salamander leading that battle over AK is deplorable even with AK quarter-assing it

@Allen Knight definitely didn't quarter ass it, and I'm sure he can be real and say he applied effort. All thou, I agree with you here and also voted in AK's favor, it is what it is... Opinions vary.

Man some of you are mighty pathetic.
Did you just talk about high level boarding and low level boarding.

Shut up and Write.
Its as simple as that.

I don't get why people don't just battle like they used to a year or so ago

Cause this site is full of has beens that just talk about what they once did back in the 90's and stroke each other's egos with the exception of a few people that show to their NBL battles.

Witty · 04-02-2014, 06:37 AM

Not really...it's because a lot of the battlers on this site have already done everything that can be done...winning tournaments across the internet, for many years.

Where is the incentive to keep going?

What is left to prove?

A lot of people are bored of it.

04-02-2014, 07:04 AM

That's fine. Some people continue doing it for the competition.

Being board of it is one thing. Thinking you are too god for it, is another. Majority of people on this forum just have the mentality of "I'm too good to battle anymore, I'll just sit in the discussions forums and stroke every ones ego and watch them stroke mine."

I get it.

Witty · 04-02-2014, 07:34 AM

A lot of people are too good for it it tho...that's my point.

Why start battling again against people who are going to be easy to beat when you have already beaten the best battlers there are?

If people were really so concerned about getting their ego stroked, it stands to reason that they would battle against lesser talent and win everything, but they don't....they don't battle because there is not adequate competition, and any competition there may be, they have already faced each other multiple times.

I don't think it's about ego, it's about lack of incentive....why even bother when there is no competition and you have already beaten the best?

IN bold is wrong. There is always competition. If you are interested in battling, you will look for it. People just stay here for the same obvious reasons I stated in my last post. Ego stroking & troll.

Witty · 04-02-2014, 07:54 AM

Where is the competition?

There is nobody on RB who can even really challenge the top guys here...why would they bother?

Text battling began it's prime about a decade ago, and it ended in about 2008...people have been doing it for a significant portion of their life...the battlers doing it today, other than maybe a handful of dudes, just don't offer the same challenge as the dudes back then did.

I was there, I've never been a text battler, I do it every so often when I'm bored, but I've seen the best of the best from all over the internet and I can tell you without lying or stroking my own ego, that the competition being offered right now is not adequate and nowhere near the level it was at a few years ago.

Why would people who were there and were at that level, continue to battle against lesser talent?

Witty, no disrespect but let's speak on a level plain field, homie. I mean, some dudes here are decent and are made out to be the dopest to ever do it. It's not about RB it's about KEEPING TEXT ALIVE, lol. The COMP is currently at RB. When was the last battle on NC? When was the last tourney at NC? When was the last anything here? I mean, @Allen Knight struggles to try an keep the NBL going, and faggots sign and an no show. NC isn't for competition but to talk shit to other people and troll. That's all this site is good for. Hell, that's the only reason why I log in. Readin have the shit that some of the retards here post is entertaining, it's basically equivalent to a female purchasing a Hollywood gossip magazine. There is no difference. All i'm saying is for those of you who actually enjoy writing, this isn't where you want to be but the fact that the majority call it your home site is hilarious, it's w/e. I do not care and don't know why I bothered typing all of this out... Fuck.

Destroyer · 04-02-2014, 08:38 AM

am I meant to believe that when salamander was dominating the shit out of NC1, that was fucking Cronus?
no way, I just don't believe it

04-02-2014, 08:46 AM

Salamander is on RB and is probably one of the top text battlers at the moment.

Zen · 04-02-2014, 08:50 AM

People still text battle?

Why the fuck would he battle here WHEN IT'S DEAD? You guys are so delusional.

Look in the BA? Dead

Look at the NBL? The shit is on life support.

Destroyer · 04-02-2014, 08:55 AM

04-02-2014, 08:57 AM

RB's poppin' Why do you think your ONLY ACTIVE BATTLERS are heading on over there. Co'mon. Des, if you like to battle, there is a couple people there you can beat probably and start with a nice clean record, lol.
