the proper phrase is that he rustled a lot of jimmies

Bs I didnt get 1 last year in the same situation

@Diode

Shhhhh no tears
Only dreams now

so i had never seen split write before

so i go to his hall of names

and oh my god it's like aesop and cappadonna had a love child

Mods are so inconsistent

He has an open mic out now. Letters to Indiana. Its really quite good. You two have about as opposite of styles as possible so I could see you not enjoying it.

I didn't run Season 1. didn't even mod it. just competed

some things have changed. I felt , and if I remember correctly you agreed, that 16 was too many people to let in. so I have made it 12. with a first round bye for top four.

this means if you finish in the top four by your first battle its an eight person tournament. that seems right.

and the beauty is that 12 is just the right amount to keep the people that signed up late to have a chance to make the playoffs.

if i sign in next week for the remainder of the season is there a statistical chance for me to place in playoffs?

it doesn't look promising :/

you could end up with 3 wins. you would need a lot of the people with three wins right now to lose a couple of battles. but being last years champion is a pretty strong tie breaker in my eyes.

give it a go. you will be battling people that are fighting for that 12th spot so you could knock them out

I disagreed with much of what he wrote. This stood out: "Mike Wrecka's edge also depends less on the angle and more on his rhymes."

That's like the opposite of true.

Hmmmm. Valid point.

ya he's basing that off my style in Season 1

Granted I run into the problem of lack of familiarity when writing reviews and sometimes base them off possibly flawed preconceptions.

I run into the problem of only reading half the battles im reviewing. winging is a lot easier in a video.

Ill be back next week. Wouldn't mind seeing deadman upon my return

All one may say is, "well, that's life." I don't think it's easier. It's just what you decide to say, as both situations are statements of rhetoric.


I will shut up now.

my apologies I will read and vote on all battles this week.

Good point, I haven't been very attentive I just looked at last weeks battles and it fit the bil a little bit.

I like everyone's writing. I was just being incisive and critical

I don't like everyone's writing.

But I usually like Split Eight's.

@Mike Wrecka @Certain if I win out (which means that I'd be 4-4) would that seal my playoff birth being that I probably have one of the toughest schedules this season? Say yes, or I'll wreak bloody havoc with no mercy.

I think the Tralfamadorians said it best:

So it goes.

take it one battle at a time, you're looking to far ahead.

Stop making me do research. Ugh.

Btw, their origin is the epitome of irony.

Introducing you to Vonnegut is the opposite of a bad thing.

In otherwords, that shit ain't happening homie.



Don't mind me. Just excited because I got off work a second ago. Creeper grin is in effect. {:<

Say "derr" if you wish, but didn't someone quote that title some weeks ago in a piece? There's also an OM piece with vonnegut's name on it if I'm not mistaken. Too lazy to research this from my phone.

Damn. Pie and dead next week. I wanna sign in just to see what happens

Ugh

That's not a title. It's a drawing from Slaughterhouse Five.

You should read Slaughterhouse Five.

Im really tempted to jump in guys. I hate u

Pent's a good guy, bros. Let him in. Beneath his passive aggressive exterior is a cool bro.

Are u saying let me into the playoffs? or just the season. for 3 weeks before I hang in limbo and end up a wild card for the final 12 or so

Pancake stop acting like no one knows Pent and that you are like some Pent Up expert that must constantly defend his honor.

this will only make him more passive aggressive

I love you guys in a drunken master sort of manner

edit/addon: its not that no one KNOWS pent
its that no one LIKES pent up

But was I correct? Being that I haven't read anything in years, I'd say I'm way out of the loop.

Pent uP, when'd you start this topical shit? I remember you in the RSTL being way too abstract and forcing a lot of rhymes early on. Now, you obviously have improved.

I will relinquish that information when you sack up and tell me what alias i am most likely to know u by. coward

Me and Pent have intense AIM conversations about writing and self-deprecation and confidence and stuff. We're total bros.

Mike you're a total bro, too. Who the fuck else is going do video mags for a topical league. You're a boss.

pent was doing topical tourneys on pr as long ago as 07 IIRC

Bags. the answer is bags. ask me how i know
