Crews offer immediate interactivity for new members. Because the majority of the site left standing are "vets", we never offered the day 1 text battler a crew, so they lost that interactivity.

For your first day battlers, crews and open battlers are pivotal.


Manny, Aggo, Phe, Cry, enf, Ill, Sand...any of you guys as amused as me that ACs got described as a "super crew"? Haha.

Super-Crew based on size. Combined with Chloros it was huge at points.

I agree with the points you're making though.

I dont think it was much of a problem because of activity at the time. Also because we "created" worthwhile voters I dont think there was a specific hindrance in voting.

I wouldn't dream of it right now though. The site couldn't do with those numbers in one place.

Btw im not being defensive cause I agree with you. Probably in lbs entire history, no two people know more about smaller "second best" crews than me and you. Assassins Alliance Vs USS v2 in the shadow of MFD kinda stuff. Multiple smaller crews enabled those classic top 5 lists.

Actually, just before my lunch break id over, would anyone be interested in this:-

10 or so of us make a crew with a members cap of 10. One "vet" is allowed to join you. The goal is to recruit up and comers, prospects or new guys. In November, we run an Illmania with the crews left standing. Thoughts?

All fact.

Purge never had that many members. Nigga Cloverfield had quite a few. You just be talking out of your ass not stating a single fact. And when it comes to flowing on a beat, I'm better than every nigga in any crew you was ever in. You can't sit and brag about anything text wise as if that makes you important LOOL. Fuckboy.

Plus we need all the voting we can get.

Leads to timeless discussion about who's a vet when y'all (not me cause I'm dogshit ) But just make crews, have babies, show them the ways and battle like SPARTACUS AND FUCK SOME FINE ASS BITCHES, dam Xena? :grass:

No one has had a real beef in such a long time. Crews ruined live battling too.. Now everyone's too friendly and when they battle it turns out lackluster cuz they don't wanna kill their opponent and really go for the neck.

Cliques lead to no shit

Yeah it was 30 deep at one point I believe with both crews combined, all up and comers. Good shit

Yeah I could name crews but no idea what happened in them, remember doing crew cyphers though, those were legit.

This seems cool, get like 3-5 new guys each.

Never mind. Who one the site would actually do it? There aren't enough people who would put their ego aside to actually try and do something like this.
