Oh. Thought it was the missing judges holding things up.
Alrighty then. |
Dayam! I was late with mine but I would have held off if I'd realised I wasn't the last to send in. stayed up til 5am to get in done only 24 hours after deadline.
|
I have no idea why you did that. I've never been a deadline nazi.
|
<font color=goldenrod>Not to be a dick here but if a Season 2 goes on, I think the deadlines have to be more strictly enforced. It's been nearly 3 weeks since a show has been posted. I think more than anything else that's the reason people are losing interest.</font>
|
Extra time was given to this poll because it was the PPV round. It's only been a week. People probably "lost interest" as you guys put it because they didn't feel like reading all of that stuff before they were allowed to vote. I really don't think anybody would just not read the next set of shows because it took too long for them to be posted.
What do you even suggest I do? Just put up all of the shows minus the ones I don't have? How do you suggest I even "punish" people? It's supposed to be fun. Let's just settle down. |

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Whilst it is a game, there are rules. Part of playing any game is to follow the rules.
The way I see it I have a show to book, that show has a deadline, part of the game is to meet said deadline. Where would WWE be if they didn't bother to send MyNetwork this Friday's SmackDown? Dumped? Fined? I don't know cos I don't now how that kinda thing works. IMO, if you miss the deadline there has to be some kind of punishment, otherwise there's no point having deadlines. Hence, why I stayed awake til 5am to get my show in ASAP (24hrs after deadline). People (DttS) might say I've taken all this too seriously, what can I say, I'm a stickler for "playing by the rules". And I do think the downtime has effected interest. There was a massive dip when Show 3 took an extra week to get posted. |
With all that said, I would like to be involved in a Season 2 should there be one. Whether as a judge or "running it". Or both(?).
|
I did take off points for the company that was late last time. I can do the same this time, but that's still not going to get me the missing show.

A game like this thrives on interest and participation. The interest has been so low the last two weeks that I'm not sure it was even worth the effort to write the shows.</font> |
From my experiences as a teenager in actual e-wrestling...if the show is this late it might not ever come out at all.
|
It's annoying from the perspective that I wanna read and enjoy the shows and see what I'm up against in a competitive way but it's more annoying from a "I got my show in on time, why can't you"/part of the rules stand point.
More annoying still is that people have signed up as judges and apparantly now can't make time to read the shows/judge them/send their rankings in. :-\ |
It's a cruel world, fellas. At least we have each other.
|
Just post the VCW PPV. I really won't lose any sleep over the other ones, but I may in fact really lose sleep over not knowing what happened with VCW.
|
BUT! Perhaps VCW is the one that is late. Think about it. (or don't)
|
I'm just going to rate these on how I think they will turn out and be done with it.
|
Might be the best plan :y:
|
I keep 2nd guessing myself now on how I've booked my show. If it's gonna be much longer I might have to take a second look.
|
OK. Given that at midnight tonight we're gonna be a week past deadline, can we just go ahead without the last show and minus the missing judge rankings?
|
:/ Mandatory voting should be in effect for everyone in the wrestling forum.
|
Would anyone object to me getting the ball rolling on Season 2? Sign ups, rosters, etc.
If it's cool with AbT that I "run" Season 2 that is? |
XL seems like he is trying to make a power play. What a cunt.
|
Errr, fuck you.
AbT wants to be a booker for Season 2 so he can't run it. I offered to take on the role to allow him to be able to book. With the PPV round a week past deadline and no sign of it moving forward, I figured we could do the "admin" side of Season 2 so we're ready to roll pretty soon after we eventually see the back of Season 1. Who are you anyway? |
That's Tiger Paw.
|
And he is? Never seen a contribution from him in these things.
|
I think if he just learns to play nice he'll be fine.
|
How do you not know Tiger Paw?

