Exclamation RD 1: Split Eight vs Certain - CERTAIN WINS BY NS - OPEN FOR FEEDBACK!





Welcome aboard motherfuckers!

This is the netcees.org S.T.I - named primarily because the majority of the board believe the topical side consists of homoerotic man poetry about rainbows and unicorns. We're here to hopefully dispel that myth once and for all! ...or confirm it, which would be equally lulzy for the casual reader but not so great for your reputations, I'd imagine.

Regardless, if you find yourself still here you can put that down to either my utter stupidity, blind belief you'll show up, or the fact you're a pretty sought after writer. Take your pick. I've assembled the greatest talent to still be doing this hallowed hobby of ours. This may well be the final opportunity for some of you to go out with a bang before retiring from text all together. For others this may be their greatest crowning achievement so far. Whichever category you fall into, I promise to pit you against some of the very best writers online and over the coming month I want you to prove why I was write to have invited you here ahead of an array of other writers that were denied their spot. It's time to show and prove, ladies.

This is where shit gets real!

House Rules:

16 lines minimum, 48 lines maximum. (if agreed upon by both participants, you may go beyond the limit at your own risk.)

Check Ins are due: Wednesday 11:59 PST (You MUST check in!)
Verses are due: FRIDAY 11:59 PST.
Votes are due: The following Monday!


PLEASE VOTE ON EVERY OTHER BATTLE! I'm not here to police you guys, but it doesn't hurt to vote and it also helps ensure we keep things moving around here - these tournaments are nothing without the support of you guys. Modding is often a thankless task, and I've put in a lot of work to make this happen for you all, don't let me down!

There is NO RECYCLING, BITING ETC. Pretty standard. I shouldn't have to tell you folks that.

First to post may edit verse until opponent posts his verse. Second to post may edit their verse up until the first vote is cast.

EDIT: I'll match length if you post first, but I'll be going 18-20. I prefer shorter verses

Another plate of cheese. Gouda du jour. Savory tastes of malaise
encasing my impatience as I pace yet remain
stuck on this hamster wheel, like some kind of rodent.
Eeking out commands to a world that’s now finally beholden
to my plans. To my wishes. To everything we were chasing.
No more poking heads out floorboards to envision our greatness.
No more plotting every night after they left us for dead.
Now they’re the lab rats. Sic semper their heads.
We spent our youths chasing tails. No, never again.
Each empty ruse strained and failed while they slept in their beds.
But this was destiny —plus a plan that kept us 10 steps ahead,
first in the lab, then water tower, then the president’s home.
Two white mice in a white house with the masters deposed,
we were chewing through these bastards with their cats indisposed.
“Egad!”
Not now, old friend, can’t you see I’m trying to bask in the glow
of all the power and the glory in having captured the globe.
Oh, well yes, I’ll take more cheese … and some crackers to go.
It’s time for our nightly ritual, our schemes and goals are unfurled.
It’s the same thing we do every night, Pinky —
try to keep control of the world.

lol. pretty cool conceit, if i can call it that. i.e. like some kind of rodent. - would misdirect the reader, but of course this perspective belongs to brain who naturally thinks himself more. the mention of lab rats and youths chasing their tail, also, were in a simlar vein pretty cool. i liked that cartoon, too, back in the day. decent offering.

v/split?
