Example: Hey SpaceTime! I thought you were flame-retardent, not flame-retarded!

[The previous example was exactly that. Just an example. It does not reflect the views of the poster, judges, or anyone else. Please, don't sue us. We're a non-profit flaming tournament!]

At Ringside of ToFGaL Round IV: ST v RMS

RC317:"And the fight is underway. ReCosell317 here at ringside. Providing color commentary is my good friend and colleague DieselDonKing."

DDK: "Only on the BBoard, ReCosell, only on the Bboard!"

RC317: "Thank you, Donny. And RMScream leads off with a devastating right hook straight to the face of Space."

DDK: "Oh that was one succulent sucker punch. I haven't seen a fighter leave himself that open since Mike Tyson at a beauty pageant."

RC317: "And RyRy is just hammering away at ST. The kid is all fired up. He now has the cagey veteran backed into the corner. Jab, Jab."

DDK: "He is all over him like George Foreman on a bag of Doritos or SouthernSlider on Charlie O'Connell.

RC317: "Space is working his way out now and OH! What a low blow by RMS! I don't think the ref saw it."

DDK: "That blow was nearly as low as Brand_S's treatment of Season 4."

RC317: "The champ is reeling! What a fight! Don..where are you going?"

DDK: "To get that boy signed to the DDK agency. I know a moneymaker when I see one."

RC317: "We'll be back with Round 2. After 1, RMScream leads."

Obviously I'm biased since I want another CRACK at Spacey. But fighting RMScream would be like fighting SpaceTime, so I guess it doesn't matter. In any case, my thoughts so far...

RM: I like the fact that he didn't wait for a reply before attacking again. A lot of flamers post, then sit back and wait until they hear from the other before posting again. This is reactionary and yields the initiative. So I like that he attacked more than once. His attacks were heavy on homoeroticism and I thought he was actually more amusing when he got away from that, but anyone who thought this wouldn't be a gay fight was delusional so I was braced for this and am not taking away points for it.

ST: Good counterattack. A little too much reliance of the "concede the attack and thus remove the affect of it" strategy though. "Yes, I wrote the song..." "I love my mole..." etc. Informant used this strategy against SpaceTime just a couple weeks ago and he said it was lame. It can be effective at a key moment if not used up to that point but when overused it is lame.

However, biased that I am, I still have to give the slight edge to SpaceTime so far. But I can now envision RMScream winning this fight. I didn't he had a prayer before it started, so he's moving in the right direction.
