Again, this is open to discussion. I want to know your ideas for rules :)

Poetry Battle Rules:

- Battles should only happen between two users, unless there is a collaboration involved. This should obviously be stated.

- There should be an agreement between the contestants....before the thread is made :lol (<3 you still, you know who you are)

- You must state the following:
Theme
Participants
Votes (Preferred if the limit is first to five)
Style


- Try not to have the battles last longer than a week. Five days, even.

- The poems SHOULD be posted within twenty four hours of the thread's creation. No more than 48 hours.

WHEN VOTING:

- Not only state who you are voting for, BUT WHY. As a writer, you should like critiques. And try not to give wimpy critiques, say what you want to say, nicely of course.

- Anyone can vote in a poetry Battle

- Any battles which have not had both pieces posted in or had a vote within 3 days are subject to closure.

- By the end of the week if there is no participant with five votes, whoever has the most is declared the winner.

- So yeah, play nice d:

- HAVE FUN, HAR HAR.

Add something like the following.

- Anyone can vote in a poetry Battle
- Any battles which have not had both pieces posted in or had a vote within 3 days are subject to closure.

@ bee, I got here when I woke up sorry about that.

(<3 you too)

x333 Aww~ no random challenges (like ours)? ;-; Heartbreaking. >.> But alright.

How about~ if not enough votes are gathered by the end of one week (if a voting style is suggested; i.e. first to five), the person with the most votes automatically wins? o.o

Keep chat in the battle threads to a minimum...Don't turn them into discussion threads instead use the Potw/contest discussion thread for that.
