I don't have nearly the emotional rush when I win/lose anymore.

And because RULE never responds to me in the chat box.

Y'all making a mofo want to miss Basic to help out.

you probably won't be able to but if you get time to drop a battle on a holiday or somethin get at me and ill put you in even for a month if it happens.. any activity helps tbh

I'll see how busy I am during the holidays. No promises about amount of activity, though.

Salute you for the vow to battle more. the arena could use you no doubt.

the thing with the LBT / LBA is that they work only when the demand is there.

the unfortunate truth at the moment, is that there arent enough people to sustain a monthly audio battle card.

its deffly something to keep in mind and re-address when the times right.

I wish I could be butthurt about losing, cuz when I'm playing a game where it's possible to upgrade stats & such like pokemon, if I got beat, I used to get mad & just level up my pokemon like crazy then go back & beat the gym leader's ass lmao

Emotion used to be my motivation, especially way back when I first started text battling, I'm talking fb battles lol

i dont know it seemed to create an audio section on another site when i did it just sayin....

I dont think emotion HAS to be a big part of being a active member. I never really cared about winning that much tbh.

now getting bad reviews on my bars? now THATS something that'll rile a ruler up lol.

whether losing or not is a issue to you, dont let results stop you wanting to further your craft.

my biggest opponent was and always will be, me.

and i tell you i ALWAYS try to beat that mah fucka.

RULE vs. Revan up next.

Also if anyone wants a 16/32 with me, by all means ask. I'd rather get PM's, though.

My battle with Good Grief only got 5 votes. -__-

Voting should change all imma say is those in here complaining about the cotes aint really putting the votes out there wither ....

The big vote off starting september should bring some activity to the voting ...

X

voting is an issue we can and always will continue to address.

dont be disheartened tho. nothing stopping you two from re-posting the battle to recieve more votes (hopefully lol)

& tbh there are a few rudimentary things you can do to help voting. such as leaving your crews.

harsh i know but true.

1/

Shitty voting, quality & quantity. :high:

Why does it feel like we're being pressured to leave our crews? Is that being looked at now as the worst thing to have ever happened to LB?

I battle still, but would more if I could get some more votes.

crews are great... when there 10-20 members in them and there 200+ active members on the site.

when you and your opponents crews boast 90% of the active site, something gotta give.

*Shrugs*

I like the Cash Battles idea, that definitely sparked my interest... I gotta get back on my shit & put some breaaaaaad up

surprised people havent jumped on it more.

if they had cash battlesd in 2010, i'd be riding in a limo n shit.

I don't really like sitting for like an hour thinking of my best stuff. I'm back as Masai mainly because I miss just writing some shit for the fun of it.

I never got why RULE has always focused so much on getting ACs to split.

Back when I got banned by Pugz, RULE said ACs was done for, and predicted ILL would be out within the week and suggested the crews.

ACs then won Illmania, and RULE knows for sure that when we take our second, we've bested the crew battle accomplishments of ClassicK.

I'm pretty sure in that thread I promised ACs would not be done for.

I lost interest and then every time since then that I've tried to spark that fire again and start writing it just hasn't worked. The bars just don't appear like they used to.

It gotten to the stage where it means very little to me. The reward doesn't justify the effort. Whether it's winning a GC or the personal satisfaction.

There's always another title to win. Another cocky mouth shut crawling out the woodwork right behind the last 1. Once I realized that (especially the latter) it ceased being fun and felt more like a never ending, tedious and pointless merrygoround.

In other words. I just can't be fucked.

I've gone from

seeking and relishing a challenge.
To, please someone decent step to me and give me some motivation.
To, someone decent stepping up giving me motivation only to lose all interest somewhere along the line.
To, fuck it I can't be assed at all I'm not even entertaining this anymore this shit is boring.

I've had BARE people call me a duck. But truth is I just couldn't be fucked taking the time and effort. Especially writing and recording a track.

It's Just Not "Fun" Anymore, I Could Write A DOPE Verse And Still Get Hated On Because I'm "Student". People Expect Me To Drop Mediocre Bars And When I Manage To Actually Concentrate And Drop A Decent Punchline It Gets Overlooked OR Some Newfag Takes The Battle And I Get Like 3 Votes On It.

I'm Not Saying I Always Drop Amazing Bars, I Just Think When I Do Nobody Sees It. Maybe I'm Horrible But I'd Like To Think I'm At Least Decent From Reading And Writing Verses In The "LB Style" For Almost A Decade Now.

Writers block when it comes to battle bars/punchlines. Scheme battles are what I prefer nowadays, so I can get the punch directly from the scheme.

Having 0 desire left is hard to come back from. Hope you find some, somewhere.

Stepping up the ladder is a long process whether your a vet or a rookie.

I'd say the reason you "Still Get Hated On Because I'm Student" is more because of your low turnover of battles, rather than anything else.

Bottom line is, if you dropping hot verses over and over, it'll get through to people. They'll see.

gotta put in the work to get that paycheck.

Maybe You're Right But I'm More Towards The Category With Just C, I Have Almost No Desire To Battle Other Then People I've Been Wanting To Battle For Years.

The lack in credible votes.... And competition

I've become less and less motivated to actually want to write. Plus with a job and the fact that it's summer I don't have the time to even drop 10 battles a month.

You forgetting a certain other loss here.....

I was only counting Basic Arena battles, but yes, you did beat me. Pretty badly, too. Scheming bastard.

I was just fucking with you haha. Good battle though no doubt

I know haha. You as well. We need a rematch, though.

If Jason could make that his avy............. he would

If you guys want more activity in the text arena, just lift Barzilla's ban.

Lmao!

But watch Jason make a thread "sending 8s or 16s" and see how much people will come back to battling

Reaching though

If a few old heads were to call out some young'ns, that would turn shit up a notch. Everyone wants their shot at an old head.

RhetoriK what the fuck is good!

no doubt ,









honestly, girlfriends also are a problem ,
