Some Of My Favorite Moments In 17776

I posted this on a discord a while back, but I decided I should post a version here too. That being said, I present to you:

I HAVE GAZED INTO THE ABYSS AND THE ABYSS ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO WATCH A GAME

or

The culmination of a feverish night of theory crafting after a sudden epiphany like a vision from an angry god, which may or may not be pertinent to the plot of “20021, a Football Story” by Jon Bois, whenever that comes out

See, okay, the whole deal with this thing is; If either Nick and Manny get caught and fail to bring the footballs home, or succeed and bring the footballs home, it will become a big story that it was only two guys who stole the footballs from Georgia Tech. This tells Michigan State that the locomotive lateral was performed by two guys, and thus, it would have been almost impossible for them to split the balls up, meaning the 9 balls that MI ST went up by at the end of the locomotive lateral would have been all the balls that GTECH had (given that it dropped in rank to the 0 ball teams at the same time as MI ST increased by 9). If someone from MI ST took a screenshot of their scoreboard before and after the lateral they would be able to tell that by the time the lateral was completed:

1: MI ST has 24 balls

2: GA SO has at most 14 balls because they were a place below MI ST before the lateral when Michigan had 15 balls

3: SC ST has at most 8 balls because they were a place below GTECH, which (based on the number of balls MI ST increased by and GTECH’s ranking afterward) had 9 balls before the lateral

4: CIN, HOW, and TEX likely have 3 balls each, and if they’re not sure MI ST can collaborate with one of them. Additionally, if you know that a certain team has a certain number of balls at any point in the game, then if the ranking group that team is in never drops below 2 teams, then you will always know everyone in that ranking group will have that same amount of balls even if the original team drops out of that ranking group, due to the sheer unlikelihood of every team in a ranking group gaining or losing exactly the same amount of balls at the same time. Remember, it can be days between scoreboard changes. There is a good chance that every team already knows the tied for 5th ranking group have 3 balls each.

5. If you know CIN, HOW, and TEX each have 3, then MO through to UTEP must have 2 balls each

6. There are 28 teams with exactly one ball each. The 1 ball teams extend into the remaining teams section, where you normally would not be able to see rankings and wouldn’t be able to tell which ones are 1 ball teams and which ones are goose egg (0 ball) teams. However: all teams in the same rank are organized alphabetically, and you can see that the alphabetization resets between Washington State University and Air Force Academy. Therefore a MI ST player would be able to know there are 28 one ball teams.

So: 24+14+8+3*3+2*5+1*28=93

111-93=18 balls hidden off the field, one more than the number UAB is hiding in Stannard Rock Lighthouse

Will Michigan State find 18 missing balls alarming? I don’t know. Depends on the kind of story Jon Bois wants to write. I want to believe they will, starting a frenzy that uncovers UAB’s hidden dynasty as the most powerful team in the entire college bowl, which somehow forces UAB to resurrect their steamroller play One Last Time.

Maybe that’ll give Val something to talk about, other than loathsome mosquitoes lurking in limestone quarry ponds, which may or may not have contributed to the construction of the Empire State Building.

I can only say one thing for certain:

Stay in school, kids. It makes you better at cross-country football.

hey y'all-

HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT???!!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE????

ohhh...

OKOK I GET IT

...well there you have it! after about two and a half weeks i finally have little human designs for the 17776 probes! i love them sm but i do not have the sheer willpower others have to draw their probe forms with all the machinery for the time being...soooooo, have some humanizations instead! they all wear those fuckass headbands because they have machinery on them and i imagine that it can make them switch from probe object heads to regular person heads at any given moment, especially if they need to do any probe stuff. my design skills aren't the best but i really wanted to do this for the fun of it :] anyways i hope y'all like these because now i need to go meet up with the inconspicuous voice that beckons me and whispers my name before it catches me first! byebye! :D

misc stuff under cut

just some differently cropped images please look away

WAIT

what the fuck is THAT??? the hell kind of bug is that!?...ok y'all, i don't really know what *that's* supposed to be, but i'll try to figure it out in a few...uh, goodbye! :)

He was joshing I swear!

GEEZ I JUST REALIZED HOW BAD THE CAM QUALITY IS DON'T MIND. Oops!

I miss you. | 17776 Football, Intro

why is he

More 17776 art cuz i can feel my brain rotting with it

Pine

.i. i managed to make them chibi,,,

id buy chibi plushes of them honest to god

WAITT no because that would be interesting. Imagine seeing a football just getting chucked into the air but you have NO CLUE where it's headed because the corn stalks are too long. Trying to locate your teammates would be such a pain in the ass.

^^^

I'm talking like - THIS size of corn stalks.

Actually insane.

So, maybe instead of throwing it, they sneak it to each other? Having a good sense of direction would probably be relevant so you know where the End Zones are.

got a new 17776-esque football game idea. average football game, but it's all played in a cornfield, but a maze could be involved if you want to get crazy with it. to make it even worse a part of the rules is that you CANNOT destroy or uproot any of the corn under any circumstances or else you'll immediately be out of the game, but you are allowed to eat any fully grown corn at any given time. the entire game field is the cornfield, and if you leave it you'll immediately be considered out-of-bounds. you're allowed to hide the ball in the corn stalks if you think that'll work. scarecrows are also there, not for anything helpful but just to throw players off cause i think that'd be pretty funny, watching someone fumble over a guy made of straw. possibly one of the most rage-inducing game ideas, or the funniest. just imagine the probes watching a bunch of players bumble around a field with extremely thick plants trying to get their way through the field through the maze or by brute force.

prolly

do you think NASA’s clipper likes football?
