HELLO /m/ CITY!
I hope you haven't drank yourself into oblivion after last night, and if you're hungover than take it easy. This will be short.
So, with this edition of the Summer Cup locked away in a lead lined box and thrown into the volcano for good measure, it's time to relax a bit. Join us tomorrow for a good old meme stream! A few of the council put together teams to provide us a bit of hilarity. Stream link to come when I figure it out.
Now on a more serious side of things, the 2016 4chan Autumn Babby Cup is on the way in November and as the Winners of Spring, we play "host." This means we have some input on things like the ref and hyp machine. Now We at the Council have a pretty good idea for the hyp machine that we're keeping under wraps for the time being, but we're turning over the Ref creation to you! Throw out suggestions because this is what we got so far:
>Stalker (G Gundam)
>Mr. Referee (Medabots)
>ZBC Judge/Backdraft Judge (Zoids)
>Gespenst
>Harry Ord
>>14650542
ZBC Judge is best solution, if only because it's a canonical judge that's a robot as well. Plus the head is simple enough to model.
>>14650542
As much as I see the logic in the previous anon's post, I gotta go with Mr Referee
Gonna have to say ZBC. I love G Gundam and Medabots but we should represent as robits.
I don't know if we're voting, but my vote goes to Stalker
>>14650542
Are refs our only options? Anything else we can customise?
>>14650542
You need somebody to ensure the rules are followed?
>>14650604
That's a good one.
I'd vote for Zoids Judge since it seems like the most visible choice that fits.
I should clarify, we're compiling ref ideas for a poll. While there are 35 ref slots in PES, we're taking the top 5. You can suggest whatever you'd like. I mean we tossed around other ideas like MP EVAs, Shocker Grunts, Za Bee, GMs, etc.
>>14650542
>I hope you haven't drank yourself into oblivion after last night
That ship already sailed, I'm afraid.
And I'll go with Mr. Referee.
>>14650634
I think >>14650604 deserves a look.
How about Tomino as the referee just for the sake of it? He ensures that everyone gets killed at least once.
>>14650665
That would be fairly amusing, but unfortunately not everyone would get it
>>14650672
Not everyone has to get it. Most people don't get why Godmars is our keeper.
>>14650665
If killing is what you need, then Go Nagai would most likely do the trick. He kills a lot more than Tomino.
But >>14650672 is right. The cup isn't about us. We should get someone recognisable for everyone to enjoy. I'd say Robocop is a good one, because most people know him.
I prefer Stalker since it is more recognizable, but ZBC would be the easiest one to do.
>>14650679
>Not everyone has to get it
It has to look nice, and I'm afraid an old man (whether it's Tomino or Nagai or even Anno) on the pitch is dull. People expect /m/, not retirement homes.
>>14650679
You have a point there.
Might as well throw Tomino there and let the masses decide then.
Let's assign some robots to the competing teams, /m/.
>>14650691
I just thought of Tomino because he's probably the most discussed thing on /m/ that is not a robot.
>>14650679
>>14650691
The cup isn't about us. The /m/ team is for us.
Let's not be fanboys, and think a little about what would make this cup great, and not what would make you happy.
Data was known for being strict on the rules, I know the star trek fanbase is quite small on here, but we have a number of threads at times.
>>14650604
This is a good idea, the perfect judge.
>>14650704
I think so too.
Who doesn't know Robocop? I think it will offer more material for the commentators too.
>>14650695
>Zeorymer on /h/
I don't get it
Okay, no fanboying this time:
Since Darth Vader is more of a machine than a man and everyone knows him, maybe he would be a nice referee.
>>14650711
Read the Zeorymer manga.
>>14650695
>Big Guy
>/adv/
>not /tv/
>>14650714
But he's not much of a judge. In fact he's a very bad one.
>>14650542
Robocop's a great idea. I'm also throwing my second vote for the guy from G Gundam and Mr. Referee.
>>14650721
I am sure that predates the whole U U U U meme by years
>>14650736
We're not voting yet.
We're just nominating candidates.
Spock, because he's always rational and the show he's in is /m/-related.
Have a vote for Harry Ord.
>>14650734
why not Judge Dredd?
>>14650746
Ehhhh. That's a bit of a stretch, it's hard to tie him back to robots directly. As nice as it is to reach for things the mainstream is likely to recognize, we should probably keep to things that are still machine in nature.
Now, Borg Queen I could get behind - central figure, mechanized, commentators could joke about Resistance Is Futile on her rulings. Or even some lead Dalek or other.
I think the only choices are Mr. Referee or RoboCop
AGAIN. We are not voting yet. Read >>14650638
> I should clarify, we're compiling ref ideas for a poll.
> While there are 35 ref slots in PES, we're taking the top 5.
C-3PO. Imagining him as referee is pretty funny.
Shoutmon for referee suggestion. He literally is about blasting out what is right and wrong on the mic, plus who is better to judge a game than the king of the Digital World?
>ref
WESTERNSHIT GET OUT REEEEEEE
>>14650800
True. Then there's HK-47.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXvVVCr_6P8
>>14650542
all of those sounds pretty great
>>14650768
Mr. Referee, Robocop, ZBC Judge, and Stalker are the only really solid choices.
I was thinking about ref suggestions earlier today and literally didn't even think of Robocop. He's a good pick since it would be in character for him to ref. Is it possible to put him up as linesman instead though? Commentators have been making comments about how the linesmen have laser-like accuracy.
