Week 10 rankings, predictions and chat
Season 3 That was a terrific week, wasn't it? The writing was excellent, the show rate was strong and the voting was well done and balanced. There only was one blowout, too. I'm proud of this league for Week 9. Let's make Week 10 just as good. The topics are quotes from Founding Fathers. If you're not American, that shouldn't change much, though. Here are the rankings and matchups, which were affected by numerous Week 9 winners signing out in an unusual move: Championship 1. El Pancake (5-2) 2. zygote (7-2) | “Facts are stubborn things.” — John Adams Contender match 3. Just Write (4-2) 4. Zombie (2-0) | “The one thing you can't do when you're highly ranked is relax.” — William Floyd 5. timeless (5-4) 6. Adonis (4-5) | “I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.” — Alexander Hamilton 7. Vulgar (4-1) 8. Split Eight (1-2) | “The slavery of fear makes men afraid to think.” — Thomas Paine 9. oats (8-1) 10. Perpendicular (0-0) | “Mankind is governed more by feelings than by reason.” — Samuel Adams 11. illergicreaxion (0-0) 12. Frank (6-3) | “All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.” — James Madison 13. Vividlyvague (5-3) 14. Johnathan Mercy (1-1) | “The only safe road to honor, glory and dignity is justice.” — George Washington 15. Smegma (0-1) 16. Certain (1-2) | “Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.” — Ben Franklin 17. dyedinthewool (1-3) 18. MMLP (0-3) | “We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power.” — William Ellerly

I totally forgot Vulgar and Split Eight battled recently. That was a great matchup, though, so I have no regrets.

Championship
1. El Pancake (5-2) 2. zygote (7-2) | “Facts are stubborn things.” — John Adams >> interesting. i think the outcome very much depends on a combination of Zygote's angle as well as Pancake's inspiration. Topic says Zy. Contender match 3. Just Write (4-2) 4. Zombie (2-0) | “The one thing you can't do when you're highly ranked is relax.” — William Floyd >>Just Write will writer a sniper verse and it will be incredible. idk who will win 5. timeless (5-4) 6. Adonis (4-5) | “I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.” — Alexander Hamilton >> Adonis has the poetic touch to realize this visiom. 7. Vulgar (4-1) 8. Split Eight (1-2) | “The slavery of fear makes men afraid to think.” — Thomas Paine >> @Vulgar Good luck, friend. The reinvention of the wheel. 9. oats (8-1) 10. Perpendicular (0-0) | “Mankind is governed more by feelings than by reason.” — Samuel Adams >> oats 11. illergicreaxion (0-0) 12. Frank (6-3) | “All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.” — James Madison >> illergicreaxion will never sign into this site again in a stunning turn of events. frank will recycle and lose anyways :) 13. Vividlyvague (5-3) 14. Johnathan Mercy (1-1) | “The only safe road to honor, glory and dignity is justice.” — George Washington >> BOTW 15. Smegma (0-1) 16. Certain (1-2) | “Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.” — Ben Franklin >>Certain but not by much 17. dyedinthewool (1-3) 18. MMLP (0-3) | “We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power.” — William Ellerly DITW but hope @MMLP brings the heat

Damn, maybe I've matured as a reader/ voter but this league is way deep with talent right now. Hard to pick winners with any confidence.
Gonna have to start writing for opponents, now. Haha I've battled Vulgar more than I have anyone else on this site, I believe.

Second week in a row I went to sleep okay with having lost only to wake up with a win
Weird. Props to @oats for the verse he submitted. Probably the highest quality match I've been a part of |

On a serious note, Zygote probably wrote the verse of his life just now.
Wow. Well done.

Championship
1. El Pancake (5-2) 2. zygote (7-2) | “Facts are stubborn things.” — John Adams Great matchup of diff styles. A must see. Contender match 3. Just Write (4-2) 4. Zombie (2-0) | “The one thing you can't do when you're highly ranked is relax.” — William Floyd This will be epic, but Zombie dope though. 5. timeless (5-4) 6. Adonis (4-5) | “I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.” — Alexander Hamilton Adonis all the way, if voters can get over his knack for brevity. 7. Vulgar (4-1) 8. Split Eight (1-2) | “The slavery of fear makes men afraid to think.” — Thomas Paine I think I see Split doing this better, but both are a powerhouse. BOTW? 9. oats (8-1) 10. Perpendicular (0-0) | “Mankind is governed more by feelings than by reason.” — Samuel Adams Oats over aliases. 11. illergicreaxion (0-0) 12. Frank (6-3) | “All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree.” — James Madison Haven't read reaxion so I'll go with the favorite by default. 13. Vividlyvague (5-3) 14. Johnathan Mercy (1-1) | “The only safe road to honor, glory and dignity is justice.” — George Washington Goodluck, Sir. 15. Smegma (0-1) 16. Certain (1-2) | “Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.” — Ben Franklin I see Certain smashing this topic. Hopefully he'll dive for all the loose balls. And by balls I mean testicles. 17. dyedinthewool (1-3) 18. MMLP (0-3) | “We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power.” — William Ellerly This screams Dyed. I see NeoHippy all over this lol. No offense. Term of endearment.

Let's chill out there, hoss.
I know you love me and that verse probably made your frail little heart skip a beat but there's no need to talk about other peoples verses in here. |
