Anyway, let's say that the deadline for me receiving your lists is the 12th of June - get to writing, boys - and I'll hopefully get your rosters back to you the next day, you'd then have until the 20th (a Saturday) to write your show. Do people find that sufficient?
Like I said though, you can make it about more than one show if you're so inclined.
As for how long, no limit. Sure, people can abuse that and write novels (perhaps you for one), but it's just as much about style as it is length.
30 wrestlers, 2 commentators and 1 GM. Mini-lists for the GM and commentators.
The latter. The "you take a pick, I take a pick, he takes a pick..." system is all well and good, but has been shown to take fucking forever. People lose interest quickly. The wildcard nature of this new system is also quite cool.
I didn't explain the system in great detail, so I'lll give it another shot.
1. You each give me list of 100 wrestlers, a list of 10 commentators and a list of 10 GMs. They can be from every period. No wrestlers, however, can be used as GMs or commentators. That rules out Foley, JBL, Tazz... you get the point, though you can use them as commentators or GMs if you pick them up as wrestlers. These lists make up your desired roster. You get 30 wrestlers, 2 commentators and, obviously, 1 GM.
2. Perfect world, everyone gets their top 30. Obviously though, there will be clashes. If one person wants wrestler A and another person wants wrestler A, the person who has wrestler A highest on their list gets him. However, if they have him at the same number, it's randomly chosen who gets him. This goes on until everyone has thirty wrestlers from as high on their list as possible... without clashing with someone else's. Same with commentators and GMs.
3. Write your damn show.
June 12th, unless anybody has a massive problem.
Shoot.
As far as shows go, I think I'd be fine with writing one. My biggest hang-up is questioning if I'd have the time to write multiple shows. If I had 2 weeks or so to write one solid show, I'm sure I could do that.
Can we have a full list of Commentators and GMs available, that way we know we'll have enough to go around?
That way we can write out which commentators we'd like, in a list similar to the 100 that we'd write out for Wrestlers. Same deal for GMs.
This answers my above question of what all commentators and GMs will be available. I assume we just find 10 random commentators and GMs, and if they work, they work.. if not.. what then?
This also goes into questioning how many players will be doing this. 10 commentators might end up being a lot of the same with everyone.. so I'd assume some people may not get the commentators they desire.
Obviously we wouldn't be able to write our shows though, until we knew exactly who was on our roster.. correct?
SO.. the deadline of like say, two weeks (or longer?) won't start until we get our rosters, yeah?
June is good for me. (to start, right?) This allows us to have a list of 100 in to you by like a week or two from now.. then you (or whoever) to split them up among everyone, and get our rosters back to us before June 12th..
Or, is June 12th the deadline to have our shows written?
1. Can we use whatever type of gimmicks matches that we'd like/Can we create imaginary gimmick matches (as long as they're realistic)?
2. Do Tag Team's count as one pick? (ex. If I wanted the Bushwackers - which I don't - do I pick them as one pick, or Luke then Butch.. and take the chance that someone didn't pick Butch then Luke, and we both get screwed with only getting one each)
4. When are the 100 Wrestlers, 10 commentators, and 10 GMs lists due by?
Some part of me actually thought you wouldn't have any further questions. How very foolish I was.
Two weeks seems fair. Make sure you don't forget though. 'Cos if you do...
Sure. I think I'll just have a big info dump in this thread later tonight, when I have a bit more time.
Yeah, OK. I think I feel ya, playah.
Then you do the best with what you've got. Personally, I'd be more interested to read the interactions between Todd Grisham and Bobby Heenan than JR and the Lawler.
I've decided to split it into sections of five. That means we've got two, almost three groups right now. If nobody else joins, I'll divide it up more fairly.
OK, how's this; you get me your roster list by June 9 and I'll have your rosters back to you by June 12. Then you've got until June 26 to produce a show.
Sure, go nuts. You could make a massive joke out of it if you want.
I'm gonna say no, just in the interests of fairness. However, I'll allow each participant five trades within your section. If he's got the other half of the tag team, oddly, try to work something out.
June 9 good?
I've decided you only need a list of fifty wrestlers and three GMs. Still ten commentators.
Edit: Scratch that, six commentators. OP updated.
Will 50 be enough, depending on whether or not a lot of us somehow pick the same 50 guys?
Don't get me wrong, 50 is a nice number.. easily to sort, too. But depending it might be hard to split up 50 guys, between 5 people.. especially if all 5 of us pick the same 30-40+ guys.
The GMs will be easily (in theory) since you can pick anyone. Barney is currently very high on my list, mind you. And I have a nice duo of commentator's set in mind, I hope no one else wants.
One last thing.. are we required to give a title/name to our show/wrestling federation? If so.. Authentic Championship Wrestling (A.C.W) for me, please.
You wanna do it that way? We can do it that way. The top two from each section?
