Also don't worry if other people will do it or not. If you can do it, thats all that matters. One by one we get more and more people until its inevitable for cats to join. And if it dont work out and we only get 12 people, I'll give everyone a refund. Or come up with another payment solution. Like take money orders, or checks or some shit. But I mean shit its the new century. Every muhfucka has to have a credit card. Im sure your parents do. Just say look I want something that costs $5.....

Man.. I don't like this idea... this is getting too GAMBLING

this net thing... it's suppose to be FUN - plus some of these kids are like 13-14 they could never pay up.. I don't like this idea at all

Your pushing it alot here

This is just a hobby.. plus... the winner should get 100% of the pot.. no matter what.. after all HE WON.. this is mostly a scheme to make money than a tourney for peeps to enjoy

AMEND 07-26-02 03:40 AM

word to that nigga^

i wouldnt do it, 35%?
and plus niggas are too scared to send money over the net, you cant trust ANYONE on here....
i dont see it happening

There's no sugar coating it. This is gambling. What is your point though? Everyone is well aware of this, and if not then now you are. However gambling on something like this sets limits. You cannot go into debt entering one tourney every two months. And rather then odds and luck, the winner is determined by skill. This is fair. A level playing field if you will. Without the casino's odds heavily weighing down to there advantage. This type of gambling eliminates everything corrupt and wrong with gambling today.

And you say this Net shit is supposed "to be fun." Are you saying with the element of money being existent, its less fun? I think it increases the proverbial "fun factor" by ten fold. Two dollars won't make or break anyone's piggy bank. And brings tons of enjoyment and competition in exchange. In addition this tournament is completely optional. If the money proposed is too much, or you find gambling intolerable by all means don't join. But don't come in here and discourage those of which who show interest in this idea. All you did above was state the obvious. Everyone is well aware what they are doing. Save the moral lessons for Oprah.

Now in your reply you said "this is just a hobby." Well, I play basketball as "just a hobby." And always put a ten or two on a game...Does this make it a job rather then a hobby? No, it makes things interesting. I think your strict, conservative upbringing has diminished all enjoyment present in your life. For you to come in here acting as a mother figure is completely outrageous. A high school teen giving life lessons on something he has never experienced or participated in. The case of the kettle calling the pot black? ha

As for the portion of pot that will not be going to the winner will only compensate the amount spent/lost on server fees each and every month that you all to often take for granted.

I Love This Idea..Wait..Forgot I Wasn't An Admin..:(

Nefarious Lev 07-26-02 04:20 AM

Naw, I ain't feelin' it too much....If you get an age limit on it and everything it's cool....Yeah, I guess it's straight since it will be hidden from the normal browsers who are not invovled....Yeah, it's pretty straight...I wouldn't join it though..haha...




Didn't think I'd jack you did ya - Ninjetic - HerbZ -? hahaha

Shadow 07-26-02 04:31 AM

hahaaha at the sigs

rar one 07-26-02 05:45 AM

WHo gives a fuck about an age limit.. Shit even a 12 year old can dig up two bucks, just cash in some cans shit.. Also you could just make it so you the tourny starts when all the money is in.. If not enuff people join kick a few out and just make it for less people.. Of if only a few show up, refund there money..Easy..

An yes, its tru shadows making money off it, but he's also providing it...Shit when you go to Real rap battles an like 1000 people come, at a 16$ door fee, an 1st place only gets 2000$ were do you think the other 14G's go??? Same thing goes here cept the winner will walk away with more of the pot than in a normal rap contest..
I personaly think this is an ill idea, an I'd do it.

plus you need to do a series of bullshit things to be a member on paypal ....

but yo.. on the flip side....


sounds like a dope idea... since only peeeps over 18 would join in...

RealizE 07-26-02 12:48 PM

Shadow 07-26-02 08:15 PM

cash lost in I-net mail,that would be something new......if it is done through paypal,payments would be done through the i-net....so cash wouldn't get lost.....unless their was some sort of hack,crash,or other extremly rare problem that would probably never happen......
