Playoffs Round 1 chat and predictions

[Certain]

http://i.imgur.com/HjJpUm4.png


As we have stated all season, seeding for the playoffs was decided based on strength of victory. This was done by calculating win totals for the people each person beat. Vulgar was given the top seed as the season champion, but otherwise all of this was calculated strictly based on that. YDK gets the last spot because he had the best set of three victories among the seven people with three victories.

Round 1:

No. 5 PancakeBrah vs. No. 12 YDK: "You Must Love Me"
No. 6 Frank vs. No. 11 patrown: "Never Change"
No. 7 NYCSPITZ vs. No. 10 breathless: "Coming of Age"
No. 8 Mike Wrecka vs. No. 9 Diode: "Moment of Clarity"

Byes: No. 1 Vulgar, No. 2 Vividlyvague, No. 3 Certain and No. 4 Mr. J.

Battle threads with topics will be posted tonight. I'm going to try to do something nicer looking in Photoshop tonight, too.

Commence discussion and speculation and whatever else you do.

[Certain]

Here's your quick look back at Week 10 results:

Title Match: Vulgar (6-2) won via PancakeBrah (6-2) no-show.
Vividlyvague (7-3) beat Frank (6-4) 5-0.
NYCSPITZ (5-3) beat Certain (7-3) 6-0.
Mr. J (6-4) won via Mike Wrecka (5-5) no-show.
Diode (5-0) beat ThisisDAM (3-1) 5-4.
patrown (4-3) beat Adonis (3-6) 5-3.
breathless (4-5) beat Buddha (3-5) 6-3.
ZYG (3-2) won via Pinot Grij (0-1) no-show.
Mordycai (2-1) beat Nigma (0-2) 6-0.

That left us with seven people holding three wins and one open spot in the playoffs. Who received that bid? That will be revealed in the next 12-or-so hours.

[e11even]

In this bitch. I predict an insane week.

[Certain]

I just finished reading the three no-show verses from this week. I have to say that I think Week 10 featured the best writing of the season.

[Zen]

Just realized I missed one vote last week. My bad.

[ThisisDAM]

Poppycock, guess I'm out...have fun

[Geno]

Have fun. Should be dope

[timeless]

Sorry bout not getting two more votes in was going to at work last niht on my hone but fuuuuck that.

[Diode]

Poppycock, guess I'm out...have fun

Dude you have the least losses out of all the 3 win people and a decent SOS.

[ThisisDAM]

Dude you have the least losses out of all the 3 win people and a decent SOS.

Pretty sure they'll give it to Zyg if he's in.

[Diode]

Pretty sure they'll give it to Zyg if he's in.

Considering I beat you by one vote vs completely trouncing Zyg, one would think you'd have the upper hand there. Dunno if you have had any other like opponents.

[ThisisDAM]

Considering I beat you by one vote vs completely trouncing Zyg, one would think you'd have the upper hand there. Dunno if you have had any other like opponents.

I beat Zyg 7-4 I think. But, I think they like him more. It's cool, I decided to sign up in the league too late, hah

[Diode]

Mike Wrecka

Where the hell did the loss in my record come from?

[Vulgar]

Play offs r overrated.

I say we just keep the regular season going forever.

[King Ra.]

ThisisDAM actually you're record (3-1) is better than ZYG's (3-2) and you also own the tiebreaker over him. So you're more than likely in the playoffs in that last spot.

[Certain]

Mike Wrecka

Where the hell did the loss in my record come from?

Records from this week haven't been updated yet. Were you ever in a fight night or anything?

[PancakeBrah]

Sorry for not voting last week. Horrible weekend for netcees responsibilities. I'll vote on every match this week

[Certain]

I am not going to say anything definitive about the three-wins people and the 12th playoff spot because it's Mike Wrecka's call. But there were seven people with three wins, and the decision will come based on what happened this season rather than a writer's reputation.

[Split]

Play offs r overrated.

I say we just keep the regular season going forever.

[Certain]

Serious question: Would that be such a bad idea? A year-round league broken up by occasional site-wide open tournaments?

I'd love to hear anyone weigh in on this.

