Think it'd work out or no? What are y'all thoughts on it.

In theory it's not a bad idea. Though you can't Make a member/Force a member to battle which is ideally the concept you're putting forth.

Those who know, know flames mean shit. to those who flames mean something, they're still at the basic level of battling. & there's not much we can do about that really...most people would prefer to live in their daydream where they're King/Queen than face reality and the long road before them to improve.

What if you could make someone battle though? It's not like it'd be, you have to battle or lose your right to be on the site. It's just simply, if you want to be a member with flames then you have to earn it. People could go on w their usual activity nahmean, not everyone would have to be involved w it. Obviously, if you can't get 5 in a row or whatever the amount is nowadays then you won't need to worry about it. It'd give people with that drive to battle & improve a little more motive to do so.

Same type of idea as tourneys.

Your battle will be set up, you have a deadline to meet. If you miss it then the flame's gone. If you're not active for awhile, tough shit, earn them again. People would probably bitch for a bit but once it was known & people got use to it, I think it'd work out.

ok.. so.

Firstly i've to ask, what is it about the flames and/or people having them that you don't like?

Secondly, ^^that IS forcing a member to do something, which can't be done. You can't demand someone battle, if not their going to be punished, which is ultimately what you're suggesting. "Battle or lose the flames, tough shit".

As for the battle arena not having as many top tier battlers, Thats due to a number of things, though mainly that online forum battling isn't as popular as it was years ago. That's the bottom line of it. So if someone faces five illiterate fucks, it's not Really their fault, unless they're doing a Bnas, that the competition isn't up to par. Then to suggest that due to there being a lack of good battlers, they then must be forced into a battle to retain their flames or lose them ie being punished due to lack of competition isn't really a strategy one would see working out for a site that wants to retain what little activity it still has.

I don't care at all who has the flames, I'm simply just trying to help the site by throwing out an idea. I get what ya saying & see the points you made. I do think that it could be done, if you put feelings aside, cause at the end of the day those people would be getting upset for what? The fact that they can't just sit on 10 snipes and hold flames. I don't think any top tier member w flames would have an issue w this but I could be completely wrong.

They low amount of talent is an issue for this idea, like you said, so that would take some thought. There'd just be a lot of matches w lower tier members, which would be fine. It could hurt activity at the end of the day though, considering how sensitive people like to be, they might lose their shit if they're put in a position of competition on a battle site.

Fair points. Like I said previously, its not a bad idea but at the same time, we can't 'make' anyone battle. At the end of the day if some scrubs wanna snipe fellow scrubs, thats their business lol

This is massive FAX. 99% of what’s out there on the text arena is straight up hot garbage and audio isn’t much better. I still have PTSD from the days where I tried to vote on every open battle.

As for the flame thing, I kinda agree with what Odin said about people that know know they’re not important. Kind of like records. I mean, it would be nice if all new members didn’t think Bnas was some god because he has a great record but I dunno what we could do hahaha.
