She's probably peaking right now. By the time she's 20, she'll be a wash.

Lol. Extra cushion.

Lol frank editing after deadline again

Never gonna learn..

[patrown]

i'm not one to pore over p's and (d)q's.

The ruling is that Frank is allowed to edit his verse until the first vote is dropped because he posted second (unlike against PancakeBrah) and will not be disqualified for length because patrown has permitted his excess.

I would not have been so kind.

remind me in the future to throw up a rough draft at deadline and then come back and edit it the next day as long as nobody voted yet

I think we can do a better job of closing loopholes in the future, but yes, this is the way the rule has been all season and (as I understand it) in previous ones as well.

Ultimately, a disqualification for something like editing or length is and should be at the discretion of the opponent, though, and patrown is being generous.

sure.

i just wanted to confirm that loophole is available for exploitation and deadlines really don't mean anything as long as:

1) a placeholder of some sort is made before deadline
2) placeholder is posted after the opponent's verse
3) nobody has voted yet
4) opponent allows the deadline to be ignored

[Certain]

Basically, as I understand it, if you post 16 lines before the deadline, your battle will stay open, and if you can edit in a real verse before the first vote, you're good to go.

Also, if anyone tries that type of shit, I'm going to vote in your battle immediately.

If you can't see the difference between adapting fiction and non-fiction, I'd like some of what you're smoking.

Hell, I'd like it anyway. The videos are great.

I just gotta say, cake, I love how you used the exact subject matter the predictions said you like to write about. That's creativity on a whole mother level man

[PancakeBrah]

I don't know why but in almost every match I've had this year my opponent has either done something untoward (no show, recycle, edit) or they've felt the need to say something in this topic if the match actually went to votes and they were losing. Maybe people don't like losing to someone named PancakeBrah. Perhaps people generally don't respect what I write. Who's to say. I'm not one to care for the reason but it does indeed get old. I try to make a point of not saying anything about a match until it's over just out of respect for the competition. Since you've brought it up, though, I might as well stoop to your level and respond. See, you're obviously being sarcastic. You laid it on pretty thick. So I have to assume you think my approach was NOT creative. That's the argument. Counterpoint; the end of the verse was meant to be self deprecating and, if I can say so, a bit humorous. There was no plot. Thus no twist. Maybe you need every topical to be a story with a whoa crazy crazy twist to deem it creative. I'm not of that mind. When I had set out in writing my piece I had two ideas in mind; a plot based verse, or a less "creative" approach fleshed out by the exploration of an idea with an emphasis on thought and creative schemes. I chose the latter. The obvious pitfall would be if my opponent had a thoughtful verse with strong schemes that was also creative in approach. I felt the reward outweighed the risk and attempted to write the fullest verse I could in relation to the topic. The approach wasn't "Creative" but I hoped my execution and wit would be. It's a writing league. I tried to outwrite my opponent without relying on a gimmicky premise (although one could argue writing about my own tendencies as a writer is a gimmick) or a convoluted storyline meant to surprise the reader. So yes, I apologize for not meeting your standard of creativity YDK. I'm sure there's a wall somewhere that'd be more empathetic toward your complaint.