Would that prove a disincentive to competing regularly or showing up? That'd be my biggest worry, that no-shows and not voting would be far more common because wins would not be as important.

[PancakeBrah]

I like it, personally. Year long. Person with the best record at the end of the year wins. Like the premiere league.

Shit would be so crazy oh shit brahs

[patrown]

my bad to the participants in battles i missed. i passed out halfway into them.

[patrown]

uh. did i miss playoff sign ups?

[Certain]

You signed up.

[ThisisDAM]

Remember the RSTL. That shit would go like 52 weeks.

Do a 48 week league. Top 8 make playoffs. Have special "boosters" or "enhancements" that can cause people to get strategic with wins/losses.

If you get more than 20 people to do this, you can DO A LOT OF cool shit with IT.

I have ideas, haha

[Certain]

There weren't seasons in the RSTL originally. Records were continual. I think they changed that in the past couple years before it died.

[ThisisDAM]

48 weeks. 12 weeks of 4 different things. Picture, Quote, 1 word, theme week or something

[e11even]

I think it would kill the urgency of voting deadlines and dropping out whenever wouldn't have any real consequences. I had an idea, but it wasn't well thought out, so for once I'll keep it to myself.
















This new keyboard blows.

[Certain]

The more I think about it, the more I agree. A year-round league requires a much deeper entrant pool.

[Split]

The more I think about it, the more I agree. A year-round league requires a much deeper entrant pool.

We have a gigantic entrant pool. It just hasn't been tapped recently.

[Mike Wrecka]

Mike Wrecka

Where the hell did the loss in my record come from?

i can assure you it wasnt me. i will investigate this matter further though

[Certain]

Gigantic? I think the interest in an open tournament will be high. I don't think there are many people who consistently would show and vote in an unending league.

[Mike Wrecka]

and a 48 week league sounds horrible tbh

[YDK]

I say we do a year round league and a tourney every few weeks with the ppl that would be considered playoff contenders and/or a tourney for the bottom half in the rankings. Either way the playoffs should still go as planned right now

[Split]

Gigantic? I think the interest in an open tournament will be high. I don't think there are many people who consistently would show and vote in an unending league.

I think it is complicated to predict but either way would get repetitive and boring

[Vulgar]

I just wanna be 162-2 as the new champ.

Let a ninja eatttt

jk

[Certain]

Matchups are posted in the OP. Threads will go up tonight.

[Certain]

And since I'm sure there is interest in this, I'll post the breakdown for the three-win glut and why YDK landed the final spot. The number next to the competitor's name is how many wins were racked up by the people they beat. This was the method we've said we would use all season.

YDK, 9 - Mike Wrecka, Buddha and Scripter
Just Write, 8 - Mike Wrecka, Objective and Aesthetic.
Innovator, 8 - breathless, YDK and Scripter.
ThisisDAM, 7 - ZYG, symetrik and King Ra.
Zenland, 7 - Innovator, symetrik and King Ra.
Adonis, 4 - Buddha, Clutter Buck and Fig.
ZYG, 3 - Mordycai, Genocide and Pinot Grij.

[Certain]

And finally, to keep people abreast of the situation, Mike Wrecka is taking a brief leave of moderating duties but approved all of this.

I'm the guy you can bitch to now, if you're so inclined.

(Three in a row.)

[Certain]

If anyone would like to contribute to the magazine, let me know.

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE DRUGS RABBLE

Lol wtf YDK is one seed

[Certain]

Attention: PancakeBrah, YDK, Frank, patrown, NYCSPITZ, breathless, Mike Wrecka and Diode.

Do you want picture, phrase or quote topics this round? First choice to get two votes will be the answer.

[breathless]

I prefer phrases

[patrown]

phrases, please.

So, my character stole someone's coffee last week. i read it for the first time yesterday.
interesting experience.

[YDK]

Phrases lol

[YDK]

I just realized I only got 3 wins....but didn't I beat zenland also?

[Certain]

Buddha is Zenland.

And phrases it is. Battles will be up after I wipe the floor with some fools in bar trivia.

[Mr. J]

Heads will roll once Pauly Shore is ready

[Certain]

Over/under on Mr. J open mic verses this week while he awaits his opponent in the league?

