Hi, all. Welcome to the playoffs.

Verses will be due a week after that, on June 26. Round 1 topics will be phrases, with Round 2 being quotes, Round 3 story leads and the championship topic being a picture.

Here are the first-round matchups, with the topics being poem titles:

1. oats (9-3) — BYE
8. El Pancake (5-4) vs. 9. Certain (5-5) | "The Genius of the Crowd" (Charles Bukowski)
12. Zenland (3-2) vs. 5. King Ra. (7-7) | "Still I Rise" (Maya Angelou)
13. patrown (3-4) vs. 4. Vulgar (8-4) | "As I Grew Older" (Langston Hughes)
3. Frank (9-6) vs. 14. YDK (3-4) | "No Time to Hate" (Emily Dickinson)
6. Adonis (7-9) vs. 11. Johnathan Mercy (4-3) | "Leave Me a Place Underground" (Pablo Neruda)
10. Mike Wrecka (5-6) vs. 7. timeless (6-8) | "Into My Own" (Robert Frost)
2. Vividlyvague (9-6) — BYE

Two tiebreaker notes: Vividlyvague moved ahead of Frank because he had a better record against common opponents. patrown moved ahead of YDK because he had stronger victories.

[YDK]

Aww gawddammit you fucker I'd rather face oats vulgar an pancake in a 4way than go against fuckety fuck Frank for him to beat me by one vote again lol prick

[YDK]

Fuck you Frank this time I'm beating you!!!

[Certain]

So if I can beat the defending season champion, I have to face the No. 1 seed.

I think I'm probably a Ghana.

El Pancake, it's about time.

[big baby]

Certain blows away el pancake. henot dat good of writa

[patrown]

i'm honored..

[patrown]

am i the only one that feels like this is the last season?
idk. someone posted recently that added to my discomfort.
i'd be willing to dedicate time to managing matches, punching numbers, opening and closing battles... if nobody else more qualified than me wants to.

[Zen]

I think someone will undoubtedly step up. Plus whoever runs it will be helped by the members of the league just like every other season. We're a tight knit community. Only way this is the last season is if the site crashes for good. Least that's how I see it.

[patrown]

i certainly hope so. idk. i'm probably just being paranoid. i like it here....

[King Ra.]

Zen/Ra. part III, lmao. Good luck homie. EPIC approved.

[big baby]

i would be involved in battles more but I get demotivated and sidetracked.

[big baby]

and i really dont like fleshing out stuff that i put about 20% into, even if it might be good enough to win, it actually hurts me as a writer imo

[Split]

Did I miss the deadline for review submittal? It's cool if I did.

[Certain]

Did I miss the deadline for review submittal? It's cool if I did.

I wasn't sure if you even were around, so yeah.

[Split]

Lol ok. GL guys

[Zen]

G/L Ra.

Split I'm glad you're alive. For awhile there I wasn't sure :/

[oats]

No zygote? Surprised, but overall excited for the playoffs.

To sidetrack the doomsday predictions for the future of the AOWL, let's give our respect to Certain for keeping this shit as successful as it has been all season. Much appreciated from all of us.

[Witty]

I think the winner between Certain and Pancake will ultimately win the season. either those two or oats.

No offence to anyone else, I love you all.

[dead man]

I think the winner between Certain and Pancake will ultimately win the season. either those two or oats.

No offence to anyone else, I love you all.
i would not count out anyone, but least of all vulgar or frank

good luck to errbody.

[Witty]

i would not count out anyone, but least of all vulgar or frank

good luck to errbody.

I would never write off talented guys like that, anyone could win it, I just got a hunch and went with it, can't really explain why but I think it will be one of those guys.

I could be wrong tho, it has happened before.....once.

[oats]

Yeah lots of parity in this group, don't think anyone has an easy matchup tbh.
Certain will there be a top verses of the season section of the next mag? I remember going back and enjoying that for last season.

[Zen]

I think the winner between Certain and Pancake will ultimately win the season. either those two or oats.

No offence to anyone else, I love you all.

My prediction for who wins counts on that battle between Pancake and Certain. Either I'll be REALLY wrong REALLY fast, or right. But I'm winning it so I'm already wrong lol

[King Ra.]

I'm not surprised to see oats/Pancake as favorites to win it all, because it is possible, but this is definitely going to be a real competitive playoffs. If there are two writers who have the momentum coming in, it's Certain & Vulgar. Certain has really been on a roll & I believe he can definitely carry that in his first round match with 'Cake. Vulgar seems to have got his motors rev'd up so I wouldn't be surprised if he really shows out.

