/icup/ - 8chan cup

You definitely need new commentators

Also I don't know who had the bright idea to stick those squares with pictures instead of actual modded players, but they're fucking idiots and it should be fixed. Especially for /a/. Every single one of our players was a damn box. It looked much better before.

Also, did you guys lose every good commentator and manager because /sp/ left or something?

Also honestly, some of the teams on were one time things that are likely going to die.

shilling for the next cup if it happens definitely needs to be better, because this year it was ineffective as shit on most boards which is at least part of how a ~300 average viewer count became ~40 average in seven months

>>4421

It doesn't help that we lost /sp/

I'm convinced that's the reason. /sp/'s shilling likely got people interested.

>>4423

well that would also help but i mean anything is preferable to having these threads go up or get bumped often times with only an hour or so to spare and no warning in advance for mods and crew

that's what has happened on a lot of days during this cup and the end result is almost nobody shows because by the time they know what's happening things are either halfway over or completely over

>>4425

You guys should get in touch with the BOs of the major boards, especially /pol/ and /v/, and get them to sticky threads as it's happening.

Although, /v/'s thread was stickied and it didn't do much. Honestly the cup just kind of sucked.

The first had a kind of heart, even if it was flimsy. This one was just boring.

>>4426

we had stickies for the first cup, sadly not this time, though it seems we were the bioard that cared the most by far

>>4427

Because you actually thought the last time was unfair so win or lose, you'd be able to start shitposting about SOMETHING

Either "muh rigged" or "we won bixnood Marx is a good boi"

>>4428

hahahhaha

you what

>>4429

I'm calling your entire board a bunch of shitposters. Pardon if that wasn't clear.

>>4430

S A L T

>>4431

Yeah sure.

Anyway, a suggestion is that next time you only start advertizing heavily after the group stages.

The cup going for so long might have been part of why people lost interest. If you just show the final rounds when shit gets to the final stages, maybe it'll improve viewership/hype.

>>4432

we need to ahve the cup take place way closer to the team submission deadline

2 months inbetween ruined it imo

on /leftypol/ we had ~200post threead about the roster

but once cup came everyone forgot about it already

>>4433

That could work as well I think.

Honestly, are there that many teams to make from scratch? Besides fixing the current teams (seriously, those boxes for faces look so dumb), there can't be that many teams to enter.

Hi everyone! So I'd give the thoughts of Savior and I as well as our ideas for continuing the Cup, however I think we'll wait a couple days until the whole mess is sorted out with Next being scrapped by HW and Josh leaving 8dev.

I'll make a longer post when I'm not on mobile so expect it from me or him tomorrow or later this week.

Also extra super special thanks to Erik, Spidey and /his/BO for their

help with streaming, our stats guy, whoever is improving the wiki (I'm sorry if I forget any names) and to everyone else helping the Cup during these rough past weeks.

>>4418

>>4434

That is only possible if someone that can into face modelling volunteers to do the faces.

>>4440

I can do modding, my issue is that I don't have PES 2015.

It can't be that hard. Just a matter of fucking around with it a bit.

I think before any new teams ever get added, we need to fix the current teams. Make sure all correct kits are in, make sure anthems and goal horns are correct. Check with any boards if these are the teams they want, see if they still want to participate etc.

I also think we need to institute a cut-off for the size of a board to get a team if they want in/we're scouting for one.

>>4444

To add to this, after teams are squared up, we really need to decide on advertising and who will commentate. I cannot stress enough the brit needs to stop breathing into his mic, both need to sound excited, and they need to call the fucking game instead of bitching about which boards are playing. I wish Cotton could still commentate because he really tried when doing it. Try to cut down on errors in game like forgetting songs and entrances.

Any other things I missed about commentary and in game stuff? I heard some people complaining about fragmenting streams too.

>>4445

I don't really mind lag in stream. I mean that's the one thing that, while it should strive to be avoided, it's not completely the commentator's fault.

Sounding like shit though, yeah, that's their fault.

My suggesting is three commentators. A main one that should ALWAYS be on unless it's unavoidable, a second one that should be the divegrass expert, and then an extra one that should be familiar with the boards that are playing.

>>4443

If you can model using blender, I can put the stuff into the game for you.

Generic head files you can use to make faces from:

>>4447

Thank you so much for keeping an updated and detailed wiki with info. If you have any trouble remembering some info I'll see if I can help. Did you get a new /leftypol/ logo with their championship star on it?

One more thing I thought of for the game, maybe see if we can get in the ad-boards in that missed cutoff?

