evidently getting involved with the 4cc means you become a magical girl
>>128638363
If you've already been a manager you don't need to do anything other than put your name onto the team's wiki page unless you're trying to revive a dead team.
>>128638471
This is %100 true, now put your signature on the verification page.

Shit like this is why we should just stay on PES15 instead of trying to force PES16 down everyones throats.

If they hadn't gone with PES16 people would be screaming bloody murder as well.
Today there was a guy on the bus who watched that skeleton anime on his phone (not Inferno Coppu, the other one that was mentioned in one of these threads, this one)
I wanted say
>hey /a/utist, HYP for winter y/y
but I was too shy.
There are 2 options with the Unfriendlies. I either drop the whole second friday and make 4 matches with something. Or leave it and make 11 matches. It probably will be the first option, because we don't have exports for every team so I can't just throw to teams together.
Either way there will be options to suggest >fun matches.
>>128645284
Set up a /4ccg/ vs /ml- oh

Allow /mlp/ in and give them extra matches to make up for your childish behavior.

Something that has been a feature since PES14 so crying about it in a way that makes it seem that that heap of trash didn't have it is really stupid.
>>128646369
People would've blamed horsefuckers for rigging it, because they were one of the teams that dominated in PES15.
In PES16, everyone is now equally good, or shit, whichever way you want to look at it. It probably would've been a better idea to stick with PES15 for Winter, and use Spring as an experimental cup to try and fix the myriad of issues in PES16.
>>128646546
It is especially apparent/powerful in PES16, though. In older versions, in the majority of games it seemed to be a minor edge to a team that was already doing well, and it could easily be lost/reset. In PES16, momentum seems to be the deciding factor, and it results in complete RNG wins based on which team manages to gain momentum first. Formations, tactics, conditions, they don't matter at all. You're basically just praying your team gains momentum first and doesn't lose it.
If we manage to disable or lessen the effects of momentum and fix up the retardedness of non-medals, PES16 would be a great game.
>>128645626
>>128645871
>>128646010
Here's the rundown how it all went to be.
I made some epic hot post for shits and giggles, mostly aware that I'll probably would be too drunk to even remember I said /mlp/ wont be allowed. I actually didn't even expect people to care about it much, because it was at the end of some longer post with quite a few other infos.
Then later I was in IRC where Boris tells me I have to allow /mlp/ or I can't use the official stream and that people complained to him. For one thing I intended to use the unofficial twitch anyway, so the threat I got 'blackmailed' with was nothing to me anyway. It was actually the opposite, since it was public, there was no way I could agree to it. I couldn't bow down to /merit/ abusing their power and everyone knew that like 1 minute in. People could have send me a private message wether or not I was memeing, but nobody didn't. The reason I started doing friendlies is so that I could do whatever I want and so that I see /jp/ play more than once every 6 months.
tl;dr: ponyfuckers brought this upon themself
>>128647109
>complete RNG wins based on which team manages to gain momentum first. Formations, tactics, conditions, they don't matter at all. You're basically just praying
Just like PES14 then. That means it's okay to use.
>finally get work time for spess refs
>provided files are poser and not blender/obj files
mesh data is in plaintext in poser files but writing a new converter is too time consuming for something I need pronto
so I decided to roll my own since I'd probably have to do a bunch of tweaking anyway
>probably gonna need sleep before I can finish refs
hey /tg/
do you think this collar would work with your kits?
>>128647314
It was rather Boris being a quickshot. We saw the comment, most of us didn't take it too seriously, but went 'if he is actually serious, isn't that something we should be against?' and then we discussed that for a few minutes, leaning towards 'friendlies should be for everyone', as they are a nice way for teams with little cup experience to get a foot in. This obviously doesn't apply to /mlp/, but before the discussion got that far Boris jumped in. He decided to carry that argument that you the IRC for reasons that are beyond me. The rest was someone else getting hotheaded about it (Ved, I think?).
There you go.Should have always called them unfriendlies desu.
>>128647314
Instead of making a fanless circlejerk cup and getting your fee fees hurt, maybe git gud so you can watch /jp/ out of groups.
>>128647667
Well judging by this failure of /jp/blenderguy and him needing me to do the cpk for blenders, I need to take away his lolis until he gits gud.
He is partly excused though, I mean he has autism.
Also get skype or support my patreon.
But /tg/ already had D20 RNGesus refs for Summer. Winter is meant to be /mlp/ refs...
When is the draw?
>>128647314
In the /mlp/ manager Skype, we talked about it and decided to just keep quiet, as we realized making a fuss would turn into drama that would benefit no one. We were already planning to do a couple of invitationals and events of our own, so that would make up for the loss.
I don't know where the whole blackmail thing came from, but it wasn't something demanded or orchestrated by us. I hope we're allowed to do friendlies in the future again as it's a good opportunity to do fun things (like the = team).
>>128647314
tl;dr salt like you wouldn't believe. ^:)
>>128648042
As always it was Ved, bent and Tony being sissy bitch niggas

