(RBL Rules and Regulations Guidelines)

Failure To Recognize Or Abide By ANY Of These Rules Will Result In The Given Penalty That Regulates The Rules. And Continuous Bitching, Whining, And Excessive Complaining Will Result In Your Termination From RBL Until A Mod See's Fit For You To Return.
No Questions Asked Policy. You Break A Rule. You Pay The Price Period. NO EXCEPTIONS. Dont Care If Your Janitor/Jeff.
Now On To The Complete Rules And Regulations.

-BATTLES ARE DUE FRIDAY, MIDNIGHT EASTERN! (meaning if you post at 12:01am, you are late)
-VOTES ARE DUE SUNDAY, 10pm EASTERN (late votes will not count)

-Each battler is allowed to up their threads TWICE in a match.
before the battler(s) is penalized -1 vote for each up after the
entitled amount. Upping: (vote count,discussing votes,or just
replying period)

-You MUST vote on 6 battles EACH week & EDIT the vote links
in your "check in" posts. Failure to vote on ALL 6 will result in a
deduction of votes for the links you're missing. Meaning.. you
drop 4 links, you LOSE 2 votes automatically.

-Mininum Lines: 4 (2 Couplets)/ Max. Lines: 30 (15 Couplets)!
Also, battlers MUST agree on the amount of lines to be written
for each verse. If not, whoever drops first determines the MAX
line amount. For example, If I drop 16 first, without agreeing
my opponent cannot go MORE than 16 lines. If YOU DO go over the maximum line limit set. YOU LOSE -1 Vote For Each Couplet Over
** In a 3-Way Battle The Maximum Line Limit Is 20 Lines/10 Couplets
** In a 4-Way Battle The Maximum Line Limit Is 10 Lines/5 Couplets


-NO EDITING your verse AFTER BOTH verses have been posted. EDITING your post after both rhymes have been posted will result in an immediate DQ. Dont matter if your editing spelling or a fucking PERIOD. Its a DQ. No Questions Asked.

-Late verses will result in an AUTOMATIC disqualification, don't
even care if it's 5 minutes late. Even if s mod late with closing
the no shows, the deadline will still be enforced.

--Closed battles are finalized. Unless the mod made a mistake in
closing your thread, any problem regarding the battle AFTER it
has been closed..you will have to deal with it. But../If the mod
just messed up something, then it's cool for it to be changed.
IF YOU BREAK A RULE, IT'S YOUR FAULT AND YOURS ALONE!!

-If you BITCH or it is DEEMED you are SWAYING VOTES. You will be deducted -10 Votes. End Of Story.

- In a 3-WAY Battle. If Both Your Opponents Show And You Beat Them Then You Get 2 WINS. If ONE opponent shows and you win then you get 1 WIN only!!.

- In a VERY rare occasion that there is a 4-WAY Battle. The Same Rules Apply. 3 Opponents Show and You Beat Em'. Thats 3 WINS. 2 Show and You Beat Them. Thats 2 Wins. 1 Shows You Get 1 WIN

- No Biting Rhymes EVER. If its found out that you bit aka plagarized someone elses work. Then you are Terminated From the RBL for good or until a mod sees fit to let you return.


EXTENSIONS: You must hit up a MOD or Sequel on AIM prior to the deadline and give us a good reason as to why you will need a ONE DAY extension. -3 Votes will be deducted from your battle if you do in fact need an extension.

***If your opponent has been granted an extension, you too can use this extended period of time***

All extensions will be 24 hours AT MOST.

-NO 1 Sentence Voting
ALL VOTES MUST BE ATLEAST 5 LINES LONG.
Explaining Who You Thought Won Or It WONT COUNT.
My Motto Is If You Cant Vote Right Why Should You Deserve Someone Voting On Your Battle
And IF the person who voted DIDNT explain his vote like he's suppose to then he'll LOSE A VOTE on his battle.
Yes. Quoting A Battler Counts As A Line But You MUST Quote Atleast Something From Each Battler. And THERE MUST Be A Explanation Behind Them.
Breakdowns By Couplets Are Still Allowed.


These Are The Rules And Regulations.
THE RBL NO BULLSHIT NO REMORSE NO TOLERANCE POLICY IS NOW IN EFFECT. That Means No EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES TO ANYONE.

