To me it does. Winning is everything. I'm super-competitive. I wouldn't have been doing this ish 10+ years if I didn't want to constantly prove I'm one of the best to do it.

To some I guess winning is part of the fun, to me winning IS the fun.

I like to know I'm still one of the best out at what I choose to do. I don't even value multiple time champs as highly as I value people who've champed, then gone on to defend their title multiple times.

Reaching the top is one thing, having that relentless streak to want to remain there when everyone below you is gunning for your spot is another.

It's why I've stuck at it as long as I have. I thrive on the competitive side. I'm here to be the best and beat the best.

You've seen my callout to avenge very loss I've had inflicted... four pages long and not a single person could step up and say I owed them one.

Rightly or wrongly, I'm proud of that shit.

I've worked hard honing my craft.

[Destroyer]

I'd destroy u, tbh

[Hush]

I always thought topical should be kept seperate record wise from battles
it only works to hinder cross over writers

im 20-0 in txt
0-20 in topical

i care about my record so ima stick with the one i win at
or vice versa


topical should stand on its own because its strong enough too


the battle record was meant for, duh txt battles. imho

[Destroyer]

we have topical leagues and tourneys though and those wins count toward site record, don't they?
I mean shit anything written down and voted on is a text battle, IMO

[Diode]

i still think it's bullshit that fight nights count for site record. come the fuck on.

[Split Eight]

IMO if there's a winner & it needs to be voted on, it should count towards the record

Accomps> wins anyways

[Ghost1]

Can't we just make a topical record listing under battler record?

I'd rather not convolute existing and future records with "wins and losses" for participating in a poetry competition. In my eyes, this discourages battlers who want to try out poetry, the consequence being a blemish to their honorable records.

@Innovator @Sharp What do you guys think of this assessment?

@sraL Also, try to bring @MMLP back into the fold, he's welcome to set up camp in the LGPA. :-)

your call bro. I respect your opinion either way, though my 2 cents (from a purely battle perspective) is that if there is a certain amount of effort put into it (which for me is 8 lines+) then it should count. But considering poetry is much more subjective and not competitive by nature, I feel you. Especially if you think attaching the record to it is keeping people from competing.

But I gotta think about how the champ matches come to happen when there's no records. Just something to consider.
