Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - PENDING)
I have finished all of the assets for the first recap and am currently rendering the complete segment, then I will record the audio, convert, and upload.
So, in the interest of time management, let's go ahead and prep you for what's to come.

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - PENDING)
https://i.ibb.co/TPtHRXx/attributes.png
What you're looking at here is, in short, the 8 distinct attributes that will serve as a point system to connect the TLC and LLL S24. You have:
Personals
Wordplays
Nameflips
Freshness
Comedy
Criticals
Directness
Creativity
Each attribute is worth 1 point. You can score a total of 8 points per bar. That is, if you can emphasize any of these attributes and make them go dark (this action will be further demonstrated in the first battle.)
The amount of points you come out of each battle with has many variables. Here are 3 possibilities, at the extreme, if you're able to make all 8 attributes go dark (+1) per bar.
10-line Battle: 40 pts
12-line Battle: 48 pts
16-line Battle: 64 pts
However, those point totals aren't a given, so raising the line total to 18, 20, or even 30 won't guarantee you a large gain. It all goes back to those 8 attributes, your ability as a writer will either make them go dark or have no impact whatsoever. How many of them, and in how many different combinations you use them, per bar, is what's important. This doesn't mean that simply using any one of those attributes and lazily putting them together will get you points, either. There is a quality factor in play.
My absence from the league, in part, is to specifically judge the quality of each bar. From setup to closer, eyeing the presence or absence of those 8 attributes. The points are cumulative, so there were be a leaderboard. Every score, for every bar in every battle, will be recorded starting now with Week 1.
Which brings me to the TLC. Yes, it's just a regular cypher, but it will be a reoccurring event all season long.
Low Level - 2 Bar Limit, Unlocks Next Level Access
Medium Level - 4 Bar Limit, Unlocks Next Level Access
High Level - 6 Bar Limit, Championship and Accomplishment
Let's think about this with our newfound knowledge of the point system. It would be possible for you to score 16 points at Low Level, 32 points at Medium Level, and 48 points at High Level. What was just a regular cypher that you could champ and get an accomp for, became a fucking lootsplosion that reoccurs all season long.
The "Unlocks Next Level Access" bit means that you can't just randomly jump into a Medium or High Level Cypher. You have to be present for all the cyphers. Low, Medium, High. Again, this is another reason why I'm not actively battling, I will be judging the 3 cyphers myself. My working idea for that is bottom eliminations. I will discuss more about the TLC in Ep. 2 of the vodcast.
Okay, so, what purpose does this point system serve and what can it do for you. There are 3 Threat Levels, Regular (Low), Contender (Medium), Championship (High). You get THOSE designations from the TLC, and they apply to your profile card. But there is also a 4th and final level that I haven't mentioned yet. And how it works is very similar to being verified on Twitter, it's an accomplishment and designation that doesn't change with each passing season of LLL (like the other 3, they will be reset each season). It is the Lethal threat level.
Ending the season with the highest point total means that you are the embodiment of what the Lethal Lyricist League is all about. An all-around, superbly talented writer, text battler, and of course, lethal lyricist.
Now, the working idea for this is, the first and second place finishers will battle for the honors.
Or, if you guys are somehow miraculously interested in all of this, the top 4 finishers will be involved in a mini-tournament. This will all be concluded by the end of LLL S24, within LLL S24. Let me know what you think.
I also wanted to say that if you have a verse ready for your battle, and your opponent no-shows, don't lose the opportunity for yourself to earn points. Just send it to me and I will include it in the weekly recaps.
Starting now you will want to take advantage of every opportunity that the mods give you, special events, roasts, showcases, and so on (within the league.). I will be keeping statistics and updating the leaderboard myself.
Rendering of the first battle recap is at 1 HR 21 MINS so I should have it up by 10:00pm EST.

If you haven't subscribed to the YT, go ahead and do so. Ryno vs. Malediction premieres in just under an hour for anybody subscribed to the channel. Then I will post it here.

I noticed a thing or two that needed to be adjusted. Thankfully it's Week 1 and I'm able to identify them before we get too far. I'm working on Phalanx vs. Echelon now so I'll make the necessary fixes.

DAMN... 5 minutes of content on that battle?
So you're saying even if my dude no shows, its going to be a 30 minute show...

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Ryno vs. Malediction AVAILABLE NOW)
How many lines did you drop? You're looking at 30-seconds per bar.

16.
But the setups are better than maledictions entire verse.
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Ryno vs. Malediction AVAILABLE NOW)
I think that's 8 minutes. That works. No problem. Orc vs. The Real Spit that will be on the vodcast's Choice Recaps is 30 lines a piece. I'm looking forward to that. The back and forth really gets me involved and it feels like a play-by-play.

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Ryno vs. Malediction AVAILABLE NOW)
Phalanx vs. Echelon will be premiering soon.

Thanks, Mal. Appreciate it.

Just listened.
You have the fucking patience of a saint to break down some of the stuff I had to read.

Lmao. I have to read every verse multiple times regardless how I feel about them because of the process I go through in putting together each segment. But every time I read 'SEX MOLESTATION' and 'PLEASURE IS LAND' I was just fucking gone. It's a lot like indoctrination, or Stockholm Syndrome. It becomes a part of you.

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
Way gone @ that phalanx echelon breakdown

I remember running a league many moons ago where we would take the worst of the week and make it a challenge to take the concepts and make a readable verse out of it.
I'm not sure even I could do that with some of the stuff this week.

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
That’s actually a cool idea, trying to elevate the shittiest verse. Issue is there weren’t even concepts in most of Mal and Echelon’s verses

We'd get pretty liberal with it
Like...
Ready for war..settle the score..FOOL'S SHIEK..
I'm putting 'GOLD IN A BOX' like Jewlrey..
Would become something like:
This bitch though? Not the kid to get bit or flipped, yo
If his shit is the gold standard, then the world is switchin to crypto
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
I’m dropping all ‘gold in a box’ lines next week
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
Lmao.
I don't think they are really all that interested in battling, they've both been here for a considerable amount of time. They're familiar with, at the very least, what should be expected from a text battlers perspective.
I think they're just topical writers, or just writers who enjoy rap music, and Zunto reached out to them with a mention, which they misconstrued as a gesture of a good, kindhearted friend, asking for their help to save the universe. So, against all better judgment, they signed up.

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
Justice Grimm and Cody Nash are the next uploads, I'm organizing their vids right now and I will try to get them up by later tonight.
Then I believe there are 3 battles left to do along with the Penthusiast vodcast.
I intend on debuting the leaderboard during the vodcast.
@Zunto
can you refrain from starting week 2 until I have everything up?

Think it’ll be done by Sunday night or Monday morning?
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
I can make Sunday night happen. Monday morning would be even better. Anytime in between that, because, you know, precise timing isn't exactly one of my strong suits. LOL.
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
Lol well I’ll give you until Monday afternoon to do whatever it is you need to do bro but battles can’t be super delayed for this

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)

@Wuxia
That breakdown was fire. Echelon for VOTW, tbh.
-
Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
Interesting to see some of the tastes in the league. Probably good it isn't all a singular way of thinking.
Poor Wuxia is going to need 30 minutes for my no show verse since it seems everyone liked something different.
lmao

Re: Penthusiast LLL S24 Ep. 2 Preview (Weekly Recaps - Phalanx vs. Echelon AVAILABLE NOW)
I will be uploading Justice Grimm's and Cody Nash's videos shortly. Keep an eye on the YT for the premiere.
