The votes are one-sided but that doesn't take away the excellence in the verses that are presented in this match up. So far, this battle here has overly impressed me, and quite possibly, this could easily be the battle of the year, because you both took the topic & just tore it to bits. ZeeDee, mad impressed with your piece because it had me captivated with the amount of knowledge you strung together. The opening bit hooked me in off bat. Mechanically, you pretty much aced it. Others felt that you may have been a bit sporadic, but I honestly had no issue with your piece. The conceptual approach you took was top notch nailed in. Great job. IAmBenT, I read that someone liked the title, and I agree. The title of your piece already had my interest through the roof. But let's go beyond that. You did a hell of a job putting together that story. This is definitely the most well told topical piece I've read this season thus far. There was not a moment that lacked or threw me off. I agree with zygote in that the "sheriff" terminology doesn't fit the time told in your story, but c'mon, this was well put together. You too nailed the mechanics & the story approach made this battle that more intriguing with the two different directions taken. I remember a battle earlier this season between Nigma & dead man, where dead man took a conceptual approach and it got him a win, because he did such an excellent job in taking the image & putting together a great piece. Zee, your piece would trump most pieces from this season alone. But I feel IAmBenT story approach & the execution of it edged this match for him. This is one of the cases where a really good put together story can trump a conceptual piece, but only if it's executed damn near perfectly. Great job for the entertainment here gentlemen.
MVGT: IAmBenT.
