Who would like to see a new rule implemented when it comes to battling.
 
The rule should be as follows;
 
If you call someone out for a battle and they decline. You would automatically gain the win on the count of forfeit/no contest.
 
To decline a battle, should count as a loss.
 
This rule would seperate HB from other forums, Making it more exciting and interesting to be here.
 
In addition we will be making each other better.
This rule should be put in effect asap.

Naw I dont think so. It cant b called a battle if the other person doesn't agree 2 battle in the first place. So dey aint forfeiting. Think about all the people who arent comfortable with their waves or someone whose waves arent up 2 battling yet. All someone has 2 do is challenge them. Either way it's a loss.

I hear you sleepy B. But to forfeit is not to compete. Only when a battle is declined will it be counted as a forfeit.

It's some battles out there that we all want to see take place. But they might not ever happen if people always take the option to declining.
 
Take away the option of declining.
 
If some one is uncomfortable with their waves and their hardly spinnin at all who would want to battle them.
 
People only want to battle the best.

Aight correct me if i'm wrong,but aint a forfeit when u have a scheduled competition and b4 it's set 2 go down u back out of it. If someone declines a battle it isn't a forfeit, bcuz u can't quit something unless u start playing it first.

Youre right. What I'm sayin is, Once someone initiates the challenge from that point on would make it a shceduled competition, So only when the person being challenged declines or retreats would that make it a forfeit.
 
As long as someone has the option to decline the battle they can do it as much as they like.
 
Take away the option to decline.
 
Theres battles out there that we all want to see, that might not ever take place.
 
 
Now if there was some type of rule put into effect, it doesnt have to be my exact rule, just some type of rule. We would get to participate in this historic battle.

Yeah if you want another example, The Royal Rumble. It started off with 10 contestants and ended up wit only 5.
 
2 of them where last minute entries and while in compitition 1 dropped out leaving only 4 contestant for HB's annual event. 
 
Totoally upsetting.
 
Half the people got could feet towards the end.
 
We need some type of a rule period.

Now thats a forfeit bcuz they already agreed 2 da battle. I think all the members who failed 2 show up should be given a loss.

Well me personally I don't care because I'm always battle ready anyway but if two people arranged to battle andone of them tries to dip out then that should be a forfeit if no date was set in stone then it shouldnt count.

I understand what u sayin, but its gonna b damn near impossible 2 find a rule 4 that. If the person challenged declines we still wont get 2 c the battle. The fact that they dont want a automatic loss increases the chances of them accepting, but it isn't guaranteed.

So you think that this rule will stop people that don't feel like postin pics just because they'll "lose" a battle??
 
 
Example: Since Ced and I aren't battling for a lil while you think that we're gonna spring into action just because that you wanna see me battle someone? 
 
What's gonna most likely happen is that we're gonna careless and continue to decline until we're off of our hiatus. And people are gonna start challenging us for the hell of it just so they can get a "win."  
 
 
How about this...since so many people are complaining about not seeing enough battles, why don't they find some other complainers and battle each them. that way the people that wanna battle are happy and so are the people that are takin a break. sound good?
