Week 6 predictions and chat

[Mr. J]

Questioning is funny due to the looks of my avy as well



hilarity

[Zen]

@PancakeBrah what's a good arcade fire album to download? Give me a few if you don't mind.

[Certain]

@Zenland, there only are four. I'd rank them:

1. Funeral, one of my all-time favorites.
2. The Suburbs, which won the 2011 Grammy for best album.
3. Reflektor, the uneven but adventurous double album that officially comes out tomorrow.
4. Neon Bible, their second album, which has it's moments but is too cluttered.

I think without contest they're the best band of the past decade.

Hmm. Thank you ill download them all tomorrow. I keep hearing good things so I'm curious.

[PancakeBrah]

I rank them

1 Funeral
2 Neon Bible
3 The Suburbs

Haven't heard Reflektor yet. Neon and suburbs flip back and forth depending on my mood

[Adonis]

Mom's is a druggie now ex. Heroin addict. Questioning my child hood is dope, literally. Never had spoons or cereal cuz they were always bent and discolored due to flame and a bubble

[Certain]

Matches are edited into the OP. Make your picks.

Check zen, let's collab on this shit and have fun

I don't find these topics to be that restrictive at all. Quite the opposite really. They are always very open to interpretation and can be taken in many different directions. If you guys want I could post inspirational quotes and random graphic art pictures every other week. It would make my life easier. But I see this league as a step above others and im trying to be a little different with the topics. We have all competed in so many leagues it tends to get boring but ya I could go more traditional if you guys don't like it.

I responded in thread and deleted, I know you can still read it though

[Split]

I recommended a really similar topic theme n the WCL mod discussion thread... imo I'd put this sort of thing in the "challenge" category cos you can't just write a piece to it, you have to conform your piece around it

[breathless]

I'm actually pleased with the topic/parameter. I will try to put some work into it this week.

Hey im not going to get into a debate defending the topics. A lot of people seem to have liked them, some haven't. Week 1 was random graphic art, Week 2 was very straight forward quotes. We will go back there, don't worry. Just trying to not be redundant.

[Adonis]

Title Match: Mr. J (4-1) vs. Vividlyvague (4-1)

I'm going to say MJ here, but I actually think stylistically this will be very close and VV could pull a lopsided win out

Contendership: YDK (3-2) vs. Frank (3-2)

Always tough to vote against Frank. YDK is growing on me though

Vulgar (3-0) vs. Certain (4-1)

Mmmmm. I honestly haven't liked the last few things I've read from either. Leave it at that

PancakeBrah (2-1) vs. NYCSPITZ (2-2)

NY and Pancake are dope. I feel like u guys already battled this season??? I got Ny for more voter friendly verse.

Adonis (2-2) vs. Zenland (2-3)

Zen easy

Mike Wrecka (2-3) vs. breathless (2-2)

mike has signed out two weeks in a row yet competes. Breath for the W

King Ra. (1-3) vs. Split Eight (1-1)

Split wrote some next level shit last week. Split in a close one or king via no show

TYSON (1-0) vs. symetrik (1-1)

Symetrik via no show

Genocide (0-1) vs. Lexicon (1-2)

Dope. Angkor had something last week so I'll go him as I see him procrastinating less this week and trying to make up for breaking my heart last week.

Cope (0-0) vs. Witty (0-1)

Dope battle. Haven't seen either drop in a minute. Witty is ageless though so ill go him

ZYG (0-0) vs. Diode (0-0)

Zygote via no show

I'm not trying to go back and forth either. I hope you read it as I'm honest and blunt

[Certain]

Adonis, your persistent condescension is duly noted.

Fuck everyone's sympathy. No protection.

[Split]

Plan B on deck

[symetrik]

Also, anyone that's up for feed-backing my piece from last week (colour topicals) gets a guaranteed vote (not in favour of you, just on your battle) this week. Just hit me with a message, feedback in depth and I'll respond in kind as best I can.

Also, good luck Tyson. Almost done writing.
