LLL Season XXII Chat/Predictions/talk shit

somebody update me...i feel like i missed a lot of shit lol

Barc + blue have a hof thread.
2 votes yes.
1 vote no. (Me, i have my reasons. And actually my gripe is w Blue on this particular vote. Didnt vote no because of Barcotic. But i dont feel like explaining my vote. Just said no)
Barcotic then blows a gasket in multiple threads. Claims ppl are following him around to hate on him.

He then comes to the 1-2 champ congrats thread crying because he wasnt mentioned by name. Lmao.

Back to the hof thread...
MV votes no.
Barcotic loses his shit completely, in multiple threads.

As for Blue? Idk. He felt that was one of his best verses, so i understand his position. Also understand if he thinks ppl are auto voting no because its vs Barcotic, which would be shitty, considering he thinks thats one of his best drops. I get that. Valid concern tbh.

- - - Updated - - -

But heres the thing...
It dont matter how good Blue and Barc think the battle is.
Its completely irrelevant. And it's not up to them.

Otherwise, id be 100x hof because i feel like 87% of my verses are the best ever.

Which is why its irrelevant what Blue/Barc think. Its up to everyone else to vote on hof so it is what it is.

I have literally not been giving a FUCK about this site cuz the new tourney is retarded.

But after reading this I'm gonna go lap this thread up. Thanks!

Man... Barcotic ruins so much shit just by being a fucking low intelligence sociopath.

If he was smart, he would actually get whatever he wants.

But he's retarded. So his job sucks, his life sucks and he can't even get into the HOF because he literally can't handle anyone not liking him.

I don't know dude. If there was a fun league or something I would stick around. But between Barc and Zunto the nonsense to activity ratio here is off the goddamn wall.

delon wright - as I said before, best line I ever wrote.. touches on so many levels, the local Toronto angle.. fresh creative w/p, personal hit on your work, the concept is jokes

crony - double hit as you've actually referenced doing mma, weve been cool on boards forever, and ppl have called you Blue Bayou Lite (not that I agree)

dropped Jaws - lmao fire, that wording.. boom

tattle - didn't get any love but I really don't get why.. I think its pretty funny and the way I used it was cool.. love a good you don't get pussy punch

the crying about votes/battle angle - atoll fire swag bar, crack a case - jokes, dawali wp - sure I said muslim instead of Hindu, big whoop

pitching a fit - fire, and looking back I wouldn't have executed it any other way

wear with all after back to back camo pants photos in the same week(s) - lol

bar-none, good nameplay concept - maybe played? I dunno I haven't seen it, and it works great as a closer


w/e man... dope battle, that was a fun one

I can understand how you feel that way, I mean most of us do when we drop verses.

But you're only seeing it from your perspective.. for me, the breakdown of your verse in that battle is entirely different because we have two entirely different perspectives. I don't even watch basketball, so I didn't even know who Delon Wright was until I googled him this morning after reading your post. Also, does Bar mow lawns or something? You see where I'm going here.. there's no impact to me as the reader when I read that punch. Sure, I can surmise the meaning and it's cool, but it wasn't like "DAAAAMN that's fire!"

I can go on but there's no need IMO.. you have to remember that the reader(s) have their own perspectives, knowledge base, interests, etc.. if you're writing punches that rely on someone who's familiar with a (let's be honest, by all comparisons obscure) basketball player to make all the connections in your punch, then you're going to fall short. Hence the simplifying of bars that is sometimes required to ensure impact is felt by readers across the board.

But I do feel that I need to speak on one thing - because I don't like the assumption that I would ever "hate" vote. Bar's verse was HOF worthy. That's why, when I said no, I gave the reason I felt it was a "no". There's no hidden agenda, no hate, just an honest response. Take it or leave it.

Hey man you and Greedy both make some very fair & agreeable points

That said, your coming in months after and passing judgment on concepts u weren't around for.. At the time, everyone in the league knew Barc was a lawn care guy or however you title it, had seen his back to back camo pants pics, knew that we were both from Toronto etc.

