RP Feedback Thread

HOLMES

-The gentleman above me is dead on with the continuity thing. It's something I pointed out to another RPer a couple weeks ago and it just endlessly irks me. Definitely avoid such things in the future if you haven't set up the change in who your character is addressing.

-I think it's too soon to be bitching about being on the B-show. Yes, I know it's just kayfabe. But I think rookies bitching about it doesn't do the other people (some serious names) working on the show any justice. Just one man's opinion. Anyone can feel free to set me right on this one if I'm not.

-Your grammar skills are tip-top, so you're on the right track there. Competent writing is the foundation of all that you intend to get across, so you need it. And have it. Hooray.

-I like the inclusion of your bet with Leon. Gets some flavor from your gimmick in there, which I always dig. I would have been even more amused if you'd mentioned something about how you could buy ten indy feds with your pocket change but it'd be beneath you. Something really snobbish that ties in with your wealth. I really don't think you're getting the milage out of this gimmick that you could. Buy.. crazy.. shit. Obviously tie it in with your promo, but do you feel where I'm coming from? If you're gonna be a rich guy, really give it to us. Of course I'm speaking from preference. It's really up to you.

-You hit on the past and the future well. Good job.
KURTESY

-Damn fine promo. A grammar error here and there, but you should know by now how to avoid such mistakes in the future, my man. No reason for me to lecture you on it.

-I like the direction you're taking your character in and it built on last week's promo well. I look forward to seeing where you land when all is said and done as I feel you still have much to offer as a seasoned gatekeeper in the tag division yet you seem destined to try your hand elsewhere.

-Biggest problem for me (and I'm new, so what do I know?) was the references to both time and frequency that one wouldn't be able to see when watching this promo. You'd been sitting there for thirty minutes. Kensworth was calling you for the twenty-third time. Okay. Swell. As a viewer, I'd never know. Personally, I'd like to see such things peppered into the dialogue. "I called you twenty-three times! Why haven't you responded to my messages?!" "You've been staring out that window for thrity minutes already." You feel me on this or am I out of line?
 
Killjoy:

The character development here being based purely on the Mayhem division is a great touch, considering you are the face of it right now. I like how you demand for more competition and some stability in something that isn't particularly stable.

Only thing I have to point out was that the mentioning of Gordito was a little weak. You made yourself a face by saying you respect him (who is also a face), but there was no substance as to why you are better than Gordito. Something was needed here.
 
Killjoy:

Fun stuff here. The whole protest like scenario was well done and showed that Killjoy knows how to work a crowd. Including Chuck Myles in there was interesting and I can see sort of an Authority Figure vs. Working Man feud coming out of this. I also liked how you're trying to revitalise the Mayhem Division. Several Excellent Ideas.
 
Pheonix/ Dave: Pleasure working with you on this one. THe language was the highlight here. And I like the fact that you give no ground to Austin and show total reluctance in working with him. With Blade showing that he is working Hammond and Beckford, the match should be fairly combustible.

Blade: Great description, good length and a great way to tell a story, The parts for Beckford and Hammond were very well written and maneouvred.
 
Austin Reynolds & Big Dave

I'm going to collectively group you two for this one because if these RP's were individual and not tag team ones, then I'd say they were excellent. Truly, they were.

However, as a tag team, it doesn't have the same feel considering that you two have connected it. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but I will treat it as if it were. Big Dave, I believe that your RP should have gone first as it leaves the cliffhanger at the end, which would lead up to the much anticipated RP left by Austin. Why have the exact same situation happen if the first one already reveals what happens? Austin, after Dave posted his RP, you should have started from you arriving to the arena from your perspective and finishing up the scenario from there, to then proceed to having the conversation with Hayley and Dominic. It could have cleared out some descriptions and cut down the RP length (though I have no problem with it).

Other than re-arranging the RP's, they were pretty good as stated above. I have nothing to make complaints about.

Blade

Very wise choice to utilise your destiny gimmick for a rare stipulation: an interesting concept, indeed. I like how you didn't just repeat yourself when you transferred between Beckford and Hammond, as well as not dedicating equal amounts of time to both men. The addition of the interview left a lot to be desired here. It's as if that you are resting the entire teams efforts on your unknown partner. Hell, I'd go as far as saying that you didn't even need the interview at all. Those two scenes did the RP perfect. The climax ended as soon as you talked to Becky.

I will give props for the idea though, very clever. Epic promo.
 
Chris Beckford:

A couple of grammatical mistakes that don't matter in there, but since this isn't particularly important... a pretty good face promo that reminds me of the current John Cena. You let out a couple of humourous lines in there to keep me interested, though allowing to build something strong in deliverance towards your opponents. I like how you address all aspects of what could happen with your character with this weeks set of shows and it was well done.