Reminder after the incident Ved was going around saying what was and wasn't official.
He really got butthurt for the lack of colored horses.
>>128648524
Ved is terrible at public relations and should keep his hothead out of them entirely.
>>128648524
To be fair, he said that once, in response to a thread on /mlp/ calling some invitational official. The rest was just us taking a piss.
>>128647929
Don't be too hard on him
I've got the body parts I need from some of the files, but the extra bits are in files that are meant for Poser
still need to finish cleaning up the mesh and format them for PES
>>128648102
Oh you should have seen the VGL skype group when I was furiously mad about all that music I needed to download. I was so pissed because it took hours and people kept nagging me with shit. It's the reason why I'll throw Nomo into the Unfriendlies group so he can see how I keep the workload away from my streamers.
>>128647806
I think Boris was just tired and was like "get this done in 5 minutes lyl", like he barely cared.
We gonna see /mlp/ in like 5-7 matches anyway in winter, thank to the power of rigging. So it shouldn't be much of a loss for /mlp/ and we got mad bantz out of this. I have no clue what some people have in the works for me, I asked several people for stuff.
I also expect to see people fuck stuff up over the next 3 days. Maybe by wednesday, everything will be fixed.
>>128647806
>leaning towards 'friendlies should be for everyone'
But nobody wants to be friends with /mlp/, so it makes perfect sense for /mlp/ to be excluded from the friendlies.
>>128638550
what about my wish? Don't I get one for becoming a manager?
>>128649452
This makes sense
>>128649452
but this is the unfriendlies...we should totally be in this shit.
>the higher-ups rigged /myteam/ out of friendlies because of a meme on the shitposting general
fuck my shit up
>>128649685
So should I rename it back to Friendlies and starting with Unfriendlies that /mlp/ is allowed?
>>128638014
You know, that Madoka description works so well it's not even funny. Shame you don't become a cute girl as well.
>>128649860
we're all cute girls here
>>128649860
You can avatarfag as a little girl and everyone would visualize you as that in their thoughts. They might also think you are just a fat neckbeard but the little girl image is much more appealing and will override that when thinking about you.
>>128649108
>I think Boris was just tired and was like "get this done in 5 minutes lyl", like he barely cared.
Yeah, but there was no reason to actually reach a decision, hence I found it weird and uncalled for to go all out on this one. Oh well.
I also don't really care about /mlp/ having friendlies or not (because they are the last team that needs a publicity boost), and I do agree that the streamer needs as much freedom as possible.
However, I personally think that in the future it would be nice to allow teams that wish to get into an actual cup to participate (like /aco/ and whatnot). While we don't want to add more teams to the already bloated Mega Babby, we should find ways to filter teams that are more reliable than gut decisions and >polls. With them actually playing it's easier to gauge how much the viewers and their management actually care. It would be still vague, but better than what we currently have for those newcomers/comebacks.
It also allows teams that did not manage to qualify for a Babby for whatever reason to at least play on the official stream a few times per year.
This all builds up to a process I would personally like to see in which we give Babby spots away based on a mixture of past performance, activity in invitationals, popular vote, aesthetics, and whatnot. It would put more power in the hands of the boards who want to get a foot (back) into the cup and force teams that are semi-dead but still hang around for traditional reasons to compete on more than a simple play-off level twice per year.
Just some thoughts I am toying with.
>>128649846
Just keep the name Unfriendlies. I feel it's so much more in the spirit of 4chan in general.

