I call being the sorta-friend who keeps crashing on your couch and you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try.

Now that Jizzelle is gone there's no one else to do it.

[quote="Tatyina":3g2tmdqk]We have been having a discussion recently about some things concerning Tension and thought of a way to possibly boost interest in it as well as separate it a bit more from Friction.

Bluemouse brought up an idea like this during a chat one day. Kel had had some similar thoughts and after some back and forth, we helped to put together what we think will be a fun idea for Tension.

We're calling it Duos right now and it works like this:

Girls and guys get paired together in Tension. It's a team but it's not a tag team. It's more like a team of individuals. It makes it so that a girl and a guy can fight or rival with whoever they like and always have a m/f match up.

The two will be like placeholders for one another. If, for example, there is a tournament and a guy would be pit against another guy, then his duo would wrestle instead. She'd wrestle the guy and if she won, then the guy would advance and face the next opponent (if it's a girl)

If a girl has a title and a girl wants to challenge, then the challenger would fight the guy. If the guy won, then the girl of the duo would still retain the title.

Everything an individual accomplishes in a duo belongs to the individual. If a guy was put up in a championship match for his female duo and won, then left the duo, the female would still be champ.

It's almost impossible to really get anywhere in Tension because if a single guy or girl tries to move up in the ranks, then they will almost inevitably be waiting until the right female or male is around to be able to challenge or feud with. If a member has a female character they will be waiting until there's a male champ. If there is a female champ, then they will only get to fight males until they lose their title.

Having said all that, we feel like it will definitely bring a lot more drama to the table. A REAL chance for people to start REAL storylines in Tension and hopefully have a lot of fun with it. The idea is done with having two different members each controlling a member of the duo and not just pairing up your own characters. It could be lovers that duo. It could be friends, it could be rivals looking to gain something off their partner.

In Character, duo's would be something that would be put in place by management, something that would be enforced with the OOC idea of creating storyline romance, friendship, rivalry, hatred... etc between wrestlers.

Any thoughts? questions? comments? Does it sound intriguing? stupid? exciting? Please tell us if you think this might be a good idea to help spark some more interest in Tension! Thank you ^ ^

I have not taken part in the discussion so far, but this is what I think:
1) I like the DUO idea overall. Even if I have not developed lots of storylines during my Tension activity so far, I'd gladly try this chance to built more of a background roleplaying to my matches. Besides, it would increase everybody's chances to find Tension females available for a match (including MY female characters ;p).
2) The pairing of Tension wresters in duos should be not mandatory, but an opportunity (sort of subforum-like maybe?), for a simple reason: Members often go on hiatus or get temporarily bored with the rping, sometimes for long periods, and we should make sure that it won't affect the other member of the duo in any way (I don't know if I made my point clear here).
3) Maybe we might allow members the possibility to use Friction characters for the duos, if they want.

As someone who both goes on hiatus and is somewhat interested in this whole duo idea, I second what Ryu's bit about it not being mandatory.

I have a dude character in the works who will hopefully be preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty cool (if I can ever find a darn picture of the character I'm after in the right style), but I have terrible habit of fwooshing away for long periods of time.

I think the whole point Tat is trying to get across is that they want Tension to not be helped up by Friction characters out of pity. They want it to flourish into it's own brand.

Heeeeeey...its....its....its BRILLIANT! its one of those "Crazy enough" to actually work ideas <img src=

" title="Very Happy" />.Also, makes sense to keep everyone involve and still keep it m v f matches.
