The Open Mic Guide |
|
What This Thread Is What You Can Do Here Open Mic is more than a battle forum, and there's plenty more to do than compete head to head lyrically. Depending on what you feel like there are several things you can do: Battling: Battling can be broken down into 5 steps: 1: First you need an opponent to battle. To find one, go to the Terrordome thread stickied at the top of the forum and post a challenge, including any specific details you have in mind, or accept one already posted. The Terrordome has a detailed explanation of battling, which is worth reading, but put very simply, you need to agree on 4 things with your opponent before starting. As a guideline a normal battle is 3 rounds, 24 line limit, 72 hours reply time, and feeding allowed except in round 3. 2: Once the rules are settled, one of you should create a new thread for you to battle in. The first post should include the rules that you have agreed on, and the thread title should closely resemble the following format: Emcee 1 [0] Vs Emcee 2 [0] Put the name of one Emcee, followed by a 0 in brackets, then a "Vs" followed by the same with the second Emcee's name. The zeroes in brackets are for keeping track of how many rounds each Emcee has won and should be updated after each round accordingly. You're now ready to start battling. 3: Agree between you who will go 1st. That person then writes and posts their verse, then the 2nd Emcee writes and posts their verse, feeding of the 1st Emcee's if that's allowed. A verse consists of a number of lines usually put into rhyming pairs called bars, up to the agreed number of lines per round. Look at some of the past battles of the forum to get a better idea if you need to. Remember that when battling, the things you and your opponent say should not be taken to heart. It is a competition and the idea is to insult your opponent mercilessly, so don't take it any of it personally. However, while battles are almost no holds barred (or bars held), there are some things that are not allowed by Neoseeker's rules. Racial slurs are forbidden, as is outright swearing. If you want to use the F word or any other non-racial abuse in a spit, then imply it but do not directly type it, for example by putting f*** (you'll need to use Neoseeker tags to prevent that being bleeped out, though, but this is not an excuse to bypass the censors freely, so don't abuse it). 4: Once both verses are posted, the battle is ready to be judged. The person that made the thread should edit the thread title to indicate so, by doing the following: Emcee 1 [0] Vs Emcee 2 [0]* Adding a * to the end is our way of showing judges that a battle is ready for them to decide. Most members use about 3 *, and there is no hard rule, but don't get carried away. 5: Official Open Mic judges will post votes on the battle, scoring both verses, providing feedback and saying who they thought won the round. The 1st Emcee that gets 2 votes wins the round, at which point either the next round begins, or the battle is finished when one Emcee wins the number of rounds agreed upon. In 3 round matches, normally the Emcee that went 1st round 1 posts 2nd the next round. Writing: If you're not interested in battling but would rather just write lyrics, be they free-styles, raps, songs, or collaborations with other Emcees, then feel free to post them in the Typestyle's Anonymous Nightclub thread (currently in its 4rth instalment). Don't be discouraged if you don't get any feedback or comments, as people are sometimes simply too busy to read through all the raps posted around the forum. Just use it as a place to display your work, write without expectations and express yourself as a person. Alternatively, if you want to create a more personal collection, you may make a thread for your raps with a name of your choice, in a similar fashion to a real life album. In this thread you can post anything that you've created, including work you did with other Emcees, perhaps to showcase a certain style of yours, or maybe with links to recorded audio material you've done, it's up to you. Other Activities: There are plenty of other fun things you can do, some of which take less than a minute. That's the basics covered, you'll discover the rest as you hang around and interact with other members. Remember that any experience is what you make of it, so whether you only write the occasional rap in the Typestyles thread and post in Rhyme With Us once in awhile, or battle often and spend lots of time here, be sociable, follow the rules, and most importantly of all have fun. That's what this forum is for. This message was edited by Fyrestorm(moderator) on Apr 12 2008. ------------------- --[ Neoseeker's Rules ]--[ Support Neoseeker ]--[ NeoPM Felony ]--

Open Mic :: Prelude to a Forum
A little over a year later, on March 26, 2003 the thread reached 31 pages, and was closed by KFC_Or_Bust, after TheGame hHh (now known as U_Turn) created a new thread, creatively named "Neo Emcee's Open Mic Night Pt2". The second thread in the series lasted 59 pages and held the first Tag Team Tournament, which gave Open Mic the first ever champions we've had; Dizzieko02, and awhollywood0838. May 07, 2003, saw King create the petition which would be the corner stone for Open Mic getting it's own forum. A week later, on May 14th, 2003, Neo Emcee's Open Mic (the forum) was conceived.

Open Mic :: The Illustrious Championship Gold The Neo Emcee Heavyweight Championship Title History view.history![]()
Did you know that this was the last title to be made, even though it was one of the original ones to be thought of? It also took the longest to make. We'd run out of title's to adjust, and this one was supposed to be special, and look different from the others, and doing that proved difficult. The Neo Emcee Lightweight / Middleweight Championship History view.history![]()
The "Did you know fact" for this title, being that the first tournament for the actual Middleweight title, was the April Madness Middleweight tournament, and therefore the first winner of the title was Felony. However the first official match for the title, was Kaotic vs. Phantasy_Lord. The Neo Emcee Featherweight Championship Title History view.history![]()
'Did you know' that the Tag Team title, and the Featherweight title are actually made from the same image? Just creatively edited, to change the color and shape of title, making them look quite different. The Neo Emcee Tag-Team Championship Title History view.history![]()
The Tag Title's fun fact, being that there was actually a second tournament held in November 2003, which saw our first tournament which allowed members from outside the forum, to judge the battles. However the tournament quickly broke down, and was postponed - never to be restarted.

Open Mic :: Thread History Cut to the Core
To this day, parts of dizzieko02's original first post in The Cut is being quoted in all the newly created Cuts, and has now become a widely known tradition. quote dizzieko02For the 50th anniversary, thread creator King added his own quote in place of Dizzie's as a sort of milestone for the forum. Dizzie's is still used in other Cuts since as is King's most of the time. quote KingWhen The Cut 53 closed, M_N_M48060 created Da Kut Fif Tee For, which was opposed by The Cut 54 (started by Adidas0167). In the end a friendly battle was held to decide the superior GD. The Illest Cut War Of 54 featured Furious Faction, Jecht 44 and Wile E Daigo on the side of The Cut and M_N_M48060, Fyrestorm and metafor on the side of Da Kut in a one round, 3 a side tag battle. Da Kut's team won and The Cut 54 was closed at page 29, Da Kut running until page 31. With over 70 editions of The Cut, we're still going strong, and though the users have changed, we're still having the same laughs, and great times that this forum is known for.
Something most fellas wont remember was back in the day when we had an Enjoyability category. And everything used to be out of 20, whereas now, things are out of 26. We haven't had too many changes in the voting system, beside the aforementioned, and the Advanced Format being instated into the forum. The Advanced Format was an addition to the forum which didn't last too long - due to how long it was taken to vote, and we soon went back to the Basic Format.

Open Mic :: The Original Rhymers
Later on, in May 2004, the thread was changed to three lines, and that is now what you see today. However, as a couple of you may remember, over the years we've had a couple of different topics, such as, movies.
It's a place to chill out, and as awhollywood0838 said: "Here at Typestyle's anonymous we only ask you to give us your mind, heart, and soul. Nothing else, just yourself..."
