I did look at the oronym sites at first purely for inspiration which isn't unusual for me I read material, idioms, puns, battles etc. on the regular. I don't steal anything and never have done (or at least intentionally). On the day of that battle with @Jimmy Hoffa (I'll mention him here as I figure he deserves to hear this too) I had read those oronym sites. IIRC I had two bars left which I was trying to write quickly. I was browsing the oronym site for inspiration and being completely preoccupied with thinking of concepts I used the wordplays word for word. Which was completely wrong of me. In hindsight I recognise I deserved what I got for that. It was an absent-minded mistake but it was a mistake all the same.

In that first exposure thread I just panicked and got defensive and then once I had created a narrative I felt I couldn't go back or I would just lose even more respect and potentially risk further consequences.

The two accusations of biting after that have been pure coincidence. I don't know if ya'll are just combing through my shit more or what. I don't bite or cheat in anyway. Honestly I would get no joy out of winning battles on other people's bars. I made the original mistake but I give you my word I didn't set out to bite those wordplays nor have I ever.

Hopefully I can be forgiven for the original fuck up. Trust me I kicked myself a lot for making such a stupid mistake. Apologies to anyone I lied to in that original thread too, that shit feels horrible in hindsight.

Daaaaamn so what about in my thread initially exposing you when you said

Or when you said

Soo this girlfriend thing wasn't true? Because you just said you were in fact browsing them before the battle. Also denoting wreck a nice beach as "simple" to throw off the scent even tho you just admitted to "using it for inspiration" ????

sheesh.

What about here, where you literally turn my thread into an epistemological point about the sanctity of modhood and our blatant disregard for those who "work so hard" even though both you and manhattan have now been proven to ACTUALLY BE BITERS and not some mistaken crime case like you tried to portray this shit as?

Sorry Nick, you just signed your suicide note. You've just exposed that you're willing to stop at nothing to manipulate the way a situation seems to get out of it unscathed. If you all don't see this as the nail in the coffin, there is no saving this place.

Well now, by your own admission, the evidence is such that the battle is an auto loss. Let me guess, now your whole "devaluing the credibility of the staff team" shtick is about to change huh?
