DSL vs Misery©
Stips: Heavyweight Championship
Backstory:

Zarek Lyle wins. They were both good, but I thought Zarek's were a little more put together. Great story with the old school New Yawk accent.

First let me say that I was very happy with the amount of effort that was put in by both competitors. They made this decision very hard for me to make. I have read and re-read all of the roleplays for both of you and after much consideration I have finally come to a conclusion. DSL put up a tremendous effort but in the long run I am going to have to pick Zarek, I felt more emotion from his roleplays. He talked more about DSL, while DSL seemed to have focused on mostly action instead of dialogue. Zarek's roleplays just seemed a bit more put together in my opinion and his counters were well written. I can't wait for a rematch!!!

Very tough call because at first I thought this match was going to be a huge letdown and make for a piss poor main event ,but then suddenly the rps started rolling in and it got to be a very heated match that could go either way. I think in the end Misery managed to edge out DSL but I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch between these two.

Scott Addams vs Kit Black vs Gypsy©
w/ Special Guest Referee - NovaCaine

Stips: Triple Threat Franchise Championship Bout
Backstory:

This one was the show stealer. Don't get me wrong, the main event was awesome, so it had a lot to live up to. Gypsy was the obvious choice here in the beginning. She came out really strong with her first, and the others faded to the background. Scott had problems with his internet before, and Kit didn't seem to into it beforehand. Then something happened, and Gypsy slowly started fading. Maybe it was the whole drama that was going on behind scenes, but something took her a bit off. Her first was awesome, but the ones that followed couldn't match up to her first, and it made her look bad. Her ability to turn her oppnents words around has always been great, but I didn't find much variation or creativity. It wasn't until her last one that I became interested again, even though her last idea had already been done, most recently by Zarek - Gypsy's boyfriend - so I don't know what to say about that. Scott's were a little weak to begin with. I mean, I enjoyed the build up he had in his first couple, but it looked bad on his part for not giving anything to his opponents. It ended up stringing all together though, which was a nice touch, and I really enjoyed his last one. I think it shows more that you can get creative ideas out, write an interesting piece, rather than doing shoots the whole time. That being said, Kit took the cake in the creativity department. It was obvious she didnt' know what to do with her first roleplay, and she ended up just doing what the others did - dialogue. The ones that followed did the trick though. Her mirror idea got me extremly interested, and the Alice in Wonderland type of idea was just the icing on the cake. That being said, I believe Kit's posts were more interesting, and overall readable. Not only did she focus on creative ideas, but she also slipped in promos that rebutted her opponents. Kit was the underdog, and nobody thought she'd be interested, but I think she proved she is a solid roleplayer, and gets my vote.

I pick Gypsy, she put a little more heart into it in my opinion. yea, Scott Addams was an asshole the entire time and it looked like both Scotty and Kitty were trying to stop Gypsy from continuing by doing those rps with the dream sequence. However, it should be noted that Kit came into the game late. Kit is an awesome rper and this kind of match deserves a rematch, not a triple threat again, but a one on one between Gypsy and Scott who were originally supposed to be in this match. Gypsy, was great the entire time, I loved her rps and it made me continue to read more of her stuff.

Gypsy. I think the two strongest in this match were Kit and Gypsy. Gypsy came out right away killing Scott Addams. Nor did she leave out Kit, even though Kit hadn't RPed. Gypsy stayed on focus, countered both of their RPs and tried to work with what she was given. Scott did a lot of OFF CAMERA material that in essence can't be commented on and Gypsy worked around that. Kit came out late in the game and her RPs were pretty much focused on the same thing. And I think the whole thing with spamming was poor sportsmanship and including it in an RP just shows the desperation. Kit's RPs were well written. Gypsy's showed creativiting and the whole taking them to school I thought was a good angle. I do want to ask...who can counter a voice in a hall of mirrors? And didn't Roach just do a Alice in Wonderland RP? Lack of originality, Miss Black? I don't know, I can't and I doubt that Scott and Gypsy could as well. Kit and Scott's main focus was Gypsy and they neglected each other, whereas Gypsy focused on both of them. Both Kit and Scott did dream sequence RPs and though they may have built the storyline, again that isn't able to get countered. Gypsy ran with it and won, she had the heart and the determination.

