Ted Cruz is Trump's closest rival, and they have similar stances on many issues. Cruz is a bit set apart because he's the only one who hasn't attacked Trump. Trump recently made an incendiary remark about Cruz, and honestly I think he is testing the water. He got some backlash from some conservatives (including the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, who have otherwise consistently defended Trump on their radio shows), and Cruz did not fire back.
I think Trump will moderate his rhetoric towards Cruz more carefully going forward. There was a genuine expectation that if Trump got the nomination that Cruz would be on his shortlist, which would please many people who are skeptical of Trump's conservative credentials. He stands to lose a lot of base brownie points if he attacks Cruz too hard.

No, because your opinion is based off ignorance and tribalism.
The democrats did not win in 2012 by a landslide. They won by a meager few %. The notion that the democrats are invincible is the #1 weakness of the DNC.
Do you even realize how many state legislature, house and senate seats the democrats have lost under the Obama administration?

There are muslims working in the secret service, the fbi, cia, SWAT, All police forces, military bases etc. Hell there's probably a Muslim who is on standby duty to launch fucking nukes.
