WZCW Discussion Thread

I just read Haiku's feedback for Titus, and I just wanted to voice my disagreement with it. I see where Haiku is coming from when he say Titus isn't the "star" of the RP, but I think it's off base. If anything, Titus is more of a star in this RP than any character is in one of the 1st person narratives that have become so popular or the more traditional 3rd person RPs that people like Doc and myself stick to.

Titus is absolutely the focus of this RP, and that's driven home by the fact that one of the largest celebrity gossip media company things in the world is devoting so much time to Titus. Rather than assuming the reader cares about our characters–an assumption that is often incorrect–Lee shows us why we should care about Titus, and the answer is because so many other people do. TMZ isn't going to give three stories to Mel B or Adam Carrola or other C-listers; they're giving that type of screen time to A-listers.

The reason I'm defending this RP so valiantly is because I appreciated seeing something new. Most of us (myself included) usually write our RPs from the same perspective, be it first or third person, and after a while you run the risk of RPs starting to blend together. I see this TMZ RP in the same light as Ace Steven's now famous Twitter RP. It's a breath of fresh air in a world where people generally play it safe and stick to traditional RPs.

Bye Saxton :(

One more round to KC after this. Still not many confirmed matches.

Aside from the world title match what HAS been officially confirmed?

It'd be a cool idea to see a *SPOILER* thread on WZCW.com after each set of shows that lists things like updates to PPV Cards and has a few headlines from the shows. You could even link it to individual posts in the match threads.

I think it would help the folks who don't always have the time to read all of the shows from beginning to end.

I get this point, but at the end of the day, it's TMZ. To me, TMZ are massive attention ****es, who represent this idea of a journalism at its valley; just the dirt worst of society. Sure, they only bother the A-list, but I read it as though TMZ went to Titus, because he's the only one that's actually nice to them.

Were it something like Entertainment Tonight (with my sweet cherub, Maria
Menounos), or even 60 Minutes, I think it could work. But to me, the most interesting part of the RP was the Max interview, and everything else comes off unnecessary.

I guess I could have just played this, and not have to type so much

There has only been a couple of matches that have been actually confirmed. However, there have been a few that have been teased. I would say everyone should expect a much clearer look at the KC card once this round is over.
 
I have recently come to terms with the fact that I am absolutely horrible at leaving feedback. I'm trying to find a way to condense it down to something simple. That's why it has taken so long for me to post it. I've read Jacobs, Hunter, Zeus, Thriller, numbers, and slice. So it will be posted soon guys!

So really your problem comes with the fact that it's TMZ? That's fine, but I still think it means your point is off base. How is Maria Menunos standing next to Johnny Knoxville, asking him questions about Jackass 27 any worse than what TMZ does? The only difference between TMZ and Entertainment Tonight is that ET pretends that what they do is dignified whereas TMZ makes no attempt to hide the fact that they are paparazzi.

The difference, to me, is consent. Entertainment Tonight works to get an agreement with people to get interviews. TMZ just kind of pries.

Again, I think the idea can work. But if it's going to work, it'll be because of Titus, not TMZ
 
Jglass is my new favorite creative member....only because he is talking in my pokemon thread.

And here I was hoping it was because I'm so gosh darn charming. That and because I don't bullshit around when people are so audacious as to ask when a show will be up.

If I'm correct, there were no no-shows, right?

As far as I can tell so far there was only one no show this week.

You should hop on Skype. I have things to talk to you about.
