Week 2 Predictions and Chat/Discussion

[Mike Wrecka]

talk your shit

[PancakeBrah]

I feel as though this week's topic concept is right in my wheelhouse and am predicting a clean sweep of Storyteller. My rhyming will be tight, my thoughts incisive, and I will operate on superior mental plane in respect to my competitor.

[Spoken]

Yes sir.....

[Inno]

this place needs a subforum for closed battles.

have yo uguys thought about maybe putting in a mini challenge cypher..

every week a new cypher with a new challenge..obviously not as involved
as the actually battle topic...but just something for people to chew on..

[Certain]

I have a good idea of how to approach this topic, but I don't know that the board would appreciate a 90-line verse.

[Objective]

every week a new cypher with a new challenge..obviously not as involved
as the actually battle topic...but just something for people to chew on..

Word, this sounds dope.

[Spoken]

Cypher implementation fam!!

[Rawn M.D.]

Certain Serpent i will NOT appreciate a 90 line verse LMFAO

also, i just read ur check in post, if plans go as they should, i will b in an alternate dimension for the majority of 2marrow, but its not for certain. But do what u do, imma try to write this asap upon my return to reality.

[Brian Bryan]

lmao yo can i request a slight extension well in advance?

i've no idea how PST time translates to GMT

i'll be here though

just don't wanna be DQ'd for something beyond my control/IQ

[Certain]

GMT (assuming you mean Greenwich Mean Time, is eight hours ahead of PST, though right now most of the West Coast is on PDT, which is seven hours behind GMT.

[Rawn M.D.]

Certain Serpent

r u writing today?
i dont think im in the right mindstate to write on something like this currently lol

[Certain]

I probably will post tomorrow.

[Adonis]

If you post 90 lines it better come with 40 of mickeys and dime bag of dro or else you get

NO LOVE
Certain Serpent

[Atheist]

Researching conspiracy theories is intresting, still dont know what angle to take tho.

[Rawn M.D.]

zygote just out a curiosity how r u deciding matched? Random or is there a method?

[Mike Wrecka]

ya Rawn M.D. he said he assigns numbers and then puts them in a random match generator

[Rawn M.D.]

Word I thought I read that somewhere wasn't sure tho

[Mike Wrecka]

I would say yes. But figurative is cool.

So is frank, just too many games

[Certain]

Faggoty Frank, no?

It's diversity week, damn it!

[Spoken]

Bleh.... I'm losing myself in my verse damnit

[dead man]

if there is an opportunity to compete this week as an alternate, i will be able to make the deadline. thanks

[Fig]

Faggoty Frank, no?

This is my most common name amongst my peers, yes

[Adonis]

dead man Mike Wrecka

There is a 3way match which is never fun. But I don't think it would be cool to switch topics IF someone is paired vs. Dead.

Maybe all 4 members have same topic? Just a thought yo zygote

[Mike Wrecka]

ok i am certain of who certain serpent is now. based off style not ips. havent bothered to care enough to check

[Certain]

Feel free to share your theory with the group or to check the IPs.

[Split]

CS is not dagel, writes uniquely from everyone I know. passed the frank spot-check

[Nigma]

I bet you your assumption of CS is wrong!

Also I have a complaint: Chat and discussion is the same thing making the title of this thread incredibly redundant. Perhaps next week we can call it chat and predictions

[Certain]

This thread and the review thread seem redundant, as well.

[Inno]

Combine both threads

[Nigma]

The review thread is for all intents and purposes a weekly mag summarizing last weeks matches and providing topics for the current week. I feel both threads are warranted however slight name changes could positively alter the content of both

[Split]

chat- off topic
discussion- about the league/ matches/ writing

[Nigma]

chat- off topic
discussion- about the league/ matches/ writing

One of my favorite attention drawing features to these threads is reading peoples people's predictions and it seems not having it in tbe title deters people from doing so. I could always lead by example but MEHHH

[Rawn M.D.]

certain serpent vs rawn md - open for votes Mike Wrecka zygote

[Rawn M.D.]

its a shame that i knew mennonites weren't male chauvinists

woulda been more fun to write, agreed Certain Serpent ?

[Certain]

I just wanted to write about midgets.

[Adonis]

Ext. Requested

Remember when saying that was cool???

No joke, got a realy dope G-unit jacket around some place. Tried to sell a few times at yard sales and shit, no takers

My battle with Rawn M.D. Is up: http://netcees.co/showthread.php?t=9385

I will return feed in the form of a league vote, topical/swag-and-flow battle vote or open mic response to anyone who votes. Innovator, I still owe you from last week, if you have any open mic pieces you'd like fed.

[Inno]

Its all good man...I dont think I voted on your battle last week

So no stress broseph.

This topic is killing me.

[Inno]

Also..
Flo Real

Dope approach to the topic homie.

