Me cool, though busy with life.
That section seems like a fun place to be.
I'm gonna stroll down there one day (not for battle)

GIYAZZ:
Lol, me too.

And yes, the Rap battle section is a fun place to be. But it's filled terrorists, villains and gladiators. Hahahahahaha!! Don't be scared though, Laykorn survived. I'm sure you will.

I'd love it if you come for a visit though, it'd be cool.

timpaker:

Chuksemi:

I am fine. Studies, in progress and hopefully, I won't be that scarce again.

joseph1832:
Jigsawkillah that's an automatic disqualification for them IMO. I wonder why they didn't even do their home work before embarking on writing the poem.

Llaykorn, I think the time accorded this competition is way too long. The contestants are given way too much time to take in writing the poems.

I believe a poet must let his imagination guide him/her thus making him/her write at the go. Not take forever to write.

llaykorn:


Good morning, Joseph. No, contestants that submit poems that aren't rengas won't be disqualified. The 'Renga Rules Compliance' criterion which carries 50 out of the 100 obtainable marks is there to cater for that. They might just score a zero in that.

And, a week was awarded in the first round to cater for those whom it will take some time to get in touch with their partners. I agree, though, that the time awarded in the second round where contacts have been established between all pairs shouldn't have been that much, and that, by God's grace will be corrected by next year's collaboration contest.

joseph1832:
Then why is the contest call the 'Renga Fiesta' if contestants aren't writing Renga's? or obeying Renga rules or even contest rules? What those guys wrote is no way near anything call Renga, but who am I to criticize eh. Lol.

llaykorn:


Lol.. But that's why the renga rules compliance criterion carries a mark of 50 points. Let me ask you a question, sir. If one of the contestants wrote their renga with a 5-7-5 8-8 which should be 5-7-5 7-7, what do we do? Do we disqualify them? It's almost impossible to have about half or more of the contestants come with a slight slip that would practically make their piece not to be called a renga, sir. Do we disqualify them all? Do we disqualify everyone who added an extra syllable or removed one from his haiku?


Bros...you harsh small eh

Any two poets that come to the table with a completely correct renga in syllable count and structure will be getting their complete 50 in that criterion, sir, and all slips bring deductions.

JigsawKillah:
This Joseph1832 is something else LOL I meant to warn them without drawing attention

GIYAZZ:
Tally ho!

llaykorn:


Eh?