*The Naitch walks around backstage. He runs into Office Plant*
Office Plant: Sup Naitch The Naitch: Let's go look for AssMan, start A-Unit again. Where's Paul? Office Plant: Paul is somewhere....oh there he is *Paul comes out of the washroom* The Naitch: Hey Paul Paul: Sup *The Naitch clotheslines Paul. Goes for the cover* 1-2-3! NEW TPWW HARDCORE CHAMPION.....The Naitch |
TRO pushes Naitch into the office plant. Who ends up going mental and kicking everyones asses.
TRO gets enough energy to cover Naitch. 1-2-3 New TPWW Hardcore champ - TRO |
All of a sudden, Bizarroking comes out of nowhere and clotheslines TRO!
Is he? HE IS! BizarroRush! (Reverse RKO) 1-2-3! New TPWW Hardcore Champion-Bizarroking! |
TRO kicks Bizarroking in the shins.
Bizarroking runs away......... Still TPWW Hardcore Champion - Bizarroking |
All of a sudden, Bizarroking gets mauled by a leopard!
As he lays there bleeding profusely on the ground, Lock Jaw walks by whistling a jaunty tune. Noticing this opportunity, Lock Jaw makes the cover. 1-2-3! New TPWW Hardcore Champion - Lock Jaw! |
TRO kicks Lock Jaw in the jaw. Then Lock Jaw runs away screaming......
Still not TRO's day. Still TPWW Hardcore Champion - Lock Jaw |
Lock Jaw trips over a naked midget!
TRO makes the cover.........1-2-3!!! New TPWW Hardcore Champion - TRO |
YES!!
|
*TRO wakes up from dream*
Still TPWW Hardcore Champion - Lock Jaw |
YES!!!
|
Turns out it was all a daydream of Lock Jaw after HE was mauled by a leopard
STILL TPWW Hardcore champion-Bizarroking! http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1065/...ca9b67.jpg?v=0 |
Turns out it was all a dream for Bizarro.............nah fuck it.
Steel vibrator to Bizarro's head (WHERE DID HE GET IT???!!! WHO KNOWS!!)) 1-2-3 New TPWW Hardcore Champion - TRO |
Lock Jaw gathers up his small intestines that are poring out of his leopard-induced wounds and chokes TRO out with them.
1-2-3! New TPWW Hardcore Champion - Lock Jaw |
Lock Jaws' computer get busted with child porn on. TPWW Management release Mr. Jaw, and wish him the best in his future endeavours.
Still TPWW Hardcore Champion - TRO. |
Suddenly, TRO comes down with a horrifyingly bad case of explosive diarrhea. Bizarroking has the keys to the stalls and opens them in exchange for the title.
NEW TPWW Hardcore Champion-Bizarroking |
Years have passed. Lock Jaw has done hard time in prison, getting raped in his leopard-induced orifices, but has become a born again man of the Lock-Jawish faith. Lock Jaw is paroled and quickly builds a time machine to travel back to the year 2010.
Lock Jaw immediately seeks out BizarroKing and gives a rousing and emotional motivational speech about doing the right thing with your life, and not making mistakes like he did. BizarroKing is reduced to tears and hands over the TPWW Hardcore championship willingly, for he feels as if he has been given a gift by Lock Jaw and must respond in kind. Lock Jaw accepts the title and shakes BizarroKing's hand. Lock Jaw then turns around and hits BizarroKing in the head with the belt and covers him anyways! 1-2-3! New TPWW Hardcore Champion - Lock Jaw |
Aaaaaand we've degenerated into tpww 2005.
|
Somebody, post the PPVs quick.
|
I mean XL rushes in with a spear on Lock Jaw and covers. 1-2-
What's this? LJ reverses into a sleeper hold. XL falls asleep due to the hold (or from waiting for the PPVs). Still champ: Lock Jaw |
Double post
|
Lock Jaw retires undefeated and undisputed.
He then climbs into his time machine to go into the future, where the PPVs are posted. |
Oooooo. Who won?
|
They mystery man in VCW was really a leopard. It got into the ring with HHH and tried to maul him, but HHH just smashed its skull in with a sledgehammer and posed above its dead carcass for some heel heat.

<font color=goldenrod>I think it's safe to say the game has been disbanded. What a waste of time it was writing up all those shows and the PPV then.</font>

Yeah, at this point I say screw the late one and just post-em.