Pretty damn fine face RP.

Scott Hammond:

I've got to say, not a fan of the entire RP being placed in bold but that's up to you whether you'd like to use it. There is the odd spelling mistake as well. To the important stuff, this was a pretty good transitioning RP from going to heel into a face turn. The use of the tweener was well done, showing more face-like characteristics rather than heelish. You managed to make me laugh a couple of times as well, which made me enjoy the RP that little bit more. One thing I will mention though is your shot at Chris Beckford:

I wasn't there to steal anyone's spotlight as I'm sure Chris Beckford will probably tell you.

Yes, it does make his character look weak and you stronger with is what you'd want to do when discussing your opponent, but he is the type of face that naturally won't mention issues like this. It'd be more logical to say he might think it. That's just a personal preference.

Very good promo. This will be a classic battle between the two of you, methinks.
 
Baller: Read your post in the discussion thread so this may be why I’m going to coming across as harsh.

I think I’m missing part of the story where you are feuding with your own tag partner. The first few lines came across as so arrogant, especially to him. And it didn’t really let up. The Kobe of WZCW line is baffling to me given your past and current status.

I like your point about Teach’s name being first and there were some good lines in that last part.

Some formatting errors also, a real lack of description and confusing dialogue means this is far from your best.

You shot for a face direction and ended up as tweener at best. There was no humility or emotion there.
 
Baller - Dude, you're just not cut out to be a face are you? Sorry to sound so harsh, but I mean come on. You say you were trying to be a face in this RP, yet again it didn't come off that way at all. No face talks about carrying the tag team and somewhat belittles their tag team partner. It was a decent RP at best and it didn't come across how you wanted it to I think. If you're trying to be a face, start with being a nice guy in your RPs and not as cocky.

Kurtesy - Excellent RP. I love how you touched on your past and sort of brought everything full circle. You're a great writer and I love your work.

Beckford
- Good work this round. Not only were you fighting for your match, but you were fighting to get into another match, and you did a great part of showing that in your RP. I like how you touched on all bases. Keep up the good work.
 
Heavy Artillery:
There's something quite innocent about this promo. It's all good fun and childish but with an element of dram with the realisation of the split. It could have been a little disjointed, with three locations, but you did well by putting the break in-between. Overall this is a nice farewell of sorts to The Heavy Artillery team.
 
Heavy Artillery:

It's said to see another good tag team go. Against TN'K, you guys were like the Second Coming to our FHD (and not in a bad way). A lot of sentimental and personal feelings gone :( Ah well, this happens.

Great to see that you are embracing your tag team/individual gimmicks well in the end and try to finish the team on a high note, unlike some of the previous teams. It goes to show that not all team break-ups need a feud or bad blood stemming from them. Not sure why you go to a restaurant only to head straight to Taco Bell, but it works. The idea of talking about Karzai taking a break might have been better whilst driving since the two of you bond better (kayfabe of course) in the van.

Other than personal preferences, I like these RP's. Good enough to garner the win.
 
Titus/Lee: Much improved, I like your RPs when you try and create something deeper than the average. Your KC one was the best example and this was your closest to that in some time.

Some mistakes though.

Titus You honestly thing Ouija's work? I asked my all pal Manna if I could pretend to be him for a show to show how easy it is to manipulate someone in this sense, he's retiring anyways so said go ahead.[/color


Just a case of proof reading. Nothing huge. A great effort before the PPV.
 
Austin Reynolds

Great RP as ever, the thing I like about you is you pull the stops for every RP you do, that's something that turns someone from a good RPer into a great Rper. THe description was spot on, it flowed, didn't feel like it dragged out. Good play


EDIT: Regarding feeback for mine That bit was fine when I checked when I posted, and it's fine now....I'm intrigued as to how it reverted back :/
 
Titus!


First thoughts; you instantly grip the reader by having the interviewers argue, that was cool. It was fun watching you play with Ty's gimmick a bit, not to mention downplaying the supernatural element of it. You cover all the bases in terms of past, present and future, as well as talking about both Ty and Vengeance. Great RP, definite improvement over you last one or two.
 
Blade

Content wise, I liked it. Same style as normal, which isn't a bad thing. The way you worked both Hammond and Beckford was quite good and rather believable. The way
you did it made them trust you all to be part of the bigger game of Blade's mind.

One thing though WZCW rules say if you use someone in your RP you need to ask for permission. I wasn't asked for Titus to be used, whilst I would have said yes, you didn't ask me (I have given permission for Showtime to ask me, he's the only one who said yes). I'm sat in a canteen eating lunch when Showtime says leave it, it makes me look like a jealous 14 year old quarterback, which is totally out of character.
 
