>>48154 On strategy, I think a 3-3-4 would be the best response to the disaster that was fsg's 2-3-5. Think about it; with 4 offenders against their 2 defenders, thats twice as many. Our 3 defenders against their 5 offenders is more than half. We would be on par with midfielders so we would have the choo-choo train that gets the ball down field intact. I think long balls are not good in PES, because the AI is clunky and doesnt know how to follow through after receiving a pass. Plus, you need to be on the highest attacking mentality for it to work.
personally I think high intensity offense is the meta, just due to the mechanics of the game engine.
I have not seen the match yet but from what i heard it was close. the Team Captain of the general /pol/ team even came over and expressed his consolence.
On one hand, im not that mad. its just a game and you have little control over it anyway. Its good that we are only second to the god emperor himself, but on the other hand, PTG is the incarnation of reddit influence on 4chan. It was just not meant to be. The meme magick could only carry us so far.
BUT on the good side, we made it to the finals, and nobody else can say that. We are now in the public mind again, as far as publicity goes this Cup was a great success. We had a grand time and I am proud of our team management.
>>48165 >>48166 Our original preset was having difficulties with /ptg/'s team we were losing 0-3 in some tests. We managed to fix it in the last 30mins so that we were ahead in some tests, but we knew it would mainly be rng. Still it was painful to watch Leslie's goal kick slide to the wrong side. But were going to work on tactics and since we will have more then 3weeks we will make a much more competent team with better cards and presets.
As far as changes I'm think of off the top of my head
>Finish the models and fix tactical stuff up obviously Add little things to some of the models like a bowtie for Leslie, a "corndog" horsecuck next to our /jp/ model's mouth, making Fireaxe's hair shorter, ect. >Better player icons like pic related instead of the low quality stuff we originally had. Removing certain players that feel like doubles rather then unique players like ponychet and annonfilly that look too much like Hoofler and Clippity Cloppity. >Adding more characters that represent memes of the board. Like a 40k edit pony since I see those a lot. Still don't know what we would name that. Making more kits that can be used. >Making edits to some finished team member to make them higher quality, like remove reddit giving it an actual reddit head, making a real griffon model for gas the griffons, ect. Change zebra life's matters name to something else because he gave away 2 goals. >Making our own field if we have time, but I still have no idea what we would use or what it would look like.
Still if your an art fag and like a custom icon for something art fag it to me and it will be a thing. Also if you have any ideas for a stadium go for it.
>>48178 I made an 'HD' version of the remove reddit logo, you might be able to use it better.
And regarding the field, I think we should have something more imperial, with our flag at the front representing the mlpol empire, and something like pic related 3 at the top from both sides.
>>48179 The ranch is cool, don't get me wrong, but I'd go with the might of the mlpol empire as our stadium.
>>48180 Does she have a name yet? Also its funny because I found 4chan because of /tg/. >>48179 Interesting thought I would love to see more concepts art of it to work with. >>48184 If anything I was thinking of a moon-base since we were banished like Luna and muh Nazi moon-base. But idk still.
>>48192 Yes, my spelling shit lol. I've been up for the last few days on train now bus going to another train. Data is spotty at best so I don't tend to correct auto. Centralia is what it tends to turn it to >>48194 Not yet. Didn't even give em a real gender yet but we can go she. Also, two stadiums? Home and away? Ranch and Moon >Drunken night made drunken art that gave me the idea in the first place
I really like idea of moon base. Could maybe have a giant NMM laughing in background and some mlpol memes. Also should add an astronaut pony to team, or just have all our characters dawn suites for home games
>>48216 Its fine lad its just suggestions we can chose later on this is just suggestions and concept time for a stadium. We will finish the models for the next line up for the next cup but I doubt we will get the stadium finished any time soon unless we get a blenderfag to dedicated his life into it. Stadium's seem very hard to make.
Even though I hate to recommend new players after the tourny just ended, I think a player themed around gr15 (or maybe even barneyfag) would be funny. Perhaps "only three days" or something along those lines.
