>>381490It was a fantastic finale. The chat was so fun participating in and watching.
>>381491I can't stop watching, there's so many easter eggs, especially when the chat is flying. Its even more hilarious now!
>>381492Going 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)

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
>>381505Keep 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_LeagueI 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
>>381511Fully understandable. Upside is that /mlp/ is there to play.
>>381510>might have missed an opportunityI'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
>>381512It would take a miracle at this point, for mlpol to play
>>381513No 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.
>>381515I 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
>>381516Who 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 knowsSince 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>>381519Just 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 happyREEEEEE, 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/?
>>381524All 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_CupBut I would recommend watching replays
>>381525Yes, 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
>>381526You can adjust the chat delay using the +/- at bottom under the video.
>>381527... well don't I have egg on my face?
>>381510On 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
>>381533Dude just let it go. Sperging out about this is just silly.
>>381535You misunderstand. The sperging phase has passed, this is determination and resolve
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 YoutubeYes 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 biggerWow, aren't you >fun. Tell me, did we win winter '18? I'm having trouble recalling
>>381565So >"the numbers" don't actually count unless /mlp/ wins?
>>381574Are you intent on celebrating our losses?
>>381577Speaking 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
>>381578Okay, 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
