Week 2 chat and predictions

Certain · 03-03-2014, 03:09 AM

Season 3

That was an eventful first week. We had a handful of really good battles, along with a bunch of expected no-shows. But as I pointed out, there were fewer no-shows in Week 1 of this season than last season. And now we hopefully have weeded out the uncommitted.

This week's topics are song quotes, so I hope you enjoy. I don't advise that you attempt to mimic the songs quoted but rather to use the quotes as the same type of quote topics you might see normally. You'll notice two changes to sign-in threads: There are no more extensions, as battles are due Fridays, and the 48 lines/650 words limit has now become either/or, so as long as you're under one of them, you are fine.

Here are the matchups:

Just Write (1-0) vs. El Pancake (1-0) | "I never said I would stay to the end." — Robert Smith
Frank (1-0) vs. Clockwerk (1-0) | "Even in defeat, there's a valuable lesson learned." — Jay Z
Mike Wrecka (1-0) vs. Vividlyvague (1-0) | "You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past." — Bruce Springsteen
Vulgar (1-0) vs. H4ZE (1-0) | "To live outside the law, you must be honest." — Bob Dylan
Cereal_Killa (1-0) vs. patrown(1-0) | "Who needs peace when you can profit from being right?" — Eyedea
ZYG (1-0) vs. oats (1-0) | "Winning isn't everything, and this is not a race." — Aceyalone
Diode (1-0) vs. Adonis (1-0) | "Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away." — Neil Young
Greed (1-0) vs. Ink (1-0) | "No one knows what it's like to be the bad guy." — Pete Townshend
timeless (1-0) vs. TYSON (0-1) | "Rain comes out the sky every time somebody dies." — Nas
Pinot Grij (0-0) vs. fresh (0-0) | "All we know is the beginning. Nobody controls the way that it ends." — Royce da 5'9"
Innovator (0-1) vs. Totoro (0-1) | "He who will die is he who will kill." — Joe Strummer
Exoduzt (0-1) vs. King Ra. (0-1) | "Walking side by side with death, the devil mocks their every step." — Robert Plant
sacrifice (0-1) vs. Objective (0-1) | "I hope you wake up in time for the revolution." — Common
dull boy (0-1) vs. dyedinthewool (0-1) | "I don't care what you think, unless it is about me." — Kurt Cobain
maths debate (0-1) vs. neutral (0-1) | "Exploitation is the world's oldest occupation." — Ras Kass
WZA (0-1) vs. YDK (0-1) | "I'm not half the man I used to be." — Paul McCartney

I am allowing a one-time leniency on not voting, in that @TYSON, @Totoro, @Innovator and @Kyzo may turn their losses to wins by voting on three extra battles this week. This one-time-per-competitor opportunity (excluding Week 16, obviously) will be available throughout the season, though not voting will eliminate you from the playoff automatic qualifer.

Also, I let the small handful of those who lost in Week 1 and didn't vote stay in the league, but that won't happen again for anyone.

Shit, that's my fault. I knew I would forget someone. You're in.

timeless · 03-03-2014, 03:28 AM

Alright cool thanks man. I was gonna ask you earlier just to make sure, least I caught it before battles went up lol

Certain · 03-03-2014, 03:29 AM

As an addendum to the voting links thing, @Totoro, you only owe me two extra links because I see you voted on Vulgar vs. King Ra.

oats · 03-03-2014, 03:38 AM

Nice, good luck @ZYG

Props certain for having this all ready Togo so quickly

e11even · 03-03-2014, 03:57 AM

Cool beans. Gotta tighten up. Great job guys.

dyedinthewool · 03-03-2014, 04:01 AM

Hm

Certain · 03-03-2014, 04:08 AM

All records should be updated. ZYG opened his battle thread at 4:05 a.m. ET. I'm guessing a verse will be up in no fewer than three hours.

Good night.

Then the same deal applies to you. Vote on two extra matches (five total), and your loss becomes a win.

TYSON · 03-03-2014, 04:44 AM

Voting is my kryptonite

dyedinthewool · 03-03-2014, 04:52 AM

I should probably do the write thing and start now instead of last minute...

Will vote on every battle this week to make up for last week. Snow storm blew the power out so I had to get my son to my parent's house.

Diode · 03-03-2014, 09:07 AM

Keep picking against me, folks. It's only worked out for you never.

There's only one person I have an L against and it was a NS.

See you soon, @El Pancake

PancakeBrah · 03-03-2014, 10:21 AM

Soon enough! I'll imitate your style if we square off.

@Certain are mags scheduled to go up Tuesdays like last season?
