A battle is a competition between two pictures or videos: one that you upload and one that your rival uploads. Other users who visit Battles will vote for which one they like best, and the battler with the most votes at the end wins!
How Do i Start a Battle
The easiest way to start a battle is to click "Begin a Battle" at the top of any page in the Battles area of MeetMe. Then, follow these steps:
Select your opponent.
Decide if you want to challenge a friend, a top battler, or leave it to chance and have us randomly pair you with another battler. Next, choose your battle image/video from one of your profile pics/videos or upload an entirely new image/video that you think will be a winner.
Pick a category.
Choose a category for the battle from the drop down menu or create one of your own.
Write a message.
Include a note to your rival if you would like. This will arrive as part of the message when they receive your challenge.
Spread the word.
Let people know about your battle. Tell all your friends to vote for you by submitting bulletins with just one click on MeetMe and MySpace.
Submit your Challenge!
Note: you can also challenge someone to battle simply by visiting his or her profile and clicking the "Battle" link under the photo.
Finding Someone to Battle With
Opponents can be found everywhere on MeetMe. Every time you visit another member's profile, you can simply click the "Battle" link to challenge that person to a battle.
OR
When in Battles, select the "Begin A Battle" tab. On this page, you have the option to
Engage in a random battle -- this means you do not choose your rival, because we'll choose one for you. We match you up randomly with another battler waiting to be challenged in your chosen category. This is the quickest way to get a battle started.
Select a friend to battle -- choose any of your friends to challenge!
Take on a Top Battler -- the Top Battlers have the best records of this month, so if you're feeling brave, challenge one and try to take 'em down.
Good luck!
Accepting or Not Approving Battles
When someone challenges you to a battle, you'll have an Action Item on your homepage alerting you. Click that link to go to the Pending Battles page (you can also get here by going to My Battles and then clicking the "Pending" tab).
On this page you will see all your battle challenges and battles awaiting approval.
Click the "Accept Challenge" button on the right if you wish to accept the battle. You'll then choose the photo or video you want to use for the battle, and the battle will be sent for review by MeetMe Member Services before it begins.
If you want to decline a battle challenge, click the "Chicken Out" button.
Choosing Who Can Battle With you
Go to Settings at the top right corner of the screen, and you'll see a setting called "Who can challenge me to a battle?" Select your desired level of privacy for battle challenges and make sure to click "Save."
How Are Top Battlers Ranked
Top Battlers are ranked on number of wins minus number of losses. You can see Top Battlers across the whole site as well as in your state or any of your yearbooks, or just among your friends. You can also view Top Battlers within a specific category.
To view Top Battlers, click the "Top Battlers" tab within the Battles section.
What Do The Titles Signify
Titles are a measure of how many battles you have won. Everyone starts out as a Featherweight and as you engage in more and more battles and collect more wins, you earn a better title -- so keep battling!
How Do i See my Battles
In Battles, go to the "My Battles" tab.
The My Battles page has five tabs: Current, Pending, Past, Friends, and Watched.
"Current" contains all your battles that are currently underway and ready to be voted on. For each one, you can check how you're doing and see who voted for you (so you can return the favor!) on each of your battles. You can also get code to put the battle on your profile or your Myspace, so you can get more votes.
"Pending" contains challenges you've received from others members, challenges you've sent to other members, battles that are awaiting approval by MeetMe Member Services, and random battles that have not yet been paired up. This is where you'll accept or decline battle challenges, cancel challenges you've sent, or send reminders to your opponent.
"Past" contains all your ended battles. Here you can check whether you won that last battle and, for a limited time after the battle ends, see a list of who voted for you so you can thank them or return the favor.
"Friends" contains all your friends' battles, so you can quickly help them out with your votes.
"Watched" contains the battles you've chosen to keep an eye on, either your own or someone else's.
Watching a Battle
Watching a Battle makes it easier to find and keep track of because it is added to the "Watched" tab of your My Battles page. Essentially it's a quick way to bookmark a battle so that you can go back to it later.
To watch a battle, click the "Watch" link underneath the photos/videos on that battle's page.
How Do i See my Friends Battles
To see a friend's battles, go to My Battles and click the "Friends" tab. You'll see a list of all your friends with current battles -- just click any friend to see his or her battles.
You can also filter the Battles voting page to see only friends' battles there. To do so, click the "are on MeetMe" drop-down menu within the "Which Battles do you want to see?" section and choose the "are my friends" option.
What is Super Vote and How Do i Use it
A SuperVote is a special item you can purchase with Lunch Money that makes your vote on a particular battle more powerful than a normal vote. You get 10 SuperVotes per day and purchase a +5 or a +10 SuperVote.
To use a SuperVote on a battle, click the SuperVote button under the photo or video you want to SuperVote for.
Why Does My Battle Not Show Up Right away
Battles must go through an approval process before it can begin. Please allow a few hours for approval. As soon as your battle has gone live, you will be notified.
Any member who uploads nudity or offensive images will have their profile deleted without notification.
A Current Battle Had Disappeared What happen ?
It's possible your opponent's profile had to be removed from the MeetMe site. Their removal will not have any effect on your Battle Rank or Record for any past battles.
