Why are we so strict on deadlines?
 

Is this site anywhere near professional? No.

Why are we treating deadlines like some asshole College professor that wants you to fail?

The amount of time we have to write quality lines is already little as is. (Considering people aren't premeditating shit)

People have nearly finished verses just going to waste because of this. Their opponents verse goes to waste because of this. And overall it just takes away from competition. No one likes having no show wins on a tourney run. People look at it as less deserved, same way we look at it with the LBT/LBA.

If someone needs a few hours extended, we should give it to them. Up to a whole day. People got lives and all types of other shit going on. Pretty sure Banks & stricc put off a tourney final for a whole month over real life shit.


This needs to change imo.

Why are people using the "fake personals" excuse to vote against you in a rap battle where you insult your opponent :)

Rules are rules. I for one am in favour of a hard deadline.

People on here are dumb

So... a deadline then.

because it holds the whole tournament up. I can understand if it is like an hour or something but not a whole day

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?

As we just learned, a deadline can be missed as long as there’s communication and agreement. There has to be an initial deadline just to keep things orderly. As long as nobody’s getting DQ’d against the wishes of the other participant for something dumb, idk what the big deal is.

This idea has potential but could be easily abused

Remember with the strict 3 days to post 3 days to vote deadline this GC is taking OVER a MONTH to complete.

& we're talking 16 lines. I wrote a 64 in 2 hours a few weeks ago. Y'all got 3 days from the round opening. You could be writing bars NOW for the next round.

Typically I allow it as long as ot doesn't have an effect on the battle. Like if you drop a no show verse last second the opponent can't drop a real one 6 hours later.

Shodan was about an hour late for Kiwi but shit like that's fine if the battle gets made.
