AOWL Playoffs Sign Ups.

[Adonis]

Well for now its good @Mike Wrecka

I'm still going to give it until at least tomorrow to work some shit out as well as in the hopes that another name or two signs in.

Maybe even Keith

Do need assistance on either a concept for topics or topics in general.

Was thinking of actual songs writen as topicals where we use there topic as ours. Will send example in a bit

[Adonis]

Also do we want traditional brackets like NBA or re-seeding like NHL?

[trap.]

it's unoriginal now but i always liked picture topics over worded ones

you can get a lot more out of a (good) picture than some weird quote and what-not

plus there are a multitude of great artists on the internet now-a-days, you can get them from where ever.

[TYSON]

Would sign in but internet is down and don't know when I will have again...

Agreed...Also Loved a average Pic over a Great Quote any day.

Although I pride myself on being able to write on any given topic so I never cared either way

do your thing bro

sharp nine just modded you

[Mike Wrecka]

I always liked the brackets to be NCAA tournament style with no re-seeding, that's my vote

[Pent uP]

First of all - platinum conference is stacked

Second of all frank is titanium not platinum conference champ

Third of all wheres franks props for first champ of the league

Lastly and not leastly wheres zygotes props for most champ defenses

My accomplishment is far less impressive then theirs

[IamBenT]

That is very noble of you, Pohfig.

Word@ stacked platinum conference lol

Idk how double no-shows work. cuz I had one there at the end of the season, not sure if its gonna count or what? really did mean to drop in that battle just... hated that topic lol

I would say pics over quotes too but... the only pic battle this season was my first real loss so lol... Quotes it is

I say the division champs get byes, and the rest of us be lined up by records. then have at it. don't over complicate it.

Also, will it be one and done or double elim?? lol

[IamBenT]

I don't see why we can't run sixteen with a side pool of emergency cats who can break in if it looks like we're getting no-showed.

Wasn't it going to be 8 division winners and best 8 records after that?? That way, division champs mean something? So it would look like this, i think

Division Champs

Patrown (4-3) 1 no-show Black Division Champion
Mike Wrecka (7-5) Blue Division Championson
Frank (6-5) 3 no-show (3x Champion 2 Title Defense) Green Div.
Nigma (5-5)Purple Div. Champ

Zygote (10-2) (4x Champion 3 Title Defense)Red Div. Champ
Adonis (6-3) White Div. Champ
Pohfig (8-3) (1x Champion 0 Title Defense) Yellow Division Champ
Red Glare (7-4) 2 no-show Orange Div. Champ

The Best of the Rest

ZeeDee (5-3) 1 no-show (1x Champion 0 Title Defense)
King Ra. (5-3) 2 no-show
Objective (5-4) 1 no-show
IamBenT (7-3) 2 no-show
Zenland (7-6)
TopicalDood5 (4-2) 1 no-show
Vulgar (3-1)


and we should have a three way to see who gets the last spot in between these:
Cereal Killa (3-2) 1 no-show
Split (5-5) 2 no-show
Vinzr (3-2)

This is if we were to just go by records. I don't believe that's gonna happen cuz of the no-show factor and some of these cats listed above have not signed up. Not sure about wins and losses between specific guys, or if yall are gonna get that specific in terms of ranking. Don't know how I feel about people with losing records getting in, I guess if we are hard up for competitors go for it, but still. Just my 2 more cents

[Frank]

Pohfig
Mike Wrecka
Adonis
Objective
Patrown
TopicalDood5
Red Glare
IamBent
Zenland
Frank
Zygote
Cereal Killa
Nigma
ZeeDee

If Split and King Keith do not sign in, next in line is Veritas and Tyson. Those are the 4 mystery components. Rearrange them like a master mind. Confirm with split if he's participating -- Nah? IMO you roll with Veritas. He showed up every week and is a only a game below 500. after a accumulating a bunch of wins last minute. If Kieth doesn't sign in by tonight -- replace him with Tyson. Tyson was a solid competitor and if you discredit his 2 no show wins he's got a winning record and is most qualified out of who remains.

