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.

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

I disagree. I refuse to believe my writing is anything less than perfect...Lol but on the real I get upset when I'm voted against and ill look at some criticism and if I agree with it ill change it, if I don't I ain't changing shit lol.

Btw this weeks topic is kickin my ass.

YDK · 10-24-2013, 08:00 PM

King Ra. · 10-24-2013, 08:24 PM

symetrik · 10-24-2013, 08:30 PM

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

For future reference, I don't allow extensions.

Certain · 10-24-2013, 08:33 PM

@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 · 10-24-2013, 08:46 PM

Dropped. @Lexicon

Mike Wrecka · 10-24-2013, 08:56 PM

@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.

every fucking time lol. every week i just dumb shit down more.

Zen · 10-24-2013, 09:20 PM

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.

Same here man, a complex rhyme scheme isn't noticed but a mediocre one is told to be more complex, metaphors are missed but straight forwardness is told to use more metaphors. Tis a shame

PancakeBrah · 10-24-2013, 10:49 PM

'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 · 10-24-2013, 10:55 PM

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.

Split · 10-24-2013, 10:58 PM

I dont care for metaphor

Certain · 10-24-2013, 10:59 PM

I'm going to actually write tonight. But right now I'm giving a second listen to this:

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.