>>4449

currently the list of logos i do not have are /v/'s, /baphomet/'s, and /cow/, which i only don't have because they aren't on the current wiki, somehow

if someone has those they should definitely upload them to the wiki when they get a chance, because the awkward "N/A" file that has to go in place of their icons is a bit embarrassing tbh

>>4452

beyond that though, most things are covered. new wiki will have actual separate icon images instead of duplicates for board_logo.png and board_icon.png, the board infobox is as i noted before fixed up and has some of the extra parameters that it does on >implyingrigged now, kits are slow but steady, and of course we'll have the football box thing that i managed to implement for the Winter Cup matches starting in the round of 16

the main issues i can see in regards to updating the wiki come with the goalhorns and stuff, which i have absolutely no clue about beyond just a few and with all the games played on december 25th, january 16th and january 17th, since i don't know which of the commentators were recording those dates. i'm not even sure anybody actually recorded those, but i'm hoping someone did

>>4453

would there be pages for new teams that doesn't have them in the current wiki?

>>4454

yes, and they'll probably be the ones i work on today and tomorrow since they're the easier 17 (/intl/ only played one cup so i count them) to deal with in terms of stats, kits and other things of that sort

>>4453

>>4447

>Fuck wikia

Shit mane, I've been saying this for a while. I was the stats guy for the tourney so I have all the tournament information (team crests, full rosters, screenshots of scores/scorers/assisters/keepers. I've hit a tough spot right now in school which has translated in not updating the wikia. However, with a new wiki (wikidot is pretty neat) I can add this info and upload it somewhere so more anons have access to it.

>>4456

wew

in that case i'll try to get what's on the current wiki over and formatted by tomorrow so i can get the link up here and we can have something sort of independent going

>>4452

I know /cow/'s was basically sent in under the radar and the guy who put the team together didn't really post stuff anywhere, so for that see if we can get one of the guys to pull it from the game, I think the same situation happened with /baphomet/ so the same would have to be done. I can't believe I don't have /v/'s even though they were one of the first teams ever made.

>>4453

What teams are you having trouble with on music, there are some in the team threads here and I'm sure I remember for a lot of teams what was what.

>>4456

Really happy to have someone who has kept stats like that, a major asset.

>>4458

Will you be including home and away kits for teams that made two or just one or the other? The only issue I see there is the /fit/ kit is wrong, they were supposed to have the muscle kit but for some reason it was never explained why it never got in.

All in all this is shaping up to be fantastic. I was thinking of one more thing in the future, will we poll/ask teams if they want to ever change music for anthem/horns and uniforms? I know if we do another this summer there was talks of changing the rosters up and seeing if formations/positions wanted to be changed.

>>4459

>What teams are you having trouble with on music, there are some in the team threads here and I'm sure I remember for a lot of teams what was what.

since i didn't really pay attention to themes i can't for the life of me remember half of them. the thread from last cup here helps but i'm not sure if some teams have changed since the last cup beyond /gamergate/ and /a/, really

>Will you be including home and away kits for teams that made two or just one or the other? The only issue I see there is the /fit/ kit is wrong, they were supposed to have the muscle kit but for some reason it was never explained why it never got in.

eventually, home and away or home and goalkeeper kit, but for now i'm aiming simply to have at least one kit represented for each team

>>4459

it was never added due to it never being compiled into a .cpk. Since we also had several streamers well it was hard to keep track of that stuff.

>>4458

>>4457

Awesome, just post the link here and I'll start working on that. I'll also upload all the info I've got.

I've got several notepads with team anthems and goalhorns, not the complete set, I do know Cotton has those so I'll try and send him a skype message.

Apparently has a lot of info on the music stuff used but I can help for any you may be missing after then if you can't reach Cotton.

Link here for all the Winter Icup stats. Also uploaded .cpks, .bins and more shit for posterity. Always good to have that shit uploaded for other anons.