Kit black. over all her writing style was near impeccable although the level of all these competitors was incredibly high. were we basing simply on writing mechanics alone then this would be a three way ties as the few mistakes made by all of them were minimal. that being said it comes down to felicity of style and story telling ability.

Scott adams decided that he wanted to go for the straight and obvious and simply start blasting from the mouth. now normally i would take pot shots at that kind of style but considering the two people he was going against i feel that his choice to contrast against them with a straight point and shoot style of attack worked very well. up until his final post which was to me very flat. the entire thing seem hastily thought up and more a way to put a little bit of a twist on a worn out idea. and while the writing itself was good the rp concept and depcition couldn't really manage to keep me interested in it.

Gypse on the otherhand managed to catch me and drag me in...to a point however despite the abundance of talent the young lady has and the obvious near nazi like attention to story creation and development it seemed to me as if all in all she was stop and go in her writing. almost as if half way through a speech she'd forget what direction she was heading and try to find her way as she wrote. this led to a very herky erky kind of story to me and made it almost as if the continuity had to be peiced together instead of simply flowing.

Kit black however started out not knowing a damn thing about who she was where she was going or what the hell she was supposed to be doing, which made it all the more impressive to the story itself when she found that one little way to flow it and hit the main level. Kit black wins in my opinion for creating the better story... however all in all i have to say. fanatasy or dream sequences are not real rp's until you manage to tye the whole sequence or at least the reaction the sequence invokes in your character into something seen by the camera. a dream sequence is more like the Intro to a song, it sets the mood and pushes peoples minds where they want them to be before the message and song actually hit's with it's full power

Im gonna go with Gypsy. Seeming as at least hers are a bit more interesting to me than the other two. Kits were a tad bit tedious and boring, a bunch of words doesn't make the roleplay, what's in the roleplay does. Plus im thinking hers could have been a bit rushed. Scotts were pretty good. But I don't like reading the same over and over again. So. Vote chalks up for Gypsy. She might want to work on her word structure just a tad bit though.

Jimmy Stryker vs Dante Cross©
Stips: BUDvision & THC Championship Bout

Jimmy Stryker versus Dante Cross: Easily, this one was up there as well. The top three matches on this card were crazy good, it's definitely the best set of matches that BUD has had in a long time. It's definitely a hard one to judge as well. Jimmy was going to have to pull out something different if he wanted to counter Dante's sarcasm and excellent way of shooting down his opponents. I think Stryker could have done better in his first roleplay, atleast something different than just walking out to the ring and talking. I think answering the fans questions were a nice touch, but it didn't impress me. Dante on the other hand held a different setting, instead of the boring, ring, included other people and as always, his dialogue was pretty superb. I did enjoy Stryker's second though, and I felt the whole 9/11 idea. Normally people can't really pull it off, and it comes off cheesy, but it actually turned out pretty well. Though while Jimmy took it up, so did Dante. His second was hiliarious, and I think what makes Dante so good is that he knows how to include humor and outside stuff, as well as getting down to match buisness. Dante's third, another hilarious roleplay, and Jimmy's, while straight forward, didn't live up to Dante's. Jimmy's came off more buisness, and didn't seem like he was having fun with the idea. It seemed like he was forcing it, and it came off. I think it just need to learn to balance out the serious dialogue, with extra stuff. While the dialogue is essential for the match, it's the extra things that catch the reader and make it entertaining. So Dante retains, but I'd definitely like to see a rematch.

Dante. He countered well, I felt that he cut his opponent down well with insults. If I could creatively criticize Jimmy, I would say that maybe he should look at writing his roleplays in third person view, rather than first person. Something about first person roleplays doesn't seem as good as if they are written in third person. Also maybe add some color so it will be easier to differentiate between actions for his character and when he is speaking.....But still a good match, both guys gave it a good try....

