Insanely close battle. This was the contest I was looking most forward to reading this week and it lived up to expectations.

Comparing rhyme schemes, I felt Genocide was more 'consistent' only because Orc had a few lines that were more simplistic, where as Geno kept it very tight and strict all the way through. However, Orc came hard as hell and some of the most impressively complex schemes came from his verse. One line in particular stood out to me: "& that an ire of hope could put a sire to rope in a golden empire molded in fire"

Down to the content within the verses, I felt Genos was enjoyably descriptive and easily relateable to the picture. Lines were concise and you wasted no words, placing ample content into each bar despite the short lines. Orc, I feel the longer lines were very hit and miss, attributed to best and worst of the verse. When they were on, at times such as the line previously quoted, it was complex, descriptive, and plain badass. There were one or two circumstances, however, when it seemed that trimming the length down would have smoothed things out. This is extreme nitpicking on my behalf because it flows well as is, but from a voters standpoint in a close battle, gotta pull out the microscope.

I would love to vote for a tie here, but no one likes ties, so I've scratched my noggin until I've come to a decision. Two enjoyable verses, two different approaches, but there can only be on highlander.. I'm going to have to go with Genocide, for a slightly more consistent verse and one that, in my opinion, depicted the picture a little better then his opponent. Thank you both for the good read
