Don't worry, Its not a rage quit but there is something you all should know.
I have next to no interest in cfedding anymore. Now stop and wait and read the whole post before you all lose your shit.
I am going to Mania for certain, do not doubt that. I have never experienced that and I am not missing out again. After that, I do not know.
And its hateful, I have a character I love writing for and an enormous picture base that is growing by week. Something I have never had the pleasure of having with Damian. I created a character I enjoy, worked on the backstory with a few hiccups. So what the Fuck is wrong? Well that would be the simple fact that the biggest reason I have been in this game this long is the community. You guys are what made it fun.
The hours spent chatting with Jabs, AL, iNM, Inno and XL. And to a smaller degree NBT and Kapoutman. That's what I miss. Ill admit I haven't checked the thread since my last promo. I created the broken jaw bit so I wouldn't have to do as many promos. I half write them and abandon them. I haven't done much all year, a few one off though enjoyable feuds, no title chases at all to get focused on. I have no idea the direction my character is headed at all.
I owe more to you guys then what I am giving as of late. All the chaances you have given me and I focused as much as possible in ensuring I did not fuck up again. I don't want to quit but I am not happy with my own effort lately and I dont want to just fade out. I don't want to abruptly end this and I wanted to give plenty of notice so the booker doesn't have a huge problem. I will continue if you guys really want but trying not to be cliche or anything, my hearts just not in it anymore.
And I know full well the response this is going to get. That's why I have put it off so long. My biggest regret is letting you guys down again even I did my best not to since last year.

hmm
I understand
I love my current feud, especially with the new angle it was just given
But yeah... there's not much to excite one about c-fedding right now

Your never online, Jabs is rarely online or busy. Afterlife I am certain blocked me since he hasn't been online in 4 months. XL rarely responds and NM leaves his AIM on when not around and gives like two responses. Just blah man.Ill make a promo and then wait til the next show. No conversing in between.

I am being open and giving you months of notice. I am not going to leave before Mania. But when you don't enjoy something any longer, why would you continue?

I don't want to leave you baby, its just that we dont talk anymore.

It's sad that I have talked more to you guys in this thread then I have in the last few months. As said, the reason I enjoyed fedding is we used to talk about it a lot in between shows, I havent had an AIM or Skype chat concering fedding in longer then I can remember. Seems now, I promo and wait for the next show to go up which is pretty boring and uninteresting for me.
Real life often gets in the way (which reminds me, NBT needs to come back).
You also say that "having nothing going on" with your character is effecting your feelings for the game, yet, in admitting this, you're asking to not be put in an important position in the run up to Mania. :-\

Even if I was in the headline for Mania and the World Title I don't think I would be happy. Id be fine still promoing and having fun as long as I got to chat with you guys.
Im not trying to be difficult at all, I didn't want to just quit and not say anything like others have over time. I want to give you guys the full picture of what's going on. I haven't rage quit once since Ramps became my main character and I can't stress enough that I enjoyed talking to you guys about fedding as much as I did taking part in it.

You could've just messaged NM, so he would've had chance to set up a surprise exit at Mania.
What's the point interacting with Rampage between now and then, since we know you're leaving and you're not enjoying yourself?

I did. A lot. I never get a response from him about anything or if I do its one word usually. Not what I would call a conversation. So I stopped bothering with messaging him.
Between now and then? I haven't really enjoyed fedding much in the last bit. I tried to keep myself interested. Im just not into it.
Pretty sure if I chatted with you guys more it wouldn't be a problem and you guys have other stuff going on as well. Jabs with the Inspector, Sammy looking into getting help (wanna say im happy for you btw) XL with the job hours changing and NM with a shift change from the New job. Hell Inno is around less as well.
I don't think you guys found/find the interaction as big as fedding itself. Though I know i did. Honestly miss the group chat the most.
Again, I didnt think this would go well which is why I was hesitate posting it. But I don't see much point in continuing what you don't enjoy doing. Hell NM could put the title on Rampage next week and I don't think it would pique my interest at all.

