I can see why though, these 2 showed out this week. dropping some serious verses that took the picture to a whole new image if that makes sense. Uni seems like he will continue his saga until seasons end and this was a continuation of last weeks entry. took a dark turn and led us down a wicked road of incest and abuse. he did an excellent job blending in last weeks events to this weeks. while scar took a different approach to the topic. telling a tale of a man day dreaming and falling in and out of sleep. in the end doing what most of us do when we have an intense dream, forget most of it lol. dope dope dope from both cats tbh. for my taste it could of gone either way but the voters in the end decided that scar had the better showing. personally I thought UNI won by a hair but that's just my opinion. great read great battle gentlemen! The noise of Spring. strolling the antiquated avenue, he sees a clinic poster pleading how “You can help fight cancer too!” A valiant pursuit, with a little girl’s portrait serving as the voice of sickness A couple shops down, a vintage toy store full of boyhood wishes Star Wars memorabilia, Luke, Han, Star Destroyer stickers He enjoyed the brisk walk; The ambiance and all the stories with it across the street, a middle-aged couple engaged in dinner for two Some kind of fish dish at a sickly overstated avenue Pretentious decor; Dancing pyre professing “classy” perfection The gentleman wore a pale face with eyes of glassy inflection Next door, a book shop. Used properties as pages were fold Front and center, an aging relic, Virginia’s “Room of One's Own” By his feet, a newspaper rustle and flap to the placid spring wind The Headline: Man obsessed with sister, held for psychiatric remission - scar We waited there for ages, then the conversation steered our way So we rushed up into the kitchen and hid behind our Parents legs I asked, "Uncle Ben, can you stay?" Hoping it would become our way out But he just looked away and placed a loaded gun in his mouth Mother shouted "Benjamin... don't!" But I knew it was the last straw After I saw Uncle Ben blow his brains out all over the back wall The last thought from a cracked skull-- "Then what happened?" The Therapist asked The pistol was stashed and we were dragged back to our inherited trap Then rapid knocks on the door upstairs, followed by "Police, open up!" I heard a scuffle above, a scream of "Freeze!" then "Both are cuffed." A Dark Figure in the light crept toward us... I thought this was it But it was just a Cop... then he said "Oh my God... it's the kids...." - Universe Contenders Match: Bodey vs Adverse first time reading both. didn't get a chance to vote as by the time I tried it was already 5-0 and needed to close the battle. anyway, Adverse man this was well woven tale with great imagery to go along. the pacing is beautiful in my opinion. it progressed smoothly and the story unfolded nicely for me. honestly wasn't expecting the cannibal aspect of the story. shows dope creativity towards the topic which wasn't an easy one. thought the ending was good too. don't know why people are saying this was subpar I thought it was crafted nicely. meanwhile bodey comes in with another hot take! man this was some great story telling right here. the pacing was outstanding from start to finish. another cool way to take the topic in tbh. I didn't see that coming at all. this was a fucking close close battle. both should take pride in writing a 50 line narrative like PA said, its not an easy task and you both made it look easy. the votes say bodey won easily but tbh this was a tie in my eyes. both dropped some amazing stories. I think bodey edged ad because her story had some subtle details that made it that much better. I think her foreshadowing the end was dope as fuck. great match fellas. Red and yellow flames accented by our growing pyramid, six cans of Heniken Vicky sat next to me staring, i shot back some awkward glances her way She softly snickered and gently placed her hand on my leg Dave starts spouting out campfire stories about apparitions and bad intentions And I just laugh lightly, critiquing how all his narratives were badly written Thought I felt Vicky tremble as she tightened her grip on my thigh I looked to her ocean eyes only to drown in them, her innocence died I felt a rush of wind hit my face as she raised her fist to the sky She swung it down in an instance, my face spat out a grimace and cry As i looked down just in time to see her shove that syringe in my side - Adverse This was probably the last time we would live in the moment And it’s not until you grow up that you wished you had known it Giggling maniacally, we stepped inside. It smelled like mothball-flavored gasoline, with beat-up softballs, faded magazines, glass Coke bottles, crates of flags and beans, yellow neckerchiefs with a couple badges seamed. Scraps of sunburned newspaper blew around the floor I picked one up, and I nearly vomited my food from the night before It read that all three of our bodies were discovered off a beach ravine But even more importantly, the article dated back to 1919 I read on, and tears began to swell and my body seemed to teeter Investigators proved that we’d been killed by our Cub Scout leader - Bodey dead man vs Pharaohs army PA took a chance with the Alphabet