Topic: Vanity Fare



You do understand that Vanity Fare, which is distinct from the novel and magazine entitled Vanity Fair, is UK pop group for the 60s?

You want me to write a rap about them?

Pinot Grij

Yea, Adonis - I'm not sure if it's a typo or a play on words in this case.

Write about whatever you can.


I did not know that and fair is a different word. I meant the topic to be more along the lines of, Vanity fare = The Price of being Vain


But whatever you can create from it is an endless possibility.

Pinot Grij

not sure if that clarified, maybe I'm using wrong tense?

Vanities Fare?

Adonis The proper term is Vanity Fair. That's where the confusion comes in. Vanity Fare does not exist. Vanity Fair is a very common phrase based upon a classic novel and popular contemporary magazine.

That's two different things though.

I'm lost to this type of shit because I'm self educated in all things


But to me, Vanity Fare clearly means the price of being into ones self

Vanity Fair means the, well a few things but none of which is what I intended.


Either way, Cimmerian or Witty are more then welcome to use either fair/fare for inspiration

Or I can change it, makes no difference. Wish I were smarter.





and Argh

sorry bout not doing picks. I just hosted AOWL, this sites version of RHYME, just hosted the playoffs with 6 straight weeks of photos then 16 photos this week. Running out of shit to search for as far as images go. I did ask for help though, nobody cared then

GodComplex vs. Pent uP - botw candidate
Dead Man vs. Pie - dont know enough about pie
Tyson vs. Razah - razah is definitely underrated
Argh vs. Mr. J - dark horse upset potential, thought BE was a little rusty rhymeswise
Frank vs. VividlyVague - another botw candidate
NYCSPITZ vs. Diode - havent read much of diode but hear good things
Pinot Grij vs. Soulstice - good luck. another stylistic clash (although pinot style is pretty unique anyway)
Witty vs. Cimmerian - I read some old school cimm verses and thought they were tight. botw candidate #3.

dope matchups.

Diode

I can't imagine Godcomplex being the No. 1 seed, with all respect to his recent Art of Writing League victory.

I think he was though, judging from the first mag.

Adonis
01-15-2016, 04:23 PM
There's no Re seeding. Buddha was number one seed purely based on the fact he was fresh off the aowl title. He was matched with the winner of the 15/16 match. If there was Re seeding like the NFL he would face Tyson as he was the lowest seed to advance. But it's not, so I followed the bracket.

I hear you there. But that would have messed up the entire bracket and I didn't want to have to go back and do it. Pent was the only exception, and it sucks he fell into the top match, but every match up here is a great read and potential BOTW.

Theoretically you are correct, but this field is ridiculously competitive where no matter who you face (almost) is a beast. Every competitor with the exception of one has either won title, made a finals or at the very least made a deep push in a tourney. Every single one with the exception of Tyson.

Argh, You were rather harsh in your analyzing of my story about Snow White & The Seven Dwarves. Why is that? Lolol You deemed it laborious, which I interpreted as you wanting to have my baby. I interpreted Laborious as in 9 months later, I was going to be your Topical Baby Father. It puzzles me how you felt the need to be so over analytical when you aren't in any position to be. You clearly don't deserve the spot before me. How on earth did you convince the higher ups that you were a 4th slot? Lolol. I would love to force you, out of your comfort zone one of these days.

After breezing through your writing with zero reaction. I can conclude, put simply, you are Simply superficial, Shallow and rather stale stylistically speaking, you are a Ditz and you write daintyly. I am dumbfounded that you have the audacity to belittle a superior writer?

Construct your fucking face

That is all.

Oh yeah,

and eat a dick

Frank ...So, I just read that. A few things:

I chose to vote on your battle because I thought both verses were interesting and showed promise. The feedback I left wasn't intended to hurt your feelings (which clearly it did). If you can't take constructive criticism at face value, then perhaps you should reconsider playing in this space.

The personal digs you make don't bother me, and I welcome the opportunity to square off against you, the "superior writer," any time.

Good question, I assume your speaking on waiting on my part to post my verse. I am not fond of posting my verse too early before my opponent, every time I have I feel like they read it and find a way to counter it. But, that is probably due to my own deficiencies as a writer. I do like it when my opponent and I post early, that is something I very much enjoy, So posting early is not my conundrum. A good courageous writing spirit you have my friend.

If you don't really have time to write for this tournament, then you why did you sign up? There was a long list of writers vying for a spot who got turned away. I enjoy reading your stuff, so this isn't a personal attack...I'm just genuinely puzzled.

In the first two rounds of this tourney, there's been a crazy amount of no-shows and extensions. Maybe this is par for the course at Netcees and I'm just not used to it.

I'm fine with being dq'd, you would hear no complaints from me. I understand your point, although everyone is different, I literally could not write in an airport or any kind of public place, I have to be alone in complete silence...otherwise I can not begin to even think about an opening line, never mind a full verse, and unfortunately I rarely get that time to myself. As you said, there rules are clear for all to see so if I am dq'd then it's nobody's fault but mine, but I think people do this for enjoyment, both in writing and reading two verses in an awesome battle...I've ran many leagues and tournies and I find it better to work around people rather than be too stringent, a more relaxed structure produces better results imo but this is not my tournament so the mods should do as they deem fit.

Anyway, I'm going to write now..and whatever happens, happens...I'll post it in OM if I can't post in the battle.

Argh
01-20-2016, 05:46 PM

You're right to be puzzled. I do plan my days when I know I have to write to give myself the time to do so, but a lot of the time things come up that are completely out of the blue...like baby sitting last night...my girlfriend has a child (and I have one on the way :D) and she had to stay on late at work, so I had to look after the child. It's never done intentionally, but I also don't expect the tournament to be run around me, so I take whatever decision as it comes, I'd never complain.

It's a fine balance. When everyone shows up and posts/votes on time, and the mags are consistent, I find it to be a much more enjoyable experience. Anyway, enough bantering with me...go discover your silence and write. :)

Sorry, but I don't pay attention to chat threads much at all or my name being mentioned. I only pay attention to what's posted in my matches. No computer, I'm all phone with everything.

It was mentioned in 3 or 4 different votes - take it personally if you want. What I take personally is everyone acting like this needs to be all sober and serious - and that putting a video in my verse breaks some age-old unwritten rule of text poetry battles. We write rhyming poems on the internet for an audience of approximately 12 people. You'd think we could all lighten up a bit about it. And if you didn't watch the video, you're missing out on a lot of the fun of the experience.

Contribute by voting as well. Why not partake in the community/other areas of writing? Or is the tournaments the only thing that draws your attention to the site? There's a poetry league going on, NBL league as well. Why don't you join those?

Do not get a false sense of security moving forward. You will need to be much better.

Best of luck to you. Do not let my loss go in vain. Take full advantage of this opportunity.

I will be rooting for you.

Go get em'

Vividlyvague definitely came with it. But

Frank -- im pretty confident that pink floyd had no part in tge summer of love as they were an 80s (70s?) band mostly.

Pink Floyd started as a psychedelic pop band, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn — their widely praised debut — came out in 1967. Pink Floyd's last classic album came out in 1979.

Just looked it up..the wall was 79

So 70-85 isnt that far off 67-79

Though it still renders my comment invalid

Cimmerian congrats man, I really enjoyed your verse, thanks for the battle it was a pleasure and good luck for the rest of the tourney.

Btw bros, my verse was about super advanced A.I over throwing humanity, narrated by a scientist who helped create them. I thought I left enough clues in to suggest that, but alas, it appears not. I won't make the same mistake again, thank you to everyone who voted.