[YDK]

I knew that...just kidding lol
I'm bout to eat some chicken Alfredo an get some sleep. I quit smoking 3 days ago so I don't quite know wtf to do now instead of smoking after I eat :/

[breathless]

Try whip cream farting

[timeless]

I used to love the RSTL back in the day simply cuz I could sign in and sign out at any point in the year without any consequences. This would be dope to do here. You should put some heavy thought into it certain

[Certain]

This site is not as active as RapMusic. I think the seasonal thing works better, though Season 3 may be 16 weeks.

Anyway, no one wants to make predictions? I'll start, with no explanations because I'm headed out.

NYCSPITZ vs. breathless
Frank vs. patrown
PancakeBrah vs. YDK
Mike Wrecka vs. Diode

The fourth battle is clearly the most evenly matched on paper, but I've seen YDK and patrown throw down some vicious verses in the past that easily could beat PancakeBrah and Frank, and breathless has really improved.

[PancakeBrah]

Watchout your comments bro

[Certain]

Are you going all-in? This is important for the magazine.

Also, it'd be great if someone did an interview for the magazine.

[ThisisDAM]

blargggggggggh

[PancakeBrah]

Yes.

Yes I am.

[ThisisDAM]

tbh, a 1 day battle for a tie breaker for all with 3 wins would have sufficed.

[Certain]

tbh, a 1 day battle for a tie breaker for all with 3 wins would have sufficed.

Seven people?

[zygote]

If you don't want to write the Certain's Corner for the review I could write for you the Zygote's Zone. The topic could be: On the Synthesis of Concept and Style (now with more ass). I would follow your format for the review of 3 submissions using a humorous conversational banter.

[e11even]

That could be in a write night format. One topic, seven verses, 16 bars max.

[ThisisDAM]

Seven people?


Yes.........but I only say this because I'm not in playoffs, haha I'll come back around next season, I'll keep an eye out

[Mr. J]

Interview?

[Mr. J]

Fix my travesty of a record I entered with 4 Ls and 4 Ls were given here
I should be 9-8 idk whose toying with the records

[YDK]

Yes.

Yes I am.

Then it will be an honor to knock you out of the playoffs in the first round after my brief hiatus

[Zen]

As the reigning People's Champ, I've already won.

[YDK]

No....no yo haven't.

[Zen]

You watch your tone.

[YDK]

Even my daughter mocks you


Jk

I missed you :(

[YDK]

Even my daughter mocks you

[Zen]

I missed me too :(

[PancakeBrah]

YDK I rebuke you.

[e11even]

ÝDK your offspring is gorgeous. Tell the fam I said wattup. BTW I would love ta see you dethrone a higher tier competitor. That shit would make my season. I honestly wanted Buddha ta do it, but...

I'm gonna drop my thoughts on the 1st round match ups, those who got in and those who missed out, plus power rankings and 1st round predictions. I have much to say.


But good luck you bastards.

Umm... we have some of that covered already in the magazine.

Much already has been written.

If you want to help, an interview would be the biggest need, but the bracket examination would be good. Another set of predictions would be OK, but Mike Wrecka already is doing those in video format. We don't need power rankings; I'm halfway done with those.

[Diode]

Record still 5 and 1. :/

[Mike Wrecka]

Record still 5 and 1. :/

diode you never lost a battle on this site?

I remember you lost a tag match. is that correct? maybe they just got around to updating the records from the tag team tourney?

Always good to have more than one opinion. Do your piece and they'll add it to the mag.

[ThisisDAM]

I was going to write a piece for the mag called Why I Should Get the Last Spot, just to be funny about it. But, seems late for that now, haha

[Certain]

King Ra., what's up with these magazine contributions? I need them today.

Mike Wrecka, are you doing the video thing today?

[King Ra.]

I will send you my portion later today.

[Certain]

King Ra. and Mike Wrecka, my parts of the magazine will be ready by midnight. Hopefully yours will be, as well?

[NYCSPITZ]

WHERE IS THE MAG????????????

[PancakeBrah]

NYC is the cocoa butter killer.

