Here, or BBE?

I have a finals I got to write


And I have one open @Rant

3 people have had the busiest week ever, mostly filled with planned stuff, and another guy has a tournament final he already knew he was in.

Feel like taking bets on how many people will be "too busy" to complete the 5 they said they would do.

my open

Link?

So who's actually doing this? I have most of my ideas written but if the rest of you are going to no show it then I don't want to put in the work for it to be wasted.

Guess no one. Smfh. Bye LB.

>Has already posted 4 open battles

>No one's doing it.

That lapse in logic pointed out, I'll say this. You yourself said that it would be understandable that people wouldn't be able to post all of their opens. However, there are also people very evidently making that effort. My biggest suggestion, would be start leading by example. You came up with this idea, and then posted a total number of 1 open. How can you expect anyone else to be gung-ho about this idea, if you yourself aren't following through with it?

I didn't include you in it. Also, clear hyperbole (although barely hyperbole as very close to no one was exact).

It would be understandable that some people couldn't get all 5. It isn't understandable that not even 10 people signed up (when there are like 10 active staff members alone) and barely any even dropped 2 opens.

Who is making the effort? You? That's it. That's all of them. If the others aren't going to bother their arse, then they aren't making the effort.

I'm not here to be a "leader". Fuck that. You think I wanted to lead LB out of this shit myself? And get what? A pat on the back and a ban for coughing? I just wanted LB to continue being the spot that I fucking loved being on a few years ago. The reason I wanted to get this "collective" together is because I was convinced people thought the same. Rican, Esso, ILLoKWENT...these guys made it seem like they wanted LB to get back...but when push came to the shove they did fuck all to contribute.

So the question is...who would I keep LB alive for? I don't even like battling anymore. Dirty Work, Row, Manhattan, Xercwhatever...these guys didn't even sign up. None of them are "active battlers". They might chuck out one every once in a while but they aren't out there like MaCc is. So fuck them. Am I doing it for the old guard who also loved the site? Rican, Xplissit etc? Well check the results here. None of those cunts made it close to 5 so why should I bother about helping them? They clearly didn't want to put in the work themselves. Or how about the future members who don't even exist yet, who have next to no interactivity on the site to inactivity which results in the high number of new members not joining.

Essentially, there is like 3 people here who would actually put in the work and would be worth helping bring the site back with. But fuck that. None of you wanted to put in the work. In the chatroom, essentially everyone (Rant obviously excluded in it all) was all "Yeah great idea, I love LB, let's bring it back" but you stick their name on the front page and the cunts can't be arsed putting in the work.

So fuck it. You can let the site die for all I care now. You guys can look around and see the current state. You guys can't tell me shit cause all of you knew the ideas I talked about were the best chances of bringing it back. But now you's can sit there and blame Pugz or whoever else when it's all your fucking faults this shit is in the nick it is now. So let it die already cause you's clearly couldn't give a fuck.

Great things take time. I understand your frustration, I've been in, and am in a similar state of mind regarding the site. But, that said, you can't let an idea die after six days, just because you aren't getting the results you were dead set on at this juncture. Or because only a handful of people, maybe even less, are the ones actively putting in the work so far. What if that were Steve Jobs' outlook on Apple? What if he gave it all up, simply because he hadn't made it out of the garage yet?(It's a stretch of a comparison, I know. But, the sentiment is similar.) So, again, I'd posit sticking with it. Yourself, myself, the people actually contributing(1 open or 10 opens.) If it continues to happen, then there's a continuance in the likelihood of increase. It's just a slow start, man. It doesn't mean that the finish line is unattainable. Rome wasn't built in a day, and LB can't be rebuilt in six.

That being said, I'll have no issues continuing to drop opens, regardless of who else does so.