[Flow]

Cheers Innovator I keyed it up in case I missed deadline hoping I can get some time on it Tomoz to polish it before the rest drop

[Certain]

Is that allowed?

[Inno]

Certain Serpent

I think if no votes have been casted its allowed, im not sure tho

[Fig]

I just wanted to write about midgets.

Only now do i realize how privileged i really am

[Rawn M.D.]

First person can edit till Seco dperson posts second person can edit till votes casted that's the usual rules Certain Serpent

[Adonis]

How much?

You wanna pay shipping and shit its yours for 20 brotha.

I gotta pull it out of storage but shit clean as could be.

Come to think of it, I'm like 99% sure it only ever was worn once.

Take a pic if I can find it.

Its medium though???

[Adonis]

Cheers Innovator I keyed it up in case I missed deadline hoping I can get some time on it Tomoz to polish it before the rest drop



Since Atheist and I have both req. Ext.

Feel free to take it down and polish. I assume you're allowing ext. From above post so yeah.

IMO I think leaving it up if you know you might change shit is risking the slight chance someone reads it now and not after the edit.

[Flow]

Perhaps - ill take my chances

Agreed to both your exts

[Nigma]

Can someone capitalize the P in 'predictions' in the title of this thread? It's bothering me and I can't be the only one

[Mike Wrecka]

or, and I like this idea way better, we make the N in nigma lowercase from now on

[Nigma]

I dare you

[Inno]

Split Eight

Can I getz the extension brosephina?

[Adonis]

How much?

Perhaps - ill take my chances

Agreed to both your exts

I'm ready. But I haven't spell checked shit cuz I wrote it on my phone and emailed it to myself.

Tomorrow my shit will be up after work though G.

Good luck. Don't think I've read a single thing from you ever. But I know the name.

[Certain]

There goes trying to get my voting done tonight. Well, for anyone who already has written or is signing in next week, at least there's one battle up already: http://netcees.co/showthread.php?t=9385

[Nigma]

I wrote half my verse then went to wolverine. Will have it done tomorrow around 3pm pacific standard time. Thank you for your ongoing cooperation, I shall see you on the other side

[Pinot Grij]

I wrote half my verse then went to wolverine.

a worthy excuse if there ever was one.. how was that shit homey?

[Nigma]

a worthy excuse if there ever was one.. how was that shit homey?

The beginning was extremely slow but bearable if you are interested in the lore. Takes awhile before you even see his claws but there were some good action scenes and a few that get you laughing. Some cheeay parts that could have been removed but meh. Not a bad story and a decent twist at the end. I'd like to eventually see an xmen movie with more gore, the Wolverine story would have been an ideal candidate

[Plot]

Aight I'll post then too, just got back from work and braindead

hey man, at least i was gracious enough to tell you you had a great verse, let's not bother with the beef eh?

[Pent uP]

What beef?
I didnt read your verse so why would I tell you I liked it?
I rarely read my opponents verses. Nothing personal. .I can make commentary about your verse last week which I liked but I just dont have anything to say this week.

[Pent uP]

Oh.
No.
I just had to reread the thread now..I didnt know he was replying to you. That was a stand alone funny.

[Mike Wrecka]

gazette for future reference don't give your opinion of votes against you while the battles open. that could be considered swaying which is a DQ. just a heads up.

[Gazette]

werd, but if someone straight up insults me in a different thread (this one) on the basis of a recent battle, surely I'm allowed to defend myself? Aint like i'm "actively" trying to curry votes, just some cunt wants a bit of banter, fair dooz no?

[Mike Wrecka]

I was referring to the post you made in the battle thread that we deleted for you. you were breaking down a voters vote. that was unacceptable. but no harm done. we caught it quick enough.

aaaah, my bad. Yeah I already apologized to Zygote, lost my temper a bit. Took me 3 hours to write that verse tho so you can understand I'd be a little bit annoyed if some dippy asshole half-reads it n starts criticizing shit that wasnt even in there. but yeah, slip of the temperament, i'll leave that thread alone

[PancakeBrah]

That's weird. I'm a published poet and an English BA student at Oxford, England. That you exemplified in your vote though. 0-7? Kayyyy, thanks for that. (yes, you may proceed to suck it)

I have a feeling that student will be your occupation until you kill yourself due to student debt if any of that is true, which it isn't.

I take that back, you could be published and have an English BA. But anyone worthy of a decent college wouldn't reply so childish with such earnest. You meant that 0-7 remark, whereas someone with legitimate intelligence or wit would ascertain I'm not an idiot due to a record. And even if I was an idiot, someone from your insane loftiness wouldn't gleam that from a record on a text site but rather from how I post.

Also, everything I wrote above is useless. Because if what you wrote, with it's horrible grammar and grade school level story mechanics, is what they profess at Oxford they should be discredited.

You're a liar and horrible at English. Don't speak to me again.

