It was a lot of fun to have all that freedom, and battlers were always popping up in the OM with contributions because they would turn their no showed battle verses into disses. They would also separately write crew disses... so it was a dynamic crossover that worked.

Longbar boarding and shortbar boarding "cultures" are so different its kind of hilarious though