format he chose to write in. although his story telling didn't get effected by it at all. it could of been a distraction but he did a good job focusing the reader to the story. he did an excellent job with describing the picture to a T. captured the colors and the somber way they drenched the pic. well done. only gripe I got is the story only scratched the surface, like tim is going through a divorce cool...but why? and how does that tie in to the picture? some questions I have. what can I say about dead man that hasn't been said? this shit was trash lol jk. anyway your wording and by default your phrasing is just out of this world man. that's the shining beacon in this verse. not the only one either I mean the story telling is strong in this one. you had subtle hints through out the piece that needed a second read, in a good way though. im getting a religious type of vibe to this when you mentioned them asking you to leave in 48 hour and all that. the dark tone contrasting the colorful picture was another great aspect to the verse and you made it seamless. honestly I would of gave this to dead man as the whole ABC thing PA did didn't really hinder his piece but it didn't really add anything tbh. so it would come down to preference for me. in the end PA slides off with the W. great read thanks fellas! Inevitably, they will all land. Hobbyists high above the earth. Jury’s still out on which balloon will land first. Knapsack. On Uncle Tim’s back. Full of the day’s supplies. Lighter than the air outside of a balloon, is the heated inside. Mossy rocks dot the landscape. Tim’s mind off the messy divorce. Niece Janet has heard the story before. “Couldn’t get along”. But she still likes her Aunt. Over the horizon some of the balloons disappear. Tim rocks a fedora hat. Pictures are worth a thousand words so he takes another. Quite a spectacle. Every balloon is a different color. Rising higher. None have begun their descent. Special days like these are hard to come by. Janet feels bad for her Uncle. She knows how hard it can get. - Pharaohs army may we pass on peaceful when our ascension collapses reenacting folklore in our icarus masks any pressure and depressiveness a thing of the past They said it was time. we echoed it back. slow mutation our collective inertia, virgin rebirth a void to fill with homily and letter and verse gospel of Death. the Call came when our daughter was 7 we had 48 hours to either launch or defect and we left. the Voices called behind us. haunting as ever is it worse to die as one or outlive all of your friends? - dead man Ender vs Sinacog the cog is either going to self implode or come to the realization that now one is buying this shit by now. honestly started reading this verse and thought. ok its got the same themes of a cog verse but hes making some sense and keeping some semblance of a story. I should of known. then come the I am this I am that with repeated phrases to drive home a point no one gets tbh. great suggestion by Universe tbf bye week is fitting. ender my guy! I didn't realize you've been around for a long time lol. anyway this was cool story and dope take of the topic. and unexpected turn given the picture, very creative. like V said the passing in this piece and most of your pieces tbh is top notch stuff. I think what hinders ender from connecting more is that most of his tales read like an introduction something grander, don't know if that makes sense. like, you scratch the surface to give us just enough details to keep the reader engaged. I think once ender takes that next step in his story telling he can easily champ any league. not this week though! There was once' a demon from the oceans' of parallel The oceans' of parallel; the oceans' of water from author The devil was inside of a book; inside of chapter 666 The sinning sin; the resentment in testament sin The devil lived inside a book for a billion years The chameleon with the sincerity of seer/sear - Sinacog Endless malaise, feel like I've always been in this haze Pressed in a maze, until in a blaze HE arrived at the bar He's a shining star, bringing light I've been deprived so far I felt revived like I'd died and he shocked me to life Stopped my strife and all we'd done was locked eyes Then I decide to try to go and chat with the guy Ohh but why, I'm in front of him and suddenly shy Praying to die because now I can't seem to speak Humiliatingly weak, silent, but clearly an extreme freak Entropy will keep me from breaking out of this funk Like a punk I start to turn away, quaking like a drunk Except he talked to me first, like we were old mates States "Come on, you need to remember we control our fates" - Ender Inno vs Candy ok so I was trying to convey not necessary human natures perception of it self. but mainly the perceptionwe give ourselves based off human nature. if that makes any fucking sense. in hindsight I should spent more time fleshing out idea through out the verse instead of leaving it to the last few lines. enough about me though. candy had a dope dope piece which upon first read seems like a jumble of tongue twist and words. on second read you catch what he/she is trying convey. the gloom and despair are well represented in this piece. and like PA said this was candy at his/her very best. less whimsical with the phrasing