Book This! - General Discussion

Having not looked at the BT Factor entries yet i'm guessing one of those people is me. If so in my defense I don't have a program to do word count for me and isn't it better to have too much detail rather than not enough?

Personally I wouldn't hold that against people, If the extra detail doesn't make it suck.

You should download Open Office. It runs on PC and Mac, and is a completely free Microsoft Word/PP/Excel clone. I actually prefer it more, most of the time. Been using it for two years now.

Good to know. I'll try to find out more about it tonight.

Mine went slightly over the 2000 word mark. I think mine was like 2200 give or take. I've only skimmed, but enjoyed the entries through the brief viewing I did. Will read tonight and get GCB my votes.
 
Well it took me over a month to write but FINALLY Sacrifice is up! Sorry to spread it out over 3 posts but it's a lot longer than I thought it was. Well worth the read though I assure you! :)

P.S. to anybody who reads it, I'm not 100% sure on the format, If you can think of anyway I can improve it let me know and I'll take it under consideration for future shows.
 
There was a word count of 2000 words right? Some people didn't follow that simple rule. Shouldn't they be disqualifyed. You know, to keep it fair.

No, I don't think so. I made the 2000 word 'rule' to try and keep the words used down but I think those that exceeded it should simply be subject to people not voting them as high if they feel strongly about it.

I'm not putting a word limit in Round 2 ...
 
p.s. I know who is out - at the moment.

Just JAM to send his votes plus anybody else. If JAM doesn't send his votes in, he loses 10 points remember? It is very, very tight at the moment! Tomorrow night 21:00 GMT is the deadline.
 
Thinking of trying my hand at a new thread, two options I'm thinking of are 2013 and 2001, problem with doing the invasion angle is that there is too much talent.

Is it set in stone who's eliminated?
 
4 Hours, 50 Minutes.

I have a good feeling that I wont be voted out. I don't know why. Maybe, it's because I tried hard with it.

-------------------------------------
I'm also thinking of starting a project. Book The Rivals. This would consist of me booking a rivalry. Maybe made up and some times a rivarly in Pro Wrestling now.

I think the only problem with the exceeding the rule is that as for my admission, I didn't go into great details to make sure I didn't exceed it. I know I voted the people that went over the limit in the last spots because they broke the rules, even though I thought their ideas were better then some that are ranked ahead of them. Also I think all entries should have been anonymous, so "name value" wasn't taken in consideration just the basis of the work.(but that's just my take).

So you think people with better ideas deserve to be eliminated? Yeah cause that makes sense....:rolleyes:

Seriously I won't name names but there was a couple people I thought sucked this round and if I get eliminated simply for going over the word limit that will be beyond stupid.
 
Just saying, 42 minutes to go. Just going to throw some discussion into the mix.

If you had a stable in your Book this thread between John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Batista. Who would you make the leader and why?

Cena, because I couldn't see him in any other role.

I just said my opinion which is number one if you don't follow the rules, you don't follow the rules and should be punished. That's just how I voted. I just know I wrote mine the way I did to make sure I stayed under the limit because I figured you would be punished or dq if you didn't.
 
To be honest, and this is just my opinion. I don't think we should have had voting, I understand the reason why we did but I feel there should have been a judging system, obviously an impartial one with only people who haven't entered judging. That's just my two cents...

I'll agree with this. Too late now though I guess.

I don't even think I could book them. Maybe temporarily they could team up to fight somebody like the Nexus or Shield, but I just can't see those four guys being in stable. Not even sure how I'd approach the idea, to be honest.

The ONLY way I could conceivably see this happening - not IRL mind you, but in a BT thread - is if they all turned heel. That's right, all of them. It'd basically become a 4-man power trip of guys who got so sick of pandering to the WWE Universe and playing within the rules. It'd work much better with just Sheamus, Batista and Orton, because then you could actually buy into the idea. At this point, and I know it's a highly requested thing among fans, I feel like turning Cena heel would feel incredibly forced.
 
Also, I haven't had any feedback on my first two shows. Considering that many of you encouraged me to start doing this, I'd love to get some feedback on how I'm doing. I know with just one storyline it's probably not all that special, but some of the things I want to know are:

1) Am I doing a good job capturing the character of Antonio Cesaro. I think I am, because I can hear his voice in my head while I'm writing his lines. But I also understand that may not come off perfectly in translation.

2) How have my two matches been? I was worried about that, because it's not something I've really done before. However, I've been doing the live coverage for Wrestlezone a lot lately, and it's an extremely similar process. Except, instead of watching on TV, I just picture the match happening in my head and write it from that.

3) What did you think of the return that was included in the 1/7 Raw? Do you think he was the right guy to bring back, or would you have rather it been somebody else? Would you like to see more between Cesaro and the returning guy? And yes, I'm being intentionally vague for those who don't want it spoiled.

Hello there HGR! To be honest, the reason I havn't given much feedback is because I have been a bit busy and I don't feel you need it. It's all really good as it is. I'll try to answer the questions though to the best I can.

1) Am I doing a good job capturing the character of Antonio Cesaro. I think I am, because I can hear his voice in my head while I'm writing his lines. But I also understand that may not come off perfectly in translation.
To be honest you are. I could imagen Antonio saying what you had him say in the promo. I'd like to see more stage action though. For example of him waving the American Flag.

2) How have my two matches been? I was worried about that, because it's not something I've really done before.

Honestly they have been really good. Better then expected actually. However, what I will say that the match with Shelton stood out the most.

3) What did you think of the return that was included in the 1/7 Raw? Do you think he was the right guy to bring back, or would you have rather it been somebody else? Would you like to see more between Cesaro and the returning guy? And yes, I'm being intentionally vague for those who don't want it spoiled.
When I think of Benjamin, I think of the Intercontinetal Championship more then the US. I think that some one like John Morrison or maybe someone like Chris Masters would be better.

It's been good so far. Keep it up.