I agree with this. One of the things that pissed me off with /lgbt/ was that I said that the manager they got will only sign them up and I was right. They ended up playing completely uninspired matches. A multitude of people spoke out about this issue already. But on the other side it's really hard to judge what amount of participation is enough.
Some small boards have percentage wise more people interested in the cup that for examle /a/ or /sp/. 200 on /a/ isn't much.
I also didn't reallysay that /aco/ couldn't make a team and challenge someone. But nobody contacted me, so that never happened. Some boards are of course completely dead or useless, like /r/. Look at the board, it's absolutely dead, just a sea of new threads with every reply being a bump.

Never wanted to imply that. As far as I know, not even /trash/ or /qa/ tried anything other than whining about wanting to be in the cup. But, you know, in case a legit team shows up.

I feel the biggest problem with /merit/ is that unless you're friends with somebody in /merit/, you will never hear about what they're currently planning/working on or how they came to a certain conclusion. Usually, they announce a decision, but only bother to explain their rationale behind it if enough people get upset, sometimes not at all.
While that's a bit shabby the worse part is when dick-fellaters actually then try to defend decisions by guessing at what the rationale behind it could be, and putting /merit/ on some "people who actually do stuff" pedestal. The absolute worst part of this comes when /merit/ is then okay with these occurrences.
At some point it became okay and widely accepted that only very few members of the committee making the decision actually look at the 4chan thread, with the excuse being that it's "too fast" or has too much worthless shitposting despite consisting of many page 9 bumps. It's also fairly easy to find posts with notable content in them: They usually get a lot of replies, include a picture, are long, or even all three of these factors.
That's just one example; while having discussion is good, arguing with derogatory high-horsed faggots who just want to defend their perfect "useful vs. useless" view of cup people gets old.

>>128658389
Many of the 'decisions' made are so basic that there really isn't much to discuss, like dates or technical wiki stuff. Other things are just as arbitrary within /merit/, like in what format exactly Tony wants the exports or rulechanges Boris wants to try.
Then again, there are things that should be discussed way more in the open (as in the thread), like the move to PES16. However, some attempts to do that in the past were so unproductive and driven by the input of only a few people; people that now either are in /merit/ or are talked to through other channels. Still not a good reason to move it entirely behind closed doors, but it just proved to be more efficient.
Finally, most of the people complaining are too lazy until it's too late. It's not like anyone seriously tested PES16 before the move was announced. Blind trust in /merit/ having done all the necessary testing? Come on, nobody trusts /merit/ enough to do that in the first place, and even if you are /merit/ defense force you would have to agree that 2-3 people within /merit/ that have proper manager experience are not enough to find the flaws over a dozen people can find.
There is also this crazy idea that supposedly it's some people's 'job' to do certain things. It isn't. It just happens that these people do the work they feel that is necessary to do. If you don't like how they do it or how much they do, do it yourself and let the result speak for itself instead of just whining about it. This is the attitude that got most people into /merit/ in the first place, so if for some silly reason this is your goal, then that's the best place to start.
>>128659772
it's fun, but its fatal flaw is that it's annoying until you are about 25 episodes in. That's too much nonsense build-up with a main character that you just want to kill during that time. If you somehow got past that point, it gets pretty good, and whatever tumblr sees in that show just isn't there. The lesbian thing is mostly a meme, too. There are no values that get forced down your throat other than 'be fucking responsible'.

>If you don't like how they do it or how much they do, do it yourself and let the result speak for itself instead of just whining about it. This is the attitude that got most people into /merit/ in the first place, so if for some silly reason this is your goal, then that's the best place to start.
And yet our dear friend, the shitposting marsupial, is still banned and very much not in /merit/.

Yes, and they bitch if you tell them to go to /aco/.
>>128660594

>>128661047

>>128660594
>TL;DR apologist bullshit
>Other things are just as arbitrary within /merit/, like in what format exactly Tony wants the exports or rulechanges Boris wants to try.
There's lots to discuss about these things.
>like the move to PES16. However, some attempts to do that in the past were so unproductive and driven by the input of only a few people
This is wrong. /merit/ never attempted to talk about PES16 in the thread.
>Finally, most of the people complaining are too lazy until it's too late. It's not like anyone seriously tested PES16 before the move was announced.
That has happened. A lot of people have tested PES16. Think of the outlel b.owl, which, while it was a meme cup, still showed that there definitely are problems.
The thread also contained many images of people posting scoreboards and WebMs of PES16 way before the move was announced. You're talking out of your rear.
>There is also this crazy idea that supposedly it's some people's 'job' to do certain things. It isn't.
If you're the one exclusively hogging a position and calling yourself /merit/, and you don't want to look like a fucking retard, it pretty much is your job. I mean, you can look like a twat and just be a useless shit while spouting your "holier-than-thou" nonsense, nobody'll stop you. It just makes you look like a twat.
>do it yourself and let the result speak for itself instead of just whining about it.
Literally what many people are doing at this very moment, only that /merit/ completely ignores every development in that direction.
>This is the attitude that got most people into /merit/ in the first place
No, being friends with the right people was.
>so if for some silly reason this is your goal, then that's the best place to start.
it isn't for most people. Many people wonder why there even should be a "/merit/". Why close it off like that? What's the point?
>>128661047
Yes, and if you tell them to fuck off to /aco/ you get banned. It's why many actual yuri aficionados either don't browse /u/ at all or simply browse a select few threads.

