Sort of impressed with diodes ability to come up with this in a short notice, because I never really read anything of his I think.

Both offered a story about war, and the crust the image offers as being a grimey, less suburban setting. The mask, along with the dirt and grime over and the opaque scenery sort of made this seem 'war-like' or dirty, really. Or in a dilapidated zone of unfortunate circumstances. I like diodes take, but didn't really feel a strong progression of story writing, same with pent, they both seemed the same thing, except diodes being a longer expression and nothing really pointing out to the picture itself, except the feel of the image, not the details in it, which is fine, but with such an easy and delineating topic, I felt the need for minutiae to be much greater than the simple things described by both. Pent-up did this a little better, where as diode took a route of being more on the story telling bit, and describing a certain narrative where the declarations were made by someone or something in a certain time stretch, I think about 3 other verses this round had the same template as diodes. It's really good, sometimes, nothing really wowed me on either end, but coupled with what I mentioned just now, I think pent slightly edged diode here in overall satisfaction of the verse. I hate to say that if diode may have spent more time it couldve been funner, and it sucks, really, (idk if pent up posted his verse after the replacement, but he had a 31 seed, so idk if he really went full throttle [though i haven't seen him at his best, really]) that diode, without being a reserve is probably a really high seed based on his accomplishments he tells everyone he has, lol jk. But, he is in no way a 31 seed, and that's sort of a disadvantage for pent, honestly, I know he couldve edited his verse, but I think the seeding shouldve been placed smarter (the reserves) because a top 15 seed replacing a 31 seed seems very unorganized and stupid to me, and couldve really cost pent this battle, and diode (im assuming) had less time to construct a verse within the original time alloted. Very weird battle here, (assuming the circumstances) but I cast my vote and it stands straight, good job guys. Thanks for the read.


edit: and I know it's up to whatever the writer posts, and if he/she wants to go super hard on a certain topic, that should be his initial reaction when writing, but if I knew I was facing someone I could easily beat and I wanted to benefit off the hard work that I've written and cruise off of my seeding for the first rounds, then I'm allowed to do that, but diode isn't really an easy opponent? Idk if you see where I'm coming from. But yeah. Good stuff.
