ok. i was just making sure. Thank you for telling me and also good luck on your new place when it gets up and running too! I think i might try to think of some stuff and write up a proclamation (think that's the word for it) and get it posted up here than. Just so we can have something else and an alternative.

We all appreciate the effort and sincerity, Wight. However, I really don't think this is a matter of you being the victim. If it means anything, you seem happiest when you're doing your own thing without the input of others. I'm sure the future will be bright for us all.

Well i guess i should start off with an introduction of sorts. I’m fairly new to e-fedding in this capacity, about 2 and half years at it now. I’ve been in micro feds of sorts since 2013 though and have ran multiple and co-ran multiple on a daily and weekly bases from 2013-about early 2017. I have no real experience running an e-fed of this capacity at all,obviously i’d assume you think by this point. I’d like to throw my hat in to give another option so to speak.Down below i’d like to further explain my “plan” or at least an outline.

Baisics:
You can’t start anywhere or anything without the basics. By this i mean general rules and the like. For all matches i’d like to have them have a count out of 20 seconds. Have 2 referees in the match, one inside and one outside. The outside referee would be a “back up” of sorts just incase the one inside would to have a “bump” and also to have another angle on pins and submissions. This would help eliminate screwy finishes and BS endings IMO. Also i’d like to be lenient on dqs. This can be tweaked or changed though. Just shooting ideas for you guys to see a general direction i’d like to take.

For championship matches i’d like to have it be a 20 second count out as well. The two or maybe even three referees in the match. Also if the champion is disqualified or counted out HE/SHE WILL loose their respective title(s). On the multiple referees thing it’d be the same as above one in ring and one or two out.

Now as far as the whole “backstage” stuff goes i’d like to have a solid group of three or five people. I’d also like to change into a “HYBRID” fed. That means that we will be both angled and rp based. The angled matches will be for story lines. The rp matches will be for non story line matches and maybe a few titles, but i’ll talk about those somewhere below. For angled matches and for story lines i’d like to get involved with those who are in the story line. By means of a PM or something like that. With ideas, well i’ll never really say no to anything unless it harms you,the fed, or others (OOC and IC) that “harm” will be on my judgment as well as the others who i’d like to help me.

Also since we’ll have a new OOC “GM” i’ll make a new IC “GM” as well. The character and such for that will be made at a later date and if i’m chosen. But back to the HYBRID fed idea. I feel this is the best of both worlds for everyone here. I’d like to keep revolt as the week and a half show that it is as well. Now some may be thinking “if it’s gonna be angled than why should i rp?” well it’s to sell your character and the story you and your opponent(s) is making. If you don’t rp we’ll just assume you don’t care and don’t want to be apart of said story/match. If you no-show with no reason or explanation we will give you only one more chance to prove yourself.If you give me or one of the others a reason why you no showed or will no show than i’ll be fine with it,just so as long as it’s not a habit of yours.

There will still be no limit to characters, just as long as you can handle all of them. I believe this is all of the “BASICS” i need to talk about or at least talk about for now. If you need clarification or any questions then please ask or PM me.

Schedule/PPVs:
Honestly i’d like to see us travel more. More than the same cities and countries routinely as well. With the schedule at least for next year or for even later this year i’d like to go to other places (it’d most likely be next year so we don’t have confusion or anything or if not it’d be changes in like september or december) I’d like to go to other countries and have a mini world tour of sorts. I’d like to go to japan,south and north korea, england, germany, canada,ect. I’d be willing to hear other locations and what not from EVERYONE as well. Also we would stay in america for at least half of the year.

I’d like to have [insert superstar/hellcats name here] appreciation nights as well. This would be any time we’re in a certain superstar/hallcats. This would quickly highlight a thing or two of said superstar and give them a boost in confidence, i think. This could help us learn about our roster and our characters grow closer and such as well. If you need me to talk about this more in depth i will happily explain the idea to you.

