@Adonis
alright first off dope verse, i was feeling how u juxtoposed sht, and also ur word choice was nice af. Flow was smooth n effortless and content maintained the same direction throughout. Easy clean read. now the only negatives i picked up on (to me) were, alot of time when u went to use the challenge u didn't do it consecutively, but with a conjunction or another word breaking them up, but u did do it correct a few times. Only other small thing was u go from 3rd person, to second person, to first person, then back to 3rd person. Now u do it in a way where its acceptable bc of its spacing and how it reads, but it would probably read a bit cleaner if u just kept the same tense imo. Solid verse though, i did enjoy it. |

Oh shit, you called me on my old habits. Yes, on phone so for the time being I will have remedial errors like you said. I'm a highschool drop out/ extremely late grad. And as for the not using consecutives. I did have a problem finding W words consecutive and not being forced. Serpent mentioned there are plenty of W words, and there are. But using them consecutively with a R word wasn't happening, and I refuse to force shit. I would rather not use any, and be able to rap on beat then use the excercise. But this will cause problems later.
Thanks to serpent and Ronald McD's tho you. You both truth

I placed my no show verse in the OM if anyone would like to drop some feed on it. I'll try and get some more votes out tomorrow, plenty of delicious writing on display. Great opening week gentlemen, the beginning of a promising league.

@Mike Wrecka, I noticed you're asking sign-ins for two votes, which is smart, but I think it might make sense to let them go this week since that requirement wasn't in the first post of the sign in thread.

So it's 6 days if having a topic up, and no line to distinguish between voting and writing? I feel like a lot of times people will postpone writing or submitting until their opponent is ready, resulting in a sort of stalemate. We can try anything you guys want, I've never experimented with this sort of format. It is worth a shot. As long as no- show wins count the same as regular wins, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. We should also encourage people to agree to set a drop time with their opponent and stick to it.

@Adonis cos I enjoy reading you from time to time when you do write here, I want to offer my thoughts on your piece. It may seem ridiculous seeing this week was an exercise, but voting helps me too.
first, I enjoyed our write night battle...been meaning to ask you, do you read scriptures? Quote:
thought your first 12 lines were great establishing lines to then shoot of into more development so to speak. You opened immediately into his political ties and leanings, now I understand this was to paint him an average Joe so to speak, but going that way to identify his world views, you really need to adhere to that and give the development to pay respects to it...you didn't. therefore it felt lazy and added just because. picking up on the 13th line and on you switch tense and use I for one line then abadoned it, it seemed fishy. I liked that, great way to continue if you obeyed the tense change. Also at the 13th line it would have been a good point to hit enter and start a new paragraph to stress the change, just me w/e. (to show examples and put this cat to the test) you continue to describe this person and how he lives and in his circumstances of negativity...which is counter culture, I get that, you set it up well in the first 12 lines...felt you should have stepped away, thought of a way to take this verse to allow this person to go through things that are a direct result of the attributes you gave him...otherwise you just kept on establishing his counter culture ways...which gave a picture of whom he may be but you did not test him in a way that we could see how he acted in the world he lives under the vibes you created for him...we need to use what you described him and as readers see how he goes about so we can conculde outside of what you say..this is a written divice. the last two lines were broken into a new paragraph. to ask a rethorical question, why ? you knew it's to start a new theme and develop. All in all you should have gave situational examples of this cat, as it stood it was incomplete I realize this was just an exercise so whatever.... just a thought...good verse @Nigma If I had to predict someone to write a tounge twister with there letter assiagment this week, I would have chosen you. YOu did not disappoint: Quote:
Quote:
Most of this took place in a cave. If you say no, well yes I disagree lol. I read this slow and loved the opening. the wording was fun and fluid with a attention to word placements coupled with your assignment, made this witty and sensical. Toward the middle half and working to the close I felt you went S&F mode and preiceved you compelled to stray from your opening ideas...hush's lisp lol It was toward this point I did not care, because from a language preservative this was beautiful and offered some colors and sounds. make no mistake, I'll have to surly keep my eye on your next weeks verse...may sign back in for this good show @oats- I see you. @Mr. J mentioning Keith Sweat in the opening was a risk, because some don't know what/who that is...I didn't so I rolled with it anyways, already at a disadvantage. I know right. Cearful with openings...they must be very clear... Quote:

@Mike Wrecka in contrast to nigma and Mr. J your short fluid verse had a purpose and a reason, which oyu started and ended with not only lingering thoughts but some conditions relative to your world view thrown in...I liked this for a few reasons: it was short, not going on past what you wanted to say, and your letter assignments were smooth and natural to what you say. and mostly, you were unbiased and not casting judgment on the context and concepts your wrote in...props for doing that. Casting judgment in verses of this type are what cripples it. some lines I liked Quote:

Quote:
to add some critique or suggestions would to bleed some cause into this to explain the effect it has...otherwise it's ambiguous and we use our understanding to explain away the conditions you set...though not bad, but if you would have done this there is chance to leave a lasting impression of new insight that the reader may have not have him/her self... good drop dude for real..tight compact and coherent. @Plot was surprised at why I enjoyed your verse...it was unique to me in thta you explored what may be on the mind of some competitor in some league that may not be what it seems on the surface, riddled underneath with arbitrary and bullshit that you need to rise up over...I never seen this before in a verse and give real props to ya for exploring it out.... these lines were dope Quote:
in fact, this verse is a silent bomb man...lots of raw stuff in here Quote:
