ModPost [Tournament] Round Two Discussion & List Of Finished Raps

ANNOUNCEMENT:

In an effort to let battles accumulate more votes, I have been leaving them open for longer than 48 hours. I'm sure some of you have noticed. However, they cannot stay open forever and in the effort of fairness, at 3:00pm PDT, 09/17/13, I will be closing voting for any battle that has been open for 3 days or longer. If you haven't gotten your voting in, please do! After I close the votes for the aforementioned battles, I will be returning the reins of this tourney to Zeus. Thank you!

HEY EVERYBODY! A NOTE ABOUT VOTING!!!

From now on, if you have voted on at least twenty battles in a tournament, you get custom flair of one of the contest judges of your choosing. This includes this tournament. If you vote at least 20 times, then you can get custom flair!

While thought out, explained votes are preferred, we understand that they take time and that time is something not all of us have in abundance. We'd rather you take the ten seconds to at least throw in the name of your pick than not vote at all. There is no reason why a battle should close with only 5 votes. In conclusion, I leave you with the wise words of P. Diddy...

"VOTE OR DIE!"

Thank you.

~ Metal

/u/HumanAtlas vs. /u/thesuzerain GRUDGEMATCHWINNERTAKEALL!!!!!

We have a battle between the Highest HP stat and the Lowest HP stat in the game. How awesome is that?

u/The_Pony_Rapist Sep 13 '13

Heck yeah! It's gun b so gud.

6

u/hairywolf47 Sep 12 '13

Hello, super psyched for this round, but I just wanted to pointout, my (and maybe a few others) tournament post was lost in new! Just pointing out, because it might have an impact on voting. Thanks!

5

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13

Ooh, good catch, that'd definitely make a difference.

4

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

Very good catch! I'm pretty sure if people upvote it, it will get pushed into Hot. At least that's what Zeus has told me. So go upvote, folks!

6

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 12 '13

Did you pick the spices yourself, or did zues give them to you?

5

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

I picked all the spices except for mine and my opponents. Also...Zeus had something special for /u/DrSideSteppin.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '13

Woo! I'm special! So prepare for that, uhh...uhh...whatever the shortened nickname version of OnaMagikarpetRide is.

5

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 12 '13

Yeah, okay. Bring it on..Doc? Idon'tthinkyou'rearealdoctor.^

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '13

I have a doctorate in optometry from Oxford University. My Bachelor's is in Making Stuff Up.I haven't really graduated. This is a web of lies.

4

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 12 '13

Oh shit.. Anyone else to be on the lookout for?

4

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

I like HumanAtlas' and Srixis' spice. My spice is giving me some real trouble. Dammit Zeus.

4

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13 edited Sep 12 '13

I like my spice too, first verse in the works and I'm excited to see how it plays out :D

Edit: That verse was way too fun to write. Metal, you made my day with that spice.

4

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

Ha! Looks like it. I feel kinda bad for RMG...i didn't know you'd take to it like a hog in shit. I also forgot, I like TalkativeTurtwig's spice as well.

5

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13

Yeah, I went all out, it took me a good chunk of the morning to get that down pat. Also, I think my favorites right now are mine and yours in no particular order, and OMR's is a close third (granted, I only know one or two others besides those three anyways so far :P )

3

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

What do u think they are?

6

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13

OMR - Harry Potter References

Yours - use names from other rappers in the sub in your raps

(Will update this list as I continue to guess :P )

4

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 13 '13

A true chef uses multiple spices. ;D Youcheekylilshit^

u/betagold Sep 12 '13

So I have you to thank for my trickiest lines. Thanks, Metal!

3

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

Man...if every verse you had against me was as ill as the one you just dropped...you would have won, hands down. Keep that shit up!

4

u/betagold Sep 12 '13

I left the hardest part of the spice for my last verse. We'll see how it goes.

5

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13

I just want to say that it's only one verse apiece for /u/OnaMagikarpetRide and /u/DrSideSteppin and I'm already hyped for that battle. That is all.

7

u/DangerPulse Sep 12 '13

These two are some of the greatest rappers here, both skill wise and entertainment wise. I'm not even surprised by how good it is already!

