Tomorrow many of the boards will be getting together, using the results of a randomly generated football (soccer) game to prove superiority. Big names such as /sp/, /pol/, and /co/ clash with smaller boards such as /n/, /x/, and /m/. And yet one board remains forgotten.

My fellow /lit/eral retards, we are a weak puppet team in the babby leagues, with scum such as /mlp/ and /b/ as our company. We must not let this stand! Come, join me in asserting our dominance across all other boards! Together, we can prove their mental inferiority!

The Babby Cup starts some time in October. I am working on designing tactics that will lead our team to success. I would appreciate help in deciding which /lit/ based memes should be used to update our roster.

If you have any poems or stories relating to sports, they would also be appreciated.

Also, can we have the CF be our gold player (copying /sp/'s successful setup)?

Because you never take a break from reading to do lighthearted enjoyable things, right?

>>2822963
Yeah, the current strategy I've been trying out is an unbalanced 4-3-3, with the skill positions being occupied by our offensive players. The way the game is set up, you really need the talent to be on offense, it just gets wasted when its on defensive players. (Current record in test games with the "strongest" teams is 6-1-3, and I still haven't decided exactly how the skill cards will be used.)

Should I name the goalkeeper "muh spooks" or "Stirner" though? I'm partial to "muh spooks", but that might just be because I'm slightly retarded.

Is Stirner a meme? I've seen people complain about people "turning him into a meme," which probably means yes. I assume you probably already have DFW somewhere.

I've already sent a skype to GermanBro. I'm not whoring for attention, I only put a trip on in this thread for the purpose of this competition...

Who are you then? If /lit/ already has a manager I'd gladly bow down and just try to help them out, but as far as I can tell we don't have any involvement at all.

>> No.2823097

Looking at the old wiki, these main roster players should be replaced with better references:

>Nietzsche (lazy)
>Bookface (shitty)
>Capsguy (retired tripfag)
>No discernible Talent (shitty)
>TwiLite (shitty)
>Albert Camus (lazy)

The following are alright, but could maybe use tweaking. My suggestions:

>James Joyce -> Arse Full of Farts
>Ayn Rand -> Atlas Shrugged
>David Foster Wallace -> DFW's Ghost
>Entry Level -> Exit Level

These can stay:

>Tao Lin

Subs worth keeping:

None, they are all shit.

I'm no one. It's just clear that you don't spend much time here, and we'd rather have no manager than that. Still, if you're actually going to put effort into it, I suppose it can't hurt.
>>2823097
No Discernible Talent should stay from that list of six. Everything else should go.

>> No.2823113

We need to nail down what formation we are running with before we can determine the names of the various players.

The only thing we know for certain at this point is that the GK will be Muh Spooks.

>> No.2823150

Here's a hypothetical team, based on revisions to the old one. Just starting players here. I'm also of the opinion that we should completely forego references to the shitty novels that get spammed here. Twilight, Wallflower, Hunger Games, 50 shades and the like.

1. Muh Spooks/Stirnerguy
2. Entry-Level
3. Hemmingway
4. D&E
5. Huge Orson Welles
6. Tao Lin
7. Arse Full of Farts
8. Who are you quoting? (questionable, but it's getting used more and more)
9. David Foster Wallace
10. Sasha Grey (could have been in the last team, but the meme's a little dated now, so that's another questionable)
11. Atlas Shrugged/Ayn Rand

Maybe everything here just goes over my head. I swear I never actually remember the day-to-day discussions. I suck at spotting memes, and it's doubly hard on /lit/ because people don't spam meme pictures with the same ferocity as they do on other boards. I can't exactly name someone "Plato's theory of forms is what you're talking about and nobody in the know uses those metaphysics anymore." now can I?

>>2823113
We can have a list of names before we know precisely what positions they'll be in.

>>2823085
If we want to win, then we need to be aggressive, but I'll try to see if I can get the game to run a 4-5-1 without the AI going full retard.

So the list as I understand it right now:
>GK: Muh Spooks
>Atlas Shrugged
>DFW's Ghost
>Entry Level (Midfield?)
>Exit Level (CF?)
>No Discernible Talent
>Tao Lin
>Deem&Edgy (What's wrong with this one?)
>(2deep4u is /mu/ which surprises me, but then I never go there so I wouldn't know.)
>Tryhard (if nobody else has this then we should)

And the tactic is some kind of 4-5-1 focused on maintaining possession.

>> No.2823206

>>2823184
Some position suggestions:

>GK
Muh Spooks

>Midfield
Entry Level (because that's the playmaker of this forum)
No Discernible Talent (the central tenet of /lit/ and its users)

>Forward
Exit Level (the ultimate of /lit/--our Patriciancore)

Also, is it too late to nominate Dead Author as a defensive player?

>> No.2823219

>>2823177
I'll try it out, thanks (though to get the AI to not be retarded I might have to tweak it).

>>2823206
But of course. The author is dead. And that is, as always, a brilliant defense to my claims that you are reading the book completely incorrectly. I like this one.

>so I organized it as a vague 4-3-3
Why 4-3-3 and not the standard 4-4-2?

Still, it may work in PES. Also, isn't Germanbro using PES 2013 for the Babbies? There's not much point worrying about formations until that comes out and we get a feel for what the teams in our group are doing.

I think we should keep the old logo and change the jersies. You could pick a style that wouldn't clash.

>calling the 4-4-2 formation old fashioned compared to the 4-3-3

I never said it was older, I said it was out of date. No top team plays 4-4-2 any more. Any time you do see it, it plays more like a 4-5-1.

Probably because 4-2-3-1 seems to be standard now.

The concern is how the AI will play the formation, not how it works in real life. That said, if I can get the AI to play a smart possession game and WIN, I'll use it. Otherwise, the AI really seems to favor directly aggressive tactics.

Also, PES strategies from 11 work about as well with 12 and so I assume strategies I work on in this game will work with 13.

I'm torn between the goalhorn being read a book, being something classical, or being the Reading
Rainbow theme. How many people here really want to stick with READ A BOOK?

I'll be back tomorrow to see just what the reaction is. Goodnight everybody.
