the proper phrase is that he rustled a lot of jimmies

Mods are so inconsistent

He has an open mic out now. Letters to Indiana. Its really quite good. You two have about as opposite of styles as possible so I could see you not enjoying it.

I didn't run Season 1. didn't even mod it. just competed

some things have changed. I felt , and if I remember correctly you agreed, that 16 was too many people to let in. so I have made it 12. with a first round bye for top four.

this means if you finish in the top four by your first battle its an eight person tournament. that seems right.

and the beauty is that 12 is just the right amount to keep the people that signed up late to have a chance to make the playoffs.

dead man · 11-13-2013, 04:54 PM

if i sign in next week for the remainder of the season is there a statistical chance for me to place in playoffs?

it doesn't look promising :/

Mike Wrecka · 11-13-2013, 05:01 PM

you could end up with 3 wins. you would need a lot of the people with three wins right now to lose a couple of battles. but being last years champion is a pretty strong tie breaker in my eyes.

give it a go. you will be battling people that are fighting for that 12th spot so you could knock them out

I disagreed with much of what he wrote. This stood out: "Mike Wrecka's edge also depends less on the angle and more on his rhymes."

That's like the opposite of true.

PancakeBrah · 11-13-2013, 05:41 PM

Hmmmm. Valid point.

ya he's basing that off my style in Season 1

PancakeBrah · 11-13-2013, 06:25 PM

Granted I run into the problem of lack of familiarity when writing reviews and sometimes base them off possibly flawed preconceptions.

Mike Wrecka · 11-13-2013, 06:28 PM

I run into the problem of only reading half the battles im reviewing. winging is a lot easier in a video.

Geno · 11-13-2013, 06:41 PM

Ill be back next week. Wouldn't mind seeing deadman upon my return

All one may say is, "well, that's life." I don't think it's easier. It's just what you decide to say, as both situations are statements of rhetoric.

I will shut up now.

Good point, I haven't been very attentive I just looked at last weeks battles and it fit the bil a little bit.

I like everyone's writing. I was just being incisive and critical

Certain · 11-13-2013, 08:48 PM

I don't like everyone's writing.

But I usually like Split Eight's.

King Ra. · 11-13-2013, 09:05 PM

@Mike Wrecka @Certain if I win out (which means that I'd be 4-4) would that seal my playoff birth being that I probably have one of the toughest schedules this season? Say yes, or I'll wreak bloody havoc with no mercy.
