So many votes still owed.

uh-oh 01-19-2014 12:24 PM

9 out of 32 participants have posted there voting links lmfao

i gotta check the brackets. hopefully my opponent next week is one of these non voting faggots and has to dig himself out of a hole in our battle

assuming a bunch of voters don't hit my battle before the deadline and i lose of course

trap. 01-19-2014 12:42 PM

@CopyPat

Vote bro. The way our battle has been going, anyone can win now.

Certain 01-19-2014 12:48 PM

Via Pancake's previous post, we still need links from @YDK @CopyPat @Mike Wrecka @Nigma @Just Write @Soulstice @Diode @Vulgar @Innovator @Witty @Mordycai @breathless @The Mind Assassin @Fig and @oXus

I think Frank and Vividlyvague voted but didn't post links. And trap says dead man and Pent uP did, too.

trap. 01-19-2014 12:51 PM

I think dead / pent voted on 4+, just not in the links thread.

Inno 01-19-2014 12:57 PM

Not voting sorry.

I'll vote next round to make it up.

i apologies. ..shit is hectic right noe

Split 01-19-2014 12:57 PM

Vulgar 01-19-2014 01:04 PM

Pent uP 01-19-2014 01:04 PM

I posted 4 links assholes

Nigma 01-19-2014 01:10 PM

I got one more vote on the way then I'll post my links.

Diode 01-19-2014 01:28 PM

i have 3 done, bout to do #4

big baby 01-19-2014 01:47 PM

lol people are lazy. I'm busy too. I've got a job and do other things. Like fuck my belly button. And you guys can't even vote? To the people who already lost, it doesnt really matter, and to the people who won, it doesnt matter, either, since really they encourage you to vote so if you dont they'll take points away.

Diode 01-19-2014 01:52 PM

done.

we both advance because it was ridiculous pairing us against each other in rd 1 when there was more than one reserve slot open.

Witty 01-19-2014 02:46 PM

Got my votes in.

Red glare 01-19-2014 02:57 PM

I am going to vote on 4 more battles before 6pm

Diode 01-19-2014 03:00 PM

Certain 01-19-2014 03:11 PM

Looks like we have a next-vote-wins situation in Frank vs. Nigma.

Vulgar 01-19-2014 03:13 PM

@ZYG @Mordycai

Zyg - lol, you are everyone's silent uncle who is sitting on a treasure chest of jokes and decaying basilisks. The last person you'd expect to be an expert on hydrophonic farming and Assyrian history, yet the first one to declare you own a syndicate based there, and on the moon colony too. You also probably dress like you're still in the 80's. Fun verse, overall. I like how you posted a little over an hour after the thread was started like a boss. "Gaark" was a funny name. I wish more topical verses were like this, tbh. Manipulation of said topic image for comedic purposes... not taking the craft so bluntly serious, but fun.

Mordycai - First problem I had with the verse (but not really until now since I just noticed) is that you call it a fishing boat, yet the character resembles a warrior and not a fisherman. This story seemed to be about a ghostly realm, a purgatory based in an environment of sea turned desert, mirroring the depressive dichotomy the lone survivor has to face in captivity, or isolation. Somehow, Mother Nature left him a stranded soul but also lent him a survival manual, originally angry because of man interfering with nature, i.e. "sand taken and placed on our lovely [volleyball] courts" I'm guessing. It was a deep take on the topic. Vague but rewardingly so. Against another opponent I think you would've fared well for the effort you put into this one.

Vote - Zygoat

simply because I was entertained more by it and was satisfied after one read. See breakdown for further insight.

Lol Vulgar....I think this may be the wrong place for this my friend.

Certain 01-19-2014 03:23 PM

The battle is closed, though.

Witty 01-19-2014 03:24 PM

Oh lol

Witty 01-19-2014 03:25 PM

I love that Vulgar still posted feed even when the winner had been decided.

That shows great appreciation for what we do.

Witty 01-19-2014 03:28 PM

@Certain how much time is left?

I may try to get another vote or two in, if possible.

Certain 01-19-2014 03:31 PM

That's up to @Pancake, but Frank vs. Nigma is tied so it needs a vote either way.

CopyPat 01-19-2014 03:36 PM

why prevent ppl from voting? vote away, vote as much as u can


almost every battle is either closed(won) or a runaway (should be closed, someone clearly way ahead by 4-5 votes). theres only a few that are remotely close



wise battle vs VV is 6-1. should be over and closed
oats vs JW is 7-1-big baby(?) should be closed

To clean up the page

Wise Wiggles 01-19-2014 03:55 PM

HUTHUT HUTHUT

Pent uP 01-19-2014 04:03 PM

Fuck I just lost it all thanks to my phone.

Mrj - I liked what direction you took the verse in but I feel like there were a couple of big things working against this verse. The first is I think u were tryinf to be too lyrical and that did 2 things - it made the read tedious, in this case, and i think it hindered the characterization. The second thing is the verse felt stagnant. I know the verse relied on characterization but it became redundant in spots. Overall the verse went in a positive direction but it fell flat of what it could have been.

Witty - the flow and wording were butter. The writers voice was spot on and the emotion was prominent. Characterization was excellent and the underlying messege made the story complete. This verse had the formula of an excellent writing. ..it felt a little winded at times but always brought interest back instantaneously. Probably my favorite verse of the week
@Mr. J @Witty

Certain 01-19-2014 04:08 PM

Three battles are still open for votes.

Angkor 01-19-2014 04:14 PM

Truth. Do you have time to vote on one of the three still-open battles?
