As some of you know the Cup is a virtual soccer tournament between various Veeky Forums boards that takes place four times a year: /lgbt/ just won the 2017 Summer Cup. The game is Pro Evolution Soccer and the matches are done AI vs AI with custom models and uniforms to match the memes of each team. It's completely ridiculous, and it's really quite a lot of fun.
Veeky Forums was one of the original 16 teams in the cup a few years ago but has had slightly spotty attendance since then, last competing in the Spring 2016 Cup. Take a look at their page below to read up on the team's history and see the old roster:
Do you want to see Veeky Forums compete in future cups? If so, please post in this thread. As long as there are a couple dozen board fans that consistently check in each season for any roster polls and the like, everything else for the team can and will be taken care of.
Please let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. Oh, and post any ideas you have for new players- I think the team roster could use a good overhaul.
and i don't really care about the other 8 but, don't include any mention of techwear fags thanks
Austin Cook
Maybe all variations on "is x Veeky Forums?"?
Anthony Ortiz
These need to be in the roster.
Ethan Butler
I'd love to see this :
Keep designers as players, ill do suggestions
Young Leo Jawlet // Chinlet
in fact I have no idea either you make funny shit up like stupid cores based on these " standing in the corner " memes or full designer.
Liam Garcia
The party never stops boy, of course we're showing up next cup I want Knoch, OiOi, Eliza/Ciara, "from the back" guy, and the full-rick jackass with the iPad from WAYWT as team members
Gavin Hernandez
this
Chase Rivera
Unfortunately that would preclude other memes from making the roster, so I think simply having "Is X Veeky Forums?" as a player would get the job done.
Having a few designers on the team seems to be key. Should Tricky Rick still be the captain?
Let's See the Back is an excellent idea.
Finding player names that are a balance between representing the board culture and being accessible to other viewers is a challenging but rewarding process.
I forgot about this other video of a lot of the best moments from the cup's older history. It'll do a good job of showing newcomers what to expect:
We need Reviewbrah as a physical player - not just his catchphrase. He is /our guy/.
Oliver Wilson
What about Lean, or Desu Guripu for the anthem ? Something less obvious than Fashion Killa
Landon Foster
inb4 another episode of sabotaged by the manager
Thomas Harris
can we get the indian looking guy that always posts his face in the facial aesthetics and face rating threads please, cheers
Jacob Cook
Oh, that is entirely the plan. Depending on the extent to which the aesthetics people smile on the board, we should be able to get a model of reviewbrah to use for the player himself. It is however often better to use an associated meme rather than the person's name.
Have any DG tracks in mind? Note that an anthem needs to be about thirty seconds long. I actually think that this track would work quite well:
I am fairly certain that won't happen yet again. If nothing else the team can be run on autopilot with the cup management generating tactics for you.
By the way, here is a discord y'all can hop into if you want to. It isn't necessary but it provides much better continuity than few and far between board threads:

Henry Morris
How about a player called meme sneaker whose head is a shoe
Love the cup, and it would be nice to see Veeky Forums playing again
Nathan Edwards
That was suggested a little further up, I think it's very Veeky Forums
Glad to hear it. If you've got Discord be sure to hop into the server I made here It's pretty much nothing right now but it will become an important hub of participation for fans (although it can never replace threads on the board itself).
Liam Fisher
For the kits, incorporate more Veeky Forumsscism? All black, except for swastikas, eagles what not. Very short pants. Jack Boots.
As for a nameL Lunarcore didn't fly so good Lunarcore fell to earth
David Wright
Whens it going down?
Brandon Ward
I think /pol/ has swastikas and possibly even the hugo boss uniform on lock but I'm open to that avenue. can you post a little more inspo? and pic related is the template if anyone wants to take a crack at making a kit
see
Ryder Morris
It looks like we will be replacing IMA READ as the anthem with something fresh for this cup appearance. Any other suggestions before I make a poll comparing our options?
Sorry for making you copy and past links but the timestamps are important because each anthem can only be 30 seconds longs. I'll post the results in a couple of days.
Hudson Jenkins
The shoe i had in mind was a Stan Smith, but perhaps a poll to decide the current meme shoe would work
Christopher Gomez
Pull WW2 out of his context through excessive branding. Plaster the black tenue with white text (black + white = minimalism) written in Futura Heavy Oblique or Fraktur.

you're not edgy or poignant
you're just a faggot
Colton Cooper
Do you really think I'm into Veeky Forumsscism? Its meant to take a piss at it.
Isaac Davis
>SI SI SI SI SI SI SI on clothing that's actually a great idea
Hudson Edwards
He's basically talking about Gosha being his best friend (probably not literal) and about being on trends and shit
James Collins
If you care at all about exactly what the new anthem is then please participate in this poll! Otherwise it will just be me picking my favourite of the list and that is no good.
There's some promise there. But I am actually most excited about a PUSSY / NIGGA kit.
Also, hi, I'm a former manager of the /p/ team. Since /p/ was culled for a lack of board support, I took a little break and then decided to go see if my other favourite board was interested in competing again and it looks like you are. So if you'll have me, I'll happily helm the team this fall (and beyond). I'm not the best at tactics but I'm trying to improve and I know how to do all of the background work to run a team. Sound good to you?
Nolan Cruz
apologies for the self bump but I've gotten some questions about the verification questions. it is basically just a cup tradition to put some kind of mechanism into the polls to allow managers to filter out troll responses from people outside the board. in this case, you can put whatever you feel like in the last field of the polls. I am entirely open to other means of verification though! you can contact me in the discord if you want to discuss anything at length

Any tweaks you want made?
And what do you want the Veeky Forums stadium to be? We can control the design of the pitch and possibly get some modelling done for the building itself. Any ideas?
thanks!
I included your votes in the poll
Nolan Lee
Veeky Forums confirmed patrician taste
Liam Turner
Only use the SUPREME logo as texture for the stadium.
Jaxson Wilson
So just a giant SUPREME logo drawn in the grass all the way across the pitch?
... I like it. Any other ideas? And what do you want our ball to be? What object should challengers kick around when they come to our stadium?
Glad you like it!
Jaxson Gonzalez
I meant, everything is SUPREME. The audience, the grass, the tribune, the sky. May be too much.
Jayden Ortiz
isnt it better to wait for the template that includes a skirt
Daniel Perez
I think there's promise in there.
We won't get that. There are two ways to change the looks of a player. One is to remap the textures on the ingame shorts and jersey- that's what the template is for. The other is to make custom 3D models to replace the ingame clothes or faces, essentially, which is how a skirt or drop crotch sweats would be made. All the same, it would be good to have another kit made that can be achieved just by editing the ingame clothes.
There already exists in the cup a skull ball. Is that Veeky Forums enough or can anyone think of a more board appropriate object?
Jaxon Stewart

How is Huck not in the roster?

DANIEL WELLINGTON
Nolan Powell
Appreciate it.
He was never mentioned! Suggest him in the next roster poll.
SHITTY FASHION WATCH
Well if there are no objections I'll helm the team then. We're confirmed for competing in Autumn now. I'll make a thread about it in a month's time or so: the tentative date for the Fetus is the weekend of October 13. Hop into the discord if you want to stay in touch between now and then while I work on the team. See you soon, brothers.
