On the subject of voting. Are there any rules in place that state participants should vote on a minimum number of battles per week? If so, would they still be eligible to vote if their opponent was a no show?

Not that I'm planning to not vote or anything. It's just there's no rules thread I can see and I'm curious.

We’re all supposed to vote on every open battle I think is what Inno had wanted. Especially this week there’s not really an excuse. Yeah you’re still eligible even if you were no showed

i'll be dropping votes late tonight

I figured that was probably the case. I've just been in a few tournaments in the past where people haven't voted on anything at all because quote 'my opponent no showed' and the mods let them get away with it.

Think I'm done with my votes. I'll try to drop some feedback on the no-show verses later today.

@Universe @Bodey you vote against me every week. It’s lame. I want my DQ win, as expressed earlier in the week. Stop trying to cheat me. Thanks.

@Mods. I refuse to be cheated by these same people voting against me every week. I don’t know why they can’t just avoid my battles like I do theirs? I obviously rattled their cages and they’re still salty.

Meh.

Lmao you suck dude. You know this is supposed to be for fun right? There’s no money on the line.

But yea that’s fine take it. So petty and silly to undermine our first successful league in years with this kind of shit.

Enjoy your win, I hope it brings you happiness or whatever you’re looking for

Word I see where you’re coming from bro, just remember this league is only as strong as our competitors and voters. That and Inno’s persistence is the reason we’ve made it this far tbh. So big shout to everyone who gets on here and competes/votes every week!

trust me, it's not some sort of conspiracy against you. what would i have to gain from that? also, most times i dont agree with the things Universe says about other people's writing, when he nitpicks at certain things. like i said, apply your technical skill to something more in depth than say.. a worm hierarchy. that wouldn't have been enough for a writer like deadman, and you should know that.

Do you even know what a multi is, champ?

I will.

Thanks.

Dude does this to everyone. Did it to me. Did it to Universe. Believe he deserves a suspension or ban, like deadman said we finally get a decent topical league going for the first time in forever and all you’ve done is go out of your way to start unnecessary drama. We let you back in because you said you were “done with tomfoolery and ready to write” apparently that isn’t the case. YOU started this league and then abandoned it @Diablo and @Inno and I have done nothing but work hard to try to keep it afloat. You’ve done nothing but try and tarnish it time and time again.

I’ll take my DQ win and sign out, thanks.

trolling our league is fine and dandy if thats what you're into right now, but it's kinda lame that it's been at the expense of the effort people put into writing against you

Oh my god lol. The deadline was extended to Monday by Inno, your battle is no different.

This guy can't even be down A VOTE without losing his shit. I mean, he signs out of a Contender match when he's down 2-1? Then bashes our Champion for no reason trying to cheapen the belt on his way out?

Honestly it sounds like he just forfeited to me. I say grant him his forfeit and let's move on.

I don’t wish to be banned, I would prefer to be a productive member here but I think some things need addressing that I am willing to bring up publicly for all to see if the mods so engage it?

I think yours is pretty clearly a hate vote, as you do it against me every week without fail, tbh.

Very thinly veiled each week but always with an undertone of trying to screw me over. Let’s be real.

I think your writing is at its highest level I've ever seen. Your last 2 weeks have been a pleasure to read. I personally preferred dead man's verse this week and I broke down why pretty thoroughly in my review.

It was 100% not extended when I told Deadman to post on time, as I don’t grant extensions, and to make sure his verse was ready on time.

Yeah, you hid it well, I admit.

But come on bro, I was on the losing side of every battle I’ve had in the league so far every week in your opinion?

Come off it. Lol. We’re grown enough to admit that isn’t the case here. You have a problem with me personally and you look for a reason not to vote my way. It’s obvious.

I would've voted for you against me last week lol. How's that? Come off it man, let's have some fun here.

Stop the drama. You're too good of a writer to ruin yourself like this. You are a perennial favorite in this league and we need you here. Win. Lose. Who gives a fuck. Let's put on a show.

I feel like you’re voting against me just to do it at this point, because you’ve a problem with me.

4 weeks out of 6 - the other two matches being against you - suggests I’m correct.

How fun would you find that?

I’m not here to cause trouble; just give me my DQ win and I’ll see you next week.

I don't think I've ever got a vote from MMLP or Scar or dead man. There's no conspiracy. AND you are up against top level competition every week. You think if it was you vs. fucking Sinacog I wouldnt vote for you? Or countless others? Its close man... I go with my fav style. Yours usually is an animal metaphor of some sort and I hate those

I actually think you would.

Sad to say.

I think from here on out it’s best if you, Bodey and Adverse don’t vote on my battles and I’ll do the same.

MMLP or Scar aren’t even signed in. Lol.

Also; the verse wasn’t an animal metaphor at all.

Ugh. I tried. Anyone else wanna take it from here? @Adverse @Inno @dead man

I think it’s fair that you just avoid by battles and I do the same. Easy resolution.

i went to vote for you last week but it already got closed. and not one person voted against you last week? like you sound ridiculous. you can't just tell which people can vote on you and which can't, while ironically going on about what's fair and what isn't. like i said, i have nothing to gain voting against you so idk why you're making such an issue about it, you're just making yourself look bad at this point. i can at least admit when someone beats me. apparently your ego is too big for this league. every time you lose, this is what happens.

I’ve only lost one battle.

It’s hardly “every time,” is it?

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Will The Real Housewives of Netcees take it to the gossip corner? For fucks sake.

@sraL @Diablo @Clutbuck @whateverothermultiplefuckingaliasesyouhave look...

You're one of the best to ever do this, I doubt anyone who's been around long enough would disagree. You've champed multiple tourneys/leagues across sites, styles, and eras.

But right now you're being a whiny little bitch. And a troll, and not an amusing one at that.

Look in the fucking archives, Universe and Bodey voted for you week 2, Universe posted in your week 3 battle that he got it wrong in retrospect and should've voted for you... and Bodey voted for you in your week 4 champ match. It took me all of two minutes to see that you're trying to rewrite history (and without admin privileges to edit posts good-luck)

I get it, you think you're the greatest and therefore no one should ever be able to beat you... but guess what, everyone has a bad day. Anyone can lose on any given day. No one who competes for any real length of time can have a flawless record.

You've got issues with people, whatever. When you distort what happened to try and push your agenda it doesn't help you down the road (think boy who cried wolf, I'm sure you have a few verses flipping that subject)

Either take the votes on the chin like a man or sign out and troll from the sidelines. But don't drag us down with your bullshit, please.

And this is from someone who's looked at your writing with great appreciation for over a decade. Your work is a large part of what drove me to try and be a better writer.

oh my bad, let me rephrase: every time someone votes against you*

Good to hear.

Thank you.

FYI, I’m not trolling at all.

I always post, on time, before deadline and without asking for an extension.

I don’t allow extensions. I don’t expect to be granted an extension. I posted on time before deadline, he didn’t, I win.

Universe and Bodeys issues with me are around Week 4, after the things you mention, so that’s a mute point to be honest but Uni only rescinded that vote way after the battle was already done as a contest.

What if someone really needed the extension because they are in the hospital?

THIS.

*moot point

I think that's what a "mute" point is...

Lars, I think you should reconsider your position and allow the match to go to votes for the betterment of the league. Thoughts?