which made them impact in a different manner. honestly after re reading candies verse I would of gave it him/her? candy what are you so I can stop using he/she references lol. anyway thanks to candy for a dope showing to bad he/she signed out lol. i dare dance with the devil on this ailed moonlight where all that is left from help is frail groomed life i cant stand it, sit or even breathe near that ish so i waddle to the window of the story, make a wish blow the streets below a kiss and swan dive into this the undoubtable abyss - Candy And all we do is consume it With an insatiable hubris it’s nothing to prove it We project to each other what we wish to be But in the dark keep secretes for no one to see The world is torn and lost in translation A fruit fallen to far from its roots Stuck in the dirt reaching for constellations - Inno WEEK 7: PREVIEWS! By: Adverse Welcome welcome to all as we try and glimpse into the future with the GWL PREDICTIONS (I need to go back and count how many I've predicted right thus far in the season, probably like 15%) anyways let's get right to it. CHAMP MATCH: @Scar vs @Bodey I think this matchup kind of breaks the mold. The competitiors thus far in the champ matches have been fairly predictable names that we expected to see duking it out for the belt sooner or later (Universe,Clutbuck etc.) So this is a breath of fresh air and both are super deserving. Bodey has bounced back strong from a slow start to the season and has picked up some quality wins in the last few weeks over myself, Blue Bayou and Ender. She's definitely carrying momentum coming into this one but on the other side of the ring Scar is cut from the same cloth standing at an undefeated 4-0 record and taking down quality opponents such as Universe, and Inno. He definitely is riding much of the same wave as Bodey is. Nobody to this point has defended the champ belt this season and we've had a couple one and done champs. Though this week will be close I'm picking Scar as the first to repeat as champ, it won't be easy but he's done nothing but surpass expectations thus far and i figure this week will be much of the same. SCAR WINS 60/40 CONTENDERS: @Inno vs @Ender I'm not overly hyped about this one I'm going to be completely honest here. Ender has proven to be a solid writer but has had a sort of inconsistent season, his two wins coming as result of a Sinacog cake walk and a Slecht no-show. He has showed sparks of being a decent enough writer but from the sample size we've got he pales in comparison to his opponent, Inno who is a veteran. I like Ender as a person and writer but just feel like he's completely outmatched here and don't know if he'll be able to overcome that. INNO WINS 85/15 @Universe vs @Clutbuck I wasn't expecting to see this rematch so soon. Just two weeks ago they faced off in the most scandal filled champion matches the GWL has seen. The drama included a confusion of topics, and screenshots of fake text conversations. The narrative is definitely here for a memorable battle and both have a lot to prove trying to bounce back from their respective championship losses. I feel like this battle will tread familiar ground with Universe edging it out, hopefully with considerably less drama this time. UNIVERSE WINS 55/45 @Elfo vs @Ouch I find this one interesting as neither has much of a writing history on site to go off. Ouch definitely has stories to tell as seen in his threads the 'Discussion' forum. Elfo is a new face who signed in with the wave of newcomers from last week and is probably looking to make a good impression. Has potential to be a fun battle, I don't know much about either of their writing skill so I'm going to label this one a toss-up. Good luck fellas! @Blue Bayou vs @NoetiC Blue really showed out in the last GWL battle he was win losing a tough battle to Bodey. He's one of the best text battlers in site history and has showed an increasing interest in improving his topical skills, looking to become a Jack of all trades. He's already a proven threat. NoetiC has been looking to make a splash, posting some content and has some potential to be a good writer but I think he'll drop his debut match to BB here. BLUE BAYOU WINS 60/40 [u @Sinacog vs @Headless Verseman[/u] Sinacog's gimmick has grown a little redundant. He shows no awareness for his topic, writes a quick verse that is posted before most the other writers check in, and then is gone with the wind. I thought he might prove to be a decent topical writer but has time and time again proved he's not willing to change in the slightest. Headless Verseman is a new cat who i assume ventures onto Netcees from UPN with the rest of the other new names? Could be wrong. Haven't seen any material from him but at this point whether it be Headless Verseman, a headless chicken or a head of lettuce. Sinacog will take the L. VERSEMAN WINS 99.9/00.1 @Johnny 6 feet vs @Artifice Johnny is a new cat on Netcees but from what I can make out from his posts, he's far from a rookie. As for Artifice he has on site history, but has some rust to shake off after not writing in a long time. This one may end up being really close, I'm going to lean towards Art since I've witnessed him prove his writing. Good luck fellas! ART WINS 52/48 [u @Vulgar vs @Pharaohs Army[/u] Shouts to Vulgar for filling