>>48251 Players are suppose to be based around memes on the board. I'm very open to changing some of the low effort players the feel like duplicates. I'm currently thinking of getting ride of the following, if there are any objections let me know. Ponygami because Hebrewgreens is the topic but spefic, I'll write her name on the back of it though. Ponychet since his model looks exactly the same and its not really a board meme. Anonfilly because Clippity Cloppity is Anonfilly but is an snake.
So 3 slots are potentially open. I'm open to suggestions but I think one of the 40k edit ponies will make it in simply because of how often I see them posted and the OC made. But which edit gets in is still open to discussion.
But as far as a barneyfag player goes I wouldn't mind adding in Lee for memes and to trigger him seeing he's one of our players and biggest memes.
also, I'd like to congratulate you on the excellent work done in these weeks, I didn't think a team run by people who have never had to deal with PES could go so far. Congratulations, we look forward to you in the next edition of the /pol/eague.
>>48261 I just notice that quite a few this boards users get frequently banned from 4chan for breaking gr15. Plus there where those gr15 defence trolls sometime ago, and while this was still on /qa/ some people went on rants about how shit gr15 was.
>>48370 >>48371 We sorta already have a pixel canvas player he just wasn't able to play because he was our third GK and he was always lower then one of the other GKs. I hopefully next time around we can use him.
>>48362 Its bound to happen again, next time we will win. We've just been going through our cards and now we know why Praise Kek Scored. Zebra Lives Matters had really shitty cards, and in fact so too did most of our backline. Were fixing it now and like I said re-thinking our tactical set up so that we don't have blunders like last time.
>>48401 >>48404 Like I have always said I love seeing more OC especially for the cup. Go for it just make it square so I can fit the entire thing in a 128 by 128 icon.
>>48193 Just transferred over the remove reddit image. Look bretty gud.
>and now I'm questioning why you suggested this used to watch Buddhism Hotline a while ago, Donating callers would often play this song along with "Im an Alabama Nigger"
>>48797 If I end up using him he will probably be a CB replacing ponychet. Because of that I don't really think he will ever score but he will do an autistically large amount of defending.
>>48806 This guy gets it! So far though I only have 2 down, a 40k edit pony which is tbd by which ever looks the best when I go through the archives or if someone submits something good. That and the LeeGR15. I'll use ICE if she gets a real name.
>>48813 if I may make a suggestion on the 40K edit, if there's any images out there of NMM in space marine armor, how about NMM the Betrayer, kind of like Kharn the Betrayer?
You know, I've been thinking about team intro in style of Justice League animated series s1 intro. Like ponies walking against the sunset. Same music as in JL. Now to sort the ponies: Batman - ICE Superman - Aryanne Green Lantern - anon filly Hawkgirl - ponymoot(?) and maybe Syriana riding barell bomb next to her Martian Manhunter - clippity cloppity Flash - Fireaxe WW - don't know, maybe Leslie Fair?
Intro is short, so there might be no time for other players, here how it goes:
>>48979 Next year for the cup intro we will use that jojo song vid on the blimps, canes said he would surprise me with what he put into our part for the intro while he was asking the other teams what they wanted in.
Still I agree we should have our own hype vid for next time around.
>>48820 Haven't seen a pic of that but if you want to try a crack at it go for it. I was thinking of a Luna or Celestia edited since I've seen a few of them and they seem appropriate.
Working on a shop atm. I've decided I'd like to use Luna for the banishment aspect of our site. I tend to use Hours for her, but what should be used? I thought about Fulgrim-Pre Heresy for this, or even using Mangus.
>>49229 I'm assuming you meant "Horus" when you wrote "hours" This might sound a little weird, but in someways, the Godemperor himself is a good parallel. He was an active human being, until, Christ-like, he sacrificed himself for the salvation of mankind, rendering himself in a permanent catatonic state, sort of like a banishment.
>>49230 Yes, auto correct and high atm. I also thought about using him, but I use Atlas for him atm or Celestia. It can be done no problem though if it's what the community wants
I guess I'll just give a weekly update till we plan out our next game. For starters I'd like to redesign the kits just a tad bit. Change one or two things when it comes to design and add some pony art on it like on the /mlp/ kit. Its very /pol/ centrick like someone pointed out while we were voting on them I just couldn't find a place to put the ponies on them before but now I have an idea. I'll work on them and show them off when I finish.
As far as blender goes I've made some progress. I've finally figured out how to get the colors over on the models that were left uncolored on the team before. Pic related Aryanne will be ready for the next time we need her. I've started working on Fireaxe and making her helmet look better since all black isn't bad looking but I'd rather fix up the colors. We will be making new models for a few of the players but I'll talk about that as soon as I finish with editing the ones that we already have finished.
I've also finished all the portraits in pic related. As you can see they've all finished up besides Ponychet which has a placeholder piece of art till we get something Someone is making art for it so don't worry. If you would like to see some custom OC or just some other pic or pony get into the team other then everyone listed let me know and if I like it or lots of other people demand it I can change it.
Finally tactics have also been slowly worked on. I'll keep it secret so that when we have our next game we can surprise everyone with what we have. But I will let you all know we have been working on it and have made a good amount of work ironing out some of the problems we had last time with our players.
>>51852 That was the backup. Main went down awhile ago then my backup refused to let me pull anything. I didnt get to put them on a USB yet. I hate this damn week.
>>51863 >meme responsibility I should probably back-up my files too, now that I think of it.. I outta move all the downloads on my Chromebook to drive: maybe it'll run faster then. I'm just paranoid about trusting my shit to other people, like Jewgle.. The last time I trusted something to cloud, I lost a book report that I had worked on for three weeks..
>>51865 You can get free storage on Mega.nz and OneDrive and others if you want to get away from Google, or you want to have an extra backup location. But I fully understand you. And I should get my backup routines sorted out myself.
>>51847 D-does that mean no custom shops... >>51855 Also don't every worry about the team saves being deleted. Over 5 people have it saved and it is backed up on so even if my saves were to be deleted I wouldn't have to start all over.
thats great to know. you should always have more than 1 leg to stand on.
btw as a general advice towards our player model designs i would suggest to "de-cancerfy" the models, as in, make them not look cheap or game-crash inducing.
the infinite air noose of remove reddit comes to my mind or the flat picture of windmill of friendship. why not turn the noose into some sort of rope tie and replace the heart picture on windmill of friendship with either an actual heart shaped object or a wooden windmill knight helmet.
>>51897 >the infinite air noose of remove reddit comes to my mind or the flat picture of windmill of friendship. why not turn the noose into some sort of rope tie and replace the heart picture on windmill of friendship with either an actual heart shaped object or a wooden windmill knight helmet.
I guess I might as well update you on the player models in that case. To begin with we are fixing a lot of the quickly last minute made models. Remove Reddit and windmill both come to mind. We are also working on trying to make some of the other characters look more unique. Think fixing Fireaxe's helmet, adding pic related to Leslie and adding a >corndog horsecock to our weeb along with removing characters that seemed like doubles such as Ponygami and Hootler. We are also making never before seen custom models for Gas the Griffons and King Richard the Cute Crusader. Then finally we will find ways to make custom hair for our human players and we will decide if we want to keep the /pol/ hats on those that currently have them once we see how they look.
Note this will take a lot of time since we aren't rushing it. The next /pol/eague isn't till next off season so we have a while to go. However, when we finish because we will finish before the next /pol/eague I have plans Something that might involve another team that has now been babied.
Alright lads so far I've managed to get quite a bit of work done over the last few days. I've managed to do a lot of cleaning up in on the models and fix things that look pretty off. But thats not important enough to make a post.
So far what I've done and need some feedback about is I've put the hat on Clippity Cloppity in pic related. Was it better before or do you like how it is now? Other then that I've finished adding it remove reddits custom skin all he needs now is the head Ubie's working on, finished Barneyfag only need to add his custom feet, and I Ponychet is finished unless you all think he needs something.