As for the PPVs part of this well, I’d like to have only a BIG 4. The rest can change and like wighty has said i feel nesai senjou can change. In at least name if not location. I’ll gladly tell you name ideas i have for that as well. Also i’d love to keep nesai senjou(name will be changed),anarchy in the uk, summer of sin, and the grand prix as our BIG 4 PPVs. The rest can change and especially blessed and forsaken. Why the heck is it in canada when the theme is cowboys? It should be in texas if anything. Other than the BIG 4 i’d like to change the rest of the PPVs.

I’d like to keep the Prevolt this as well and feel it can help “lesser” talent and the guys/gals who are on the under/mid card who aren’t in “important” story lines or title matches.I’d also like to add a big PPV the weekend of or before Halloween. I have ideas for names and such as well. I’d love to have at least one PPV in Japan,England,America,Mexico and then the rest in various other places. I feel it’d be cool to go to the May Day Stadium in North Korea, but that’s just me and nothing is official.Also i’d like to have about 4 revolts to every 1 ppv. Or something to that effect.

MATCHES:
Matches will be short for now on. With our increasing roster i’d like to have matches be no more than two paragraphs for regular matches and no more than four for championship matches. Or if you like word limits (personally i don’t) but it would be no more than 500 words for regular matches and no more than 1000 for championship matches. I think shorter results would be easier to get through and easier on writers as well.

As for any non angled matches of mine i will ask for a neutral party to judge and vote on my matches EVERY TIME.

CHAMPIONSHIPS:
I’d be up to adding another championship as well. I pmed craig a little while back about a 24/7 championship (name subject to be changed) and i feel this could be a cool idea we could have. Now in this it will be defened every show and “every day”. Throughout rps someone can jump you for it. Anyone and Anything can win it. Yes you did read that right ANYTHING as well. This isn’t a title to be taken super seriously either it’s for fun and heck it can elevate and give guys and gals something extra. This will be strictly an angled title and the champion will have to defend it 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Think the old wwe hardcore title or even the Iron heavymetal 24/7 championship. And like i said before anyone and anything can win it. A ladder falls on you? Well if theres a ref near ya you better kick out before 3 or not tap out! Your pet cat, Felix is laying on you? Well throw him off of ya if theres a ref in the room ‘cause he could win the title from you! A member of the crowd can pin you, children, interviewers, anyone and anything like i said. The crazier the better! It’s for fun and to maybe even help folks out! I’ll talk more about it if i need to in a PM or other post as well.

FIW Championship: This will be the only title for MEN ONLY. This is the pinnacle of the company and whoever has it reps us and is the “face” of FIW. It will be an angled title. Yes this is THE strap to win but like this, this will help out both the current champion and all challengers. Before said champion looses the titles though, it’d be on his/her and his/her opponent's terms. So no one gets butt hurt or mad at anyone else. The champion MUST be in a storyline with their challenger as well. If they aren’t than they will have to find one within a week or risk getting stripped of their title. This will be how it works unless like at SOS the champion may be in another match of importance.

FIW HELLCATS Championship: This too will be an angled championship. And to be frank i think this will be most beneficial to us all. Weather you like it or not it being angled will be more fun for everyone and give everyone a nice shot and chance at it. The women who holds this will be the “face” of the hellcats division and THE top women in the company hands down. Like the FIW championship the hellcats champion must be in a storyline of sorts WITH the challenger of her title. Also this title is for WOMEN ONLY. If not in a storyline with a challenger by a week or the next revolt you will be stripped of the title and we’ll find two challengers to replace you for the title. THIS GOES FOR ALL ANGLED TITLES.

FIW FIGHTING SPIRIT Championship: This title will be RP based. I mean the name itself implies it. ANYONE can challenge for this title. You don’t need to be in a storyline of any sorts with this title and will only be asked to defend it at least at every PPV except for special reasons like you being in a huge storyline you MUST be in.

FIW RISING Championship:This will be an ANGLED title with the same rules as the other titles. This is for YOUNGER/NEWER talent only and can be won by BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

FIW WORLD TAG TEAM Championships: This will be an ANGLED title as well with the same rules as the other angled titles. It CAN be won by MEN AND WOMEN as well.

