I work two full time jobs and have less and less time to spend sitting around on ATRL refreshing over and over waiting for the server to work. I put tons of work into running this game, but I do it because I WANT TO - not because I have to. If I only have limited time, I'm always going to put it towards work commitments and real life relationships before ATRL. That's just how I am, and if you find it problematic that I can't update in the time you deem necessary, feel free to move along. Until you've run your own game, I don't think you realize how much time and effort really goes into this.
But, fear not, you'll all get your long awaited update tonight, and maybe can stop with the eyerolls.

Hey, don't take all those posts, eyerolls and gifs for serious. I know we are thirsty for the receipts, but we were just having fun a little bit! I know real life is always before ATRL and I support that. I know you are and older guy who has real life problems and we are just teenagers who have nothing to do through the day and don't take us too seriously!

3rd Class: ENGLISH
Comments from the Faculty:
This week we welcome Dean of Dragging, EdgeOfAddiction to the Faculty!

Marooner: Yeah, the whole number for words thing is lame...but so is this "drag". The fact that you edited it worries me too - if you can't get it right on the first try, a drag is pretty much already dead.
CrazyCat: I get what you were going for with the Mariah "I don't know her" gif, but your drag is rendered meaningless by the train-wreck of a final sentence. If I have to read it five times to figure it out, it just ain't doing it.
Jad: It was ok, maybe verging a bit towards the basic side of things. You got a reaction, so that says something. Please capitalize "i", however, if you want to come across as intelligent.
Barbie: Sending in a post where you talk about *** and glitter in a challenge that asks you to drag with classiness. What?
Blue: I really, really liked this one. I would have liked to see you take it a bit further with some more lines, but the Azealia shade made me chuckle. You showed maturity by not taking it into icky territory, but still punching.
Nicki: "I'm not so sure about your username". With 7 words, you just won this week's challenge in my eyes. That's how it's done.

CrazyCat – Not a drag at all. It was a series of neutral to slightly “mean” statements.
Jad – Your drag wasn't bad at all! Not super strong, but good. You got people reacting to it, and it seemed fairly effortless! Good work!
Barbie – Yeah, I don't get that at all. You kinda went schizophrenic on me, and it just seemed like a messy post trying to be a drag. Not your best work.
Blue – Your drag fell flat unfortunately. It didn't seem as hard hitting as it could have been.
NICKIMINAJ – Like Barbie's, it seemed a bit of a mess. I felt you were right at the precipice of a good drag, and just lost it.

Marooner5: It was a pretty weak drag. I get it, but there's nothing funny or creative about this drag. If I were to read it while just scrolling by, I would forget it the second i left the thread. Overall it just comes off very half-assed and well...boring.
CrazyCat: Very try-hard. I hate drags like this that attempt to be funny/entertaining but just looks like a recycled mess we've already seen 92304 times before. It's like when people use the word "sis" "pressed" "drag ha" and other annoying gay lingo words that should've been left in 2011. And that overused gif really doesn't help the entry either.
JadGhamloush96: This actually wasn't too bad. I was about to mark it as a bad entry until I read your last line. Shading Christina is stale as **** but at least you managed to get 2 members to find it funny which I commend. You're dragging Christina and Demi at the same time but you're doing it in a playful way that nobody gets hurt. Compared to most, this was a good entry.
Su-Barbie-A: If it isn't obvious, you are the clear frontrunner of the competition now. Your entries since week one have always been great and this one is no exception. You brought the receipts out, presented them in a classy way and although your attitude came off a bit snobby/rude you avoided being reported. Great job.
!Blue!: This was more shady than it was a drag. Most people will know that you're shading Azealia but for the one's that don't it'll just leave a big question mark on their face. For dragging purposes, it was terrible. But for shading purposes it wasn't too bad. But yet again your entry doesn't standout from the pack and you're just in the middle (at least for me). Really try to step it up if you make it past this round.
Nicki Minaj: This one was good. I would call this more of a "clock" than a "drag" if that makes sense. Yes you did correct his errors and lies but there's something missing that makes it a "drag" if you get what I mean. Definitely not the worst of the bunch, but I was expecting a little bit more.