>>4469

ended up having to go somewhere that isn't exactly a great place to be accessing 8ch, so sorry about the delay in this

i didn't get quite what i wanted to done today, but as of right now we have seven pages, "/a/ • /bane/ • /gamergate/ • /leftypol/ • /sp/ • /tv/ • Summer 2015 Infinity Cup"

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

since by the time most people read this i'll already be asleep, here's basically what is and is not done and how to do certain shit to help out

i have all the logos i have covered, and all the icons covered, so those don't need to be uploaded although they may not all be up yet. i've tried to get as accurate statistics and captaincies as possible for the pages we do have, so for those pages most of what needs to be fixed is in the goal scorer and assister departments, although double checking for captains is a good idea

all of the kits from >>4458 are uploaded, and they are the only ones i currently have done, so if you make an article for a board which does not have one yet, please copy the template on the /leftypol/ article. if the board you are making does have a kit, just copy the /gamergate/ article's template or something and replace the "gamergate" part of "|kithome= gamergate_firstkit.png" with the board you are making

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK

categorize articles if you make them and images if you upload them, just so shit doesn't get lost. we only have a few categories period (all of which can be found at Category:Categories) and this is a bit of a problem on the wikia that i want to nip in the bud so that way later on it doesn't have to be fixed

other than that, i think we're good. i still haven't gotten all the templates i wanted, and our main page looks like shit since it's the default template, but otherwise i think this is the beginning of something pretty good, and hopefully by the time icup III happens, we'll have a central place of information

>>4472

oh, i guess i should also note that if you can write articles for certain boards, or even just add in little chunks about boards, go nuts. the amount of content that just these two cups have produced is ridiculous, but every addition to the wiki makes the workload a little lighter

>>4472

>>4473

It's looking fantastic already man, great job. When I'm back on I'll see about getting you the music for those first teams on there.

>>4475

>try and advertise the match on other venues other than 8ch

pls no

I do agree with the other stuff though, especially the extra skill cards.

As for the kits, I'm the one who worked on hebe's kits

>>>/hebe/85759

If people would like to have kits more like these, I'd be glad to create kits for more boards.

>>4475

>1. Make a couple of test streams as a trial for the commentators. I can't tell how fucking boring the whole thing was. Heck I was on last year and even with all the incoherent babbling and unprofessional stuttering, it was way more hype than this year's.

i think a good metric of commentary would be the first infinity cup's /gamergate/-/sp/ game that went to penalties

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ym7bp_icup-i-day-1-gamergatehq-vs-sp_videogames

i went back and rewatched it yesterday while i was making both teams' kits and i noticed that the commentary for that game was great. it's the kind of shit we should strive for when possible

>>4472

Alright, I already added a couple pages, will add more soon. Do you have a template for team rosters? That way I can start adding the rosters and full stats for each board.

A lot of that mixes in with the suggestions I made as well to improve the experience for everyone, especially finding good commentators. However, a lot of those uniforms were made by those board users, and I guess a lot didn't like the idea of throwing a sponsor on them, besides /hebe/ and /r9k/. I imagine this could mix in with the suggestion of polling boards on if they want to change anything for the next one. The custom stadiums I agree could be touched up a bit, but In some cases like /bane/ and /starwars/, they were made like that cause it's memeball. More board specific ads would be nice, however I would hope they would be more in line with the current ones, not trying to be too serious etc. I did hear some people on /a/ hating the boxheads so I think it would be wise to go back to just making players look like their inspirations, even more for the flat heads. As for other venues of advertising the matches, what would you suggest?

On the topic of smaller boards joining, I agree if they're active and willing to commit then sure. However, there should be a cutoff for minimum activity/users. Also should boards have their own culture and topic when being considered? /wx/ is one of the last few larger boards without a team mainly because they're just an image dump board with no concrete culture, for example.

I propose another suggestion, the current list of boards with teams has two who seem to have left the site. These two boards are /sp/ & /cyber/, /sp/ went to 76chan and /cyber/ made their own thing and went there/also lainchan. Now only one team has been removed under similar circumstances and that was /intl/. Should we do what we did before and consider removing /cyber/ & /sp/? I mean no ill will towards anyone of those boards, just wondering.

>>4482

>>4482

well, I don't know about /cyber/ but when shilling for the winter cup I did post in 76chan and anons there responded fairly well and swiftly. I think /sp/ still likes the cup and therefore if there is still interest they should stay.

>>4484

>dem face models

If only we had enough artfags

>10000 posts

/icup team when?

>minor tourney

I mean it was a fucking running this one but in theory its a great idea. We just need enough anons contributing.

>Coaching

Nah thats gay.

>>4485

>If only we had enough artfags

Hardly needed, the in game modeling is limited but will be of some use for the least active board users

>/icup team when?

I assumed /icup/ would have been the unfair team to battle at the end of the cup, so we could put a lot of weird unrelated things in it

>I mean it was a fucking running this one but in theory its a great idea. We just need enough anons contributing.

One way I thought about speeding up the minor tourney process was, let's make the smaller boards have teams with default faces and a very simplistic jersey (kind of how we had them in the first cup for most teams), just to give them enough time to finalize shit for the actual tourney.

