Good job /mlp/tards

>>381405
We had a chance to play in the 4CCCL again but the managers didn't want to take part of it

>>381408
the 4cccl would just have been a scalp, honestly. We're forever in their minds

WINTER WRAP UP WINTER WRAP UP

Cuz tomorrow spring is here ;_;

What a day. Still high from it.
The Perfect Day /)

They claim that the star opens the portal to equestria, but can we credit Wanda for opening it?

The Stars Will Aid In Our Escape

Anyway, come to Mare Fair!

>>381416
So want to. Hope all that can will.

>>381416
While appreciating that you're speaking to others, I nonetheless cannot not respond to this

>>381420
That is not even the final form ^:)

Okay fine,... its the final boss,...

So should have been an /mlpol/ final, but w/e

Based tracy, killing things

it 2-0, theres no chance. Its pretty much over.

Still, party hats on lads, this is what we were waiting for

>>381426
Salt? Thats perfect! I made tacos!

>>381428
Let them cry, their day is forever ruined XD

>>381359
This post right here,...

Brings a tear to my eye

>is not allowing themselves to recognize what has happened, cuz otherwise he will pass out

It wasn't a dream, we really won

>>381359
Canon event song, and it's your fault
Do it again!

Dont tell me the song doesnt deserve a good old southern-style line-dance boot slap

this is what was used as /pol/ - /mlp/ rematch hype
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx1MA6ousJE

Shoutout to the /k/ bro who predicted this; you were right, I would and did fard and shid pant, and I'm pony enough to admit to it.

>>381459
U got one that isn't age restricted or requiring a login? No is an acceptable answer, it's not like no one knows the video in question, but being able to readily watch it through a link would be kino

>>381459
A great nostalgia video chosen by /pol/. Brought many good feels from back then.
>>381462
The webm that is attached to post is the full youtube video.

>>381464
Oh,... right. Thank you, sorry for being r-tarded. For extra feels, check the comment section of that video tho

Some commemorative contributions from drawfigs. There will be more, do not doubt

The new status of the logo is being hotly contested. It's effectively down to two of the following finalists, effectively between one of the big star designs and the triforce design. Oldfags insist because of the /b/ days, but other parties think it's inauthentic and homosexual. Will monitor and advise. There's a strawpoll, but speaking of unauthentic and homosexual,....
Oh, more art

The memes have begun

OMFG THIS EXISTS AND WILL PERSIST AS LONG AS THE ARCHIVE

Excuse me, I got excite. Please accept these offerings
pic 1, idfk how old it is. Pic 2, yeah, you were detected

Nevermind, site be like "Fuck your attempts to dictate picture order!"

Truth be told, I WANT to be unmoved by the autism going on in the flag thread(s), but its quite endearing. Here's some of the "debate"

The rest is celebratory ponies

Also, frenly reminder (not that this will make its way up the pipeline) there were 1200 people in attendance, if one counts both the cytube and the youtube (200+), which became necessary for some because the chat was going absolutely apeshit, with cause

>>381490
It was a fantastic finale. The chat was so fun participating in and watching.

>>381491
I can't stop watching, there's so many easter eggs, especially when the chat is flying. Its even more hilarious now!

>>381492
Going to do rewatch myself.
For those wondering where to find VOD with chat replay you can find it here: https://implying.fun/winter25/

/pol/eague is also on same site (and the other cups) https://implying.fun/

>>381493
If a gentlepony were to do a stream, they might get showered with appreciation

The cup flag/symbol debate intensifies, with a potentially recognizable Diamond Tiara poster making a very solid case for "fuck your darker shield designs". No clear consensus has been reached, but the choice phrases of
>You are a nigger and, may god forgive me for saying of another human being, a graphic designer
which isn't inherently bad, but you can taste the salt, and
>uncalamity thy mammaries
have appeared so it's going how you might expect for /mlp/

>>381488
#3 is actually a really neat design, I like it

>>381505
Keep your filthy hands off, I clopped to them first

It may come as no surprise that the discussion has gotten a little silly

When I said 'silly', what did you think I meant?

More Football Incoming
/mlp/, /marefair/, and /cdf/ will be playing in the 2025 4CC Champions League starting on Saturday

https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/2025_4CC_Champions_League

I see /mlpol/ might have missed an opportunity to participate. Well we can at least root for /mlp/

>>381510
/mlpol/ mostly didn't participate due 4cc autumn & winter being in full rolling as its current management that is left is half /biz/ half /pol/ which both were in both 4cc cups

>>381511
Fully understandable. Upside is that /mlp/ is there to play.

>>381510
>might have missed an opportunity
I'm working on it, just waiting on Elway and a bit of confirmation. It might require less-than-visually-stunning kits, but I'll do my best

>>381512
It would take a miracle at this point, for mlpol to play

>>381513
No point trying to start drama over it. It is a game for fun, and manager have understandably been busy. Lets just enjoy /mlp/ playing there and have fun rooting for them to a new victory. Perhaps next time there will be room.

