I personally don't care what kind of animosity anyone has against me for what I said before. I stated my opinion. If I think that the title change was in bad taste then thats what I meant. But again, I don't have anything against doing it... it was very nice of Staff to do that... but its just the year long reign... the title couldn't have switched hands before? Thats my beef with it. Countless opponents, and the title changes during an impromptu match against on of Rios' OOC friends... I don't wanna sound like an asshole when I say it, but did anyone even think about what kind of picture that painted? Seriously...
Final Thoughts: This is the last time I'm going to address this situation, and I kindly want everyone to take notice.
Its the last thing that will (or should) be said.. and any further address on this situation, without prior approval, will be met with being deleted.. and could result in an infraction, for disobeying the rules.
D.C., to answer your question.. no, noone thought or assumed that the situation regarding Disasterpiece winning and losing the World Championship would cause this many people to throw a tantrum. I'm sorry to make it sound like you're all acting like babies, but the truth is.. you are.
We on creative tried putting together a surprise, not just for DP, but for the entire e-fed as a whole.
WE thought it was going to be received with a collective group of thanks, and taken as a great show of respect. Instead, all we've truly got in return is a lot of people complaining merely because it wasn't
them being the guy who was the first to defeat the Champion.
Look, I'll even admit the storyline situation regarding Joseph Rios (not Enforcer, but his character) went too far with him holding the Championship. Thats agreed upon and accepted. However, for people to throw a fit over us playing out a storyline, for the overall product of the e-fed, to attempt making the show unique, fun, and enjoyable.. it was met with a huge failure.. all because people throw tantrums, again, all because they see it as creative passing the top Championship around to who they want it to go to.
Which is utterly and simply B.S. If thats the theory you wish to use, then so be it.. but don't attempt spreading rumors of those kind around.. for everyone else to become naive in thinking they're true.
D.C., everything I've said regarding you is what I've felt to be the truth. And I'd fight very hard to hopefully keep you as a member of this e-fed.. but I have to be truthfully honest, regardless of how great an Rper I see you as being.. you're one guy, and even if you as one guy cause a "downfall" of multiple others that follow you out the door (if you decide to leave) I'm no longer going to feel as if I need to give you or anyone else special treatment, just to make you happy.
When you signed up, when
everyone signed up to join this e-fed. You did it under the guidelines and rules of the e-fed. In there, I'm more than sure it explains that Creative will hold the best interest of the entire group. I can fully assure you, I am on creative and I have had nothing but the up-most respect for everyone and have worked my butt off trying to give each of you what you wanted. The only thing I ever asked in return, was to be capable of creating unique storylines, fun storylines, and an overall show that could be viewed as great.
But in return, all I get are complaints because of select things we do. While opinions are fine, and complaints are acceptable.. the moaning and continuous on-going over the situation that to me was handled and dealt with yesterday, is uncalled for..
That is why I'm asking for everything to be dropped. I've apologized to you & David both, respectfully. Furthermore, I felt that creative as a whole have already apologized for the DP storyline.. in which to be honest we shouldn't of had to, period.
In Closing: I'm tired of drama filling this e-fed. We've been threatened to be shut down on multiple occasions, because too many people get too serious and too blown up over situations. Its not worth it, and all this is.. is a mere storyline that went badly.
Did anyone on creative set-out to disrespect anyone else? Obviously not. Did anyone on creative intentionally hold down those we've seen as top talent? Hell no. Were miscommuications and misunderstandings made? Absolutely. Can we move on and overcome this? I feel we can.
But if you, (D.C.) or anyone else feel that this situation is just too much for you to handle.. then I'm sorry. But from this point on, a line clear and dark, will be drawn on how we handle these types of situations. Complaining is fine and we ask for what you feel is being done wrong. But what we don't ask for, is the disrespect in how its voiced to us. And within the passed couple of days, I've seen nothing but the people who've voiced being upset.. voice it in a disrespectful manner.
Come to us in private. Or be professional in explaining you felt the situation was done wrongly.. at which point, naturally, someone will ask what you mean. But do not blatantly come out and say we're
A.) Holding talent down. Or,
B.) Passing title(s) amongst creative, or creative's personal friends.
I'm through with this situation. If
ANYONE feels the need to complain, from now on do it in a private manner with Isy (as hes the talent relations guy now) or anyone else on creative you feel you can come to. Either way, the situation would likely make its way back to all members of creative if its a major situation.
"I" will personally promise each of you that I won't lie, or hide anything from you. I would hope all of you know how hard I work.. and you'd take that as a sign of respect from myself to each of you that I only intentionally have each of your best interests at heart, as far as this e-fed goes.
So one last time, one final time.. please.. drop the situation, and lets all move on.
