@Pinot Grij vs @CopyPat would make for a fun battle

I'd love to have a match against Sinacog. I went to his thread and asked him why he wrote the way he wrote. Why he was completely ignoring criticism and making no attempt to improve, and I got a textful of abuse in return. Real cerebral, nuanced insults too. Also, he seems to think he could beat me.

It would be the toughest battle of my entire 20+ year cyphering career I'm sure. But I think, if I work really hard, I've got a chance against him.

No chance

lol.

for the league, yeah. but what if he wants to put a topical battle in the BA and we link & mention it in the next mag?

Lol I meant he has no chance of beating the cog

hahaha

Please Inno, my self-esteem is an eggshell and you're stomping on it. I know I'm just a greenhorn and he's a respected vet and everything, and I know my knowledge of Dragons is nowhere near as in-depth as his encyclopaedic wisdom, but if I work really hard I believe I might be able to touch those Olympian heights... someday.

This is my dream. Don't tread on my dream. :(

Lmao

Lol. In all seriousness the most I've been able to get out of him is 'lmao faggot cunt bitch'. Read the back and forth if you're really interested. I'd challenge him to a topical (or hell even a regular battle even though I barely ever do that) but, as I said in that thread, it'd be like playing chess against a pigeon; all it does is knock over the pieces, shit on the board and fly away thinking it's won.

Almost done with my piece. Took a risk and told a true story this time (no dragons sadly). How's everyone else getting on? Making marvellous, erection inducting art I hope?

I know him from another site. A member there told me that he changed completely after a loss to someone at some annual event thing. He’s usually browsing his old work over there lul

@Adverse I'm just about finished but I'm 2 lines over. Is that cool? I can edit if you want.

EDIT- Nvm. Think I'm gonna cut them anyway.

If you need to keep them go ahead bro it won’t bother me

Thanks. I'm sitting on the fence with them atm though. 2nd draft seems to be shorthand for - 'second guess everything I wrote because I'm worried it might be shit'.

i swear, if your story doesn't have any cowboys, i'm totally not voting for you

Well... shit.

i'm probably one of them but not for biting reasons, just curious about some of the names floating around the league lulz, and i'd like to give this verse its flower

@Vulgar wow! that was such a great fucking verse my man! awesome.

Don’t worry I haven’t started shit bc I been busy af the last few days so don’t feel bad

I’ve struggled this week not to lie, but it’s finally coming along alright now. Don’t know if it’s my extra workload or just having a lot on my mind. I’ve had fun this season but glad we’re getting to the home stretch

@Adverse dude I had 2 or 3 weeks there where I was on point and these last couple weeks have been like pulling teeth for not only creativity, but just writing in itself. It’s frustrating when you know you got some talent only to realize it’s inconsistent. @Clutbuck is way ahead of me in his process so I’m gonna have to conjure up something fast. Been back at it with school and apprenticing every day for what I wanna do so by the time I get home I’m mentally drained. Wish me luck lol

@Bodey good luck! I know your pain no doubt you’ll put up something dope
@Johnny 6 feet I will be posting tonight sir

No worries. Looking forward to it.

Come on Inno, you know better

Lol you got me bro. Technically there’s no rule on recycling but your right lol

If you really want to put it up for votes I'll delete my comment.
I just don't think it's in a good spirit of competition.

Nah man you caught me recycling I’ll own up to it and take the L this week.

I reluctantly voted for that verse lol knew I'd seen it before.

I'd still be interested on people's opinions of me using the pic as a tornado. Maybe some1 will drop feed

I’ll give it some love I’m the mag

Haha! Come on @Inno :)

There's no rules anywhere besides in the battle threads themselves and all that's got is a due date and line limit.

Can we get a definitive rules thread? Rules on going over line limits, extensions, recycling, how many votes for a win, for a KO, and so on?

@Clutbuck you win @Adverse sign me out

Sorry I just don’t have time to write right now

Can you at least leave me feedback then on my verse, please?

Well damn, we've got one DQ and 2 no shows in a week with 4 battles including the champ match?

:/

somebody light up "V" signal.
@Vulgar

I'll drop feedback on it tonight for you.

Yep, topical writers are sprinters not marathon runners, always start out strong but are gassed before the finish line.

well played.

I'll drop feedback tonight as well.

Any ideas for Vulgar's superpower?

Not me. I show every week, on time, without recycling. :-)

No, not you. But I think you've been around long enough to know you're the exception more than the rule. And the fact that you've consistently been dropping now for basically 20 years shows how dedicated to this you are. Most people don't stick around for nearly that long.

Damn. That sucks Bodey but it's understandable
@sraL if you want to vote on my battle you're more than welcome to, votes are going to be hard to come by these last few weeks I have a feeling

I was going to, but then I realised the winner inevitably faces me now, so maybe it’s advisable not to court any further controversy by doing so? I’ve turned over a new leaf. I’m playing nice.

I might leave you both feed on your verses in a reply but not cast a decision either way. Sound good?
