Week 8 Chat & Predictions.

[Nigma]

I got a quote and a picture, and a reference to a movie, I do not comprehend

[King Ra.]

Your focus is on the quote. I just added the pics for that extra extra. Focus on the quotes.

[Adonis]

INK vs. Vulgar...BTW easily

I'll go INK due to my personal taste, but assuming they both come with the usual gifted potency, you can't call it.

Nigma vs. Adonis...never will I say I'll lose

Innovator vs. Mac – Still don't think I've read mac, will do this week...so IDK??

CDM vs. split – CDM over powering here, but I see the experiments so it could be a miss any week.

ZenLand vs. TopicalDood5 – Topical is dope, both are, but I'll take topical in a close one.

Championship
Frank vs. Zygote – I will take the upset, I've been reading Zy closely and feel he has the talent to beat anyone, so why not?

#1 Contender
King Keith vs. Mike Wrecka - Very close battle, I feel like your styles are fairly similar. However, I've seen you each drop fire and each drop less then stellar. Coin flip, I'll go Keith

Pohfig vs. Red Glare - This is a very good matchup, but I saw the topic, and Pohfig should slay the shit out of that. Pohfig wins big

Witty vs. Cereal Killer - Ck is has been on another planet to me, I can't envision him losing to anyone this week.

Genocide vs. IamBent - Don't remember Genocides style or talent level, but Bent is pretty good. Should be a close one???

Aesthetic vs. Objective - Objective seems realitivly new to writing considering the one verse I read from him, so I'll go with the more polished Aes although I'm not overly familiar with either.

Devil Reject vs. Hello Kitty - I've read Hello Kitty before, and you owe me feed for that, but unsure of Devil reject, love the name though.

Xces vs. Que - haven't read either, but Que votes well so assuming he writes half decent I'll give him the blind vote...Also it doesn't hurt he has the best Avy I've ever seen

Venom vs. Juxtapose - Don't know a thing about either.

[King Ra.]

@Split @Adonis can you choose the movie quote for my match up? One of you. Everyone else is set.

[King Ra.]

Magazine will be posted tomorrow night. Yes, I said it- TOMORROW NIGHT. I'm the King, I do this son.

[Ink]

getting topics together is alot harder than i expected. gees..
mostly cause i know you guys will be bored by the things i find interesting x.x

[King Ra.]

You see how I felt tonight Ink, lol. But I blame myself, I had forgot to have that ready. Challenging week. I expect greatness.

[King Ra.]

Power Rankings & conference/division realignment/standings will be revealed in the mag tomorrow as well. Holler. I'm out!!!

[Adonis]

@King Keith




You'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

If your name isn't posted; I have not seen your work sorry.

Some dope lineups im looking forward too a war. A lot of you are gonna cut close

[Juxtaposition]

Anyone care to clarify how I go about writing on that topic in my battle thread?

I see a picture, and then a quote, I suppose on a specific event.

Am I supposed to write a piece with that as my subject matter or... can I use the ideas conveyed from that event and use it as a guideline, like a thesis to write my own angle?

In any form of topical or story telling league or battle. Myself personally, I always think it best to take your own skew on things. It will separate your writing from that of the opponent if he takes it blindly at literal face value, and it brings more of yourself into the piece.

i believe the quote is the foundation and the picture is an optional reference point.. im not sure on the individual quotes tho, the approach is up to you we're not gonna DQ you

[Juxtaposition]

Ah, I just looked up this film...

Seems it was a propaganda piece written to inspire sympathy for the rebellious sailors suffering under cruel overlords and such...

Pleasant to have something in my wheelhouse right off the bat =).


Also thank you for the responses.
