/retro/ - Y2K

Took me a bit to find you guys since the board isn't named /y2k/ as of now. Personally, I've always considered 1996 onward to be part of the /y2k/ aesthetic, because the whole scare was building up over those years.

>>179 (OP) 
Count us in.

I actually have some good ideas for anthems and mascots and such.

Roy (the guy pictured in the banner) can be our mascot

I've got some good ideas for 90's and 2000's tunes we could have as the team's anthem

>>180
Also, we can keep the flame shirt design for the uniforms that the old /y2k/ had.

Our team's anthem should be changed to something different, since we're covering both the 90's and 2000's.

I'm suggesting "Blue" by Eiffel 65, since it's one of those early meme songs that came out near the end of the 90's, but was still popular in the early 2000's. 

Song came out in 1999, but still got a good bit of airplay in 2000 and 2001

>>180

Alternately, "All Star" by Smash Mouth can be the team's anthem and "Blue" can be the goal horn.

>>181 
>>182 
>>183 
We'll be keeping everything major that was set up before, so you'll definitely have the flame shirts. If you do want something minor, like the anthem changed, it can be done no problem.

>>184
Well, then I think the anthem should be changed to "All Star"

Hey guys, /icup/ here with a question on how we're going to handle the next iteration of the Infinity Cup ( https://anon.cafe/icup/ )
We're trying to poll whether certain boards are interested in playing in the cup, or if there's some specific team that you'd like to see play. If you want to, please answer or add your own answer to the poll in https://poal.me/6x3j1u

This is spam. Ignore.

I've just checked out their catalog and it seems they'll be having another go at the competition soon(ish). We used to play as /y2k/ back in the ole cup, but I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in this, at least before I give them the word to add our team. I mean, I will probably watch it regardless, but I thought it might have been weird to tell them to add a team just for one person.

I remember rooting for it, shame their formation sucked and they got rekt. However this implies that the three of us that check this board once a day, if that, will be willing to make a competent team.

>>2233
>>2234
Now how does Infinity Cup actually work?

>>2235
heavily modded PES soccer where each team is a board with custom jerseys/anthems/goalhorns/models compete in a bracket match to be ICUP king.

>>2234
We can just use the OG team and change the formation a bit. I frankly know very little about soccer, but from watching the cup, it seems to me that matches can go either way even with highly popular teams.

>>2233
I would love to watch it, just don't change any players or songs, because that y2k team was fucking perfection.

Hello /retro/,

ICUP 7 is still being worked on, and progress is still steady, but we need your help. If you have a good PC enough to run PES 2017 and to stream it, or if you are willing to commentate, please contact us at anon.cafe/icup/. Currently we have three potential streamers, but the more the merrier.

In regards to your team, it is currently valid. For extra fun, I recommend uploading portrait images for each player (to replace the empty icons in the Game Plan view) here.

They will be square (transparency encouraged) and about 75x75px in game, so consider pictures that will look good when downsized.

You can also try and find 3D models in case we have extra time to add them.

Finally, if you are capable of doing 3D modelling, creating OC, working on the wiki or just helping in any way possible feel free to reach out as well.

>>2435
I'm too dumb and lazy to do any of this shit but at least our logo should be updated >>192

>>2454
Do you have the template for it as well as anything else in there? I could do it quickly.

After a disastrous draw stream that started an hour late, we now have the group stage draw.

I'm not seeing any of the predicted rivalries. Group B appears to be the Group of Death.

Here is the test/draw stream, be warned that it starts off horribly due to a missing noise reducer on the microphone.

Fair warning, this is a PeerTube instance, so if the P2P bothers you then click My Settings on the left, then unselect "Help share videos being played" (you don't need to login). This isn't necessary for the stream, just the replay.

Comfiest group, nice. I don't care about winning I just hope we will score some goals to hear those stupid goalhorns.

Currently we're looking for a host, a co-commentator and some 3D assets/someone capable of making some. Even just cleaning up a bit of the wiki would help us out immensely.
