The Finals: Magazine, Predictions, Interview, Awards
Greetings, future Hall of Famers, textees of all ages and creeds. Welcome to the last edition of the Martyr topical tournament's biweekly magazine. This project has been a big success, thanks to all of your participation, creativity, and guts. Your submissions have been ballsy, and you've approached topics with an open mind/heart. New faces are now staples of the topical community simply for stepping up and showing their skills! I will try to recognize some of them in this brief production. A Look at the Finals Quote:
Strengths: Clutter is a gifted storyteller with a knack for writing down-to-earth tales using literary wording. He's very careful with each line, and has become a craftsman in that sense. Many topicalists, myself included, have fallen to his sword during his stay here. Weaknesses: An all out balls-to-the-wall epic can defeat him, I believe. Someone like Pent uP or Soulstice can beat Clutter 50% of the time, in my eyes, while others may have slimmer chances, mainly due to Clutter's consistency and spirit for competition. Track record for high-stakes matches: Highly successful. Clutter champed the Winter Topical last year, and he's been undefeated since then. Road to the finals: Sn00p, Veritas, Ullr, UnbornBuddha vs. Quote:
Weaknesses: An elite-level verse is definitely within Mr. J's reach, and he's expanded on that evolving status during the duration of his time here on NC's. I haven't seen him really take it to let's say, 10 consecutive opponents - he tends to get hot and cold intermittently, either because of fluctuations with commitment or up and down patterns of inspiration. Track record for high stakes matches: Medium success level. He has champed the AOWL before, which supports his case. Road to the finals: UnbornBuddha, Certain, Pent uP, Razah Predictions: Win or lose, they are both martyrs at this point... for better or worse... End of the Tournament Awards The Workhorse @Genocide The workhorse took on an unbearable workload, and managed to ride through into Valhalla with a warrior's resolve. Geno was the Evander Holyfield of the tournament, coming through with solid verses and a ton of votes. Momentary Firewalker @Pent uP The firewalker had a momentary time to shine, with temporary bursts of brilliance. His showings against Geno and Soulstice were not easy performances to forget, but 'lo and behold, the firewalker fizzled out and extinguished itself until the resurrection starts again. Best Rookie @Ullr The best rookie of the tournament was definitely Ullr, who burst onto the scene with excellent stuff. He brought it to his opponents and made it farther than most would have expected. He'll be back, I'm sure, to make a definitive mark on the lime green landscape. Most Consistent @UnbornBuddha and @Clutterbuck These two pigeon wigs are defining what it means to be reverends of a new intraweb aristocracy. They've been writing their asses off lately, and their clash last week proved to be worthy of the names they've made for themselves on Netcees 3.0. The Rising Star @Razah The Rising Star was a thorn in the side for formidable opponents this tournament. He wrote very well, introducing us to a different type of style than we're used to seeing, executed almost flawlessly. He is a threat from the newschool division of topicalists, and a rising star. Most Solidified Acumen @Mr. J The most solidified acumen award goes to Mr. J, a proven veteran of the past who displayed his lesser known talons during the tournament. His writing identity has crystallized, and his Joker chrysalis has gained in strength. People believe in him now. Some fear him. We'll see where the Legend of Mr. J goes in the future. Team Players @MMLP @Rakontur @Certain A big thanks to MMLP for being a team player and showing up to fight numerous times this tournament on short notice. Thanks for being game. Rakontur, thanks for your hard work on voting, get better soon bro. Certain, much appreciated for being a titan among topical moderators, and I wish you the best of luck in real-world-editing spheres. Just don't forget about us, faggot. Thanks to everyone else for being a part of this tournament and dropping commendable verses! Even if you showed up just to try it out, I appreciate your effort and the gesture of attempting something out of your comfort zone. This may be the last topical tournament I host, but I will be running the Lime Green Poetry Association (LGPA) with my dude @Innovator as long as I possibly can. Interview: UnbornBuddha Who is the man behind the Buddha statue? A short but thorough Q&A with the duke of holistic rhyme writing... What is your purpose on this Earth? Why do you believe you were born? Quote:
How exactly did you find out about Netcees, and topical writing in general? I imagine you and Zygote were both born Siamese twins. After being separated, he got into computer intel and extraterrestrial technology while you turned to holistic practices and Buddhist doctrines. Can you describe to the community your origins in your own words? Quote:
Conclusion And we're signing out... peace. Be a martyr or be a poor man's messiah. The choice is yours. It always has been. Last edited by Vulgar; 07-03-2015 at 03:54 PM. |

Nice work on this and best of luck to Clutter and Mr. J - I rescind my earlier dispute about our battle. You earned the win and earned the spot in this final. Kick some ass Clutter.
Thank you very much for the honor as well @Vulgar - Much appreciated. :)
