Creative Writing Tournament! [PM VERSES] (New people added!)

Postby Relapse.LP » Nov 30th, '09, 00:24

How about a creative writing tournament where two people battle each other with a piece about a specific topic? Someone has to decide the specific topic (haven't decided who yet) and the general forum members will vote on which one. :b:

Same rules as a "Rap Battle", I guess. 3-0 KO, 4-1 KO, 5 to win.
Who's in? Since no rap tourney is coming up, I suppose this one will replace it. :boxing:

Sorry, if the brackets confuse you. It's a standard tournament style... Elimination style. I haven't quite decided if losers can face off against other losers to determine exact placing. Probably though. :y:

The topic for the First Round is... Your mind is disconnected from your body. (Out-of-body experience)

Requirements: Two 8-lines verses. Hook must be included and repeated twice.

Deadline: 11 PM Pacific Time (US), Wednesday the 2nd

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you fail to deliver your verse to me by the deadline (I will post later after topic is decided), you are immediately disqualified. If someone doesn't even sign on during the duration of the tournament, you are immediately disqualified. So make sure you are available.

Note that this is not a rap battle. There is a tremendous difference between how a creative writing battle and rap battle is judged, supposedly. Excessive use of punchlines will not get you anywhere.

I think this will be hard when it gets to the voting. Cuz this cant be judged like rap battles. Sometimes you will write a piece and not use multies or word plays to fit the concept. And your opponent might have those things, but lack of real concept. If you guys know what I mean...

Judge it just like this.

1. Relevance (How much it stays on the given topic)

2. Originality (How fresh it sounds; not the same old game)

3. Complexity (The basic stuff of rap: multies, internals, wordplay, nameplay, you name it)

4. Overall Enjoyability (Even if you aren't complex, if it's just fun to read, you get kudos)

That sounds about right. But Relapse, just get this thing started as soon as possible. Cuz if we neglect this for 3-4 days, this all goes to hell. Just like that battle tournament...
