    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Remember, all you have to do is write rhymes. I know its easier said than done, but you should do fine.</div>

    I can think up rhymes. That's not the problem. The problem is that when I write them down, I sound more like Dr. Suess than Dr. Dre. Thanks for the encouragement though.

    For organizational purposes, here's the current list. I'll update as more come. How many are we waiting for? Eight, sixteen, more...?

    <u>Current List of Participants</u>

    1) Brian - Are you competing yourself?
    2) azn_iverson
    3) Swish15
    4) phunDamentalz
    5) vcwannabe15
    6) Voodoo Child

    How long will this probably go on though, and will there be limits on minimum and maximum lines posted?

    God help all us fools, if THE DREAM enters.

    It'll probably be 2 or 3 days for every battle, and a max of 10 lines posted. I dont know, its all very confusing right now, I'll see if I can organize it up. Maybe you can help me? I dont know if I will be able to run all this alone when school starts.

    Anyways, there's one more spot open.

    Sure, I could help.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting azn_iverson:</div><div class="quote_post">^^ define a line hahah.. someone could use two words in a line.</div>

    I would say a line would be anything from a single word to a line of text that fully fills the JBB margins.

    We'd have to make sure that people know the emphasis is on quality and not quantity though. You can be clever in short, concise lines, and on the flipside, someone could ramble in a longer line.

    Minimum: 8 lines
    Maximum: 10 lines

    That's per post though, right? They go back and forth throughout the thread for two days?

    Count me in (I haven't read the thread, don't know if you still need people or not). I used to text rap before at rap forums when I was like 13-14 or so, and I've rapped and performed on stage (haven't done it in like 3 years though), so I'm trying to see if I still have writing ability.

    Here's to hoping I demolish my opponent [​IMG]

    Sure, since we now have 8 competitors, we have enough to start it.

    Does everyone agree with these pairings (picked at random)?

    <u>Round 1</u>

    Match 1 - phunDamentalz vs. MrJ
    Match 2 - azn_iverson vs. Locke
    Match 3 - Chutney vs. Swish15
    Match 4 - vcwannabe15 vs. Voodoo Child

    <u>Round 2</u>

    Winner of Match 1 vs. Winner of Match 2
    Winner of Match 3 vs. Winner of Match 4

    Finals: The two remaining contestants.

    As for voting, I say we make it poll style, with the votes being shown to the public.

    And sure, we can change the minimum lines to 6.
