Ransom Writers Chat

[Virbius]

12 lines will suffice, I’m just being greedy and wanting 16 because it’s gonna be fun and it’s easier to write more material based off the combinations of names to flip and partners’ ideas to bounce off.

Yeah I’m conflicted because on one hand I’m very pleased to be partnered with FaQ and get a chance to drop some bars vs Dave for the first time, and we’ve already started writing. On the other hand FaQ and I are probably the only team where both people show up, so it doesn’t really qualify as a 2 vs 2 round which is a pity.

I’d suggest putting the four most likely no-shows together as a single battle and reworking the matchups. Me and FaQ are writing as a team, that’s decided. I’d randomise pairings from the following list:
HEK, Mal, Slay, Shaman, Jack.

If we can get someone from the following list to confirm they’re in for this round then they get moved to the previous list, and the remaining four get a battle where nobody’s likely to show:
Dave, Miracle, Unf, Spree, Knox

[Slayerr.]

why you do your doodie queef like that lmao damn

Virbs got enough time on his hands to do that but not our house work

I just havn't really been feeling like writing rhymes, so I'd rather keep it down than up, but I already thought about some stuff on Knox and Mal, so I don't want to shift now, and on second thought we can also do 16 for my sake cuz I think this one pretty much writes itself for me. And not to mention I have actually been the one bitching about the bar limit in the past lol.

[Slayerr.]

Idk about this I don’t want to rely on anybody else, imagine if I get someone wack like slayerr on my team

Jokes aside tho idc about bar limit just tag me in the set up battle thread and I’ll bring the fire

[FaQEyeReddit]

I see what you did there

[Jack Hallows]

@Bag Mandela I think I'm cool with just 12. It seems it's just a repairing of me and Mal this time around anyway ...

he’s right. i was thinking this too. Bag if you want you could pair Mal with Hek & give Shaman Un & knox.

this works. shit we could even do 3’s. me, FAQ & Mal; HEK, Shaman, Slayerrrrrr; Virb, miracle & Dave.. since Virb writes enough material in his verses for 2 additional niggas anyway

oh & of course Spree, Unfwit & we can probly grab that homeless spanish guy who lives on the bench outside & yells profanities at everyone that walks by his cup.

[TheShaman]

Lol 3 battlers now, what is this? I say let's keep it as it is. It's not about showing or no-showing anyway. The novelty is the idea of a 2 vs. 2 in the first place. And I already wrote a few bars on my pairing so don't go and change it now pls =]

[Jack Hallows]

ey ey ey fuck what that last guy said how bout this: an absolute free for all every man for themselves 50 bar gunrap contest written entirely in shorthand.

[Bag Mandela]

@TheShaman look on YT for a Barnsley accent, it's got to be the most fucked up I've ever heard, they pronounce "coal" like "coil" and still say thee, tha & thine.

We'll keep it at 12 lines n say 2 weeks prep. I'll vote on this week's battles later today & hopefully @MV will too

[Slayerr.]

Will vote later today

[Bag Mandela]

These are the matches we have to make the 2 on 2s from (It was already a ball ache making the match ups work with the drop outs:

Miracle vs Unfukwitable
mal diction vs Spree
Jack Hallows vs HEK TEAFY
Slayerr. vs FaQEyeReddit
daveDILLY vs Virbius
KnoXville vs TheShaman

We can stick with the last match ups or go with either of these, there isn't really any more fair or evenly-matched options that won't fuck the rest of the schedule up & I can't lump all the possible no-shows into one battle unfortunately:

Mal Diction & Miracle vs Unfukwitable & Spree
-
Jack Hallows & HEK TEAFY vs Slayerr. & FaqEyeReddit
-
Virbius & TheShaman vs daveDILLY & Knoxville

Assuming @daveDILLY & @Knox ville are going to no show we could make it unlimited, Virb could get his extra lines off & Shaman wouldn't have to write an extra 6 he cba with. Either the last match ups or this are probs best. But as option 3 there is this:

Spree & Slayerr. vs FaQEyeReddit & mal diction
-
Jack Hallows & TheShaman vs HEK TEAFY &Knoxville
-
Virbius & Unfukwitable vs Miracle & daveDILLY

[Virbius]

Ah sorry to be awkward! Yeah I see, if you’re needing to keep us matched up with our prescheduled opponents for the round then the four no-shows can’t be in one battle. It’s a pity some of the teams will be functionally one person but nevermind, blame that on the no-shows. Probably best to keep it as it is at this stage, Shaman already asked to keep the current matchups because he’s started writing. FaQ and I have started writing as well.

Reminder that anyone whose partner doesn’t turn up can potentially ‘weekend at Bernies’ it up. I mean they can still write parts for their partner and sock-puppet them if they wanna do back and forths or whatever.

Haha, unlimited would be fun. I’d love that but I dunno if everyone else is gonna be down.

[Virbius]

@Slayerr. @daveDILLY you guys up for an unlimited battle or nah?

[Slayerr.]

Merry Christmas everyone!

[mal diction]

i would but nobody's reading unlimited
