Week 7 Chat and Predictions

[Split Eight]

.

[YDK]

Yay I'm chatting

[YDK]

BTW how you get a contender match with 1 win lol

[Split Eight]

BTW how you get a contender match with 1 win lol
It was a toss up between you three.


Sign-ins are automatically not eligible, and neither are people who just lost a champ match or a contender's match.

Preference is given to momentum, and no one with a loss last week was an obvious shoo in. That leaves the following people from this week's active roster with a win last week:

Clutbuck (win against nigma)
Nigma (loss to Clutbuck)
POET MiNDER (loss to timeless)
timeless (win against POET MiNDER
2tripple0 (NS win)
YDK (win against Ullr)

Ranking the winning contestants by overall wins, as per the AOWL Playoff seeding guidelines we have

Clutbuck, YDK, 2tripple0, timeless

at a tie.

2tripple0's lone NS win isnt going to cut it this week.

YDK had the strongest opponent by record, but was also coming off of a loss from last week.

YDK and Timeless both have more battles on record, but both only cast one vote apiece while Clutbuck voted on every single battle. Clutbuck and Timeless both won by a similar margin. Timeless had more battles than YDK, cast same number of votes as him, had the better vote differential-- Timeless gets first slot.

Between YDK and Clutbuck for second spot, Clutbuck met vote requirements, had the more decisive vote differential, and both had a one win streak.

Figure I'd give you one of the six grudge matches you requested in the chat thread, and you're also in line for next week's contenders. Keep winning and you'll get your shot.

[YDK]

Cool thanks for breaking that down for me, I wasn't sure what the tiebreaker would be an didn't think of the vote differential. I thought it would be me an clut for it just because less losses plus grudge match but I understand now lol
Seriously thanks for breaking that down so well

[Split Eight]

No problem. It normally wouldn't be that complicated/ convoluted but there's been a lot of brief sign-ins this season keeping most members' records unusually low

It's why we wait the four weeks before starting up Contenders matches, because these sort of 'win strength' metrics aren't as clear cut as they should be, and developing a full-blown points system to account for everything is way beyond me (I tried in Excel)

It's something to avoid relying on, regardless. Another reason for you all to stay signed in until the end of the season (:

[YDK]

Yessir I usually try to atleast build up a strong enough record to make playoffs before signing out till they come around lol as much as I enjoy writing I get burnt out on specific topics pretty quickly an end up writing flatly if I go a whole season before the playoffs start an I lose by first round

[sral]

Could someone message me when topics are edited in?

I'm working all weekend

[Split Eight]

heading out to pick up an ikea desk. If Dancake has topics up before then, cool, otherwise I will when I get back

[Adonis]

If you could do previews that would be the biggest help (and throwback verse if you want) I can do the rest.

[Mr. J]

everyone is just going to beg for an ext anyway



writing or voting...smh

[sral]

Hahaha I write pretty quick but it doesn't leave a lot of turnaround time

ain't we used to get a week to write/post?

[Woke]

Hahaha I write pretty quick but it doesn't leave a lot of turnaround time

ain't we used to get a week to write/post?



Post topics man

Mod or not this is the peoples league and can be governed fairly and unbiased by its competitors

My thoughts anyways

[UnbornBuddha]

The weekend is really the only time nowadays I have time to write. So it's kind of disappointing that the topics have not been posted yet because it might be hard for me to find time during the weekdays to write. Oh well, let's see what happens. I'm glad to see the league active though.

[YDK]

Word I'd say let it be a free topic week but that shit never works out plus its harder to find a topic for myself than it is to figure an angle out on one given to me

[UnbornBuddha]

Free topics would be nice, problem is that someone might post a piece they've been working on for a while.

[YDK]

Yeah exactly and I don't have shit written so I'd prefer not to face somebody that has a month long project going lol

[asylum]

whatwhat

[YDK]

In your butt

[sral]

Free topics would be nice, problem is that someone might post a piece they've been working on for a while.

this my thoughts exactly

[Clutbuck]

Dancake someone said you're selecting topics this week bruh!

[sral]

Do we get a league-wide extension or this still due tomorrow Dr Dog?

[YDK]

It's due in 30 mins
Go

[sral]

lmao it wasn't due til tomorrow 8am here anyway, but from when topics went up it only left -24 hours

I'm guessing everyone will get the ext?

[Woke]

I'm posting tomorrow.

Give me one hour notice and three beers and I'm good

Does anyone else have problems writing high?

I cant do it. Tried. I can listen to music on that shit and pick up soo much more though. Just can't think as freely.

[Nigma]

[YDK]

[YDK]

[UnbornBuddha]

So, when are these due, tomorrow? If so, I might not be able to post, I just don't have the time, oh well, things are as they are.

