I use commas to create the cadence of a verse. it doesn't have to be grammatically correct, it indicates where a reader should take a slight pause. if I create a flow that has a rhythm like this
a flow, like this is deceptive, fa sho, it can be very effective now when you write the sentence, A flow like this is deceptive. No comma should ever be used in between flow and like. but we aren't writing formalized sentences, we are creating verse. see the difference. rather shocking to me that this needs to be explained tbh |

So to me...flow is flow
and... a flow like this is deceptive, fa sho, it can be effective, Still rhymes, but I get you @Mike Wrecka Nothing wrong with a well placed coma for cadence.

Didn't want to make a comment because it may influence the contest, but it's humorous so I can't resist. Perhaps my story was not such a science-"fiction" after all? The word autoz00philia banned (not an offensive word? Just the term for that paraphilia). This discussion blackout is only the first step. Soon the government censors will be implementing their next stages against these individuals. All animal role-play enthusiasts beware. Also, it's puzzling how the same verse had the phrase 'pedophiles' and this phrase is allowed.

honestly tho u guys should just let anybody who's down participate in the playoffs. I appreciate the work y'all put in but to be reality this league has people signing in and out like crazy plus a certain percentage of no-shows so making a strict point based playoffs would lose participants and the potential for cool match-ups. Do w/e u want but if u have everyone from 0-8 records to 9-2 records playing say in a NBA style format u'll get more battles up more verses up and that's only good for the league imo also allows strong heads such as vulgar myself adonis cake etc to enter back and make a dope playoffs. Up 2 u niggas tho but u know that's trill talk

@Adonis - doooooope, you or @Buddha got any topics in mind?
I'm gonna brainstorm when I get home. And yeah, commas are a topical writers friend when it comes to helping the flow...I figured this out a long time ago.

Grammar Nazi's piss me off, mainly because Grammar is not something that is set in stone...all aspects of language are constantly evolving, as writers it is our duty to move forward with language not hold it and ourselves back by putting constraints on what is 'right' or 'proper' because it's nonsense...If people from 100 years ago saw how even the most educated of us use Grammar and language they would no doubt be horrified...because language moves on, and it is something that will happen whether we go along with it or not...so why constrain ourselves with what is 'Grammatically correct' at this moment in time?

Stopped reading if it affects how you could interpret the sentence (tenses, commas, etc) it's important to what you're reading. English is shitty, most are better... Look at Spanish. You could go back 800 years and still have basic comprehension of what's going on around you

Idk how you other guys feel about what NYC said but I don't think just anyone should be allowed in the playoffs. For those of us who worked our asses off this season and earned our spot it'd be a big slap right in the face to let anyone in.

I think there should be a minimum gateway record to compete
RIA had open signups, and most of the people that signed up w/out records did not show up, was basically a 2 round playoffs That said, I think we should aim for a competitive sized bracket that doesn't throttle entry.... Like, if we had 8 man playoffs, there would be at least one no show, and no one would wanna vote, even though dope battles would be going down If we had 24 man (pulled number out of my ass) to accomadate random dudes signing in, everyone would be interested, there would be a lot of no shows, and everyone would lose interest So @King Keith @Genocide we need to gauge interest and find out how many people are *actually* hungry for that title That may include people with no record, but obv people w/any sort of records WILL get priority both in seeding and in entry If tht means sacrificing my social life for a week or two in summer to get timely, quality mags, smooth rules, run up interest, etc i will do so RIP my post count