Zen, myself, timeless, patrown & Adonis, YDK & Vivid all have something to prove. We all show flashes of elite talent but are not so consistent, so it'll be interesting to see how things go. Can't rule out Frank- though he has been slacking, when it comes to big match ups, he can beat anybody. I hope he brings it every round. Mercy is a darkhorse. He has the writing skills & it'll be interesting to see what he does as well. And how about Wrecka.... he won the WCL and I think he has the motivation to prove himself and make a statement.

I hope everybody shows & votes every round, win or lose. Because this season has been a major success. Good luck to all.

[Certain]

Yes.

In the finals this puts Oats against Frank in which case I actually have Frank winning his title.


This was all done based off gut feelings. And I don't think I stand a chance verse my counter part round one, but I shall try

I have to ready myself for dedicated time to these playoffs. I've slacked so hard this season. My output was so immense last time around, respectively, but I don't know if I have that focus anymore.

[Frank]

Fuck you Frank this time I'm beating you!!!

Fend for your life

[Frank]

i would not count out anyone, but least of all vulgar or frank

its a tradition tbh

[Mike Wrecka]

oh and btw , I was jk jk

we all know Certain has no life


he was probably making the best mag anyone has ever read in Microsoft word for the last two days

[Zen]

Guys, I'm so glad this is back. I was starting to think I would I have to stay at RB...

[Adonis]

Lets all be honest....How many times in the past two days did you try and log in????


And Zen - You should have came to play at the waste land known as PR

[Vulgar]

Good to be back.

[Zen]

I tried to come to PR but for some reason I couldn't log in. I'd click on the log in button and it would just refresh the page. Very gay. I'd much rather go to PR and talk to myself than be at RB.

[patrown]

fuuuck

Oh yeah, I forgot, kept doing that shit to me too.

We at least have Uh-oh Da god there though, so his entertainment alone is awesome

[Certain]

I'll have topics up in a few hours.

Let's get it, folks.

Uh oh is one of the most interesting people in the world, and he allowed me to record on his beats so he's cool with me.

PR has the best site layout I've seen though. Plus it's got a cool as name. Too bad it's not active. If netcees crashed for good that'd be the place I'd most likely end up.

[Zen]

Glad you're here Certain. GOW was messaging me on RB to tell you to run the AOWL there. I guess even RB hates Sacred Scriptures lol

[dyedinthewool]

Ahhh

I stay on a muscle gaining program, cultivating bulk mass. So pumped on training, when my guns are aimed, you better duck or stay at home. Chaps, It's Gundiana Jones, have you heard of Gundiana Jones? I gunned Diana, yo. Had her half nelsoned in my biceps they snuffed the princess's death and dubbed it as a bus crash. I finished her fresh, even post cadavaring, come and post back against the multifaceted flow enamoring throwback

The Beatles ripped this planet, and Morrison's scribbles jammed it. Well I'm Adonis, a gorgeous man with thoughts that walk the line of genius and destroying by gambit. The ace up my sleeve will leave you to understand this. I'm a god with the rap flow that can't be emulated by you trash folks. Welcome to this world, you exist but I invented this gift of gab notes

lemmeee holdddd dat!

Zenland memories. i remember when i first played mario kart on n64 i moved wherever i moved the controller -__- i couldn't drive without swerving wherever the character went. n64 might be my favorite system. i'll never forget super nintendo but it was so much better when it was simple

[oats]

Agreed, SNES and N64 are by far my favorite systems. Games nowadays are too much for me, I can't get into them for long without getting bored.

That's funny you were one of "those" Mario karters. There's always one in every group who moves with the screen

[YDK]

Lmao I hated when ppl "drove" into my field of view

[dyedinthewool]

oats lol! its no surprise!! I used to fight for a turn when my brother played with his friends so it wasn't till I got really good and he'd be shook. It's a good thing I turned out to be a good driver irl lol

I did like gow for xbox and i've gotten good at cod though I don't play it often enough at all anymore. Whenever I do turn on the xbox it's for just dance and zumba ._.

I enjoyed the read, dude adds some weird facts and goes on tangents, but in a good way. I liked the gruesome under tone

I will, just for you sir. Playoffs deserve as many votes possible

[dyedinthewool]

Zenland that seems fair. For whatever reason you are doing it, I'm sure it makes sense. Good luck, I wish you well. I feel the same actually. Only I think I gave this up a year ago and I've been holding on just to see if I still had it in me, but obviously I don't and I'm strangely okay with that. It's my cue to go!!