My parts (totaling something like 10,000 words) will be done in 30 minutes. I have no idea where King Ra.'s stuff is at.

[Mike Wrecka]

[Certain]

No worries. King Ra., any thoughts?

Does anyone else want to do predictions?

[NYCSPITZ]

Vulgar, Vividlyvague and Mr. J, any or all of you want to collaborate since we're off this week? Maybe 16 lines, something deep or something like that?

[Mr. J]

I'm game Certain


brainstorm a topic and get the others in on it

[e11even]

Time to sharpen up. Im in Certain

[Certain]

Waiting on Vulgar. I'll write something tonight and send it to y'all. Just sort of a fun abstract type deal, nothing too conceptual or specific.

[Certain]

Also, PancakeBrah or new administrator Mike Wrecka, change the forum description to reflect Vulgar as champion and the playoffs as commenced.

[Vulgar]

Yup send a verse over.

[Mike Wrecka]

the AOWL playoffs are starting the same time as most Fantasy Football league playoffs.

it just feels right this way

[Mike Wrecka]

and @everyone , sorry for my absence. I have some monumental stuff happening in my life atm.



but I will be in full effect here moving forward. next week I will be posting battles and giving topics.

[YDK]

I'm feeling good bout my verse, actually took my time and thought shit out and enjoyed writing it lol

[PancakeBrah]

I'm feeling good bout my verse, actually took my time and thought shit out and enjoyed writing it lol

PM it to me. I'll give you some feedback.

Already done?

[YDK]

Yeah I been working on it nonstop since I saw the topic last night lol an sorry cake thanks to Frank I trust nobody

[PancakeBrah]

Frank has that effect on people. I was just joshin' around.

[YDK]

I assumed lol I'm hoping I didn't go out of my comfort zone too far wit this but I never battled you cake. Figured I'd listen to the magazine an not be conservative lmao

[e11even]

My nigga *best denzel voice*

[YDK]

Wats good vivid?
Anybody else gonna get hit wit this giant ice an snow storm? I said fuck it I ain't going into work today lol 3 day weekend whoooo!

[PancakeBrah]

-10 degrees here. Expected to be -25 to -40 tomorrow morning

[Zen]

I'm in the middle of an ice storm right now. Came to the campus to turn in a paper with the roads completely frozen. Not a good day.

[Diode]

might hit 80 again today.

[YDK]

Damn where the hell you all live lol

[Zen]

Mississippi. People down here freak out when any ice shows up. It's kinda funny.

[Certain]

I live outside Washington, DC. It's 50 degrees and miserable. Drizzling rain is worse than a torrential downpour in my opinion.

[Zen]

Well it's just over thirty right now and pouring down rain (not snow for some reason) so I gots to disagree with you man. This is miserable.

[Zen]

And I'm in Burger King reading and listening to old people talk about Marilyn Monroe. Apparently JFK killed that bitch. Idk if y'all know that or not.

[Certain]

Well, here's my logic: When it's pouring rain, I can avoid doing anything outside. When it's drizzling, I am expected to man the fuck up and do things like a normal person.

[Zen]

Don't man up. Just do nothing all the time. If people realized this actually is a posibility, the world would be amazing.

[Certain]

I try. I really need to stop having friends.

[Zen]

I know that feeling. Believe me.

[Diode]

Damn where the hell you all live lol

[PancakeBrah]

Fargo ND

[Zen]

Cake do you talk like everyone does on the movie Fargo? I really hope so. I'm gonna read your verses in that accent from now on.

[YDK]

Damn I'm jealous of everybody except cakes location...an fuck Michigan lol its freezing rain right now an has been since this morning. But I agree with certain I fuckin detest drizzle....except the Carmel drizzle on McDonald's frappe thingys. That drizzle is astounding

We always seem to get crazy luck with the storms, especially in Lansing 'cause of the pressure change over lake Michigan, usually ends up splitting right around us, sucks for the gardening season though

[PancakeBrah]

Cake do you talk like everyone does on the movie Fargo? I really hope so. I'm gonna read your verses in that accent from now on.

No I don't have that Minnesota accent. I moved here as an adult. I do have it on certain words every once in awhile just through being around it so much.

