Battling for Cash?
 

This is a format being discussed by the staff at the present, so this is your chance to have a say.

Is this something you'd like? Would you use it? How would you like the voting handled?

Have your say now.

voting would def be an issue,most likely tha deal breaker in this situation. i lost a text battle to macc once wtf??? he 's ass and a half,shit like that would cause huge problems in my opininion.im gon think on it more and see what ways tha voting could look more promising

Definitely yes.
Same format as regular battles, or maybe, since it is for cash, only FVC or selected voters could vote on it.

Would staff votes only or FVC votes only be a solution in your eyes?

@Dono to explain why this is a bad idea.

I'm all for the idea but it will HAVE TO have a set panel of voters for something like that.

Tbh I'd like to see a system put in place that could equate to the "put yo money where yo mouth iz" system. Before the battle each battler could put up a certain amount of money, and whoever wins gets the pot. You could EASILY do this with a paypal integration button, and just have an account to be held as the "pot" that pays out automatically to the emcee that got the higher win percentage. That's just me though, lol.

Staff/FVC only voters would be a great idea. But, you'll still have those who will complain. It's unavoidable. Especially if money is involved. I dislike the idea of a pay pal integration, as, in order to use pay pal you must have a bank account, which i do not. I believe LB's own monetary system would be in order.

i personally feel that tha money where your mouth iz battles should damn near have its own panel of judges similar to fvc cuz no hate but again...autograph is fvc and he rates bnas tracks and gives em tens and might be tha worst voter ive seen in a minute,all personal opinion tho

last time @Crysis set up a small tourney for 100$, no1 showed except me & uhmazing battled. Doesn't seem like money is as great as a motivator at a GC title...

tbh... i question alot of the new FVC members.......s'why i dont post there anymore.

So you'd prefer staff only voting?

^That, or we just weed out the shitty members of the FVC...

Staff members aren't necessarily the best voters, hell, most of them are sub-par at best. The FVC have been chosen because of their voting talents, one sour apple in the basket doesn't make the basket bad.

Staff and FVC votes.. Also if heavyweights wanted to vote they can.. And also regular battle format..

The likelihood is that cash battles, if introduced to the site, would be competed in the exclusive section, with voters from a selected panel.

One bad apple sours the bunch.

Yeah, horrid analogy on my part. But in this context, the bad apples in the FVC just make us look bad, which is why they need to be weeded out.

@ILLoKWENT lol .... and yeah im down for cash tourneys.. people sign up, once the tourney is full a panel of the sites best voters goes up where only the tournament entrees can vote on who there judges are.. hell if you wanted to take it further you could make the members agree on judges or vote on judges, theres plenty of ways to do this just writing it off as another possible fail would be stupid af

Personally, I'd like to see a total of eight voters hand picked to vote on each battle. Take the best voters from the FVC & Staff teams to make up that 8, then you have eight individual, well-rounded voters providing in depth expositions & breakdowns as to why they believe the battler that they have chosen got the W.

I think present the voter options and have the contestants choose who they want voting on the battle out of the available names... thats one way.. another way too would be to make it anonymous ..ex.. baller 1 vs. Battler 2.. so that way bars are judged solely on bars and not preswayed based on name ...

^Good idea, but wouldn't work on audio lol.

A selected panel of 10-15 Heavyweights/Staff/GCs & FVC members and this could be dope
