The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Started by RE: Blaxican3,287 pages

Reading that little excerpt at the bottom again, I find myself not nearly as impressed. His writing is too... I don't know, sophisticated? It feels distant. Even while reading through it, it was difficult to shake the feeling that this was nothing more then a story written by some scholar with too much time on his hands.

Of course, that might just be the alleged ADHD talking.

The final post on that page is almost certainly meant to evoke that feeling. Look at the perspective from which it is written.

Rhetoricians use tone for effect just as intentionally as they do content. Publius is nothing if not effective.

He's a god.

Spoiler:
His Batman fiction, You Know My Name: A Tale of Gotham Nights is incredible.

Robben had two amazing chances and he dicked both of them up.

Holy hell another dive awarded, red card. I really thought the American ref had dives figured out, I was wrong. What a ****ing moron.

Edit: And yet another dive and yellow card. This American moron is two for two.

Spain won 2010 World Cup!!!

Well, the final symbolized the recurring theme of the World Cup. A lot of acting and referee blunders. Very disappointing World Cup.

I guess he's nothing then. 😐

Stop being an asshat, Blax.

I love you

You have absolutely no clue about fighting basic psychologyexcellent writing, do you?

Publius is good but he's no Apollo Cloud.

It's hard for me to figure it out when Publius is all I have. 🙁

You go back to trolling and leave the assessment of excellent writing to the rest of us. 😂 😂 😂

Spoiler:
u see wut i did thar

No. 🙁

Explain it to me. Like you would to a child.

As the resident writer, I'm going say Blax is oblivious to good writing. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a tragic consequence of attending the California public school system.

I'm also several shades browner then the average American.

I'm sure that must have something to do with it.

Though in all seriousness, not really. I enjoy your writing more then his.

My writing? Where have you read my writing? I'm genuinely curious since I never get much feedback.

As a (privately schooled) resident of california, i find this humorous.

Rise of Chaos, stories that come to mind are... The Goat/Gottland ( Can't remember which it was at the moment) Woman and Darkness and Fire. The reason why I've never left you any feedback is because, one: I'm a lazy bastard, and for that I apologize, and two: I feel that I've got no business really critiquing other people's work, to their face at least.

... you do know that I'm Mr. Pink, right? 😐
