(just because I feel like it, and even though the pen is widely accepted as being deadlier than any conventional non-projectile weaponry)

On previous occasions, we had:

1. 16.Jan.2003 - TheDR4KE vs. Cordelia (ff)
2. 18.Jun.2004 - champagne1982 vs. fawnie (2-1)
3. 11.Jul.2004 - Angeline vs. BooMerengue (3-0)
4. 21.Jul.2004 - perks vs. Liar (2-0)
5. 20.Nov.2004 - Tristesse vs. tungtied2u (2-1)

The rules are simple:

This is a LIVE poetry challenge. Two - fuck it - three - or four - poets sign up for the duel. They meet on this board at the appointed time. A person chosen to moderate the gunfight (namely, me) will then give the dueling poets a topic to write about and a time limit. As soon as they receive it, they have the specified time (for example, 30 minutes) to create the poem and post it on the thread.

The judges will have 24 hours to deliberate and will award the winner to the poet who:

1) Completes their work in the allotted time, and...
2) Best illustrates the subject matter.

The judges, who volunteer for this job, PM their decisions to the gunfight mod, who will then announce the winner.

***

The gunfight will take place
Sometime during the next 7 days, to be decided.

POET 1: Remec
POET 2: My Erotic Tale
POET 3: Trent_Dutch
POET 4: DeepAsleep

Judges:
- foehn
- WickedEve
- minsue
- neonurotic
- impressive
- CharleyH

I have tendonitis and can't really be expected to be quick on the draw, but I'll volunteer to be a judge if I get an affirmation from anybody else here, and less than 1.5 objections...
 
Fortunately, we've had no problems with the gunfights. :)
I'd volunteer for judge, but I did it last time. Gunfighting... no. God only knows what theme you'll come up with. lol
 
Ya gutless coward... :p

All right, Judge Foehn. :D

AND Judge "Wicked" Eve. You can't get out of it that easily. :D
 
When are you lookin' to have this showdown? I could prolly use the mental exercise...not to mention the adrenaline rush that is sure to come along with it...<g>

Well, once we have both victimes/fierce warriors, we'll choose a date and time convenient for both, but sometime during the next 7 days. :D

Can I write you in? :devil:

Fine. I'm a coward. Hey, did you ever write that dom/sub poem for that challenge from like two years ago?

I got Perks to do it, remember? I'm good at delegating. ;)

Uh... that's not fair. lol
Remec, you're a brave guy.

Hey, you sneaked that last line in. Judge? I sucked at judging. I'd rather be shot. lol

Oh, you're saying you'd rather go up against Remec, uh? :devil:

(Yeah, he took too much time to think about it, so I just went ahead and signed him up)
 
As long as it's not Monday or Tuesday, I can offer myself up as a judge. The caveat being, of course, that I don't know crap about poetry. That's never stopped me before, though. ;)
 
I'd give gunslinging a try, but I'm sure a form rule would get thrown at me and I'd shoot a dud instead. :)

but being a judge might be interesting if you don't have enough volunteers.
 
Ah! There you go. You have neo and min wanting a turn at judging. Let the darlings judge. :)
 
You know I got a wall full of rifles
and can hit a quarter at 100 yds easy
but I bet on this shoot out I couldn't
hit the side of Lit's barn with a 'scatter'
word gun! hehehey

30 minutes to write a poem?

I always say that if the poem don't pour
out of me like flowing water then I
must not be knee deep into the topic <grin>

I'll play!
 
Being a huge fan of William S. Burroughs...... and the impulsive type.... I'm gonna volunteer as a shootist/dueller. If the positions free, I'll take it. So long as it's not 3 minutes to write a poem, but 30minutes.... also, I'm on GMT and hold pretty crazy hours so I'll have to plan around that....

You're brutal. Simply brutal. I like it! :D
:devil:

OK, folks, we have volunteers for all positions. Now I'm too tired, though, so we'll discuss dates and times mañana. :eek:

Trent Dutch, any Burroughs fan has to be a great shot. Welcome to the club. :D

We got all the positions filled, but don't go away. One of these two will be shot dead in no time and we'll have another gunfight next week. I'm pre-registering. ;)

Looks like Art and Trent both want to shoot Remec. Can you do a three way gunfight?

Hm... there's a thought. I say yes. :D
