Nik Bags: Your ability to churn out 50 battle lines this week was pretty impressive, even if a few probably were in your notebook already. A lot of these lines, though, were solid personals. I liked the con Swerve and excited to get Muff lines a lot. But the line about him not having a partner was particularly ineffective since he did have a partner and you didn't. And the tier wordplay was played out a decade ago, but you worded it well. This verse was solid, though it didn't compare to your Summer Classic championship verse for understandable reasons.
Conswervation: This verse was really good. I know Strikta returned to help out, but I couldn't really tell who wrote what which speaks well to your chemistry. The opening eight lines were the highlights, for sure, and it makes sense to open well in a battle. The choose-your-own adventure thread line had a lot of squandered potential because of the soft wording, as did the barbecue line. But the last two lines were better. Ultimately, though, this battle was decided because of the strength of the opening eight, which were better than anything in Nik Bags' verse.