What's the fucking point about whining about western shit in /u/? Or any other board for that matter. They're fucking general threads, aren't they? You can filter them.
The only reason bent is in merit because he wrote a few pages about why the Swiss system is the best choice, pretty much parroting the nonsensical shit other people did and those people really liked that so they took him in and then Tony forced him to do grunt work for him otherwise it would be Goodbye! for him.

Makes the board faster for no reason, thus killing discussions of slower series, and requires you to update your filter list regularly, especially if the tards don't use a proper subject.
Plus, it attracts some strange people who think /u/ is /lgbt/.
>>128662050

There is your answer. DF has great input as well, but it's difficult to work with people who either turned the cup into their own personal playground at one point or hold shitposting/drama above all else. The last thing the cup organization needs is someone with access to the communication channels that just fuel their love for drama and shitposting which they continue to carry to the countless circlejerks they are in.
>>128661289
Some simply didn't want or had the time and cried about "announce the decision already!". Also, the game looked good at the first glance and the issues fixable. We also thought that since we made it clear we might move to PES16, worried people would start making sure we didn't make a terrible mistake. One of the requirements for the deadline was finding flaws in PES16 that were not fixable by rules or available patches. Nobody pointed any out until the deadline passed, probably because everyone trusted Konami more than they would like to admit or because they simply could not be assed to test.
>>128662003
Western Non-canon lesbian things get their threads on /u/ too because muh fanfics/fanart, so it's more than just two or three series.
Examples are Frozen, Homestuck, Kim Possible (wat?), and even MLP for a while.
>>128662216
Because yuri and the Japanese culture surrounding it is different from western lesbian works. Yuri is mostly non-explicit, and the main focus of a work, focusing a lot on relationships between characters. Western lesbian is usually either pandering to some crowd with a last-minute character twist or fanworks of explicit nature.
Anyway, this is pretty off-topic and in the end both sides have their reasons for their opinions; people who like western contents don't want to be mushed in with heterosexual content, and people who like Eastern content don't want to wade through western generals. It's a tough decision to make, and the issue also isn't as big as some people make it out to be.

Define what a fatal flaw is. You *think* you can fix >too many goals with rule changes and maybe a patch, but you haven't confirmed this yet. It could very well be that PES16 defending is fundamentally borked, and no rule change can fix it in a proper way. And people did test changing stats with varying results and posted about it in here.

