My predictions seeing as the deadline hasn't passed yet.
Phillip Schneider vs. Alexis Chavente
He's the champ.
Mak Cross vs. Yukio Blaze vs. David Brennan
He's the next champ.
Ace Bennett & Raider vs. Trace Demon & Scarlett Quinn
He just dethroned a champ.
EBR vs. Dan Bennett
He's technically still champ.
Drakz vs. Ripp Jackson
Got to back myself.
Cameron Stone (c) vs. Joe Bishop
Been looking strong.
Cam Nitta vs. Daniel Sabat
Looking for an upset.
Oscar Conrad Davidson vs. Leo Krause
Shot in the dark.

Hello, it's just Me!
I've definitely had an interest for doing this for quite some time but I just decided to start now. I thought it would also be a good way to learn some Japanese.

Very nice man. It's good to have someone new on here who seems very interested in being here and being a part of the WFWF and such. Haha.

Hey guys relatively new to trying the WFWF but I figured this would be a cool way to make use of my Tommy Staxx persona used so often

The good news is, with this show behind me, I can start writing my best man speech for my best friend's wedding, 'cause, y'know, the "deadline" is coming up fast (next Saturday), and I'm not exactly getting an extension.

So I came up with an idea regarding extensions and I ran it by Ace and he liked it so, we'll leave it up to you guys to decide and such.
Starting next show, we'll give everyone three personal extensions to keep. If at any time you need to burn one and such, you must PM me AND Ace about it at least 24 hours before the deadline of the show.
So what is a personal extension? It means you personally can have 24 hours extra to get your RP posted and we'll accept it. It is not a WFWF wide extension, but just for that person. We're giving everyone the same amount so that way, no one can say it's unfair because they'll have extensions that they may need too and such. If someone needs it, they should be allowed to have it without dragging back the entire WFWF. Delaying one match by 24 hours and such is better than a whole card and such.
Under this plan, you would have the opportunity to earn extensions back. Say you use one next show. If you can RP on time for two consecutive shows and such, you'll regain one of your lost extensions and such. However, if you use one, next show show on time and then use another one, your on time show is null and void and you've got to try to earn them back again and such.
And as for WFWF wide extensions, Ace and I reserve the right to grant one to the entire WFWF if either more than four people come to us asking for an extension on one show and such, or if by six PM EST on deadline day, less than half of the scheduled RPrs have RPd. So if the show has 20 people scheduled and come that time, only 9 people have showed, a WFWF wide extension will be granted at no extension cost to anyone, Ace and I or otherwise and such.
It's just a thought. You know, sh*t happens and people need them and I don't feel good about taking extensions away from people when they need them. But it's getting ridiculous, so I thought maybe a plan like this, or something similar and such could work and such. Haha.

I'm against this plan.. People really should just stop waiting until the last minute to write things. This just seems like it's going to make everything more complicated and secretive. This match, this match, and this match have an extension, but these two matches need to be here.
24 hours really doesn't change anything when it comes to writing. Either you can finish it and put out something good, or you can't. I've never written ANY roleplay in one day. Everything's written in 2-10 sittings. The difference is, I don't wait until a day before the deadline to start writing..

Well unfortunately not everyone writes, or is even able to write and such, their RPs weeks in advance like you and Brennan and such...I give y'all credit for being able to do that, but not everyone can. I can personally say my RPs are done in either one or two sittings of about six hours. But that's because I thrive under time constraints when it comes to writing. Maybe it's because I'm naturally a pushover, but the way I've thought of it as who are we as owners to say "oh, you had sh*t happen to you and need a little time? NO. I don't care that you broke your hand and can't type for long periods of time/that your uncle died/that you've barely been home because you've had to work double shifts/had finals and tried to do a nice thing and not leave the bookers in a funk missing someone. Write it by the deadline or ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) off." I didn't want to be that kind of owner. I didn't want to have that kind of attitude, despite the fact that I try to keep things running as smoothly as possible in the WFWF. It's not right, because I know myself that sh*t happens, and I'd rightfully be irked beyond belief if I was told, in a place that is supposed to be a place for writing recreation, that I can't have a little bit more time when I'm dedicating my time to writing RPs to help keep the place chugging along. Plus, again maybe it's just for me, but I can only write when I'm inspired. If I get inspired days before, then I would, but generally I sit and stew on ideas until one hits. I only wrapped up the idea of incorporating the convo with Mak and Cam into a "Who is Ripp" the day before the original deadline and such. Yeah, so my idea may be crap and have flaws. That's why I brought it up in here for debate and such. But we're open to ideas and such...I just can't justify, you know, never giving an extension again, especially to someone who needs it for whatever reason, even if it's just because they wait till the last minute and such. It may not be out of lazy or anything. It could be because of no time and such. Not everyone has the same method of writing, and I worry that one of these shows we'll say no extension and someone will leave because of the reason I said earlier and such. It's supposed to be fun, and if we start to become total hardasses about everything, the fun gets drained and such. That's just the way I'm thinking and such. Haha.

I'd say 1 extension.. and only after you've been with the federation for 6 months+. 3 is FAR too many, especially if they re-accumulate, and really won't help anything.

Look, sh*t happens. School starts up for me tomorrow. It hasn't for the past year, but who knows? I've got an online class this semester - maybe this is the one that trips me up here. Point is, regardless of how much or how little you put into this thing, in the scope of life, it's secondary. Life comes first for me, and always will. If I haven't started my roleplay, and my cost final just happens to be the same day as the deadline, well, f*ck "David Brennan", I'm acing that final. David Brennan is a fictional character and no matter how well or how consistently I write him, he's not going to get me places in life. If that day comes though, I'm not going to ask for the extension. I'll do you the courtesy of a post or a PM saying "Sorry guys, it's not happening this week" and I'll take the loss. That's what needs to happen around here. You wanna play? Play. Life's going to get in the way. Let it. Some days it's better to just go to bed than to stay up burning the midnight oil just so I can possibly, maybe win what boils down to little more than a fantasy wrestling match.
TLDR: No extensions, no bank system. It's a game. Play when you play, and lose when you can't. Won't ever, ever be the end of the world in the great scope of life.

Phillip Schneider may get me somewhere.. if Amazon co-operates and approves of payment methods.. I'm in the early stages of turning a lot of my writing since returning into an eBook, but I'm currently roadblocked, because Amazon keeps saying my social security number is invalid, which is nonsense.

I'm with SYE. It's a game and if anything more important comes up in my life than it just further validates that an e-fed is a first world problem.
That said, your plan for three extensions and a simple way to earn them back really enables people to leave it until the last minute. But again, game, so do what y'all gotta do.
A much bigger problem is that I'm still yet to be told who's on this apparently secret voting committee.

I honestly dont have much time to write rps. I usually write it one day and take a second look the next. Im not willing to give more time than that. Hell the main reason I am still here is as a favor to the owners so they have one more active person. I originally had told Horror i was done after SotF. It was supposed to be a very short run. As is I have no idea how long Ill be staying as writers block has been hitting me hard lately. Im here more to be a somewhat dependable guy. I think this was the second time in two years ive personally asked for an extension.

The secret voting comittee is Ace, Drakz, myself, Raider and Demon with Sabat, Schneider, Mak, Meg, Brennan and Nitta subbing in in no particular order when someone can't judge or we're got a few people in the same match, like the tag match and me and Drakz this show and such. Haha.