The votes aren't even really that important at this point. VCW's had a clean sweep and probably is going to wind up winning the thing. I just want to know what happened during the PPVs.</font> |

Ditto. On all counts. I really don't know why we're waiting for this last show. It's over a week overdue. If the 4 bookers are in agreement that we go ahead minus the missing judges scores and one PPV short, can we just post em? |
We could, in theory, release the shows ourselves.
|
I suggested doing it under the Armchair Booker account to Vito. He agreed. I've pm'd AbT, so gonna give him a chance to reply.
Wanted to get agreement from all 4 bookers that have bothered to send their PPVs in. That's 3 out of 4. |

<font color=goldenrod>People don't realize the importance of deadlines. It's not a coincidence that the first two weeks got really big reader/voter turnout and then the next week there was a huge drop because the show came out later than planned.
Deadlines don't just keep it a level playing field, it gives the reader a steady and dependable stream of content. I doubt there will even be enough interest to start a Season Two after this. It's a shame because this could have been a game that lasted a long time.</font> |
I get the impression we're awaiting on scores from judges more than waiting for Jeritron to get his show in. I don't know for sure cos AbT has seemingly gone AWOL. Either way Jeritron should be disqualified or something.
We have agreement from me, you and DttS that we should post under the communal account. Waiting on a reply from The Show Off who I PM'd the other day. IF there is a Season 2 and IF I run it, I'll be running a 2 strikes and out rule, miss the deadline twice and your show gets canceled or passed to a reserve booker (if we can even find more than 5 people to take part). |
We're only missing two judge's scores, and chances are we are not going to get them.

We need two new judges.
|
Quote:
Lock Jaw/BizzarroKing, are you willing to total up the 8 scores that you do have? |
Honestly have no idea how the points are calculated/tallied in this thing.
|
I'd probably be willing if the others are.
|
I'd guess it's
1st = 5 points 2nd = 4 points 3rd = 3 points and so on. So if TIW got 3 x 1st, 5 x 2nd, 1 x 4th and 1x 5th it'd get a total of 33 points for the week. I think the poll winner got 5 bonus points. If you send me the first week's votes I'll be able to confirm that using three totals for week 1. |
Tonight at midnight (US time) we are 2 weeks past deadline. And so, as Anybody Thrilla seems to have vanished, I have put the wheels in motion to get this posted tomorrow (Thursday).
I have 2 shows (including my own) ready to go. Just waiting on the other 2 shows and one of the judges to hook me up with the rankings of the 8 judes that bothered to vote. People might see this as me "taking over" (and I guess I am) but I really don't see these shows going out otherwise. I think the work of the bookers needs to be showcased, we have all put a lot of effort into writing the 4 shows leading to this and I for one am not willing to let that effort go to waste. Apologies to AbT, but I'm picking up a "dropped ball". Hope everyone understands (even appreciates) why I've taken this route. :y: |

Can you post the Week 4 votes in here BK? Or add me to the Judges group so I can get them.
|
Quote:
|
Cheers. Can you post them in the PPV Thread once it's up so that there's no room for me to have fucked with the votes.
Also, waiting on one more show (and that Midnight "Deadline"). |
Anyone know how the points were calculated for the Star Power Rankings? Or should I just cut that?
|
UPDATE: Waiting for one show and we'll be ready to post.
|
Just post it man. You should be waiting for ABT, whether he's "vanished" or not.
|
So, I think I've worked out the scores off the back of Week 4. Do you want me to post them here?
I'm still waiting for the 4th (and 5th?) show(s) or to see if AbT appears...:-\ |
K, so I have "all" 4 shows and the scores done. The only thing stopping us from posting is a sense of guilt for "stealing the game" from AbT. He hasn't been on TPWW since the 14th, maybe something major happened with him? Anyone have any ideas?
As for the 5th show, I have been told the reason why it hasn't been sent in but I won't disclose it at as it hasn't been made public. The missing show is the lowest ranked one of the 5, so I don't think we're costing the booker a "Shot at Glory" or whatever. Not sure if that sways opinion or not. So, it's the "Pang of Guilt" verses the "Fear of the shows not going out as it's been a month since Week 4 was posted/2 weeks passed deadline". Anyone feel like reassuring me that I'm making the right decision in posting the thing? |
I say we form a search party and scour the woods for signs of AbT.
|
Just got for it.
|
Some people may call it a "dropped ball". Some may call it "moving to New York for a new job, being bounced around from city to city, limited internet access, a son's first birthday party, Monday Night Raw tickets (:shifty:), having half of your staff relocated to Maryland, working around a protest, and meeting a senator".
Long story short, sorry guys. Life came at me fast. Keep doing whatever it is you're doing. I love you. I'm sorry. *CHIN MUSIC* |
