Week 5 chat and predictions
 

Our latest problem that we shall overcome? Sign outs. We're down to 15 members this week, and that's due to a little generosity on my part. But everyone left is talented and (hopefully) more likely to show and vote than members gone.

The theme this week is The Beatles, with each topic being a song title by the greatest band in the history of bands. The Beatles' debut album, Please Please Me, came out March 22, 1963. Here are the matchups:

Championship: Frank (4-0) vs. oats (4-0) vs. Vividlyvague (4-0) | "Don't Let Me Down"
Contender match: ZYG (3-1) vs. YDK (3-1) | "Think for Yourself"
Vulgar (3-1) vs. Pinot Grij (2-1) | "Run for Your Life"
timeless (2-2) vs. Mike Wrecka (2-2) | "Getting Better"
Adonis (2-2) vs. King Ra. (2-2) | "Child of Nature"
Totoro (0-2) vs. El Pancake (1-1) | "All Things Must Pass"
sacrifice (1-2) vs. Mr. J (0-2) | "Tell Me What You See"

What's your favorite Beatles song?

Thanks.

holy shit. Glad to see you again buddy @Frank.

I had a feeling I would be facing Zyg soon. I don't believe we've ever face? good luck broseph @ZYG

@Ink, you must vote on three matches this week to get credit for your Week 4 victory.

Records should be updated completely now.

I elected not to use my favorite Beatles song as a topic:

But "Don't Let Me Down" is second on my list.

hey don't I get 3 wins with the battles that just closed lol certain i'm starting to think you just like me having a losing record :(

Never mind, I forgot about switching your win.

So we're good with 7-8?

1-0 Writing Challenge League
3-6 AOWL Season 2
0-1 The Winter Topical
3-1 AOWL Season 3

yeah 7-8 is correct lol just gotta beat zyg to get even and in the champ match :)
I feel accomplished after saying a few weeks ago I was gonna go on a winning streak so I could get my record back to the .500 mark...sooo fuckin close don't you take this from my mr zygote -.-

what is my expanded record?

Hello, I would destroy this round of topics.

I look forward to reading your pieces and how you take your respective topics, gentlemen.

Believe it or not, I do take the time to read every piece if I can, my 'laziness' is only circumstancial and not due to lack of interest.

Pzzzzzzzzz for another little while friends.

I saw dat video. Prince goes all crazy

all I wanna know is how Zyg gets his concepts so quickly lol

Championship: Frank (4-0) vs. oats (4-0) vs. Vividlyvague (4-0) | "Don't Let Me Down"

Dope match, I feel like oats has dropped consistent enough to win this out right. Oats, Frank, vivid...

Contender match: ZYG (3-1) vs. YDK (3-1) | "Think for Yourself"

I got Ziggie. He's not dropped his usual fire but still

Vulgar (3-1) vs. Pinot Grij (2-1) | "Run for Your Life"

This should be botw material. I got Vulgar who has dropped elite every week safe when he baled me.

timeless (2-2) vs. Mike Wrecka (2-2) | "Getting Better"

?

Adonis (2-2) vs. King Ra. (2-2) | "Child of Nature"

Keith my dude though.

Totoro (0-2) vs. El Pancake (1-1) | "All Things Must Pass"

Hnmm. Another botw type. I got cake who might want it more.

sacrifice (1-2) vs. Mr. J (0-2) | "Tell Me What You See"

Fice is in a slump. So Is J. I got fice, but close

Adonis :(
i'm still not appreciated i'm gonna cry myself back to sleep

I just don't think u are elite to be honest. And by elite I meant maybe 4 people who have a legit odds on favored shot to win the regular season and final title

@YDK, show and prove. The first step is to beat Adonis ...

This weeks topics are easily my favorite I've seen since I've been here.

I was thinking I would use all phrase topics for the playoffs.

I used to enjoy writing to pictures but I think phrases are much better now. It allows more interpretations, I think.

I personally enjoy the story leads the best

I agree, Zenland. Phrase topics really open the possibilities quite a bit, and it's easier to come up with good ones. The point of the season is to challenge writers. The point of the playoffs is to crown a champion.

okay fair enough lol

pictures > quotes

phrases>all

Well said.

haven't really been tuned into the league but how is the champ match a 3-way?

what is this madness?

How would you have suggested deciding between three 4-0 writers?

coin toss?

or one more week of competition

I'm awaiting your week 6 sign in for deep playoff push

I was thinking a video conference of odd man out would do
