xzc declined to judge this overly sensitive spectacle, so we’re at four judges. Is that enough?
I think that the judgement of this debate will be somewhat subjective. The structure of the poems should be a consideration, as should the poem-ness and the argument-ness of the posts. Other than that, vote for what you like, and explain it as well as you can. Nothing more formal I can offer, I’m afraid.
Oh gosh…
might need to find a fifth in the case of tie breakers. There’s bound to be ties on at least one of the rounds (unless one of you offers up some crushingly overwhelmingly kick-ass lyricism).
Let’s leave the tie to popular vote. If it’s subjective anyway, popular taste is a good decider. If someone kicks ass, then the judges will indicate that. If it’s close, the majority will break the tie.
I agree to those terms.
Sorry I wasn’t here yesterday, kid was in the hospital but he’s (mostly) better now.
