I apologize that I've only gotten half my stuff in thus far, but I found out this week that I've got a big job opportunity that requires me to relocate by the end of the week, which is a massive pain in the ass as far as cancelling bills and moving stuff out etc. Regardless I've only got a few bits to finish off so I'll have my stuff in asap.

My next few RPs are gonna be whacky, but I'm excited for where I want to take it. You guys will hate it though. Just figured I'd warn you before you got all "disappointed" in me haha. Just thought I'd bring this post back up to those who read the microchip thing and laughed. The RPs I was talking about in this post will be starting this next show. It's going to be probably bad, but I wanna have fun with it.

My next RP will likely involve me watching the Kings and E3 press conferences. Because Yes.

So I read all of the RPs days ago, but in order to get the "big boys" done for the votes, I didn't reply to any of them except for Ace, because of the flack he was getting for the microchip thing he's gonna do, so I read them and then quickly moved onto the next so I could get the votes in. I'm gonna actually do the replies tomorrow. Haha.

So five years ago today the first ever show featuring Trace Demon was posted. On that day I beat Holy Silver in the opening of the House Show. How times have changed.

Well I just confirmed the card with Ace, so I'm gonna type up everything tomorrow after work. As far as I am aware, no one requested any specific opponents this week...but the card looks incredibly fun if I may say so myself. It's not necessarily stacked or anything...but there are two matches in particular that have the potential to be pretty epic. Haha.

Hey. It's up. I think, even with people needing/wanting the show off, the card still looks pretty decent I'd say.

I feel like King Kraig did when everyone stole his Calvin Lee's Burning Hammer as a finisher

I feel like King Kraig did when everyone stole his Calvin Lee's Burning Hammer as a finisher I had the finisher before he joined up here. Calvin ripped me off.

Glad to see how many people decided to do predictions. Here are the standings after the first week:
Michael Kyzer: 6 Trace Demon: 6 Cam Nitta: 5 Mak Cross: 5 Drake Elias: 4 Raider: 4 Ace Bennett: 4 Phillip Schneider: 4 Alexis Chavente: 2
And my predictions for this show:
Jackson/Thunder vs. Ace/Raider: I'll say good luck to all involved. I'm hoping for my second taste of gold here for sure though.
Elias/Schneider: I'm going to go with Schneider here. I think he'll try to bring something out after the loss. Elias will definitely make it interesting though.
Brown/Chavente: Tough one, because both of their stuff is very good. Hate to bet against Chavente here again, but Hutton off of a week off is sure to bring something awesome. I doubt he wants his character to lose momentum going into his big championship match.
Sabat/Fowler: Both look promising, but Sabat has been awesome. Going to go with him here.
Trace/Slanted: Trace continues to amaze me with his work, which is arguable the best around right now. Sorry Slanted, but I think his bad luck continues.
Stone/Bishop: I'm going to go upset here. I remember teaming with David Williams back when I first started, and always being a big fan of his stuff. The Bishop character is sure to be great. Stone is one to watch also, but I'm going with Bishop.
Battle Royal: Umm, I'm going to go with one of the new guys here, since I doubt any of the older people will show here, which is sad because Pain and Jasmine especially were intriguing. I'll go with Brandon Napalm, just because goose is a great writer on the sims board and it could very well translate well over here.

Jackson/Thunder vs. Ace/Raider: I think we're going to have new champs, but I won't officially pick myself.
Elias/Schneider: I think this will be close, but Schneider is going to try his best to make sure he wins this so I am going to go with him.
Brown/Chavente: I think after being off a week, Brown will come back with some great stuff and beat Alexis, giving her her first loss and him the momentum heading into SOTF.
Sabat/Fowler: Another close match up, but I think Sabat will pick up the win here.
Trace/Slanted: Sucks for Slanted to continue on the losing streak, but as Ace said, Trace is on top of his game at the moment.
Stone/Bishop: I haven't seen anything from Bishop other than he was 5-1 when he was here before. I think there could be rust, so I will give it to Stone hoping that he steps his game up for this match.
Battle Royal: I'm going to guess it will come down to Carter and Naplam and go with Stephen Carter, seeing as the others haven't RP'd in a while.