Well fuck. I'm still gonna read your verses that way. Ya.

[Certain]

PancakeBrah, your avatar inspired me to listen to that album today for the first time. I like this one.

Also, YouTube's next suggestion for me was Antlers' Hospice.

[YDK]

I get sick to my stomach every time I hear think or see the word hospice

[PancakeBrah]

PancakeBrah, your avatar inspired me to listen to that album today for the first time. I like this one.

Also, YouTube's next suggestion for me was Antlers' Hospice.

I listened to Hospice, by itself, for two weeks straight during one point of my life. I listen to some of their other releases more nowadays but I think that's just due to burnout. Probably my favorite band.

[Certain]

I like Antlers a lot, Hospice more than the newer stuff, too. I only brought it up because I felt like YouTube was channeling me into the mind of PancakeBrah.

I'd heard other stuff by Low before but never that album. It was much richer and more interesting. I think some bands sort of define themselves by what makes them unique, which then leads them further and further away from the heart of great music.

Also, I thought of one you might not have heard of: Laurel Halo. I'm not sure she's up your alley, as she's a little on the electronic side but not dance music.

[Certain]

And for anyone who is wondering what the fuck we're talking about, just listen to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQwkbRVqqxU

[PancakeBrah]

Hospice is better than Burst Apart but Burst Apart has some flat out 10/10 songs. For some reason I really enjoy Undersea EP.

[Certain]

I edited this in to my other post, but you might not have seen it since you responded so very quickly:

Also, I thought of one you might not have heard of: Laurel Halo. I'm not sure she's up your alley, as she's a little on the electronic side but not dance music.

[Mike Wrecka]

you guys listen to a lot of music. I do not anymore.

even in the car its all sports talk radio ninety percent of the time

[breathless]

I usually have my car radio on the MSU college station, they have different genres everynight after 8pm or so, folk, blues, death metal, indie, and even a local hip hop show, I actually got had a friend guest djing one night and he jokingly did a diss track against as per my request like 8 years ago... Aside from that I mostly listen to lesser known classic rock and underground electronic stuff

Good music still is around. Who's your favorite musician or act, Mike Wrecka?

[Certain]

Mr. J, Vividlyvague and Vulgar hated my collab verse and refuse to play with me. That's fine.

[Split]

Hey Cake. I was [humanoidActivity] the other day when I heard [knownBandOfInterestSourcedFromPostHistory]. It was [vaguelyAffirmativeModifier] good. Do you like [stronglyCorrelatedMusicalAct]?

[Mike Wrecka]

Good music still is around. Who's your favorite musician or act, Mike Wrecka?

out of people that are making music right now. I couldn't name a single one that i enjoy. aside from hip hop artists from the 90s that are still cranking out records on independent labels. like prodigy , noreaga , sean price and various wu tang artists.

all the new hip hop artists don't do anything for me. im more into a style like dmx than emo rap like drake. in essence i really only like NY rap tbh.

bands wise, rock doesn't even exist anymore imo. that shit out now aint rock. i was big into GNR, Motley Crue, and later Korn, Linkin Park, Weezer, 311, Rage Against the Machine, Papa Roach but ya that was a long time ago



its sad to say but i listen to top 40 now mainly. i did buy the last black eyed peas album and enjoyed it thoroughly and also will.i.am's solo stuff but a lot of that is because i can play them with my kids in the car


i don't even have the local rap stations programed into my radio in my car

[Zen]

Mike you gotta check out Bronson. The mans a beast.

[Certain]

Yeah, you'd probably like Action Bronson.

[Zen]

Saab Stories is my favorite album from him, but blue chips 2 is growing on me and might take the top spot soon. Been listening to that and Acid Rap by Chance lately. Modern rap is getting more interesting I think. Rappers aren't taken themselves as seriously as they did in the 90's which is a nice change to me.

[Certain]

Blue Chips is my favorite.

[Zen]

First or second? Haven't downloaded one yet.

[Mike Wrecka]

Action Bronson is cool. ive heard a lot of his guest appearances on other peoples stuff and enjoyed them. never actually listened to a whole album from him though. ill give it a go

[Certain]

The first Blue Chips. The second was more uneven. Saab Stories didn't do it for me.

