we must find a common ground between open mic topicalists and battlers
 

there has to be an even playing field on which we can meet and do battle
they don't battle
and we don't read their open mics and shit
I'm aware some of us do, buuuut
there's absolutely no good reason that exis doesn't know who swerve is
and I think it might be a sign of the problem with activity and text in general
we need a battle type that both topicalists and battlers can compete in to unite the board.

i don't know if one exists, but if not, let's make one

Battle

or we can just keep calling each other faggots
I'm down either way. you guys decide.

@Fig


How fucked up are you on a level of 1-10

I read OMs and battles, both are entertaining in their own way.

There is a clear difference in the personality of the average text writer compared to the average topical writer though.

That's why only a few have successfully done both.

Battling is systematic and dull, because one particular style gains traction and becomes nearly the only one you can use to win a battle. Battling is fun, but bragging for the sake of bragging week in and week out just gets stale. Why do that, when I can just drop an OM about how amazing I am/you aren't and also talk about aliens fucking Sigourney Weaver or whatever? Battling is for people with something to prove.

Like a 7

absolutely true. i haven't read a battle in months.

i thought SnF was an acceptable compromise? its sort of a hybrid genre.

You are not ready for hell yet my son

dullboy, you exist in your own realm
I'd never ask you to change

a tag tourney where we pair battlers w/ topicalists might be interesting

If someone could pull it off it might just be what the site needs.

That's a big IF tho.

Alias tourney


@Orc

Topical writers, constructed verses from pictures, correct? Well, maybe picture battling would be OK for them? If they can write to some corny flamboyant picture then why not to a regular picture of their opponent? Amirite?

IMO - This site would need some type of HUGE CASH tourney thrown down to even try an revive it but honestly don't see that happening.

every fucking post

I swear

Tag tourny combining both? That's weird & don't see how it's possible, tbh? LOL

16 lines max per team, what would it be, 8 Lines of insults/disses and the rest about something gay ass we'll say the common concept "drug addiction" or "my life..." - My point is, wtf? lol... I don't even know what point I'm trying to make other then, I don't see it workin.

slayed

Continue posting behind me and followin' me, guy. You're doing a GREAT fuckin' job, bro.
