Anonymous07/20/26, 22:30No.64442624chan Cup Discussion & Suggestions: /qst/ Edition
Welcome, /qst/ers, to the thread where we make /qst/ history... and get our board into the widely-acclaimed 4cc! >What is it? The 4cc is a website-spanning series of competitions in which teams representing different boards are entered into computer-driven Soccer (or Football) tournaments using the game Pro Evolution Soccer! You've probably seen it happen on other boards and maybe even saw a few matches! If not, here's a few clips to peruse: https://isthisliv.com/booru/posts/query=video >Why do we need a thread for this, you buffoon? Good question! See, the 4cc is all about representing and celebrating boards--many teams have custom models for their players and some have even contributed designs for arenas and other assets! The process is a bit of a pain in the neck, so in the short term I wanted to make a place where people could suggest /qst/'s players and what position they might play. Don't know anything about Soccer Positions? Check out an explanation HERE: https://www.orlandocitysc.com/news/soccer-101-positions-within-positions Secondly, I wanted to gauge actual interest in our board joining the 4cc in the first place. If we managed to brainstorm a full team by September, we might even be able to play in the September Friendlies! Once we're in, well, the sky's the limit! Also it'd be fun to watch, so. >Neato! How do I help? There's quite a few ways, actually! If you're into modeling stuff there's a tutorial page on making custom player models here: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Blender_tutorials#PES16/17 It's a bit much so I don't blame you if you don't want to take a swing at it. What you CAN do, though, yes, YOU, is answer the following questions! >1) Do you have a nominee for a /qst/ player? They can be a current/past /qst/ character or some kind of in-joke as long as it'd be a good representation of /qst/! >2) What position do you think they should play? You can say 'I dunno' if you don't know--no worries! >3) Do you think /qst/ should join the 4cc? Why or why not? Note that nominating someone is just that--a NOMINATION. Ultimately we'll need about 23 players for a full team--please voice your support for someone's nomination if you dig it! I'll be lingering to discuss and answer questions, but here's hoping we can put something together!

Right, here's a screenshot I took of a general team outline. Yes, yes, I know it's /i/, but bear with me here. As mentioned above, a team usually consists of about 23 PLAYERS! Not a sum to sneeze at! That means we have quite a bit of wiggleroom, though, so if you have an idea for someone, be they from an old-ass quest or a new one, plop it in here and let's discuss!

But wait, there's MORE!First of all, take a look HERE if you want to check out the 4cc Wiki for info and whatnot: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_PageSecondly, apparently teams can choose their official ANTHEMS, VICTORY ANTHEMS, and GOAL HORNS to boot, so if you have any ideas or nominations for that shit you can put it in here too!Thirdly, I have a nomination for one of the players that I think HAS to be in--up for discussion, obviously, but it's a classic: >Ruby from Ruby Quest

I should at least propose the QM Curse as a player, if only because it has claimed the lives of many a quest. It's THE ultimate killer of /qst/, and we should honor it...

I'm not much fond of directly naming people but I do have a suggestion that covers a concept but also a person. If you know you know, the Flake Snake. His own identifier, not a term of derision.

And we ought to drop archive links in the chat corresponding to a character when they score (if they score), and be thinking of some other stuff like that we can do to show some board pride and support, yaknow?

So what are we doing on the team breakdown? I'm rather confused about what was decided on, are we going with reserving a team block for rotating quest characters alongside the major ones and memes? Who would go on that versus any characters with permanent spots?

Anon07/22/26, 02:15No.6444642
Keep in mind you'll want to come up with as many potential players as you can, ideally more than the 23 that comprises a PES team. That way people who want the team to participate can vote for their favorite players and decide who makes the team. Generally, your most popular players are your medals and your goalkeeper (goalkeepers if the board decides to run 2 GKs instead of 1)

Anon07/22/26, 02:24No.6444646
If you're trying to get "/qst/ memes" then it would be a mistake to not add something to the tune of "First girl"Because, as you know, the first girl always wins.

