The battle closes in 10 hours. If your opponent doesn't vote by then, you will automatically get all 3 judge points for the round.

@AfterThought We REALLY need your votes on this bro...as soon as you have time! ROUND 2 has already started.

My first round is still only one Mod vote deep...I believe @RULE was to subsitute for RhetoriK formy judging (crew affiliation i presume)......Neither him nor @AfterThought has dropped a judgement...... :s @NOBLE

Il subsitute for these guys if the "no-show" persists. (Seriously, if worse comes to worse)

I had the votes typed...then I didn't drop em when I saw round 2 was up so I thought round 1 was over. You know, usually round 2 starts when round 1 ends lol, will drop em now.

If thats the case then...*wipes forehead*....Somthin should change about that, These shouldnt be left in the fate of one mans hands.....Best 2/3 on all judgmet votes at least.

we only got 2 points on our 1st round battle? some battles had 3 and looks like some only got 1, bit unfair if some battles get more mod votes than the others, then those ppl r obviously gonna come higher up in the rankings 4 this

@TalkSick @Path, the mods who haven't voted for round 1 will still get to it when they get a chance. Don't worry. EVERY battle will get 3 votes one way or another. @AfterThought, this is not an elimination tourney where the subsequent rounds depends on the previous rounds' results, so there is no problem with starting ROUND 2 if all the judges votes from ROUND 1 hasn't been tallied. What matters is the final tally of all votes after all 3. I'm assuming you've been busy but I'm sure you will get to it when you have time. I was just reminding you that they still need your votes even though ROUND 2 is open.

@ILLoKWENT™ vs @Path
http://www.letsbeef.com/battle_detai...n=tb&id=442864
ILLoKWENT™ Voted: Haphazard: 4 / jiegee: 3
Path Voted: Haphazard: 5 / jiegee: 6
To start off, I read the battle and I didn't think Haphazard won, so I think ILLoKWENT chose the wrong winner. From your expo, your reason seem to be based primarily on structure. You felt Haphazard came with better structure and advised jiegee to make his structure more like Hap's. To me, their structure was pretty much the same...the only difference was Haphazard typed his line by line, whereas jiegee had his lines running into each other with no clear way of distinguishing when a line begins or ends other than the flow. Neither one capitalized their multies or use demarcation slashes (/). In the battle itself, I felt jiegee was a bit more aggressive and that is where Path got it correct. They both were basic and I feel ILLoKWENT's rating was more accurate ( I would have given it a 3-3). Path, your rating was a bit high imo, but due to the fact that you chose the right winner and I didn't fully agree with ILLoKWENT's expo about the structure, Path gets my vote.

@TalkSick vs @vvvv
vvvv Voted: misscigar: 5 / Revan: 7
TalkSick Voted: misscigar: 2 / Revan: 5
I think both gave good expos in this one with the exception on a couple pointers. I didn't agree with vvvv's bit about the use of slashes taking up space or Revan's verse being over-decorated. I also think he rated both emcees a bit high for that particular battle. I've seen Revan go much harder than that, but I probably would have rated that battle 4-6 in Revan's favor. TalkSick's rating was more accurate, but 2 was a bit low for misscigar imo. I would have given him a 3 minimum. TalkSick gave a good expo, but I think some of what you were saying might have gone over misscigar's head judging from where he seems to be at skillwise. I think what he needed most is to know how to improve, and if you had given some examples, it would have benefited him more. Instead you pointed him to some battlers to read to improve certain aspects, but I think he would need to get a handle on some basic things first before he can even look at those battler's verses and know what to look for. He'd have to get a clear understanding of what wordplay is supposed to be first before he can read a NawkOut verse and understand what makes him so good at it and begin to emulate properly. But everything you said was on point. Like I said, you both gave adequate expos, but I'm giving my vote to TalkSick.