[Split]

Edit: probably can't say that while the battle is up.

Gazette should learn the nuances of topicals vs poetry

well, you obviously worked quite hard on that reply so I won't criticize you too much, but

"childish with such earnest"

doesn't make sense, nor does

"that 0-7 remark, whereas someone with legitimate intelligence or wit would ascertain I'm not an idiot"

Because that's exactly what one would logically ascertain from such a piss-poor record.

"someone from your insane loftiness wouldn't gleam that from a record on a text site but rather from how I post"

Fair enough, I'll draw my conclusions from the post I'm quoting. Yep, you're still an idiot.

"Also, everything I wrote above is useless. Because if what you wrote, with it's horrible grammar and grade school level story mechanics, is what they profess at Oxford they should be discredited."

Yes it's useless, because you've failed to differentiate between University level writing, and some colloquial shit I'm spewing on a forum to a jumped up little moron like yourself.

Hope that wasn't too harsh. Seeya.

alright, firstly, to whose standard do I have to be 'suitably succinct'? The fuck, this is a rap forum, not a dissertation y'idiot.

I don't know if i did avoid your questions. Please, ask them again, I'm so interested.

"abstractions even in prosaic expression"

yeah that sounds well impressive bro, but it's completely wrong, you're defending a grammatical error with, ironically, flowery abstractions of your own. 'prosaic expression' hasn't got a damn thing to do with it dumbass.

[Gazette]

I'm out for a bit, be back in like half an hour, so you got time to rustle up your big words and make equally meaningless statement as that last one, take your time, i'll reply, this is amusing.

[Split]

Split Eight

did he sway after ur warning? If so then..
If not then that's overkill... Even if he refuted u
and I think Pent uP may agree... Not to many ppl like to win or lose over a dq

I'd say clean the thread n reopen under the condition Gazette doesn't refute votes or sway ne more


Dude I will go get the deleted posts

There is no way I could not have DQ'd

I warned three times and deleted about 9 posts, attacking voters, his opponents, etc

Not only is this against the rules but he wouldn't stop, just kept saying DQ me bitch


I'm not gonna leave it open, policing the thread to protect the voters against the writers. Sorry.

[Split]

Not to mention original sway against Pancake

[Gazette]

nah I fully deserved the DQ lol. I broke most of the rules, technically. for pricks like Split Eight it's worth it tho

[Rawn M.D.]

Lol at knowing or even go ogling the lyrics to 'I'll b there for u'

but yo Split Eight
just clean that sht n reopen
I kno u may dislike gaz but he's actually decent and contributes to the league and he shows
Gazette if split opens r u still Goin to refute n free post or can u hold ur fingers back till after decision or if u need immediate justification do so thru pms?

[Split]

Maybe you should reevaluate what you are doing with your life.

[Gazette]

so anyway Split Eight, you were saying, you picture me in a tank-top ...

Split Eight I think by now I've seen the majority... But still there's only so m any of us that did n the majority voted already... So if it's cleaned n deleted what harm is th ere for prospective voters?

Nd before u respond remember who macnazi is...

And Gazette stop pickin a fight Bro..
I'm trying to help u out n the league too
he doesn't need ur support

[Gazette]

Maybe you should reevaluate what you are doing with your life.


yeah you're right. half an hours beef on a rap forum has completely realigned my values, not only as a battler, but as a person

[Certain]

If standards and rules are never enforced, why should anyone follow them?

[Gazette]

oh, bringing out the pics now. what was that you were saying about me being 'unprofessional?' ... desperate to win a stupid internet argument much?

[Gazette]

yuuuuu guys. you funny. i'll brb, needa go re-evaluate my life as per mateys wisdom

[Rawn M.D.]

Alright ill stop now.. I tried.

Still Gazette Idc if u vote on my match considering both me n serpent voted against u I think ull cast a fair vote regardless.

[Gazette]

Split-Eight. I genuinely had to scroll up for your name, that's how much you're bothering me

[Split]

Rawn. I know what you're saying. I have a history of apparently unfairly DQing people now. But no. If you're actively creating an unfair advantage and refusing to stop, then battle over... Especially when he's posting 3x in a row saying he's not gonna stop, just DQ him, trying to beef with CS in thread..

This isn't personal at all. I don't have any opinion towards anyone, except maybe Gamble. Dude is freaking out.


What do you want me to do? Leave it open? Let it collect 8x pages of freeposts? That just makes the league look bad. Idk I'm trying to help MW and Zygote run this league, by just moderating when they are not around. It seems like the right thing to do.


yeah you're right. half an hours beef on a rap forum has completely realigned my values, not only as a battler, but as a person

I mean. Why are you competitively writing if you don't care about winning? You were taking criticism pretty personally out there.

You attempt to make a mockery of the sport, therefore making a mockery of yourself. G'day

yh course i will man, i aint petty, i'll check it out in a bit

[Rawn M.D.]

