ATTN: Need everyone's feedback

[Hollywood]

If too many people are against this idea, then I will not go through with it.

Plan A: What I've thought about is having this place be a quasi-angle based fed. What that means is that we the bookers would pretty much decide the outcomes for the weekly shows(Onslaught and GNO). But if one person just really phoned it in, and the other was outstanding, then the outstanding RP would still win. Also, the motivation here would be that the people who RP'd more and who RP'd the best would get the better angles and title matches, and those who phoned it in would get less air time. We would also explain the outcomes, such as having someone keep their title by getting themselves disqualified or counted out would be an angle to help set up the big PPV match.

Speaking of PPVs... since that's where the payoff is, at PPVs and on TV specials such as No Holds Barred, the outcomes would be determined by the RPs, and all of the RPs from the TV shows would add up to count toward the PPV.


Now as for Plan B: We could keep status quo, where the staff votes on the RPs to determine the outcomes, but have a clause stated in the rules that if the RPs were really close to the point of having a draw, then we could reserve the right to have an angle-based outcome(basically, an outcome to advance a storyline).

And now that I think about it, Plan B might be easier! lol ;D

But yeah, gimme your thoughts.

Um........yeah, plan B as it seems a little less confusing and hasn't seemed to fail yet.

Plan B seems easier, for sure. I myself ran NAWA more like Plan A and it worked out alright for me. CGH also ran FCW like this (well, when I was there, anyway) and he never had a problem with it. The only thing is sometimes you have to plan stuff months in advance and it takes a little work to make sure everyone is booked in the same amount of matches. Also, if someone suddenly drops off the planet it sucks trying to replan months of planning. Also also if you get a whiner or someone that can't play by the rules *coughjtdabladecough* it will be a headache to explain to them over and over how you run your efed. But other than THAT, it worked out great!

Personally, I think a little mix of both is good. Some angles should be pre-planned with the rpers involved with the agreement that both parties will promo consistently in order for the final result to be reached (like, for example, you plan an angle with Adriana and Clinton where Adriana loses constantly only to get that big win at the end. As long as both myself and freak promo regularly, regardless of whose promos were better this week or that, you would stick to the plan through to the end. If I or freak stopped promoing, you would drop the storyline and rebook). However, lots of angles can be rp-driven, with the rpers themselves determining the outcomes by the quality of their promos, as you have been doing.

That's my two cents. Canadian. Which isn't worth much. But I think adding a little dash of Plan A in there now and then would be a good alternative once and a while for big storylines and title chases and whatnot.

Plan B is the better way to go.

(How much IS two cents Canadian worth in the old US and A?)

[fawn]

Stay with plan B as it is easier for all involved.

[greendragon]

B.

[Hollywood]

Well it seems that the masses have spoken. Plan B it is

Thanks everyone for your two cents, even if it is Canadian

[Wench]

But the Canadian two cents isn't worth as much as our two cents...That of course, only applies to money.

i personally find this to be the best option. it allows people that aren't so talented on promoing to have a legit shot of winning big matches & titles. still allows the truly talented members to get all the good angles, plenty of title opportunities & so forth.

pre-plan too many things can only set yourself up for failure. if a person bails out over a disagreement (or other problems), you'd need to redo a lot of work.

yet, if you rely too much on doing things by a group vote, that could slow things down too. angle-based rp's can often work against those that truly deserve the juicy roles.



however, if i have to choose between these 2 options, then i'll go with B. most of us are busy with real lives & can't always pump out huge essay-like promos.
