FanNation - The Republic of Sport

The Shockmaster falling through the wall on his debut and then giving a horrible inverview was pretty pathetic. Im going left so far on this one

I'm not sure what Prodigy's mindless rambling is all about in this TD.

I really wanted to go with Prodigy, but then I noticed that he broke the rules in his first argument. So...based on that completely immaterial evidence, vote left.

I was thinking Giant Gonzalez...but it might just be the Shockmaster...

ShockMaster!LOL ha ha ha ha ha now that is funny. I can't think of no one worser.

1,2,3, kid? would make a case but shock master WOW!

I'm not voting on this one i'm just gonna laugh!

Here's my problem with this TD. Prodigy is trying just too hard these days to make the Zinger list. Its cool to make it, but it should be done naturally, and not with such ambition.

I have had just about one goal in mind these last few months on the nation, and that goal was to educate users on who is straight up in their Tds and who is shady. Well the education plan has failed to say the least, now the whole thing has basically turned into one posse for one posse against.

This has bled over to other TDs please see the Pimps blog on the subject. I have decided that this site has become well, a shadow of what it once was, great Tders like rstowe, and many others have already pulled back from the TDs. That got me to thinking, what the heck am I spending so much time on here for? To spread the word about the greatness of MMA?

Basically the way I see it is this, this site will never be about the better arguments, it just won't. As much as folks on here like to claim they always vote for the arguments, or the better side in the debate; this simply isn't true. I can guarantee that at one time or another everyone of us has voted in a td based off something other then the arguments. I won't go into the details of who does what or says what to get votes, and I really don't want to make this tirade strictly about votes anyways. I want to talk about the nation as a whole.

Groups are formed on here and abandoned. TD's have become less about arguments and more about who can google or wiki and paste faster. I honestly am having a hard time these days actually being INFORMED in a td. It used to be back in the day you would get lots of good info in TDs but not so much anymore. Now it's just well, for the most part bad.

I am not mad, I am not sad, I am simply resigned that this site will never be right, and that is OK. It's OK for it to be like that, I however am choosing to forgo the game. I am choosing to sit out. I am choosing to leave the nation. I have realized that I am a super competitive guy (well I knew that part already) and that the pure joy of competing in the three boxes is gone. I mean what does all this time spent really do for me? My answer nothing. It doesn't make me a better person, doesn't make me a BIGGER fan, doesn't make me anything.

Basically it just helps me waste time while at work. That's it. That's all this site is good for, wasting time. Well I got a life to live and I ain't wasting no more of it on here. Don't bother leaving messages, or comments. I am asking the mods to delete me as you read this. Some will say good he's finally gone, some will say who gives a crap, but I will say Peace Out. Cause that's all I got left to say. If I am in a TD with you I will be forfeitting it.

Peace Out Nation

It's been real, it's been fun sometimes its been real fun.
