FVC Membership Contest Round 1 (Text)

[AfterThought]

AfterThought's vote on ~SHINIGAMI~ Vs BP Pride:

~SHINIGAMI~ Vs BP Pride

I thought ~SHINIGAMI~ chose the wrong winner, to begin with. So his expo didn't really mean anything or show his accuracy at all to me. On the other hand, BP Pride pointed out the flaws in the verses & broke down the lines to give an accurate vote, although I think giving the winner 1 rate above the loser wasn't necessary. I'm not judging on how big both contestant's expos were, it's still quality > quality, but my vote goes to BP Pride.

Ill Phenom Vs. MadVerbs
Ill Phenom: -***Exiled Samurai: 5 / SWISHER: 3
MadVerbs -*** Exiled Samurai: 4 / SWISHER: 3
Expo: MadVerbs expo was decent for a regular voter. I would have been happy as fuck to get guys like that on my battles, but it was somewhat vague for a FVC member. I would have liked to seen more detailed breakdowns and less generalities. Ill Phenom did very well with pointing out specifics in lines and was clear and concise in his overall expo. Both were solid votes, but I have to go with Phenom for going the extra mile here.
Choice: Ill Phenom
-------------------------------
Student Vs Phenomenon
Student-*** BLUNT MAN: 5 / Slithz: 4
Phenomenon- ***BLUNT MAN: 6 / Slithz: 5
Expo: Damn this was a hard decision. Both of you broke down the battle in a clear, concise manner and pointed out issues that needed addressing. Both spoke to the battlers in a fair tone which if it had been me on the recieving end, would have shown great appreciation for. If I could choose you both, I would have. Seriously, I enjoyed reading your expos. But since the world sucks and there must be a winner, I'm going to break it with scoring and an 'it' factor.
Student's scoring was closer to the mark than Phenom's. BOTH would have been fair and acceptable, but since we're splitting hairs...
The other thing that made me choose Student was the simple offer for additional help through PM. It was just something threw in there at seeeing verses that could use improvement and he offered his experience if they wished to talk more. I don't expect any FVC guy to do this as a duty, but as an extra touch, it swayed me. Keep up the good work guys, FVC or not. It helps build this site's integrity in the box and sets examples for others to follow.
Choice: Student
------------------------
Talk Sick Vs ACs Bitch
TalkSick - misscigar: 2 / ***Revan: 5
ACs Bitch- misscigar: 5 / ***Revan: 7
Expo: First off, Don't ever address another voter in a voting comment. You're there to comment on the battle before you. Both broke the battle and pointed out examples where improvement was needed. I felt ACs expo was a little more member friendly. I felt TalkSick mentioning things like bar line count was a little excessive and would have went over a lot of peoples heads (You write as if you don't know who they are)
Scoring felt a little low for one and a little high for the other, but within a fair range depending how criticizing you with to be. I probably would have gone 3-6 or so, but I'm not voting god. I went with AC for the breakdown and advice. That's not to say I wouldn't want to see TalkSick in FVC, but I'm forced to choose.
Choice: ACs Bitch
-------------------------
ILLoKWENT™ vs Path

ILLoKWENT™ - ***Haphazard: 4 / jiegee: 3
Path- Haphazard: 5 / ***jiegee: 6
Expo: This is a battle and for that fact, I felt Illokwent voted for the wrong person. Though the other verse was sloppy, it had more creativity and punches. Like in street fighting, pretty doesn't always win it. Unfortunately, that is pretty big, because I enjoyed his expo and advice. I thought he did well. Path picked out a few details an pointed out lines that did well, he also empathized with their noobness. Sometimes new kids need to hear it's ok they suck. Taking scoring into consideration: Illo scored this battle properly, as it was about a 4-3 battle at best, but I'll take a higher scored battle for the right person over a fairly scored wrong vote.
Choice: Path
Advice: Illokwent - Try to look past the obvious and dig into each verse when you read it to see what each is trying to do. I could definately see you making FVC soon if you'd do that.

---------------------------
Dave vs Skilligan™
Dave- ***krustyclown841: 3 / xiTom: 2
Skilligan™-***krustyclown841: 4 / xiTom: 3
Expo: Both expos were helpful to the battlers and pointed out deficiencies that made them vote a certain way. Dave went into a little more detail by singling out multi's that I caught while reading each verse. I thought Skilligan's positive look was nice, sometimes brutal hoesty will change mindsets and actions. Good work to both of you.
Choice: Dave
------------------------
BP Pride vs ~SHINIGAMI~
BP Pride- ACs Bitch: 6 /*** Path: 7
~SHINIGAMI~- ***ACs Bitch: 6 / Path: 6
Expo: First off, I felt ~SHINIGAMI~ voted for the wrong person.
As for expos of their votes.
~SHINIGAMI~ 's expo was somewhat vague for what I'm expecting out of a FVC member. Don't get me wrong, for a normal vote, I'd be ecstatic to see that in every battle and hope such voting becomes a trend, but it lacked in precision. I was looking for details, which punches came light, which multi was broken, etc...
BP Pride's expo was a little too much, but if he had NOT posted the entire verses and kept everything to one comment box, it would have been very close to what I like to see: A clear, concise breakdown of a battle and examples how to better themselves. BP, if you make it forward, Don't post the verses in comments, people can read them in the battle. If you must cite a specific multi or punch, keep it brief.
Choice:BP Pride