>>4480

not yet, but i just got home so that is my next priority

>>4486

>unfair to battle

Why? I mean having /icup/ as a regular board competing with its own memes and tactics.

>>4487

Awesome. Could you make it so the starting 11 and the subs are separated. I think the one on the other wikia (in terms of information not so much aesthetic appearance) is great. That way anons can know which players are not doing so good and which ones are when its time to do team updates.

I for one have seen baffling changes in this cup like /pone/ having 4 keepers and talking away their top striker and /v/ moving their top striker to a defensive position.

>>4487

Also maybe adding stadium name (if applicable) to the info side-bar? I guess it could link to an image or something

alright, templates for the squad rosters is up

this is what it looks like:

{{sq start}}

{{sq player |no=1 |pos=GK |name=/a/non }}

{{sq player |no=2 |pos=CB |name=/co/mrade}}

{{sq player |no=3 |pos=RWF |name=/sp/artan |other=Captain}}

{{sq mid}}

{{sq player |no=20 |pos=CMF |name=/intl/-tier}}

{{sq player |no=26 |pos=DMF |name=Brendan Fraser}}

{{sq player |no=31 |pos=RMF |name=Wade Davis}}

{{sq end}}

for gold, silver, and bronze players, just add "gold", "silver", or "bronze" before "player," so for example {{sq gold player |no=31 |pos=RMF |name=Wade Davis}} would make Wade Davis a gold player

"No=" is obviously player number, and "Pos=" is obviously position. if you can't remember the shorthand for it, the full list of parameters is at Template:Sq start under "Parameters"

name is obvious. the "Other" parameter is for defining things like who the captain of the team is.

{{sq mid}} is very important, since it breaks the starting XI from the bench warmers on the team roster. don't forget that parameter or you'll fuck the table up and i think it will just be one big run on

>>4490

that should be pretty simple, but i'll do it when nobody's on so i don't accidentally fuck up all the board infoboxes and render articles unreadable or something

statistics table is now functional. if people want more parameters on the table like "games played" feel free to tack them on, i just omitted them because i'm not sure how necessary they are

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Lorem_Ipsum#STATISTICS_TABLE

>>4493

>>4492

Also, should I just fuck around with the tables you've made and make a Keeper Coefficient one? Or are you going to make a specific one?

>>4494

>>4495

i'd say just modify one out of the big table we have, but instead of "Career Goals|Career Assists|MotM" we have something like "MotM|Career Clean Sheets|Keeper Coefficient"

>>4496

for formation, i think >implyingrigged has a template for formation which i might use, but i haven't checked it out and i want to pump out a few more team kits today and get music put into the infoboxes, so until i've determined how viable the template is, go nuts.

>>4497

Should I crop it even more so its only the starting 11 on the field here? >>4494

>>4496

Alright then.

>>4498

probably, yeah

>>4499

Alright, how do I upload images? Also, stats and shit is here >>4471

I'll keep updating tomorrow.

5000 GET

>>4500

if you're not registered you can't but it's easy as shit to register a throwaway account for the wiki so if you aren't it'll only take a second

if/when you are, there will be a link on the sidebar which says "Upload file"

multiple images ca also be uploaded at once if you go to http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Special:MultiUpload

For the wiki, I don't think managers are suitable because we all are managerless. Team reps would be better, I think.

>>4503

oy shit hold on

Manager now changed to Team rep on BoardInfobox

>>4484

>>4486

I like your requirement ideas and after this whole wiki is sorted out and we figure out what happens to the site, we should compile all these suggestions into one list for the game runners to see.

Also for the new teams added here was their music.

I sadly do not know /argentina/ and /christian/'s stuff.

just a protip to people:

even though the wikia says it's the Winter 2016 Infinity Cup, it's actually Winter 2015. if we manage to make it to Infinity Cup IV, that would be Winter 2016. i've redated anything with that to Winter 2015 as such

Um quick thing, the goal horn for /fit/ links to Bella Ciao instead of The Pillar Men.

Also the link for /n/'s goal horn is broken.

Actually quick run through, links to /his/'s anthem and goal horn are broken, same for Picard's goal horn on /tv/.

Links are also broken to /sp/'s anthem and goal horn as well as CIA's goal horn on /bane/.

any brokens are because of the https or http in the field. on mobile so i cant do shit but if you find a broken link it's guaranteed to be because of that, and it can be fixed by removing anything before the www.

there's already an http: in the template, so if you leave it in the link itll fuck up

either that or because of t=xs, i wouldnt be able to tell because this thing is total shit

regardless fix what you can right now and i'll try to get up early tomorrow to fix whatever's left

>>4488

eh, I guess it'd be kind of weird, we don't have a real culture and we're mostly here to consider ideas and create content

plus we're not even halfway to 10k posts.

