A team who is only spoken about in hushed whispers, /d/ are a proud fanbase drawn together by all things taboo.
/d/ will find anything asexual. If it's got a hole, they'll fill it. If it's not got a hole, they'll make one. Either way, they'll also slap a dick on it. Unless there's already a dick on it and then they'll remove it via some transformation.
So when someone realised they had a trophy fetish, they rounded up a bunch of people with a fetish for team sports and set out in search of one of the 4chan Cups. Should they ever win one, it's probably best you don't ask where it's been when they're forced to defend the title.
Founded in late 2011 following the success of the Cup the board got together and decided upon an original 26-man squad (later reduced to 23 to comply to cup rules) and also decided upon kit colours, anthem, goalhorn, badge (motto soon followed) and even a rudimentary formation which wanted the defence to be comprised of 2 bronze players and a gold.

Team Colours
In the original board meeting the colours were decided upon, they would be purple and gold, these colours gradually changed into the Violet and Mustard colour the team uses today. The original reason for the colour change was because when the /d/ custom kits were being created they were sampled from existing Italian club ACF Fiorentina kits, hence why the home kit is now traditionally Violet, the away kit White and the Goalkeeper kit Charcoal. As the /d/ kits gradually changed style - from Fiorentina, to Czech Republic and now to a completely custom variety the formula of the kits has only changed marginally from Violet shirt, shorts and Gold socks to Violet shirt, Purple Shorts and Gold socks. The away kit has taken similar changes; from White shirt, shorts and socks to White shirt, Gold shorts and Violet socks. Some other changes have been made, the kits are lightly based on Italian side Catania otherwise it's been marginal changes. Nobody has ever read this and I often wonder how I have written so much about virtual kits.
Badge
The badge hasn't changed since the creation of the club, created by Anonymous and features tentacles clutching a faceless demon-girl. The badge itself has been regarded as one of the best of the entire cup by thread-based Power Rankings and in its simplicity still shows off the heritage and culture of /d/. At the badge's base lies the inscription "In Tentacles Speramus" which means 'In Tentacles we Trust' and has now been adopted as the club's motto, even though the correct Latin translation would be "In Tentacula Speramus" some things just shouldn't be messed with.
Rivalries
vs. /h/ - The two teams have yet to meet in an official match yet, given /h/'s recent creation. These 2 boards are like siblings, except one of them has a hidden secret.
vs. /s/ - The rivalry brought about after /s/'s 5-0 demolition of /d/ back in February 2012. /d/ did however get the last laugh by advancing from their group in the 2012 Babby Cup and qualifying for the Summer Cup, whereas /s/ amounted only a single point during their campaign.
vs. /y/ - More of a friendly rivalry than anything else, both boards appreciate Dick - they just have slightly different opinions on where it should be.
Managerial History
December 2011 to May 2012 (10 games) - Guar/d/iola
/d/'s first official manager, he wasn't really as such elected by /d/ but he was the only one to download the game and the only person to test for /d/ thus earning him the privilege. His experience came from watching the game for many years and also playing the sport at amateur level this apparently was enough experience as he saw through /d/'s difficult Spring Babby Cup campaign and his work was the backbone of /d/ even after he left. He willingly resigned directly after the Spring Babby Cup had finished and has since taken a back-seat role as the Assistant to the later Manager Based Soviets and as the Caretaker Manager after he was sacked.
July 2012 to August 2012 (2 Games) - Based Soviets !Ydpjq4fCnU
An appointment of some controversy as Based Soviets was somewhat renowned for being a mercenary manager and after allegedly being refused by /3/ he came into the role after being asked by /d/ to take charge following /d/'s advancement from the 2012 Summer Cup group stages. He came into the job boasting good experience coaching with MLS side DC United (see statement) unfortunately for both /d/ and Based Soviets this experience never materialized and his managerial career ended abruptly. He was sacked after failing to appear after his /int/ defeat in the 2012 Summer Cup Quarter-Finals.
October 2012 - November 2013 (16 Games) - Chance !!7M5Ec7DQIsF
Chance came in to try and bring stability to an already crumbling /d/ side after their relegation from the 2013 Winter Cup. His first test was to steer the team back into the promise lands via the 2013 Spring Babby Cup, he achieved this with aplomb by creating an ever dangerous team that played with attacking flair and defensive sensibilities led by top scorer Bob 'DA BEAST' Sapp that saw them cruise through the group stage, break records and get knocked out to eventual winners /mlp/. Unfortunately this wasn't to last as poor performance after poor performance saw /d/ dumped out of the 2013 Summer Cup and eventually reaching the lowest ebb after crashing out of the following Babby Cup. This proved too much for Chance as he soon after went on a hiatus, ending what was a turbulent 2013 for /d/.
