Absolutely agreed, but Oat's verse would have beaten anybody else, and could have beaten mine in fact, and vice versa with my verse. Same thing with our battle, neither of us really had any misses.. it was just a dope battle. The votes didn't do our battle justice, because it was much closer than they made it seem. Same with Oats and I.
I wish we could do something about the ancient legends. Like Oats pointed out, some of them are terrible, like I question how they're even HoF.
That said, I just assume some of it is context and style, you know? Like, the styles shift and change. I wonder how much of it is that.
But Oats is 100% correct... folks should re-read the best of legends and the best stuff outside of Legends. Honestly, there were elitists for years who just wouldn't let pieces in... despite being amazing in quality and far better than some piece in legends, they just wouldn't let them.
People will have to individually come up there own criterium, based upon the best OMs they've read.
What's more, and I've said it 1000 fucking times, we cannot set a strict criterium. Shit is all relativity.
Also, I re-read Token/Oat's battle...hhhhmmmmm
nothing needs to be done about the older legends.
some of the older legends are in for more than just quality of work. such as being extremely influential to the site.
legendary pieces *
Oats/Token... check your thread.
eh, i feel the same about the legendary pieces. they were the best products of their time period. and as time goes on, the bar gets raised higher.
@arch, i definitely think that battle deserves a nom. only reason i haven't done it is because i literally just did Philly and Tokens noms and i didn't want to just keep flooding the forum with them.
I know XM is going to be ghost, so theres no real full time mod in here. if token wants, i'll take over this forum and help keep it active as far as nominating goes. i'll keep an eye out for battles, pieces, etc that i think may have a shot at getting in and post them for people to vote on. hopefully that will cause less battles to get overlooked. obviously other people can nominate as usual.
^^ sounds like a good idea
I agree with everything said about past pieces not meeting up to current noms, and the current noms still getting turned down.

I checked out the other topical battles in Legends, and most of them were one-sided in votes, too. I've never suggested that older Legends pieces should get taken out, but just re-read so people can have a more accurate perspective for current battles. I like King's idea, and would be willing to help if needed.
