Even though the numbers became a tad better the closer to deadline this week, I have to ask this; Is this a trend we’ll keep on seeing? Just half the RP’s in? And I haven’t even written down the number of how many matches that have started to become one sided due to no shows and nothing is posted on a reason to why you have to no show. I know real life is what counts, but a post saying so during a week is not, in my world, too much to ask for. If I realize that time won’t be enough for me, I post and let people know about it; I do this so that they don’t spend much time in front of the comp and thinking out a killer RP to compete against me with, when more of that time can be spent doing things in real life. In a way it is showing your e-fed buddies some respect.

Also, posting short meaningless RPs; why? Nick D Manning, you said you were back and was going to give it a go this time. But your RP this week shows me different and it didn’t even meet the requirements to be counted. That thing belonged maybe in a character development thread and not the RP thread. And did real life get in between? Give people some notice about it!
It is true that Dave, Kameleon, did the same last week in the match against Tylanth. But at least Dave posted an explanation for it and even excusing himself for the post. So I won’t lash out at him.

It’s understandable, watching things like this, why Brad sometimes want to close things down. He gets no help with matches and sometimes the RP response to shows is reason enough to close things down. If we don’t show interest here, then why should he?
Now before anyone says something, if they even thought about it, I don’t do matches due to a simple fact…I suck at match writing! I’ve given it a go in the past and they were horrible.

Understand me that I DO know that real life comes first, I am usually one of the first to say so myself. But also understand me when I say that showing this place some interest is not just to RP every time you get a match; showing interest is also letting opponents and Brad know when real life will stop you from RPing, instead of just no showing. Some might PM Brad about not being able to RP, but what about your opponent, perhaps working their asses off to get that awesome RP together so they can win? Let them know as well, so they can cut back on the time working out an awesome RP and do other stuff as well, spend more time in real life.

So are we losing interest in WWG? Are the cards going to be smaller from now on and are we going to see the same matchups week after week? Because if that is the scenario we are moving towards, then I will have to rethink my being or not being part of the e-fed world.
But as of now I am going with WWG and giving it all I can!

[Montel]

I qiet enoy oing results each week, although i find it annoying sometime. Although what would make me more delighted would be the rp levels, when you get a good rp turnout you feel like giving them in return with some good shows.

This has happened in the past, we hit a ditch and then we bounce back. Hopefully we will do this again. Im still interesed so hopefully we can get things up again, if not we had a good run no doubt.

[Anderson]

Thing is I am just as interested. But my main thing is the lack of respect from some. Coming out from a writers block, writing good RPs that can compete up there can be a bitch for me and it takes me more time than it should or usually did. So if an opponent knows they will no show in the beginning of the week or half way through, they should post something about it. Thus I can relax and not force stuff out of me and also I can spend more time taking care of things in the daily life.

[Tylanth]

Well I am interested in roleplaying.  I like WWG.  I don't like the no shows.  I am completely losing interest in Matt Ward though.  I wish I hadn't brought him in, but waited and thought up a new character.  I now remember why I took a break from Matt when I did.  I'm going to try to keep rping as Ward, but if it fails, I will be turning Matt Ward into a manager, and bringing in a new guy to further the storyline I'm looking to start with a few people in WWG, Darknyss is obviously one of them.

As far as Legacy goes, I actually like the quick results.  Me personally, i hate rping, and then writing full length matches EVERY week.  Thats why I like having quick results.  In summary results, don't need commentary, don't need a bunch of promos.  Its just that, a summary.

For the PPV's however, full length blown out results are good.  Try and get promos from everybody on the card in there, and have the commentary and what not.

I say we send out a massive e-mail to all the members reminding them to come back and be a part of this and if they don't we should start voting like crazy on Jaydens and get everyone involved and active.

I see why everyone is mad, but i told MVP what i was doing...so Anderson cool down...and chill man

[Anderson]

Honestly Nick...I won't cool down because if you would have read my whole post you would have read this part:

Some might PM Brad about not being able to RP, but what about your opponent, perhaps working their asses off to get that awesome RP together so they can win? Let them know as well...

Show respect for opponents that is counting on you to RP, giving them a run for the money.Most of us puts down effort and time on writing up a RP, a good quality RP; but if you plan on no showing or dropping, what at least I see as a pointless post, let them know so they can spend time doing something else.

And Nick, this wasn't aimed at just you, this was aimed at those who no shows and gives no reason and lets opponents know about it; because in my world informing Brad isn't enough.

[TNA.VS.WWE greatness]

I'm truly sorry for not rping at the best of my ability, and people who no-show week in week out should be put on probation!

[Anderson]

If people posts a reason for no showing, they shouldn't be penalized; but no showing and just, as I see it, not giving a shit and not saying anything there I would agree with you.

[TNA.VS.WWE greatness]

^ Looks like MVP-Brizzle should redo the rules ehhh?

[Tylanth]

Brad does need to make some changes to the rules.  Rules need to be laid down and enforced for Champions who don't rp for their matches whether their title is on the line or not.

[TNA.VS.WWE greatness]

Yes ^ No warnings or anything..... or maybe one....but i think if your any kind of champion in WWG you should have to sign a contract stating if you do not rp when champion you automaticly lose your title..

[Anderson]

Once again, if you give notice in time, saying that you won't be able to RP for a certain event then you shouldn't be penalized. If you give a heads up then Brad could book another match, the week after.

[Brooke Sparker]

I try and get something up everyweek but lately i havent got good stuff out. I always intend to RP and try to work on it during the week but never know untill the last day if to not i cant get something up which would be too late to let your opponent know, in some cases.

I do think what your saying is true and we should let our opponents know. I support that statement.
