I'm surprised people actually had the lack of self-awareness to actually come back and vouch for themselves. Like c'mon, the obvious play is to just get somebody else to post your credentials for you. Learn to politicize.

If someone were to do it now, I'd come back to vouch for getting my name off of it.

I demand my name be lit up in lights! For my commitment to a "for fun" past time hobby, that is generally considered dead.....

If someone were to do it now, I'd come back to vouch for getting my name off of it. You'd be my first pick though..... My two cents on the whole thing since I'm a lot like X-Pac, meaning I was there xDDD I was in support of Brennan and Rich's plan. I liked their approach of having a "committee", a criteria in place so a preferred writer wouldn't just be able to get in because Owner 246-B liked said writer. That's how the Baseball Hall of Fame works and it's a universally respected thing. One thing that EVERYONE never failed to make me aware of when I took the reins was that there has ALWAYS been a hint of favoritism here. Whether it be from the owners to certain writers or vice versa and that left a black cloud over the genuine nature of this place. I have personally never seen that during my time at the helm but I won't say that it's NEVER happened. I feel that as long as that cloud hovers above the WFWF name (something that I've done my absolute best to kill) a "true" Hall of Fame will never work because of that. Call me a conspiracy theorist. I'd be all for it if a workable solution presented itself because yeah, while this is a hobby some of you all have put in YEARS - that's a sign of dedication and commitment and I think that type of dedication should be acknowledged. Every so often, you hear of names from before that either had a legendary run or created something that was memorable and I think those kind of writers/characters deserve recognition. I'm open to any suggestions on how to properly assemble a Hall of Fame.

Yeah, I’ve always been in favor of having some sort of Hall of Fame and do think there can be a better way to do it. There were always some issues of . . . questionable people being in, but on the whole it’s a good way to do things. And if handled right with write ups and whatnot about the person, it can serve their time well and also be a good introduction to people to learn about them.

Every so often, you hear of names from before that either had a legendary run or created something that was memorable and I think those kind of writers/characters deserve recognition. I'm open to any suggestions on how to properly assemble a Hall of Fame. You're not wrong, and there's nothing conspiratorial about it. That was the whole crux behind my wanting to not just have a committee, but a committee comprised of people on complete opposite ends of the spectrum of opinion. For years, the HOF was filled up based upon the selections of whoever was deemed worthy by whoever was running the show at the time, which leads directly into a greater discussion of Thunder's point about the questionability of some names on the list. As I've gone blue in the face saying, even the most questionable of those names would have kept their "spot" with our plan. I'll never understand why that kept getting overlooked while my inbox got filled with complaints from folks I'd never spoken to prior to taking the helm here.That's not true...I understand exactly why it happened. I guess I'll just never not be a tiny bit miffed about it. As for my name being in the Hall of Fame...no one will ever convince me that putting The New Epoch in when they were barely a year deep was anything other than a "we need to have a group induction" pick. Kyzer and Drakz were already proper Hall of Famers/HOF Candidates in their own right (I still don't know who went in and when), and I was still the "new guy" in the group. It was akin to inducting Evolution while Orton was still carrying the Intercontinental title.

I actually only have one monologue left to write of my RP. I'm not sure I've ever been this ahead of schedule. Though I haven't yet read back anything I've written, so who knows maybe I'll have to rewrite the whole damn thing tomorrow.

Wrapping up the beast that has become the Penny RP. It's almost 2:00 AM on my end. Gonna try to blast through the chunk of it in the next few hours, so I can spend whatever's left of Easter Sunday editing it so I can upload it by deadline. Damn timezones!

That agony when you think you've had a great idea to include the spotify playlist for the match and your opponent's done it first.

Oh I won't! A decent chunk of it is music I know you like too. And I am doing it slightly differently anyway.

How's everyone else's writing coming along? It's going. To make things fun this show, my main RP consists of writing whatever comes to mind and trying to turn it into a cohesive story with little to no backspacing. The end result should be.....interesting xD
