I’ll try to vote soon as well if not this afternoon then tomorrow for sure. Unfortunately I have to work the whole weekend

I'll probably voluntarily step out if I don't vote on anything going to try to vote some when I get back home we are having a puppy reunion with swimming there was 9 puppies in his litter so hopefully they all show up ! we got at least 5 confirmed

can I vote?

That would be a shame. Just try to get some votes in. Even if they are half assed, it’s better than not voting at all.

OK that sounds amazing.

Of course! Please do.

all 9 puppies showed up, pretty cool to see them grown up.

@Dominate I appreciate you asking if I will be returning, but sadly my schedule is relentless. I don’t think I’ll have time.

Voting tonight

@Eviction: "I do like the ending it just seems abrubt and unfinished to me." 100% agree, the 40 line limit kinda killed it and felt like I had to end it asap.

Yeah man

WEEK SEVEN WHEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT

YOOOO, Y'all are fucking SLEEPING on @NYCSPITZ and @Frank's battle. If their battle don't inspire you to write the best shit you've ever written in the upcoming week, I don't know what will. That shit got insane quality to it and I bet @Universe will enjoy the shit out of it, too and perhaps inspire him to sign back in.

@Adverse: If week 7 went to shit it was all worth it for the contenders battle alone, that shit was FIRE!

Gratitude brother

I don't have the time...just look at my half ass verse I dropped. Quit being scared!

I’ll be voting this afternoon if anyone else can get to the open battles that would be great

I'm voting today I promise.

Yo Dom, great verse this week bro! It was it was so funny it made me laugh out loud bro! Man I swear if me and you get into a battle again I hope that I give you my full effort cuz this is the second time that I don't give you everything I got. After June 15 the my time is opening up while I have more time to actually write some verses with more than 30 or 40 minutes to spare. I'll still be here next week and to the end I'm going to cruise it out even though I know that I'm busy as can be I'm still doing it for the love.

I don’t have the time to write 40 line verses anymore and tbh I find them a chore to read.

I’d be all for a 20 line man poem tourney and I bet a lot more people would come out of the wood work for that. Something to think about

Gonna try to wrap this up tonight regardless. It’ll be a week tomorrow since battles went up way too much time

I mean 40 is just the maximum you can drop 20s all you like my man

But I feel you, people are on either side of the argument some people think 20 is great and some people think 20 is nowhere near enough depends who you are I guess

This is it! There's a couple writers on here that writes 20 line verses and gets to the champ match positions. It's all about what you do with those 20 lines that matters and how you flip it.

Adonis, Timeless and Mr. J to name a few. Mr. J has also champed AOWL in the past, so there's really no reason to think you're limited to write max. And 5-10 minutes extra combined to read the max limit from both battlers that have spent 20x the time to write isn't really that much. You can read that stuff while taking a shit and get back to voting later on if that doesn't do it. You don't have to go all out with the voting like I/others tend to do, that's optional as well. Nothing but excuses if you ask me, 20 lines has been complained about in the past. I can understand 60 being too much for some but 40 is a good balance imo and you can still come correct with 20 if that's what you feel like writing.

@Mike Wrecka: Just read your vote on the Frank vs NYCSPITZ battle, you got NOTHING to apologize for. That's a solid example for an average vote with great reasonings as to why you voted the way you did. It doesn't have to be more than what you put down here, good stuff.
