Combatwords, March 30, 2012: Trayvon
Martin vs George Zimmerman
Do you see Trayvon Martin & George
Zimmerman waving you over here? They're directing you to the new
CombatWords arena. Do you even need a primer? Some pics should do it.
I guarantee it.
Combat Expiration: 12am PST, 4/2/2012
Bonuses/Penalties: Time: +1 if posted
before 2am PST, 3/31/2012. -1 if posted before 6am 4/2/2012
Updated Rules:
Scoring: +1/-1 under the WITS structure:
Wit: wordplay, cleverness, clumsiness,
choppiness etc
Ideas: good/bad, whatever. Got to be a
cut above the ordinary poem.
Taste: Liked it/hated it
Structure: Is the sonnet a sonnet or
the essay an essay? Does the structure help the composition? A bonus
would go to an outstanding structure, not just a competent one.
The highest score any one critic can give could be a +4 &
the lowest could be -4. Scores are cumulative.
Finally, you need to defend each
portion of your WITS score. Either the composition has or doesn't
have wit. It either does or doesn't have good ideas. Etc. These are
not objective traits, but they can be calculated somewhat by the
readers/critics.
Critique: Any critic can question any
part of another critic's WITS score. Majority rules in deadlocked
cases.

This combat was full of fail for the following reasons:
1) I did not lead by example, by posting a composition of my own.
2) Several notable combatants thought the game was 7 days.
3) I did not promote it properly.
4) I have neglected updating the comments on this site to allow for threading.
5) Toylit loads slowly & I have ignored this problem.
I will start work on these problems and hope to have them resolved by next week. Thanks for reading.
