Centaurs V.S. Piggies Challenge Results

The results are in!

Following a challenge from the Piggies GM to secure a higher seed, this game had to be judged. And ironically enough, the Centaurs still have a shot to make the playoffs if they win here, though it’s slim. Can the Centaurs win another challenge? We’ll have to find out.

Centaurs: Bond Of Brothers

Judge One: Op Z: 1.5/2 Grammar. Op Z does a great job with his spelling and grammar. I could only find minimal errors in the blog. 2.5/3 CIA. The blog is very creative, however the blog doesn’t call for too much analysis. I still feel like it could’ve had a bit more however, so I’ll have to dock points for that. 3.5/4 Writing Ability. The grammar and spelling help make this a very easy read. The creativity makes it great, and although the analysis could’ve been better, I still really enjoyed this blog. Formatting: 0.75/1 The formatting is simple but it works. However, I was very confused as to why some quotes were bold and why some weren’t. Total: 8.25

Judge Two: Op Z-Grammar: 1.5/2 the grammar was good throughout this blog but there were multiple comma mistakes such as a few commas that should be periods. CIA: 1.75/3. The creativity earned a full point. I liked the idea of the blog and the points you brought up, but i felt like there were parts skimmed over. Interest 0.5 and analysis 0.25. I liked that you talked about players coming in and they mentored the next, but aside from Roddy White you kind of just mentioned the next guys name and that he went to Bama. Writing: 2/4. There were a few places throughout this blog where i reread a sentence because of one poor word. “...then the situation was of very importance to you.” The word ‘very’ here could be swapped for something that helps it flow better, perhaps ‘high’ or ‘great’. There was also a few sentences beginning with ‘and’ or ‘but’ as well as the word ‘however’ used often enough to notice. Aside from these simple mistakes I really liked your sentence structures and flow between points. Formatting 1/1. Nice pics

Total: 6.25

Judge Three: Operation Z - 6.25

CIA - 2/3, It's a decent subject but it isn't exactly NEW. Having a blog tell the tale of a duo which benefited off of each other isn't new, the title does spark some interest into it, though. The analysis was incredibly mediocre. I craved for more at some points but alas, it seemed so miniscule. Writing 2/4 This feels incredibly... eh? I guess that's the term. The introduction to Roddy White was quite intriguing as Op Z never calls him by his full name until the end. Maybe that was the premise? Either way, it doesn't sit well with me. And with choppy and short paragraphs, it feels odd to me, almost as if it's a script of sorts (which it would do fantastic as!) Grammar 1.25/2, Extra hyphens, ending sentences when you can con them with a comma or simply excess or missing commas really bring this blog down, sad! Formatting 1/1 I feel like I've seen this before somewhere

Centaurs: 20.75, Piggies: 0

Piggies: Month Like Moths Collaboration Chapter 1: Caterpillar

Judge One: Kevin: What the hell did I just read? I kinda never want to judge again. Whatever. Anyways, Grammar 0.5/2. There were way too many grammatical errors, and some spelling errors as well. On top of that, Kevin missed a few commas here and there. 1.5/3 CIA. The creativity was there, I guess. It was pretty fun to read ironically though, so it was cool I guess. There wasn’t much analysis put in to this blog, so I can’t really take away from that. Writing ability. ¼. The interest wasn’t really there and again, there was no analysis put into this blog. It doesn’t help that this blog was plagued with grammatical mistakes. Formatting 1/1. Just take your free point and leave. Total: 4

Judge Two: Grammar: Kevin-1.5/2. The grammar in this blog was excellent. Very few errors but spelling and capitalization was noticed. CIA: 1.5/3. This blog was extremely creative. I felt it wasn’t as interesting as it could’ve been as seemed a bit choppy. I didn’t really want to read it all that much honestly. Writing: 2.5/4. The writing was excellent. There were a few sentences I felt could’ve been divided so they didn’t seem to run on. The writer seemed to jump around and skim over the story with very shortened scenes and come abruptly to the point but he did so very well i must say. This writing was put together nicely. Formatting 1/1.

Total: 6.5

Judge Three: Kevin - 7.75

CIA - 2/3 The creativity and interest level is still here for Kevin; however the lackluster start does bring it down. I guess that's what happens when you get the intro. Writing 3.5/4, Again not much can be said here for Kevin. His word usage is pristine and it flows together quite nicely. Grammar 1.25/2, There's not much to nitpick other than commas where they shouldn't be (in place of an exclamation point or question mark or are simply redundant) or commas missing entirely. Formatting 1/1, Congrats.

