Text battles improvements do you think ?

[X-Calibur]

Now I've got your attention let me list these idea's

These come from being an admin my self on six shot.com


So
#1 - being able to challenge anyone to beef anywhere on the site just by clicking on there name it should give you a link to send beef...

#2 - not only should we have wins and losses but we should have KO's if we win a battle with say 85% or more of the votes we should be awarded a KO this will not only give good bragging rights but will push textee's to type that verse as hard as possible

#3 - expo section with concepts name plays and wordplays always on the rise I feel expo's are being lost and peeps battles are not being voted on fairly because they type there expo in the voting columns not everyone reads it until afterbthey have voted I suggest a separate box whilst typing the battle to drop an expo in then once it goes to the booth it should have a link that says expo's given this enables the voter to see they have explained something thus making them peep it before voting thus creating a fairer vote...

#4 - the option to hide ya verse when sending private beef I don't know about y'all but dudes that just flip lines in text are lacking creativity if we could send beef to someone with the option to keep our verse hidden until they have replied I believe we would get better battles out of this. i know that when i send a battle I wont that dude to reply a.sap and not have three days reading my shit thinking how am I Gunnar top that if I had the option to conceal my verse dude would have no choice but to type what he thinks would beat me.....

#5 - weight divisions rated on your win percentage could be like user titles on there name once they have obtained these so if your win be 90% or above you be like heavy weight if you 80-90% you super middle weight 70-80% you middle weight 60-70% lightweight 50-60% welterweight 40-50% fetherweight but you can only achieve these titles once you have completed say 50 battles or all noobs with like 10-0 records will be thinking they heavyweights...

#6 - more voting categories I feel we need an option to get rated on personals and name play


This is all I can think of at the minute

#5 won't work, because being a heavyweight has nothing to do with wins/losses. For example, say someone had a 10-10 record. That would be considered a welterweight according to your scale. What if they had done 20 battles against top tier members with wins against: RULE, ReeFer, & DaDDiO, & losses to UA, Jason, & Illimit? I'd classify a battler like this as a heavyweight. Your way would encourage sniping so that members could have that good record & "heavyweight" title.
—Knowledge dropped.

#2 definitely would not work for the simple fact of those we refer to as snipers. Plus the Admins aren't going to sit and determine which battle would be considered for a KO or not.

The KO would be determined Automatically I think. As soon as that percentage hits 85% or higher it will register as a KO. just like the system does for a win

This has been one of the things on the top of my wishlist for a minute. It could potentially help increase activity in the battling arena a lot.

This is a cool idea but how do you put that on the record? Just say A-B with C KOs like in boxing?

I don't know how necessary this really is but it is a neat/good idea. There's plenty of potential for people to just not click the expo link. Maybe an onMouseOver with a little text box that comes up? That might be a little more efficient and more likely to succeed. That would probably take a good bit of coding to go about doing but when I link this thread to Pugz, assuming he hasn't seen it already, he might have a slightly better idea than I would. I don't think it would be easy though.

Blind drops have been talked about for a while now and I think we should do it.

Leagues like this have been discussed for a while but it's not something we can just throw onto the system. I would imagine there's something in the works but what you're talking about is a very labor intensive peice of programming so I wouldn't be looking for it in the very near future. If I recall correctly there was something like this being worked on for Fly Hip Hop where users were ranked according to their win percentage vs the number of battles total and something else. I wouldn't mind (<- See what I did there?) seeing a system similar to that where the rankings of opponents was also taken into consideration. That way if you battled somebody with a higher ranking in your bracket it would count for more than if you battled someone who had just entered it. This is all hypothetical and would require a LOT of work and coding though. Hopefully it is something that comes into fruition at some point in the future though.

I don't think we really nead these. Personals are just a sub-catagory of punchlines and name play is just a sub category of word play to be frank.

Alright. Now how would it be fixed in? With everyone sniping, all you would see is a bunch of KOs here and there which can be misleading by far. If this option would work, it should be worked in with a lot of aspects on top of private battles. It should actually play the roll of an option or granted permission. Too much time would be spent on the blueprint alone to make that work.

If it was done in conjunction with a league system where people would only be able to battle in their bracket then sniping would pretty much die off and the system would work. Hypothetically of course.

That might be possibly the only way. However, the fact still remains, the blueprint itself will take a good length of time. As far as a league system, that would be an idea I would push. Yes, could take some time but will definitely put out a lot of quality battles and votes (from only those in that league and higher).
