GWL FINAL WEEK CHAT!

@Master Rock before I forget man I did base my verse this week on my relationship with my Dad. It's a factual piece been wanting to tell one like it all season I'm glad I got the opportunity

Damn you @Johnny 6 feet, for making these playoff rankings difficult for me now... ;)

So, um... yeah. Let me explain... lol

That topic was a difficult one. I immediately saw it and thought 'okay Windbreaker part 3 - Penguin's son's origin story...' but that felt redundant to me and the more I looked at it the more the topic was telling me it was about Overprotection and lack of control, how you can't safeguard against everything... so that's why I went down the road I did. I truly thought that relating plagiarism to kidnapping was a great metaphor... but maybe to rest my hat on that concept for an entire piece was a mistake... ugh.

I think Adverse nailed it saying that I got too ambitious with this one.. sorry guys, wish it was more competitive. I fucked up.

Congrats to Johnny on the KO... damn.

Like I said bro it wasn't a bad piece or topic it just had a lot of tiny moving parts and it didn't progress like your standard Uni piece, if it helps it took you 12 weeks to even almost drop the ball so you've done something right anyways throw this week and all others out they don't matter anymore it's playoffs time and everything is fair game. So many dope writers it'll be interesting to see what happens

@Johnny thanks for the recognition for being an "iron Man" I appreciate that I don't think anyone has voted for the pic challenge but I also don't think anyone has voted for Week 11's either so those are two things we need wrapped up

I appreciate the breakdown man. I definitely will focus more on storytelling going forward and leave the metaphorical approach behind.

And the seedings for #2, #3, and #4 slots are confusing because Adverse beat Johnny, I beat Adverse, then Johnny beat me... so it's sort of like we all deserve the #2 in a way lol... but Johnny will get it I believe. Lars at #1 if he signs in. Then I'm thinking myself at #3 and Addy at #4 (only because of the head-to-head results)

Fair?

Or should we reward longevity? Adverse does have a W over Johnny...

I'm fine wherever tbh I'm not too concerned with seeding