>>54227 nice and the heads look the correct size too (at least on clippity cloppity). I do think the hat looks odd next to her black hair, and she was never explicitly a nazi. Perhaps she could wear a MAGA hat instead? It looks more like its akwardly resting on her hair rather than being secured to her head.
>>54246 Just going off of pics I've seen here. We've debated keeping it on or taking it off so we settled on asking you all. Also I'll try and see if I can get it to look more secure on her head.
So I had typed out like 5 whole paragraphs but my Firefox crashed because of some bug or another. It was gay and in no way am I going to be able to write up everything I just did again. So I guess I'll give you all the tl;dr on what I wrote.
We've been watching the cup testing against the cup teams and optimizing the team tactic including making a preset that should be able to deal with r/T_D/ptg/ and /fasg/. For the next few weeks I'll be posting an update every Monday and Thursday about the new models we've been working on since I doubt any team member will look the same by the end of this. I'll also mention a few other changes along the way like dropping a few things about tactics along the way but won't spoil too much since I know other managers look at these threads Hi again Shlomo and Canes. I'll start on Thursday and when we finish looking through the new models I'll end it all by showing off all the new kits. Talk to you again on Thursday.
>>57460 I did, not going to go into too much specifics about the team we are currently using. Pic related is the /ptg/ manager he's also one of the /pol/ managers. As you can see I'd rather not go too specific about tactics here. There are other places we can discus this if your want...
That or you can just wait for more hints later on.
>>57523 Well, probably you're right, tactics should never be public. BUT I'd like to remind you that the next time we'll probably face each other will be with PES18 (hopefully).
>>57542 Yeah probably true assuming everything works out alright but I have plans to face another team before the next /pol/eaguge and I'd like to also keep our tactics a secret for them.
Alright, so some of these players I don't quite get, but I'm also not a weeb or anything, so maybe that's my problem? Anyway, I can't help but notice that we don't have anyone really CMC related, and that just seem like such ripe pickings.
>>57599 I renamed our crusader to be more CMC friendly. Don't worry we have one now and I have plans for its model its going to look good like most of our DMFs. Pic related is him in the last /pol/eague. He already looks pretty different in the new version but you'll have to wait a bit for him since his model isn't finished yet.
>>57603 Well, there's King Richard there, who I assume is kinda like Ponychet, yea? But what I really don't get is Tenshi and Hebrew Greens. I know there's like a Shining Armor corn dog thing from way back in the day, and maybe Hebrew greens is like money, but also >greens But I can only speculate on those, I have no clue. Ponygami I can only imagine is a tribute to everyone's friends over at /po/?
>>57610 Yeah don't worry those things were from our founding. Ponygami and Hebrew greens were both from papercraft or ponygami where we tried to occupy /po/ since its so slow. Didn't work out but we made lots of origami poniers the favorite of which was one made of money which was named hebrew greens. Tenshi was with our war with /qa/. After the elections /qa/ was so btfo because they kept telling /pol/ that Thrackerzod WOULD LOSE but when he won they let /jp/ occupy their board because of how btfo they were. So when we came to ask for the mods to give us back /mlpol/ we had a war with them. King Richard was a name recommended by some crusaderfag for our crusader. Its not his name anymore I changed it right after the game mostly because I like its new name now a lot better.
I guess we will start with a quick update on things Labris and I have been finishing up. We streamlined the team and reorganized the entire thing so editing will be less of a fucking headache. Its a big thing for us but should be minimal for you all. Also we've been testing and working on our tactics overall more. Its all been streamlined and should now be much easier to fix and figure out where we need to improve for our next match.
Now lets talk about our team captain. Aryanne is and always will be the defining pony of /mlpol/. She leads by example being the true leader that she is always in the front ready to score some goals and rip and rape the opposition. However, last game we had was very embarrassing mostly because her 1 her model wasn't finished and 2 other then game 1 she didn't score. Sure she tied the game with the 90+5 which was goldly and reminded me of a classic /mlp/ >rape like game but overall her performance and model were both plain and unfinished. Now on the other hand I think we have something very good to show off.