Split Eight Lol I wasn't referring to ur history dqs lol I kinda forgot till now in fact but.. I've abandoned d the thought at this point bc he's like asking g for it...

But Srsly if u want to question a vote or reasoning PM it its not hard
Moreover, although battling this isn't battling like it's not an insult contest
there's nothing wrong with being competitive or feeling passionate about ur writing, but in this type of arena it's more expanding ur skills set than anything else, so critique should b encouraged Gazette
hence the league being called 'challenge' just imo but I think it's logical

[Gazette]

say what? i wasn't aware that beefing w/ some gormless asshole on the internet was classed as 'competitive writing' ... that's what you were replying to - but as for my battling, well, I never said I don't care, in fact, I made a post you promptly deleted about it (which you obviously didn't read) - I said it's annoying when u take the time write a verse, only to get misunderstood or criticized for things that aren't actually in there

Ring a bell? C'mon man, i got voted against for having a 'bad twist' (there was no twist) - and for 'randomly capitalizing letters' (each cap was the start of a multie) and for having only 'the seeds of ideas' (a non-linear narrative split between three conflicting characters, all borne from the word 'Frotterurism')... fuck that, i thought long and hard about my approach. Are you honestly gonna stand there and tell me that if that was your verse, you wouldn't speak up? Honest question. Gotta have a bit of self-respect man

I wouldn't mind taking the L, Ive had plenty and i lost count of my W's / L's years ago, that's just air to me, but it does annoys the fuck outta me when i know ive done a good bit of writing, and I get criticized on totally unfair terms by some jumped up little shit who thinks he can teach me a lesson. "I didn't like the Twist" - "I hate ..., no, i HATE how you capitalize some letters" ... the fuck kinda opinion is that? I lost a battle cus some of the letters I wrote were digitally a bit bigger than my opponents? Yeah, the stupidity IS annoying

I wouldn't do so in a battle thread, no. And you aren't allowed to try and explain your writing to voters, that defeats the point of writing in the first place. Especially when Pent uP can't do the same thing.

I'm sure you did take a lot of time. But the fact remains that you can't change your audience, just your approach. Which is why you should appreciate the voters.

[Rawn M.D.]

Yes.

nah, you can't ask anyone to appreciate an unfair opinion of you, that's tantamount to asking someone to bend over and smile, it's just unrealistic. you can try to uphold the idealization of it (Every vote is educated and fair yeah?) but if that wasn't a moot endeavor, there would be no need for mods like yourself, would there?

Fact is, people care about what they do, and when they expose what they do to people who may not care (ie - battling / voting) you're gonna get friction.

My opinion is that mods should stop being so passively chauvinistic about the sites they take care of, and actually uphold and encourage a stance against questionable votes. why bother to blindly and deafly keep afloat a site when its integrity depends on its users longterm satisfaction? there's no sense in that, use your melon bro. When did the right to vote become synonymous with a good or valid vote? No. Stupidity.

Pancake didnt base his vote on your capitalization. He wanted a rise out of you, got one and left. He and CS are competent voters and writers.

So you pass final judgement on other people's opinions of you? Sounds open-minded.

You don't know what a questionable vote is. Votes are subjective. And this isn't your site, or your league, so cool. I'm just enforcing rules to the extent that I think mods would want. You went above and beyond retardedly immature and unsportsmanlike.

Thanks for wasting two hours of my time. Don't do that shit while people are actively voting. I don't think you proved your self-righteous point, either.

[Rawn M.D.]

Gazette in defense of those who voted on ur battle (me being one) with the exception of pancakes capital comment (and he does the same sht about centered verses tbh) all the votes had valid reasoning. Anytime a voter puts enough time to read ur verse, identify and process it, and leave an in depth (not like a sentence) reply it's valid. Just bc u don't agree w it does not make it invalid as a vote, but may make it as invalid critique to the writer... But that is why multiple people vote..
And it's a vote between 2 ppl, while advice/critique is geared toward the individual.. All those votes Consisted of both critique and a vote.
. Making them more than valid... Moreover all the ppl who voted on that match are good writers, not just ppl who suck giving bs reasoning that they hold high bc they suck. U were actually kinda lucky w ur voting turn out, whether u appreciate it or not (n I'm not saying anyone in this league is in the latter of those situations either) Gazette

[Gazette]

Look man, i'm way past caring about that battle, but the capitalization WAS given as a reason ... either way, how is "He wanted a rise out of you, got one and left" meant to give me any faith or satisfaction in the vote?? You're pretty much stating my case for me there, wtf

So you pass final judgement on other people's opinions of you? Sounds open-minded.

It wouldn't be open minded if I actually did pass "final Judgement" - but that's just a phrase you've used for ur own purposes, I'm evidently perfectly willing to discuss, I'm doing it right now.

