At this point in the story Dense Idiot will try his bestest to write up 4 bars (that's 8 lines) by June 25th at 5PM EST

Let's fast forward to then...

[dull boy]

Use your imaginations here and let's pretend it's June 24th at 4:20AM (Sunday) and Dense Idiot has finished his 8 lines (remember, that's 4 bars) and SENT THEM TO ME VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE

Dense Idiot-

This is where I would post the verse Dense Idiot sent to me



No Comprende' you have until June 25th at 4:20AM to send me your 4 bars/8 lines.

[dull boy]

It's now June 24th at 11:32PM and No Comprende' has sent me his verse

No Comprende'

This is where his verse would be posted


No Comprende' you have until June 26th at 11:32AM to private message me your verse.

[veritas]

I can’t wait to see how snarky dull boy gets throughout this tourney. That’s why I am here.

And to drop hot bars.

We will figure out the rules don’t worry amigo

Ya know, we have never really talked. That’s a shame.

[dull boy]

No Comprende' takes his time and sends me his verse on June 26th at 10:07AM

No Comprende'

This is where his 3 bars/6 lines would be posted


Dense Idiot, you have until June 27th at 10:07AM to send me your verse.

[dull boy]

I'd like to point out that it's done this way to give both battlers a chance at being first or being under some time limit pressure

[dull boy]

Dense Idiot sends me his verse and I post it up June 28th at 6AM

No Comprende' now has 10 fucking minutes to say whatever he can manage to spit out in 10 minutes. This portion of the verse will be very scrutinized as far as prewriting goes. It's meant to be off the top. Prewriting, while a tactical advantage, is not in the spirit of the concept.

[dull boy]

If No Comprende' drops anything then Dense Idiot has 7 minutes to do the same.

[dull boy]

ANY QUESTIONS?

[Saint]

personally i'd prefer the time limit portion only be a 6 line limit or w/e

[dull boy]

Word. When I was cooking it up I figured the 10 and 7 minute rounds would be last chances. It’s not supposed to be polished. I didn’t think about it being abused.

Seeing a 10 minute completely keyed up reply that’s relevant to the rest of the battle would be dope.

That was my thought process.

[Twodrop]

Once Dense Idiot drops.... how can we guarantee No Comprende' is on during that 10 mins allowed for retort? I mean that's the entire point of the tourney so I assume the rebuttal portion will be considered heavily in the judging panels decision.

Should there be an agreed upon time for both competitors to drop the 'rebuttal' stuff?

Good question.

I will be in control of when the final verse by Dense Idiot is posted. That is why verses are sent to me and can’t be manipulated to be at odd hours.

The time stamp will be on the post. There will be 10 minutes from the time of me posting Dense Idiot’s verse for No Comprehende’ to reply.

[dull boy]

There may be times when I will post a verse past the deadline. It has to be SENT to me by the deadline.

[Cred]
