@YDK I'm pretty much done with my verse, so let me know where your at with your own, so we can post sooner than later.

I haven't even started yet man but I'll try an get started tonight possibly finish it. I usually don't take more than an hour or two to write once I sit down and get started

Too many complaints from people who don't compete

I really like the cypher thread idea, it'll also help me because when I write I tend to write more than less, and I don't really like to throw away what I've already written, so this will help me by using up the material elsewhere.

I like pre-selected topics and I also like choosing your own topic just like the Poetry league. For the latter I cannot say people will not have preconceived verses already written. I myself have never done that, per se, but I have had ideas in my head of a story that I wanted to create, but hadn't. And, when I see a topic that I can put into form the story my human inclination is to go for it, due to interest in the actual topic. I also have seen this is the case with pre-selected topics, where its obvious writers have been brewing a story in their hearts for a while, and once they get the right topic, they go with it. Sometimes, some writers disregard the topic and just write whatever, and I think in those cases it is more likely they might have something up their sleeve for a while. This is the problem with abstract verses, I feel, where writers make the slightest connections with topics just to justify their verses.
For the most part, I like to write something that is completely new because it's more challenging and sharpens my pen. But, from what I've seen most don't do it each and every time. Few do, @Certain, Zygote, Vulgar, and others. And by new, I mean something where one had no notions of it whatsoever. This is why choosing the right topics is essential because topics like the holocaust, or whatever else, people already have an opinion, a view, and a direction. And so they are less likely to do something completely foreign.
I am relatively new at this topical thing, less than a year in fact, but I have read a lot of topicals during this time, and I got to say again, very few write something completely out the box every time. And I don't think this is bad, point is I think the choose your own topic thread is a good option.

You gonna show right

Lol, yeah I imagine that could be frustrating. I also sometimes think that moderators are not appreciated enough. I mean they are doing this for the love of it and so they should be acknowledged every so often. Competitors too, they are an essential key, but moderators are a bigger key because, without them, it all becomes too uninspiring. In split's case, I felt there was too much blame game going on. Albeit, when a moderator falls off it has to be pointed out, but perhaps we could do it in a way that is less condescending.

I do hope Frank shows, if not it's going to be hilarious.

If everyone drops Monday instead of Tuesday I may...


tbh I haven't even started writing...so you're safe until then :)

wuduup

be in your neck of the woods in a few weeks broseph

man that's wudup. will be sick to kick some off the top with you. November u said?

right no problem but I realize I own both accounts but don't they refer to different records? cause theyre two different tnames.........its okay if they don't becuz I don't figure im going to use the ribbit account for a while.......

also......is there anyway I could get a name change from 2tripple0 to 2triple0 that would be great.....

and finally last but not least I dropped my verse for this week if anyone trying to peep it. timeless when do u think u will drop?

you sure do complain a lot...

lol if I didn't I don't think this league would run haphazardly without my comments

lmao, why would it being a different name make a difference?

:/

@Diode

Help that mofo out. It's like the sixth time he has asked.

lol not sure its just its from two different user names both of them are my account but if im online on the ribbit account doesn't that mean that anything that happens under that account applies to the "ribbit" account instead of everything I do on the "ribbit" account making a different to the "2triple0" account if you get what im saying... if not don't worry about it just thought it would make a difference

It really makes no difference at all.

LOL

I mean, they're both you.

If I rob a bank & get caught wearing a Baron Mynd mask, does Baron Mynd do the time?

How do ya'll feel about mandatory check in's??

What's the point of a check in? If your opponent doesn't show then oh well, you still know you wrote a dope verse that week.


BTW, first battle of week open for votes fuckas

I'm very lazy when it comes to writing. So, for me, someone not checking in & me knowing I can just chill that week is dope. Also, I don't like taking the time out to write a verse, post it on the day the battle is due, and get no showed. It's kind of uninspiring knowing my time was wasted.

:/

How many weeks are left for this? After I sweep through the OMs I'll try and get some votes in for this too.

4 weeks left before play offs.

We address this in the super mag!

http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=120918

You think a lot of yourself to have a "super" mag don't you? :D

Fuck it I might join just to get in production of some stuff.

So you only write for the competition? Not for your love of writing? That seems pretty wack tbh. I thought we were all here cuz we enjoy writing. Who cares if u get no showed?

That's time I could've spent doing something else.

Mandatory check ins are a bad idea tbh

what part of "a few weeks" = November?

haha.


First week of October, arrive on the 5th to be exact but busy that day


I also must admit, while I was once heavy into freestyling I am not active any more. In my hay day I was quite good, and I'm sure i'm at least average now.

No pre-writtens ever though. True artist

Dropped @Godcomplex

Well two expected double no shows and a frank no show no one's surprised by, good looks on everyone else for dropping

good luck timeless

@Diode ain't ever gon'change your name.

Ever think about making a new account, without the 2 P's?

You can have a fresh new record for the league

This just in. Frank has shown.

He just needed an extra day because a week isnt long enough to write a response to my key.

Glad we take rules seriously here phaha

YO ADONIS NOT AROUND TO HANDLE THIS, BUT SURELY YOU WOUOLD RATHER THE MATCH WENT TO VOTES AND YOU GOT FEEDBACK ON YOUR SHIT RATHER THAN TAKE THE NS WIN?

I MEAN, IT'S FRANK, FOR ALL HIS FAULTS HE'S A TOP TIER TALENT!

PLUS IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE LEAGUE TO HAVE ANOTHER MATCH OPEN FOR VOTES, AND TO HAVE YOU BOTH MEET YOUR VOTING REQUIREMENTS?

ULTIMATELY IT'S YOUR CALL, BUT THAT'S MY WORD ON IT

LEMME KNOW ASAP!

i'm gonna write some reviews on the verses in/battles open for the mag

no-showed threads have been moved

awaiting @Flo Real word on what to do with the frank battle

Haha course i didnt want a ns win just wanting to let frank know it didnt go unnoticed how he needed an extra day to write against a key lol @sraL

Im just playing the role of cunt today :)

he did it to me last week lol

i dont care though

i almost always post first in battles

i write a lot quicker than most

theres a few heads here who can write super quick @Mr. J is dope for that @CopyPat and prob @timeless i'd say

all dudes bring dope ish on little to no time

lmao so i screwed up on moving the Jshazo battle the fuck out of the way

i've no idea how to recify that

for now, it will have to remain there until adonis returns lol

I DESERVE AN A FOR EFFORT THOUGH!

^^^ lol at A for effort

ill be voting tomorrow or later tonight depending on if im busy or not
