View Full Version : Are seasonal leagues a thing of the past?

No doubt you’ve all seen Sharp’s comments of recent and the SOL is now drawing to a close.

Is there a lack of interest across the board that should now lead to us planning one off PPV cards or bad blood battles etc?

It would certainly be more like the ‘cards’ were used to seeing in battle rap culture.

How frequently the PPV’s would be is another sticking point we would probably need to argue and address, but it could work.

I know Rap-Royalty had a PPV event type deal with a video hype mag that was dope to me, it got me pumped to show for it and text hadn’t had that appeal to me for a while.

It could definitely have that kind of effect.

I think it’s worth looking into.

Srs thread.

I think it's smart. I would be able to run short summer leagues at most and it's hard to find consistency in battle mods.

The problem with no leagues is, without these six weeks of battles I don't know who would be tapped for a ppv. The BA title defense (challenger announced tomorrow) was a match partially decided by who was dropping dope. Kind of hard to tell who's gonna show for a high profile match when I don't know if they can even do 10 lines

Also, the league helped stir the shit. It's making bleak vs Flow (hammering out details now) way more interesting.

I think the PPV only model is less interesting, but it may be the situation right now

The one coming up will be a good measure of how well they can work. I don't think leagues are completely dead but it's definitely not like how it used to be, when there was at least one happening year round pretty much

Tbh broke lesnar founded the ppv themed idea for forums

PBX on RB, it was a complete failure but that wasn’t his fault. He put out mags and podcasts and hyped the shit up like crazy. It was hilarious and dope and decent too

sral

The RR ones were happening way before his whole PBX thing tbh.

(2014 - just checked)

I know, because I got invited to compete, and won my battle.

Sharp

Rather than ppv I like events in general. The one thing I'm on the fence about offering to host is a site diss contest, for which you need enough people interested and 3-5 voters. Not too much work

Leagues are generally preferable, imo, and help make these events worthwhile

Blas
03-04-2019, 05:49 PM
just do a 1-2 punch league if it's too much trouble to mod the shit. that must be the easiest thing to run/get votes on & it goes quickly

Zaddy

I prefer an NBL over anything

1-2 is fun but reg leagues tend to draw more, facilitate greater activity, fewer KOs so things get more riled up.

What I really want to do is talk to Useless and BROKE LESNAR about some sort of seasonal schedule between two sites. Cross promotion and everything, so if you want to battle, you can. Tried brokering this between namix and GoW way back when but namix pulled out and GoW ghosted at the same time

I could only offer something like the SOL (8 weeks at most) over summers, so if these guys can run LLL fall or spring and 1-2 the other, we can figure out something for winter here.

The model was originally something like NC would run summer classic and a new winter tourney while LLL ran, then nbl would be fall/spring while rb ran their own tournies. If someone's out round one of a tourney, they still have a place to battle and we could cross post tourney battles that need votes

Would still be open to trying that, I think Useless would be better to work with than GoW was, but broke gives me some pause

Man, the RB staff is too fuckin close minded to ever entertain the idea of that shit. They don’t like NCs and don’t wanna do business with it

Dia
Useless
King

Etc

The only exception of an open minded person is king but he no shows all his battles over here

King is cool people but it’s ultimately up to dia and dia tries banning anyone who mentions NCs over there. Shits crazy


The only hope was Killig Spree and he’s gone now

My problem with that gay-jizz line, apart from the obvious, is that he gives away the end of the line by spelling it out as Gay-Jizz. As a reader, you can pretty much switch off from reading at that point because you already know exactly where it’s going. There’s no bait and switch. The misdirection has gone. He’s already shown his hand, the rest is just a formality writing itself to me. There’s no more to be done. I think, personally, it would have worked better if he left it as gauges. That way it still has some kind of pay off to the latter half of the line, something to leave the reader with a penny to drop and realise what he’s doing. The way it’s set out takes away from the reveal. I don’t like that.
