>copied from /g/

Good day /g/. Having followed the 4chan Cup intently, I thought it might be fun to do a version of our own. However, I don't own PES and I'd like a bit more realism than that, so I propose something different. Every board puts forward a team of 22 soccer players and I put them into a modded Football Manager 2012 save to have the first ever Ponychan Premier Division - a collection of 18 teams battling out for the Championship. I'd be in charge of making each of the teams, and the running the simulation every Saturday and posting the updated results. The winners, by the end of the season, will be crowned Ponychan Champions, and if it picks up enough steam we could even make a lower division.

Post ideas if you would like this see this.

We already tried to set up a PES cup of our own, but there wasn't enough interest.

I mean, not in the style of a PES cup. Like a 38 or something game-long season where every team starts equal and then final position is based on Football Manager's interesting RNG method of letting teams win when they shouldn't. I'm doing it for 4Chan at the moment to see if it can work.

How complex would the team rosters be? Is a list of player names all we need, or is it necessary with more details (descriptions, height/weight, playing style, things like that?) for each player?

I could easily amass a list of names within two or three days if I can get help from the guys I made a PES team with last year, assuming that nothing else is needed.

38 matches is a bit long, as I would be greatly surprised if you can get 18 boards to submit a completed team (assuming it's boards and not individuals that are in charge of making the teams), and a ten-month season would be far too long (I was thinking more like four or four-and-a-half months to fit in two seasons a year).

You can provide 22 names, and their positions, but the rest will all be done by default (default 70kg, all stats the same, default 5' 11") unless specified otherwise. Stats will all be levelled off at 10 out of 20 in every stat to give everyone a fair chance. As long as I got even 6 teams I could get it to work, and then enter the Ponychan League into a cup alongside the 4chan League, which is nearly finished.

Sounds excellent so far, but I have some more questions.

Are teams submitted by individuals, groups or boards?

And how are the naming conventions/rules? Is it based on memes á la the 4chan Cup, is it fictional characters, is it limited to real players, can it be local non-sport celebrities? Basically, are there any naming limits at all?

No real naming limits. You can name them on posters, memes, anything to do with the board, as long as it's not the board itself. If it clashes, I'll add changes like middle names to prevent confusion on which >rape scored, for example. However, if it's overly crude or NSFW, I'll ask you to change it.

As for submission of names, I think I'll do it on the basis of 22/the number of people wishing to submit names. I.e. If 11 people on /int/ wish to submit a player, they can submit 2 each.

As for updates, I'll post a picture of the results at the end of each week, along with the table at the time.

Okay, consider me as somepony who want to submit names for /int/.

I'm also hoping to submit names for /oat/.

Yeah. If you think this would work, could you help spread the word over to the other boards that aren't /g/, /vinyl/, /gala/, /chat/ and /int/? I perhaps do not have the selling power for this.

Seeing we got furthest in planning for a PES that never happened, eh why not?
2 questions: How many variation could still be done?
Would it be made possible to watch?

I'm already trying to build up interest on /oat/, but since I have very limited influence on most boards, I would need at least two of the current boards to show any real attention to the league, and even then I think I could only do /dis/ and /merch/.

So each player has certain stats that total to a maximum of 52*20 = 1040, but FM limits it so you can never have a player with more than 2 20s I believe. All players will be set with 10 as default for every skill (totally 520), but you can change them around if you so ask for it (increase one skill by 5, drop another by 5).

Watching may be possible, but it will depend on my livestreaming ability and game abilities.

Hey man, that's cool. Just keep plugging away.

Things are going well now. Four three people (including me) consider themselves in on /oat/ now, one for /pony/ despite having no thread there, and I've made a thread about it on /merch/.

Is it time to choose players now, or something? I'm a bit nervous about doing something I shouldn't.

Nice trips, by the way.

As long as people post names, I'll keep it open for a week as of today.

Guys, anyone involved or who wants to get involved needs to get their backsides over to the /meta/ thread for name choosing and such