>>4491

got it, thanks mate

>>4508

oh, how'd you make that?

>>4514

i'm hand drawing all of these, pretty much

by the way, for team reps who use tripcodes the manager template can represent them

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Template:Manager

>>4518

good stuff man. Each board has a page now. Will start updating their rosters and goals now by copy pasting /a/s one.

working towards getting tripcodes for team reps in where possible. just found Balty's for /a/

/pone/ article now has something

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//pone/

I'm working on editing smaller information, like team mottos and nicknames. Just doing a run though to make sure info is correct.

>>4522

wew lad

I'll edit the rest of the teams later tonight, it's looking good so far. Just need those missing logos, some more stats, and some music for a few other boards and it should be good. Please if one of the gamerunners still checks in here, get us the logos for /cow/, /v/, and /baphomet/.

Also, if anyone feels like putting in the time for write-ups for teams, it will be greatly appreciated.

>>4524

as far as i am aware nobody physically has /v/ or /baphomet/ logos, i have cow's but i'll have to convert it to a .PNG

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//a/

/a/'s draft lede is in

Here's /monster/'s pastebin with their roster.

http://pastebin.com/E76whM7D

>>4528

They used the 60s spiderman one also, 4 was the goalie.

>>4530

wew, thank you lad

>>3975

Argentina uniform

i know we are nowhere close to done with the wiki yet, but honestly, it feels like we've accomplished so much more with it already than we ever did with the wikia

>>4532

have that first one in the form of a screenshot from /v/ - /argentina/ last year

second one is new to me, will save

>>4533

Second one is goalie, I just need /argentina/'s anthem now to complete their sidebar.

I meant to ask, for uniforms you're not sure do you go through team threads here ton find them too?

Alright, I'm pretty sure I filled out and corrected every sidebar thing for teams that I could, feel free to look for yourselves and correct any mistakes. I'm pretty sure the captains might be wrong for a lot of teams. Also can someone list the /tech/ page?

We just need the rest of the uniforms, the three logos, rosters, and write-ups I guess. We've got a lot done in a few days and thanks to everyone who has helped.

>>4537

Also, I'm pretty sure a lot of the dates for games are inconsistent/wrong.

One final thing, if you know the anthem /argentina/ used please let us know, same if you happen to know any of the /int/ stuff.

good to see that even when i'm not here, wiki is still productive. it's finally the weekend, which means i'll be working overtime to start team blurbs and rosters and maybe get summer 2015 infinity cup's page rolling beyond what's there

Going through and fixing dates and correct team placement for games now thanks to

>>4502

Will doublecheck and fix stats here

>>4471

>>4543

>>4543

The main users of /int*/ left for their own site and hold disdain for the tournament and the site now. They wanted to dump the team off on /int/ but they didn't want it either, hence their removal. I highly doubt they will come back. /cyber/ left for their own site apparently but they still get a few posts on their board here so I don't know about them. I know /sp/ has a new home on 76 and I don't know if they will ever come back, even with the front page and some of the catalog being fixed now. I say we come to a consenus on them before we add any new teams/go to work on the other teams

because how brackets might be if two teams are removed and x amount of teams are added. We could remove /intl/ because of the amount of new teams we got, mainly /cuteboys/ stepping up.

>>4545

I should also add, fixed any dates for games up for teams on the wiki.

>>4543

Nevermind, guess some of /sp/ is coming back and checking things out. Maybe both teams can stay after all.

Alright, I think I got every piece of sidebar info correct for every team excluding captains, scorers, assists etc. I'm really annoyed I never got /argentina/'s anthem but got all the music for every other team.

>>4541

>>4541

Note the matches played stats for anyone out of the top 10 in each slide is probably not right. I would recommend double checking with the matches screenshots.

>>4550

oy fuck

fixed

now comes the hard part, which is finding images of every teams' kits or kit

>>4555

trips of truth right here. Holy shit. So

>Vivian James

Fastest Summer Cup goal

>Jean Luc Picard

Fastest Infinity Cup Goal

Fastest Winter Cup Goal

Unless someone shoots from the midfield I don't see anyone beating this record anytime soon.

