Announcing Rapverse.com
IP:
If you haven't noticed, Rapbattles Relaunched has moved off the rapbattles.com domain and onto its own domain - rapverse.com. Be sure that you update your bookmarks as we will be removing the link to Relaunched off the rapbattles.com domain in the next month or two.
With the new domain, comes the much anticipated battle system that has been in development for over a month. No more worrying about people not dropping on time, not checking in, who should post first, or random people spamming or swaying in your battles. This may be one of the most advanced battle systems available on any rap battle site. The new battle system is currently active in Front Lines, Elevated Front Lines, and Audio Battles. Instructions on using the new system are below: BATTLING Setting up a battle is now easier than before. In a battle forum, click the New Thread button and you will be taken to the next page to set up your battle, with the house rules already filled in. Change the rules as you see fit, scroll down and paste your opponent's name into the Option 1 box, leaving your name in Option 2. Next determine if you want to leave the default post requirement or increase it for your battle. After that, decide the times you want people to check in and to drop their verse, in minutes. After the battle is setup, all battler interaction will be completed in the first post of the thread (the rules post). You will check in and drop your verse in the form in that post. Posting your verse as normal will not work. Here are the current situations and what happens with the automated battle closing / disqualifying system: Either opponent not checking-in in time = Battle Closed Both opponents check in, but do not post their verses in time = Battle Closed Both opponents check in, but one misses the deadline = Disqualification Once you have checked in, you signify that you accept to the rules and the verse due time is set in stone. If you cannot drop your verse in time or disagree with the rules, do not check in by declining the battle or check in later. We will not be manually closing battles using the new system anymore in RB Complaints as everything is automated. VOTING When both opponents has dropped their verses, the BATTLE indicator in the thread listing is changed to dark blue from light blue (old battles are light blue too). To vote, read the verses and post your feedback in the field inside the post containing the verse you want to vote for and then click the Vote button. Since the verses are anonymous, you will not be able to tell who the poster is (to prevent D/R) so if you want to mention what the other guy did wrong, you'd have to say "The other guy.......". If you want to leave feedback, click the feedback button instead of the vote button. Your post will be noted on whose verse you had voted / left feedback on. If you have any questions, or if there are any problems, let us know.

We haven't decided on the crew situation or whether to allow PMing for votes again yet. Quote:
This was a bug that has been fixed. I have went in and tallied all the votes that were affected. Nothing has been changed in the old battles as the new system has additional data that must be stored, which isn't available with battles already created. Quote:
Most likely no... it will be just a link to click to enter your forums until we find the time to build the home page for the front page..... Got to eventually earn back the money we spent acquiring the site

Quick note.... after you click the button to check in, when you post your verse, you MUST post it in box in the first post (where you had previously checked in). If you use the Quick Reply box at the bottom, other people WILL NOT be able to see your verse. Only you, your opponent, and the people who already voted will be able to see the full thread when the battle is still open.
This was done to reduce swaying and the cluttering up of the thread. Guests and voters will only see the rules, and the 2 verses and nothing else. To bump your battle, you'll bump it like normal... just post something that'll updated the time on the thread.
