word? i thought some shit i saw from his was really like 'timely' - but honestly i could be mixing dudes up, the top tier OM dudes get combined in my head a bit - kinda like darth & dull boy lol

if allah/d. llama didnt effing follow us around archiving the fuck out of our shit back in the day i'd have a ton of material to repurpose haha

Actually, only like 2 people think we're one, which is Mike and Geno.

Who cares, just do whatever you want, we're not one. I don't even fucking know you, fag.

i known dallas/cristian/whoever else the longest i win

I mean if the criteria under HOF is all of that stuff, then, yeah dead man doesn't deserve it I guess. Idk I don't follow him around, I only read his OM stuff. But if we're basing stuff on OM writings alone, aside from stuff that was NS during topical leagues, then I should be in the HOF, actually.

5+ votes for DY in the HOF. I've also participated in a write week once, I think.

DUDE, CRISTIAN IS BWHAHA. FUCK

I can tell the difference sometimes but not always unless I look at your user names. I have very strong views on all of you.

darth you are obviously a reasonable fellow and i enjoy your writing as much as any of your buddies' stuff which is pretty much all stellar. i feel similarly about the HOF as it stands, but that does not change it's status as a real accomplishment which was our only point of dissent.

i made this thread mostly in jest. not to start a campaign or a movement. i rarely make threads and i was paging through the HOF a few days prior and it looked like sort of a ghost town. also pent up is the only non-battler in there if i recall correctly. something is wrong there when at least half of our active members are also active writers in the open mic. if you ask me, vulgar is someone who really deserves a spot. neighbor as well. these are diverse and decorated members who have been demonstrating their skill set for at least as long as i have, probably longer. and there's others.

perhaps i shouldn't be HOF'd and that's fine. but a dialogue should be opened about a sense of diversity in there. i mean these are the pieces and people that are ideally archived as the gold standard for the site. the whole site, not the NBL.

I just forget who Zombie is, and sometimes I can't remember which of us was/is Darth.

@Zombie

And yes, black. Thank you. The initial reason why you came about is cool. I definitely think another OM writer deserves. A decent switch hitter who plays catcher, SS and 2B can be HOF as well as just a player who's primary and sole position is relief pitcher. @Pent uP presents a argument that says because @dead man isn't as "active" that he doesn't deserve it, cause everyone else on the HOF was. Or because he isn't as 'hybrid' as the others, he isn't. I get the novelty of the HOF. But @Pent uP is the only OM writer on there. And to be fair, I haven't really read any of Pent's stuff, lol. Black/Vulgar come to mind.

I dislike the intermingling of the words "topical" and "open mic." I'm a very good topical writer but mediocre at best at open mic writing.

100% behind vulg

Meh.

HOW BOUT ME?>

I champ another season I'M IN MOTHERFUCKAERHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BOOYA

stfu vulgar nobody asked you

Black vs. Vulgar death match?

Black and a plethora of others are good enough to be in the HOF, but skill isn't the only prerequisite. I don't know why people keep bringing it up.

That would be the best topical battle I've seen since the RSTL $1k payout tourneys back in the day - like 9 years for real heh


the ONLY thing i dislike about Vulgar is his either legit OR contrived impartial attitude about the very craft he's mastered lol

I want another RHYME

really bro? fuck your platinum txt trophies

you sound stupid talking about 10 year old om's. re-posted maybe 3 verses from past sites in my entire time on NC.