>>4556

Truly this confirms that Picard>>>>>>>>Kirk

>>4557

you know, this map would look a helluva lot better if you just made the picture blend in with the court a lot more, rather than leaving it unedited

>>4550

We need one last logo, the one for /cow/. Do you have it? It was the puzzle piece IIRC.

>>4550

Besides that /cow/ logo, do you know the anthem /argentina/ used? It's the last piece of music needed to complete every teams music selections.

>>4550

sorry for the triple post

Do you remember any of /intl/'s stuff, they're the only page that has very little info.

>>4559

most of the stadiums in general are great ideas on paper, but in reality either eyesores or plain overdone, tbh. i think /b/'s was probably one of the best, and that's because their stadium had i believe about three things on it

that's also something we might need to fix over the break before Infinity Cup III

>>4562

they have a thread, >>418

>>4563

pretty much. I mean once anons started modifying stadiums me and some anons called it. As a football fan most stadiums (specifically pone/a) are a complete eyesore and take you away from the action. However, as a memeball tournament this kind of shit is fine but there should at least be some rules so some asshole doesn't just make an un-watchable mess.

/b/s is good because it still holds characteristics of memeball but isn't over the top. Too bad we didn't add anything on the sky-box. A looming HW would've been perfect.

>>4560

its this >>4542 I believe. Haven't found it in a transparent background anywhere though.

>>4566

i do enjoy the distinctness of all of the pitches we used this cup, even shit like /pone/'s and /bane/'s, but i think the golden standard should be something more along the lines of what /v/ and /b/ ended up doing. they're distinct from the regular pitch in unique ways, but they still have that divegrass element to them

>>4569

interesting, since i don't think they ever ended up using their main kit and got stuck with a default, which is what i made

i'll try to replicate that but the flat 2D perspective is seriously obnoxious as fuck to replicate from so i'm not sure how it will turn out

>>4567

the logo for cow officially actually was the puzzle piece, but i don't think anybody ever posted it anywhere

>>4571

They got that kit in their second game against /k/, that was when a lot of uniforms got fixed for teams.

i'm calling /gamergate/ our first officially "complete" article. there's obviously plenty of room for expansion, but it pretty much covers everything it should and needs to

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//gamergate/

/cyber/ is more active again as well as /sp/ and both seem to be back for now, guess we won't have to worry about their team's futures.

>>4579

cyber would be an ideal candidate for a preliminary cup

>>4580

A qualifier for the smaller boards, like top 5-6 make it in to the groups of the larger boards?

>>4580

>>4581

I would like to hear how this could work, would a similar one be held for the larger boards and those top preforming boards are mixed with the top preforming smaller boards? Say, top 8 from each?

>>4582

Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of:

>Top 10 boards (those with the largest userbase and thus the most interest) get a free pass

>Another 12 "minor" boards (that still have the rules that I mentioned earlier in the thread) have to compete in small, 4-teams minileagues, with the two winners of each becoming the next pick (or 4 leagues of 3 teams each whatever floats your boat)

Alternatively, if we want to get it to 32, let's have the top 20 already in the game and the remaining 12 be decided with the aforementioned method.

>>4484

>>4583

That sounds kind of cool actually. Of course this is discounting new teams that might be made, however any new teams that get made could face off against the smallest boards or boards with the worst W/L records in the bottom to battle it out for a spot in that 12 or whatever is the number needed to get half the amount of teams we'll have by then in the true cup.

>>4583

>>4584

How about using the performances from the previous cup? The teams that got through the group stages last cup get a free pass and the teams which didn't would have to compete in a preliminary stage along with the new teams. So 16 teams would automatically qualify, and the preliminary stages can be adjusted accordingly.

>>4583

assuming we use any of these methods, the teams you end up with are pretty interesting

method 1: top ten would be /v/, /pol/, /furry/, /tech/, /co/, /leftypol/, /k/, /tv/, /a/, /b/, and the rest would be minor boards

method 2: top 20 should be this, provided i didn't fuck it up

/k/ (9pts, +6GD)

/n/ (7pts, +4)

/fit/ (7pts, +2)

/leftypol/ (6pts, +6)

/hebe/ (6pts, +5)

/kind/ (6pts, +4)

/tv/ (6pts, +3)

/senran/ (6pts, +2)

/a/ (6pts, +1)

/furry/ (6pts, 0)

/v/ (5pts, +1)

/just/ (5pts, +1)

/starwars/ (4pts, +5)

/bane/ (4pts, +2)

/tech/ (4pts, +1)

/argentina/ (4pts, -1)

/sp/ (4pts, -2)

/b/ (4pts, -2)

/cow/ (3pts, -1)

/cuteboys/ (3pts, -2) – wins out because of goals for at 8

>>4585

method 3: /hebe/, /a/, /tv/, /v/, /k/, /tech/, /fit/, /leftypol/, /furry/, /starwars/, /senran/, /bane/, /n/, /kind/, /his/, and /just/

You got any more of those kit mock-ups done my man? I found /argentina/'s anthem and some other key music for teams and now every team has every piece of music they need for their rosters as well.

