Jesus Christ quit squablin...
Use the brackets Noble did for the DoJ Tourney for Topical brackets.
I actually think Topical battles would go over better if you went with the pic and rules in the thread and dropped in a 64 text battle and update the OP with the battle link.
Top 4 lines go to Topical battle, link to pic, Title, space, 60 lines to write.
Actually getting credit for the win might be more incentive to actually participate. It would also get battles noticed more by other users who have no clue the topical secion even exists.
Also under this format, you could drop more opens, because people would see what type of battle it is. Keeping track of stats would be easy enough just by having a rule that all topical drops get the battle link posted in a given thread and you just update the wins every day or so. Hell, use the UNRANKED text battle section for topicals, noone ever uses that anyway. Maybe @
Mindless or @
Pugz could rename that section to Topical Battles.
As for mods, I said in the other thread Dono should do this, with help if people see it nessisary, but it's really not as intensive as people think it is. If not him, anyone with dedication to the task would be fine. It's not like they can burn down the site. Just could do a good job as well.
You all better get your shit together though cuz I do plan on droppin a couple in my spare time when I'm not fucking around with this new site shit. Imma be the RULE of Topicals, cuz I'm one poetical motherfucker.