Centaurs: Perfect World

Judge One: AG: Grammar 1.5/2. Like Op Z’s, AG does really well in the grammar department. 1.5/3 CIA. The creativity wasn’t the best, but I still enjoyed the idea of the what if. It was an interesting read, and the analysis was good, though I would’ve liked a bit more in-depth with the other what ifs. ¾ Writing ability. The grammar, combined with the interesting topic choice and decent analysis, make the blog a very enjoyable read. Formatting 1/1. I honestly wish I could give more for the formatting. AG went bold, and I like it a lot. Total: 7

Judge Two: AG-Grammar: 1/2. There were many misplaced or just nonexistent commas in this blog. Otherwise everything looks great. CIA: 2.25/3. While many people often ask “what might the NFL look like?” I have yet to see it done in this fashion. Very creative. It kept me interested throughout, but I had to get past the beginning of the blog where it just read super confusing. The analysis was great aside from one aspect where you mentioned Brian Billick was the coach before the move. It was actually the Patriots legend, Bill Belichick. He coached until the team transferred and he believed the focus had left football so he also parted ways. Writing: 2.5/4. I saw 1 or 2 spots in this writing that i thought could’ve been different. “...less complicated, however, there is still a big mess...” I don’t believe the separation is needed. Just use the word ‘but’ and it flows better. Aside from this, the beginning of the blog was very confusing as i mentioned. It left me confused and uninterested until i got deeper into your work. The very beginning is important and I feel it dampened your grade just by the fact i immediately wanted to stop. Once I got past that first bit, it was great and I was deeply impressed. Excellent job. Formatting 1/1. If formatting could earn bonus points you’d have it.

Total: 6.75

Judge Three: AG - 3.75

CIA - 1.25/3 Semi creative. You literally almost ripped the hell off a reddit post lmfao so I'm not attributing much to you. Writing: 1.25/4 Might just be me, but I've never seen AG as a "good writer". At times, it seems like he tries too hard with his word usage. At others, too little. He needs to find balance to make harmony with his writing. Grammar: .75 HAHA .75 FUNNY, no but there's triple hyphens (unnecessary, just use one), comma misplacement, hyphens were commas should be and at that, he even overuses the hyphens, sometimes one is enough in a blog. Formatting .5/1, how the hell did you manage to mess up here? Like it's as simple as centering everything or not. Bamz

Piggies: Month Like Moths Collaboration Chapter 2: Cocoon

Judge One: Prime: ½ Grammar. I’m quite shocked that Prime had some bad grammar in this blog. There are some sentences that need commas, others that don’t need commas, and some sentences that are missing a word or two. ⅔ CIA. Thankfully, Prime’s part of the blog was much more interesting than Kevin’s. Again, the creativity exists, and no analysis was needed for this blog. Writing ability 1.5/4. The grammar is decent but it doesn’t add on to the blog. It doesn’t take away from it either, at least. It was definitely a weird read that was kinda interesting as well. Can’t really say much about the analysis though. Formatting 1/1. Formatting exists properly. Total: 5.5

Judge Two: Ok wtf am I reading? I like the whole collaboration thing but seriously yall have some issues with this stuff lol. Grammar: 0/2. There was so many grammatical mistakes i stopped keeping track. Mostly periods and commas but even spelling. CIA: 1.5/3. The idea is still extremely creative and slightly captures my interest but there was virtually nothing football related at this point. Like I honestly am only reading this because ive gotta judge it. I gotta say im interested to see what kinda bullshit you guys can come up with next but wow Gridiron rate this blog X-rated. Writing: 1/4. I was disappointed given the name at the top of this piece, but this work had run on sentences, and dialogue issues throughout. There were paragraphs with multiple characters speaking, please separate the dialogue between characters in their own sections. Other than this, the writing was certainly interesting. The word choice had good variety and there was some pretty creative sentences. Nice job on that part. Formatting 1/1. I don’t want to judge harshly but wow.

3.5

Judge Three: Prime: 8.25/10

CIA: 2.5/3, the premise of comparing a players journey throughout the years was intriguing and did pay off, at least to me especially since it was a story blog. Interesting idea to because I wanted to KNOW, "What was the reason behind month like moths? Why was that the title?" Analysis is fine, not over the top yet still good. Writing: 3/4, Prime returns with his usual writing and there really isn't much to see here, almost flawless. Could have better word choice but not much else. Grammar: 1.75/2, Not much to critique other than missing commas here and there. Formatting: 1/1, Congrats, it was there.

