Endeavour's verse, my not liking it is why you say my votes weren't accepted....

He talked about adopting a kitten, that fulfilled his family..... Bringing the excitement and joy that was needed for them to feel whole, yet the cat ran away without any reason...... Left him feeling abandoned, saddened,  with no knowledge of why the cat left..... Then he adopted another to try and fill that empty space, but it done no justice.... It just wasn't the same, so the emptiness was still present.....

^^That's what I got out of it..... now am I on the right track or way off base???

OK I might help clear this up Cubes
But it will make me late on that Royale fix up I signed up for
Ain't wrote a single line yet btw


My story
Well that is a guy all about saying what needs saying for the betterment of this Rap battle forum I love
is keeping it real on a certain level

Your story
is very similar, only more fictional based..
Hope these was the stories you meant and it's been helpful

Either way, I went back and added WAY more description to my votes..... So now they both are fully clear.... I gave my honest feedback..... Gave what I liked and disliked in all verses..... Also provided tips that I feel would have improved the verses from everyone.....

I cannot do no more then what I have done..... My opinion may be different from yours, but it's my honest vote with honest tips and feedback, so I feel there's no reason the new votes shouldn't count....... Both provide everything needed in a proper vote...... So I see what you ment by the first votes, they were lacking description and I appologize for that, but the new ones have plenty....... So there is no reason for them not to be accepted...... thank you.....


BTW good battles from you all....... Great week for the topical twist...... I cannot wait for next week to begin, should be just as good if not better...... Especially considering there are new entries from good competitors...... Let's have another great week fellas....... good work......   Also thanks to everyone who participating in voting...... It helped this week flow smoothly and hopefully next week will go just as good......

My story. Cuba spends hours of his personal time setting up Battle Royale and Topical Twist and running the shows. Spume decides to piss and moan about mod decisions rather than showing up on time to Battle Royale. Which he only had to write 8 lines for. Great work, champ. But Spume thinks he's the one doing shit for the betterment of the site?.

Oh wait, those are just facts. My bad.

I literally cannot be bothered to spend any more time & energy dealing with this. Read what I said and reflect on it.

We don't generally accept a vote once it's been discounted. Please note that in my disallowing of your vote I never once said "you did not explain ENOUGH" therefore the solution is not to go and explain more.

So my vote wasn't excepted not because of lack of explanation, but simply because I don't feel the same about the verses as you do?
