Does anyone want to run a topical tournament?

[Certain]

My advice would be short-verse format.

And no, I'm not running it. I'm not taking over if you fail at running it. I may participate, but I don't even guarantee that. Maybe in the fall I'll think about running a small tournament.

But yeah, with zygote dead and gone, we have nothing lined up. Adonis or anyone else interested?

[Split Eight]

I was thinking a sort of synthesis of Short Verse and WCL, meaning unconventional topics and perhaps some writing restrictions.

[Ghost1]

Legendary Scripts I I I

storytelling tourney

32 line limit

Do it

[uh-oh]

TFTS

64 line minimum

topic thread

no extensions

double elimination 64 man tourney

[Plot]

I could run my unique format if I got at least 8 competitors

[Mr. J]

I would join again and possibly take it serious if my comp does

[Eŋg]

the dead poets society tag is a good one. lol.

[Plot]

Awell, the premise of my format is that basically everyone uses the same topic per round and everyone that competes has to vote.. order who was best to worst. its a great way to do topicals, you see an array of different approaches to topics and it isnt just dude vs dude. I did it that that the person that lost the round got to make the topic for the next round, and all the players had to vote to stay in.

;)

[dead man]

i like Plot's idea the more i think about it. anyone else?

but i don't want to run anything. i'm inconsistent and everybody would end up hating me after week 2.

[Urban Dialect]

ya'll some writing motherfuckers,
some of you have really disappointed me..
I've watched you for years writting in these tourney hoping one of you would improve
and become an awesome writer and make it big as a writer..
I've watch some of you grow up via online, but i've know you since you were 12 yrs old and you haven't amounted to shit!!
maybe it's my fault, maybe i didn't push you hard enough..
Maybe i should of joined more tourments and be more hands on, instead of leaving it up to the lazy ass Richard Corey, Sessions, etc..
perhaps with this new young batch of writers i'll be more hands on.. they're not as talented as the first batch but maybe there's still hope

[Badweather]

What's the topic gonna be?

Keep watching me.

[YDK]

I'm down to compete if it happens, legendary scripts 3 sounds dope

[Vulgar]

If I run a tournament, it'll be weird, abstract and nobody will understand. But you'll all fucking compete.

rawr

[Dominate]

Is zygote actually dead? I keep seeing references to him being dead... starting to think it's not just a hyperbolic comment on his absence ...

I will sign up for a short verse tourney and probably show

that was insanely persuasive

i vote vulgar

[Certain]

Yes, Dominate, zygote is dead. With him and Masaii gone, you are our only Aussie left.

[Vulgar]

Do they have wifi in space? Zygote's out there...somewhere.

Witty Hi.

Witty Hi.

Hi :)

How are you?

[Vulgar]

Good enough.

You been writing anything, young chap?

[Adonis]

I would prefer to get someone new to step up and I would be more than willing to help them with the mag. I have been trying to slowly ease my way away from moding the past year or so with no success. If we can't find anyone else within the week I will because as I've always said, I'd rather have people competing then not.


Edit: prefect example of why you should read thread first.

[Adonis]

I like the plot idea because it's different.

Have been waiting for someone to run a double elimination tourney for ages, but now is bad timing.

Vulgar Da God. And I welcome this unknown and obscure challenge

[Strikta]

I'd be interested in joining, not running it.

[Plot]

Lets get it poppin, mod pm me.

[Certain]

Plot, we need to come up with a way to 1.) Make sure these verses aren't too long and 2.) Keep there from being 20 submissions. No one has time to read 20 verses in a short span and rank them.

Your idea is almost identical to Write Week, which was a failure.

[Plot]

Oh ok, well dont worry about it then

[Certain]

Shit, I don't know. Maybe others will disagree with me, but I don't see how this is different than Write Week, and Write Week had terrible voting but good writing. Maybe that's what y'all want?

[oats]

I'll co-host with Vulgar tbh.

[Pharaohs Army]

..maybe it's my fault, maybe i didn't push you hard enough..

Lmao

[Ghost1]

Oh ok, well dont worry about it then

LMAO FAGOT

[Soulstice]

I'll co-host with Vulgar tbh.

Need a vulgar and oats franken-tourney.

[ribbit]

Id be down to participate if that's cool

[Vulgar]
