Why are we so strict on deadlines?

This is a dumb rule. And there are other rules that aren't anywhere near as concrete making for inconsistency and an overall unprofessional feel, so why be so damn strict with this?

Live battlers get a week at least to write. If someone is feeling uninspired and or has shit going on and can't get a verse in until 24 hours later, I think we should let it slide. Maybe I'm on the more extreme end, but perhaps a lesser grace period than I'm recommending would be fair.

How late were you on posting?

A somewhat fluid one, I guess you could say. Just basically recommending a grace period. Maybe up to two times in a tourney run or something.

Why not a whole day?
