Writers' Study Duels: Commentary, discussing, trash talking - ALL HERE!

[General Retreat]

Oh, the burger and turtle
Provide grounds most fertile
For disappointment and a bore;

For a battle of the ages,
Of passions and rages,
We demand something more!

For a great clash of wits
We must find one who fits,
This sadly unoccupied description,

So most boldly does enter
Another great contender
With victory as his addiction!

The challenge is proclaimed
By the General most famed
For both to meet their fate -

Their last hour has tolled,
With General going for gold
On the appointed date.

[Dude with the Food]

Well you got the trash part right. I don't see much challenge though.

[Scottish King]

Do I see a duel challenge about to be issued?

[Dude with the Food]

That would imply General Retreat understands philosophical concepts such as honour. A brawl may be a more fitting title for such the possible future event I understand you to be imagining.

[Strengelicher]

As far as my eyes can see there is only one worthy challenger - General Retreat! So how does a duel work? I am ready to commit any kind of mischief, only please bear in mind that my profession can be quite demanding at times. So if I have to be online at a certain time or do a lot of writing in a short time span, this would be difficult.

Both of you guys will either agree on a topic (or a picture) or let me or one of the other moderators decide (I think it will be better if you decided but if you cant its ok). Once that is decided you write your stories by a deadline (a week is usually the norm though it can be longer if something comes up) and both of you private message them to a moderator (me for example). I would then set up a thread in the Lounge where people can vote for the best story. The winner of course wins the duel and bragging rights.

[Tigellinus]

So, is anyone looking for a duel? A challenge of their writing brilliance?

[Disappoint Ed]

Tigellinus, you need look no further than the common mutt of the streets to find one worthy of challenging you.

[Tigellinus]

So, in other words I need look no further than you?

You accept, good sir? This challenge?

[Disappoint Ed]

I don't see why not. It may be fun, beating you.

:p

[Tigellinus]

Then the challenge is accepted.

MWHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

[Disappoint Ed]

Deal.

While I don't particularly care about what we write about, I'll throw out Horsemen of the Apocalypse as an idea that might generate some interesting stories.

[Disappoint Ed]

What shall we write about? As you are the senior member, I feel inclined to allow you your pick.

[Tigellinus]

I really do not mind, let us both post ideas and see if we can agree on one? That way it is a mutual decision on a topic we're both interested in and can write about.

[Tigellinus]

I'll throw in.

Medieval Warfare

Medieval Battles

Medieval Politics

Japan and the Sengoku period

[Axis Sunsoar]

Y'all should write about the politics of Hell, featuring the horsemen of the apocalypse as the major players

[Disappoint Ed]

Not entirely confident in my own personal skills on Japanese history. :p

If we wanted to do a smash-up we could do the horsemen of the apocalypse somehow invading Medieval Europe, or something suitably ridiculous. It's up to you, though.

[Tigellinus]

I honestly have no knowledge of the Four Horsemen, or the Bible.


So, as you are unsure of your skills in Japanese History I am unsure about my skills writing of The Four Horsemen

[Disappoint Ed]

Ah, well, if you'd like we could go for something medieval. I'm semi-confident at least in my Medieval stuff, and it isn't measuring historical authenticity necessarily either. :p

[Tigellinus]

If you're fine with it, then yes please