CLOSING STATEMENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE: As far as “staff” IC & OOC goes, well OOC i’ll accept volunteers and current mods/admins to be apart of the team. I’d like to have someone be mainly a booker/help me with booking, someone help and be like a main/head writer, among other things. I’d like for us to work together and be together as a team. We all help each other out and help get each others characters over and what not. If you don’t like my ideas or anything i’d just like for you to not vote for me. If you have questions please do ask and i’ll try to answer them to the best of my abilities. I feel like what i’m proposing can be both beneficial and also make the fed fun again for everyone, while keeping things in a positive and creative environment.

As far as rps are concerned i do ask that you don’t write a novel for every rp you put out. Please for me and everyone else keep in mind people DO read your work. Short and entertaining is just as good as long and many. I want QUALITY OVER QUANTITY for RP BASED MATCHES as well. There really will be nothing off limits, just keep things in the realms of reality.

No power rangers and killing people left and right. If you can go to prison for it than it’s best you don’t do it. If it can’t be done with practical tricks in front of a live audience or be done with editing for taped segments. Please keep that in mind.

Also i feel like this will be best for ideas and characters that wouldn’t do well in rp based feds as well. If you have an idea you’d like to try out than go for it! Because we’ll be a hybrid and mainly angled based fed you can see if it works or not for you. And again any questions or anything like that just PM me or ask me in the thread.

I know i haven’t been here long and i’m not the most experienced but l love this place as much as the next guy or gal. This has become my second home in the world of e-feds and i’ll work as hard as i can to keep her going. With this change and these new ideas, and if you vote for me than i hope we can all make a new FIW and a better FIW. If you like my ideas please do vote for me and if you don’t than go and vote for another person. Thank you all for your time and no matter the outcome i hope we can all have a great FIW and all continue our love and passion for this place!

I've tried to stay out of this one because really I'd rather avoid it for two reasons.

I'm saddened by Wight's withdrawal, he has gone back and forth certainly in PM's to me over the last several weeks so for it be final nail in the coffin, is a shame. The only surprising thing to me about that whole exchange is that it was a surprise to Wight. It's fantastic that people have strong opinions about how FIW should be run, it shows they care, and while I get accused of being overly positive at times, the flip side to that is whoever is in 'charge' will run FIW as they see fit.

My style is to involve as many people as possible, take as much from others as I can, that's not going to work for everybody (or indeed anybody else). If they want to run this fed as a one man band and win the vote then they win the vote, they earned that right to do so. We'd all like FIW to be our vision but the truth is that the shit comes to one person to deal with and as much as you consult others or ask opinions, they have the freedom that it won't tarnish them. We had a thing in the feedback where I'd used somebody's suggestion for a finish and it didn't go over well, the person who suggested it was all right because that's all they did, I'm the dickhead who put in place. Don't want to roleplay or participate under their vision then Lita has set the example of finding somewhere you enjoy better. And if you do want FIW to be run under your vision, you know what to do. Get your name down. That's not aimed at anybody, before I get flak for it, that's just general information for all.

The other reason that I didn't want to read much into this thread is that I knew it would upset me. Obviously nobody has tried to do that but it has. More because of what isn't being said, there's like an added sentence onto some of the comments, like a reading between the lines deal. When Wight says that it was his schedule, his idea to change the titles, I hear "Not Craig's." When Bob talks about the lack of drama, I hear "Because Craig hasn't tried to change anything and put his own stamp on things." Which is when most drama occurs. When Lita says that FIW is broken, I hear "Craig hasn't fixed it." I hardly ever refer to myself in the third person. None of those comments were intended as criticism but I can't help interpret them that way in my own mind. And the thing is, they're all fair comments. Can't argue with any.

