Week 2: Predictions & Chat
 

Week 2: Topics TBA


Matchups
to be edited in.



Please note the adjustment of deadlines.
Verses will be due on Monday, 11:59 pm PST, Sunday morning at 2:59 am EST, or Sunday morning at 7:59 am BPT (British People Time)

Votes will be due on Thursday, 11:59 pm PST, Friday morning at 2:59 am EST, or Friday morning at 7:59 am UK.

This is an effort to give people the weekend and one (or, ambitiously on the moderators' part, two) weekday(s) to write.

Note that no extensions will be granted from here on out, with the possible exception of site outages or incredibly extenuating circumstances (but not likely). Voting links will also be enforced, I will count if you forget to post them but please don't make me.

Official rules will also be posted & stickied, largely based on those from Season 4. We encourage you to reread them, even to skim them.

Day after the weekend is a good call. Avoids excuses. Well played and thank you.

First, how the fuck did I win?

MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!

Because of the site crash I just realized all of the work of posting links to "THE BEST OF BATTLES" in season was for nought.

@Diode

Is there a simple fix? if not, fuck it, at least the names are mentioned.

Are all of those past battle gone? or just contain the wrong and outdated domain name?

examples....

King Ra. vs. Certain, Round 3

YDK vs. Certain, championship


How's the boat life thug? I seen your original love, cowboys looking at CJnot2K...Imagine a backfield with him and Darren McFadden.....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLLLOOLOL still that Oline would make them decent though, at least that would be the slight favorite as far as odds.

Saw the no biters welcome thing @King Seoul or whatever is @Dagel

@Dr Dog

Just an FYI

Find and replace all .Co with .Org

Problem solved.

I had a conversation in the other thread. -.-

Its not like he will win tho so who cares

I need one more competitor to face Razah
@Diablo @Pent uP @timeless any of you want a match?

Have a phone interview shortly, then posting the magazine and topics.

@Dr Dog

http://www.netcees.org/showthread.php?t=118666


maybe u want to move it over here til its decided.


I don't think battle heads can give it the feed it deserves.

@Innovator @Witty

Can we keep these verses short??

I'm thinking 16-24 bars

This is my third 3 way battle in 2 weeks.

Wtf.

@Razah @Witty

Im going 16

@Dr Dog any word on what's goin on with Write Week, homey?

Yes, feelers on panel votes for Write Week and OM HOF have been 60% sent out, I want to post the mag before I do the last half-ish

Just making sure I'm not asking dead ppl to vote

Ribbit (0-1) vs. Mr. J (1-0)

I started reading Ribbit's verse last week. Maybe it's the alcohol, but it seemed a bit eccentric. I'm sure that's accidental. Some of his phrasing is sharp as fuck, actually. If he gave up the schtick and gave a fuck he'd be formidable. Mr. J is a very solid writer who rarely touches rarified air. By volume, he's the greatest topicalist on this version of the site. He sees a mote of dust and finds ten lines for it. I always think his verses are same-ish. It's always the same voice, no matter the subject or approach. I guess that's a lot of writers' problem, on this site. Same for me. But for him it seems pronounced. Still, he's a good, coherent, writer. Ribbit will have an idea or two, punctuated with rhythm, that'll make me smile. Mr. J will write a consist nod.

Mr. J.

UnbornBuddha (0-1) vs. Tyson (1-0)

Tyson isn't great. I never read a Tyson verse and looked for my socks afterwards. They were still there, properly not blown away. Unbornbuddha writes more words per single open mic than I've written since the first day I've been on netcees(.com), including discussion posts. With such volume, he occasionally stumbles on something brilliant. For the most part it's the most verbose point to end point out there. I'd rate him as above average, one 'above' Tyson's perpetual station.

Buddha

Asylum (0-0) vs. Rakontur (0-0)

Who?

Innovator (0-1) vs. Razah (1-0) vs. Witty (1-0)

Innovator can write a nice verse. I'd say one out of every six of his verses are very dope. Witty can be a conceptual genius every now and then, and when he isn't he has the writing chops to float an average concept to the good territory. Apparently Razah is good. Between Inno and Witty I'd take

Witty

Lmfao, goddamn you're shit outta luck @Witty. Innovator can't say shit considering that stuff.

There's a triple threat and I don't have a battle? What the fuck is going on here?

Thank u.

lol

productive way to get active writers. smh. deuces.

so.....we gonna get some votes started or what?

Lol u a funny brother Mr. J fuck in asks to get verse in early and then requests a longer verse then doesn't drop early and with only eighteen lines lol fucking spine bender homie

shut up idiot. you're stealing people's work and you expect open arms when you slither back a year later.

i think everyone can agree you are not the kind of active writer we want in this league.

stay gone this time.

I should be more upset you made me waste a 36 line verse to write you half of that.
I wrote 18 lines in the time it took you to drop in the OM cypher...and you couldnt add 8 lines in that time? Yea thanks
