yeah kiki follow the link in your thread and just add on to the stories that are already there. Mine was a mix of all of em but my back story was mainly off of slips character in his verse.
@ cubes... at first I hated the topic but when I started writing it I realized it actually was a pretty dope idea. good shit

Yeah Exo, I can see how it can be a bit tough to know where to start with it...hopefully it interests people enough to continue on with the stories afterwards, or at least know it's there!! Would be dope to see some collabs happening in the aftermath as well...

I also really enjoyed writing mine I must say...and I never planned on being involved in the outset.

@Sammy...I think that's where me & you are coming at this in slightly different angles (and I totally accept I've quite lazily defined the parameters, but I wanted to try and encourage people to be creative with it)...
I think I see the world more along the lines of a Gotham City or Daredevil place where your characters can go beyond pure reality...I was deliberate in the brief so say something along the lines of "Gotham or The Wire" as I wanted to give space for characters like Omar vs a Ras al Ghul. I definitely see this as gritty and authentic, but both Daredevil and Batman have that feel. Just to be really clear...I'm not taking about superheroes or a Marvel Universe type thing as the overall theme. I guess I'm just trying to say is if Marvel Universe was one extreme and The Wire was the other, it's be around the 75% towards the Wire. But that's just my head...maybe I need to create a series that's move towards the comic book world spectrum then we can leave Iliad to be gritty and realistic. |

Ahhh I see. A good model to follow would be M Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable universe lol. Perfect blend of realism and fantastics

This is a good idea.
My current plan is to merge the Spume / Kiki battle as no signs of Alice or S Dubb. Will do that tomorrow or Friday if no sign of those guys. Sure Endeeze will drop. |

I'll be voting on everything at some point today. Going back and forth with work at them moment though, so once I get a few to focus on it, I'll pick them off here and there.

Kiki v Spume is now open too...
As a reminder, you get hit with a -5 voting penalty if you don't vote this round and you were down to drop a verse. As it stands that would open up both divisions, but the TORNADO league in particular!! |

Think there's only one more vote required to close out this round now. If you've dropped a verse this round and not voted yet it's your last chance to avoid the -5 penalty...or an opportunity for someone lower down in the league to close the gap (!!)

It is harsh but don't worry...you'll get opportunities to make it back up. I want to keep people engaged and feeling like they have a chance to get to the top even if they are in the middle or the bottom (otherwise people might go "what's in it for me to show up?")...
You have been unlucky this time, but you'll have chances to make up the gap. |

No doubt, I'm thinking what's in it for me to show up
Oh well it will be fun to see all the other guys slide also because the original twist said nothing about whether you show up or not, only if you don't vote!!!!; So I won't be falling alone or from the highest heights? |

I like fucking y'all up...
Will update the league table over next few days. We're on pause until IC2 is either finished or in latter stages. |
