Not true, Zenmaster. I honestly don't get upset at any votes against me nor even after a loss. If I do get upset, it's at myself for not writing my best when I could. But I hold no grudges against voters nor against opponents after I lose. I like the votes against me because I can take the criticism and use it to make my next drop better.

S'all about elevating, man. You the Zenmaster. You should know this!!!

[Split]

and it's true that the clouds just hung around, like black Cadillacs outside a funeral

[Certain]

I'd say I've probably been upset with half my losses in general. That's how I feel here, too. I still can't figure out what happened in my first loss.

[YDK]

@Certain You didn't get enough votes lol

[Mr. J]

2 votes down @Certain...I'm going to need that ext.



reality beckons

[King Ra.]

@Certain @symetrik going to need an extension.

[symetrik]

Oh, you posted in here. Hmm.
I'll allowed ext. this time, no biggy.

For future reference, I don't allow extensions.

[Certain]

@symetrik, this site's standard policy is extensions are automatically granted upon request. It took some getting used to for me, too.

Grimy, do not dig. Why not just deadline Friday, then?

However, you're good to go King Ra, mandatory or not. Good luck, bruv.

[Vulgar]

Dropped. @Lexicon

[Mike Wrecka]

@symetrik , if the dead line was Friday people would ask for an extension till Saturday.

the dead line was designed to make Friday the absolute latest a verse could be dropped.

the reward for two opponents dropping early is extra feed and votes. the battles that open first almost always receive the most votes.

Aight, I see it. Still, gross.
Ain't no brownie points for my opponents that be extending.

[Zen]

Extensions are necessary. My week has been shit and tbh the last thing I've felt like doing is writing. Tomorrow, on the extension day, I'll get some peace and quiet and finally be able to write. Lets never do colors again btw. I'm drawing blanks on this shit.

[PancakeBrah]

'Complex' metaphors that are complex just to be so are more of the problem. Most people writing here aren't that adept to pull it off. When it is done people respect it. I think people overrate their own ability to be deep.

[YDK]

I think every one here is perfectly capable of pulling off deep metaphors but picking up on metaphors within a metaphor is the area some are slacking in tbh. Or they're so quick to say something is too blunt without trying to look deeper.

Totally agree, I usually read the verses at least 3 times and end up picking up on new things, do the vote and then read the other people's and often realize I still missed some things.

Exactly man, I'm sure there have been a number of votes that may not have changed but atleast been fed better if everything was picked up on. Yes its the writers job to make it understandable but its the readers job to comprehend. Shakespeare didn't dumb shit down so ppl understood better which is why he wasn't as universally known then but is now thought of as one of the greats.