MOD AIM CONTACTS:
-DisHonouR - DH La Dynasty
-Inkwell - a guy with a pen
-SeQueL - AxeSense

it's kinda odd how you're so adamant about your hand-me-downs*



*You may need a explanation for the first two, hopefully you have enough sense not to.
If you dont get the third one, you're a fuckin fool.
The last one is for the top 2% of the class. Think hard. Look around the thread if you have to. It's not that hard to figure out.

not a good closer but nice punch

overall a one sided battle. i seen SB come ••••• but he really didnt havta in this one.

v/ SB

[namix]

um.. i honestly think in awe got this.. i dont think it was one-sided, but i certainly dont think it was one sided in his direction either lol.. wtf @ that kid feeling almost every single one of his bars and like none of awes'..


some more wack comp, and this ones hella corny
ta have a chance beating me, you better bringa storm...G
-aiight aiight, i was feeling this here, it was a decent nameflip, i wouldnt be surprised if he's hand something relative to it, but nonetheless, it was a nice opener

your gay and not elevating, here let me make it clearer
you took a turn for the worse and crashed into a mirror
--hah, that was one of the funnier turn for the worse lines i've seen in a minute.. still pretty over-used 'ish but it was coo..

but let me compliment you cuz I know what your about
I do think you type nice, thats why his vote wont count
-haha, dope... By changing "you" to "ya" it might have sounded better phonetically because it would make sense in both aspects of the phrase, but this was the best line of the battle. undermined him by calling him some kid that people hate on it seems like, and did so in a nice implicit way, cool shit

my punches son you, cuz id say storms trash at best
so ill hit you with right after right, till you give rap arrest
--aiight, this was decent, arrest has obviously been used before, but it was an aiight flip with right after right..

im known ta murder bitches and really your nuthin
ill have your body floating down the river like Huck Finn
--nope

ya girl wants me ta come bone weather or not you condone
cuz while you boar her like pumbaa, ill get the bitch Timon
-haha, i dont care how corny that is, it definately made me laugh. I think by elaborating on ta-moan in the setup you could have driven the point home a little better, maybe even talk about lion around with his bitch heh.. iunno, good shit tho

some cats thought you'd win, well I say fuck them sluts
but ill give you the upper hand, plus a couple upper-cuts
-wack lol.. i didnt like this closer, but overall you had a pretty good verse, relatively consistent, and a couple fresh punches that i dug
-naww, too simple, and just blah..

u cant see me, take a L, since nowadays it's medicine
u should apply ya skill, maybe then you'll get Awe, In*
--hah, um, this was a ok thought, but i really wasnt feeling the wording with it man.. I dont know, it seemed like you just tried to fit too much in the bar conceptually.. "u cant see me", take the L.. they didnt really apply to the punch too much, unless i am completely missing something.. but if im missing something, thats your fault not mine

this kids' pitiful at best, he's like an RM hobo
everything about him stinks and he was booted from the dojo
--yea, i get it, but so? this really didnt seem like a punch.. i mean, stinks wordplay, and got booted out of the dojo.. ok i get the dojo on RM, but since when do hobo's get booted out of dojo's? are these karate hobo's your talking about? maybe your just saying he got kicked out of where he lived, i mean, the thought was there dogg, im not over looking your shit, its just i think you could have had better wording to make it more effective, because it seemed like your comparison lead into a real life dojo.. this was ok at best hommie

tried to rearrange his approach cuz skill will trouble you
but still battles like his name . . . 'e ain' get a W
--wow bro, i seriously hope you arent one of the kids that call my wordplay stretched lol.. this was the most stretched and forced nameplay i have seen in a long minute.. i thought they only did this shit on bboys, i never see it at RM.. I HATE nameflips like this.. flipping a name backwords is my absolute threshold for this kind of wordplay, and its gotta be dope as fucking hell for me to like it.. i mean, it was unique at least.. its just 'he' and 'aint' just sounded and looked so forced to me.. and like i said, personal preference, i cant stand these types of flips..

u only bring one instance of humor like Ben Savage*
do the math, even ya meanest shit is average
--ok.. but i have seen Mean/average punches alot.. stacking punches sometimes makes ur second punch less effective, maybe you should have had your first punch and had a setup going referencing it to make it stronger, or vice versa..

it seems losin to me means ya future's seeming bleak
so you should steal kids' baby bottles, & start a weaning streak
--lol, it made me laugh, but man, this is sorta forced to, just being real.. and when i call something forced you know it must be lol.. first off, the word "weaning' is generally used in regaurds to "taking away", or to wean off.. but yea, while i know that it can be used in regaurds to breast feeding, most kids wont.. eitherway, it is always used as a verb.. While it sounds like im being hard on you man, the reason is is because the winning/weaning is enough of a stretch as it is, so if you made a reaaaaaal ill comparison to it than i might have still thought it was cool.. but a "weaning streak" didnt sound conceptually smooth to me man.. it just sounded weird, well for one because it should be used in the form of a verb, but two you should have maybe tied in streak into the baby bottle thing.. like go on a spree of stealing bottles, or something of the like, so streak would be more relevent.. i hope im explaining myself doggy, because trust me im not hating at all, i just want you to see where i'm comming from.

