AFW Writing unison

Oh, ok, so it needs to be storyline based with accompanying threads for it to count as a "showcase" and thus count towards being considered for a title shot or basic match on a PPV.


That makes sense, and could serve to make the PPV events more meaningful and exciting knowing every match is the continuation or resolving of a storyline issue.

I'm not sure why I'm posting on here seeing as ill be ignored anyways but I'm a person that wants to try and get better at rp and reading everyone's rp i think ill be no where as good as them in fact when i read my brain almost fries form all that detail which is good for them since I am aiming for that and hopefully get there. however regarding the prediction matching i agree with Harrier a bit since I have had nothing but winged it matches. which are enjoyable for me cause it pushes me to think of a good response I in fact don't even care about wining at all if I lose I lose right?

take my last match which ended as a draw mind you but when i Rp with someone who gave me a huge wall of text my brain dies on me and I cant think of any good replys infact nothing comes to mind maybe it because I suck at rp but I just feel bad about it sometimes

showcase matchs would make me feel worst tho cause i would see how every ones rp is better then mine and i never gotten a story going either since everyone is busy with their matches and are to busy most. I'm kinda on the verge of just quiting as well but i don't because i really enjoy this site however i don't know much of anything and im almost 21 XD . ill have to ask what about us newer people im okay with anything but if title matches are going to be like that then i might never get one seeing how bad I am at rping

I'm going to give you some constructive advice right now, if that's okay.

Learn to use proper spelling and punctuation, and learn when to cut off a sentence. Learn to proofread what you write before hitting the 'Submit' button. That's seriously something you (And many others as I've mentioned many, many times before) should work on if you're going to stick around.

Thank you for your constructive advice and I'll try and work on what you said but English was never my best subject in school really but at least I'm trying okay

Although it surely helps for a good impression and performance when grammar and spelling are correct, grammar, spelling and punctation good = good writer is not entirely fitting. Most people can and will understand a word like people even if it reads poeple, the brain is actually quite good with comprehension in general. A thing that really disrupts my personal concentration is if someone does not use the third person in his posts or does a 2 line mechanical post post.

The showcased matches would not be there to make the less good writers feel like leeches that bug better writers into writing with them and drive them off, but to position you in line for a title belt or a storyline for a belt or a PPV.

When setting up the Four Corners match, dragonswill made his first promotion post and although not as detailed as the other posts, it was far from bad after some advise. You will never get people like dragonswill(I use you as an example because you brought it up, it's not you only and personally dude^^) in situations like that if you don't include them. When a person confesses that she can't think of something exciting, how about carrying and including them in a storyline?
I've made 2 promos with Ise. The first one was free for all, most of the top tier girls bit the unintentional hook, showed up ort at least send a PM and a big match was the result. But even after asking 2 times in the thread, not one of the midcard girls showed up. I don't know the reason but would like to know. No motivation? Fear of the big names cause they would own you? You sometimes get owned in wrestling and in discussions in general, not a big deal^^
The second one was more closed and included Alexandra(called out), daemongirl(set), Oathkeeper(set), KillerV(bodyguard), dragonswill(set), Thunderfox(set) and Tatyina by default(so to say). A match was the result too, but everyone except Angel would have been midcard, and nearly everyone I asked if they wanted to join quickly agreed. Not everyone has to be a major player in these promos, I also had a blast including KillerV with Monster Madness as the psycho bodyguard, but he was free to speak or not. A supporting wrestler is in no way a lesser wrestler than a maineventer for these purpose.

To make a long story short:
Most people can't spin a web of intriguing storyline on their own. More open promotions could be necessary to reach as many players as possible with the showcase idea.

The main concern I would have about the 'showcase' is that it relies on people taking the initiative to stand up and say “look at me, my writingâ€s awesome”. Whereas writers seem to be mainly a pretty coy bunch, unwilling to blow their own trumpets too much. I assume this is one of the reasons why the Friction Burn news feed didnâ€t catch on - people were reluctant or uninterested in sharing their Rps in a communal setting.

Donâ€t get me wrong, I would love some kind of showcase, and an easy way of accessing good quality, completed matches. Iâ€m just worried it would go the way of the news feed.

Maybe tying in these â€showcase†appearances to nomination for belt contendership would help, though. Acting a bit like the news feed, but making PPV appearances and other goodies dependent on a characterâ€s official â€media presence†over the last year. So there would be some incentive to share (and sensitive writer types can feel that the self-promotion is part of standard character development, rather than worrying that they‘re shamelessly whoring themselves out).

I just wonder if the lure of the PPVs will be enough to overcome the reluctance to self-promote...