Titus (Lee) - Dude! Where do I start with this one!?

Personally, I may be out of the best RP's I have had the e loop but this is a damn fine RP, probably one of the best I have had the pleasure of reading and that is nothing to do with the fact that you are my actual friend. It is solely based on how much I enjoyed reading the RP and how original it was. I haven't seen much of anything like that before. Sure, Ty uses the Ouija board but this was a whole new spin on that concept and it really worked wonderfully well. It explained all we needed to know about Titus and addressed both the match and the opponent in a way that was entertaining to read.

Fantastic read, man. I hope Ty can match this and give us an epic encounter between two of the most original talents of WZCW.

***** RP.
 
Titus:

I should sue just about everyone for gimmick infringement:

Leon: So we know you're facing Ty this week on Meltdown, how do you feel about this match?

:lmao: ... The promo idea was pretty good in making Ty Burna look like a complete idiot, which is what the whole idea of an RP is usually supposed to achieve. I chuckled many times with Titus repeatedly going "The Oujia..." and how the audience reacted to it.

I'd have to say this is one of, if not, the best RP I have read from Titus. It covered all fronts without flaw (besides the spelling/grammatical mistakes in some spots of the RP)
 
Kurtesy

I always love how neat your RPs look, the colour choices are good and in turn always starts the promo on a cool calm level.

The emotion in this one was good, you could feel it. Anyone who has "It's for your own good" in a promo is good by my standards!

The Leon impromptu interview as you were rushing to the entrance was pretty good, and we're seeing more of Kurtesy and Crashin as a team (even if briefly).
 
Steven Kurtesy vs. Mr Baller - Beautifully laid out like usual. I loved how you used Deserts and the RP felt very emotional. What you said in the RP is very true; I think you'd do just fine as a singles competitor. The flashback to KC and the use of Teach was very well done.

Heavy Artillery vs. Pride of Toyota - Decent promo here SC. I like the others are sad to see you guys break up. The RP is good enough to get the win here. I like how you kept the consistency flowing throughout the tag team run and you finish strong here.

Blade and Beckford/Hammond vs. Austin Reynolds and Big Dave - I loved this RP it’s the exact thing I'd expect anybody in your position to do. I loved how you play Beckford and Hammond against each other trying to add petrol to the fire, great heel move. However I feel the RP concentrated more on this than you did on your opponents. You gave them a small paragraph at the end of the RP; I felt you could have done more to address them. Great RP though.

Austin Reynolds
and Big Dave vs. Blade and Beckford/Hammond - Greatness here as usual Numbers. The opening is good with Hayley and Dominic and then the typical Reynolds arrogance. I enjoyed it when you went through the weaknesses of both Beckford and Hammond and that you really didn't care who you faced. The way you finished up was great. Dave giving you a warning and then the narrator summarising was very well done.

Austin Reynolds and Big Dave vs. Blade and Beckford/Hammond - The RP works great IF it’s read before Numbers. Nevertheless it is very good. Very focused and a lot to say about your main opponent Blade. I also liked what you had to say about Reynolds you show....some could say disrespect towards him, which is strange considering he is you tag partner. Overall very good.

Scott Hammond Vs Chris Beckford - I like the layout and the transition of tweener to face. I like how you show respect to not only your opponent but to Blade as well. The back and forth with Becky is very well written and the thoughts about Dave and Reynolds felt very Emotional. Good RP here.
 
Titus

-You and the World Championship not getting along well is a point of major intrigue at the moment. I hope this theme gets more traction in your promos in the future.

-You took it to Ty in damn fine fashion. His beliefs are false and his name is easily confused with other names. Boom, boom, pow! You got him good and it was a fun read.

-My only issue is you passing off your losses as you not pulling out all the stops. I've always seen that as a cop-out yet I rarely accept that excuse from even heels... Not a problem with the promo, really. I just let weird things burn my ass.
Ty

-Pure evil. And I dig it. You seek to undercut the reputation of Titus with false altruism and you get called on it. There's no doubt what kind of man you are.

-You tie Titus in with Showtime rather well. Really, no problems with this RP. You evil bastard.
 
Alexander Steele

It's an interesting way to set it out and really does have some highlights in it. But there is a real big flaw with it. It's a bit too busy. I know you said that you were introducing a supporting cast of sorts but there is a bit too much going on here. I like your ideas but maybe if you'd saved some of them for a separate RP, then this would have worked better. Overall it's a solid RP but a little too busy.
 
Behold. The biggest Feedback post in the history of WZCW.

Blade

This was a great RP that featured a lot of things I liked. You played the tweener role pretty well. You've systematically manipulated Beckford and Hammond to do what you want and get them out of the way. However you barely mentioned Dave. Your main focus. Your match with him is a few weeks away and there really isn't much build to go with.