in as a replacement for Candy signing out late. This should be a good match from two open mic mainstays who have proved themselves countless times. Vulgar has yet to sign into the GWL but has champed the pic challenge on a couple ocassions. Pharaoh is coming off a huge win over dead man last week which may help swing the momentum his way. I'm not sure, this one will be super close. SPLIT 50/50 @Adverse vs @dead man Anybody have a crossroad demon's number handy? Lol I'm going to have to bring it all this week to measure up to the prolific dead man, it'll take hearts, guts and maybe a little dark magic idk. Either way I'm looking to get back to form this week, it's going to be a lot of fun. im gonna enjoy the shit out of this one. both are season writers capable of dropping some fire! we all know dead man is a beast and although he lost last week I don't see him losing twice in a row. adverse has been on a down spin but I honestly think its just voter preference, nothing do do with his writing slipping. hes got alot to prove now as he goes up against a perennial favorite. but as PA proved last week dead man can be beat. ad will have to come with his A+ game to take this from DM. I still think this will be close and I got adverse with the upset here 55/45 - Inno That's all I've got this week everyone, super excited at the prospect of all these new names signing up we're just past midseason and the competition is only going to get fiercer. Have a good week and one love y'all. Week 7 Interview FT: Scar & Bodey
By: Adverse Hello Miss Bodey, Congratulations are due first of all on reaching the champ match. You lost a couple close matches to start the season but bounced back hard, what do you attribute that success to? When the quarantine went down, I didn't really have the regular distractions I normally had, like working over 40 hours a week and dog-sitting and doing school. Which is probably why whenever I did post on here, it was some half-assed shit I typed up out of boredom. Too much downtime isn't good for an emotional person like me, and it had to have come from repressed feelings and situational things like having to move in the middle of this pandemic I think. When there's no one else around to bounce ideas off of, all you have is yourself and self-reflection, and sometimes those thoughts can put you in a dark place, which is honestly where my best writing comes from. I know you were in an audio league/tourney? A long time ago as I've heard the tracks from it. Is this the first text competition you've competed in? Yes, I never really thought I was good enough to be in these leagues on here because there's so many talented writers that I knew I couldn't touch. So I guess I just never bothered. Plus, I posted things in the open mic threads years ago that had been harshly criticized, for good reason, but there was some feedback in those posts that basically said I was a terrible writer, and instead of using that as motivation, I took a break from writing for awhile. Who are a couple of your favorite writers on Netcees? And then to be broader, a couple of your favorite writers in general? I've always enjoyed @Vulgar, @dead man AKA black, @Witty. @big baby even though he didn't think much of my shit. Their posts have always grabbed my attention. @CopyPat, there's a lot of others I'm missing on here, but their writing is special to me. As far as writers go, I always liked Augusten Burroughs' shit. He has a way of making you feel like you're experiencing his pain with him. Your writings often have a beautiful imagery about them, and a personal touch has been a trademark as well. Where do you draw inspiration from to write? Is it life experiences, things you see around you? Or do you just conjure up these scenes without having to think too hard? I think all of us as writers incorporate a little bit of ourselves and experiences into our writings. The post I had about the girl cheating on me with a mutual friend was actually completely true, minus some details that would've complicated the verse had I added them. The one from last week was inspired from Stephen King's "The Body" (which I believe someone actually asked me if I was inspired by his work) and also combined with my own childhood growing up in Massachusetts riding bikes and getting into trouble in the woods and trespassing property, that sort of thing. This league has been an absolute dogfight, with the title changing hands 3 different times in just as many weeks. What sets you apart? How do you plan to win the belt and subsequently keep it? Ha, I honestly don't know. I think that's what makes competitions like this interesting, because someone that starts out as the underdog can inevitably take the win when everyone else least expects it, if they're truly hearing out the constructive criticism from their readers. My problem is procrastination, I never use the whole week, it's always the whole last day before deadline, it's a terrible habit and I suggest it to no one. Any last words you'd like to say before we wrap-up? Just that I love how a lot of people in this competition seemed to have grown in their own writing abilities in the last couple weeks. You can tell when people are stepping out of their comfort zones and writing something that means more than the last from the week