This is not a drag. It has potential but the wording of your post lacks a sting. It could sort of pass for shade but it's rather uninteresting and fades into the sea of the other posts. More importantly, "Give It 2 Me" was released in 2008, not 2010. A stronger post would have had "2008" (or earlier) to emphasize just how outdated his style of naming his songs is. Then I realized that he has a song called "Give It 2 U" on his new album and that is probably what you were referencing and not Madonna's "Give It 2 Me." Either way, the inaccuracy and lack of emphasize detracted away from the punch value and wasn't very powerful.
CrazyCat:
This also has potential but this challenge got the best of you. I could see the parts of the post where you added the negativity just to fulfill this challenge. The post didn't flow as one and seemed rather choppy, which ultimately took away from your overall shade. Also, a stronger drag isn't rooted in personal opinion ("Which they clearly won't" and "I can't really blame them...") but on facts. You listing specific chart positions of each band's singles and connecting that with sales/GP recognition would have been much stronger.
Jad:
I'm guessing the second half of your post is supposed to be the "drag" but I'm not really sold on said "drag." I would have much rather preferred you to keep to Demi instead of bringing Legend X into the equation just to make a point. Your post was quoted a couple times but that is due to their dislike of Xtina and not cuz the "drag" was particularly clever. Overall, it was a boring entry and doesn't follow the "mature and witty" guideline boyonce set you up with.
Su-Barbie-A:
I honestly couldn't follow your entry at all. I didn't understand why you brought up "****ing Perfect" (When you didn't even post its video) and that entire second half of the post. I think the gist of it was that you were trying to defend her using what I like to call "stanning by deprecation." This tactic is usually ladened with sarcasm and over the top embellishments and the result is quite funny but that is all for naught when the post itself is unintelligible. Also, submitting an entry with the word, "***," is far from mature or witty.
!Blue!:
I remember letting out a slight chuckle when I first read this post. I'm glad you submitted this as your entry. It was obvious who you were shading with your post but didn't cross into flamebait/trolling territory since she is not really one of the major girls. It could have gone a little harder if you had added a sentence in there embellishing how Iggy was slaying even without all the hype. The wording was decent and it was mature enough.
Nicki Minaj:
The last line stole the spotlight. At first, I was annoyed by it until I realized what the member's username is. It wasn't abrasive or flame bait and wouldn't even be considered off-topic. It was witty and I gave the biggest reaction to this entry. But let's give credit to the rest of your post. You came back with a solid rebuttal with facts and the only thing that could have made this post perfect is if you actually provided a screenshot or a link to when the release date of the track is and a quote of how Tapout is slaying the radios.

5th Class: DEBATE CLUB
Results:
Charm School students, your assignment for Debate Club asked you to show your dragging skills in a way that Charm School would approve - classy, mature, and witty. We asked you to steer clear of messy, immature, and tacky drags and show some intelligence in the way you drag. Here are the results. First name called will be this week's winner...
1. Nicki Minaj
Congrats! You scored highest with the judges on this assignment and are the winner this week!
Who's in second?
2. Jad
3. Blue
4. Barbie
Your entry this week was very weak, but I think your great performance up until now saved you!
CrazyCat and Marooner, you both scored the lowest and are this week's bottom two. But who stays?
5. Marooner!
Which means, sorry to say, that CrazyCat is expelled from Charm School. I think you did an excellent job and should be proud of your journey. You have a little more growing to do, but I have no doubt you'll commit to it and become a better poster than ever! Thanks for taking part.
The rest of you, you've made it through. Talk amongst yourselves. Your next assignment will be up shortly.
Keep it classy.
