We might be joining this thing,
we still need players, kits,
and basically everything.
Hm, there might be a problem with /pol/'s political team. How about finding an alternative name on the wiki?
Like /poly/ or /pol//lyr/ or something like that.

That's not the board's name though. Why can't we use /pol/s page? Their team is dead anyway.

Sorry, I think I worded that wrong. You can name yourself /pol/, but we'd rather keep the legacy team as well. So for example:
http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//pol/
Is right wing /pol/'s page, while yours could be:
http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki//pol//
Replies: >>1668
>>1665
Why can't the /pol/ page be renamed to /fascist/ since they hired all the old /pol/ players anyway? Then we could use the name.

Possible list of players:
William Butler Yeats
Edgar Allan Poe
T. S. Eliot
Jalal ad Din Rumi
Robert Burns
Kahlil Gibran
Beowulf
I'd suggest naming our stadium "Flower Garden" after Saadi's poetry collection because it's a nice name.

I'd instead recommend using his email: SKF@cock.li
(the old @8chan.co address seems to be having problems)
>>1670
I can find a way to make it work, I think. I'd have to do something to differentiate the old /pol/ references and calls in the wiki from your new /pol/. I don't believe merging them with /fascist/ is necessarily the right call, just from an outsider point of view, *and* I don't know if /fascist/ would even be okay with that.

>>2207
I am happy to help out with a strategy if you give me some thematic advice. Different strategies are better against different teams so don't worry so much about picking a 'perfect strategy' and instead have some fun while keeping it sane (or not).

What kind of core strategy is more suitable: conservatively trying to pass the ball to team-mates to build up an attack, or making risky dramatic plays?
Do you want to try and keep formation, or should players be more fluid?

I second the erisian's opinion on your kits. There's something about that shade of red, very stately. Historic. He's also on the nose about strategy. It can be developed from simple statements about how you want the team to play. Whether you actually trust an opponent's manager to draw it up for you though... I leave that up to you 

Proof it's me below.

We should refer to some stylistic devices used in poetry, instead of just poets and figures from poetic literature.
I wanna replace Valmiki, Rumi, and Burns with these players:
>Woof! Pow! Bazoing!
>She sells sea shells by the sea shore
>I am bus
(They're referring to onomatopoeia, alliteration, and metre, respectively)
Also I'd prefer a different anthem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5C6X9vOEkU

>>2058
Here's a formation in 3-2-3-2
It's got defenders, attackers, and midfielders too.
How shall we use them, my poetic friends?
What tactics will make us win in the end?
How do we defend and how do we attack?
How to pass the ball and how to win it back?
So many choices, so many questions!
Fellow fans, do share your conceptions.
Let's deliver games of turns and twists,
and put our board on top of the list.

Poetry is an art form, its beauty lies in finding creative ways of using language to evoke meanings beyond the literal. Similarly our game plan shall transcend the rigid ins and outs of divegrass tactics to deliver something greater. We should treat our strategy as an expression of what we represent: Art.

We want to be fluid, dangerous and unpredictable. We also want to be guarded and choose our plays very carefully. Based on that, here's my idea of our strategy:
>Counter Attack
>Long Pass
>Center
>Flexible
>Support range: 7

>All-out Defence
>Wide
>Conservative
>Defensive Line: 5
>Compactness: 3

>False No. 9
>Wing Rotation
>Tight Marking
Replies: >>2230 >>2231 >>2252

Actually  would rather have short pass and support range around 4. Otherwise we're just gonna kick the ball into the aether on offense. Other than that this is good. I'll be thinking about the cards and styles of our poets.

Poetry is doing extraordinary things with ordinary means. Translating that concept into our playing style is a challenge, but can be done in a certain way.

>>2225
Yeah we can do that.

>>2230
Here's some cards:
>Rostam (g)
Position: Center Forward
Style: Goal Poacher
Cards: Long Ranger, Heading, Acrotabic Finishing, Low Punt Trajectory, First Time Shot, Long Range Drive
>Väinämöinen (s)
Position: Second Striker
Style: Creative Playmaker
Cards: Trickster, Scissors Feint, Flip Flap, Rabona
>Ulysses (b)
Position: Attacking Midfielder
Style: Dummy Runner
Cards: Early Cross, Low Lofted Pass, Fighting Spirit
>Beowulf (b)
Position: Right Midfielder
Style: Box-to-Box
Cards: Long Ball Expert, Low Lofted Pass, Fighting Spirit
>TS Eliot
Position: Left Midfielder
Style: Hole Player
Cards: Incisive Run, Acrobatic Finishing
>She sells sea shells by the sea shore
Position: Defensive Midfielder
Style: The Destroyer
Cards: Man Marking, Track Back
>Woof! Pow! Bazoing!
Position: Defensive Midfielder
Style: The Instigator
Cards: Speeding Bullet, Outside Curler
>Vergil
Position: Left back
Style: Defensive Fullback
Cards: Acrobatic Clear, Heel Trick
>Rudyard Kipling
Position: Right back
Style: Defensive Fullback
Cards: Acrobatic Clear, Heading
>JW Goethe
Position: Center back
Style: Extra Frontman
Cards: Speeding Bullet, Fighting Spirit
>I am bus
Position: Goalkeeper
Style: Defensive Goalkeeper
Cards: GK Long Throw

These should look the same on the bench, except for the medals:
>Manas
Position: Centre Forward
Style: Fox in the Box
Cards: First Time Shot, Acrobatic Finishing
>Jangar
Position: Second Striker
Style: Creative Playmaker
Cards: Heading, Knuckle Shot
>Martín Fierro
Position: Attacking Midfielder
Style: Hole Player
Cards: Long Ranger, Low Punt Trajectory
>HP Lovecraft
Position: Right Midfielder
Style: Hole Player
Cards: Long Ranger, Low Punt Trajectory
And that's it. Oh man, really looking forward to how this is gonna play out.

I also had the idea of adding "The Curtains Were Blue" as a player, based on that meme of english class text interpretations. Maybe we can replace TS Eliot with it.

How about a haiku-inspired kit? The white would contrast with the other two kits.

Booring.
I like the haiku idea. But is that gonna look too different from the paper one? Maybe we could just add a little bit of haiku to that one.
how about the minecraft bookshelf texture?
Well, /pol/ is about to be deleted. That's it for this team, I guess.