You don't know what a questionable vote is. Votes are subjective. And this isn't your site, or your league, so cool. I'm just enforcing rules to the extent that I think mods would want. You went above and beyond retardedly immature and unsportsmanlike.

No, you're absolutely wrong, if votes are valid in their subjectivity alone, there would be no need whatsoever for moderation ... because anyone's say would count - kind of a no-brainer ... moderation is supposed to be the interjection of fairness, and that in itself is subjective, so all I did was appeal to whatever fairness was supposed to preside, and all you did was flatly deny that appeal, in a rather mindless - even Fascist manner. Seriously, think back to what happened and tell me I'm wrong.

Thanks for wasting two hours of my time. Don't do that shit while people are actively voting. I don't think you proved your self-righteous point, either.

Nobody forced you to take 2 hours replying to me, that was your choice. What, you had to click like 5 boxes to delete my posts, that was all of 30 seconds worth, the rest of your interaction with me was voluntary mate, don't be stupid, if ur taking time to reply to me its on you. I aint gonna stop doin what i'm doin just because youre choosing to spend your apparently valuable time on it

[Rawn M.D.]

Gazette excluding the capital remark, from a 3rd party standpoint I think it did

also I wanted to address the Line u quoted from pent up in one of ur original replies..
I don't feel it was one of those this just sounds nice without saying nothing... I don't rmbr it word for word, and I'll go look at it again after this reply to double check my accuracy, but it was about suicide... More in context not planned suicide, but suicide as a response to a response (this is the part I have to double check bc i don't rmbr the exact wording but if I don't edit or reply I rmbr correct)

yeah i barely understood half of that. the only line i quoted of his was the 'hands and wrists' line. it made no sense whatsoever. like, really, im not being a cunt, the battle's basically over so i have no reason to downplay his bars, but it had ZERO merit except for the multies-scheme it fit into. And you guys fell for it, cus fuck making sense, its was 'creative' lol, yyyyeah. fuckin plank had nothin but a load of multies strung together in an abstract husk of pretentious story-telling, i really can't believe you guys didnt see that. Fail

[Rawn M.D.]

Gaz lol u can ask pent I've said the same thing u just said like word for word, multiple times even.. And If u even reread my comment/vote I kinda insinuate it in there as well... But this week I didnt find that to b the case, an if I did I Def would've said so bc although I think pent can write that is my main argument against him the majority of the time... This week I didn't feel it t was smart talk strung together with multi tho, but rather more character driven but that my opinion and I'll stop with that bc i don't feel like restating my vote

and I'm typing from my phone so excuse typos n shortness

[Gazette]

okay ... but if thats the case (and that WAS the case - I can pick out ten lines from his verse right now that were sensically tenuous at best) .. how did I lose to that? I'm just as capable of stringing together a tandem of flowery multies with some abstract, reader-reliant meaning, that's what most noobs do in a Topical.

But I know that, so I went for simple, concrete, accessible wording, put the complexity into developing characters and messing about with the timeline, Shit i even threw some Irony (the golden egg of all creative writing) into the mix, but what do I get? ... "the wording was off"... lol, GTFO man, there's noooo way my drop wasn't better thought out, better developed, less technically sound or less creative than that pile of generic shit.

But do what ya like man, do me a favor though, re-read n pay proper attention the 'egg' lines in the first section, then the 'Blistered feet' lines in the last, think about it, then come back n tell me my 'wording was off'

Firstly, I support Split Eight's actions here 100%. In the interests of fairness and transparency I will explain my reasoning quickly. We emailed once back and forth Gazette. I apologized for deleting your post and explained why it had to be done - A) it is was an unnecessary comment creating bias (see weekly FAQ's) B) while you may have been displeased at the votes by others, those votes were not so unjustified that they could be discounted. You responded that you understood, and you wouldn't do it again. You did the same thing again, so you were DQ'd.

[Rawn M.D.]

Firstly I re read it

secondly I never personally said u words were off I said ur rhyming words were to imperfect (fanny/alley) and some of that gave it a sing song feel to me, and then i commented on ur scheming bc sometimes u go a, b, a (with the b rhyming with an internal b) and others u just a, a, a it

and all I got from the egg line was cold eggs/overcooked eggs as a reference to y ur mad and going to do whatever nasty sht ahead as a foreshadow and blisters feet with another throwback reference done at the end.. So for continuity sake I see, but I don't really get much more then that out of it... Maybe I'm overtired I unno, but I doubt it.. Unless ur using them as metaphors for egg=new life like foreshadowing his meeting Alan and the two of them forging a sadistic (cold) bond that basically is new to him as a individual and changed him dramatically and the blistered feet = tired and overworked eluding t their victim being really old n then them working her over more.. But a that point I feel like I'm over thinking it, bc that's not really conveyed via story.
And i f I REALLY want to reach eggs/gonads overcooked/old n dried out and eggs blister in pans while cooking but that a reach like big time.

