I guess this doesn’t matter now since you didn’t post on time anyway, but I’m intrigued as to how the rest of the league feel about this scenario:

Would you guys allow your opponent to go over the agreed upon line limit, that they themselves requested, after you had already posted your verse?

I can’t help but feel this grants them an unwarranted advantage to do so.

While we’re at it, I’ll also ask, would you allow your opponent at extension only requested after you had posted your verse?

I had a busy week, both my children were sick, it was the school holidays so they were home all week and free time was at a premium, I struggled writing, managed to get my verse up in time even though I wasn’t 100% happy with it. Rock then mentions for the first time he needs an extension today. I could for sure have used that additional 24 hours myself if he had given me a prior heads up, but to only request it after I’ve posted feels wrong to me somehow.

As things sit currently, I feel like I’m being asked to effectively deprive myself of the guaranteed win via NS and then concede every conceivable advantage (line limit, timeframe) so that he then has the chance to potentially win the title.

There’s nothing about the situation that benefits me, nor gives me an incentive to allow him to post, besides me ‘getting a battle’. Do you guys see what I’m saying? I’m at a lose-lose with it. I look like an asshole if I deny it him, but if I needlessly accept it I risk potentially losing when there is absolutely no reason for me to do so. It’s an unnecessary risk after a tough week. I don’t see how it would be beneficial for me to do so. Sorry, Rock.

Let me know what you guys think.