Hokay, here's a bunch of suggestions I was gonna throw into a strawpoll today to see if any were really popular and lock-inabble. We've got about 22 right here so there's definitely room for more!>The QM Curse >The Flake >1d100 Best O' 3 >A GOOD Fantasy Quest >Samefag >Generic Civ Quest >Ruby >Waifu War >The sup/tg/ Archive >LordLicorice >Drawfag >Skirmish >Evo Game >Dice God >First Girl Syndrome >/qst/'s One Janny >Diplomancer >RNJesus >Wat Do? >The QM >Endless Chargen >Write-In >Pastebin Smut >Burnout >Not Another Isekai QuestThese are just some of the ones I've seen skimming the thread. We've got quite a few so far which is great! Assuming we aren't doing specific characters, I think we can brainstorm a few more before I shove 'em in a strawpoll if need be.>FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: What UNIFORM COLORS do you think /qst/ would wear???

Anon07/23/26, 05:29No.6445099
Ok I wanna speak against going for all meme characters, I think its kind of lame. I think it would be nice for more characters to get recognition even if they are recent or such, so I want to nominate Chrysidius Carabaid (or just Chrys) from the monster girl facility quest, one of my favorite quests going back from 2024.

I don't think the decision to include or exclude quest/QM specific characters is clear cut Having them be in major slots is maybe too much, but there are slots for regular players that get rotated out during the match (so a huge chunk of the regulars is on screen through the match, as some get tired and others swap in) those slots could, in theory, be used as a showcase for some neat quest characters this is about 16 to 17 slots (depending on if we have a reserve goal keeper or not)What characters get into these slots would be with some resctirctions (like max one character per QM and Universe, we don't want a popular quest to dominate), and if the specific characters aren't more popular then general /qst/ board concepts, then they would no be includedAnyway, vote if you care, I think three days or so are a fair amount of time, so I'll check it out thenhttps://strawpoll.com/3RnYXMkADye

Anon07/25/26, 20:54No.6445999
My opinion on whether or not to include characters or not isn't just a matter or popularity or exclusion, since frankly every quest is scattered enough and nobody's really "big" enough to be encompassing a majority of the readerbase anyways that it's impossible that somebody, or many people, don't feel left out. But I do have something to say regarding seniority rules. Back in the early days of /qst/, when you asked anybody what to read or play, there was rarely an actual response to participate in something currently running. There was just a pack of these people who never did anything new, who only hung around in /qtg/ whining and pining for the old days, for quests that hadn't run in years and would never run again, and never looked at anything even remotely new or even paid lip service to them to try and put some life into the board. They were in half-lived purgatory and were happy to be in it. They were more and more ridiculous over the years until, finally, in the present day, they're finally all dead and good riddance to them. So I don't really think seniority should have any significance or meaning at all in regards to this. There's been plenty of good, influential, or finished quests since the board started, and I really don't think there's merit in being the oldest ones still standing. A lot of the time I see people look at long running things and go "oh wow, that's too much reading for me to even try, but good for you I guess," and I have to say that obligation and admiration are clearly two different things here. The point I guess is that if a specific inclusion is made it should be a large and noticeably supported one, not something that's just done because it vaguely feels like you should.

Nominating (I recognize some of these are from the same QM; I think there should be a max of 1 per quest in the voting stage and then 1 per QM in the final roster, to let people pick their favorite option):>Charlotte Fawkins from Drowned Quest Redux >Charles de Villeroi from Local Lord Quest >Mik from Banished Quest >Osyki from (the original) Totemist Quest >Akule from Supreme Space Monke Ruler Quest >Boss Ogre from Ogre Civilization Quest >Prince from Black Company Quest >Snake Eyes from Black Company Quest 2230 >Hiss from Snakecatcher Quest* >Orion from Lamplighter Quest >Brianna La Croix from Dungeon Life Quest >MERRYGATE from Retaliation Quest >Catastrovania Strifaust whatsherface XIII from Hikkikimori Quest* >Stanley Parble from Bones Quest >Highball from Trust a Goblin Quest* >Green Bitch from Dark Fantasy Quest >Richter from Panzer Commander Quest** >Ate from Olympus Incarnation Quest >Vincent from Low Rung Researcher Quest >Joan from Fog of War Quest* >God from Versequest >Muna from Chaos Quest >Meepis from @mulet Quest >Firemane from Hero's Party Member Quest [or another notapaladin character]\*Not the MCs, but more distinct and iconic than the MCs imo \**Or one of the pantsus but I feel like the readers need to fight that one outOther quests I feel might warrant nominees, but I didn't read them, so some actual fan should nominate from them if they're reading this: >Joker Quest >Shadow Quest >Homeless Mutant Quest >Hive Queen Quest >A Moloch quest >A RQM quest >Valen Quest >Sworn to Valor >That one space quest that lasted literally 10 years I think it started with an H you know what I'm talking about >Do Your Best Quest >Saiyan Conqueror Quest >Heretic Cultivator Quest >Gotham City Beat Cop Quest >Hatch that Egg! >Cutemon >Alterac Resurgent Quest >Disappearing Hogwarts Quest >Solarpunk Cleanup Quest?

