You dont see true artists compete in a painting competition unless its all the same painting

Starting from scratch offering a site with topicals only wont work

That is so very incorrect.

The point of it is that you DO interpret each piece individually and then you vote for the piece you preferred based on that interpretation...I don't see how that is contradictory or limits subjectivity?

Two people write to the same topic...like two artists drawing the same picture and seeing which is better...like your example.

Why would we need to start from scratch? We could just do it here...all it would mean is that there might not be an active disc forum, the people writing topicals would still be here so the competition would not be effected....why would topical writers leave just because text writers did? Why would text dying mean Netcees dies?

It is dead right now...and the topical side has never been stronger.

With the painting there is only technical aspects, both artists are painting the exact same thing and the winner is determined by who is more acurate



Topical is different you write about your own take on the subject and that is stupid to choose a winner thats like saying "well writer A had a better verse over writer B cuz such & such" when its about how we interpret the topic in the first place

Topical writers do not battle. They compete. There is a difference. Nothing about a topical competition is a battle. Battling is basically done either regular or picture. Topicals compete to showcase who has the better piece.

It's how the site is ran. How the noobs are greeted in an un welcoming fashion that prevents this site from growing. It's the aliases supporting each other and leaving even less room for a noob to get a fair shot. It's most of the communities fault what state the site and text is in. Blame yourselves.
This site has it's moments but it always veers back on the wrong path.
This may change with another site but netcees is but a burning coal now.

I see what you are sayin' but there is a difference, all thou both are competing but just in different ways.

Battle: You belittle/insult your opponent. Guy with the better insults/punchline wins.
Topical: You are show casing your ability to write about some corny gay picture. The better the piece in regards to whatever areas are categorized are judged wins.

Kind of like:

Fighting vs Beauty Pageant, feel me? lol...

Like you arent insulting your opponent lol but what Im saying is it defeats the purpose of a topical



Topicals were designed for your 'take' on a subject


Saying someones 'take' is wrong is against its very nature
