8 participants makes the first round a quarter final but I guess that's what we're working with nowadays.
dead man Certain oats PancakeBrah Frank Vulgar Zen big baby dull boy Soulstice

If any of you see this...one last time for the culture?

[sral]

Frank owes me $250

[Witty]

Shameful. That's not how a real man behaves.

"All I have in this world is my balls and my word. And I don't break em for no one"

[Candy]

[sral]

lmao if this was true, why start up a league 12 months before it ended specifically on the premise the winner would get $250?

[Candy]

[Master Rock]

[Witty]

Damn.

But he might have hope.

There could well be a market for generic stories containing basic rhyming that at first read appears impressive but upon closer inspection displays minimal talent.

[Adverse]

We can still do this if you’re all still down, any idea for a name? Unfortunately it’s June or we could have a Black August III

If Lars and Dom are in I am too.

They are the only two good enough to interest me.

I'd go through the rest of that list in my sleep.

[Dominate]

Aw shucks.

Yeah I’m in.

Requesting long deadlines and short line limits bc I’m slow af but yes I’m in.

[sral]

In.

[Mike Wrecka]

Witty is best known for being a shittier version of oats. Who is really just a shittier version of pancakebrah. So he’s basically like three times removed from actually being good. Oh and btw that was like at least ten years ago. First round ko for him

[oats]

lol what?

[Adverse]

Dominate Objective Master Rock Candy symetrik Mike Wrecka sral Witty

You boys ready? I’m going to get this up and running by Wednesday. Working on a mag now. We’ll either need to get a a sub forum going or I’ll just hijack the open mic section

In truth, Witty was around before Oats, and their styles aren’t actually all that similar. Witty switches up schemes far more frequently and doesn’t tend to stick to a rigid rhyme structure.

The style you see from Oats is very much a product of the board he came from, similar to deadman actually (at least his earlier work), but the two aren’t all that similar to me (and I come from the same board). The sheer Open Mic talent to have come from RB is insane. They’re one board where the topical heads may outweigh their battlers in terms of top tiers.

[Regulator]

I will do it if frank isn't in charge LOL.

[Etherwave]

I wanna play

[Adverse]

Alright we’ve got 12 thus far

Will keep taking sign ups until tomorrow

yup, and hijacking open mic has worked in the past :D

[Objective]

Good shit Adverse

[sral]

Hijacking the Open Mic forum is actually how things were done before “Topical Leagues” were a thing. They just gathered enough attention that eventually they got given their own little sub forum to save the other OM drops being buried beneath the threads.

Interesting, I wasn’t around for that but I remember that’s where the GWL started when you were running it.

We might have to do The Battle Arena though as I have mod privileges there

[Candy]

yeh im ready to rumble

[Mike Wrecka]

Adverse just ask Diode to make a sub forum he is around

You need an interview for the mag?

That’s a good idea I’ll send you some questions soon

[Candy]

im up for interviwe for the mag

[Etherwave]

Bump? Lol

[Mr. J]

Well if y'all are letting biters join....

I might as well teach

[Adverse]

I don’t think this sounded as fly as you might have intended it to

Start date is being pushed back to Friday guys I need a couple more days to sort out all the details but the matchups are set

symetrik vs Sinacog
Witty vs Etherwave
Candy vs Regulator
Master Rock vs Objective
Lars vs Mike Wrecka
Dominate vs Mr. J

[Objective]

How many days are we given to write? I'm fully packed the entire weekend so if you plan to set it on Sunday I most likely won't find time to even put a line down.

[Saint]

In for replacement

[Mike Wrecka]

Ya Adverse , dude , post the match ups on Monday , no one’s writing on the weekend.

[Candy]

cool

[Witty]

Witty is best known for being a shittier version of oats. Who is really just a shittier version of pancakebrah. So he’s basically like three times removed from actually being good. Oh and btw that was like at least ten years ago. First round ko for him

Both of those guys are definitely better writers than me. None of us have even remotely similar styles.

I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm still much better than you though.

Love you lots.

Still in.

Lars vs MW and Dom vs Mr J should be two great battles.

Do you got a discord to remind me adverse I don’t be on forums much anymore

[Objective]

Do you got a discord to remind me adverse I don’t be on forums much anymore

Why sign in if you don't plan to be active or isn't that interested? He runs the thing, put a 3 day per week event reminder in the calendar app on your phone to write, post and vote if it's a difficult task to remember.

[Witty]

Etherwave

I don't know you, I imagine you're an alias as there really aren't any new guys in this shit. I wish you well but please understand you are about to face an animal.

Give this battle everything you have because if you don't I will rip you apart. I'm in the mood and that is bad news for every single other person in this tournament.

Whoever you think is the GOAT knows exactly what I'm capable of. Go ask them about me.

Let's do this.

[sral]

If he needs to ask about you, you're doing something wrong.

Yea but the anticipation would be real I would be setting around and waiting for that alarm like any day now, any day now then when in I least expect it I will get an alert for forum stuff I usually just snooze those haha

[Etherwave]

[Etherwave]

I'm not an alias but I'm not new either. And I love animals. In fact. I eat them sometimes.

[Etherwave]

Also not a guy. Haha

[Candy]

is it you from rapbattles

[sral]

If I can be completely truthful, I already believe there may be too much time have passed between the initial excitement of signups and something happening/threads going up/magazine posted etc. It has to happen relatively quickly to gain momentum and sustain it while there’s an active interest, there’s been some considerable downtime in between the two so far and I think interest will have waned for some. I can already anticipate some noshowing.

[Candy]

like my dude but there always is

[Objective]

Ye, that's a you problem, not really fair to ask others for help on something like that lmfao

Also, why ain't the threads up or any updates on when they'll be up? Looks like my weekend got thrashed by rain and the plans have been postponed, so definitely motivated to write some soon

[sral]

It’s probably been too long now between the initial thread idea and things getting started.

[Mike Wrecka]

If a ridiculously good mag dropped today it might revive this tourny BUT it is on life support

[Etherwave]

Nah nah. Keep the same energy. Witty gotta pay for his underestimation. Hahaha

[Master Rock]

I believe in Adverse

[Witty]

Also not a guy. Haha

Let's go.

[Etherwave]

Let's go.



Pre battle!? Warm up battle? Some pick us a topic.

[Witty]

Sorry? What?

I don't warm up. I don't practice.

I'll rip you apart in an actual battle. I don't play pretend.

Yeah. This is actually a really good point.

[Objective]

Adverse, are you pulling a Frank or will battles be up soon? Innovator, are you pulling a Innovator and run it instead of the initial dudes motivation to run one?

[Master Rock]

My excitement has not waned.

[Objective]

My excitement has not waned.

Same thing here. Been in a writing mood as of late, and even tho most have just been writing practices and having fun with shit I'm looking forward to something like this. I don't think that will dissipate or wane off any time soon

[sral]

Well, it certainly has for me, I’ve got paid battles to do rather than worry about whether Adverse might decide to run something again.


Consider me out.

[Etherwave]

Haha. Ok. Fair enough.

[Master Rock]

Has anyone seen the location of the summer tourney?

[sral]

It’s been pushed back to the 30th Feb 2025

[Witty]

Well, it certainly has for me, I’ve got paid battles to do rather than worry about whether Adverse might decide to run something again.

Yep.