I and everyone else here are amazed how you're meek
so tell me, what's it like to battle yourself every week?*
--this was coo.. pretty simple, i dont really see the need for an explaination, because i feel you - i hate having to explain shit too.. Anyway, this was a nicely conceived punch.. your setup was a nice reference to in awe, so obviously his opponent would be in awe every week.. it was a nice nameflip since you made it implicit, cool shit man

shit, calm down! Stop bein so grabby, clown
it's kinda odd how you're so adamant about your hand-me-downs*
--ok man, i think i see what you're getting at, but outta luv i looked around this fucking thread for some reference to something more relevent to it and couldnt find shit, outside of you posting under him or something.. grabby? did he change a post or a sig or av or something? or was it just reference to u posting below him? I dont know man, i guess im not in the top two percent of your class lol.. i felt the concept was good but the delivery coulda stood some editting, this one i blame on myself for not getting tho- so if its something ridiculously easy and im just being stupid, then sorry lol..



vote- in awe


why? I honestly think this battle was close as hell, and for different reason. Storm had more creative concepts, and its not that his wording was like novice or something, he just got overly complex with his delivery of his shit, and could have spelled out his punches better.. not even so kids understand, it wasnt physics, but just to make it to-the-point effective.. trust me i get into this alot lol.. but it was still a good read.. I just think that awe came more consistent because he was less forced..

best line of the battle - In awe's J. nyce line
second best - Storm's 'in awe' reference

good reads

[namix]

ps- the reason i elaborated on Storm's shit more was because I had told you guys in the begining who i was voting for, so outta respect for the kid i spelled out my thoughts so HE would understand why i voted against him.. especially after voting against him with the voter infront of me being such a fan of the verse - i already felt like i was going against the grain lol.. but like i said, good battle.

[Storm Bringa]

No problem dog. It's all about personal taste.

1-1

[Klear]

i've gotta go with in awe on this one

cuz while you boar her like pumbaa, ill get the bitch Timon
that shit cracked me up

but i'm goin with awe because i thought he worded his punches better
both emcees showed a lot of creativity, but it seemed to me like storm was tryin to hard
of course, this is only my interpretation... both flows were on point
this battle is prolly gunna come down to the wire, but awe took it with his wit and wordplay, and i thought that winning streak line by storm was jus a tiny bit forced

pz

[Venamis]

Vote - In Awe

Man that Timon and pumbaa line with the type nice line kilt it this round. This was a cool battle because Storm came pretty nice also, keep it clean.

pz.

[vectoreman]

5starre is an idiot.

vote = in awe. lol @ the first 10 lines maybe? the closer was weak but all out pretty nice. storm was boring. the ben savage lines was stupid, the name plays were even worse because they were shitty name plays.. the awe, in was REAAAAAAAAAAAALLY stretched.

[PencILL]

vote= in awe....he clearly had the better verse here....storm ur word play was shitty at best...like the weaning line..terrible.....in awe had the timon line, that gave me a chuckle....awe just had better punches and a more consistant verse

[cheemagun]

in awe
storm g line was koo
nice line was a koo concept..
I liked the mirror line
and didn’t like the huck finn line

storm bringa
lines was kinda forced and didnt find any i liked .. if it was good the explainations wouldnt be needed

in awe gets my vote

[Hating Mantis]

over no shows

[Ol' Shady]

phew, this battle was a stretch..
i'm sure both cats coulda came better..

i hope

[Rhymeageddon]

not a bad battle.

haha att the timon line bahaha that had me rolling rotflmmfao....

the mirrors was also cool.. but omg^ at that lol

SB was nice... expected more from him... but he has mad potential and he's bringing what he thinks he needs, unfortunately this week, he never brought enough.

props tho fellers.

vote in awe

[ill nik-A]

this was ok...
In Awe started out good, mirror line was ok on a played concept, Huck Finn was yuck, type nice was ok & Timon line was koo too, Storm started out good but just got weaker as he went, u had some forced material, usually if u gotta explain its no good, still a close one here

vote-In Awe
