I’m actually considering retiring from topicals at the moment

never felt this way before, maybe I still have a few left in me

faced everyone already and haven’t really felt like I’ve got out of second gear in last seasons GWL / Black August

i was in poor form ahead of GWL playoffs, wasn’t enjoying writing at all, I threw my name in the ring last min to see if the competition would inspire me but never really got into it, just scraped by

tried Black August II to see if that helped rekindle me writing wise but again didn’t feel I was anywhere near my best

ended up winning somehow, but maybe I should retire while the goings good

first time I’ve ever felt like that

Wanna go against me for old times sake first? I can't even remember if we've ever gone head to head honestly but if we did you probably won lol

Look guys, if you took the extension you had an entire week to write. That should have been plenty of time, holiday and all, to write 10-50 lines I mean come on. No excuse for the no shows. People like Universe bust their ass weekly to deliver a quality product on time and it really doesn’t do justice to him as a writer getting no showed and wasting all that time and effort.

Let's just call it an insta KO and move along. The good thing about topicals is your opponent is kind of irrelevant - the battle is with the topic. So in that sense, I feel satisfied.

Would love to hear what you guys thought of it though. I tried something a little different this week; less of my usual story tropes and more metaphorical, etc.

Will be voting/reviewing throughout the day.

We need more of this.

@Adverse We need to make voting on completed battles mandatory, not optional. For every one you don't vote on it's minus 1 vote. So you could be down 3-0, vote on 4 battles, and if your opponent doesn't vote you will win 4-3.

You should also set a deadline for voting.

This way, a vote for someone else is basically a vote for yourself. If neither participant votes it's a double DQ and two L's will be handed out.

No more of this lackadaisical BS. Vote or lose, people. Period. Don't like it? Don't have time? Sign out.

Let's fucking go. I'm going to steamroll all of you in every category at this rate. Let's see some passion for this hobby.

If this happens, I want to face Diablo first @Adverse if possible. I think I may know how to beat him now.
