Good evening commanders, it's time for another /vst/ divegrass thread and another season. The Spring Babby is just around the corner and the team is collecting suggestions for roster additions. You can post them in the thread or in this survey https://s.surveyplanet.com/l4xlws04. Later this weekend, we'll collect all the player suggestions and post the proper roster poll which will run through next Friday (27th). This is also the place for other suggestions or ideas for the team like music, chants, aesthetics, etc.

imo it would be nice if we'd have
>Anthem
Hell March (Red Alert series)
>Victory Anthem
Baba Yetu (Civilization 4)
I feel like we've had either of those before, but would be nice to bring them back regardless.
Not sure which version of Hell March.
I think they're pretty iconic /vst/ themes of different genres and franchises.
A Fire Emblem player in the roster would be fun.

Maybe renaming him to Aldaris since he's the one who says it

Once again pulling for Grigori II here to be our custom model (potentially oversized) as a new addition.

manager here, FE has been extremely transitory on pretty much all of the vidya boards that it can be posted on, from /v/ to /vg/'s /feg/ and on /vst/ there are always FE threads but since /feg/'s forced merged back with /feh/ there hasn't been a concrete board where FE finds consistent threads, heck the FE threads here on /vst/ last either a few days or have lasted up to a few months depending on who's posting. In regards to a player FE along with other SRPGs like valkyrie chronicles, SRW etc had a player called >srpg on the team at one point but they were voted off. If it makes you feel any better /vst/ always has FE music in case they face /vrpg/ (assuming they come back) and I have other FE related things in the music export as well. Idk maybe if fortunes weave isn't complete and utter dogshit it might drive FE discussion to be relevant enough to actually get a roster spot by itself

/vst/'s always kind of suffered a bit from having most of its roster be two decades+ old IMO, so here are a couple of ideas from more current events for players that'll probably be one shot wonders.
>Tuvix Lives! (Voyager: Into The Unknown)
>Deluxe Jewery (Atari released Transport Tycoon Deluxe on Steam, locking the formerly free OpenTTD behind buying it. Model would probably be an Auschwitz joke, because what else?)

Jadwiga's Hips as a goalie.
Civ6 is 10 years old at this point, but it's something.
Unless we wanna go full retard and do something like "Harriet Tubman, Queen of Egypt" as a civ7 rep.
Maybe Punished Johan, more recent paradox meme.
AoE2 gets new updates so maybe there's something memeable there too, I don't know what the meta is like but if there was a unit that was especially stupid like steppe lancers were a while back that could've been something.
homm3 through hota gets updates, but I don't think any new hero or creature that has player potential. At best Bulwark(the town and castle itself) as a goalie.

To whoever suggested this, we'll make this happen even if they don't make it on the team as a chant or something because this is too good to pass up

Done.
I honestly think /vst/ has one of the better rosters with a mix of both funny and iconic.

It's not necessary since we'll also take suggestions from the thread. It's mainly there for people who might not be able to post (plus I wanted to test it out to see if it could be a replacement for the usual google polls)

I figured out how to rip those models and textures so we'll have those around if either end up making it onto the team or if we need them for anything else like as staff. The hardest part will be making them work with the default player animations

i'm not going to select 23 options because most of them are too long and also too in-jokey
just do something simple like Crazy Ivan if you want to reference RA2

There wasn't any separate medal poll planned but depending on results there could be a tie break poll for medal spots or 23rd place but we can consider a separate poll or medal question in the roster poll in the future

Shamefur Dispray and Der Map Painter's kit colors weren't in for today's match but we've got something for them now. Kit 6 is the German flag kit so Der Map Painter's paintbrush has a German coloration to it which you can't see in this preview

Currently Shamefur Dispray has kit switching but the same banner on every kit. If you guys have any banners you'd want to see for them, this is the texture that will be used. The top is the left side and the bottom is the right side which appears mirrored in game. Color schemes for the kits are here >>2376736
>>2377703
We discussed it and made the decision to keep the model but as a gag for invitationals or friendlies like the Hairy Kane model

Sure probably for kit 3. The original kit is Prussian blue with red stripes which still fits with the red and blue coloration