[Zen]

Me and dyed are gonna run off together.

Zenland I go on frequent hiatuses, and I find it best to just go without any announcement or ceremony, or else I find reasons to longer around. We all gotta take breaks though. NC is great but it can also be a really unproductive distraction. Best of luck though

YOU FUCKING SAID NOT NOW

We all love you Zen.





















But mostly me tho ;)

[oats]

YOU FUCKING SAID NOT NOW

You're putting words into my mouth! Your words, actually. Cuz you said that!

[PancakeBrah]

I am quite literally marrying two people on Saturday. As in, officiating the wedding. As in, saying all the prompts for vows and pronouncing them man and wife.

They're hippies/atheists. The reading is a Pablo Neruda poem. As in, I'm reading a Pablo Neruda poem in front of the wedding. I was picked because I'm "good with words."

I FAIL TO SEE HOW THAT MATTERS WHEN I'M GIVEN A SCRIPT.

So.

There's that.

You should write a poem for them and tell them it was by Pablo Neruda.

[PancakeBrah]

I'm thinking of just reciting "Get Got" by Death Grips and walking off stage.

Avante-garde.

[oats]

I think you should read Grizzly Bear, by Pablo Pancake.

[Certain]

His name isn't Pablo.

[oats]

Nor is it pancake. But that's beside the point. It can be his name

[Certain]

It's not his fucking name. His name is his name.

[oats]

Certain, I think you fail to realize how malleable reality is.

[Certain]

Did you discover that on a vision quest?

Every day is a vision quest. If/when you see a Garfield comic, do you think of him as a cat or el gato?

Lol I go on hiatuses as well, but not in awhile. Ill likely be back in a few months. Right now as you said netcees is being a distraction. I'm gonna hit up some hippie fests I've been missing out on and try to finish my novel and maybe I'll come back then. Yeats is a beast btw.

wtf is that?

[Mike Wrecka]

you go through a zombie apocalypse with laser guns that have recoil.

you have to hit sensors on the zombies head (head shots only)


they send mass hordes after you and you have to fight them off as a team of five without letting them get within a foot of you or you get bit


its basically a walking dead simulation

[Zen]

You can't handle that on hard acid, man.

[Wade Wilson]

Or bath salts.

I last surfed beginning of May tbh, kinda shitty waves though. Been traveling since June, wanted to surf in brazil but when we were by the beach it was dumping rain.

Sorry Vividlyvague won't be dropping, just put it off too long and now I'm fucked up. I'll vote though and will def show next round. Good luck in the rest of the playoffs

Sub me in coach (:

[Split]

How is Brasil?

[oats]

Jump in, split. Brazil was epic and I fully intend to go back, been in Canada the past week handling shit, though. Which has been fun as well, now that my shit is handled. Split you'd kill this topic, too. I was gonna write like a letter to all the formative relationships I've had but then mostly fucked around all week. So it goes.

I only asked because I honestly think I quite surfing bro. It's weird, I've had no desire this month and haven't really missed it. The last time I went this long with out a care was when I got some nasty stiches on my head from rock and or the fin, not sure?? But I feel weird about it, like I don't care anymore, but I'm cool with this.

FUCKING WEIRD man

The urge is unfathomably missed, but its gone. Sad day.

I'm trying to write some kids books, how do I get into that shit?

do I gotta like have the short story all layed out and contact an editor or publisher and go from there?

I got this idea where I write doctor sues style but with better rhymes OBVI but incorporate actual lessons and shit, that when the parents read to there kids it dawns on them that they just read actual knowledge.

troof

Well first off decide off rip if your in it for money and fame and willing to put years tears and a lot of money into it, or if you're gonna do what you want get published and test the waters first.
I tested the waters an am now working on a more serious book to try an make money off of. If your trying the first route, save your money get your stories books imagery concepts and marketing schemes in order before contacting an editor or publishing company. Yes their job is to do most of the work but if you do it first you'll know what you agree with and disagree with and will stray away from fucktard companies and editors. If your going the test the water route, write your shit up organize it and submit it to a few free/cheap publishing companies and decide which offers you the best deal for what you want. Chances are you're gonna have to do most if not all the marketing sales and contacting the actual distribution centers yourself to get it on the shelves either way you go until you and your choice of company has an idea of what the demand looks like.

But that's just my 2 cents

midnight west coast, one open battle, everyone must vote. Leggo

[YDK]

I wanna say I finally beat Frank, but my guess is he pm'd certain days ago with a verse an asked for an ext to get my hopes up only to crush them once again in a way that only Frank has ever done to me

[King Ra.]