If Cotton sees this, try to get a png of the /cow/ logo so all those can be completed as well.

>>4590

unfortunately no, but since i have tomorrow off (thank you, huge, crippling snow storm that has totally fucked our entire state) and thursday is a short day + i have no real work to do i will work to get more of them done

>>4592

There's a few boards that are over 25K posts that are not in the top 25 but have their dedicated following, like /egy/ for example. The only other country specific board I know that's active and has over 100K, could be a good rivalry with /argentina/.

You have even more that have crossed the 20K mark that could be considered, like /x/.

>>4591

Great

>>4594

Fantastic job on those, also saw you got /co/'s so great on that too.

Wish Cotton could get the /cow/ logo for us so those would be finished.

>>4585

This is basically the main reason why performance based event setting is shitty in this situation because its not inclusive to all the teams and won't get max number of anons around enjoying their teams playing, so for that I'm against a promotion/relegation style event layout because it complicates things.

The # of teams now is appropriate enough for 8chans current size (especially with the /just/-tier fuckups and lost users) so if anything Cup events can still be decided based on last event placing and that would decide your pot placement and the tiers of teams you'd likely end up playing.

I'm getting a 503 error on trying to access the wiki, anyone know what's up or how long it has been down?

>>4596

Thinking about it now, that would be for the best. Every team gets a chance, it's just that your placement in whatever group would be decided on how you did last time. So like a group of dominant teams and a group of weaker teams etc.

>>4597

shoutwiki periodically goes down like that. it's kind of obnoxious, but it's usually short and it's the price to pay for a free host that actively supports its users and won't delete everything because /pol/'s logo happens to have the word nigger in it.

>>4598

I didn't know that, a small price is right.

>>4599

I think Benjikins was Gold and Captain, silvers were Vince & Baph-tan IIRC.

>>4600

No I guess Hell was captain then.

>>4600

>>4601

i know for certain benji and baph-tan are golds because of their 100s, which is something i've only seen in gold players on every other formation

outside of that, i don't have shit because baph's formation and playing style is awful and rapes their statlines to a point where their silvers apparently aren't very good

>>4602

Silvers are Vince & Blood-chan, I remember now, Benji and baph are gold.

>>4603

no Silvers should be Blood Chan and Danknet, Vince is a 77.

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//sp/#Roster

/sp/'s article is nearing completion

Any of you lads around today/tonight?

>>4609

I'm here, just got off a graveyard shift at work 8 hours ago.

Which articles need help?

been busy with a bunch of work, so i haven't had time in the past day or two to get anything done

gonna work toward getting a few more articles to completion and also see if i can knock out some more of these kits, but i don't know how much time i'll be able to commit to anything this week

>>4611

I guess any one's that aren't 100% completed, obviously still need that /cow/ logo.

>>4612

Take your time man, after this wiki gets done I imagine we'll shift talks towards the future events and what we are doing.

Can confirm for now, /cyber/ is back in the top 50 and active, /sp/ is dead & moved to 76chan for good it seems.

Take that for what you will.

Anybody around?

>>4625

Got any ideas for if there is another one of these tournaments?

>>4626

possibly, but not for a while.

>>4626

There probably will be one, however the time it takes to do the next one will be dependent on many circumstances.

>>4628

Are you cotton the cutie canadian or a different maple?

>>4628

We got one important thing figured out; infinity next is dead and there will be no migration.

>>4629

Yee

>>4630

That is true, however it seems the site is starting to recover, although the user losses on /v/, /b/ and the GamerGate boards have definitely helped with the downpour.

Let's just hope that HW can fix vichan and find a way to market the site again on desirable user pools that aren't reddit, hobby boards are really slow nowadays.

>>4631

I think even before when next was announced as being over, the gg boards were already declined because of the never ending shitshow it became, /b/ is from endless spam/board flooding & people who only browse /b/ thinking the site is dead and wanted others to come with them. /v/ is about the same, over 3000 but has lost some. Things have started to turn around, on some much smaller boards since posting is a bit fixed they've gone up. Hell, /kind/ & /cyber/ both re-entered the top 50 and are going much better than before the Winter tournament.

