I like the belts. Like Ben I have also decided not to RP for Sprint at the Spot. I don't feel I would win anyways and am looking forward to the Elite X title match, cos I reckon that belt is cramping Ben a little and needs a new home.

(That's what the PM was about Ricky but I do want to ask something else.)

So IMO, the sooner we get to the PPV, the better for me.

 

[Derf]

I can see where GM and Ben are coming from with not wanting to RP because of other storys, but I think everyone should take a crack at it. I mean, we're all trying to win, but how many of us actually think we can? I don't think I'll win, but I RP'ed my ass off anyways. I'm not saying it'll look bad for you if you don't, but you should give it a crack. Keep the RP skills up there. Espesially Ben, only because if you don't RP, it'll be two shows in a row you'll miss, which is probably not a good thing considering your recent addition to Dynasty.

On the contrary, it's good to see so many newer members giving this a shot. Carmen and Shock, both awesome Debut RPs. I won't go into to much detail here (saving it for Feedback) but I can tell your both going places here in WZ. Plus, with all the hype with Carmen, I really want to see what he can do in a one on one match-up. His promos leading up to his RP fit perfectly with the scene, but I really want to see how he does in a singles match, know what I mean?

Speaking of Feedback, know it's early to annouce it, but I'll be leaving saturday morning to go "home" for the long weekend, so my feedback will be late for once. And you'll all be recieving a nice treat from me: 4 days without me. Hahaha.

Good RP's so far, looking forward to reading more good RP's, and can't wait to see how this show goes.

 

[Shock]

Thank you Derf. Ricky, that I understand now. However, I do not see titles belts anywhere. If someone has the pictures, please PM them to me.

I had the title belts, but I recently deleted them, as the pic I was using em for (the champions history) was never used. I could probably find those same pics if you wanted to fancy them up, make ctual nice pics of the belts.

Also, a huge hanks for the awesome new sig. Great job. People, rep this man.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I would like to apologize for not RPing. I've been busy recently with midterms and work I just didn't have the time. This won't happen again.

 

[michigan]

This is for creative. I was just wondering who I might speak to about Everest getting an interview segment on the Sprint for the spot card. I sent out a pm but got no response. Just let me know when you can. I appreciate it. Thanks again.

Everest

 

[Lee]

Just an idea as well, I know initially when the fed was set up there were two recruitment drives;

1) was to get characters/wrestlers into the show, and that worked.

It's number two that I think could help a lot of strain;

2) For writers of the show...as people who write in the book this section, they like writing shows and matches, I'm sure they'd love to help WZCW.

 

[Derf]

I know things between me and the fed have been bad, but as of right now, I plan on not being as annoying and bugging people about the show. I'm not saying I'll never do it again, because I tend to not be able to keep eve the simplest promises, but as of right now, and since the last show, I've looked at alot of things in both this e-fed, and other e-feds. So instead of complaining, I'm offering to help. I know Will and Iscy can't work at their bests right now, and the next card only has one match on it, so obviously I can't write that match. But if there is anything else needed, like a promo or something, just lemme know. I'll do the best I can to help out if needed.

 

[The Enforcer]

Well hello my former peeps of WZCW. I was checking out the shows that have been posted since I was asked to leave creative. Not too bad. I see the delay in shows is still a factor but I am sure that staff is trying their hardest to get stuff done in a timely manner. I just wanted to drop in and say I am proud that people are still supporting WZCW. As one of the guys who helped keep this thing alive, its good to see people still care for it

Your actually done? I though you just had computer problems. But if you are really gone, I for one will miss you, as I'd really like to see your charecter compete more as a chaser then as a champion, just to see what else he can bring to the table.

I have a question while I'm here. I know we are not alloud to use other people in our RPs without permision, and I assume their managers are the same. But what about former members, or a current members former manager (like Alfie for Carmen, or Josh for me, yes, I ditched my cameraman). I have an RP idea in mind, but it involves a formr on-screen charecter. Would I have to ask that person for permission?

 

[Derf]

Sorry for the double post, but I was just randomly surfing the inernet, and I came across somthing. Anyone remember a few months ago when we lost a bunch of members, as well as our title belts, we were in need of all new ones? Lookie what I found!

I don't know if you'r interested in using them anymore, but here they are just in case.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Derf, while I'm sure the Elite X "Champions" and the Mayhem "Chmapion" appreciate it, the belts are fine in their current state. Tis the end of that talk.

 

[Lee]

And as I also noted, is there any need for four belts with such a small roster?

My idea would be to merge the two midcard titles so you have the main belt, midcard and tag. Even though there's not much of a tag division, this could be used to push people in a way. Now what I mean by that is that with the tag belts, people could have rp experience being a champ and working with someone else as well as against 2 other people, it gives a greater range for scope and depth, so I feel that tag belts are important.

(NB just throwing the idea out there...keep up te good work fellas)

Merging the midcard titles, eh?....

Everest, I'm down with it if you are. This is actually the most logical way for us to even have a match right now. And I like it.

