Black voted on a battle, actually.

Geno · 02-20-2013, 07:09 PM

I would @ discussion. But not rite now. Next mag, def. Jus holla @ me earlier about it.

King Ra. · 02-20-2013, 07:09 PM

@Split yeah man, definitely do that.

Zen · 02-20-2013, 07:18 PM

@King Keith you can pm me for the discussion shit as long as it's quick. Bouta head to work at 7

King Ra. · 02-20-2013, 07:22 PM

Got you.

zygote · 02-20-2013, 07:33 PM

"lol Hopefully zygote shows ain't seen him on in awhile." Maybe you misunderstood that first post in the contest page, that was my contribution, so now zenland vs zygote is open for contest.

As for topics - just looked through every contest page to see if contests are open and it was surprising too see all the images. Ambiguous pictures/phrases are good but it would also be good to see more well-defined topics or images. For example, how about a week of time periods, or famous characters, or occupations, or controversial topics? Perhaps having ambiguous topics actually decreases the number of things you can write about. Whereas a more concrete topic would stretch peoples comfort zones and give a greater margin in choosing what to write about.

Geno · 02-20-2013, 07:36 PM

Brilliant tbh. I like this idea/theory. Notes jotted

Oh. I thought that was the coolest check of all time but I was wrong...

King Ra. · 02-20-2013, 07:41 PM

@zygote it's funny that you mentioned that because I was thinking about that earlier today. That would be very dope. Myself, Geno & Split can certainly work on that for next week and the rest of the season.

Coup · 02-20-2013, 07:43 PM

I like what @zygote is on about....mods give ear!

I think it would be cool too to just give free reign every week on topics...biting/recycling/ghosting etc could be easily checked, so that would not be a problem. 10 years ago this would be blasphemy...but today ? it would probably make the league better. if not, whatever never lever better sever together.

I think that would heavily tilt the playing field towards people who've been writing longer.

Geno · 02-20-2013, 07:47 PM

.. @Split, @King Keith, ...to the modmobile.

King Ra. · 02-20-2013, 07:49 PM

Where the hell is the modmobile anyways?

Geno · 02-20-2013, 07:51 PM

Welll @Split. In that case.. we switch off and on. One week is pics or phrases aimed at a universal subject. The next = aimed @ nothing. I think to pick a subject.. and then find pics that relate to the same subject for every battle not only challenges the writer.. but us to as mods. It also helps individual battles to not feel so individual if everyone is aiming towards the same goal.. ultimately. It may just up post views/votes. Worth a try. I think next week is as good a week as any to test this theory

Geno · 02-20-2013, 07:51 PM

Lol. Its in the admin/mod forum. Duh

Coup · 02-20-2013, 07:56 PM

@Split perhaps, but then everyone could play to their strengths each week, filling out the battles a bit more. I guess the cool thing about topic restrictions is that it can also play against your strengths...could work out in some matches. I'm fine how things are right now though.
