WEEK FIVE CHAT

I'm so ahead you guys think I'm behind... ugh.

I don’t think you’re behind. Sorry if you took offense to anything I said. You’ve been nothing but a credit to the league and I’m just trying to find a solution that keeps you around while also advocating for what I think would make the league run better overall. GWL run sounds like exactly what I was describing - why not do that again?

Universe nyc Dom Frank adverse Lars etc. This league hasn’t had that much depth on the roster in years…why not do what dom said and do the overarching story thing in 40 line segments

Not you, Dom. Shoulda quoted NYC, sorry.

And doing anything "again" doesn't interest me, man. I'm not here to build up wins or champ stuff, I'm here to challenge myself. Hence, Project X etc. . 100 lines I can do some crazy shit with and don't have to hold back too much. That interests me.

You guys have to understand that I shit out 60 lines for breakfast. I actually write about 200 per piece and edit DOWN to 100.

And, full disclosure, I write screenplays on the side and have one filming in Germany right now. This is what I do. I write stories. I just don't want to hear from tourists telling me this or telling me that. I LIVE here, and I know what challenges me and what I'm looking for.

That said, I certainly don't view myself as bigger than the league that is filled with talented writers like yourself, Dom. And Adverse. So I'm not looking for special treatment - I want everyone on board or I'll jump off and swim elsewhere. It's all the same to me.

I love just sitting back and voting too so maybe that's where I will benefit the league most.

[Adverse]

Line limit is so tricky, definitely something I’ve had trouble with in my few go’s at league running. Hard to find a balance, personally I find myself in both situations. Sometimes I’m good with 40 and sometimes I go out on a tangent and am 50 lines over the line limit before I even realize it. I think Universe is just on a whole other planet with this stuff, and he is definitely not the norm. I see the voting gripes with longer verses and such as well. At the end of the day this league is a democracy and I’ll post a poll to figure a good solution for the benefit of the majority

[Adverse]

@Frank sorry for deleting your vote man once battles hit 4-0 or 4-1 we kind of close and move on so we can keep the league on a decent pace. Everybody voting weekly isn’t a requirement at the moment because we’ve been blessed by having great voting this year, so as long as we’ve got that going, you don’t have to fret about a vote count or anything I just ask you participate and vote on what you can get to

Appreciate everyone let’s get this Dom/Eviction battle settled so we can get the next week going

No need, Ad. I'm definitely the odd man out. I'll just sign out here but stay on as a voter.

Just make Dom vs Eviction a Champ match. It's good enough and both deserve it.

Alright man, fair enough. Maybe project X + votes is the best thing then after all.

Re: being a tourist. What kind of feedback are you looking for on what you post? Like, what aspects of your writing would you like me/others to critique? You feed/vote basically everything in here so I would want to try to pay it back, but I don't want to give you an opinion you're not interested in hearing.

I think Adverse deserves a spot in the champ match if you're not going ahead... Me vs Eviction looks like it's going to be a pain to wrap up this week. It's 3-3 now, how about call it a tie and let's have a 3 way champ match next week, capped at 40 lines each? @Adverse @Eviction?

[Eviction]

works for me.

That’s fine with me as well , we just got to get this objective Hal0 battle settled then we’re in business for next week

[Eviction]

do you get an accomp for champing or just champing the season?

[Dominate]

Both I believe. At least that’s how it was in the NBL back in the day.

IMO, Voting is the number 1 priority. Start deducting and applying penalties to non-voters, IMO? 5-0 is universal as far as shutting down battles, as far as I'm concerned, 4-0 and 4-1 are not.
As the mod, you should cast the final vote on those 2 battles now and set up next weeks matches (with new rules specifying voting rules and due dates.)
Battles should be posted Monday Morning.
Due Thursday Night(Extension Friday Night)
And closed Sunday Night.

[Eviction]

I'm in the lead now but I'm still cool with the 3 way

Technically @Eviction is up by a vote, do you guys want to still call it a tie @Dominate and do the three way champ match next week?

WAY TO RUIN EVERYTHING @Objective LOL jk.
The other battle still needs votes right? So maybe leave ours open and hopefully we could get one more vote, which would either give Eviction the win via a 2 vote margin or else bring us back to a tie. If it stays at 4-3 then ??? I mean I have a vested interest to say so but I think that’s more of a tie than a win/loss. If Eviction’s cool with it then let’s still do the 3 way. I’m OK with whatever, just don’t let that battle prevent the league from moving on if the other one wraps up is what I’m saying.