Nothing against Jimmy Stryker but his roleplays were boring the tears out of me. It seems he was trying to make his roleplays long. Worrying perhaps more about the length of the roleplay than the actual quality. Dantes were pretty interesting for the most part. Though he probably could use a little less outsiders and a little more of a promo. Either way.

James vs Talon Hartman vs Jeffrina Michelle Drakmen©
Stips: Extreme Icon Championship Bout
Backstory:

I'm not sure what happened to Talon in this match, but I was disappointed. I would have liked to see this one make it to the lengths that the Addams/Black/Gypsy triple threat went too, and I know it could have. I did see Talon's LOA, but meh, it comes down to James and JMD. Both did an excellent job, and it turned out to be a pretty good match, seems to be a theme for this pay-per-view lol. This one must be the hardest match to judge. Both had creativity, and both knew exactly where they wanted to go within their roleplay. They were quick with the rebuttles both times, but in the end, I think it comes down to who told the better story. JMD put on a great defense, and I know this match gave the Extreme Icon title the prestige it's been looking for. In the end though, I was more interested in the story that James told. It was such a close match though. Both competitors definitely are better than GWE. Give JMD a run at the Bytch and James a run at the Heavyweight or BUDvision. After this match, I think they've both proved it.

James, For the simple fact that... his may be a little bit classic type of match rp... but he did it quite tastefully and it delighted my eyeballs. Jeffrina's were good. But didn't quite give me that 'o0o0o' thrill I liked from James.

I think JMB started out really good and she looked like she might run away with this match but then whether it was time constraints or lack of interest she just kind of let James slip back in there and he took off with the match and I think kept with telling the story that he was wanting to tell and I did enjoy his reading his rps more and kind of felt that Jeffie wasn't giving it her best when you consider some of others she has done.

Cross vs Josh Drakmen
Stips: Non-Title Bout Backstory
Backstory:

There was part of me that wanted to see Josh Drakmen pull this one out, but with the way it progressed, I didn't see that happening. It's obvious that Josh has heart, but he was a little out of his league with this one. Cross knew what he was doing walked into this match, and it showed. That goes without saying, Josh has massive potential. He tends to rant a bit though, and ends up in a totally different direction with his dialogue than his actual match. Cross saw through that, exploited it, while holding his ground the entire time. Did we expect anything less?

I think Drakmen really stepped up his game and he proved that he is more then just a freaky little clown guy , but Cross just seemed to overwhelm him with stufff and Drakmen seemed to be looking for that one idea to stick and push him ahead of Cross...I thought at first this would be an easy match for Cross but Drakmen stepped it up and really put on his A game in a lot of his rps...I think Cross edged him out but it was nowhere near the kind of crushing defeat that I think some thought this would be...Cross got lucky to escape this one.

- Match 4 -

Phoenix Winterborn vs White Trash
Stips: Rematch
Backstory: White Trash wanted to get a rematch and this is Moment of Silence so you better believe that this rematch at a big ppv is going to set it off. Who will prevail? The leader of the DWO or one of the Mafia girls? As an added bonus: Ravyn Crow was announced as the special guest referee.

Phoenix Winterborn versus White Trash: Phoenix started out strong in my opinion, and I thought he would be able to give WT a run for her money. He started to fade to the background as soon as WT got going though. Maybe he had other plans, or maybe he got intimidated, but everyone knows WT is murder once she gets going. I'd like to see Phoenix stick around, because if he sets his mind to it, I think he can be a force, and a cornerstone in some good upcoming storylines. For now though, he takes a backseat to the youtube hero.

I am going to have to say that I pick White Trash. My reason for such is the simple fact that her roleplays actually kept me slightly more entertained.