[Zen]

I'll check it out. Saab Stories is fuckin dope though. I'm disappointed in you Certain.

[Certain]

I'd say:

1. Blue Chips
2. Dr. Lecter
3. Rare Chandeliers
4. Blue Chips 2
5. Well-Done
6. Saab Stories
7. Bon Appetit ... Bitch

Saab Stories seemed like he was trying to be edgy. I'm nervous about his first studio album. He's a better fit for the mixtape game.

[Zen]

Agree about his first cd. Little nervous on what he'll do, but I've got faith.

[NYCSPITZ]

is there exts til monday or na?

[Certain]

Yes, there will be extensions upon request.

[breathless]

NYCSPITZ extension granted, if my engrantal is needed, sorry about the delay, been playing GTA v and hadn't checked the site recently... But, really though, its the playoffs, IMO, extensions shouldn't be allowed

[Certain]

Why would that rule be changed?

[Pent uP]

People forget that extensions are at rhe discretion of their opponents

[Certain]

People forget that extensions are at rhe discretion of their opponents

But they aren't.

[YDK]

Mu dude bought a hundred dollar bottle of patron an on drink as fuck lol

[breathless]

They should be at the opponents discretion, but there's no rule as such, although, as it's the playoffs, I think people should be on the ball and not be allowed any extra time. Honestly, I don't think extensions should be allowed at all, ever, especially now, it just cuts into voting time. Not that it'll matter in my case, I'm pretty sure nyc is going to end up winning, regardless, I believe he hasn't actually started writing yet, so its not like he's being given extra time to craft a masterpiece, its more of just extra time to shit out some nyc awesomesauce rather than possibly getting the deadline pressure nerves and being forced to drop something mediocre.

Mu dude bought a hundred dollar bottle of patron an on drink as fuck lol

I bought a twelve dollar 18 pack of labatt blue light on rollback at walmart and I'm gettin there

[Certain]

Honestly, I don't like extensions either. But it's the site policy. And it's not upon approval because that would be a fucking mess of technicalities. It has to either be upon request or not at all.

I have suggested a two-vote penalty, but for no logical reason, that was dismissed.

[YDK]

So I gotta call that my dad had a heart attack. When I'm drunk as shit. Fuck it I ain't driving ta knjow hospitackl

A 2 vote penalty would definitely be thwarting. But approval technicalities could be stymied by something like, the extension request has to have the opponent mentioned so its less likely to be missed, and if there's no response within 24 hours its automatically granted, and extensions can't be requested within 24 hours of the deadline. Boom soblem proved!

And YDK that fucking sucks man, I hope it's just minor... But admittedly, I still lmaoed at "knjow hospitackl" I can understand the j and k addition given close proximity to other letters, but, how the fuck did that c sneak in there?

[YDK]

Lmao my left thumb going retardd wheb I trying EP correct my other thumb mistake I guess

That's a lot of shit to keep track of and would lead to a lot of bitterness. A two-vote penalty ensures extensions are available but also makes them less desirable.

[breathless]

Ah, gotcha, I had that problem with my phone to, then it developed a dead spot line straight across the right side in landscape mode, but its just between the two bottom keyboard rows when vertical so I always type one thumbed. Fuckin sucks for Words With Friends though, I can't exchange tiles anymore

It wouldn't be much to keep track of, really it would be easier to keep track of, I mean, as it is now the mods have to notice the extension request arbitrarily, if mentions were required it would go like...

Extensioner posts: Hey @opponent @mod I need an extension
Opponent replies: ok (or doesn't within 24 hours)

[King Ra.]

The fuck.

[Zen]

Sorry to hear that YDK. Hope all is well.

[YDK]

Thanks bro, I ain't heard Shit since last night an Im snowed in so can't even get to the hospital

[Certain]

PancakeBrah, Mike Wrecka, Diode, Frank and patrown, here's your friendly reminder that the deadline for verses (or extension requests) is in 9 hours, 43 minutes.

[Zen]

Damn that's a fucked up situation YDK. I'm hoping for the best my friend.

