The Alias 1-2 Punch League is nearly identical to what you're used to with one obvious exception, Aliases. I believe that text battling itself is in desperate need of a reset. Everybody from NC to RB who has battled consistently for at least a year or has been around for as long as I have knows just how stale we've become. Not our writing. Our brand. The names ppl use to identify us. We seemingly know every np associated with our name at this point. We've undoubtedly witnessed every possible concept and angle coupled with that np. We recognize that personal of yours bc it's been used against us before. Dozens if not hundreds of times. Quite frankly, we are beginning to stagnate ppl. It is becoming a most boring endeavor to battle and vote these days bc we blame everybody else but ourselves for the decline in activity. Our hubris is this scenes downfall. We see a familiar np and we scoff. We see an idiomatic concept used to pull off that familiar np and have the audacity to write it off bc it was used maybe 8-9 years ago, or worse, 2-3 weeks ago. We disregard personals regardless how hard they impacted or nice they were flipped bc we have seen it all before. Well listen ppl. No more. The embedded redundancy of our own respective tenures ends here. The Alias 1-2 Punch League is now. Now is the time to resuscitate creativity. Now is the time we push aside the mundane and welcome innovation as we once did long ago before devolving into the uninspired draconian elitist hardasses that we are today. Now is the time we go to work. So, what are you waiting for? Clock the fuck in.