Ripp Jackson & Thunder vs. Ace Bennett & Raider: Not necessarily for the right reasons. That's not to say Bennett & Raider aren't going to bring their A game - they always do, but Ripp Jackson does as well. It's just unfortunate that he's going to carry the team, and that 2 v. 1 rarely works out in the 1's favor.
Drake Elias vs. Phillip Schneider: I know that Elias the writer is particularly looking forward to this match, given his off-character interactions with Schneider the writer. Given that, I'm expecting a flurry of class act material from Elias, and hey, everyone likes an upset.
Hutton Brown vs. Alexis Chevante: I may be calling this one on the worst possible merit, but other than his less than remarkable return at the last PPV, I keep forgetting that Hutton is back. That's not a knock at his work, but more that he's probably the biggest name casual player here: shows regularly, with little more interaction than that. Also, see above, re: upsets.
Daniel Sabat vs. Stephen Fowler: I dunno, why not?
Trace Demon vs. Slanted: Not for nothing, Slanted's work is spot on (even though I hate the character), but at the rate he's going, I see his first win being a bigger upset than a throwaway match on Loaded.
Cameron Stone vs. Joe Bishop: ...because, well, I dunno.
Stephen Carter vs. Brandon Napalm vs. Dashing R. vs. Jasmine vs. Bill Kidwell vs. Pain: Carter and Napalm should be facing each other to give them each a chance to not show before being tossed in what essentially looks to be the losers bracket people who've made their characters into one or two (or no) pump chumps. Carter clearly wants to be here - he's even got a character graphic. Would have booked this one differently.

Jackson/Thunder (May be a longshot, but I'm going for the off chance they pull it off, and I'm the only one who guessed it)
Drake Elias
Hutton Brown
Daniel Sabat
Trace Demon (Sims board alumni represent)
Stephen Carter

Ripp Jackson & Thunder vs. Ace Bennett & Raider: Knowing what I do about this match I have a feeling that this prediction isn't going to matter that much. Still, while I would love to give the vote to Ripp and Thunder, because of my history with both of them, Thunder may as well have not turned up for a while now. I hope he shocks us all this week but I just don't see it coming.
Drake Elias vs. Phillip Schneider: I'd really like to give my vote to Elias here, because I know he's going to bring his best for this one but I just can't look beyond Schneider. He's going to be pissed that I beat him last week and is probably going to go all out to put that loss behind him, and when Schneider brings his a-game he's hard to beat.
Hutton Brown vs. Alexis Chevante: I think this one is going to be a lot closer than some people will assume, but I'm basing this one solely on what we've got coming up. SotF is right around the corner and knowing Hutton from here and XWA I think he'll be bringing his a-game, and that seems hard to beat.
Daniel Sabat vs. Stephen Fowler: These two have both shown a lot of potential and with SotF just around the corner I really hope they step up their game and show what they can do. However I think Sabat edges it from what I've read thus far.
Trace Demon vs. Slanted: This Trace guy's been on a serious role as late, so he's got to be my favorite. In all seriousness I've been waiting for this one since Mike came back and can't wait to see what Mike pulls out.
Cameron Stone vs. Joe Bishop: I think this one is going to be close. There's a chance that there might be a bit of rust on Bishop's side, but then I also know that he is more than capable of pulling out some great stuff. I also know that Cam's a very capable writer who just needs to break through. On this occasion I'm going to hope that Bishop can still pull it out and give him the nod.
Stephen Carter vs. Brandon Napalm vs. Dashing R. vs. Jasmine vs. Bill Kidwell vs. Pain: This is essentially a pink slip battle royal right here which is always disappointing to see. I've got a feeling this one is going to come down to Carter and Napalm so I'm going to go with Carter.