Pic one is Aryanne's model during the /pol/eauge, and as you can see it looks as if somepony dropped a load of flour on her. Pic two is her new model which has been colored in and is a fitting model for the next match. The third pic is her player icon.
Now I need to ask you all because I have a few options one what I can slap on the back of her uniform. Her old team number was 14 but now she will take up her rightful spot being Aryanne Hoofler and will be 88. Last /pol/eauge she had NAZI PONY which looked nice but I've been thinking we can do better. I've come up with two new alternatives one being WHITE DEATH and the other being HOOFLER.
Let me know which one you prefer and the first one two get 3 replies will be used on the team.
>>58271 Hoofler makes sense. Last names go on the back of the jersey near the butt like on Bundesliga jerseys. The team name goes on the back top of the jersey, like where last names go on american sports teams.
Also do you all want continued updates? I felt like they were getting to blog posts tier. I could surprise you all and just make a bunch of quick updates before the next game along with along with asking you all what you think of something. That or I can do scheduled updates like I was.
That is for you to decide. Personally, I prefer scheduled updates when some news has amassed but in the context of the thread a blog-ish format like this may be better.
>>59913 If it is going to be scheduled updates it will mostly be about player model edits and feedback about their new designs, number, back names, icons, ect. If it is me just posting them all at the last second I'll just spam out new pics of the models and ask if I need to change anything before the next game happens.
>>62461 Any part you want to start it at? I would be okay with giving another CMF a alt horn. So far we have 3 alt horns and I'd like a rivalry horn with /ptg/.
Also if you want to suggest a rivalry goal horn against /ptg/ or a rivalry anthem I'm all ears. I have a few ideas if no one else can get something but would like to hear from you all first.
Quick status update. I've shown off a lot of the models I've worked on but I'm going to now list off which one's I've done what with.

If you want to see any of the models currently ask and I can show it off otherwise I'll just post it all right before the next game we have. Starting to plan it out I'll update you on who what when where, when I get it ironed out.
>>64507 So quick questionnot really. I've been having problems thinking about what to make the model for clopped look like. Last game he was just a copy paste of >rape's model. But I want him to look more unique this time around. I've been brainstorming ideas on what to do for a while now but can't come up with anything I really like myself.
Labris and Ubie have both made suggestions saying to go for whats in the pic for clopped so either make it a blue humanoid face with /qa/ written on it, or make it a humanoid face with Aryanne's hoof being held onto the models head. My original idea was to make it a human that would look like he's either been clopped or was going to do the clopping.
If any of you have an idea, images, or input into I would appropriate it since I've hit creativity block for this model and can't chose for myself.
>>66987 What are you guys good for is really the question. I think we could potentially make history with a good blender. Hold on, I'll bust out the big guns for this one…
So maybe you could do something like pic related: perch a pegasus poner just above him in the air, so that he could hover there with his hoof wrapped around his head in the classic CLOPPED pose. Or you could use Luftkrieg or something. Alternatively, maybe just make the player a pony with a leash in one hand attached to a static human that follows them around the pitch on all fours at just the right distance so as not to obscure things too much.
On the other extreme, you could always just give him a flat head with the picture on it.
>>66987 Oh! Or give him a JFMSU model. Like a blue dude with /qa/ on his face and then the hair. Probably a lot more doable, though obviously I like the other two ideas better.
Don't know what the SDK/ModKit/whatever looks like for the game, but I do use blender, so if you have any issues you need help solving I can maybe lend a hand.
>>66988 >>66989 I like both of these and I think you've managed to break my creativity block. Thanks anon have a Ponks!
>>66998 We use blender, if you want to help the discord link is here https://discord.gg/T34zFc. Its pretty inactive besides us who are working on the team which is mostly just Ubie, Larbris and I at this point with a few others posting once in a while but it gets the job done. We always would appreciate more help especially with blender!
>>67169 I missed out on the post due to the shit happening in Texas with Harvey. (Got some friends there, not there myself.) If you drop another link I'll try to get in this time.
