Yes I'm the cracker

Awesome song. Mezmerize and Hypnotize are underrated. I always thought they should have been released together as the double album their cases combined into, instead of separately.

I would argue that Mezermize is their best album, and Hypnotize their worst. Maybe it's just me who thinks that way but there it is. I would much rather the albums stay separate especially since they were released at the tail-end of the double album trend that dragged so many decent albums down into the doldrums with disc two.

While I agree that Hypnotize is the weaker of the two halves, Mezmerize feels incomplete without it. In double album form the two combine to form Soldier Side (I remember reading a decade ago this was the unofficial name for the double album), which when both halves count would rank higher than Toxicity for me. By itself Hypnotize is their second weakest, but when all 5 albums are good that's not necessarily a bad spot to be in.

Toxicity
Mezmerize (by itself)
System Of A Down
Hypnotize (by itself)
Steal This Album


That's how I rank the official releases.
 
If you don't mind, I have a suggestion/complaint. Didn't want to interrupt on your fantasy league in the Writting Gallery. So, here it is. Considering your vast knowledge, I found Big Top Wrestling an absurd name. Should have gone with Blue Thunder Wrestling or something more interesting.
 
I understand what you mean. It's not a flashy name. But then again it's not supposed to be. It's called Big Top Wrestling because the theme I'm running with borrows heavily from carnival acts of old. It's meant to be a small e-fed and I hope by it's first show I make that point across clearly. The graphics and the like are not great. The roster is tiny. But it's also an alternative for the realistic e-feds like WCWF. Another reason why it's called BTW. It's held inside a Big Top Tent, too.

Sorry didn't mean to ramble. The idea is just something to pass my time until shows are up over here tbh. Not a serious endeavor but if people enjoy it, I'll keep it going.
 
Random thoughts

  • I'd ask a few veteran RPers to come back if only for a cycle. Have them bring in their characters to invade WZCW. Call themselves "The Old Guard" and just fuck everything up for a bit. Be a change of pace.
  • I wonder how many goofy tag teams have really made it in the fed. We have HMP and SaboSax, but I can't think of any others from the 30 or so tag team champs history thread. Need more crazy duos!
  • Why do we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?
  • Cerberus can beat a Minotaur. Can it beat a Manticore though?
  • Face Ramparte is unnerving.
  • Writing a fictional e-fed by yourself is hard, but it feels good knowing the only one who can make it suck is you.

This could be exciting as hell.

Yeah, the tag team division is small. We have only 3 teams at the moment.

[*]Why do we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?

'Cause I don't know why.

[*]Cerberus can beat a Minotaur. Can it beat a Manticore though?
Don't know much about Greek mythology so, I'll be mute here.

[*]Face Ramparte is unnerving.

Don't know if it's a question.

Yes, well said. Enjoy! Although, Bookworm can do double duty.

You mean "The Elite?"

  • Why do we park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?

I know this answer:

  • Parkways are roads next to, going through or parallel to parks (i.e. a way through the park)
  • Driveways are clearances on properties that allow the use of vehicles (i.e. a right of way for driving).

I work in the industry.

I was thinking of a group of guys coming back out of the blue. Not guys who were actively on the roster beforehand.

I have learned something this day. Thanks Falk.

I like this idea. It's the perfect angle for 3 or 4 veterans returning. The hard part would be finding those who the time and the desire to RP again for a bit. Real life seems to be getting in the way of far too many people around here.

We just need more teams in general, but yes another HMP/Saxoteur type would be awesome.


Cerberus can beat a Minotaur. Can it beat a Manticore though?

Yeah but anyone can beat Darren Bull. Except maybe Barrett Stratton.... The next HMP/Saxoteur type of team who comes should name themselves Manticore and feud with Cerberus. Mythological warfare!


Face Ramparte is unnerving.

Given Ram's persona an internal conflict on whether he wants to truly be "good" or not could make for some good RP material.


Writing a fictional e-fed by yourself is hard, but it feels good knowing the only one who can make it suck is you.

This is why I stick to one character and why only 2 or less of the Merry Band Of Misfits have been appearing in recent RP's.... Writing a couple of characters is so much easier than a large group, let alone a fed. :p

Speaking of writing.... I have contemplated on starting up "Theron: Another Story" over in the Writing Gallery. A non-canonical tale of how the Shar Cult storyline would have gone down, as it's something I really did want to write but I abandoned that story after Kingdom Come when it stopped having to do with wrestling. It'd take place in a parallel dimension that has zero effect on the Theron here in my RP's. Kaleesta (both the one in RP's and the one in this world) is the only one who would be aware of the other world's existence due to her prayer chamber's Tardis-like capabilities.

Anyway, that may or may not happen down the line. Lack of having the time for it being 90% of the reason it isn't a thing yet.

I'm surprised that many here haven't taken advantage of posting over in The Writing Gallery. Like seriously, it's a place to jot down whatever you have in mind.

I'd love to read a Sci-Fi or a Fantasy over there, so if you did a one-off thing with Theron, or hell even a lengthy origin story, you'd make me a happy man. Please do this.

Please do this. I've already said that I'd read it for sure. Plus, I think you were telling me a bit about it and it sounded really awesome.

Spidey, when Ramparte was a child, what did he like doing? Reading? If so, what children's book was his favorite?

Also, I always wondered how old everyone's characters were. So how old is Ramparte right now? On the topic of age, should that be something that is cleared up in the fed? I feel like guys like Ty Burna and Consty would be up there in their mid-thirties or something.

It wouldn't be an origin although it'd have flashbacks and stuff featuring the companions he had before he became a gladiator/wrestler. Kirilah, Kaleesta, Sheshmish and all the rest would still play big roles. Just in a parallel dimension where Theron never became a gladiator/wrestler. It would start out on a similar path as how my RP's here did but then dive fully into the Shar Cult saga within the first few posts. Different point of views would be seen too. Sometimes it'd be a Kirilah chapter, maybe sometimes the villains would get a chapter. Heck, Elora was a popular NPC of mine but she may never return in my RP's. I have people outside the forum who are begging to read a closure on that at this point.


Please do this. I've already said that I'd read it for sure. Plus, I think you were telling me a bit about it and it sounded really awesome.

It's looking more like it's going to happen. With you, Spidey, a few people outside the forum who read all my RP's, and more showing interest in this I now feel more convinced to go through with it.

Maybe I'll do it as two threads over in that section. One for the tale itself and then a discussion topic. :)