I love the way White Trash writes. Its entertaining and actually gives me a little chuckle on the inside. She developes her paragraphs well, always seeming to have something different to add or say in each one. Phoenix's are good. Really well worded but it seems the fact that I can't tell if he wants to be heel or face. Not that that matters for a character but it tends to give a little tear in the way he's writting his matches. First he's being all nice then seconds later he's talking like he hates them all. It makes it confusing. Not only that... it seems to be that everything he's saying... while still good... is a little watered down and rehashed.

- Match 3 -

Backstory

I'm not sure what other judges are doing, but I'm going to go ahead and count the last one that Black did. I know, personally, that MSN was being a bitch and wouldn't let hardly anyone post. I had to push the refresh button about a hundred times to even view the damn page. I think Jenny has come along way, but I didn't like where she was going with her roleplays. The dream idea came off awkward, the second roleplay didn't have much to do with the match until the end paragraph, her third was weak, and her fourth was better. I applaud her for her creativity attempt though, trying to do something out of the box, she just needs to learn how to relate it better. Bre's first was a little iffy, while I see what she was trying to do. I liked how in her second she used Jenny's words against her, right from her rp. Her third was entertaining, with WT mocking Jenny, and the Miss American pageant idea. Her fourth seemed rushed though. I think Bre takes it, but only by a smidge. I think her third roleplay saved her. Be careful though Bre, next time you may not be so lucky.

I am going to go with Breanna, I don't feel that Jenny is ready for the Bytch Championship, I think that BreAnna did a hell of a job. Especially considering the Hurricane and the fact that msn is a bitch. When I read Jenny's rps, she says the same stuff over and over again and does the same stuff. It gets really boring after a while.

I can actually understand what's going on in BreAnna's roleplays where in Jenny's half the time I'm not quite understanding what's going on. Like in her second roleplay first she's drinking in a bar and drunk and then all of a sudden she's in a ring or something. In BreAnna's, they seem more written how... thought upon more. Jenny's however all seemed to be rushed... like "I'm going to throw out a bunch like they're all judged on how many I do."In Jenny's... they're just really... aggitating. It seems that everything she wants to say about her match are all thrown in as tiny little hinderences in her roleplays or all forced at the end of them leaving the rest of the RP for nonescense scenes. Breanna gets my vote.

Faith Rivers vs Akmed
Stips: Number 1 Contendorship for Extreme Icon Championship
Backstory:

Faith Rivers versus Akmed: I think with this one it came down to who wanted it more, and who was willing to give more. I liked Faith's first. She gave us scenary, something to imagine as we were reading. Her second set-up was less imaginable, but she still gave us the dialogue. With the third she just started her roleplay talking, but all she gave us was Faith standing in front of a camera. Akmed put more into his roleplays, he gave us more so he gets the nod from me. Not just with the scenic route, but dialogue as well. Both get applause for effort though.

Faith Rivers, because reading Akmed's roleplays make me want to chew on glass.

They're both good... talk a lot of crap and what not. Bringing on the heat. But I seem to find Faiths a little more interesting... a little bit more professional. Akmed's have a lot of repeating over and over... not with just the whole entire thing but more so within the same paragraph. Not only that... he uses tons of filler words which stretch the post more and take a lot longer to get to what he's saying

Divinity vs Ideas Monrew vs Salman Van Dam vs Erik McAsshole vs Claudia Zachera vs Roach
Stips: Taser Death Match
Backstory: A taser is being held up high in the air. The only way to win this match is by climbing the ladder, grabbing the taser and taking out all of your opponents. You can use whatever kind of weapon that is outside. Just as long as you pin one of your opponents with the taser. Go tase him bro, go tase him.

Battle Royal: It was hard to remember who was in the match, and how many roleplays they had posted, and so on and so forth. After reading everything though, I think it's safe to say Roach took it, even if her post count was lower than Ideas. Ideas tried, but Roach seemed to be shutting him down. She has style for miles, and that "it" factor that makes people want to continue reading her work. She's a wonderful addition to the BUD roster, and will definitely go far.

I would have to cast my vote for Roach, she out rp'ed the other folks.
