Well, I believe we should definitely leave it up to the competitors whether they want to take that chance or not. Because it will count on their records. So, sure.

Im going to still try and show tonight.

Keep getting 404 error for this site.

Wtf yo?

You have to type in artofbattling.com instead of aob.com/forum or whatever. The link's been changed

There are things being fixed right now, that's probably why.

I thought He whose name shall not be spoken was getting some revenge.

But yeah, I googled art of battling and a different link came up so I'm good.

Well apparently he fucked up the tagging system so that's why noone can be tagged. Fuckin loser.

Also Split I loved the idea of where you put highlights of the first half of the season in this week's mag, and I got to thinkin of doing first half awards for the entire season with accomps and everything for next week's mag. Idk just spitballin mane. Take it or leave it

Edited my verse in now @split

Gonna start writing now.

Yo ass better show @dead man

I feel pairing no shows is a bad idea. It seems good on paper however its nearly impossible to give a fair and adequate vote for two pieces with different topics. Simple too many variables. What if, for instance, there was a predetermined line limit for one piece causing the verse it was paired with to have a massive length advantage? I feel you on the no shows, believe me, but my prior experience voting on no-show paired battles leads me to believe it's not the solution. I feel punishments, especially for repeat offenders, is a much better approach.

EDIT: Perhaps punishments that would better the tournament, for example requiring the no shower to vote on 6 battles as opposed to 3 before re-entering the league.

In another league we leave no show verses open to feed. If you feed a no show verse it counts as a half vote. Feed two no show verses and it counts as a full vote.

Worked out well. First time we did it but it worked.

Only problem that could arise is if a actualy battle gets no votes while the no show verses get mad feed. We never encountered this although

The punishment is cool once for peeps like kuja whi was prob gonna read em anyways but for ppl that get hit wit a shit load of extra votes u might as well pair somone up with no one..
And the same topic doesn't matter @ rm we never had the same topic n it worked for many years like a decade but giving ppl the choice is a lot better then no choice.. This way everyone brings there A game no matter who they r facing..

Voting closes around Tuesday night. @Objective

I kind of like the same topic thing here though.. It really pushes you to be more flexible and creative