and sometimes dumbing things Down dumbs down the peice (but I think u were going more to give it characters personality,) personally only time I see a dumb down as beneficial is with a complex concept or emotion or for character personality and designation

nah nah, c'mon man, be fair, i was pretty much goaded back into the argument, i innocently asked Vulgar for a breakdown, no sway, no nothin, then that bitch what-his-face made a smarmy comment i had to reply to. Look back at this thread man, it's all there

ok fair enough, I'm British, the rhymes works perfectly in my accent but I can see how you wouldn't read it like that

and all I got from the egg line was cold eggs/overcooked eggs as a reference to y ur mad and going to do whatever nasty sht ahead as a foreshadow and

no dude, did you not notice how i said in the early bar that i'll fuck her up if my eggs were cold ... then a few bars down i was describing Franks usual day, which consisted of Overcooked eggs? As in, she's usually so scared of the eggs being cold, she overcompensates? C'mon, irony, like i was sayin, I never see anyone re-reference concepts like that but it seems to have gone unnoticed anyway

and sometimes dumbing things Down dumbs down the peice (but I think u were going more to give it characters personality,) personally only time I see a dumb down as beneficial is with a complex concept or emotion or for character personality and designation

no, nothing was dumbed down, just contextualized, i used colloquial language because i was speaking in the first person of the characters ... that aint being simple, thats thinking how a common personality would speak, itd be fuckin strange if i broke out the metaphors and vocab while assuming the tongue of a small-town, wine-guzzling rapist yh?

Anyway, yeah, i think im askin too much. I know i had the better bars tho

[Rawn M.D.]

See the way I took that eggs thing in that context was the exact opposite lol

Cuz I figured if his eggs r overcooked than he ain't Goin to eat them so they Goin turn cold n that's why he mad

Moreover 'she' has yet to b introduced unless ur speaking on a former victim or spouse, and if that's the case u should have prefaced that... Irony is best executed when it's blatant n clear

also that's what I figured u were doing w ur simple wording was making it colloquial and giving g ur characters personality (I said that in parentheses above and in my vote btw)

[Rawn M.D.]

Before u comment I just peeped it again n u say mom so ya u do preface it but my mind takes away old hag and then links it with the future victim bc i have read it already... But that's doesn't detract from what I'm saying abovr

and even if u view that as irony it doesn't go with th e storyline it's like a side thought in a margin that at best speaks to his personality n behavior, but doesn't go deeper

u put way to much credence in that I feel

well i see what ur saying, but i think thats overthinking it, the opposite of too cold is too hot, so imma stand by my wording on that

anyway, ain't a single line in mateys drop that could generate this kinda discussion, only questions i got for him are 'what the fuck does that even mean' kinna questions, so i'm 'appy

[Rawn M.D.]

Btw I also want to say don't misconstrue my dumb down comment l.. I read ur piece last week, and I was already aware that u were not dumb

[Rawn M.D.]

But man think about this instead of going with simple colloquial rhyming g u could have gone the other extreme and ur character development could have been if not jut as good, better bc it would o depicted deeper psychopathy then just a simple sadists n perverts

hmmm, not sure i'm the one putting the stock in that tbh, i dont think me referencing 'mom' produces any link with the old woman at the end. theres no irony intended there, the irony i mainly put into it is how they both miserably failed simultaneously on their sexual quests, and then came together stronger for the final rape. kinda like your usual Hollywood, Hero story, but with an old-person getting beaten up and raped, its a pretty classic story arc tbh

[Gazette]

But man think about this instead of going with simple colloquial rhyming g u could have gone the other extreme and ur character development could have been if not jut as good, better bc it would o depicted deeper psychopathy then just a simple sadists n perverts

appreciated, but my rhyming wasnt all that simple, i switched a lot and had plenty of 5+syllable inners in very short bars. not an easy thing to do while ur trying to maintain a story as well. wish someone had brought that up actually

[Rawn M.D.]

No I got that lol ur misunderstanding me... I'm just saying ur putting a lot of credence in the irony of her overcooking his eggs bc she scared of him due to her knowing he Goin beat her if they cold.. Moreover, ur putting a lot of credence in ppl catching the subtle irony of it..additionally ur bolstering it as a highlight of ur verse

to me every topical that's good will have a few take away lines (for me their usually conceptually deep or insightful - but everyone is differnt) but what is th ultimate is the big picture, how it's approach ed, delivered, comprehended, and what can u take away.

nah i'm not, its not like my verse rests on that, i just thought it was a good example of intri***y, which counteracts any argument of my bars being thoughtless

yeah, subjectivity, i get that. I just think alot of the writing devices i used in that drop went unnoticed, while i got picked out for superficial shit like capitalization, not very just, that's all

[Rawn M.D.]