>>14650800
C-3PO would be great.
>>14650542
If something needs to be judged, well... There's one figure out there with a good catch phrase for it.
>>14650695
So, will the unofficial name of the babbies be Super Rigging Wars : Babby Generation?
>>14650908
CAST IN THE NAME OF RIGGING
YE CARDED
I dig it
>>14650927
No, it's Super Divegrass Wars Babbies Generations Saga Endless Rigging EXCEED
>>14650665
LE HAPPY KILL'EM ALL MAN OF ANIME
Get the fuck off the pitch.
>>14650948
Super Divegrass Wars Babbies Generations Saga Endless Rigging EXCEED The Mulp Dwellers GX: Lord of Meme Magic
So what about hyp machine? I was thinking that it could be done like episode previews for old /m/ shows. Maybe something like MSG's "Who will survive?"
>>14651065
Oh definitely a good idea. We can put in Votoms or Dougram endings.
>>14650948
>>14651044
>>14651065
>>14651089
Just perfect.
Next, we write the script for the mecha anime adaptation of the babby cup.
>>14650542
>I hope you haven't drank yourself into oblivion after last night, and if you're hungover than take it easy.
You know me too well.
>>14651089
>Boris drinks, and the coffee of PES is bitter indeed.
>>14651065
>>14651089
Hyp Machine is currently under our wraps, but we already have the idea laid out. If the aesthetics folks absolutely hate our idea, then we may come back because we have nothing after that.
Is the Rigged Wiki already updated? I want to see who won the best glove.
>>14651332
nice. what do we have planned?
>>14650751
seconded
>>14651353
As with most hyp machines, we're keeping it a secret. To find out, you'll just have to wait until November.
>>14651372
>we're keeping it a secret.
Why is that? it's not like other boards browse /m/ desu senpai
>>14651391
We're just following precedent. Plus like I said, it could get rejected
>>14651473
If it does, will you guys share your failure with us?
>>14651514
I don't see why not. Although we might be going at this a bit too early since we learned Tottori did the entire Summer Hyp Machine in a week. So for now we'll let him sleep and pest him later.
Do you guys plan to make the Cyborg 009 kit?
Why not a Clan mech in referee coloring? After all, the babby cup is practically a trial of position.
>>14651542
>Tottori did the entire Summer Hyp Machine in a week
What a beast. He deserves all the rest of the world.
>>14651553
I support this. I don't know how this wasn't a thing before.
NANA WILLS IT for golden boot.
>>14651186
Quick /m/, who's the staff?
>>14652121
/sgg/ doesn't play until tomorrow though
>>14652766
>he doesn't know it's already willed
>>14652752
It's a cooperation between Takahashi and Tomino with Go Nagai writing the script and Obari as the animation director.
>>14650598
We're currently looking into what our options are.
As is usual after a cup, most of the /m/ staff is taking a bit of a breather to blow off some steam and recharge, so we're taking it a bit easy, gathering information, planning, preparing, and organizing for the next week or so.
If all goes according to keikaku and we don't bite off more than we can chew, we're hoping this will be the autumn babby to end all autumn babbies, just to scrub summer from everyone's memories
>>14654033
Chatting with some people in Hitbox yesterday, some are really looking forward to Autumn. Time to put one hell of a cup, Council!
>>14654108
We'll do our best.
What about Big O refs
YE GUILTY
>>14654758
CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD
YE OFFSIDE
>>14650734
>In fact he's a very bad one.
sounds perfect for the 4cc then!
>>14654758
It's been suggested: >>14650944
So yeah, more support for the black Megadeus!
>>14654758
>>14654776
>>14654867
I'm going to strike down the Big O ref suggestion right here and now. With Big O, like many of our /m/ staples, we have some special plans for, that will hopefully not disappoint.
Roger Smith is fair game though
>>14655013
aren't we involved in the final boss theme for the babbies, or is that decided by /4ccg/
>>14655019
I don't recall if we got the official blessing for it, but it was something we were discussing and I've been doing some minor planning and preparing for it
As much fun as the last final boss was, I'm hoping for a bit less of a clipping fest in autumn
>>14655019
No, final boss theme is decided by the /aesco/, specially since we want to keep it a surpraise till it happens
Where is today's meme stream?
>>14655073
http://implyingrigged.info/wiki/User:Archie.m.vist/Tuesday_Night_Rigging
Is /m/ also in charge of the final boss?
>>14650634
>Shocker Grunts
This sounds good, as does >>14654867
>>14651301
I actually made a Woodo coffee adboard ages ago, but I don't think it's ever been used.
>>14655132
Stream name? Implyingrigged isn't loading for me.
>>14655453
it's streaming on the official 4chan cup hitbox channel. Archie hasn't started yet though.
Would it be too troublesome to make all the photographers a Lertoff?
>>14651553
Not necessarily opposed to 009, but we already have loadsa red kits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdgYexxHE_o
MY WORD IS THE LAW ON THE BATTLEFIELD
>>14656351
But we don't have those red kits
>>14656541
Fuck, wrong thread. A Dahack ref would make no sense.
>/sp/ and /mlp/ are acting like arrogant fucks about their asterisks
Robocop referees.
Never give up.
Best regards, someone you know

Is that you?
>>14658909