Your analysis leads me to think your going to be awarding more points for generics because their more universally relatable, months after the fact that take less thought... but should my work be punished because it was more personally directed with double layered specific angles? And again, written at a time where ppl that werent in the league now voting months later won't get the references?

All things considered, should battles that get a HoF nom go to a vote right away while they're fresh, as opposed to months later at the end of a league season? Just food for thought

@Blue Bayou

I agree. I asked to put it to votes right away but meth was mod and he wanted to wait.

That being said, that battle would have got voted in still if it was given a chance

With 4 no votes? No chance

It's tainted now anyways... Tbh I just wanted to give my perspective on my verse and concepts as I was targeted as the reason lol.. now that I have, all good on my end

Sorry barc

I think you're being a little too harsh with your assessment.. "passing judgement on concepts" is quite literally twisting words to make a vote on a nomination sound like some sort of targeted agenda. How the fuck do you vote on an HOF nom without "passing judgement"?

So are you inferring I only like generic punches, because I didn't know details on a specific punch that was very tuned toward personal information I'm not aware of? Again, I don't think that's a fair assessment.

You're still spoeaking from the "I think my verse is super dope" perspective and not a employing a broad understanding of the dynamic involved here.

And stating that your work is being "punished" because you don't get into the HOF is also a very self-centric viewpoint. You're acting like there's an agenda against you simply because you didn't get the recognition from me, that you're giving yourself.

I try to be fair but I it's starting to seem like explaining myself is only pushing you further into the "I'm right, it was dope, and you're just targeting me" corner.

I mean... Its kinda shitty to taint/manipulate/sway the hof voting. @Blue Bayou this is more directed at Barcotic tbh because u at least waited til it was closed. Also doesnt seem like your accusing ppl of "hate" voting, just disappointed. I can understand that.

Imo, Barc ruined this hof nom tbh. He should've just said nothing and let votes come in.
There was only 1 vote no when he went on his rant.
So lets humor him:
Say the no votes were hate votes (spoiler: they werent. I already said my issue was w your verse, Blue. Not Barcs. $pit said the exact same thing)
You got me, spit, MV. Lets , for the sake of argument say those are hate votes.
Thats only 3 votes!! With 5 total, and 2 yes.
Why not just let the votes come in? Is EVERY no vote a hate vote? Or are the voters not repected enough to have their opinions be valid? Which is it?

I'll settle this,














My Vote goes to @Blue Bayou

Fair enough, perhaps "passing judgment" was a poor choice of words. Let's just call it voting sure

tho I certainly respect you as a writer, you know that, my point is that you are now voting on the battle months later when you weren't in the league at the time and you've openly said now that you didn't;t even understand some of the personals (i.e. is barc a gardener or something)? What I'm trying to say is that if you WERE in the league months ago, you would've known about the barc is a gardener concepts being used, and about the pics of his camo leggings or whatever floating around etc., and I feel confident in saying had you been around then that the punches would've registered more for you.

I'm certainly not "targeting" you in any malicious way or anything like that, just pointing out that you weren't in the league at the time and it appears the personal angles didn;t register bcuz you didn't even know what they were, which is totally fair.. you weren't around & cant be faulted for that

but don't tell me I feel I'm being "punished" for not getting the batt into the HOF lol, not true at all.. I'm just defending my angles and how personal they were to my opponent/league at the time they were written

All good tho... you're right you're allowed to have your own opinions about my concepts and yup it's the board that ultimately decides... fair enough, i'll always do me

The wordplay brothers sure love victimizing themselves lol

Shhhhhh

I mean, you know.. but I hear you.

I have always respected you as a writer, I've never denied that. So I am not sure why this is all such a big deal tbh.

Barc makes me laugh at times. I may not always agree w/ what he says & does but fk it, he's true to his character lmao.

Sidenote: Text is on its last leg. Not directing this at anybody specifically but if your really gonna bitch about votes over a dying hobby than why be here? Bro just fkin quit/retire. I dont understand ppl tbh. At this point its just trolling.
