I've actually decided that I don't think poetry battles should count for the overall site record here. I respect poetry and I respect the association/league, but it feels counterproductive to attach site records to it. There are league records, which is enough, IMO. 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. :-)

[sral]

Destros got the Inno battle, no harm no foul

[sral]

I dunno if he'll be in the poetry ish, keep @ing him though and bring it to his attention. He might play. He only usually signs up to ish if I make him aware of it, he doesn't lurk here as often as me

The AOWL guys should def tag him though, his record doesn't do him justice and he's got record for showing to battles he's had

Wasn't tagged but

Maybe make Playoffs battles only count for site records?

[Diode]

is iambic pentameter a requirement

[Destroyer]

if these battles don't count towards our site record, then you can leave me in indefinitely

[Inno]

Vulgar

Doesnt matter to me


Tbh i dont care for wins or losses. I just want to write and improve my craft.

Some one teach me how to edit, I obviously cant so it lol

[sral]

yeah I'll sign in if records are disabled

[Diode]

i'll poop in a bucket and sticky a thread about it if records are disabled

EGO.

[sral]

damn right ego, I went through the last two topical tourneys here undefeated full of the best heads still doing this

I'm proud of that ish

It's only the bottom-mid tiers who act like a record doesn't count for shit :)

but it doesn't though. think of all the Ls that aren't represented from elsewhere.

nevermind aliases, dual-use accounts, etc.

Does it really matter though lars?

I guess i havent been doing this as long as you
To care like u do, def understandable in that aspect lol

[Vulgar]

So it's settled then...

A new age of man poems begins...

[sral]

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?

[Diode]

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

yes but it's too late now.

[Inno]

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

[Destroyer]

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.

I think there will be league records, just no impact on site record (in the postbits under your av)

Got you, thanks boss

in that case vulg it's your call - do you think the people abstaining cause they don't want the L's outweighs the people battling that want the W's?

Just look at how low the participating numbers are (no offense). Automatically by disabling it, you've increased that +2 just with me and Destro agreeing to join.

It has to be worth a trial run, at least, to see if activity picks up.

[Vulgar]

Yes, leave the records outta the poetry spectrum.
