lines long (I'd love to say you can go longer, but there's still eighteen of you and scoring would<br />
get long). Ryan and I kicked around the idea of breaking the scoring down into various<br />
subdivisions, like rhymes, boasts, and such, but I think I'll keep it abstract and we'll give each one<br />
a score of 1-5 based on rhyme scheme, cleverness, humor, how cool the boasts are, that<br />
kind of thing. By the way, we decided all of the challenges before we ever started the game, so<br />
the various rap-based challenge submissions and votes were pretty funny to us.<br />
Since none of the teams have the same number of players anymore, winning will be decided by<br />
which team has the higher average score per person.<br />
Non-submissions will get negative two again. And you saw what that'll get you in the end.<br />
Now, here's where it gets weird with the plagiarism: I recognize that this is a rap competition, so<br />
there can be a little "sampling" done if it's clever and it'll fit your situation, if you want to. So the<br />
only non-plagiarism rule is...just don't rip off more than a third of the thing, a'ight? I'll leave that<br />
vague as well. And just to get out of the way, once again, if the whole thing or most of it is<br />
plagiarized, negative five. I don't like to mention this, but the players in the first two games<br />
forced my hand!<br />
Anyway, each of you eighteen superstars have until Tuesday night at 10 central again to get<br />
them done, after which we'll do the usual post the next morning.<br />
This week's dogfights...<br />
Quilted Northerns vs. Brown Street Elite (Governor Ryan Fossum)<br />
Best Westerns vs. Enigmatic Southern Gentlemen (Archduke Kelly Wells)<br />
So kick it with some crazy rhymes, yo. Chizzeers.<br />

Challenge Four Results<br />
Oh, let's get this out of the way first:<br />
Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics<br />
Alright, now you can't come crying about how dirty some of these are. Cool? Okay.<br />
And by the way, what with this being one of the most uneventful weekends of my life, it gave me<br />
lots of time and inspiration to come up with my own rap. But now I'm going to record the thing<br />
when I can, so I'll hit you with it then. How's that sound? Awesome. Fresh, even.<br />
Anyway, we begin as usual with Ryan's fun.<br />