I really think boards that missed out should be considered, /m/ has gone up a little more in activity for example, /x/ too. At the same time boards that are struggling hard like /starwars/ (for example) should be considered for removal is they are under certain activity for a time period.

/sp/ seems to have left again and are on 76 for good I guess and I was wondering what to do with them, should they be removed?

Also have you checked out the wiki?

still busy unfortunately, hopefully next week i'll be able to get back into working on the wiki

cotton we also still need the official /cow/ logo which i think only you have

>>4634

Ive been trying to contact erik, since he was the one who originally had it, but he may be ded

>>4632

>/sp/ seems to have left again and are on 76 for good I guess and I was wondering what to do with them, should they be removed?

I'd prefer to wait it out, but if it comes to that I'll ask for their opinion on staying in and decide when the time comes if by chance they come back.

Hello virtual soccer friends, how is today?

still busy as fuck, i've had assignments for shit due almost every day this week and still have two more going into the weekend

hopefully though, that'll be the end of it and i can get some work in on our wiki

>>4642

College stuff or work stuff?

Power to you either way man.

>>4644

Well if we're still around when the holidays roll around/2017 we look forward to your return if you forget about it completely due to life it's understandable.

Is there a way Erik could work with us or has he disappeared? If he's not around then I don't know anyone who could stream/work with this so things might be postponed until you come back, unless anyone else has someone in mind.

>>4645

I've tried to talk to him but he hasn't been around for over 2 months.

Not sure if he's coming back, I'll have to wait and see.

>>4646

I'm going to assume he is gone but if he proves me wrong then that's good. Guess all we can do if we can't find a new streamer is finish the wiki & keep the board alive til next time.

Can we get you to do a quick design for the /cow/ logo & perhaps a /leftypol/ championship logo, like /a/ has with the star above it.

Good luck with whatever you're doing in life also man.

>>4637

/sp/'s staying on 76chan. Up to you whether or not you want to include them going forward. You could go there and ask them, I guess.

Also, /am/ moved to Endchan, though they never really finished their team.

>>4649

Who knows what the future holds since this is on hiatus unless we can get a new streamer for the Summer, it seems unlikely but maybe they'll return one day. I think until then maybe they should be left out, nothing against them.

>>4650

Yeah they didn't even get a roster done when we were recruiting last time so I don't think we'll have to worry about them.

>>4649

We aren't too fussed about icup.

There was very little interest for it during winter. We're probably calling it quits for now.

Good luck to everybody else though…

>>4652

Thanks for participating in the first two, your memeball skills were great.

just got done bringing over all the worthwhile wikia pages to the shoutwiki so now people don't have to bounce between two sites

http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/User:22423a/OLDPAGES

Should things just be postponed until we know for sure if there is going to be another one of these?

>>4661

It's technically postponed already, so yeah.

>>4572

Wait, is THAT why things got fucked up?

>>4666

I think he meant making a mock up for the wiki.

You still check in occasionally wiki guy? Appreciate everything you did.

still here, still bogged down to all fuck and don't have nearly as much time as i really need to pump out wiki pages

>>4674

Take your time man, we got all the time in the world now.

>>4674

I've been updating it bit by bit, currently doing starwars. Is there anyway we can get the tables to have custom sorting? Ie - person clicks on matches played and the table changes from highest to lowest. Or one chooses goals scored and same thing happens?

>>4676

Speaking of starwars, it never did get in but their official uniform was that stormtrooper kit that's in their team thread. I know /tg/'s got used for two games, the purple robe with the white wings on their team logo being home kit and the white robe with the black wings on the team logo being the away kit.

You're doing good on starwar's page.

>Cotton never did get us /cow/'s logo

Damn it

>>4677

>>4678

Feel free to help out if you want to, I uploaded all the match info, but I don't remeber where I linked it. I guess I can upload it again if you don't find it. There are some matches missed here and there, though it contains about 90% of matches. The matches that weren't can be found by looking over the replays and the best players section which should also be uploaded.

>>4676

most likely, i'd just have to figure out how to put the markup for it in the table. i've got a ridiculous number of days off this month for hilarious reasons so i'll see what i can do about that one

>>4679

i'm assuming this is it?

https://mega.nz/#F!1wMyxJhS!AR7ZNuQAyYN5NATPtYTVkw

>>4681

I mean it works on the match history table. Those have custom sorting depending on which table you click.

>>4682

Yup thats the one. Forgot I also put the ICUP files in there just in case. Better that way I guess.

We back up