I procrastinated hard this week. Let's see what happens. Looks like a lot of no shows though. Ouch.

[YDK]

I'm hoping certain has a lot of pm's verses...just none from frank

[King Ra.]

Lmao. Bed time for me. I'll holler.

[YDK]

Yeah I should be sleeping already, peace bruh

Have we battled before I can't remember?

But that's not very nice, my kids would be very upset...can't you just wish for a power outage as I'm trying to post my verse or something less violent?
I wish no harm on you, just an easy win for me :)

Adonis , your first step is to buy the 2014 Children's Writers and Illustrators Market book


before you even think about it for another second you must have that book in your possession. Once your story is written, that will be your bible.


It will give you the address and or website of every children's book publishing company in the US. it will also give you detailed instructions on what kind of books each are currently looking for. and finally it will tell you the exact and very precise format that each publishing company will accept your manuscript.


after you send them out, you will wait to hear from an editor , saying yes we would like to publish your piece of work, or no thanks.

then you send to the next company. expect a ton of no thank you letters, and pray for a yes.

you do not need illustrations. if they want to publish it they will assign you a illustrator that works for them.



good luck. AND never ever ever, think that you could rhyme or write a children's book better than Dr. Sluess. saying something like that in a room full of authors is pure blasphemy. it also screams, im clueless!

but ya gl

[YDK]

Thanks for the input there Mike, I haven't don't anything with childrends books so that's a lot more info I never woulda known lol

[King Ra.]

Jesus at the amount of no shows.

[Certain]

Adonis and anyone else who wants to contribute to no-show shine, that would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to have three or four breakdowns for each verse. I personally am going to do extensive verse breakdowns for each.

[oats]

I can help with the no-show shine, and when I get back home I'll def vote on the open battle. We got this, AOWL.

This round was a resounding success.

That hurt, Frank.

I thought you were my boy!?

There should definitely be an emergency extension life line available in the playoffs.
At least give me an hour to type my verse up.

[Vulgar]

Viva La Vulgar!

One week isn't enough time to type your verse up?

Bruh I was able to get one typed up while working double shifts all week taking care of my 2 kids an even taking my daughter to the hospital. Ain't no way you didn't have time to write shit

[Frank]

I just need an hour or 2 to type my shit up

[big baby]

will frank ever win a aowl title? the past two seasons frank has suffered humiliating defeats and progress. From being blown to bits by el pancake in the championship last year, completely having his soul eradicated into nothingness. this season he no showed the first round and is out again.

[YDK]

Lmao its funniest because we all know he'd never allow a fair competition if he had already won

[Vulgar]

Frank has an honorable and flawless record. Any charges against him should be taken up with @The Text Police for a thorough examination of these slanderous accusations.

Anyone know a site to download albums for free? I need new music.

get soulseek. just dont download more than two albums at once from any particular user. each user only has a certain amount of upload slots, and you reserve them with qued downloads.. so you'll get banned from downloading from ppl.

Explain.

It's because there's a deadline?

[King Ra.]

Nah Certain. Nukkas procrastinated. They know the deadline, when it comes down to it, people just get caught up with everything else. I think we're all guilty of it. I am shocked after such a great mag and the fact it's playoffs, that there was going to be damn near so many no shows.

I'm sure the rest of the playoffs will be great though.

[e11even]

This shit is shit. Utter and complete shit. Why frank didn't do his thing is beyond me. Why so many no showed is beyond me. Why transformers was so fucking dope was beyond me. I will try to t-rex Dino bot Optimus fire blade timeless' s ass when our match comes to atone for this no show atrocity. That is all.

Appreciate the sites patrown and YDK. I'll check them out later.

This inspired me to write twenty pages on my novel today.

Now it's time to smoke.

[Adonis]

Certain

Do you plan on giving us an extra day or two to write considering the holiday?

[Adonis]

This inspired me to write twenty pages on my novel today.

Now it's time to smoke.

And the smoke inspired you to watch TV and not write those pages right?

I'm the worse stoner, even though I'm not any more for this very reason, after smoking I lose the ability to articulate anything. I literally can't have a normal conversation. If you ask me a question I will sit there blank, and after a 15-30 seconds what you said will register in my brain, and it takes another 5-10 seconds to sputter out whatever response I can muster.

Alcohol is where it is at for me, and I've learned to control the intake so I haven't been fighting with the world because I'm not plastered any more, just a light buzz then I chug a water before drinking 3 more. I'm a mature dad now, sup!!
