Week 11 rankings, predictions and chat
 

Hi, all. I think I can say resolutely that we are coming off the best week of the season and really gaining momentum as we move toward the playoffs.

This week's topics are a bit different than in the past story lead weeks. Basically, I'm presenting you with a generalized statement that can serve as the framework of your verse. It's something more along the lines of quote topics or even phrase topics.

Take note that as we move closer to the playoffs, voting rules will be even more strictly followed. Part of that was knocking out anyone who lost and failed to vote and not giving a win to the one person who won but failed to vote. Here are the matchups and topics:

Championship
1. zygote (8-2)
2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it.

Contender match
3. timeless (6-4)
4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end.

5. Perpendicular (1-0)
6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself.

7. Vividlyvague (6-3)
8. Certain (2-2) | It'll make a man out of you.

9. Just Write (4-3)
10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together.

11. Mike Wrecka (4-5)
12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop?

13. Adonis (4-6)
14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore.

15. Vulgar (4-2)
16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you.

17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2)
18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore.

19. dead man (0-2)
20. Soulstice (0-2) | You need to figure out who you really are.

* — MMLP can turn his loss last week into a win by voting on three extra battles this week.

Championship
1. zygote (8-2)
2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it.
>>BOTW. Zombie edges it with fancy language, 55-45

Contender match
3. timeless (6-4)
4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end.
>> good luck, man... and good luck to whoever has to face either Zy or Zombie next week haha.

5. Perpendicular (1-0)
6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself.
>>Perpendicular. If he is who I didnt think he was. Such an open topic which means high possibility of pre-written verses. Dont matter as long as they werent used in a battle before. Good show potential.
Perp 52-48

7. Vividlyvague (6-3)
8. Certain (2-2) | (To be determined.)
>>Certain most likely, depending on the topic. Only because of polish, though. Viv's approach and discipline determines the outcome.
Certain 70-30

9. Just Write (4-3)
10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together.
>> Dope matchup. Just Write said he's reevaluating his writing, meaning temporary weakness for the sake of future strength, unless something *clicks* and he delivers right away. High probability of King Ra. no-show.
JW 58-42

11. Mike Wrecka (4-5)
12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop?
>> Topic is in MW's wheelhouse, but YDK is getting better. MW has superior cadence and storytelling prowess.
MW 60-40

13. Adonis (4-6)
14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore.
>> ill match. havent read a @Cereal_Killa verse in awhile and i hope @Adonis brings a fully realized verse.
CK 61-39

15. Vulgar (4-2)
16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you.
>> 9.4/10 dream match. Vulgar's new shoes will be fully shined.
Vulgar 50-50

17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2)
18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore.
MMLP had a good no-show verse, JM is an enigma to me. A talented, calculating enjgma.
JM 73-27

19. dead man (0-2)
20. Soulstice (0-2) | You need to figure out who you really are.
BOTW #2. Topic says dead man, but Soulstice has time now so anything goes.
DM 51-49

Thanks to oats for picking our topic.

I predict being up 3-4 votes with an hour or so left and then quickly losing by a single vote.

Cast by me.

My strategy this week is strictly to appeal to certain. That will ensure my victory.

I'm gonna write about a dashing young moderator who takes a fledgling league on his back and after a tough week, he writes an inspirational speech that turns the league around (as well as secures the heart of one "dyedinthewoods").

@Adonis

Bring it.. bring it..

this is gonna be crazy.. if i take a 5***** general win streak.. you have to give me (not my country) all your electric chairs..

Championship
1. zygote (8-2)
2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it.
I got Zombie by a hair.

Contender match
3. timeless (6-4)
4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end.
Split Eight 11-0

5. Perpendicular (1-0)
6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself.
Frank got it.

7. Vividlyvague (6-3)
8. Certain (2-2) | It'll make a man out of you.
Close one, got certain.

9. Just Write (4-3)
10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together.
Another good one here.

11. Mike Wrecka (4-5)
12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop?
Kuhn got it if he shows.

13. Adonis (4-6)
14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore.
Another close call.

15. Vulgar (4-2)
16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you.
I sense this will be a Champ match soon. botw.

17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2)
18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore.
Mercy hungry. His record probably should be 3-0.

19. dead man (0-2)
20. Soulstice (0-2) | You need to figure out who you really are.
Could be a dope battle if they show. another botw.

For you sir. I promise. Posting Thursday fyi


And really certain. You won't take account for the gimmick, but you will comment on it? That's what we call a joke.

And for what it's worth, in this case, your verse was part gimmick and shouldn't have had a single vote for. Millz won easy.

@Frank whattup?

Did you not once complain that I'm too nice while voting. And you'd rather me just say I didn't like it? Still love you unconditionally bitch

You don't know what a gimmick is, apparently. And if anything yours worked against you.

I have no idea what you folk are arguing about, but hi :)

Hellllllllowwww wit..

The fox in the monocle did it..

I knows - Iiiiiiiiii KNNNNOWS

Where u been at? U no love us no more? :(

The fox didn't do nothing, he is innocent.

FREE THE FOX.

@Diode, are you ever planning on rejoining us? Getting back in for Week 12 would be the wise move if the playoffs are your goal.

unlikely.. it's the end of the higher ed fiscal year, i am swamped.

will let you know if anything changes.

we meet again @Certain. you will not be lighting any fires this week, sir.



please, no fires. fire always wins in rock, paper, scissors :(

@Witty does thou not agree? ^__^

Vivid did u catch up to bob's burgers yet?

¿Cómo se dice "datiendo" en inglés?

no longer on netflix :(

I checked last night.

i actually don't know that word either.

No way. I'm watching scrubs all over again. If they get rid of that I'm going to cry

Hello, friends.

I need to watch The Family (DeNiro) before they up and drop that too smh. Scrubs is in my comedy sitcom top 5. or 10.


Wattup Zen?!

Bob's Burgers still is on Netflix Instant.

"Two things I hate: liars and thieves. They make my blood boil."

Right now I'm sitting outside trying to smoke a cigarette without dying. This summers gonna be a bitch. It's 80 degrees out and I already hate it. Had to shave too...It's a sad day. *moment of silence for the beard* And later I might try to write a verse that @Certain likes. For some reason he's never liked anything I wrote and his feed ALWAYS picks out the parts where I knew was shitty but said eh fuck it and kept it. Be on the look out, Certain.

Anyway what up wit chu mane?

My condolences to your beard @Zenland. It was a majestic beard. I also dislike the heat. And in nyc it gets disgustingly humid :(
@Vividlyvague scrubs, top 3 for me!!
