/icup/ - Inter-Board Competitions

I don't get it, what is it that you're actually proposing there?

>>2545
My point is that of these following top rated boards for users, pph or generally strong sense of community, there's several that are either not represented or represented through different means. Concentrating on supporting these would allow for a funnier time for everyone involved, unlike what happens when you let just a two-people-board run a team up to the finals unopposed.

I get what you're saying, but the cup exists mainly because of autists trying to push their own agenda or board into stardom. It wouldn't be the same without /christian/, but /christian/ now is basically just a few holdouts on our bunker and the bulk of them stayed over 8kun, without ever being notified of the cup.
Now, rather than that I think it would be great if we could reach out older 8kunners (jc) to come and watch the cup when it comes around.

Frankly I'd rather keep the current format, but add in a clause that for a team to participate at least a modicum of work must be put into its presentation. Sort of like, add at least a custom model or contribute to the board a bit.
It would make it so that boards like /eris/ or /otter/, which don't have a strong presence on the webring but are important parts of the cup's identity keep on staying in the nominees, but boards with very little effort put into them like /lang/ or /art/ don't clog the entire system with boring teams for boring boards.

>>2546
Two separate /v/s would pose the same problem as the two separate /pol/s, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I would love to see a 8/v/ vs z/v/ scrim match.
Other than that I'm completely on board for pushing hard for advertising the cup to those boards.
>>2548
Speak for yourself, /lang/ is comfy. /japan/ and /dup/ make no sense, given their viwership.

>>2544 (OP) 
>>2546
We COULD solve this problem just by going around and asking, you know. Just as it used to be done long ago.
We just need someone to bite the bullet and create some sort of thread or poll to garner interest in the cup.

>>548
>but boards with very little effort put into them like /lang/ or /art/
which have custom models, custom banners, made OC, kits, anthems, players, strats, and are two of the few teams which actually made roster pages?
I still don't get it.

Yeah I don't fucking get this either, he's probably nitpicking because his board didn't get invited or something. Either way, I casted my own votes.

>>2546
>>2552
Based. Spread this to other boards.

>>2552
So was this made by a rigger or just a random anon? Will it have any significance?

>>2554
Don't just do it without asking. We're already dealing with last invitefag's bullshit.

>>2544 (OP) 
The last thing I want to see is our comfy cup turn into pseudo-4CC where it's literally the same generic major boards like /v/, /a/, /tv/, /pol/, /b/ flooding a chat to death.
I also don't want to see low-effort and dead teams with no viewers, so renewal should be necessary.

This isn't a popularity contest. More active teams are great, but optimizing to PPH is a travesty and in fact an inverse of sense of community.

>>2553
this

>>2544 (OP) 
We should see what SKF has to say before proceeding with any of this, but I think it's already pretty much underway so w/e, casted my vote.

This, 4CC is so fucking boring because all the main boards just get through because of PPH rather than if the board is any interesting, at least the bowls with board-specific teams are funny.

why don't you at least use the existing threads instead of creating new ones?

>>2559
Seconding this request, stop spamming

/ SHIRT IRONING / GANG PRIDE WORLD WIDE

If the riggers don't add /shirtironing/ as a team the ICUP is fake and/or gay

>>2564
Yeah that would be pretty wrinkled

>>2565
ooooooooooooooo

>>2562
>>2564
>>2565
I unironically want to see this as a team now.  Make your thread and start choosing players.

>>2575
Absolute state of the cup

>>2576
killjoy

>>2577
If you don't think this faggot shit is what's killing your viewership along with the rigging and e-celeb aspirations  I don't know what you're thinking.  Maybe get your guys to stop posting fake interest on boards that told you to fuck off already.

>>2586
>along with the rigging and e-celeb aspirations 
wot
you havin a laff sunshine?

>>2586
I think I found out who made the / SHIRT IRONING / entry, and it's zzzchan's /b/. Could be fun if we had them use that name to refer to their team actually, the last /b/ team being implemented was from 8chan prime.

>>2591
They did start the joke, but they already bothered to come up with a few players for an actual team, so if they make the full thing it should definitely be its own team.

>silly poll made for the sake of understanding who wants to watch what team
>suddenly at the center of an inter-board conspiracy
what sorts of hellish autism have we unleashed, friends

>>2603
beats the everloving shit outta me lad I just made the damn poll expecting the people coming on /icup/ to vote, not the entire fucking universe, this is a /cow/nspiracy if I ever saw one

>>2604
So you made the poll and someone else started spamming the webring with it? That sucks.

>>2607
Pretty much. I think I'll go about it in some other way, to gather which teams have the most support.