before. [B]Interview With Scar[/B] Congratulations are due, you took down Universe last week in order to claim the GWL belt. I think when the last two champs won (Lars, Uni) it wasn't real surprising because they're household names on the site. You seemingly came out of nowhere and climbed up the ranks rather quickly. Were you expecting such a fast ascent? Thank you, bro, i appreciate it. I didn’t expect anything, and definitely did not expect to beat Universe in a champ match (which i still feel its alot closer than indicated by the votes). Its a fun ride though. I honestly signed up for feedback lulz. I think its a cultural thing because i see the same kind of attitude at other sites where if your new or you aren’t as seasoned or if you’re just of amlow or mediocre tier writer, you don’t always get the feedback (good or bad) that you need to help with development. So i figure you know what if i join a league, they have no choice but to give me feedback lulz. So I did. I’ve gotten so many feedbacks, since, that i’ve used to shape a lot of my current stuff. Think i ask everyone I interview this but, who are a couple of your favorite writers on this site, and then off of the site as well? The whole site, i’d say Big Baby is my fav. When i read his stuff, its the epitome of “theres levels to this” lulz. He reminds me of a monk, he comes down, drop some holy scriptures, then disappears back into the mountains for weeks on end. Lars is a fav of mine here and over at RR. The way his dictions comes off so naturally without compromising the technical component is fucking nuts. It really is. Then there's Dead Man because, I swear, one of his lines are sometimes better than people’s whole verse. Like wtf. Universe is also a fav, he thinks differently and always put effort no matter the opponent. As a vet, i like that he’s maintaining the proper “big bro” etiquette. Sometimes very good writers become apathetic because well they earned it and people will gravitate to their work regardless, but Uni shows love to us novice and i think thats dope of him. Bodey is def one of my favorites. She has this voice in her writing thats just so honest. Like she digs deep inside, takes some aspect of her concerns or moments and use it to craft a verse around it. I know because there are nuances in her writings that had to have come from more than literary techniques. Off site, I have a crew on Rap Royalty call Sic Parvis Magna, and i’m a huge fan of one name Rude. She’s really good. So creative and very lyrical. MCD is also very good. And you, bro. You were one of the people i was reading for signing up and love how you fuse poetic language without it being too distracting to the overall narrative. And i just got into Vulgar's stuff after reading a few of his picture challenge verses and Yoooo...that dude needs to sign up immediately! Your name is relatively new to Netcees but obviously you weren't born yesterday. Care to tell us about your humble beginnings? Lulz. I actually started a long as time ago on Rapmusic. I don’t even remember my name back then. I was more of a lurker so i can’t say it helped me much with writing cause i never practice when i was there. I really started at Rap Royalty. Had my first topical battle there against *drumroll* Lars lulz. And well, i lost. It was close though but, i can tell he wasn’t even trying. The irony was, the same story framing device that Universe used against me this week (the therapy session concept) i used for that battle with lars ha ha. No one has held on to the GWL belt for two consecutive weeks yet. How do you plan on being the first to do so? Its going to be hard man. I have to really dig deep for this one. Still in the concept stage and will be starting my 1st draft and edits tomorrow. Not to sound like i’m premeditating my excuse, that picture, i can see Bodey go ham on it. I’m actually just as excited to read what she got for it lulz. Are you excited about the huge list of names that signed in this week? You may recognize more of them than I do but I'm excited nonetheless. Hell yeah! Artifice seems very seasoned. I just skimmed through their battle right before doing this interview and wow, is it too early to say that it might be contender for BOTW? Noetic is an interesting character. I hope he can relay that personality to his writing because with the amount of dark and dreary stuff on display week to week, i can see him apply lighter-materials that may just be the thing people need, that can propel him into top seeds. Oh and for the record i was the one who vote for him in the pic challenge ha ha. Any last thoughts? *This leagues been really fun and i’ve enjoyed and learned so much from it. Big thanks to you, inno, uni (even though he’s not necessarily a mod), i feel you guys are the lifeblood of this motherfucker. And i’m glad mags are dropped in a consistent manner because, i really feel its needed to maintain interest and generate motivation. Thanks, guys. And let me end it with my prediction this week lulz Champ match @Scar vs @Bodey - deep inhale and exhale Contenders Inno vs @Ender - i'm going with ender. I know his past couple submissions has been decent, but when motivated, he will be hard to beat. I feel like he may have real life matter to tend to that took away from much of his time here but