8 Days is way too long to give a champion to defend his title. The Champion of OB should be one of the more active users. That is how respect for reigns are garnered. 2 days max would be reasonable I think.

No offense, but why dont u stop talking shit about who should be defending what and when and RECOGNISING and Understanding the more obvious and Pertenant problems like The Fact that the Game keeps Freezing and cannot be played past the 4th round on most attempts.
This also goes for all you talking about, and hoping for OB to go back to its former glory and how it used to be in the good old days.
I certainly agree with this and want it to go back but issues have gotta be sorted first for this to happen. The game running properly, and THEN helpin promote and support OB.

The freezing problems are obvious, they will get sorted. I am offering constructive ideas that perhaps could get a bit of a buzz going.
Sorry, I thought this was a forum. I must be mistaken.

It's a good idea for when the game is up an running again, but for now it isn't.
Secondly, its not really contructive ideas to get a buzz going, its more of a moan or constructive criticism, for when it IS going.
This extract from a previous post is more of a constructive idea to get a bit of a buzz going:
" A Few Basic Ideas for Promoting OB for Anyone who believes in the idea of growing the community, isn't hard and takes small effort etc.. :
1. Make a Yahoo Account and Post on Yahoo Answers - Either Answering Questions on Boxing / Games and mentioning the website, Or Asking a Question about Boxing / Games and mentioning the website.
2. Make a Youtube Account and Comment on Youtube Videos. Obviously the best place is on Boxing Videos or Computer Games at all. However, baring in mind all sorts of people who spend time on the internet watch ANY videos on youtube so commenting on Any video's that get high amounts of views would get attention of lots of people, Again mention the Website.
3. Finding and commenting on Blogs. I find this method to be more laborious and slow, as well as appealing to less people. But it would be a good help as well.
In my experience, messaging on Yahoo Answers was the most effective. My advice is to be creative and persistent. Be careful as sometimes advertising sites is not allowed but there are ways around it. Making multiple accounts can help. "
To all you who want it to be how it was its no good moaning about it you gotta do something to help it.
Chatting about how it used to be may help get some old vets back in the game hopefully and once the problem is fixed with the freezing it would be good.
and im pretty sure whether the problems get sorted or not is down to whether the creator think its worth it and depends on how much interest there is in the game and to promote the game, cos recently there hasnt been much and especially at the moment its been wavering on deletion.

I'd say 3 days max would be good and if it goes over that then give the title to the #1 contender, but 2 days is ok. Hey Fierce i am down to help when it comes to advertising and I agree we cant advertise right now since there are technical issues with the game so we just gotta wait intil it is resolved. I have full confidence that Mikkel will find and fix whatever the problem is. In the meantime we should get more people to help advertise the more the better right. Then after everything is set we could start doing these ideas. SO who's in to help out?

"John represents the renaissance of OB. John stepped up and filled the vacuum Fatny left behind. Not only his skills are amazing, also his dedication to keep this game interesting and alive. I was there when he first won the title, I was watching over his shoulder when he bullied all competition, I was there when he became a HOF´er. I may not be a great fighter myself, but I do have eye for talent. John is something special, I told him right after he won his first title. John is the spark that became a flame that turned into a devastating fire. Apart from being a great guy he never stepped down from a challenge and always looked to square off against OB´s best to further improve his skills. Many HOF´ers made short comebacks during the year John reigned OB, only to be knocked out by Big Bad John." - Dick E. Boon
"The thing with John is that he's just so extremely accurate, both in offense and in defense. There's some punches I consider myself a master of, like the small hook and the long upper. Well they're useless against John no matter how well you throw them, he just keeps blocking 90% of them and hurting you in the process. Speaking of which...if he hurts you (and he will), you better move your head a lot because he also happens to be one of the best finishers i've ever seen. Basically if you're not extremely good AND creative, you'll end up on the floor. A fine addition to the hall of fame indeed." - Fatny |

I stick by this, I really think actually having a champ willing to fight makes all the difference. I am sure some will agree
