Mentelegen. Alot has happened. But quick to the point I'm here to broach the subject of the Mlpol 4cc team. Champions of 4/7 /pol/eagues, it's clear who's house that is. But is that what the Fuhrer would want? Nay nay.
So. I want to hear about every goddamn 4chan cup or who thefuckever invitational, tournament, and degenerate excuse to sit around a monitor and fap watch divegrass!
No, but seriously, Mlpol qualifies for the friendlies and a whole bunch more, and we're gonna play this time! e\_/e

Which you needs subs on the bench to do. Hence why I am suggesting adding subs for an SS and CF at minimum, even if they are shit, it's better than literally nothing.

For all the planning and testing, PES is like Texas hold-em, where what cards are on the table decides MOST EVERYTHING, at which point it is on the player to play the hand to their ability.

To which I reemphasize that any player can be swapped, moved, and reconfigured as needed. These aren't actual people with proclivities and preferrences, it's a video game

Even to the point that you could for example just zap a goalkeeper with the Hax and he's now magically according to the game no longer a goalkeeper but actually a striker (with the game acting properly as if this is the case)?

As it is a videogame player positions and how they act in the game are hard coded things so if you want the game's AI to work correctly you need players that are actually meant to be in those positions according to its code.

PES is a videogame, and as it is a videogame it follows hard coded rules. Those rules include the game's conception of what position a player is supposed to be playing on the field, how they act, what sort of stats they have, and so on. Thus if you were to put a goalkeeper in the striker position, they would probably suck balls at it compared to a lower rated but actually supposed to be there sub.

Are you even looking at the roster? Derpy isn't even a player, and in order to make her a player we would need express permission from /mlp/ because she's their GoalKeeper so fat chance of that.

Have you even watched the 4chan cup? Honestly? I appreciate that you're trying to be all serious about this, but I have to emphasize that this is not a sports game, it's a meme game

I gave winter 2020 finals a rewatch last night and god fucking dammit what a riot it was, the bitching from sita, the horsefuckers all cheering for /pol/, the management having no final boss ready and shlomo just deciding to throw /mlpol/ in there last minute, the /mlp/ 4cc thread blessing his heart and his retirement and shitting on their own managers, the all around /mlpol/ shilling from boris and the commentators
Damn I miss the 4cc, I haven't laughed that much alone in so long

It's not about trying to make /mlp/ happy, it's about showing respect to the /mlp/ management and having good relations. Several of them effectively glided the team to victory with little-to-no assistance from us, it would be a dick move to put them in a position of having to explain to their fanbase - cuz board isn't an option - why we're stealing oneof their most prized players

First off that even if you wanted to be a dick about it, there's no need to shit over noteperson when he's an organizer of the cup
Secondly, that's not how the band rolls, we comfy in here, the times of sita are long gone (I'm making shit up, I haven't watched in 5 years lmao, but take my word for it)
You don't put derpy on /mlpol/ because /mlp/ has her and there's nothing /pol/ish about her, you put moonmare on /mlpol/ because it's in character, try and think of it more as a macroscale circlejerk of sorts and you'll get the right vibe off it
Lurk moar though, watch thel eague (tm) and thec up (tm)

And just to put a neat little bow on any further discussion of hijacking derpy or any of /mlp/'s roster. Not only would it be blatantly disrespectful to the degree of dishonor TO many people, but it would be SUCH a shameful display in front of the 4chan cup community that we could be rightfully uninvited from a variety of cup events going forward that - outside of a mandate from the site to not participate in - we WILL be playing in.
This is not a negotiation on that.

Ninjaz, there is a lot of stuff you have absolutely zero clue about as far as PES or the 4chan cup and its associated invitationals.
I would start with reading this.
>https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/New_Manager_Advice
Second, I'd highly advise you look into how a 4cc "autopilot" plays. Please calm down before managing, I recommend you not believe the memes regarding tactical changes and testing saying they don't matter. PES is RNG, but actions you take can drastically alter that, especially outside of and including the meme choices like "gegen +2".