Well, while we're on the subject of folks being unhappy with the state of the C-Fed.....
Fangel's dropping out after Mania because he doesn't feel like he's part of the group anymore.
Avenger's chatted with me a few times in PMs about how he's not satisfied with his direction, which I've taken steps to fix.
Nate and Next Big Thing have both said they've got no intention of coming back any time soon, either due to time constraints or lack of interest.
And frankly, I'm getting rather bummed out myself since we appear to be on the verge of another player draught.
So does anyone else have some criticisms they'd like to air, problems that I can fix? Is it just bad timing, or is there a more systemic problem here? Are we just in a rut, or is it just Fangel who's not having a good time?

After re-reading this, I have decided to stay and keep on trucking. I am sorry for the flip flopping, but I would rather help see fedding through a difficult time then be a contributor to its possible death.
From this post I can see some people are getting bored with it, for me it is definitely not the product but rather the lack of conversation.
Early on when the Midcard Wars were going on, Id chat with everyone probably every night. I miss that, thats what made me really enjoy fedding.
If thats gone so be it, I just hope that it can happen every so often. Anyways, I have decided to stay indefinitely and I am sorry that I brought this up. NM if you had any plans, do continue them. I don't plan on leaving anymore now that I know that other problems are afoot and I don't want to be another big blow (excuse the possible arrogance there, it was not intended)

Glad to see your staying FA. This has been a slower part of the schedule for C-fedding but I feel will heat up, just like in "real life" wrestling from Our Rumble to Mania. I've been around to see C-fedding supposedly die 3 times, hell even was moved to a different website at one point, and it is still going.
Fresh blood has always been the problem. Keeping these guys around is the key to keep things going. I really miss seeing NBT in here. I wish he would come back at some point.
I haven't been in any chats with anyone just due to my real life schedule but I can honestly say I still feel apart of this deal.
I may not be the best promoer or even have the most current picture set (something I am working on I promise) but in my honest opinion we can turn it around to where more people can enjoy what they are doing.
I know I'm psyched with the recent updates and where a lot of feuds are going, not just mine.
Fangel
06-10-2012, 05:04 PM
Yeah had my ambition rejuvanated with a long chat with AL last night. As for you, you have been consistently solid since a week after you came back.
I'm pretty content, even if my lack of activity says differently.
There are always a few things that can bug people though. The speed at which the shows are coming out probably doesn't help. That said, I have done nothing to help expedite the process lately. Mainly due to all the shit throwing that goes around when there's a delay. Don't see why I (or anybody else) should be made to feel guilty or have the blame put on them for volunteering to help.
NM, I wouldn't worry about a drop in interest, especially if the biggest neysayer is Avenger. As good as the dude is, he was always gonna be hard to please/want to play by his rules (kinda like his character).
P.s. FAngel is so high maintenance.

Son of a bitch rips me off after I put him over all those years ago? #LiveTheGimmickIsMyGimmick
I'm completely satisfied with the direction of both of my characters. I'll admit I've had some difficulty coming up with fresh material for MVP lately, but that's mostly because I've been distracted with other things going on. I've still managed to shell out some promos and contribute to the shows, however. Things usually slow down in the summer time anyway, so I'm not worried.
The pace of the shows going up doesn't bother me, but I prefer to have more time to promo and write matches between shows when my schedule is hectic like it is right now, so maybe I'm an outlier here.
Fangel
06-10-2012, 09:01 PM
Slower shows doesn't necessarily mean less good shows. Basically this time period is showing we all got other things going on in our lifes that makes the rate at which we used to go simply not possible.
Something I have heard from Sammy last night is none of us really have time to talk to each other much anymore. I get bummed out on that.
If you want to help out, simple way I suggested to NM to do it is when he is online and you are too, take a a few minutes to help him scour for pics for the match. Trust me that is the worst part of writing a multi-man match and I am sure anyone else tasked with that ever would disagree with me.

I haven't noticed any problems save for the big delay since the last show. If I felt like I had the capacity to write effective matches, I'd offer to help. But, while I can offers ideas for storylines and characters, I just don't have it in my to construct a match.
