The new coding is just finicky as a mother f*cker now. I finally got it back to the point that I can code as I go. I just has that tags have to be closed in reverse sequential order, but once I figured that out it took about two rps that I'm never going to use to get back in the swing.

Follow the coding formula I gave to the new guys forever ago. It's truly a godsend. Had my 80 page SuperBrawl RP coded in about 4 minutes, and your RPs were always coded nicely but nothing severely complex like Mike used to do. 80 page? Shawn REALLY wanted to go out on top: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/300359/superbrawl-rp-sleep

It used to be pretty routine around here. I think, largely, rps have been skewing a bit shorter again lately, but with the PPV up next followed by SuperBrawl in the next cycle, you won't be hurting for any spring reading material.

I'll read and reply to RPs asap but I've got a busy weekend ahead. I'm going back to the motherland (Yorkshire) on Thursday morning so I need to get as much done as I can on results before then because once I'm there I'll be out of action.
Friend's birthday/attending a wedding/booze/gig/meeting best friends to talk about their upcoming wedding etc etc etc.

He won't want to win on a technicality and he isn't THAT big of a toolbag so I imagine he'd give you his blessing. Just have something ready to post on the fly.

That wasn't even the longest RP of that show. I THINK Prophet of Ash had the longest. Keep in mind though it's all about quality, not quantity. Mine was that long, but there were only maybe one or two filler scenes. The rest was entirely about the match and how Malakai's state of health/mind was affected by it. That's actually how I won. I believe Rated R had the more well written piece, but mine rivaled his because he didn't nearly focus as much on the matter at hand, the match it self. I won in a clean sweep, but that's the only reason. We were comparable but I focused more on the match, Trace focused more on Trace and his outside business. It's one of those coin flip decisions I was glad I didn't have to make because I was involved.

(Off the Rails and Samantha's Story, for the archivists so inclined). Samantha's Story was the climax of Samantha's reject of her father and his poor parenting, which ran side by side with Off the Rails, Phillip's own decline into madness.

Still peeved I never got to face you as your primary character with mine. One of my bigger regrets here.

Pages? I've no idea. But my RP against Prophet of Ash on that same card I think is still the longest RP I've ever written. Kind of needed to be though considering it was my first match back after over 15 months away from the fed with a "broken back" / travelling Asia and moving city.

I think we can all agree that an appropriate length rp is one that tells whatever story needed in a way that the reader isn't going to get bored halfway through. The longest rp I've written for WFWF was I believe Myth of Sisyphus, which was around the 30 page mark. That was against Schneider, and the logic behind it was that an opponent of his caliber deserved a strong outing, not only in length but quality.
The big thing all of the vets are saying can be summed up like this: Make every word count. If you don't think it serves a purpose to the story, then scrap it and use it for another time that's more fitting. There's nothing wrong with setting yourself up for future work, and in fact it's a great way to ensure you always have material.

Kind of needed to be though considering it was my first match back after over 15 months away from the fed with a "broken back" / travelling Asia and moving city. Likewise, it was my first in over a year. Told the story of why I left, why I was back, and what happened to all the moving parts that sort of disappeared when I did.

Well if @doobie2650 doesn't mind since he's the only one who showed, he might give you till about midnight. He won't want to win on a technicality and he isn't THAT big of a toolbag so I imagine he'd give you his blessing. Just have something ready to post on the fly. Im done with the RP. No response with Doobie. Can I post it? Might as well. @doobie2650 will get the say if it counts or not though since it's just you and him and the owners won't care if Doobie says yes.

I'm out with the family and it's on my home computer so I post it. I'm hoping Doobie won't take the easy win on this one..

When you're writing: <Put these things around any description.> LLLBD: When you're talking, make it so all people who talk throughout the RP are uniform. Don't say Patrick: for one part then Pat: for another, one or the other. Then it's a simple copy/paste job into Notepad. Put the entire RP in Notepad (do the <> as you go) and go to edit, replace, then replace all < with the beginning code and > with the ending code, and with names replace LLLBD: with beginningcodeLLLBD:endingcode and that's literally it. That's how you code 80 pages in under four minutes.
