Well. There ends VTL8 for /nepolabo/. We'll play in GarbageFES which should start next weekend a few hours before the RO24, so you'll get to see us a bit more, but as far as the main league goes, we'll be back for VTL9. Thanks so much for coming out, supporting the team, and suffering this loss with me. The rest of this post will be an after action report with some autism, so feel free to skip; the most important part is I'm opening a permanent "suggestion" form to suggest new players and whatever else, no login required and responses are anonymized:
https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/fup8sD+bU4qatIyO1bNd+AVSkjzLFH0hWuDd8QHi9JA/After action report: As Caretaker, I had no input on tactics, so what you saw was provided for us by the League organizers. The good: we have been the best performers vs /hfz/'s wall so far. I have some plans to manage next time around, which means any fuck-ups will be 100% on my head, but we'd have greater control over the team's tactics. That being said, if you're interested in stepping up to help with the team, please feel free. It isn't mine, it's the thread's and everyone has equal right to provide input.
More good: We got some love on the aesthetic side this time. Two new kits, a couple of basic model updates - one we didn't get to see, Gangtown Fighter 6 is M. Bison now instead of Lily, since Botan switched mains. On this front, I have some plans to continue updating the team's aesthetics - namely, I'd like each model to have something unique to it and we still have a few "default" MMDs running around. The medals are fine for that, but Liverface for example could use some uniqueness, or be replaced by a different Lamy meme if a good one can be found. That's why I'm keeping a player suggestion poll open, so people can put in suggestions any time.
Yet more good: New music was added - Nene's hat trick horn played on her first goal today which means I likely fucked up the music export in some way, so I'll need to fix that, but the songs were a win and we can continue to add and change things easily.
The bad: 2 draws and a loss. Not much any of us could do about this one, it's just PES, but it still kinda stinks.
Use this post to express your pain, displeasure, excitement, ideas, or to yell at me and call me names and threaten to sack me. Use the linked form to put player suggestions in, or reply to me here and I'll note them down. Also, I'm always lurking in the thread and posting wife, so if an idea ever strikes you, just throw it out there and I'm happy to discuss. And in final news... Ogey Calibur 2 is coming up. I signed us up last year and I'd like to do so again, so look forward to that.
OtsuNePoLaBo!
