Well, perhaps we should develop a WFWF Board of Directors, who like...vote or something to decide who wins a double no-show. I don't know. Something needs to be done, though. I just think that if both no show, then the match just doesn't take place. But then that brings down the quality of the show. If that happens for numerous matches, then you have a PPV show with 3 matches. Plus, storylines suffer. So, I don't know. |

It's a waste of time, really.  |

Hypothetically speaking if I have a good track record of being on time do I get an automatic extension whenever I feel like it/need it?

Yeah, if neither guy RPs then neither deserves to win. There's really no way of a justifying why one guy should get the win when neither put in the time/effort.
But I think Trace and myself have decided on what to do for no shows, going into effect on the next show.

And we're still waiting on a few matches. Segments always help a show if people want to do some.

if you no show you lose... you should not award someone for no showing. Ever. if they both no show, the match should be canceled. And both parties will be punished. If they have a title they should be stripped. And if they don't they should be suspended. It's really as simple as that.

So I got my rp up and my internet is now 100% active. Plus, I feel like my rp is going to get ripped eight ways to sunday.
Also, I may have a promo to send you Thunder and Trace.

I've decided to stop RP'ing, sorry I should have told you alot earlier. I only joined here because I was bored and I had fun while it lasted. But really its not for me, ever since being called up it seems more like a chore. However I think that was because of the amount of shows if you lessen it, it would be so much easier and you might not even get no-shows. Anyway once again sorry for the inconvenience I have caused. Just have Roberts uttlery destroy me character, its what would have happened even if I did write a RP.

Hey guys, I'm new here, in fact so new I haven't even been booked yet but so far I'm seeing a lot of talk about no showing and RP extensions due to no showing... if I can offer a few thoughts in that respect because I've been fedding for several years and seen a lot of different style of fed maybe I could help in some way.
One thing that struck me is that the RP's here are messy. Really messy. I've never really liked the principle of having each person start a whole new thread to RP with. I just find it a little more difficult to follow than having a dedicated RP thread per show, in which everyone posts their RP's. This helps two things: 1.) Your E-Fed's forum stays a helluva lot neater. 2.) It encourages people to read each other's promos more. It helps everyone keep in touch with what's going on and thus... encourages responses. I just see a lot more togetherness in a fed this way. Also, if you were to do this it would leave your main forum free to be a proper OOC section rather than having a single thread for that purpose, which I have to be honest I found weird.
On the subject of a double no show, it depends entirely on the willingness of your match writers. If no one's going to put up their hand and write a kick ass double DQ, then scrap the match. If no one wants to write it then why waste energy even talking about it.
Honestly what are we talking here, an RP limit of 2 per show? And most people only get up 1?
1 promo per show. If you're having to put extensions on your deadlines just to get people to write 1 promo, you have to take a look at the way things are being organised.

As far as the whole one thread for each RP and people normally posting one RP, it's pretty much been that way for several years so I don't think that's going to change.
Since we are a part of a huge forum, we're not going to get even more OOC posts around here. We've even had our one OOC thread locked before for being "off-topic".
Obviously you're not a fan of the way the RPs are set up, but changing that isn't going to solve our problems. I started here in 03 and I don't think this place would still be around if the way the RP s were set up or people only doing one RP would be the cuase of its downfall.
So yeah, I don't like changing any of that.

I can't imagine anything that would probably be messier than a bunch of RPs with similar formatting put in one thread to where nobody would know what the hell they're looking at. Also, how would this help people replying to said RPs if nobody could even begin replying until after the deadline? Honestly what are we talking here, an RP limit of 2 per show? And most people only get up 1? 1 promo per show. If you're having to put extensions on your deadlines just to get people to write 1 promo, you have to take a look at the way things are being organised. There are no RP limits in the WFWF unless Thunder and Trace added them recently. More importantly, I havew to imagine you have nothing even closely resembling a life outside of your front door. People have work, school, friends, family, girlfriends, boyfriends and hobbies that have nothing to do with this e-fed. At the end of the day, this is just an e-fed. It's a bunch of people writing fake promos that never happened about a character that doesn't exist with the intention of defeating another promo that never happened about a character that doesn't exist. I think in the grand scheme of things, real life deserves a little more priority. |