trust me, that dude is dangerous. @dead man vs @Adverse - I look forward to this one but i have to go dead man here. Pharoah proved that its not impossible to beat him but you'll need to dig extra deep for that. good luck my man. @Universe vs @Clutbuck - oh man! lets go! @Artifice vs @Johnny 6 feet - they already dropped their verse so i will just go and vote. @NoetiC vs @Blue Bayou Bro i hope blue show. The fact that people write him off so easily kind of bothers me thats why i'm always rooting for this guy. But noetic might just be that writer the league need. @Elfo vs @Ouch i don't know who they are to be honest. but for the sake of voting, i'll go with ouch i guess. @Sinacog vs @Headless Verseman - Headless @Candy vs @Pharaohs Army - Well Vulger just subbed in and dropped a really good verse. I'm unsure about this one. Thanks for your time Bodey and Scar! I enjoyed picking your brains good luck this week. OUTRO once again we come to the end of the mag. I hope you guys enjoyed that ish cuz it sure took a long time to put together. once again I liked to thank my partner in crime @Adverse for his help with predictions and a great interview as always. Although these mags are time consuming and tedious, I truly enjoy writing them as it lets me know we are doing a great job with the league. yall keep showing up and dropping great content and we will do the same. next week if there is time I will include BOTW and VOTW as well depending on how well this week goes. Thanks to ad for his help and once again Enjoy!! @Adverse @Universe @Bodey @Scar @Clutbuck @Johnny 6 feet @NoetiC @dead man @Ender @Candy @Pharaohs Army @Ouch @Elfo @Artifice @Blue Bayou Last edited by Adverse; 05-07-2020 at 03:31 AM. |

I appreciate how much work you put into this Inno. You really gave the full picture for the newcomers like me to take in. And thanks for not burying me in the prediction for my match! I'll take that 52/48 with a smile, especially since Artifice won the picture challenge last week. (congrats dude)
Great read man. Well worth the time. |

Dope interview for sure. Bodey seems like a dope chick. And honestly I e never replied to any of her OM’s cuz I rarely reply to those, but I do read them. And Bodey has always been a fav when she drops. It’s interesting to see good writers having doubts about themselves. It seems to be a similar trait in al great writers. Again dope interview looking forward to scars interview now lol

Cool interview @Bodey.
@Inno @Adverse - you both continue to do an amazing, selfless job, putting others before yourselves. Because of this, I would like to interview you both for next weeks magazine - give you guys some time to tell us about yourself and let us know what you're all about and what drives you. I've already started writing both of your questions so just say yes lol. Let me know what you guys think.

Also I don’t know if anybody noticed but my pic challenge entry last week was a prequel to my battle piece. I tried to do the whole Universe thing lol Thought it was cool Bodey had this Stephen King inspired verse last week and I did a sort of Eli Roth thing, was cool we were both were thinking horror but on opposite sides of the spectrum in the same vein |

@Inno @Adverse - you guys put so much work into this shit every week, best believe it doesn’t go unnoticed. That mag was awesome. When Adverse messaged me for an interview I was like, wait do we do interviews now? Lol and I did notice we both had this spookyish approach to that topic, I thought the votes were gonna be closer to tying honestly, the cannabilism aspect was gnarly. Also, Inno good looks, I appreciate that. I’m lookin forward to hearing more from @Scar. Last week he managed to interweave things from both his own and Universe’s past submissions, and made it a part of his character’s reality in his latest post. I just found that so dope, because he did it with a perfect subtlety, as if he was winking at his opponent. I’m on my phone so hopefully my autocorrect kept up with whatever the hell I just typed.
Also, when I saw @Ouch ‘s topical pic for this week, I couldn’t help but hear Tom Hanks yelling “WILSONNNN”

@Scar is the man. Huge fan of that guy in both the way he writes and how he conducts himself.
You give me too much credit bro lol. Great read, cheers.

Another doe interview for sure. I’m pissed I’m not one of scars favs lol jk
I think the league is successful because of the members as well as them mods. I mean past seasons mags have been posted on time and people still had that lackluster attitude towards voting and showing up. I think the big difference this season is that people aren’t necessarily only looking for feed. The enthusiasm you guys have towards each other’s stuff and the league is a big big part of how well we are doing, also covid lol |

not gonna lie, covid's what brought me back. going forward though it looks like i'll be working from home at least a couple days a week, so that should give more time to write and keep active.

Awesome work as always Inno. Great job
Props to all others involved as well Also, the pic verse I posted last week was Thom Yorke (hence the trademark at the bottom). It's one of my faves and thought it was well represented by the pic, and ppl might enjoy it Yes Inno. It's incredibly deep and beautiful Love y'all