[Adonis]

Weird week competitors

Sorry I haven't been around as much as I should

I know there are plenty of people who outright don't like me modding, but I am here to stay for the betterment of the league, with or with out your blessing. I will help out more in the coming weeks because I have this simple philosophy I live by

I write every single day, that shit clears my mind
If others can not do the same I can easily step out side of that box and make sure you bitches can enjoy the ride

and so it is

[YDK]

You shut your slut mouth when you talk to me Adonis
You fuckin beautiful disaster of a mod
I expect a smooth ride from here out or I will eat all of your cotdamn brownies

[Adonis]

I hate brownies

Even as a kid, and now as an adult, I hate sweets

What a weird child I was. Hated Cake, cupcakes, brownies, chocolate..Ironic, I fucking loved gummy bears though.

So please, help your self to my brownies, unless they have a high THC content I don't care, and even then, sharing is caring so enjoy the trip my friend.

[YDK]

Mmmm gummi bears
The red ones were always my favorite, and the pineapple ones lol
But yeah cake was never really my thing either but I love ice cream cookies an brownies as long as I got milk of course

[Clutbuck]

No worries.

Just may as well scrap this week off, give people their wins/losses and keep it moving.

Good to have you back Adonis!

[YDK]

It'd be really nice to know if Witty is showing or not

[Clutbuck]

TBH I love Witty but he no-showed the LGPA this week too, even after having an extension.

I don't think he's around bro.

[UnbornBuddha]

Hmmmm.... Hopefully, more people post tonight, but I get it if they can't, it's hard sometimes to find the time.

[Adonis]

Ext. Over but only one battle is open

Was going to close shit split, but not sure what you do because some verses are clearly no show verses and deserve the win.

I'm down with letting the one battle open along with feed for other artists so we can get back on track. Leave it to you though.

Dr Dog

[Frank]

I got til 3AM Eastern time

Not quite sure what you mean haha

Getting no-showed sucks, but let's close those battles, feature no show verses in the magazine, and direct voters to the open battles

[sral]

respect timeless for showing!!!!

the rest of you guys AT LEAST got to vote on these open battles though

ALL you who no showed as a penalty or w/e to make up for you ghosting


come on!!!!

[Frank]

Wait a second

I got my topic 24 hours after the thread went up. Making verses due on Tuesday, instead of Monday - therefore deeming the extension valid for Wednesday.

Open the battle so that I may post.

Your blunder should not negatively impact the entire league.

@Mr J

I don't see anywhere that is says verses are due any certain amount of time after the topic is given. It says they are due on Monday at midnight plus a 24 hour extension. That's Tuesday midnight

[Split Eight]

Verses are always due on the date stated in the original post of the battles. Extensions are always relative to that date. It says right there when verses are due to be considered on-time bar none to avoid this kind of confusion

[Frank]

Dude you deprived me of a very valuable 24 hours, during in which time I had no idea what I was suppose to write to. Nothing was assigned, Do you know not see my argument?

Your half assed moderating has robbed me of a come back victory.

[YDK]

You got more weeks to get those w's frank

Why close battles with 2-3 votes when new ones aren't even being posted?

[sral]

To be real, NC is struggling right now mods wise.

Anyone down to help out and fix the problem?

We've all seen this isn't working. Sharp can't do it all. Mr. J Nigma Godcomplex

[Nigma]

sraL

In my uneducated opinion its goes deeper than being a mod problem. Attendance has been the shits in the few weeks I've been back so I don't blame Sharp for showing anymore interest in things than the majority of the league. I mean we got people signing up, just need them to show up, and maybe our Mod will.

In saying that, I'd like to help the league and the site out however I'm going to have a lot going on for the next couple weeks, been struggling to get my verses/votes in. Down the road I'd love to help contribute tho for realsies.

[timeless]

I'll help as soon as Oct. 1st gets here, until then I can't barely process a thought.

[Adonis]

Sorry guys. I notified all mods I was unavailable for this entire week due to being on vacation with no comp. Access. I'll be back next week.


King Ra. Don't suppose you're available to set match ups for one week right now? Dancake Certain Vulgar Innovator

Anyone? Lars?

[Nigma]

Alternatively taking a week off wouldn't be the end of the world. It's a long weekend anyways, people are busy.

[Inno]

I'm only mod of the RMBVA/NC battle forum. It's beyond my remit.

[Pinot Grij]

I disagree and contend that a lack of organization keeps participants away - or makes them feel like it's ok to no-show since it appears as though even the people at the helm don't give a shit. Late matchups/no mag/etc. When there's good organization, there's good attendance.

[UnbornBuddha]

I myself believe it is a matter of both parties working, in a symbiotic relationship, to establish and uphold the proper structure and functioning of this and any organization.

I'm a bit perplexed of why Sharp is being mentioned when Split is the regulator of this whole thing. Albeit, I don't blame Split, this week was supposed to have very promising matchups with vets coming to the forefront, and what came about was an anticlimax. For many of us it is not easy to show up, but prioritizing this over other past times is a must, if we want the league to continue with the writers and mods not becoming dispassionate about participating.
