I love how much you bring up that topical final and then say you don't even care. Everyone on IMs were hitting me up about it. Just for the sheer fun of defeating you in this argument, lets go into that facts. Firstly, I asked you, name by name, if it was alright for certain guys to vote. You, name by name, said yes. Your problem only arose when they voted against you.

The text stars thing wasn't a tournament. That's just a lie haha. It was one round, no rules on who votes. Again, explicitly stated and encouraged to get outside sources by THE HOST HIMSELF.

In the actual tournament all the voting was done by participants.

Now how am I supposed to argue with you if you aren't even using factual statements?

That topical was just an example of something I could have blown up as a conspiracy the way you do with every small thing. I never held the title though fuckboy, you only took the effort to get it put into effect under someone's name after I lost it to your crewmate.

Curious how you tend to remember every detail of arguments that support you and forget important points in ones that don't.

Fiddy's just a capo, all he can do is bite single concepts.

When you get to leader status you've got to be able to bite opinions of other peoples and even whole tracks, huh @Jack Skellington ? I haven't done an original anything for years.

I'm getting pretty good at it.

You can bite me all you want. no no homo because secure men don't no homo.

@Dono, so you're saying Sign7 encouraged you asking people to vote for you???

Also, the title was being given to the winner of you Vs Dirty Work, as per NOBLE's instruction.

[Dono]

Sign wasn't running that event, he might have organized it but it was Chris' event. On Chris' site with Chris' rules. I have a vague feeling sign is also named Chris, but that's not who I'm talking about.

And yes, he encouraged it.

"Nothing about any of this battle shit is objective. At all. You want me to be honest? The times I get the most votes and win the most shit is when I'm most active on the site helping others elevate and being involved. You think that's a coincidence? It's how things operate. You make connections with people and things fall into place differently. If more people like me than like you, then I win. Everywhere, at everything."

I hope not everyone thinks this is true. Is it a factor for some folks? Of course but hopefully it's not the majority. If it is why bother battling at all? If this is the truth though, then changes need to be made somehow. Maybe all battles are anonymous until after voting.

[Dono]

That was hyperbolic to some degree, but it's also true to a degree. I mean you can't write pure shit and get away with it, but in a close battle between two people of similar technical skill level, the one more well liked with more influence and a stronger image will win every time. I'm willing to bet on that.

I'm sure you've seen 'legends' winning battles that are questionable. A voter's expectations before a battle play into how the votes come out. The verses are definitely NOT the end all be all.

And being anonymous would help to a certain degree, but in audio your voice can come out highly unique and quite a few people actually have distinct writing styles as well. Only so much you can do to mediate things.

At the end of the day, voting is all preference. And there are plenty of ways to influence preferences on a site of this size.

Are you running out of ideas for instrumentals again? Don't get me started, hahmie. I'm not in a mood you want to see.
