FIRST can I just say this is only my view, not the view of all of creative.
No worries, I enjoyed doing it. I hope i can do it regularly in the future.
Okay, here is my critique of the Lethal Lottery:
Positives first.
The Lethal Lottery match ( and the matches before it) were VERY well written and laid out. Will deserves a lot of credit. While i have objections with GM's part in the match (see below), i thought it told its' stories well.
Also, Maxx, Celeste and Aurelia and Gus all going over was was the right decision. The timing was right and the RPs were good enough to justify it.
I have to say that for me the most impressive thing about the Lethal Lottery match was the use of Manzo as a weapon of mass jobber destruction. It is only right that those who cannot be bothered to contribute are treated as platforms to build on for those who are.
I agree with everything here, especially the references to Manzo as it really helped put him over even further as a dominant, unstoppable force. Gus and Maxx both deserve those titles, and Will did do a hell of alot of work with that match.
And now the negatives...
I dont mean for this to be longer but it is just the way that it is going to be I'm afraid.
Everest not winning was a bad call. And through yet another screwy Dynasty ending too. Comparisons to HHH 2003-04 in my eyes are justified. Sad but true because the timing was perfect.
I must say a part of me agrees here, as Everest has put out exceedingly great Roleplays every shot he's had, and in many ways he should indeed be our World Champion. However, with that said many people have been looking for the evident break up of Dynasty for a while now, in order to free up not only the World Title but the rest of the Gold. I personally think Everest should of been World Champion previously, but heading into our 'wrestlemania' event, a possible Will vs Rios match might be even bigger. Who knows.
This is probably the bit that I am personally most annoyed at.
I know Grand Mystique looks like Rey but I can't believe how he has been used in the past couple of weeks. In the last Meltdown match, he was doing top rope leg drops etc and in the biggest WZCW match yet, he has two moves before he gets eliminated; a 619 and a hurracanrana!
It is not the way i was eliminated that is really getting on my tits here (though it does bug me) but I have to believe that my RP deserved a lot better than that!
It is hard to swallow that I honestly reckon GM got treated like a bit of a jobber here. I could understand if some sort of future program came out of it but nothing of the sort has happened here. As such, it feels to me (and i dont know how anyone else feels) that stories are being out in advance (which i approve of) regardless of the RP quality being submitted (which i do not like at all.)
I'd be annoyed to if I was you. I agree that, looking at your moveset and character description, why you're bouncing off of turnbuckles and flying through the air is beyond me. I wouldn't be bothered so much about the quick elimination, it's essentially the royal rumble and hell a few years back MAVEN eliminated the undertaker with a dropkick to the back. Even the best have been dumped unceremoniously out of that match, but with that said your moves in that match again are nothing like the character you described. It does need changing.
So....
I am going to PM someone, probably Will, with a program to push the hell out of GM. Not that i believe he (I) is better than anyone else but simply due to the fact that he is probably the only character without a regular fued at the moment.
If it all goes to plan then it will give GM (and the opponent) something to go for until Kingdom Come (and maybe beyond).
PM me. I'm back on creative and apart of the staff, and I'm more than happy to go through storylines and help fix the problems you're seeing with your character. I helped push Will when he first arrived if you need credentials of my creative ability
but seriously, let me know what the probs are and what you would like to see, who you like the look of feuding with, etc and I'll do what I can to help you.
Same goes for everyone else.
