I wasn't "hoping" anything. There's a reason why I asked if he wanted to post early. If he said yes, I would have posted first then too. He said no. I posted 16 hours before the deadline, went 60 lines over the original 28.

At that rate, 4 lines an hour would have gotten him to match me. It's not like I logged on and at 11:58 I posted a verse. I asked if he wanted to drop early, he said no. I posted 16 hours before the deadline anyway.