Nah I noticed that Tbh, I just was not a fan of the word choice u utilized to deliver the. Multi scheme... Bc even for colloquial wording and despite the multi string the words individually appeared basic on there own... Like stuff I would expect my younger nephew in grade school to say... N I do t want u to take that wrong bc it sounds insulting... Like the words independent each other and the rhyme scheme, on a si gle word for single word basis were kind of relative to a child's vernacular more than an adult... And mental behavior wise sadists rnt typically dumb ppl, fucked up yea, but not uneducated.. So I'm referring more to word CHOICE than word use
. If u get me

[Gazette]

i mean, i really did put thought into it, made sure every character directly said 'Hello' at the point where the last one's story concluded, and made the entire coincidence of meeting believable. I literally considered that, so its hard for me to sit back n let someone tell me it wasnt devloped enough, while in the same post, Pent uP gets praised for his 'creativity' - as if that drop is structurally or linguistically different from any other one of the hundred topical dropped on forums last week. go find a topical u can compare fairly to mine in the last 6 months. Good luck. Pisses me off

well yeah, when i write an omniscient or 3rd person impersonal topical i got vocab comin out of my ass, i really wasn't lying when i said i'm a published poet lol, but i was speaking in the vocab that my characters would use.

DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER, DEGRADATION OF SPIRIT, SLANDEROUS AND DANGEROUS ABUSES OF POWER. NO, NO, NO WHO CAN STAND FOR THIS? A GOOD OLD OXFORD BOY OF CAMBRIDGE STOCK EDUCATED DOWN BY LONDON ROAD. WHY HIS VERY NATURE IS BEYOND REPROACH. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS TO THINK OTHERWISE. STUDY THE EVIDENCE IN QUESTION. IS IT REASONABLE TO THINK THAT THESE ARE THE DIMPLED CHEEKS OF A MADMAN? NO CERTAINLY NOT! STUDY THAT UPSTANDING HAIRCUT AND FASHIONABLE (FULLY-ZIPPED) JACKET. CLEARLY THIS IS THE VERY PROFILE OF A LAWABIDING CITIZEN. THIS SO CALLED “DISQUALIFICATION” IS MERELY THE VINDICTIVE ACTION OF A PETTY TYRANT.

[Rawn M.D.]

I never said it was thoughtless. Like I said before I knew u were bright prior to reading, and from my experience sometimes to make something something appear thoughtless requires more thought than not. Moreover writing a story requires thought and planning for sequence of events n character development. But understand that when u write on a lower comprehension level ur readers are going to read on that level, so although u may have clever subtle literary devices and things within the writing ur readers have already developed expectations and are not goin to look for those devices because their expectations s blind them to it... And u can't fault them for that... U can't give someone a pbnj sandwich and then and ask them to identify the region that the grapes were grown in... Bc simple put it's still a pbnj sandwich... But if ur given a gourmet panini u have the ability to ask what ingredients they enjoyed and stuff

the biggest mistake young writers (in any format) make is the assumption that awesome vocab and complexity make for a good piece.

Its not true, think of the last novel you read, how many times did you have to reach for the dictionary? not many, right? Does that mean the author has a shit vocab? nah, course not, they consciously avoided that interruption - making a story accessible IS the skill

- a general rule of novel writers is 'don't include more than one stand-out word per chapter' ... you can look that up, it's a well known staple, inexperienced writers may get carried away with impressive words, but in the end, they aint doing anything a thesaurus can't do. Pacing, character, accessibility, POV, narration, these are the proper tools to learn how to handle. Had all of em in my verse. how many did pent up have? it was a series of bars based loosely on the root concept, no character progression, no story, first-person cop-out, nothin, i dont care what the voters think, it was trash

Rant over, im goin to bed, peez

i actually agree with you in so far as the 'loosely based root of a concept' being exploited, but many textcees do this, Pent uP shouldn't be singled out for it

great examples are SacriFICE and Three Planes Aligned, two who've won just about everything there was to win with that style

[Rawn M.D.]

I got u a little bit later today Brian Bryan I'm on my phone currently and HATE giving feed from it... It's tedious n I feel like the quality of my feed suffers as well

do u want it in here and I'll '@' u or in the Om bc i seen u post it in there as well?

[Brian Bryan]

yeah just keep it to the OM forum

it looks better for activity

gutted Figurative didn't show

do wasted verses get like some no-show shine in the mag or what?

[Rawn M.D.]

Na but ull get 1 point out of 2 for showing and u can get the second point out the 2 by voting on three matches

[Brian Bryan]

dope

[Flow]

surely he should take all the points for winning? Brian Bryan ill hit it up now

[Rawn M.D.]