****

Austin Reynolds/Numbers

Hey, you stole my bell ringing shtick. Nah, just kidding.
It was long, but I'm just lazy so its not a big deal. However the overall story of the RP felt a little too long with explanations. Overall it was solid, and had a pretty good relation established with Dave. You put down your posible challengers, a lot.

****

Phoenix/Big Dave
I liked the setup for it and Dave seems focused as always. I didn't really like the suspensive ending. I didn't see a need for it.There was little interaction with you partner, but I'm guessing his RP was supposed to cover that area. It did. Solid work as expected.

****

Polley/Vengeance

I assume that a certain "lost" contract was signed. It was a great RP. I really have little to say about it other well done.

****

Showtime
You do great work, that goes without saying. However I feel like the RP would've felt more "smoothly" without Stacey. Keeping the mood seriously as you continue the feud with Ty and Vengeance.

****

Low_Ki/Scott Hammond

I truly love reading your work. Its terrific. It has a solid face promo ring to it that I really enjoyed. You have been working great as a face.

****

FalKon/Steven Kurtesy
Big boys don't cry. I like the work Steven gives during interviews. The mic skill are great. I'm not much of a fan of his whole meditating "I love my partner" soap opera thing. It kinda demeans your character.

***

Baller
Good job. You've been following up on the cocky tag team thing very well and the shaky relationship as well. I enjoyed the interaction with Leon as well.
***

Chris Jones/ZeroVX
You are one lucky bastard. You focused way too much on me. Not a bad idea to get to me, but you risked losing your match. If Smith had Rp'ed well enough, you'd be in trouble. But he didn't. Now you get to badmouth the Mayhem Champion and win a match. Solid non the less.

***

Gordito/DirtyJose
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DirtyJose again.

****

Titus
I laughed reading the play. By the way, nice Stevie reference. It was very well done. Not much I can say about it.

*****

Ty Burna
I found this one to be my favorite so far. You played the sinister thing very well. I liked the adding of homeless people to it. Its probably because of me being familiar with a few.

*****

Thriller/Phoenix

That poetic style you use is really growing on me. The war analogies were well used and well compared to the coming match.
*****

FTS/USA
The General is right. Rally up! It was a great RP. but it missed some major details. Your opponents, your match and of course your partner. Who has completely gone AWOL here.
**

Michigan/Everest

A solid and basic heel promo. What I like. Not much to say here other than it was good and will get the point through.

****

Steven Holmes/FunnyKay

I'm impressed. A very good RP. You got a bunch of facts and mocked them to the bone. Very well done.

****

SC/Heavy Artillery


Great job here. The interaction was great. And a great way to write off Max for a bit. I found the song amusing.
****
 
Since I've since adopted the feedback for feedback idea, thus far Killjoy gets feedback:

The last few weeks have had some interesting scenarios. Unique and definately entertaining. I feel you keep an otherwise (oddly) serious division light-hearted and it's necessary. Plus you give me feedback so all is good
 
Polley/Vengeance: There is definitely a verve back in your step. I've always liked the style and you always back it up. I like how you have started to build something here that will culiminate in your PPV RP.

Definitely excited to see you get a world title shot and to see what you can pull out with that pressure and expectation.
 
KILLJOY

-You're really defining yourself as the face of the Mayhem division in an impressive fashion that makes me cheer for you to have a lengthy reign. And I don't cheer for any old schmuck.

-You stand up to authority with your usual breed of oddness. Well executed.

-Nice to see Killjoy taking pride in his division and demanding better talent.

-I don't know what "Disturbing the piece" is, and there should have been a few "!!!", but all-in-all you done good.
GORDITO

-You're the perfect opponent for Killjoy at this point in that you fit the "Mayhem" mold and you're a rookie of high quality, the high quality that Killjoy wants for his division. You're happy and all that, and it came across, but I'd have dug a little more emphasis on just how much of a perfect fit this is for you at this point. That's just me. But for my money, you still write better than most of the current rookies.
 
Tucker Graham

Good role play, I did enjoy reading it somewhat and I do wish that you would have shown for the Battle Royale.

With that being said, some of the role play didn't exactly flow with me. Some of your lines seemed to rush his speech and there was, from what I caught, a single form of verb confusion. When Tucker stated that right now he's concerned about training and such, he should've said that it's because he knows that it will bring him closer to his dream, not so much that it would. If you read over that line and put will in place of would it will flow much better at that junction.

All in all a good role play that I wish had've been against me in the Battle Royale. You picked the character back up after facing a loss the way he did and gave him a reason for having failed and being more determined, I like that. Good work!