Also, you're done Enforcer? Well, there goes all of my in-character support. Don't worry, I'll be Myles's new favorite .

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Guys,

I know I've said this a billion times before, and each time you've been cooperative...but I've taken steps to shake things up tonight. You will know more as it develops. But as you know, the fed will not survive at the rate it is currently running. Let us hope that these undertakings will reflect positively on this fed's future.

Your Humble Leader,

Cap'n Ricky

 

[Shock]

@Derf: Eh, I like the others better. I have pics of them, so it's okay.

@Ricky: Yes. Shaking things up.

@Anyone who will listen: Please guys. We need members. People need to RP, it would be nice. Now as for WZCW itself, I have taken it upon myself to once again make graphics. This time, a WZCW logo and a new Meltdown logo.

 

[Lee]

OK Shock, I admire your hard work and effort, but the meltdown logo just looks horrid. The colouring at the back with the typeface is terrible, and the radiation logo in the middle makes it look like some background from 1995.

As to people RPing, obviously people are busy and what not, if people are on the card then that's cool, a few people said why they wouldn't RP the sprint (ie mid card champs) and that's fair too.

You just gotta see the direction Ricky is taking these shakes.

 

[a0161613]

The belts don't need to be merged. We have plenty of people if they all RP.

And ben, you talk like you're keeping the belt after the PPV.....erm......nope, not gonna happen!

 

[Derf]

So me and Shock were just talking on MSN, and we realized that a few shows ago, we stopped using the Meltdown Video we had, I'm assuming because it became very out of date. Now, what we were thinking, is I can make a new video. It would be very low quality, but the music would be clearer then the last, and I can work with Shock to make it look the best it possibly can. What we were wondering is 1) Should we even do it, and 2) Do we use a new song? Paralyzer is old and boring now lol.

Just a though.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Derf,

Y'all can make one if you want. I just don't know if it's worth it. I stopped putting videos into the show for the listed reasons:

A) They suck.
B) Don't know where they are.
C) There comes a point where things need to be left to imagination.

I like having images and stuff (obviously), mainly because we can manipulate those to fit WZCW...with videos, it's often just a WWE highlight reel with some text thrown in. You know what I mean?

Things are beginning to progress on the shake up. More news later.

I can see your point, makes sence. My video was going to be awful, but it would have been updated from the old one, which is why I offered. When I was thinking about it, I did't even realize we never used the old video anymore.

And I for one can't wait to see what this "Shake up" is going to be like.

WZCW Idea's...

Custom Title: I've noticed we have 3 singles titles... does every title have the same rules? If we had a custom title the wrestler could change the name of the title and the stipulations of the matches in which the title is defended in. This woud make the writers life a little easier and give a little more interactivity within the fed

More use of the WZCW.Com Forum - Make it as fast and as diverse as a proper wrestling site. it can be used in such a way that poeple will WANT to click in to the WZCW.com forum to see the latest rumours - they can be totally made up, it doesn't matter - include fake injuries, fake backstage heat story's anything to get activity in this forum up. all people see is us posting in the same topic and they skip past it

Have a weekly show that isn't wrestling based (Think "The Ross Report") Where rumours are answered, fake news on whats going on around the fed, include an interview every week with a different wreslter - Do the interview in charicter over IM - that way the interview is completely unscripted..

ah damn, I've got more but the missus has just got in - I'll add them later

I agree, kinda. I told Ricky of an idea earier today, maybe he'll use it, maybe not. Who knows, but IMO it would work better with he Mayhem title.

I agree once again. A few months back, I was going to offer to do this myself as a non mod, as the mods had more important things goingon, like the shows. If one of the mods had the extra time, I think this could be a good idea, as the few times th site is updated, it always gets a few hits here in the discussion thread.

I think this ties in with the website, but one of the feature on the site could easily be sit down interviews, where once between shows they have a guest (or more) do an interview. The IM thing is also a really good idea. Someone on staff could play the role of the interviewer, while the other person could talk on MSN or something in charecter.

Which reminds me of another idea. It was though of a while ago, and shot down. But I honestly think it should be though about a little more. We have our discussion thread, but what about an "In Charecter Discussion thread"? We had a "Dynasty Locker Room" and "Chuck Myles Office" a while ago, and those looked to get popular. I think if we had something like that, but backstage, it could help create conversation with everyone in charecter, and it might even start a few rivalrys with all the trash talking going on. Just a though.

 

[Bentallica]

And ben, you talk like you're keeping the belt after the PPV.....erm......nope, not gonna happen!

And why are you so sure? For all you know, I might have been using all of this down time to concoct (sp?) one monster of an RP. We'll see when it's all said and done.

Plus, I think you're forgetting about your "pal" Murf!sh .

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

These are all great ideas, and continue to discuss them...by all means. However, keep in mind a sense of reality. My number one concern for this place is to get so shows are coming out on a regular basis again. Once that is achieved, if the desire for such things remains, it can be revisited.