That's how they ensure that no shows vote tho Flo Real

[Flow]

guys I didn't think we had to say this but

THERE IS NO FREEPOSTING IN BATTLE THREADS

the only thing you should post in your battle thread is your check in, an extension request, and your verse. occasionally people may want to communicate with their opponent on verse length and terms of extension requests. that is understood. but that's it.

posting anything in a battle thread after it is OPEN FOR VOTES is especially not ok. maybe some of you are new to leagues but that is an amateur move. after a battle is open for votes really only votes should be posted in that thread.

come on guys lets make the WCL a serious, competitive and fun league. not a league of whining. 90% of the league is complying but me and split have had to delete like twenty free posts in open battles. not cool

[Rawn M.D.]

just pm ur communication, its a simple solution.

Thank you for correcting the P. Assuming it was you since you are just and kind hearted by nature.

[Rawn M.D.]

no next week ur name will be in lowercase Nigma

he just reached a compromise, thats all

[Nigma]

Could I please get Detective Mike Hunt, NCPD to the thread to call my lawyer. I'd like to see his view on the matter before relinquishing the capitalization.

[Spoken]

Ahh.... The irony... Seriously

[Detective Mike Hunt, NCPD]

Can you not contact your lawyer on your own time? I'm working a very important case involving Gazette and proposition 17.

I appreciate your time detective, however have forgotten the name and contact information of my lawyer and request that information or to have another lawyer appointed to me.

Rev. Al Sharkton

[Nigma]

Exemplary work, as always officer.
Rev. Al Sharkton May I have a word with you?

[Rawn M.D.]

Id refer u to WILLIAMSBURG, W. Nigma.
Rev Al tends to grandstand to mch.

[Nigma]

First responder gets my business

[Rawn M.D.]

word, i have a question for zygote Split Eight Mike Wrecka

how do u guys feel about pictures to support topics?
i seen it done with a couple verses this week through my browsing
i feel it can detract from the verse bc then it just becomes describing a picture; like the writing should paint the picture, rather then the picture doing the majority of the work
but at the same time...
i feel that it can be used as an effective tool to support the verse
just curious, bc Nigma posed a past conflict of feelings towards it
whats the official take?
(this is not taking into consideration if a picture is used as the actual topic, bc that is a whole different story)

Also, u may want to consider PM'ing the ppl who posted verses and got no showed, that they still are required to vote in order to get full points.

[PancakeBrah]

I feel it's perfectly fucking fine.

[Rawn M.D.]

PancakeBrah this was not a slight to u or anyone (more than 1 person used a pic this week)
just a follow up of a post i read and i was curious about

[Nigma]

Don't listen to him cake, he PM'd me saying that he was about to intentionally slight you. Rebel against the mud slinger

[Rawn M.D.]

and to think i referred u to my lawyer.
I recant!

[Nigma]

I'm a terrible and kind person suffering and enjoying split personality disorder. I would like to quietly yell for you to forgive me for my outbursts and then clean the foam of your mustache and go kick rocks. That's all. But I'm not done. Take your time, but if those tasks are completed in a very speedy matter I'm gonna slow your role. My other side is waking up, so have a good night sir!

[Coup]

in light of what just went down...Rawn or Certain if you would like more of an elaboration on my part of why I voted the way I did, holla.

[Rawn M.D.]

what went down Coup ?

[Coup]

the Oxford kid

[Rawn M.D.]

oh ur vote is cool with me, its explained and everything...if serpent wants it thats on him...but ur cool with me...imo that battle is a diff entity then ours. thanks tho.

[Eŋg]

http://i40.tinypic.com/2gxocxz.jpg

lol. that is all.

[Coup]

True that Rawn...I can always go at voting on different angles then the last and different approaches for breaking down my vote, depends a lot on the vibes of the verses I'm looking at...though I voted honestly on your battle, I just felt that I could have expressed more, but hey w/e

it sucks to get noshowed on, glad it happened on a weak verse of mine...got my 3 votes in, next week is looking better. going to put some more effort in depending how I perceive my opponent....
edit: and still lose

cya heads then.

[Rawn M.D.]

Word Coup, although u know what they say about ur best foot tho right... Plus like I said to 'the Oxford kid' this is more about expanding ur skill set than anything else, hence 'challenge league' at least that's my take...

[Rawn M.D.]

Imma try to get a few more votes in tho for good of the league Cuz I already got my 3 gotta get my comp charges back up tho...
Also Brian Bryan I hit up ur repost in the om as we discussed

[PancakeBrah]

PancakeBrah this was not a slight to u or anyone (more than 1 person used a pic this week)
just a follow up of a post i read and i was curious about

Why do you give a fuck, though?

[Coup]

My take is that no matter the challenge cats will write how they write...Though I was impressed by most of the takes on this weeks assignments...people giving them time and developing them literally. like the cyber fems and Mennonites and the Oxford kids/ Pents and others story/brah etc..made for a challenge indeed...

wonder what's next..

[Rawn M.D.]

PancakeBrah I care bc I've ran these type of leagues in the past myself, and I wanted insight on the official opinion/concensus... Fair?
