Seeing as how I was banned from SB. I have some suggestions for the versus forum on here.
It could use some reworking. I was thinking we can use the SB style and how the do it, as well as having a whole dedicated area that can be used to discuss calculations and the like. To allow for those that like VS over there to enjoy it here as well.

I know I will miss my VS debates a lot so I am hoping we can build a good one here to counter there's

You're welcome to post versus in the most appropriate sections of the forum as it is currently configured. They're not forbidden or anything.

I've always been partial to this layout.

The meta area being where analyses and scenario matches (IE what if's and the like) are assigned and the main "Battledome" being the straight up fights.


Then you have the calculation section..and you can put analyses there...

edit- assuming this thread was about altering layout...I thought we already had a vsboard?

Never heard of this "Battledome" before

It's the current top dog of the vs debate corner of the interwebs.

Knocked SB, Rumbles and KMC and CV down. to take the spot..we get cited by those idiots who do fictional battle videos on youtube all the time and the like...

VsBattleWiki is like a cheap Taiwanese knock off...but filled with autistic crackheads. hestonpls.png

Any way I'm not saying we should adopt their culture...but if you wanted to "streamline" the vs section layout...That isn't a bad way to do it and @Zoe Already has the section somewhat set up like that any way.

Well, perhaps having a more, spread out and diverse. Like having a section for the analysis and calcss, and then having mayb an area for the WI, since those seem to take up A lot, maybe have the Vs in their own area.

I just like having a forum for Vs that I am used to or at least have a way to make it better

Sure but the culture is much more channish there and be warned they have a thread where all they do is document stupid arguments by posters they consider clowns from other forums and they're....unkind..to SpaceBattles and Spacebattlers.

So it'll be a bit of a culture shock. On the otherhand you're military so you know the hazing to brotherhood pipeline pretty well. Solidarity among the userbase is extremely high which has always been the allure of the site. It's one part "a place to experience a wide variety of fiction" and one part "Buddies shooting the shit over some beer". Sometimes that means being dicks,,,

Streamlining the section itself isn't a bad idea!

I would like to bring a vs community here to be similar to battledome and SB because from what I understand they are generally considered good in terms of calculations and the like.

I dunno about SBG's calcs...SB's vs section's reasoning in general has atrophied absurdly compared to what you guys were in 2005-2010. So I genuinely haven't looked at an SB calc in ages...The biggest members of the OBD calculation faction are hugely influenced by the Mike Wong school of analytics.

Which I know is a very hit or miss type deal.

You'll enjoy it though, I'd recommend Endless Mike's calcs and his respect threads, Chaostheory's as well.

Our clashes over the legitimacy of calcs as evidence in debates helped shape a bit of the current landscape..

Those were fun debates...

As to this site itself...The only thing I would say is maybe, a subsection for more detailed analysis and a Calc section?

I saw we should have it. To allow for a greater expansion. Like SB since they have a while sub section just for calcs basically