Playoff sceniaro.

Frank (1st RD. bye)
Mike Wrecka (1st RD. bye)

ZeeDee Vs. Tyson
Objective Vs. Patrown

Zygote (1st RD. bye)
Pohfig (1st RD. bye)

Zenland Vs. TopicalDood5
Red glare Vs. Adonis
Veritas Vs. Cerial Killah
IAmBent Vs. Split?

I say you have a lottery for last spot. Meaning you gotta compete for the final slot. 16 lines -- The division winners vote on best verse submission. 24 hr time limit. This makes it interesting because then you have a joe smoe who can win it all.

Either way -- time for the grand finale kid.

Adonis -- I know you ran the RIA like a well oiled machine and even bad mouthed the AOWL behind its back. But never mind that now.

The ball is in your hands. I can help write the mag.

[Adonis]

@ work. But i 'm interested in what's being said. Keep spit balling. This is what I needed. More ideas basically. Its our league so I will not make a single descion that isn't co-signed by a couple regluars here

[Split]

what frank just said made a lot of sense to me

I think it was Keith's idea that everything would be record based ie not really sign in, so competing for last spot makes more sense than giving it away

I will write 16 if y'all want just tag me when u know, I been getting on at the library and rarely on the home PC

Off to apply for jobs pz

[Frank]

Why compete when you have the opportunity of a life time?

The last addition to the playoff roster -- the real underdog role.

This is what it's all about. It will trenscend your real life. You will have nightmares where you wake up in cold sweats -- fearing not what your opponent will do to you, but what you will do to your opponent.

Do not let this opportunity pass you by young noble lad.


Make it clear now. If you relinquish your rights -- state it here for the public to condemn you appropriately.

If split doesn't sign in, he's giving hope to the dead man, the cake, the nycspitz and the innovators for one last chance at glory.

What'll it be? The decision is yours.

[IamBenT]

lol sounds like a great breakdown, and a good chance at some spark going into the playoffs.

[Adonis]

Skim read a bit
Tyson, vulgar have stated no interest in playoffs.

Zeedee and Keith are both missing

Veritas was banned for a week, and hasn't logged in since.

Just a few nuggets for you

I split is now a maybe. I haven't added participants but I would bet that barely puts us @ like 14 qualified

[Mike Wrecka]

I understand that this is a massive undertaking. but lets get this show on the road.

I don't want to leave anyone deserved out but after looking at the above post, it seems that 12 is an ideal number. four first round byes based on the four division champs with the best record. the other four division winners and four wildcards battle it out first round. that's leaves us with 8 a nice even number. then three more rounds and we crown a champ. @Adonis.

tbh I really don't give a fuck, I don't know if this format would give me a bye or not, but I could really care less. it just seems so obvious that this is the best way to do it.

lets get something going sooner then later.

[IamBenT]

Word, waiting will kill buzz and energy. I don't mind if its just 12 as long as its good comp and its deserving folk who have put time and hard work in.

That sounds ridiculous imo. Sometimes battles go up at 6pm or 3pm for me, sometimes even longer. That leaves me a 6 hour writing session and I might not even be home before 10pm at some days which means that I'll wake up to an battle that has been up for 12 hours on a day I got other plans only to come home and see the battle closed and a no-show from me. The time difference is crazy, the entire league I've posted first. I'd at least like to know sometime in advance WHEN the battles will go up so I can put some time for it. 24 hours to write on a certain topic is fine, but at least give people a heads up (at least a couple days in advance and which date it'll be up) on when it'll be up if you plan to do it this way @Adonis.

Beside of that; I'm in either way and will give my votes for the awards thing soon enough.

[Frank]

24 hours to write 16 for the battle royale for the last slot in the playoffs.

this doesn't pertain to you. you qualified.
