That does have to be a hell of a thing to overcome as a tag team though in all seriousness. Having a partner on the other side of the world and all.

BEAST MODE, MOTHERFUCKERS
I'm most definatly not a last minute writer. I still have a habit sometimes of wanting to post up my RP like 2 days after the boards go up. The first RP I wrote I think I put up the day the boards went up. Unsurprisingly, I lost.
EDIT: I just went back and read my first RP. God DAMN it was horrible. But, I'm the only one in that match that's still in WZCW.
EDIT number 2: As a matter of fact, I'm the only one that was on AF 8 that's still here.

The longer you look at your RP, the longer you have to refine it. By that same token, it's also just more time to nitpick. I usually get mine up the day of the deadline or the day before, but I usually write it about a day in advance. It doesn't matter to me when an opponent posts their RP, either. I don't read it until after I post mine, anyway. Although, I've had somebody respond to my RP in their's before, and it annoyed the fuck out of me.
I'm definitely the last minute writer of my team. I just work better that way and it gives me maximum time to really think of what I want to do. That way when I actually get down to it I get it done fast and I know more or less exactly what I want to do since I've been planning it all cycle.
Also, everyone, check out the "What could have been..." and the theme song threads in the Backstage section! Both could really lead to some good discussions, hopefully.

I did that once. It didn't work out too well. Ask Pancake what he said about it.

Same here. Plus, I was a journalism major so I don't mind waiting until 2 hours before a deadline to start writing

Replying is soooooo cheap. I mean, if you briefly reply to an insult or something like that, it's not too bad, but using your entire RP to respond is stupid.

Half of Arashi's RP two rounds ago was a response to something my NPC said.

This is pretty much how I write mine too, though recently the actual writing of my RP's has happened on deadline day. I do try and write my RP's earlier, but it just doesn't seem to happen that way. Might explain why my RP's have seemed a bit erratic recently.
I think I've been guilty when I started of replying to RP's. It is cheap, and I'll only reference an opponents RP if I think it actually furthers X's story (X's response to Overlast's disparaging remarks about him a few rounds ago, for example.) But I wouldn't spend an entire RP as a response to someone else's work.

I usually think up ideas then when I start writing I build up on ideas and go from there.

I'm a last minute writer. I usually don't have time to write until like Monday night but I usually put it off until a few hours before the deadline lol. I do think about the basic idea of my RP during the week though.
Yeah, the way to do it is tell a story, and not bother about cutting a promo.
Wait, I'm fairly sure that's terrible advise.

Hey, it's worked for me. I think if you can connect the story somehow to the situation, that's how you really hit the balance.
Eh, I'm just ignoring the balance and getting to where I need to be plot-wise. Like in my next RP I'm not planning to talk about Ace at all. In fact, it takes place a couple of hours after my previous RP (i.e. before he's even faced SHIT) up until the very end (where there's a time skip to just before the Apocalypse match). Connor already cut his promo against Ace in the last RP, after all.

Yeah you have to find the balance, but cutting your promo is essential in my opinion. Back when Strikeforce faced Saxoteur for the first time, you wrote a pretty funny and entertaining RP, but not once did you mention us, and you guys lost in turn. Then you have had our number since....except in singles competition.
Very true. I think sometimes with the voting going from RP-to-RP can ignore the importance of a big picture. i point to my first RP against Alex Bowen for the Mayhem Championship for an example - Saxton had already said everything he could about Bowen in the RP previous, so to show Bowen he was serious and had been training, he demolished a chair. The implication being, of course, that Bowen would be demolished.
I really liked both my PPV RPs against Bowen, really. Nothing quite like taking a spool of barbed wire out on a date to the sounds of smooth jazz.
