Nameless battles
Should there be a way to post a battle verse without revealing the writers name? I've seen some people talk about votes being swayed by who is writing it. I think someone said some shit like that on the lock vs mel battle? Might be wrong on that. But just curious if that should be an option.
In which I mean not revealing either battlers name until the battle was closed.

That's a cool idea. What happens when someone comments on their own battle though to provide an expo or any other feedback. That would have to be made blind to the people also. I think if people are truly that biased in their voting it's possible they may have certain people's style of writing/battling committed to memory.

Bot entirely surely how to handle that honestly. Maybe make it so if the battler comments it only shows "emcee 1 or battler 1" whatever works.

Good Idea here, Double Double Blind Drops. I think Battler 1 & 2 would work for Expos, of course people would shout out their Crew, etc. but it'd still be less biased.

Battling you is already a nameless battle.

@ Student @ Jugular
The avatars would have to remain blind in the comments also, like with a default picture or something. With people shouting out there crews though, I haven't seen many people battle and then put their crew in the comments. Mostly their crew members comment on there with the name for support. That could possibly be another issue of keeping the identity concealed. When I go to my crew members battle I can see the votes. I guess if the votes are able to be seen it would only narrow down who's battling to people in your crew. I personally like to promote my members battles in threads at times to get them more exposure, so rectifying that would be something to consider also. I doubt someone would go searching that tediously to figure out who's battling though.

This is a good idea which has been proposed a few times before; ultimately I think it ended up being too much of a logistical challenge to get to work properly.
One possible alternative is anonymous tournaments, where all the battlers submit their verses to a host who posts them on their behalf so no one can tell whose is whose. Thus far it’s only been done with topicals, but I think the idea could be trialled with standard battles?

I like this idea. Perhaps keep it on tourneys only though. Seems like attempting to set up a site wide "anonymous" emcee would be challenging.
