The Open Mic is opening a random weekly cypher competition, called 'Write week'. The thought that goes into an in-depth piece of non-battling writing is different than a keyed cypher, and we're taking that into account.

On random Wednesday mornings a mod will create a 'Write Week' open cypher as a sticky in the Open Mic forum, along with an announcement in Discussion to alert anyone interested in participating. The original post of the cypher will contain a single subject to be written about. The subject can be anything from a single word, a sentence, a quote, or a picture. As this is an open cypher, anyone can post one verse at a maximum of 16 lines. The timeframe for dropping your verse will be from Wednesday morning (topic creation) until midnight Eastern, Thursday night. After the deadline, a rotating panel of 5 respected Open Mic writers and/or feeders will come to a majority decision as to which writer had the best verse. The results of the panel will come no later than Monday morning, and the winner of the cypher will receive an accomplishment. The first couple of runs will be through this panel in case of a lack of activity; if this becomes as popular as Fight Nights are for battlers the mod team will consider switching to the participants voting (obviously you can't vote for yourself). The panel will vote on the following criteria; Original Content, Flow, Rhyme Complexity, and Relation to the Subject.

The Open Mic forum has spiked in activity lately and the admin/mod team thinks this will only increase that activity. The cypher topic is one of the best on the site, and this will give members incentive to write and gain recognition within the site. For too long the consistently active Open Mic section has been underrepresented in terms of the level of quality on this site, and this is a real chance to prove that the topical and open mic talent here on Netcees is on an equal playing field as the battlers. Beef up your e-resume and enjoy a different kind of competitive text.

Although the plan is to post these early Wednesday morning, we want to get this going so I'm posting a topic in Open Mic now. The deadline for entries will be extended to Midnight, Friday to compensate.