Not that it's been mentioned by anybody, aside from Wight in a PM, it was suggested that I have displayed signs of wanting to stay on and add myself to the ballot. Absolutely no intention of that at all, my reasons for stepping down I think are still valid and nothing has changed on that score. I've never stopped roleplaying, I'd like to continue but I'm in the same boat as everybody else, waiting to see what happens and looking forward to submitting my vote when ReVolt comes around.

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.

I am terribly sorry to see you decide not to run. I have always respected you because you have a vision of what you want, you are honest about it and you don't stab people in the back. I was really hoping you would be running things because I have known you so long and enjoy the ideas you have. I totally can appreciate your decision though and understand.

I wish you would reconsider, Craig. I love your format. Its so simple, every fri and other tues was cool. Who ever rps the best wins. (I did think more won at first lol and found out later no) i know Im fairly new here, but my time spent here with you as GM has been fun. Even if I don't like the next set of rules or if its angle based and leave I will always have had a run with a title, thanks to you. Thank you for putting up with me and everyone else, even when I was a pain in the ass and you always kept a cool head. Your positive attitude made this place great and I miss you already as GM

Gonna try to type this best I can.

Hi, I'm Sticky. I've been an e-fedder since 2010 and in OC feds since 2011. I've been in good feds and garbage ones, seen how to and how not to run a fed, and have either caused or dealt with my fair share of drama. All of which, I believe, makes me a good candidate to run FIW.

So how would I do things in FIW?


1. RPs: I would keep FIW an RP-based fed. I've been in angle-based feds before, and they've sucked. Every time, it's been a case of, "It doesn't matter how good you are, you don't fit in our plans. You will NEVER fit in our plans." I don't like that and do not intend to subject anyone else to it.

If you want to do actual Twitter stuff, fine. But the RPs will remain the meat and potatoes and asparagus and roasted garlic bread of the fed. Maybe we can change the Twitter thread here into a banter thread between things.

2. JUDGING: The judging system would be out. Instead, the entire fed would serve as judges. How? By voting. A couple of days before the show, a ballot would be sent with the matches involved. All that is needed is a simple vote.

EXAMPLE:

FIW CHAMPIONSHIP: Stephen J. Eversol vs. Erik Holland

"The Predator" Gustav David Richlen vs. Caleb Claudel

#1 CONTENDER'S MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO FACES MERCEDES BLACKWELL AT SUMMER OF SIN: Xenia vs. Rebel vs. Dee Dee Summers

Shaelin Marie Richlen and The Dream vs. Kim Coulter and Nathaniel Alexander

Note the shortness of that ballot, by the way. I will mention it again momentarily.

So, the vote may look something like this:

FIW CHAMPIONSHIP: Stephen J. Eversol vs. Erik Holland
Winner: Eversol

"The Predator" Gustav David Richlen vs. Caleb Claudel
Winner: Richlen

#1 CONTENDER'S MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO FACES MERCEDES BLACKWELL AT SUMMER OF SIN: Xenia vs. Rebel vs. Dee Dee Summers
Winner: Dee Dee Summers

Shaelin Marie Richlen and The Dream vs. Kim Coulter and Nathaniel Alexander
Winners: Coulter and Alexander

Now, if anyone is worried that someone may be biased for their own character, remember that that person is one handler. They're outnumbered.

3. CARDS AND PPVS: In the first OC fed I was in, we did a show every week and a PPV replaced it every 4-6 weeks. Obviously, even with us having people who can easily pick up the slack on match writing, that may be a hard bit of work. This is why the ReVolt cards would be only four or five matches long. It also gives people a chance to not drain themselves writing for everyone they have at once. People can still do things for the show, of course: just because I only book NBE for a show, it doesn't mean Wighty can't do something with or for Zombie Black.

PPVs of course, will have as much done as possible.

Now as far as how we do PPVs: Nensai Senjou would no longer be the biggest show. Rise Of A Legend would have that honor. NS would be our Royal Rumble instead. I would do adjusting on the other PPVs as well: Summer of Sin stays, Blessed And Forsaken might stay, Anarchy In The UK and Deadlock would go.

