@Vulgar @Innovator

Just so I'm clear, what rules ARE rules that are used around here?
Line limits, actual due date to post a verse, topic selection... I need to know what rules I can ignore since Frank gets to ignore the only one that would have given him a loss

[Dearg]

Shit it's about to go down.

[YDK]

Nothings about to go down, I just want to be aware of what is and isn't an actual rule

If I may.... One simple rule which you have followed up to now

Post and Win

Just do you bro, This battle will not go on any record regardless.

[Dearg]

Damn. I was hoping for a Kentucky Fried Chicken death-match.

No its not that simple, if I choose to post now or 2 days from now could cause me to be considered no showing...unless everybody can just ignore the due dates an post whenever they feel like it.

Or if I write to the line limit an Frank goes over is that one gonna be ignored too?

I honestly need some clarity on all the rules since I've always abided by then but when they're not used I don't know which ones I don't have to follow

Chik Fil a goat




and I don't know man. I have competed in this poetry league for over half of the season and we have all followed the same loose rules. Vulgar has allowed us to police ourselves considering all matters. We are here to write and read others art. We are here to vote with little parenting. We are here to go along for the ride. I say drop it because I don't want this to discourage a mod from running what has been a complete success. I know you respect that notion regardless of your response. But my statement still stands


We are here to write and vote in a successful league with as little moderating as possible.

We are adults who do this for fun

We are not receiving accolades for this wildly successful experiment

We ARE here, let us continue.


I sympathize little and write a ton, you are my friend, lets battle next week in the champ match

[Dearg]

If it's really that big of an issue, just give Frank a negative vote and let the battle continue. He missed the check in deadline, not the battle deadline (yet).

Just my recommendation.

[YDK]

I respect the league an been happily going along with it, but I refuse to get screwed when frank pulls a Frank move and its allowed because I'm unaware of whatever rule not being enforced.
I honestly don't understand how or why the rules are even posted if they aren't followed, and I want to know which are so that this doesn't happen again.
Just sayin "yeah its okay the rules there but...we don't care" doesn't give me any clarity or insight on the rest of the rules or nonrules

[Adonis]

so neither of us mod here. I'm done speculating

I'm off to continue drinking and now smash these loud heathens who think they can best me at bones


I destroy dominoes, come get some

[YDK]

Never played actually...unless you call lining them up all over my room as a mid and watching them all fall down playin dominoes lol

[Dearg]

I made a line outta dominoes once, it was exciting for about three seconds. Then I tried getting creative and it didn't work.

[YDK]

So Frank no showed anyway smh

[Dearg]

All that for nothing lol.

[YDK]

That just proves exactly why I wanted a different opponent and not frank