>most of the people complaining are too lazy until it's too late. It's not like anyone seriously tested PES16 before the move was announced.
But half the point of the people complains is /merit/ forcing a new untested version of PES not matter what in the first place.
So when /merit/ goes around putting the blame on others for 'not testing', all i hear is pure hypocresy.
We aren't actually considering any format changes less than a month before the cup, right? Tests I've done on 16 look fine, maybe a bit more goals per game but that's not necessarily a bad thing from a viewers perspective.
>>128664747
merit isn't blaming anyone, people are blaming everyone and everything for PES16 because they feel they will have to play Spring.
>>128664813
sadly we are, it's honestly fucking retardedif anything good comes out of it that doesn't fuck everything up and this somehow comes before winter then I give precisely 0 fucks what happens to stats, it's still retarded imo that people actually want stat changes for the first fucking cup in a new game
>>128664813
>but that's not necessarily a bad thing from a viewers perspective.
Yes it is, because it devalues goals, and the way they are scored is usually through a defensive blunder which makes for less spicy goals.
>We aren't actually considering any format changes less than a month before the cup, right?
I don't know. Has /merit/ said anything about this? Because I haven't heard a single thing indicating format changes, or investigations into format changes from them.
>>128664813
>>128665321
Boris said he doesn't want to change shit.
>>128665321
>it devalues goals
You overestimate the average 4cc viewer. People want goalhorns. Ive seen some incredibly well-done tactical matches that end 1-0 or 1-1 and guess what? The chat gets flooded with muh ResidentSleeper.
>>128665554
>You overestimate the average 4cc viewer.
This.
You can just put random colors flashing in the screen and most of them won't tell the difference.
>>128663605
>Define what a fatal flaw is.
Something people claim that is fatal and nobody can prove to get rid off properly, pretty much. We could argue if PES16 in its current state has such a flaw and maybe our attempts at stats changes turn out to be just damage control. Or, it actually sorts itself out to familiar levels once everyone got settled into the game.
Personally, I think that some occasional spaghetti and PES flipping the tables on what you thought was a silver bullet is fine, even if it drives a manager insane. But at the point at which the viewer feels like it's just glorifying a coin flip even by 4chan standards and we have to question why we still have managing in the first place, then something really is broken.
>>128665321
Right now the plan is to close the gap between medals, as higher stats remove most of the retarded behavior. I would urge people to try 81/90/99 or perhaps even closer numbers. Another alternative would be just maxing Body Balance for everyone, as this might fix the collission spaghetti already. However, I personally don't want to change anything besides the all-XXs stats, because all the testing we can muster up even with half a dozen managers thrown into the mix does not substitute for an actual cup.
As for things that can't be fixed with such simple changes, those will have to wait until Spring. We don't want to push the hard reset button a month after the decision to move to PES16, and just changing the stats a bit to make the games more predictable shouldn't hurt current testing too much (unless you are looking for exploiting the behavior the majority is having issues with).
>>128665554
Half true. We think that games with 8+ goals are too much. I think the sweet spot for a good game is about 5. If you average on 8+ people will get tired of goalhorns and matches will be a few minutes longer thanks to the endless replays.
>>128665554
This. People complain about too many goals, but if there is 20 minutes without one it's ResidentSleeper, and it doesn't only come from the chat, often times it's the streamer or commentator saying it.
Make your damn minds up.
Everyone shut the fuck up and post more GB.
mfw 2 minutes in and no goals
>>128665826
>but if there is 20 minutes without one it's ResidentSleeper, and it doesn't only come from the chat, often times it's the streamer or commentator saying it.
it's almost as if people in stream chat want to shitpost and will do it with any excuse
