Week 11 rankings, predictions and chat
Season 3 Hi, all. I think I can say resolutely that we are coming off the best week of the season and really gaining momentum as we move toward the playoffs. This week's topics are a bit different than in the past story lead weeks. Basically, I'm presenting you with a generalized statement that can serve as the framework of your verse. It's something more along the lines of quote topics or even phrase topics. Take note that as we move closer to the playoffs, voting rules will be even more strictly followed. Part of that was knocking out anyone who lost and failed to vote and not giving a win to the one person who won but failed to vote. Here are the matchups and topics: Championship 1. zygote (8-2) 2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it. Contender match 3. timeless (6-4) 4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end. 5. Perpendicular (1-0) 6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself. 7. Vividlyvague (6-3) 8. Certain (2-2) | It'll make a man out of you. 9. Just Write (4-3) 10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together. 11. Mike Wrecka (4-5) 12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop? 13. Adonis (4-6) 14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore. 15. Vulgar (4-2) 16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you. 17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2) 18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore. 19. dead man (0-2) 20. Soulstice (0-2) | You need to figure out who you really are. * — MMLP can turn his loss last week into a win by voting on three extra battles this week.

Championship
1. zygote (8-2) 2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it. >>BOTW. Zombie edges it with fancy language, 55-45 Contender match 3. timeless (6-4) 4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end. >> good luck, man... and good luck to whoever has to face either Zy or Zombie next week haha. 5. Perpendicular (1-0) 6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself. >>Perpendicular. If he is who I didnt think he was. Such an open topic which means high possibility of pre-written verses. Dont matter as long as they werent used in a battle before. Good show potential. Perp 52-48 7. Vividlyvague (6-3) 8. Certain (2-2) | (To be determined.) >>Certain most likely, depending on the topic. Only because of polish, though. Viv's approach and discipline determines the outcome. Certain 70-30 9. Just Write (4-3) 10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together. >> Dope matchup. Just Write said he's reevaluating his writing, meaning temporary weakness for the sake of future strength, unless something *clicks* and he delivers right away. High probability of King Ra. no-show. JW 58-42 11. Mike Wrecka (4-5) 12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop? >> Topic is in MW's wheelhouse, but YDK is getting better. MW has superior cadence and storytelling prowess. MW 60-40 13. Adonis (4-6) 14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore. >> ill match. havent read a @Cereal_Killa verse in awhile and i hope @Adonis brings a fully realized verse. CK 61-39 15. Vulgar (4-2) 16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you. >> 9.4/10 dream match. Vulgar's new shoes will be fully shined. Vulgar 50-50 17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2) 18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore. MMLP had a good no-show verse, JM is an enigma to me. A talented, calculating enjgma. JM 73-27 19. dead man (0-2) 20. Soulstice (0-2) | You need to figure out who you really are. BOTW #2. Topic says dead man, but Soulstice has time now so anything goes. DM 51-49

I predict being up 3-4 votes with an hour or so left and then quickly losing by a single vote.

My strategy this week is strictly to appeal to certain. That will ensure my victory.
I'm gonna write about a dashing young moderator who takes a fledgling league on his back and after a tough week, he writes an inspirational speech that turns the league around (as well as secures the heart of one "dyedinthewoods").

Championship
1. zygote (8-2) 2. Zombie (3-0) | No one has ever before seen anything like it. I got Zombie by a hair. Contender match 3. timeless (6-4) 4. Split Eight (2-2) | This can't be how it's supposed to end. Split Eight 11-0 5. Perpendicular (1-0) 6. Frank (7-3) | This is your chance to prove yourself. Frank got it. 7. Vividlyvague (6-3) 8. Certain (2-2) | It'll make a man out of you. Close one, got certain. 9. Just Write (4-3) 10. King Ra. (4-5) | We can do this if we work together. Another good one here. 11. Mike Wrecka (4-5) 12. YDK (3-3) | How will we ever make it stop? Kuhn got it if he shows. 13. Adonis (4-6) 14. Cereal_Killa (1-1) | It's the only thing that's important anymore. Another close call. 15. Vulgar (4-2) 16. oats (8-2) | The whole world is depending on you. I sense this will be a Champ match soon. botw. 17. Johnathan Mercy (1-2) 18. MMLP (0-4)* | Nothing really matters anymore.

And really certain. You won't take account for the gimmick, but you will comment on it? That's what we call a joke. And for what it's worth, in this case, your verse was part gimmick and shouldn't have had a single vote for. Millz won easy.

Did you not once complain that I'm too nice while voting. And you'd rather me just say I didn't like it? Still love you unconditionally bitch

@Diode, are you ever planning on rejoining us? Getting back in for Week 12 would be the wise move if the playoffs are your goal.
