>What is this?
There's a tournament called the 4CC (Four Chan Cup, other variations of the name are spamfiltered so watch out), which has AI versions of each 4chan board compete in simulated football (soccer) matches. The teams themselves are representations of each individual board's culture. /gd/ is one of the teams competing in it.
/gd/ is one of the boards renown for having a small, but loyal following. We already have a few posters over at the /vg/ thread, however we always try to keep the actual board informed and involved, as well as alert any new people to the concept of the cup, cause it's just fun times and they might like it.
>I'm not interested / fuck off with this thread / this isn't /gd/ / etc
If you're not interested, that's perfectly fine. The cup itself isn't a real e-sports event and is just something done between friends that people can be a part of. Threads on /gd/ related to the cup will always be called "#333 thread" in that exact spelling fashion, so just add that to your spam filter and they'll never show up again.
>I'm interested

>Recent events
/gd/ finish Winter once again at 6th place, tying their previous record of the Winter before.
Summer begins Friday 28th July, with /gd/'s first match being starting on the 29th, looking to finally make this the cup where they get past that Quarter-Final stage that haunts them so much.
We're also looking for a new manager to step up after this cup, either to assist or complete replace our current one.
Help will be provided to anyone interested, requirements are obviously to be a /gd/ browser and owning a PC able to run PES or it's Editors.
If you are interested, hit up the current manager on Skype: basedsmugleaf or Discord: Smuggles#1197
/gd/'s first match is against /g/ and starts in about 3 hours, here's to a good cup campaign this season!

Here's your (you)
As I said before I'm kinda interested in it, but until the PES 18 system requirements drop I'm gonna say I probably can't run it.
Also there may/hopefully be someone more invested in /gd/ around, of which I only occasionally check (it's /gd/).
Ironically if /gd/ gets regulated I could be pretty confident in doing it since I know I can run 17 in the fall. That said don't TRY to get regulated!

Normally I make these threads a week in advance because the board is slow damn slow, so I wouldn't be surprised if not a lot of people turn up today but whatever, the offer is still at the top of the thread for any latecomers
And yeah, I'll wait until the end of the cup to see if there are any more responses, it's not like there's only one position up for grabs anyway, hell the whole board could manage if they wanted to heh
Well that sucked
Buamp for gameday
We're up now
Fuck
rip
For anyone unaware or late arriving, we've been relegated for the first time in over 2 years.
/gd/ were relegated due to sheer negligence, which is the reason I'm resigning as /gd/ manager.
Our export is identical to Winter with just one medal switch, all down to me not having enough time/interest to create polls or properly test, hell we nearly ended up an autopilot team if it wasn't for me getting out of work early on the deadline day.
I'm not Art, so I'll still be around until Sunday to 'manage'.
But back to the point, the team deserves better, so if there is anyone here that browses the board, please message me if you're interested in managing that means you too,
Incoming.
Because of the way life has taken it's path, I no longer find myself visiting /gd/ the past few months, so while I will help out getting any new manager set up, I won't be a co-manager. I'd rather leave the team now than end up a merc, despite the board always having a place in my heart.
It's been an amazing ride, thanks for all the experiences we've been through. Shame it ended like this but I can't say I'm surprised in the slightest.
I send out apologies to all our fans and anyone who enjoys watching the team for me being complete arse this cup, but here's to Autumn!

we had some good times together
F
lel that game
So grats to Smug Leafman to defeating the /co/ menace. This dude's been doing it for years so give him your claps if you haven't already. Almost everything you love about this team rests on his shoulders.
I'll be running the /gd/ train come fall. I also run a somewhat thematically related team on the /vg/ league, /agdg/ (amateur game dev). So don't worry, I'm not trash! Not completely! Experience!
If you actually browse /gd/ be on the lookout for a few polls and other hot takes coming up! Don't worry, no one iconic will be under threat of getting sacked, just want to feel out if anyone wants some new faces. /gd/ is extremely iconic in the cup, but at the same time it hasn't changed much in years (because it's already so damn pleasing to look at for the most part). It's time to redesign.
>But what if I miss the thread?
If you visit /gd/ even once a fortnight you'll see it! It's /gd/! Look out for the #333 thread tag, or the GD logo design
Looking forward to giving this legacy a little refresh, and touching up those rough edges for the new age. The small boards will rise again!