Speaking of PES 16, did anyone else find it incredibly odd that no one on match day 2 of the Test Cup recorded a 7.5 or higher for MotM? I felt like somehow, the game just decided to dampen everything played on it for that day. Case in point the /y/ - /vp/ game, 85' of nothing then 4 goals in the final 5+ minutes.
Im beyond curious what days 3 and knockouts bring.
>>128664930
/merit/ isn't blaming anyone because they're not communicating at all.
>people are blaming everyone and everything for PES16 because they feel they will have to play Spring.
You're implying that all people who complain are either managers or fans of teams that play in winter. Some people complain because they'd rather not have another 1.12.
>>128665554
it seriously gets old after the 8th goal or so.
>>128665820
>Personally, I think that some occasional spaghetti and PES flipping the tables on what you thought was a silver bullet is fine
And we already had that before. Now we're just shovelling more issues on top.
>>128666062
It's hard to get a 7.5. 2 goals is usually a 7.0, 3 goals is usually an 8.0. Maybe a goal or two with some assists and lots of made passes it can be 7.5, I know I had some.
>>128665820
>We think that games with 8+ goals are too much. I think the sweet spot for a good game is about 5. If you average on 8+ people will get tired of goalhorns and matches will be a few minutes longer thanks to the endless replays.
At the least, the testcup v16 has 4 of 16 matches so far with 8+ goals (one of them came with improper settings (emotions on) and featured nodefense /vg/, another had >/y/ and a super offensive 5-3-2 playing so lel, /ck/'s typical tactics suck dick in 16 (they ran 4-4-2 against /an/ and won, 3-5-2 no medal defenders against /a/ and lost), and fuck if I know what happened to /vp/-/tv/) and average is just a tiny bit over 5 right now
1 in 4 matches with 8+ may be a bit much, but sample size right now is still fucking tiny and almost nobody who's actually testing stat changes of any kind has posted any testing results as of now
>>128665820
But as always, keep >>128665484 in mind. It's not the first time Boris surprised us with rule changes despite other people tellling him it's too last minute even by 4CCC standards. So all the nice (or bad, depending on your view) things we'll try to push for might get blown away in an instant. This is why we have to make strong cases and show off working results. That goes for everyone, regardless which skype chat your are in.
>>128666128
>And we already had that before. Now we're just shovelling more issues on top.
We did, and it's PES; we'll never get rid of it entirely. How much we actually shoveled on top will be more clear in the cup, sadly. 1.12 wasn't so terrible because it fucked managers over, but because the games were painful to watch even if you knew jackshit about PES. We have to fix the latter thing first. The former has a lower priority, sorry.
>>128666062
the goals aren't happening due to better players, but due to worse defence. That's why you get many goals but no increase in stats for MotM.
>>128666128
>muh 1.12
retarded fuck
>>128666508
good argument. Nice post. Thanks.
>>128666458
I don't care about managers either, but constant spaghetti will negatively affect how watchable the games are.
>>128666450
>and almost nobody who's actually testing stat changes of any kind has posted any testing results as of now
It's almost as if doing comprehensive tests and compile results thereof takes time.
>>128665849
agreed desu
>>128666450
I am well aware that many issues are just there because people are too retarded for PES16 and just make way for such matches. This was also a reason why we thought moving versions for an Elite Cup had its upsides: it's expected that more managers in an elite cup actually put some effort into their exports compared to a Babby cup. However, you can still expect about 10+ teams running absolute crap in the actual cup, and it shouldn't drag down the cup as a whole too much.
>>128666657
>but constant spaghetti will negatively affect how watchable the games are.
This is what we are trying to fix. Jump into the IRC. People like Hessen and PMB keep running test matches, and I am sure getting in touch with them and others will only be helpful for everyone.
>>128666859
>Jump into the IRC. People like Hessen and PMB keep running test matches
How about they jump into the thread instead?
>>128667058