Btw, Certain I saw you check out my OM last night and you didn't feed. Not cool, bro. Not cool.

[Certain]

It was too long for my tired eyes. I'll get to it tomorrow or maybe tonight.

[Zen]

Rad. I forgot to drop feed on your paragraph collab but didn't you drop one awhile back? If so I'll get that one.

[Certain]

Vividlyvague and I (possibly along with Mr. J and Vulgar) will be dropping something tomorrow, too.

[Zen]

Sounds dope. I'm angry I wasn't included in that but I'll feed.

[YDK]

Its crazy how we got a week to write an post in the chat thread but ppl still need extensions. Its the playoffs, take it serious and just write the verse lol

[breathless]

Certain NYC's extension applies to me as well right? I can drop now if not, been done for a couple days but I'd like to post relatively the same time... And I keep rereading it and making slight changes

[PancakeBrah]

Extensions work as they have all season. You get the extension, too.

[breathless]

Just makin sure, I've never used the extension before, always post early

YDK exactly my thoughts broskie... How's your dad?

[Mike Wrecka]

like seriously

[Diode]

i only work well under strict deadlines in case you haven't noticed.

[Certain]

Probably the two worst verses I wrote this season were the two times I waited until the extension deadline to write. (In both cases, my opponents requested the extension and I could have written before it.)

[Mike Wrecka]

Probably the best verse I wrote this season was the Super Mario adaptation.

I love that verse

[Certain]

That was the best verse you wrote this season. It also didn't have anything to do with the topic.

[Mike Wrecka]

that was the verse I was going to use against Frank I believe. the topic was like game over or something. then he no showed. would have been epic.

figured I could spin it with the pizza pie amore shit against YDK. didn't work

[Certain]

Ahh, I never read that verse when you messaged it to me. That actually makes sense now.
Frank, why did you no-show that week?

[King Ra.]

Post bitches.

[Certain]

There's a battle open to vote on, King Ra.

[King Ra.]

I'll handle that right after I finish up with some BA obligations.

[YDK]

Ugh somebody give me a smoke

[PancakeBrah]

Ugh somebody give me a smoke

Why?

[YDK]

Both kids driving me nuts an got my ex calling me from jail ta post bail for her an my dad on the other line from the hospital talking bout the ekg on his heart came back sounding abnormal. Fuckin quitting smoking I gotta cig in one hand an a joint in the other

[PancakeBrah]

That's pretty intense, actually.

[YDK]

Welcome to my life. You shoulda heard the shit I was going through back when my mom was dying smh I don't get many breaks

[King Ra.]

Frank's posting in 3 hours & 4 minutes to be exact.

[Split]

There's a battle open to vote on, King Ra.

once I leave the room, they be like DOOM DOOM DOOM

[Certain]

Rebecca Black made a new song, called "Saturday." It's a very different kind of terrible than "Friday," a much more competent and depressing sort.

Aside: She's 16, for whatever that's worth.

[King Ra.]

Well damn. That is all.

[Certain]

Diode and Frank, you have 83 minutes.

[Diode]

Certain, you have a PM.

[Certain]

Yep. I'm posting them both right now.

[Certain]

Now everyone is going to think MF DOOM battled himself, which was sort of the point of the Viktor Vaughn track on Madvillainy.

[Diode]

Time Enough at Last (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last), eh Mike Wrecka?

[King Ra.]

Frank no show? Say it aint so! 50 minutes.

[Certain]

Frank's posted maybe twice all season before the final hour.

[King Ra.]

Rebecca Black will have good boob size.

[Diode]

Rebecca Black will have good boob size.

permanent duckface. and will be fat. mark it.

[Certain]

She's probably peaking right now. By the time she's 20, she'll be a wash.

[King Ra.]

Lol. Extra cushion.

[patrown]

o_0

[Diode]

Lol frank editing after deadline again

Never gonna learn..

[patrown]

i'm not one to pore over p's and (d)q's.

[Certain]

The ruling is that Frank is allowed to edit his verse until the first vote is dropped because he posted second (unlike against PancakeBrah) and will not be disqualified for length because patrown has permitted his excess.

I would not have been so kind.
