My favorite story to advance was the Evan Bourne/Miz/Christy Hemme Saved by the Bell-esque love triangle.

Accidentally making ("The Real") Jay Lethal a bonefide superstar was the trickiest thing I had to get around.

As far as incoporating injuries into it, how about if the wrestlers real life conterpart picks up an injury then so does the armchair warfare wrestler. It would make the injuries as frequent as they are in real life. I dunno, just a small idea I had.

Matt Hardy making creepy videos of him stalking his opponents before matches was probably my best character in Season 1. Somewhat foreshadowing the future as well.
Definitely fucked myself on my PPV though. Ran the show as though the fed were going to continue past the 1 month I was booking. In that respect my main event ending in a no contest with the Straight Edge Army killing everything made sense...but in terms of voting everybody felt cheated. Ah well. |

I still think mine did fairly well if given more time, maybe had Daniels and Taker do more mind games with each other or what not.
Any updates on this yet? |

How would scoring work? I think it would be cool to have the individual matches and segments scored separately on a scale of 1-5 instead of grading the show as a whole. Might give the individual writers some extra incentive.
Only thing I see as a potential problem would be you might have to have an allotted number of matches and segments to keep the available number of points even. I'm down to judge btw. |

We were sort of kicking around the idea of head-to-head segment ratings, a la Lock Jaw's system of judging.

I say, screw any new rules and whatnot. Just have it pretty much the same as the last times, only with writing teams. Otherwise we'll just spend weeks arguing about the rules until all interest fades and dies.
Just do it. |

We can probably do away with the Star Power rankings if there are only two shows. How do we pick writing teams?

Schoolyard pick 'em? Top finishers from before are head bookers, then draft their writing team one at a time.

We could even still have more than two shows. Depends on how many people are interested in writing, really.
I don't think there should be more than three people on a team. |

I think I will go back to judging for this one, but I have no problem booking if you need like one extra dude to even things out or something.

Would it be worth trying to do it as if it were a new start to a brand split? Like have it take place in WWE (which removes any need to try to come up with a backstory as to why the wrestlers are all free agents) and just have the two teams competing on the Raw and Smackdown brands?
I dunno, I'm just throwing out ideas really. |

Nuts to that. Half the fun was creating your own promotion.

Not saying you aren't right ('cause you are), but what made that interesting was the variation between the five promotions imo.
With only two promotions, I doubt that aspect would be as fun as it was, and that is coming from someone who thinks the same way you do. The original gimmicks, promotions and pushes were what made it great for me. |

Seems you're over complicating things - albeit with a very uncomplicated solution. Things worked fine the first time round. The "rules" don't really need to be fixed. The problem with AW was that it was too much work to write a show/read all 5, we've alleviated that with only having 2 shows and writing teams. |

Yeah, it's not a big sticking point about the feds, if people prefer to create them, then there is no harm in that, especially if it gives them different storyline ideas etc...

I love the concept, and wish I could write/judge as this would be right up my ally, but just don't think I have the time to fully devote to it. Will help out any way I can however as I think it is a fantastic idea.

I imagine writing and judging will be a lot easier with only two feds and teams of writers.