Alright punks... it's TIME. I've tried to toss in a boatload of nominations here and I gotta say--it's a bit of a doozy!You can find the Strawpoll below! Please vote for as many of the options as you like--I'll close the Strawpoll FRIDAY, AUGUST 14TH! Might keep it open longer though if circumstances arise.IMPORTANT: Please remember this is intended to be a celebration of the board! If your pick doesn't win, don't fret--they might be cycled into the next team roster! Unfortunately there are only 23 POSITIONS so we all have to make some sacrifices.Needless to say, any skullduggery, cheating, gaming, or mischief will be considered a dick move. Please do not try to game the system.THE STRAWPOLL YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR: https://strawpoll.com/PKgleM3qRZp Get voting! If you have any last-minute additions you'd like to nominate, tell me SOONER rather than LATER as editing the Strawpoll erases all votes!Also feel free to continue discussing ideas like stadiums, uniforms, balls, anthems, etc! We're still on page 1, folks!

I'll throw this in the ring, while Karn wouldn't be opposed to joining such an event, one of his children would definitely be the one who'd want to participate above everyone else. She's a champion, after all, and would want to represent her universe. Even if her powers are heavily restricted and she couldn't fly or use telekinesis.

Unfortunately I might not have been able to get in the latecomers since editing the poll wipes all vote data, but if you're interested in nominating folks for future lineups then please keep 'em in mind when the time comes!Might even be worth having one of those King/Queen of /qst/ Tourneys to decide some future rockstars.VOTE FOR YOUR NOMINEES FOR THE FINAL ROSTER (23 PLAYERS) HERE: https://strawpoll.com/PKgleM3qRZp

As of 8/14/26, here's our roster for our inagural /qst/ 4-Chan Cup Team per the dumb Strawpoll I made!IMPORTANT NOTE: After some discussion, RNJesus and Dice God are a bit close, so in the spirit of allowing for more distinct characters we are gonna combine those two together to make room! Please yell at me if you're scandalized by this decision. That is all.

Upset? No worries--this roster is not set in stone... but for now, well, it is my greatest pleasure to introduce to you all...THE FIRST ROSTER FOR TEAM /qst/!Thank you to all who voted, suggested, nominated, and made these characters, and a special thank you to those who helped!Here's what I'll need going forward (as I'm still getting verified for Manager): I need ART and/or IDEAS for how these players should be represented, especially the more esoteric ones. We will begin with flat heads for now, but moving forward we might get more intricate.As for other art assets like stadiums, anthems, balls, etc, feel free to post 'em here! I will continue to keep you all abreast of the process. You rock, /qst/!

Questers. I come to you with tales of madness and morositude. Pain and pratfalls. Sadness... and some success.I spent a lot of today after work messing around with our tools to get our team up and running. Sweat was shed. Snap Pea Crisps were eaten. Coffee was imbibed.I'm not gonna lie, everyone--the system to make additions to the 4cc? Tricky business. I'm no modeler and barely have a grasp on basic intelligence... but after some wrestling with a dozen tools and some brutal compromises, I think I've made a breakthrough:Ladies and Gentlequesters: we have some basic models for our team...

Someone did some work on the /his/ player kit and another Aesthetics Committician shared it with us--you can mess around with designs using the LEGEND enclosed.Apologies again to all for taking so long--I'm learning this as I go as are a few stalwart /qst/ volunteers. I know this probably isn't the best-looking stuff ever, but I hope that what we start today will catapult us into far-greater outfits, characters, and more in the future.

Hey all!Wow, where do I even begin? In the span of a month or so your fellow /qst/ers managed to pull together a smorgasbord of models, textures, stats, songs, and more--even helped with our Wiki Page which is still very much a work in progress, but we're getting there!The good news is that your efforts have allowed us to put together a, dare I say it?
