[Juxtaposition]

Just got home from the gym, gonna use the last of my focus to break this tie...

Nigma -

The flow is alright so far, but... I'm not sure about using the same word back to back, without really a meaning change, also I think using "See," to begin a line is really weak, I know maybe people do it to keep syllable counts going, but it's a waste.

"His mind on the sheet, organized and typed into the lines that your seeing
See, I write it so deeply that even my mind can't leash it"

You have some decent inner bar rhyming happening, always a plus to me usually, except in this case, it seems like... the story stumbles into odd word choices, I am of the mind you can't sacrifice continuity of narration to fit a rhyme scheme, or it's forced. And then the story meanders and the reader starts to snap out of the tale being weaved.

"In life as a spiral beacon despite it's colliding seasons
The frights that'll lie beneath it, the sprites and the viral demons "

Might have been better like this:

Despite its colliding seasons.... in life, as a spiraling beacon,
the Sprites and the viral demons, are frights that'll lie beneath it
In my editor mind, it has better technical form, it doesn't double back on itself so much.

"I'm fighting to find the key and am righteous when I resolve it"
Not sure 'resolve' makes sense here.

"It was perplexing, torrential horrors upsetting the weathers norm
Cold War etched with some Desert Storm, frost thicker then ever before"
The rhymes patter here was cool, also the imagery and wordplay. And you are incorporating your topic goals.

I must say, leading up that "Let me Go" you managed to build up a momentum, like if you were rapping to a beat, you would be hitting it at just the right moment to make it pop with the end rhymes.

Yea that would be nightmarish to a Pacifist. I dig it. You did a good job of creating mood, which really set the table for pulling off the story in the way you did.

Without mood, the dream waking up being a pacifist with those dictator nightmares would have fallen flat.

Xces

Alright flow to start it off, good use of vocabulary and I like how you foreshadow.
"Parading a false loss as a cause for elation, in grave sense
The distaste left, often is embossed by applauding disinformation"

"The deceits concealed beneath the sweetness of a legions guilt
Bodies as serenely still as leaves discretely conceding to wilt"
I liked this, the meaning and imagery, more building, also a little bit of wordplay with leaves conceding to wilt.

"Amongst seed an silt, blood sullies pastures of greener grass
Where life once lavish, lies famished in fields of sundered ash"
You got bars!! And I like the tone of this passage. It's like Coleridge to me, 'rhyme of the ancient mariner'

While you do a great job of foreshadowing in the verse, I'm not sure about those Transitions out of context of the story.
-In every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim.
The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former.”-

"Amongst Sun Tzu's rumbling pads is "To succumb is a cumbersome task."
Ahh delayed alliteration due to word placement. I love to do this in writing too.

Vote - Xces because...

There were more merits to his verse. He did a lot of technical subtle things that unless you are aware you miss... you just have a feel that it's a good written verse, if that makes sense. I'm glad that he attempted to have a more dynamic there and took a risk of incorporating the topic.

Nigma had a solid base had good pacing and imagery and was able to create mood and atmosphere, crescendo...

The difference mainly was in the power of description. Xces easily was stronger. If Nigma had been able to craft similar caliber bars, that would magnified his piece that much more because his piece needed to be as vivid as possible. Also think that he could have worded this so they were less kinked which would have not disrupted the dreaming, because having to stop and decipher while reading, takes away from your ending story.

If it was smooth the whole time, had that great momentum you created, and then you abruptly woke up, to that terror, maaaaaaan what a verse it could have been! You understand?

good battle guys peace.
