Text Tournament #2 - Proposal
 

I took the liberty of checking your 'Concluded Tournament's', and couldn't help but notice this idea has been tried before. It appears the idea had moderate success. I'm proposing we hold another one. This would be run my me, and 1 or 2 of RL's 'vets'. (In case you have any doubt that I couldn't do it alone.) Below is a breakdown of how it would work...

Previous Problems..

1. Too Many People - I think you had 64 or some insane number like that. That's just too many, making it less interesting and too hard to add extra's like a magazine, or 'best punchlines'. In this, there will be only 16 people - split into 2 divisions. In other words, it's like the NHL playoffs. Yes, you will be tiered as decided by myself and the other members in charge.

2. No-Shows- Other tournaments have threatened to ban no-shows or remove post counts. Frankly, I don't think we'll have enough power to do this. Instead, one of the tourament organizers will battle you, and try to knock you out. (Unless we're all too lazy, in which case we'll find some random kid in the frontlines to do our bidding for us.)

3. Herbs Galore - I realiaze RL prides itself on letting everyone participate, but this has got to be a little different. This doesn't have as much to do with your talent, as it does with you showing. It's a fact NasHomie88 won't drop a battle 7 times out of 10. I want people to show and make a decent effort.

4. Votes- I know there is alot of D/R on this site, and I'd like to try my best to eliminate that. Basically, if it's obvious to us one person came harder - we'll give it to them no matter what the votes are. (Although this decision must be unanimous with the tourny admins.) Also, you will have to vote on 3 or 4 battles each round - or face a DQ.

More ...

I want in! Drop your name, and i'll review your previous battles and make a decision. Please let me know if you want to help run this. I'm looking for someone like L.I or even Carson- who's gained some recognition on this site. So you'll need a fair number of posts. (Sorry.)

Why the fuck should we let you be in charge? I can't answer this, other then to say; trust me. I'm more capable then my post count reads, and i've got more experiance on other sites. Basically, I just want this to go off smoothly.

Name? Suggest some 'creative' things we could title this.

I'd love to get some more feedback on this. (Hopefully positive.) So yeah...

sounds a good idea...whats ur original alias if u dont mind me asking?

I like the no show proposal aswell.

It's the same name, I'm sitting at around 700 posts over there. Which may not seem like alot, but that leads me to the biggest problem with the original RB... it's too hard to make a name for yourself over there. Too many kid's D/R old vets, who aren't nearly as good as there ego's may suggest.

Anyway, that's why i'm here.

^sorta agree

Meh, it doesn't matter. That's just how I personally feel. Anyway, are you in for this?

Edit: Oh shit, it looks like you've got alot of experiance with this. Join the admin team.

yes definately I would like to participate in this & no one gives me the credit but I think im a decent battler here so yeh...:)

Im Down For Whatever............................

count me in.

in again :thumbup:


should be ran better this time if it goes down

Yeah, I guess I could tear a tourney up again......this time I won't just drop a no show verse when I get far.....

word last tournament should have been

me vs enygma

^^^wut happened

i wasnt around an he just posted some bs cause he lazy :thumbup:

so we got beat by luck

Yeah.....I knew SPuL was ass so I spit a shitty ten lines. He spit an even worse 20 or so and won for more lines spit......gay shit, really

I'm not sure who ran the last one, but i'm sure this will be better. Apotheosis - are you in as a battler or admin? Let me know.

Remember... this is all tenative, until I can get an approval from Strobe or Cprogress.

hey karl merks i would like to help mod the tourney i am modding the topical league with shadow and i ran the topical tourney for a week or so then stepped down...so just hit me back...if not ill be a battler...but im lookin to be a mod ~!1!~

^ Alright, I've got no problems with you being a mod. Currently... me, you, and Apotheosis (Still waiting reply.) would mod it. I like that.

It appears RL's upper level talent is flooding in. I expected more newbs to be jumping at this, but we'll see in the morning. Keep signing up.... :thumbup:

me In

yea, YOUR fault not mine. Jus because you post 10 shitty lines, thinkin' I wouldn't show. I mean, you posted in the mornin' of the last day. So yo fault. pc

Droppin my name...By the wway lol..records mean nothing :P

yeh karl I can help. I would like to battle aswell but I got no problem helping. Pm me ur AIM or msn if u got them & Ill speak 2 u about this

i'll be in it again...

yeah sure ill be down

Count me in for this.

I'm in this. Good idea.

i like this idea..
i would be down for a text tourny..
pz.

ya ok sure ur right yup ok thnx

FlOw- i've taken your name off the list of battlers, as you'll be restricted to mod duties.

There are still 2 spots available at this point.

Missed the FL Tourney on RB Original so I'm down for this.

^ I rushed my verse in that, and ended up losing in the 2nd round.

Anyway...

1 Spot left.

im down

K, it's over now.

All 16 spots have been filled.

jpoll i want in

J-Poll can replace 2HarD2LoSe.

2Hard - sorry man, but you lose out this time. Obviously it's nothing personal, but I needed to make room for J, and you were the weakest on the roster. Keep elevating, and you'll be a lock for the next one.

Anyway, I'm serious. No vacancy.

Yo, The reaper wants in here

thanks man...sorry i didn't register earlier...been working my ass off all day...

The Reaper can wait for the next one.

^word. All those in deserve to be in....people who deserve to be in who I dont think have posted is E Looch no one else.