Regarding players, you don't need any kind of "express permission" to utilize players as long as the player is relevant to your team in some way or another, and in fact with some invitational teams, some players are repeated on multiple teams or are there because the manager wanted it. Both /pol/ and /biz/ have Bogdanoff players on their teams, for a 4chan cup example, although they use different names. In the Friendship Association Games Invitational that /mlp/ runs, Rainbow Dash has her own team and is also a player on half the other teams; I believe she's represented on 8 different teams.
Invitational in the context of the 4chan Cup means Informal, which means outside of the 4chan cup proper. If Derpy is actually relevant to /mlpol/ as a meme - let's say someone avatarfagging as Derpy goes and hacks the soyjakker site, and this becomes a staple of spamming derpy on the soyjak site - then there is no obstacle and no one CAN or WILL stop you from using her. /mlpol/ is an Invitational team, which means, again, informality.
Invitational tournaments and teams are not bound by any rules that govern the 4chan cup aside from the one regarding reserving time slots, and are ruled by the organizer who can dictate whatever he wants. Getting your team to play, in many cases, means either being contextually aligned - for example, /e-s/, an electroswing music team, would fit in a /mu/ tournament, but would not fit in a /k/ organized tournament - or relies on having built a rapport with the organizer, or having signed up for a limited number of entry slots as would be the case with, say, /ag/ League, which is a nearly no-holds-barred entry invitational.
/mlpol/ as a team is an invitational team, which, again, means informality. If an invitational tournament organizer doesn't want ponies in his tournament, he can simply say no to ponies.
Sometimes "official" 4chan cup teams can play in unofficial invitational tournaments. But unofficial invitational teams - /mlpol/ - cannot play in "official" 4chan cup matches, which are reserved for 4chan board teams.

Try to lurk in the 4chan cup a bit more, or rewatch the old matches.

For starters, I used to be an editor for the wiki years ago; I don't know who fucked with the early history section, but that's not what it USED to say. For two, I'm OP of this thread. For 3, I've been watching the 4chan cup since Summer '17; if you aren't shitposting in chat, you're doing it wrong.
As far as cross utilization of players, sure it's technically permissible, but just 'doing it' without at least some sort of dialogue with /mlp/ management is rude. Then there's the fact that there's a whole lot about the team that's out of date, needing some sort of revision - again the wiki - before we start annexing players.
Of course testing and all that is important, but we have 4 stars, the testing has been done and on that we can stand on the shoulders of giants.
>official
>4chan
Where is this 4chan of which you speak? If you want to get technical, WE should be looking at running our OWN invitational, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Its worth experimenting on and testing. I still haven't gotten PES working properly yet, to where I can do 4cc teams let alone Mlpol, but I have every intention to start first by experimenting with player substitution versus position change. Thats part of why I'm not in a hurry to change much especially right away, as if these ideas should be implemented it will be after testing to vet their efficacy

Oh sure by all means experiment. I was just suggesting changes, not necessarily a hard outline of what the team *must* be. As I brought up yesterday I think, in the subs there are 4 slots that could potentially be something else - LB, RB, CB, DMF with the first 2 being the first you should consider swapping, the CB and DMF aren't terrible but are also potential changes for something else. You can work from there. Just remember that position is important and players suck donkey balls when you try to place them in other positions (the further away from their normal position, the more they suck generally).

Excellent!
So, I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you and everyone. My only qualifications for manager are that I'm an insufferable asshole who has zero qualms with telling anyone and everyone what's-what. I almost got myself kicked (maybe did?) from the 4chan cup discord for roasting them for being unwilling to mention Mlpol as a bunker during the recent Babby cup qualifiers.
If changes are desired for the team, let's make them.

Fireaxe's OC had a split from the site some years ago. Fireaxe AS an OC belongs (sorry, fag) to Mlpol. Personally, I'd like to see a Horsepussy GK, but I don't wanna change anything without approval from the board. If it ain't broke, don't fuck with it.

Further to the point of potentially retire-able players, I'd suggest Bat Soup, Honk Ponk, and Tarrant Chan. No disrespect to any, they all were and are very significant memes for their time, but of the roster I would have trouble suggesting anypone else, as the rest are more or less legacy players
