@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.

:/