4. MATCH WRITING: Everyone can write matches in the style they see fit. Most here do short stuff unless it's for a PPV. I'm used to doing lengthier writing. Both are fine.

5. CHARACTERS AND LIMITS: If you do plenty of writing on a regular basis, you can have multiple characters WITHIN REASON. Obviously Lita isn't going to suddenly have Harley, Caleb, Johnny, Brittany, and Kim PLUS a Burt Reynolds impersonator, an Incredible Hulk knockoff (which I have seen in one fed), and the ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Extreme example, I know, but my point.

Also, I want to see loosening up of picbases WITHING REASON. If we want to use cartoon/anime/video game characters for picbases if we think we can do it sensibly, and if we have the editing ability to do so, then why not.

6. ATTITUDES AND HOW THEY ARE DEALT WITH: THIS may be the most important thing. I am guilty of being a major league asshole at times. We've all seen it. Hayden has dealt with my issues aplenty elsewhere so he knows how bad I could be. But it's how these things get handled that makes a difference.

NOBODY is to be punished by being jobbed out, whether their work is good or not. I'd rather we handle things with the LEAST, AND I DO MEAN LEAST, amount of nastiness. That's not to say people can be just let off the hook for being assholes, but it is to say that drastic measures are the very last thing to be considered.




Hopefully I've spelled out as clearly as I can what my ideas are as far as how I would run FIW. I would be honored if you gave me a chance.

So I did some thinking lately over what, I believe it was Wight (sorry for not double checking it) who said if you have ideas you should just throw your hat in. I was quite hesitant to do this, to be honest, what with my schedule, being new around here and such but hopefully I've found a way to work around that. Therefore...

[align=center]Posted Image[/align]

Scheduling
This is perhaps one of the biggest work arounds I've had to think of given I not only work nights but shift work as well. Meaning my schedule changes on a week by week basis and while I could say the show goes up on a night I'm off (because I see my schedule at least three weeks in advance) it wouldn't be fair to you guys to have constantly changing deadlines and showdates. So scheduling would stay the same.

The workaround: I would open a staff based account, or just reuse the FIW Network like I've seen used before. Matches (which I'll get to) will be sent in to this one account that way, if there isn't enough to post a show by the time my work schedule begins, I can contact a backup of sorts to keep the best eye they can on the account and perhaps post up the show themselves. Worst case scenario, show goes up in the morning after the original airdate. This obviously leads to...

Staff
Yes, I do agree that too many cooks in the kitchen can be a bad thing, which is why I'd only accept a limited number of individuals. Perhaps just two or three as to not get things cluttered. Obviously, there can only be one head chef but I'd be open to communication from the others.

Storylines
If you don't give a general direction with your character through either your roleplays or to me specifically, I'll try and find you something. Obviously it would take a bit as I'd have to find someone who's in the same boat and test compatibility, but I would try to get something. A creative team would definitely help in this respect. Individuals who could create storylines and pass them to me.

Judging and Match writing
It'd be nice having an actual committee, but I would accept any and all volunteers wishing to help out. Match writing would be short results (with commentary being optional) with just a few paragraphs. PPV's would be nice to see fuller matches but we'll go by a volunteer basis. I don't wanna make it a rule or promise and then find out there's only two people willing to write a Summer of Sin or what have you.

Character limitations
If you can write them then you can have them. However, don't be surprised if a few of your characters don't make cards for the first little while. My plan is, for the first little bit (perhaps the first PPV period) is to have smaller cards so I can get a feel of everyone's characters at a slower pace rather than having everything thrown at me. After that, we'll definitely see what we can do about a card length. :) Volunteer writers will also play a heavy role in a grown card.

Rising; FIW's nXt
Not even gonna hide the comparison there. lol But I do like the idea of bringing in a separate show with the Rising title, and it seems like a popular choice among others. It would have smaller cards with perhaps headline main events. Mostly tag matches depicting FIW talent teaming with Rising talent with one Supercard before each PPV. Whether this replaces the preview show or not is undetermined and therefore open to debate.

