NETCEES HALL OF FAME POLL
A whole lot of site veterans and administrators should have received a private message with a Hall of Fame ballot. If you didn't, too fucking bad.
(Also, does anyone know if Lefty is still around? He doesn't have an account on this site.)
But alongside the selected voters, I wanted to incorporate the people with a thread and poll here. The poll will count as one vote for anyone who finishes about 50% after I discount any alias votes.
dead man
Accomplishments:
Art of Writing League Season 1 champion
Site-leading three Open Mic Hall of Fame verses
The case for: dead man is widely viewed as the best Open Mic writer on the site, and he is one of the most active writers in that section. But when he has commited to topical writing here, he has been excellent, winning the Season 1 title and finishing as runner-up in The Winter Topical.
The case against: dead man has a habit of not participating in competitions or no-showing too often when he signs in.
ill nik-A
Accomplishments:
Summer Classic VI champion
Battle Arena traditional and picture champion
Picture Battle Tournament champion
Two-time champion of both the Netcees Battle League and Netcees Writers League
One Open Mic Hall of Fame entry (on the previous version of Netcees)
First person to win 40 battles on this version of Netcees
The case for: ill nik-A is one of this site's most active and respected battlers, and now he has a major tournament title to go along with all of his other wins. He's completely dominated the Battle Arena on this version of the site. And he participates in everything and doesn't no-show often if ever.
The case against: He doesn't have quite as many overall titles as others, but that's mostly because none of his championships came in keystyle tournaments.
Neighbor
Accomplishments:
Six-time Fight Night champion, including Fight Night of Champions
Champed the Pic Key Grand Prix and BA Slugfest
Champed 1-2 Season 1 and has been the league champion twice
Champed Netcees Battle League
Held Battle Arena Swag & Flow title
Won Newbie Tournament II
The case for: Neighbor is widely seen as elite in swag and flow and keystyle battles, and he's more than held his own in traditional battles. His Open Mic and swag and flow verses offer some of the best rhyme schemes around. He also has lost a number of tournament finals, generally to other top-tier battlers.
The case against: Most of his accomplishments came in keystyle tournaments. And he seems to have all-but disappeared lately and has a bad habit of no-showing.
Vulgar
Accomplishments:
Art of Writing League regular-season champion
Two-time Gimmick Battle League champion
One-time Fight Night champion
Write Week II champion
One verse in Open Mic Hall of Fame
The case for: Along with being one of our most versatile writers as both a battler and topical writer, Vulgar is one of Netcees' foremost roasters. He also gives great feedback and is one of the most active people in the Open Mic forum. He has won many picture battles and some traditional battles, and he almost never no-shows.
The case against: Vulgar doesn't have a ton of accolades, though part of that is because there haven't been enough available to topical writers.
