What changes?
Everything.

How many RPs do I have to post?
You don't have to post a single roleplay.

How much CAN I RP?
As much as you want. It won't change the results much.

Then how do I win matches?
You hype up the fed, your character, your opponent, your match via Twitter just like you see the WWE Superstars do if you pay attention to the product and their Twitters. You have a great OOC demeanor that uplifts the entire community and promotes a positive environment. You contribute to the show with segments that also hype up your character, your matches, storylines, etc. You can write matches for the show if you'd like. That'd be appreciated. In general, you help the fed out and be present.

What if I join and don't like it?
Your character will generally stick around long enough to wrap up any storylines you were involved and then your presence will simply disappear from the fed. No harm, no foul

Why should I post RPs at all?
If you like writing them and you have more than the 140 character limit of Twitter will allow to tell a story you feel your character needs to share, then we'd love to read it. It'll show that you're present in the fed and committed to your character.

So if I do all these things, I'll win every time?
No. It's an angle fed. The decisions are based on what tells the best story. Sometimes you'll lose even if you do all of these things. I doubt you'll ever lose to someone who doesn't do these things as they're clearly not committed to the fed or their character.

Then why am I doing these things????
The more committed players with the best attitudes will reap the most benefits. Bigger wins, title reigns, storyline peaks, potentially even face of the fed.

Who decides who is the most committed players and how the storyline runs?
Mostly me. But I'm willing to take input from people who want to run stories together and even listen to story ideas for individual characters.

You said everything changes. What else changes?
Everything. Probably back to a weekly schedule since there's no need to wait for RPs to go up and the results would be short (maybe even shorter than they are now) so putting the show together wouldn't take much work. Also, there might not always be a card.

No card??? How do I know what to talk about???
This isn't entirely a for sure thing yet, but there's a good chance it would run more WWF/WCW/ECW. There will probably be a match or two announced to "sell" the show, matches created on the show for an upcoming one, but there's also a chance you're just meant to hype up your character on Twitter, what your plans are for the upcoming show (make an impact, call out a champ, etc.), and then it will run like a modern television show where things seem to happen on the fly. Random matches just roll out, matches made in the heat of the moment, etc.

That sounds like chaos!
Probably. But it's worth trying out, I think. Vote for me?



TL;DR What changes? Everything.



In short. What Wight and Tom are presenting isn't THAT drastic. It could be worse, yeah? Vote for one of them, please. They're good people. I promise you.

I've never once said you're not qualified or shouldn't be running or saying your ideas are bad. I was throwing out conjecture to get answers based on what I've read.

I don't get how this is spiraling into some kind me being a negative Nancy. I was merely worried that if Wight took it alone he'd be taking on a daunting work load, out of concern of his mental well being and the boards survival.

I guess my opinion is just grating or doesn't want to be heard. I'll kindly shut my trap before I piss someone else off without me understanding why O.O;;


Edit: I'd like to extend a sincere apology to Wight for any offense caused, it wasn't my intention to be condescending or cruel or mean or whatever was taken out of context. I was merely just asking questions from a place of concern and in no way was trying to stir up trouble.

But if no one else is going to run (though, I suspect Tom is joking about this withdrawal) I'll answer.

Yes. Real Twitter accounts.

If you don't, I just might.

As a serious point, I'm feeling a little left behind with the whole twitter business as it is. It could be a just a case of me not having my FIW shit together in the slightest bit right now. Anyhow, I don't know that I could deal with it becoming more of a thing; and certainly not the thing.

Argh. I don't even know any more. This whole thing is bringing me down.

Edit: I'd like to extend a sincere apology to Wight for any offense caused, it wasn't my intention to be condescending or cruel or mean or whatever was taken out of context. I was merely just asking questions from a place of concern and in no way was trying to stir up trouble.

Just noticed this bit here, I appreciate you being willing to make amends for stuff you didn't mean to do.

Here's where I'm standing though; whether you mean to do it or not... you're doing it. It's the way some people around here are trained to act. I put forth a platform and I say "hey, if I'm doing this at all I'm doing this my way" and people pop up and say "OK, yeah, sure, but what about MY way?" It's not good enough for me to say "if you don't like what I have to offer, then don't vote for me".