>>128667135

>Communication takes effort so we won't try
I tend to keep my mouth shut but this is what is wrong with the running of the cup.
>>128666450
>and almost nobody who's actually testing stat changes of any kind has posted any testing results as of now
That's because this thread and the people in it are as worthless and useless as it gets. The only reason I even bother testing a few things is because I don't want the people who cry all the time but don't do anything right now suggest something really bad later on. Also so far gitting gud fixes more issues then stat changes, and then no matter how many games I test I just know people will complain about the sample size.
Honestly, since PES16 as it is doesn't bother me I would rather watch something or have a wank instead of testing all afternoon to please others.

some people refuse to go to irc or a skype circlejerk and only get cup news from /4ccg/, you know
those people include managers who really shouldn't have to rely on a fucking leak to know about possible rule changes possibly two fucking weeks before signups start
>>128667685
I don't think you quite know what constitutes as spoonfeeding. Having actual on-topic discussion in a thread instead of keeping it to a small circle of people that mostly just talk about ponies and CS:GO isn't spoonfeeding.
>>128667685
>This is what /merit/ believes.
>>128667685

>>128667879
>>128667892

I didn't ask you to hang around the IRC forever and all day for the off-chance of getting some info that isn't CS:GO, but I told you to go there now for this particular thing as it just happens to be discussed there.
>>128668063
asking = spoonfeeding
>>128668117
You don't seem to understand what being proactive means.
>Besides, the thread is trash 95% of the time and has been for quite a while.
>I didn't ask you to hang around the IRC forever and all day for the off-chance of getting some info that isn't CS:GO
I hope you see the irony here. If you don't, then I really don't know what to tell you anymore.
>>128668342
There is no irony. All the circlejerks are terrible, this thread included.
I don't get what is so hard to understand about the fact that managers who put the effort into testing things are not forced to share their info in a certain manner. That is up to them. If you don't like that attitude, talk to them and ask them to change it.
>>128668296
Spoonfeeding is catering to people who demand a piece of info that is easy to google or get in any other way. It's pretty obvious that dozens of anonymous viewers of the cup won't cram into IRC just to try to figure out snippets of useful informations from the mountains of ebin meme circlejerking. If you think that using actual 4chan when discussing event called 4chan Cup is too much of chore and totally unneeded, you might as well change the name of it to Leddit League already to not confuse newcomers that might think that it really has something to do with 4chan besides maybe old sentiment.
>>128668296
Again, that's not what spoonfeeding means
>>128668530
You don't know what a circlejerk is, good to know.
Then again, these days, some morons seem to think people generally agreeing on something counts as a circlejerk.
>>128668914
That's what spoonfeeding is. If you want an information you have to lurk moar. newfag
>>128668530
If managers only share their findings with /merit/ and a specific circlejerk, then that is everyone's business because they are influencing decision-making without anybody who is not part of said circlejerk knowing about anything being said there. Instead of having to acquire a pseudonym and asking for information to then be granted access to information, we should be having a more open dialogue since that's ultimately in the interest of everybody if your interests are in benefiting the cup.
This isn't a test of team tactics, this is testing formats.
>>128668914
since when are the cup rules on certain stats interesting to the viewers?
>>128669076
>oh no I'm being exposed online!
>better resort to trolling to make it seem like I was just pretending to be retarded!
Do you have no shame?
>>128668530
The difference is, /4ccg/ is only circlejerk that is 1) actually part of 4chan, 2)reguralry visited by people who don't follow the cup 24/7 and just want something as basic as official announcment from people in charge as wiki is updated once in a blue moon and with obsolete news. But no, 4chan is too scary place for /merit/ to visit, way too many mean bullies that dare to shitpost (and cannot be banned for it) or use trigger words. Only person who has the balls to post here is Sou, but he's around only for providing laughs and entertainment. Why don't just make official and heavily moderated subreddit and tumblr blog and call it a day?
>>128669271
It is to armchair managers
>>128669053
This is a general. People recognize each other without using trips. That is a circlejerk in my book.
>>128669101
As I said, just ask here. You got a reply.
>>128669271
They indirectly affect them, and viewers is what most managers and contributors were before engaging more with the cup.
Why should you make it harder to join in?
>>128669369
But you don't win jackshit, anyway, so why bother?
>>128669439
Then become responsible yourself and keep reporting all the off-topic shit in the thread that drove many people away from the thread in the first place.
>>128669425
the reply was "go to IRC lol"
also, again, try to be proactive if you want more useful feedback. Somebody had to ask in the thread whether rule changes would be considered to even get to know that different ideas are floating around. That's not how you get more people to test, you dumbass.
>>128669425
>words mean what I want them to mean
Good thing other people aren't as retarded as you.
be right back, i'll just ram my head straight into a brick wall
maybe then i'll understand why bent wants people who don't go to circlejerks like irc and may be interested in this sort of shit to have to rely on leaks for information about a possible rule change
>>128669289
obviously he doesn't, being from /a/ where even providing most cryptic and ungoogleable info is a basis to call spoonfeeding and ruining muh sekrit club devoids people of basic understanding of human interactions
>>128669625
There were already things being discussed when the invitationals were announced. Really, if you claim to read the thread you would have known.
>>128669716
Obviously people talked about format changes during the invitational because of all the blowouts and shit, but nothing was there to indicate that 1) /merit/ was considering it, 2) anybody else was testing stuff, 3) what they were testing.
>>128669425

please, the rule changes are as possible as whatever Boris feels is appropiate when he decides to tackle the issue. This has been the same shit for over 2 years now and hasn't since. All we are doing now (we being Tony, me, and about half a dozen managers) is testing and finding ways to make the games better again. I pick up the results whereever I can find them and forward them to everyone who I talked to earlier.
All we can hope for is to be able to present a solid package then that Boris agrees on going with. If he sticks with his opinion from a few weeks ago (that was before many people started complaining, iirc) and we run the same rules, then all of this was for nothing, anyway. I said this multiple times now that just because I run around and ask people for their test results does not mean they will get considered the way they should be. So here, I am saying it again.
Nevertheless, I will personally try to push more info into the thread in the future, because I agree it should be more in the open. I was just under the impression that the people who actually cared enough would hunt that info down by themselves, anyway, or are in one of the active circlejerks. But I can't forward info I don't have.(also, not every post you think is me is actually me)
I'll follow it up with a post soon that reflects all the current info I have.

Good to know /mlp/'s management is on the case and working together to lobby a change of rules according to how they want them, without telling anybody else beforehand.
>I pick up the results whereever I can find them and forward them to everyone who I talked to earlier.
As opposed to using some open platform to share them, so people who have something to contribute don't need to first find out about your sekret testing club, then ask to be included?