Centaurs: Hollywood’s Bleeding

Judge One: Umbreon: 1/2 Grammar. Umbreon’s spelling is on point. However, he uses way too many commas, misses hyphens, and uses the wrong versions of words(used places instead of placed). 2.5/3 CIA. The creativity of the blog was good. I loved the idea of using Post Malone’s lyrics as intros to his topics. This made a bland topic interesting. The analysis was also well done on his part as well. 1.5/4 Writing ability. The creativity and analysis really carry this blog as there are multiple grammar mistakes. Still a good blog, but it needs to be improved upon. Formatting 1/1. Simple but works. Total: 6

Judge Two: Umbreon-Grammar: 2/2. There was maybe 1 or 2 grammar mistakes I saw in this blog. Very excellent work. CIA: 1.75/3. The idea was slightly creative but nothing that made me jump into it after the title, 0.5. The analysis was good but mostly just summing up who left and how they did while on the Rams. I’d like to see more about what they’ve still got. 0.75. It was kind of interesting but never really glued my attention. Writing: 1.75/4. Your sentence structure and word choice was excellent but it also just felt short and slightly sudden. I’d like to award more points here but i felt like i was missing something that just wasn’t there. Otherwise I saw maybe 2-3 words or bunches that could just be removed altogether. Formatting 1/1. Great work, im excited for what comes next.

Total: 6.5

Judge Three: Umbreon - 4.75

CIA - 1.5/3, Listen, I'll be blunt with you. We've seen music blogs a dozen times. It's old now, overused and not wanted. You need the be really good to keep people intrigued now, and you're just not there yet. Again, story blog, not that interesting. The analysis though? Chef's kiss. It's great and while I did wish for more, the sample size was quite pretty. Writing: 1.5/4, poor word usage, blocky writing and bad flow drag this b the mud, sorry pal. Grammar: .75/2 HEHE .75 SO FUNNY HEE HEE HOO HA!!! No, but seriously, the grammar was bad. Starting sentences with conjunctions when you can simply con it with the one prior, missing commas, hyphens where the shouldn't and plenty more simply ravage this blog, sad! Formatting 1/1, wow no way incredible formatting score bro

Piggies: Month Like Moths Collaboration Chapter 3: Moth

Judge One: Relish: I’ll it. I fucking died when I read that last part with Jole. Grammar 0.5/2. I guess Relish has no clue how commas work. He often put commas in places they didn't need and places that needed commas didn't have them. There were also multiple instances of him adding unnecessary words or missing words. ⅓ CIA. As I've said in the past two posts, the creativity and analysis both exist, I guess. This part was pretty boring, and that was kind of a bummer since Prime’s was pretty interesting. 1/4 Writing ability. Relish’s poor grammar and the, at this point, uninteresting topic make this a very hard read. Please learn how to use commas, or just use fucking Grammarly. You still would've lost if you used it, but at least your blogs would’ve been more interesting. Formatting 1/1. Congrats, you got a free point to make your shit blog look a little bit better. Total: 3.5

Judge Two: Grammar: 0/2. There was an abundance of grammatical errors throughout this blog. The simple comma and period mistakes as well as missing end quotations. A tip, place your periods or commas BEFORE the quotations when ending a dialogue. Often times it was placed after. Also ‘Mega’ is a name even if abbreviated, so it must be capitalized. CIA: 1.5/3. Like your fellow Moth brethren, this blog was extremely creative but there was virtually no football analysis in this piece. Writing: 0.5/4. I’m sorry for the low grade, but sentences like “Going into halftime time they were...” and “The ball was snapped, and Kevin the handoff...” were common in this blog. Also improper ‘then/than’ usage. There were many errors that I just couldn’t discredit. Formatting: 1/1. My favorite part of this blog was “The End” but I gotta hand it to you guys for being this creative.

Total: 3

Judge Three: Rellible - 7

CIA 2.5/3, Rellible does wonderful here in keeping the reader entertained with multiple jokes and comedic phrases which keep the alive and seriously ramp up the plot as it was quite slow coming from Kevin and ends it wonderfully. Writing: 2/4, Better word usage would be appreciated to avoid repeated words but it still doesn't ruin the blog. Grammar: 1.5/2, Almost the same critcisms as Kevin but exclamation points and question marks are used less here, granting it a good advantage. Formatting: 1/1 Wow what a surprise

Centaurs: 55.50, Piggies: 49

And with that, the Piggies have lost their challenge. The Centaurs have pulled off another upset and victory to keep them in the playoff race. On the other hand, the Piggies are in danger of becoming the 4th seed, which will force them to go up against the dominant Hell Shells.
