JokerFC Mind moving this to Banter? Or anyone who can? This is gonna be one giant cluster and unfortunately we can't directly post to banter, something has to be moved there. I figured instead of starting it in my sports board and moving it, I could at least start it here so it can gain a dozen or so posts worth of traction so people can see how the game is played. And since its wrestling and this is our biggest wrestling board, figured it would work to plant the seeds for a fun game!
So I think everyone has either played in school, or maybe on the web somewhere, the Let's Make a Story game. It's kind of like the 1004 Moves of Jericho thread/Things That Live in Mike Knox's Beard thread in banter, but it's gonna tell a story instead of making a list. If you haven't, here is how it's played.
The first person starts out with a couple of lines to start a story. Then the next person to post picks up my story where I left it, and continues it for a few lines and then the person after them picks up and on we go till time's called.
Well since this is gonna go into banter, who needs a timer?
We all love wrestling. So how about we make the most insane show ever, from start to potentially never ending finish. I will open the show, and I will announce the first match. The next poster will begin the match by doing WHATEVER they feel is best/funniest/dumbest/weirdest to continue the match. Say I do the Intro and I book the first match as Andre the Giant vs. Hornswoggle. I'll stop there then whoever is next will start the match off with whatever moves and exchanges they want. You want Andre to be all serious and kill Hornswoggle? Do it. You want Hornswoggle to body press Andre? it, make it happen. You do a few lines, then the next person will continue from what you wrote and put their spin on it. Let's make a never ending show!
Here are the only rules for the game.
One, nothing that violates the TOS can happen in the matches for obvious reasons. This is for fun.
Two, don't get butthurt if your favorite wrestler is getting humiliated by one of the midgets Palmer Cannon brought in. Step up and redeem them.
Three, try to keep each match longer than two pages (40 posts) but under five (100). If we get to five, someone DOES have to end it so we can have new fun with different wrestlers. Whoever ends the match decides the combatants in the next match. Any match type goes. But PLEASE make your text bold when you're starting a new match so people can tell what's going on where. It's gonna be confusing and hectic as it is, need SOME kind of stability to avoid uncontainable chaos.
Four, to avoid arguments, He Who Shall Not Be Named From Canada will not be allowed to be in this never ending show. At all. Period. Not even a reference. It helps avoid what would certainly be fights.
Five, any match type, while remaining tactful to our younger members (preferably no gory death matches please) is a go.
Six, on top of any WWE wrestler, I truly mean any wrestler (except the one in rule 4) from any company. WWWF, WWF, WWE, ECW, New Japan, WCW, TNA, ROH etcetera. We'll have a limitless pool of people to use that way.
Seven, be somewhat tasteful. You wanna do something completely stupid, by all means, that's the point. But don't have Seth Rollins take a machete to John Cena's head and lob it off Walking Dead style. Doesn't really have to be realistic, but some tact and taste would be appreciated by all I'm sure.
Eight, please limit your posting time to five minutes in between posts to give others a chance to join in. If you jump the gun, it happens, but the point is for EVERYONE to have fun TOGETHER.
Nine, promos are welcomed and encouraged. You're also free to put in commentary wherever, and replace the commentary teams in between matches. Just keep track of this final rule.
Finally, there really is no length limit to how long your part of the matches can be, but keep in mind, this is supposed to be fun, so to keep it fun, it has to move fast. So it'll be first come, first serve with the posts. You write a two Word page segment of the match to respond to post number seven, by the time you post what SHOULD be number eight, it's already gonna be on post 18 so your writing's gonna be moot.
Keep it fresh. Keep it fun. Let's get this cluster going!
Stage: Generic Hipster Looking Arena and Promotion in Portlandia!
Michael Cole: Welcome everyone to the WrestlingFigs Longest Show Ever! I'm your host, Michael Cole.
Mike Tenay: I'm Mike Tenay, and I really don't know what I'm doing here.
Bruce Buffer: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FAAAAAALLLLLLL. The combatants will be...FINN BALOR VERSUS...TAAAAANAAAAAAKAAAAAA.
(Now the next post will do their entrances. Do them however you want. Then the next person either continues the entrances if only Balor comes out, or starts the match and off we go. You want a wrestler later in the show wrestling in a Vito dress, DO IT. Goal is to have fun and make the most ridiculous pro wrestling fanboy show come together as, well, ridiculous as possible while somehow keeping some kind of cohesion from post to post, making the best with what was given to you! Have fun, and enjoy the banter!)
