Vulgar (3-0) served up TopicalDood5's first loss of the season & will earn a chance to get into a title match against ZeeDee, as he pulled off a 7-3 win.

"It's so cold - they're either frozen or prone to explosive conniptions" Great line - it really was the beginning of the momentum you failed to create within the first stanza. The schemes your fond of worked well there until the last few lines were you once again took your foot off the gas; creating a passive like segway into a even 'passiver' finale. The singsong schemes had a fade feel to them; but they were not conclusively powerful; where as a more traditional scheme may have succeeded with that. But again, you have your own style. Your writers voice began to shine through and it clinched the battle for you.

I would say this is more along the topic of the decay of society or evolution, but it does do enough on this topic too... there are a lot of lines that are worded nicely and caught my attention... you went through awie variations of examples of showing the weaknesses within the capitalistic systems of government we live in and did more to make t amusing with light hearted punchlines of reality in this system can even contradict iself just by living within it.. that was pretty cool...





In a match of two under the rader writers, Nigma (5-3) got back to his winning ways, as he gave Mike Wrecka (5-5) his fifth loss of the season in an impressive 8-2 win.

Overall, Enigma had gave a grander scheme in relation to the topic, but Mike Wrecka had a better self-contained message and more interesting take on the topic.

We agreed to scrap it, won't tamper the plans
Since interacting in the past wouldn't actually happen
If planning to plan wasn't planned in advance hmm?


This verse had a unique flow - it was a fun read and I could relate to the writers voice behind it. 'What I learned in the shackles was worth the entrapment' was a powerful punch line in an otherwise superficial sea of wordplay. You nailed the agenda and summed it up in a serious; observant kind of way. Enjoyable read. Also nice touch catering to the 'love of your life' audience. Mike is the LL cool J of that shit.





zygote (8-1) makes it two successful title defenses in a row, as he was able to edge out Red glare (6-3), in a 5-3 nailbiter.

What I don't understand is the "Its 2013 and I work for the New York Times" line. Why is that there? It seemed it would've been best to leave that line out imo. But to be honest this was an amazing piece here really. Props.
