    Can anyone here make a rhyme that does not rhyme line-to-line? It's ugly when you do it the whole time.

    It's called Multi-s. They really make a rap/freestyle better. Look at some of Rakim's work. I use multi-s when I rap, it's not, as you say, "ugly".

    And verse #3 is in. Not as good as my 2nd one, but then again I didn't have two days to just think about punchlines and it's early.

    This voting is messed up. If the other people competing in this game were smart, they could just vote for the person who did worse. That way they get an easier opponent in the next round. Something is wrong with that.

    To make everything easier we should probably add polls to the threads.

    Yeah I kinda agree...it seems a little shady.

    That wouldn't really help the situation. I think some people believe people are voting based on bias or to "return the favor" or something. To clear that up, I guess we could instill a pannel of 3-5 judges that are fixed and will not show bias when making thier descisions in the coming rounds.

    The problem with Swish's idea is that we don't know who the matchups are going to lead to (eg: Even if I wanted to vote out MrJ because he was too good, I don't know if I'm facing the winner of that matchup). I know it's possible, but I didn't really get the impression that it was happening. I mean, Voodoo Child got more votes than vcwannabe15.

    The bigger problem is that we're going to have to give someone a bye for the next round. I PM'd Brian about it, but that's something that us rappers definitely can't be apart of.

    I understand that this whole process has been really confusing as of late, but remember this is our first time doing this, and I'm sure we will improve. I like the idea of having 3 unbiased selected judges voting. Maybe we will use that format in round 2?

    Also, I know there is a problem because we have 14 participants, and 7 will advance to the second round. That leaves 1 member with no competition. What I plan on doing is letting everyone vote for who you think did the best in the first round. The winner will then get a second round bye. (idea came from Chutney)

    Again, I'm so sorry that this whole thing has been so confusing. But it will improve over time. For now? Just bear with it [​IMG]

    What do you mean by a second round bye? Does that mean they don't have to compete in the second round and just take a winner in the 3rd?