Do I have to go through Rising before coming to FIW proper?
No. Rising would just be a fun little test area where talent can come and go as they please. Just, you know, lemme know if you don't wanna keep using the character. lol You can also move a current ReVolt character you have down here and vice versa.

Rising Schedule
I...haven't even thought of this. lol I was thinking something that could coincide with ReVolt's schedule but it might produce more workload for those on Rising and ReVolt of that period. I also considered making it micro with a 1K or 2K word count per RP, but I don't know how people would take to that. So certainly this too is open for debate.

Championships
None of them will be angled. That's kind of a big thing for me as I prefer titles be challenged for and earned/defended through the work put in. I do remember the discussion had a few months ago and I'm willing to let my own views slide in favor of the majority in keeping women from competing for the World and men competing for the Hellcat. FSC, Rising, and Tag titles I would like to keep intergender, however. Although I'm aware that presently (I think) the FSC isn't but with Rising moving to its own show it would leave at least the one midway title. Also toying with the notion of Rising being defended at the RatC events. Since it is a title, after all.

PPVs
To be honest, aside from giving the chance for a few one liners, I've never felt the importance of a show's title. So I'm open to suggestions in name changes. This includes Nensai Senjou it there's more demand on it.

Crystal
I wouldn't drop her but I would move her to Rising as a talent coordinator or something. Essentially, I wouldn't roleplay my own character. Not because I'm afraid of bias views, but because if I'm doing all this other stuff I'm not gonna have a chance to roleplay a character as well. lol

Suggestions
I'd be very open to taking them from everyone. But please keep in mind that until I decide to act, they are just that; suggestions. I can't start getting pulled every which way because then I start getting confused over what's going on. From what I've seen and read, Craig's over positivity has been taken a wrong way by some. I can understand that, but I can't say I would change it. If any ill matters can be dealt with on a private scope then that's how I'd handle things. It's like any kind of company, you don't yell at someone on the floor. That's why you have chairs in front of your desk at the office as well as a door. So my apologies to those who don't like the outward "nice guy" routine, but I'm a firm believer in "People don't know there's a problem until you tell them".

This, of course, would mean if you do have problems with anything (whether it be judging or how things are being run in general or anything you feel can be fixed only by staff involvement) then I'd ask you come to me. I'm certain we can work something out.

However, something I learned when I was in university and it's something I'll be implementing. It might annoy some, but I do ask that if you have problems with the results of a match I simply ask you wait 24hrs before putting in a complaint. The professor suggested 48 but given our own tight schedule I'm willing to cut it down in half. How will I implement it? Obviously I can't stop you from sending said messages, but I won't react to any sent within the 24hr period after a show has been posted. I'm not saying this to be a dick, there's just a scientific basis behind it all.

I think that's everything. At least I hope it is. The tl;dr basis is...nothing HUGE will change too much, shows might be a little late, cards will be smaller for the first bit, and I'll be ripping off nXt with Rising. lol

As someone who's used his fair share of animated reps, I believe the reason for real humans only is graphics maker's sensibilities about having everybody look right and uniform on posters. I'd support a loosening of the rule to include an animated rep for sigs and personal graphics (maybe profiles, but I could go back on forth on that,) but keeping the real human beings for official graphics. Lita has been very accommodating over the years for variations on real people; adjusting hair colour, (<3) eye colour, even adding masks.

I mean, you guys can do whatever you want with reps. I'm most likely not staying.

I'm not sure if the downvote is showing displeasure with my absence in the fed or out of anger because I'm choosing to leave following your proposal, but I'll explain in any event.

I do not enjoy being in FIW anymore. I stick around because it's what I've always known (minus an extended absence where this place wasn't just not fun but a downright hostile environment). It took a long time for the negative aura around this place to go away. It's gone now, but FIW is still an RP fed and I do not want to be in an RP fed. It's the reason I'm out the door almost regardless of who gets voted in.

