Update

[jediPREZ]

Gee, there hasn't been a note under this thread in 2 months. I figure, I'll just type and see where it goes from there.

So yeah, I'm updating web pages...like usual. Hope everyone liked today's update. http://nfw.fwrestling.com - in case you missed it.

Last week's card got two thumbs up from myself, if people started writing matches or highlights besides me, Lindsay and Gregg - who knows...maybe cards will get up faster than 2 weeks.

I guess that's the problem in this fed, everyone is so important in their other ones. With what's happened in EPW, now we've got two more fedheads here.

I'm sorry to report that Shawn Hart won't be staying with NFW, even though Ryan told me he would after his 'retirement' note. I emailed him about keeping his character here through the season, but didn't get a response. (shrug)

Also, it seems that JT won't be roleplaying Stratton anymore. He'll become an NPC from now on. So like all others, I suppose he'll be feared like the plague. Seriously though, he's not going anywhere and well, we'll see how we book him...but we do have plans for him.

What else?

Week 10...judging by everything it'll be a lighter card than last week's with a few twists. The NFW East note and some silent recruiting on my end shall help that out. If anyone has time to help out with the card, I see it being out this week - but with CSWA15 around the corner and what that means for a bunch of us...I'll understand this week might not be the best week to ask. I'll just hope.

"Only a fool's hope" I know Steve...

As you saw, the NFW East join note is up. This is for real and not a joke at this point. With our plans for Season II coming up, hopefully the East will land us some talent for that crossover period when we come to it. Or who knows? 32 isn't a bad number, either.

Concerning the East and the playoffs, if there's enough interest in the East...we'll just expand the size of the playoffs. Neither the North or South will lose any spots. If there's no interest, then there's nothing to worry about...save Mike's self esteem.

Should be called Novel from Management, eh?

Since FWI and the Torch don't follow NFW too heavily, if anyone wants to write for the News site - I'm all ears on ideas.

Yeah, so that's about it for right now...

...I've got some ideas on if we want to speed up things around here, but that'd entail not RPing at all for a couple of cards. I know some of you are against such a notion, so I'll hold off on that discussion until its really needed.

Yep...

tis it, folks.

Peace.

Did you just call me a fool?

NFW East. I dunno, i liked The United Statesmen Of A Cleaner Living better.

The CSWA's not covered by the FWI either, don't despair.

Hopefully when the new Fwrestling launches we'll all be in for something cool.

About the NFW East....has it been explained exactly how this will work in terms of the rest of the season and the playoffs? I would think the purpose of creating a division would be to have Manson come out of the East as the #1 seed. My personal feeling is it's done, so plan on the East affecting the playoffs somehow. Two weeks from now to just pretend it never happened if X number don't join would be a waste. Manson coming out of the East himself would be cool. Just my two cents.

Re: speeding things up.

I wouldn't be in favor of not rp'ing for cards as that's what we're all here for.

There's still what...7 weeks left? 6? Go short form. Short short form. segments if people want them, but otherwise a paragraph or less. Just speaking for myself I'd be willing to sacrifice a couple cards as opposed to a couple weeks of role-playing. I know we all get off on cards and the feedback that comes from them, but if you're serious about cutting about a month or so off here, bite the bullet and go really short. We've had ample amount of good card writing and as Gregg said the other day, when it comes down the wire i'm sure it'll heat up again very nicely. But, for a couple weeks..I wouldn't mind if i just saw, "Melton defeats John Doe." or vice versa.

 

[jediPREZ]

Right on Steve. Good comments there.

You were calling me a fool in my notes.

It will really depend on who joins the North - right now, yeah it looks like just Manson is coming out. I mean, so far we've recruited something to fight the midget phenomenon of CSWA and get a perfect compliment to Shawn Hart.

Oh yeah, there's a rather reputable fed's Champ that just signed up too.

If I can, I'm gonna build it up as much as I can for the sake of Season II...that's the goal to shoot for, but not one I'm expecting to work out perfectly.

News coverage - I've talked with Chad about how it'll work on fwrestling.com. I don't know if he got offers for 'beat writers,' if he did - hopefully someone took NFW. If not, the system used will be just like CSWA's and NFW's...so we'll see what happens.

RE: your comments on the short-form, if more people agree with your sentiments, I'd do it...so we'll see if people speak up on the issure. I think I'll bring it up for discussion after Week 10 goes up.

Thanks for the comments, again.

i dont think the east will be ready for the loving its about to get

 

[Manson]

Rest assured, I've taken steps that the East will not be Manson versus himself every week. I know, I know, you were all excited. I can see that tear rolling down Jon's cheek, but there will be more than Manson's self-indulgence. Not much more, but more.

 

[Al!]

Dunno, I think Manson v. himself would be entertaining enough to carry 5-6 weeks.

Alternatively we can go for the old school midget versions of other existing NFW wrestlers going into East.

Mini Campbell v. Manson
Mini Deacon v. Manson
Mini Southern v. Manson..

That's just CLASSIC

That being the case, he might want to hit up Melton for advice on that matter.

Tom, do us all a favor...don't give Steve any ideas. k? k.

Geez, I just keep looking at the locations on some of the profiles.

I lived in Warwick up until this past September, and then I moved 10 minutes away right over the West Warwick line.

 

[Steve]

(jumps awake)

Huh? (yawn) Lindsay did you say something?

 

[QueenOfTheRing]

nice to see you've stopped hacking up a lung long enough to join us, Stevie :-*

 

[Steve]

Hehe you said hacking up

 

[eyoung]

2 cents

She did say hacking up

OK I have no seniority and very little credibility, but if my vote means anything I would go for short form cards anyday over cards without RP.

Re: 2 cents

What is this sudden facination with the phrase "hacking up"? I know Steve is easily amused, but Eddy...I expected more from you.

OK I have no seniority and very little credibility,

mmmmm that's a lie...

but if my vote means anything

of course it does

I would go for short form cards anyday over cards without RP.

I must say I agree with this.

 

[TSiegel]

Indeed.