>>381515
I wish I could enjoy your passivity, but I am disappoint. There could have been an mlp v mlpol match, and these chances don't grow on trees

>>381516
Who knows what the future brings.
Mother /mlp/ and sister teams /marefair/ and /cdf/ are playing so there is lots of fun to be had watching.

>>381517
>who knows
Since you asked, I do. We could be PLAYING them

That you're taking the passive stance is appreciable, thats one thing I've always liked about (you) is that I get to take the extreme position knowing you will occupy the cooler-heads position. And yes, I acknowledge its too late and have said so to 4cccl.

But this will not happen again, even if I have to seize management.

>>381518
>>381519
Just be happy that /mlp/ will play and enjoy the tournament, along with /marefair/ and /cdf/.
No need to make drama out of it. Managers we have are good and have led /mlpol/ to great heights with labor of love.

>>381520
>be happy
REEEEEE, happiness is transient and not subject to will. I will do my best to not make it awkward, but there may yet be strong words to be said.

In the meantime, FuckleChuck at 5:28: LAST DAY I CAN ASK WHAT IS THIS SONG
>Narrator: He was in fact, never answered

Seriously, the chat is the best part. Not only can you get the commentators to respond, but some of the comments are platinum

And like a good suspense-thriller, the second viewing (just the last day unless you're a masochist) is ABSOLUTELY worth it for phrases like
>I don't think they can summon the demon
That's what you were supposed to think Boris

>I missed the /sp/ match, how bad did we destroy /tv/?

>>381524
All matches can be seen with chat replay here https://implying.fun/winter25/
Or for spoilers you can see results at https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/2025_4chan_Winter_Cup
But I would recommend watching replays

>>381525
Yes, but the chat timing is a little off. It's based on the rigger cam, as opposed to the chat/youtube cam, so the chat appears unnessarily retarded. I'm just saying, these are "important" objects to note

>>381526
You can adjust the chat delay using the +/- at bottom under the video.

>>381527
... well don't I have egg on my face?

>>381510
On this subject, it is bothersome that /mlpol/ is not taking every opportunity to remind people of A. pony supremacy, and B. that we prevail regardless. No actual butt-bothering occurred, just a bunch of autistic screeching.
Having said, and having made declarations in DMs, I will NOT ALLOW that we balk and/or decline another invitational, and I'm coming for management to see that done.

Also sidenote, the discussion is officially +20% sillier

>>381533
Dude just let it go. Sperging out about this is just silly.

>>381535
You misunderstand. The sperging phase has passed, this is determination and resolve

<Am I the only 'person' in this thread with a thinking brain? Where the fuck is the song?
https://youtu.be/L9BAeyZhAdE?si=R0PMXLYEMGA5oE0B
Oh there it is

In more scalp-related news, consider the following:
>the context here is that /mlp/ pulled the highest viewership of any cup event in history.
What he neglects to recognize is that there were another 200+ in the Youtube, because all the giddying was lagging out electronic devices, including mine. It was that crazy, watch the replay

God dammit mlpol. Okay, the image related to the viewcount is #1

>>381554
>the context here is that /mlp/ pulled the highest viewership of any cup event in history.
Not this cup though
>What he neglects to recognize is that there were another 200+ in the Youtube
Yes because it doesn't matter much. 1.3k still doesn't come close to the record 3.4k of 2018 Winter. There's a long way to go back up.

>>381564
>not this cup
>winter '18 was bigger
Wow, aren't you >fun. Tell me, did we win winter '18? I'm having trouble recalling

>>381565
So >"the numbers" don't actually count unless /mlp/ wins?

>>381574
Are you intent on celebrating our losses?

>>381577
Speaking objectively about >"the numbers" is not "celebrating our losses."
Even if you only want to talk about our wins, 2015 and 2016 victories had almost 3k viewers.
Since I have to be clear apparently, my only point is that 4cc may be increasing in popularity again, doomers and blackpillers btfo and there will be >GIDDY and >fun on the way to FOUR STARS

>>381578
Okay, I see your point. The obvious problem is that the fandom was much bigger then, but the increasing numbers (VERY easily detectable by the obvious mass of horsefuckers in both cytube and YT chat) is encouraging and IMO more something to celebrate than previous cup numbers.

Also /pol/ pulled new viewership this autumn / winter as theme with /pol/ 4cc threads is that if team sucks, jannies will throw thread away and if team does well, thread lives. So after couple years of suck, threads stay up again.

Only 4.5 threads in (last time took 7 threads) we have an officiated and new design for the /mlp/ logo
If you're thinking "that took 4.5 threads?",... yeah it did

Here's a collage of all the submissions. Oh, but don't think this 'game' is over, now there's autistic screeching about how "the two star logo was off here, here and here, by 1-2 pixels and it should be fixed" versus "no, the 2-star logo is canon, and should stay as is, except with the 3rd star"

Here's the final, autistically precise flag
And here it is, animated
