start the 1-2 punch league back up

[Certain]

I think the problem falls mostly on half-assed commitments from the elite writers and battle moderators. Since I've been here, these are the tournaments that ran:

• Summer Classic V: Run by Knucklehead until he got bored, then run by God of War and Meth.
• Fall Brawl II: Run by Strikta until he got bored, then run by Meth until he got bored, then run by CtrlF4.
• Tag III: Run by PancakeBrah, but featuring a no-show in the finals by Hall of Famers Orc and Hush.
• The Elements: Run by God of War until he got bored, then run by Meth, featuring a no-show in the finals by Hall of Famer Bags.
• Key Grand Prix: Run by Strikta until he got bored before it even began, then run by CtrlF4.
• Newbie Tournament 2013: Run by Meth, who wrote zero magazines.

Sharp Nine right now is writing a good magazine every week for the NBL and still having problems getting people to sign in and then show up and vote.

But honestly, Destroyer's idea to bring back the 1-2 league might work. No-showing in a 1-2 league is some low-level shit, and voting on those battles is ridiculously easy, as is compiling a magazine every week.

Topical leagues require so much more effort than battle leagues as a whole, though, yet the topical leagues here have been successes across the board.

this.. but you have to make the site care about the leagues/ tourneys as well


everyone cares about tourneys as sign-ups go up... but if theres no attention either from the mods, participants, or from beefs then no one is gonna click thru and vote

ninjas need a hype man who knows what hes doin