I would have been more inclined to stay if Wight took over since he and I are very good friends and I've always been willing to work with him. I would not be staying because of the fed, but because of my history with Wight. That's not a knock on anyone else who submitted a proposal.

At this rate, the only interest I have in FIW is if my insanely ridiculous pitch to change everything is actually of interest to the majority. The more I think about it, the less disinterested I am in trying to make it happen. I do not want to be in an RP fed regardless of what changes around that concept. I don't want to be in a hybrid fed where some people are playing in an angled sandbox and some are playing in an RP sandbox. I don't want to be in a fed where intergender competition is the norm. I can go literally anywhere else and get that WITH the added bonus of it not being an RP fed.

I'm sorry if my decision to leave angers anyone, but it's not a decision I made based on anyone personally running. When Craig told me he was leaving at Summer of Sin about a month or so ago, I told him to help me set that stage for my potential departure as well as I figured it would go down this way.

It's entirely due to your decision to leave.

And I really don't like the idea of switching to angled. Maybe other people do better in them than I did but my experience has either been Steve Austin in WCW or much worse.

I feel like everyone is being over dramatic. RP based or Angle based, the winner deserves a chance at running things. I do not want an angle fed. I'm a firm believer in the hardest worker succeeds. But I am still willing to try the new GM's way of working things here, regardless if its the way I want or not. This is like the presidential election, "If my team doesn't win, I'll leave (or go to Canada lol) " Look, no one is gonna have the perfect idea to please everyone, no one! Why cant we vote for who we like and who ever wins we except it and move on and have some fun?

Wight, what the hell man? You quit because two people criticized you. Dude, who cares? If you know your way will work, dont worry what anyone has to say. Beethoven had his critics too, see if you can name 3? Thats right, you can't.

Guys this place has been around for 15 fucking years. Lets not let it die because we cant agree on things.

I swear to God, if I start seeing #NotMyEfedPresident on twitter I'm going to fucking flip out! Lol

That's true, but even in angled feds it's hard work and dedication to get to the top. I mean your not having dragon or the brothers nights challenging for the FIW championship or anything. That's stupid. Plus it's more story based and everyone has something to do more than match after match after match. No matter who wins i feel they'll do the best they can and that's all i can ask for.

If you wanna leave than that's fine. You know where we are and we'll be here waiting for your glorious return. Rp feds are fun but create an environment that becomes hostile for some and others get butt hurt when they loose. (sorry but that's just the truth. Some people take this too seriously and make it out like we're in WWE or something) Aslo i'd be willing to work and change stuff too. If what i propose doesn't really work i'd change it till we start getting something to work.

A hybrid fed just seems like the clossest thing to what everyone is cool with IMO. and if anyone starts a #NotMyEFedPresident than that's gonna be ridicules among other things. But wouldn't it be more like #NotMyGM? if we were in character anyway. Either way it goes we need to find someone to vote for and someone who can keep this place running,even if for a month or a year. As long as we can keep running and keep the place we love alive than who gives a damn about little details and bickering? Suck it up and get over it. We can all work together and keep this place alive together or we can jump at each other like animals and start ruining this place.

Either way lets try our best to do something great. Either way i have to say i respect each and every man and womens opinion here and i respect all who throw their hats into the ballot. Who ever wins this thing will do fine, and if they need help they have their fellow efedders to help them and raise them up.

Wight, what the hell man? You quit because two people criticized you. Dude, who cares? If you know your way will work, dont worry what anyone has to say. Beethoven had his critics too, see if you can name 3? Thats right, you can't.

Every time I've tried to run FIW in the past where I wasn't literally the only person available, I've had pushback on my ideas because "it's not the way we've always done things." Nevermind the fact that half the shit I was trying to change wasn't "the way we've always done things" in the first place. I put up a platform, and I asked for no pushback; just don't vote for me. I immediately get pushback, and on top of that, personal attacks that I've been seeing as a pattern every time I try to get shit done, or whenever people feel like it's time to fuck with me to get me all riled up and laugh as I get angry.