I mean, if you (or anyone else) were asking clarifying questions, that's one thing. But it's not. It's accusations. It's "I don't like this part". It's "well you fucked this up, how the hell can we trust you not to fuck that up?" And I don't need that kind of aggression in my life, intentional or not.

When I first heart Craig was stepping down, I panicked. FIW may not have been my home for the last 15 years, but it's where I started and where I made a lot of good friends that I still have to this day. Because of the events last year and a lot of other shit that had been going on in my life, my confidence was shattered. I was a broken person. And as a broken person who sees the hobby they love threatened, I agreed to step up, even though the very reason I PMed him was because I was no longer sure if I could. Everyone told me it was either me, or FIW became something I didn't recognize and didn't want to participate in. Because of you and the number of other people who have only remembered the times I didn't keep a fed open for seven years, I was sure nobody would follow me if I tried to start something else in its wake.

Only in the last few weeks have I realized how to get my confidence back and started that process again. And in those last few week's I've realized that me running FIW is only going to work if I do it MY way, and I'm ALLOWED to do it MY way. I still have friends. I still have people who want to be in a fed that has my fingerprints all over it. I can still keep the version of e-fedding I love alive... with some compromises made for how the activity is evolving. Most importantly, I can do it without having to fight tooth and nail for the right to do so.

I don't want to fight. I'm not here to fight.

If running FIW means fighting with people over their vision of the fed every week, or dealing with snipe-y comments and petty downvotes, or people arguing with me with no point, just for the sake of arguing... then, no. I don't want it. I don't want to fight. I've done enough fighting.

I just wanna have a good time with my pals. If this isn't the place for that anymore, it isn't the place for that anymore. That is fine. There don't need to be hurt feelings or bruised egos over it. I'm perfectly content walking twenty feet to the left and starting up something myself and others can enjoy without fighting. Maybe it'll last a month, maybe it'll last ten years. But we'll have a good time while it lasts, and that's all that matters.

I kinda like the twitter idea. Its easy and you can do it from your phone. I don't gotta worry about wifi at work. I don't like it cus I was getting good at rping. But oh well, I'm sure I'll adapt.

I feel like there is also a lot tension in this thread. At least thats what I'm catching. Everyone, relax, take a breather. Its efed wrestling. Everybody be cool.

Maybe I am tripping, burned out from partying all weekend. But let just all be cool.

There tends to be a lot of tension in these types of threads for the reasons Wight mentioned.

I would say any potential runners need to know in advance they'll be facing criticism, it comes with the job. If you can't handle it, then it probably isn't a good idea to run. For a multitude of reasons tensions are high, in addition to how people conduct themselves in response to feedback within this thread. At the end of the day this is all about having fun, but snapping at people and being less than human won't accomplish anything nor should it be condoned.

My biggest problem with Lita's proposal is the Twitter idea. And it's a huge problem.

I have done the Twitter stuff before in a different fed. It's the major reason why I got banned from two feds and blacklisted from at least one other. First, I don't have the temperament to be able to use an account and not spend half of my time bitching about something. Second, I don't want to turn my personal account into an RP one for similar reasons. Third, I don't think I can create a new account because I don't have the best memory.

I wasn't joking.

Nothing about the negative response I've gotten in this thread makes me want to run this place. I offered to step up to help, on my terms. If my terms weren't agreeable, all you had to do was not vote for me. Instead my character is called into question, I'm challenged for no real reason, and verbally insulted out of sheer pettiness. Regardless of the intent of those statements, it makes it clear to me that even if I were to be elected, some folks would dedicate their time to making sure I had a rough go of it.

Not worth my time and effort, sorry to say.

I appreciate those who've supported me, it really touches me to see people I've had stark disagreements with in the past stand up for me, as well as those whom I've long battled beside. I love FIW a lot, but I know my limits and this nonsense exceeds them.

As I said, I'll be starting something else up soon. I'll keep y'all posted.
