Anarchist - Pretty decent. Expo was on point, you covered all the elements as far as detailing what they did wrong and what they should work on as well as how they should work on it. Only thing is, you need to condense all that. I know you generally don't vote like that, just keep it short and sweet to encourage the battlers to actually read and take it in. Trust me I'm all about long expos cuz they fully promote elevation but for your sake I'd keep it shorter so your not crying on deaf ears. As far as the rating, 4-4 seems pretty fair to me, I usually only go below 4 if it was really bad (which it was moderately bad but I've seen worse) and it really just keeps people
From bitching so it was straight.

Doomsday - You generally give moderately long expos but even this was evidently longer than your usual. You still did your thing, giving a vivid breakdown of errors and weaknesses and then trying to steer them in the right direction, but just like I told Anarchist, you need to make the expo more compact for the reasons already mentioned. As far as the rating you also gave 4-4 but in favor of W.H which in all honesty wasn't a problem, I felt both had the same kin if ups and downs to counterbalance each other so in the end it all really came down to what your preference in battling was, I know Just C prolly thinks I'm wrong but w.e I think the main point was they were both pretty evenly matched and at a low level so Im not counting that against you.

X-Calibur - i've always loved your very close and personal approach as well as your bar by bar breakdown, and I can always count on you to give a decently sized expo but in this case your expo was at least 3-4 times your normal size. Again, keep it compact. Two you did rate both of them a bit too high, I was lookin in the 3-4 range for both but you went 5-6 W.H favor. I've observed that in other battles you've judged and as a FVC member you really need to be harsh and not be afraid to tell people what your need to work on in a harsh manner be prepared for the bitchin.

EtH- Expo was on point for the most part, that same 4-4 vote I was lookin for. Your length was key here, and I see the consistency of how you usually vote because you always do the broken uo thing, although I know yours wasnt as log as te others it was the ideal length or close to, however I felt you should've been a bit more explicit as far as what they could've done better or rather how they could've done better.
Overall, I wasn't looking for the rates as they were all pretty similar and I think this battle was somewhat evenly matched as I stated earlier, I used to do long add expos but know I not do them if it's someone I know will listen like a friend or a person of higher tier set for elevation. Otherwise long expos are unnecessary, of course "long" is subjective but I think 3/4 expos here were overkill. Give a brief summary that is more concise but still retains effectiveness, and then at the end say "Pm for further expos, tips, and advices" and then if the person is truly dedicated to elevating they'll do just that if they don't think your initial expo was sufficient.
My ratings:
1) Eth- good ratin quick and to the point but needs to be a bit more explicit.
2) Anarchist- Shortest (part from Eth's with detailed expo)
3) Doomsday- Good voter all round just need to condense
4) X-cal- No idea how bad I feel puttin you here's am, you're the most consistent and thorough voter I know with bar by bar breakdowns and rating system, you just really need to work on making sure you can make it a bit mor concise (which it usually is) and not sugar coating the rates.
You all are good voters from personal experience with you guys and Ithink you should all get in but this is my vote...