I'm not dealing with that shit while I'm also trying to run this board for the benefit of everyone in it. It's an unnecessary multiplier to stress. Craig has been here for a year, and he's made some big changes. Important titles have changed hands on rough calls. His characters have gone over other people's characters. Yet, here I am, already catching up to him in the amount of people causing me drama and I hadn't even been elected. If this is the precursor of things to come, I don't want it. Perhaps that makes me overly-sensitive; fine. I'm comfortable being a sensitive person. Perhaps reacting to try and defend my reputation against these accusations makes me "sub-human". Fine. It was probably foolish to try and do so in the first place, but they're issues I'm very sensitive about that I'm not sure needed to be brought up.

This hasn't been constructive criticism. It's just been criticism. Sometimes it's just out-and-out insults. And even in the wake of all this madness, the guy leveling the most shit my way sure as hell doesn't seem fit to step up. I've always been of the opinion that if you don't like what's being offered, then you should have some ideas to replace it instead of just shouting "NO, LAME." at the top of your lungs.

So, no, I'm not running. It might be a minority causing problems. It might be a person who only just got here and is likely to leave soon, as they usually do. But if they want to sink this ship for the rest of the fed by being a destructive element, then so be it. I'm not putting up with it for "the greater good".

It's worth mentioning I'll probably be leaving after the PPV as well. I'm sure that suits some of you just fine.

They way a hybrid efed works... or at least the way i'd want it to work in my "vision" so to speak would be that unless both parties state otherwise it'll be who ever has the best rp wins the match. This will be heavily influnced and favored toward storylines and building characters. If you aren't in a storyline or "just another match" than it'll be rp based only and whoever rps the best will win. If in a story line than you and the others can determine and tell the higher ups what you'd rather do, being an rp based match or just a predetermined(real life) kind of match.

Either way titles and such are still based off of hard work and how much you put into your guys and gals. You can also have better and more chances at titles and matches YOU WANT to have as well. Because really if you wanna do some hardcore match and the other handler is ok with it than go for it! as long as it's not over complicated and stuff.

I hope this helps a bit more but yeah i think you have the gist of it rob. It's a little bit of both angled and rp based. Everyone can find something they want in it and it'll be the best of both worlds if done right. Plus we can always change and tweak things here and there too.

No one HAS to be here if they don't want to be. We're not voting the leader of where we live. We're voting for the leader of where we chose to play. If where we chose to play isn't what we want, then why stick around and be unhappy? What benefit is that to the person trying to run the place their way?

I wouldn't have a problem with an RP fed if the we were ACTUALLY an RP fed. What we are is a fed that tries to accommodate people as best as possible under the guise (and often times practice) of being an RP fed. The hardest worker doesn't always win because sometimes the hardest worker already has a title. Sometimes the hardest worker has been winning a bit too much. Sometimes the hardest worker hasn't complained as much. And don't tell me that doesn't happen. I've been here. I've seen it. I've been victim of it and apologized to because of it. I'm not talking Craig. I'm talking judges. Not one judge. Numerous judges.

I'm not letting it die. But I'm also not going to stick around and watch it die because we want to cling to archaic ideas that have routinely lead to problem after problem or because we want to turn every campaign thread into this back and forth bickering. In fact, there's been enough of it in this thread to be completely honest.

Thread is locked.

If you wanna run, then PM your interest and campaign to Craig (maybe me too because I don't know if Craig even wants to deal with it at this point). One of us will probably make a new thread strictly for the campaign proposals and if you have questions from there, either contact the candidate directly or maybe we'll make a second thread strictly for CLARIFICATION PURPOSES.

CRAIG EDIT: Sure, send any further proposals through. Either myself or Lita will start a thread on Saturday containing all of them without the ability to respond. Contact candidates directly to discuss. Voting opens on Tuesday for all active members when ReVolt is posted. Voting will be via PM to ensure all above board.