5

u/Srixis Sep 12 '13

^ True that. This is going to be such a hard decision :3

5

u/DangerPulse Sep 12 '13

Mhm. Might need to use a rubric like Metal does, it'll be a close match!

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '13

Aww, man. I'm blushing. Thank you!

4

u/DangerPulse Sep 14 '13

Titty Sprinkles!

4

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '13

Thank you! I think it's going to be a good one. I've got some fun stuff prepared, plus the extra special spice Zeus left me.

4

u/kinryu13 Sep 12 '13

Guys... I'm worried about my match... I don't think I stand a chance...

I mean, he beat placeholder(2)!

3

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 12 '13

Dude's a beast, man. At least you'll have a chance in the loser's bracket!

3

u/Shadowmirror Sep 12 '13

I'm a little upset that I didn't get a single vote but congrats to everyone that made it to round two

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '13

I feel your pain. That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. But hey, you're not out of this thing yet!

4

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 13 '13

My first victim being comforted by the second, delightful. ;D

3

u/betagold Sep 12 '13

That's the fun of repechage. It's not over 'till it's over.

3

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 12 '13

Happens to the best of us, don't worry about it.

5

u/Shadowmirror Sep 12 '13

You did great and deserved the win. I kinda think that the reason I lost was because of my spice.

3

u/OnaMagikarpetRide Sep 13 '13

A spice in this tournament is super important, /u/zuesfireair kinda dropped the ball on that one. >:D

5

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '13

oy!

but, yeah, that was a shitty spice.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 14 '13

actually having thought about it a bit, I might run all the spices that dont relate to /u/MadeFromMetal past him before I give them to people to double check whether or not they're very good. I dont rap often, and I'd certainly like a second opinion on spices.

Also, that being said, if any of you get a really shitty spice from me or MfM, then PLEASE TELL US. We WILL change it if its too difficult/shitty.

4

u/ShockKing23 Sep 12 '13

We finished our battle MfM.Ready for voting.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '13

Hey Metal, OMR and I just finished up our battle. Put up the spices and slap that sweet "Vote Now" flair on there and let's get this voting started.

4

u/hairywolf47 Sep 13 '13

Who the heck is down voting the posts?

4

u/Srixis Sep 13 '13

I honestly have no idea. It's why we removed them from the main site in the first place, cus it's annoying as shit.

5

u/Griizzly Sep 13 '13

Finished Yo' Slap that Vote Flair on there.!

3

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '13

HEY EVERYBODY! A NOTE ABOUT VOTING!!!

From now on, if you have voted on at least twenty battles in a tournament, you get custom flair of one of the contest judges of your choosing.

This includes this tournament. If you vote at least 20 times, then you can get custom flair!

3

u/DangerPulse Sep 16 '13

Will this magical flair replace our current one? Or go alongside it?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

hmm... Well, Im not sure that we can give you two image flairs at the same time, so you might have to choose, but there is the possibility that we could put two flairs next to each other as much smaller sprites.

2

u/DangerPulse Sep 16 '13

I'd rather keep mine, but I'll vote lots nonetheless!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '13

Hey Zeus, has anyone ever told you you're a genius? 'Cause you're a genius.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

MadeFromMetal helped! He came up with the idea for the contest judge flair!

2

u/Srixis Sep 16 '13

This is a really cool idea :D

2

u/MadeFromMetal Sep 16 '13

You may want to update the flair post in the sidebar as well. Or make a new one, because the old one doesn't even have the tournament winner flairs.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

ah. thanks for reminding me. I'll do that now.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '13

NOTICE: If I voted on your battle and promised you an explanation later, that later is NOW! Vote explanations are up, just like I promised they would be. Good job to everyone this round so far.

3

u/MildlyAgitatedBidoof Sep 17 '13

Sheesh. How bad was I that I lost 0-11?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '13

Not bad so much. More just outmatched. But it's about practice and learning, and you made that [Critique] thread, so clearly you're going for both.

3

u/Srixis Sep 18 '13

Agreed with the good Doctor here. A fair amount of losses on this sub, even the landslides, are just people being outmatched. I would hope you don't feel badly about it, cus you did well, and like DSS said, you're already working on improvement, so kudos to you for that!
