Week 12 rankings, chat and predictions

Season 3

Hi, friends. Last week was good except that because of the lack of sign-ins and a few people no-showing and a couple others not voting, we didn't get enough votes overall. Let's be better about that this week, particularly with two fewer battles.

Here are the matchups, with the topics being famous paintings, most if not all with a dark tinge to their subject matter:

Championship
1. Zombie (4-0)
2. Split Eight (3-2) | Ashes by Edvard Munch

Contender match
3. Frank (8-3)
4. Mike Wrecka (5-5) | Office in a Small City by Edward Hopper

5. Cereal_Killa (2-1)
6. oats (9-2) | Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth

7. Johnathan Mercy (2-2)
8. Soulstice (1-2) | The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

9. zygote (8-3)
10. Vividlyvague (6-4) | Skull by Andy Warhol

11. King Ra. (4-6)*
12. timeless (6-5) | Still Life with Skull and Candlestick by Paul Cézanne

13. Perpendicular (1-1)
14. Adonis (4-7) | The Face of War by Salvador Dali

15. Certain (2-3)
16. Vulgar (4-3) | Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette by Vincent Van Gogh

* — King Ra. may have last week's loss turned into a win if he votes on three extra battles this week. Vividlyvague may not because he's already used that exception once this season.

Adonis · 05-12-2014, 03:19 AM

Hi certain. Will you allow me to bend rules too? Or no a la jdub?

I mean Im glad you know he reads verses for sure or that would make this league a joke right?

Certain · 05-12-2014, 03:22 AM

Cool. I'm done arguing with anyone about anything.

I put more than enough effort into this league to make it worth participating in. Your thin skins are not my problem.

Adonis · 05-12-2014, 04:09 AM

So just so we're clear. I can have a little bit of time after deadline as long as I'm logged in?

Great. I'll be sure to use those 9 minutes for sure. Thanks mate

oats · 05-12-2014, 04:34 AM

1. Zombie (4-0)
2. Split Eight (3-2) | Ashes by Edvard Munch

Feel like zombie might be running out of steam now, split been dropping heat

3. Frank (8-3)
4. Mike Wrecka (5-5) | Office in a Small City by Edward Hopper

Going for the upset. I think mike wants it more

7. Johnathan Mercy (2-2)
8. Soulstice (1-2) | The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

potential BOTW

9. zygote (8-3)
10. Vividlyvague (6-4) | Skull by Andy Warhol

Could be good but vivid has been inconsistent and zyg rarely slips

11. King Ra. (4-6)*
12. timeless (6-5) | Still Life with Skull and Candlestick by Paul Cézanne

Could be BOTW if both come with their a game. Good test for both

13. Perpendicular (1-1)
14. Adonis (4-7) | The Face of War by Salvador Dali

Interesting style matchup. Adonis can win this if he goes more out of the box with his approach I feel

15. Certain (2-3)
16. Vulgar (4-3) | Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette by Vincent Van Gogh

Another potential BOTW.

Another dope week, stoked

As mother's day comes to a close, I can resume scheduled programming.

Witty · 05-12-2014, 07:06 AM

So many ppl on netcees who suffer from depression...i wonder if they know.

They say knowing helps you face up to it and eventually beat it...it doesn't tho, it just makes you aware of exactly who you are and always will be.

Maybe it's better not to know.

Baron Mynd · 05-12-2014, 09:26 AM

lmao MMLP dipped out?

King Ra. · 05-12-2014, 09:46 AM

@timeless I'm feeling really good. I may drop today or tomorrow, but I'd love to drop today. Dope match ups. I've been slacking on the voting heavy, been caught up, gonna buckle down and get shit done.

I'll drop some predictions later.

Sorry for not voting on everything last week. Had to pick up a friend who was drunk and ended up taking care of him

Split · 05-12-2014, 01:23 PM

@Certain if you wanna do some type of pre-playoffs writer profiles/ league summary, lemme know cause I like helping with that sort of thing/ com pairing contrasting writer styles

I can only write for 1 or 2 more weeks because of travel issues

Please do. You can put the audio on soundcloud, and I can turn it into a YouTube embed.

Vulgar · 05-12-2014, 04:16 PM

My bad for not voting! I tried psychedelic mushrooms for the first time last night and it threw me off.

@Vulgar how much did you eat?

Side note: it appears that my gf has edited my shortcuts so that when I type the word "do" it becomes scooby dooby do. Apologies if I didn't catch that on any posts.
