Shodan's Challenge Circuit
Week 1
Prompt: This league is called the Circuit, and we want it to get off to a shocking start!
This week, your bar must tie into the concept of electricity.
Your bar must be submitted by Monday, February 26, 11:59PM CST (GMT -6:00).
Make sure to read the league rules below.
If you have a question about this league, the answer you seek is probably in there.
Good luck to all, and may the best writer win!
~~~ Rules ~~~
- Note that
all of these rules are "unless I state otherwise." Most likely, some battle prompts will contradict these rules, in which case the battle prompt overrides.
-
As the sole owner and proprietor of this league, I reserve the right to accept and reject signups, disqualify participants, nullify votes, and do anything else related to administering this league, as I see fit. This clause is for management purposes only, and I don't expect that I will need to use it. Don't prove me wrong.
- Voting will performed in a new thread each week. All bars, along with the member who wrote them, will be displayed there. When voting, post your expos and choice of winner in the current thread. You are only allowed to choose one winner.
- I will not be participating in this league. However, I do plan to vote on the battles in it.
- Voting for yourself is not allowed.
Voting for a crewmate is fine, but keep in mind that I reserve the right to delete your vote if I think it's unfair.
- All votes are equally weighted, including mine.
- All votes must be well-expo'd. Comprehensive breakdowns are not necessary, but "gb fv vb no h8" is unacceptable. If I believe your vote is improperly expo'd, I will contact you about it and ask you to fix it, and you will be allowed to edit your vote until the deadline to vote on that battle closes.
- Your bar can be directed at anybody or nobody. Personals are okay, directing the diss at yourself is okay, and directing the diss at fellow SCC members or the league owner is not only okay but encouraged.
- The length requirement for your submission is fairly loose. 2 lines in the battle box is a good standard, but you can definitely have some reasonable leeway either way.
- In each round, I MUST receive your submission between the beginning of the round and the submission deadline. Hopefully, each round will begin on Thursday and the submission deadline will be midnight, CST (GMT -6:00) the following Monday, but this is subject to change. The exact method of submission is unimportant: your bar can be posted on the thread, sent to me via PM, or left as a comment on my profile.
Failure to submit your verse by the deadline results in disqualification, no matter who you are or what your excuse is.
-
It ought to go without saying, but biting, recycling, and swaying will result in automatic disqualification.
