Better Wrestler #74 - Page 3

**4 knuckles up** · 04-29-2009, 09:12 AM

Watching last Wrestlemania again has made me go for Steamboat.

**Destor** · 04-30-2009, 02:38 AM

Steamboat is trailing by nine. I think at this stage in the voting this validates the choice of his 5th round placement, especially considering how over Jericho is on this board. Beyond that it's a topical match which is a plus.

Hush it naysayers.

**Fabien Barthez** · 04-30-2009, 09:05 AM

too right dude.

**Xero** · 04-30-2009, 10:37 AM

I was wrong.

About Steamboat.

System is still flawed.

**Nark Order** · 04-30-2009, 12:00 PM

Yeah, but factor in all of the "I'm voting Steamboat because of all the complaints" votes.

**Krimzon7** · 04-30-2009, 04:08 PM

It doesn't look like too many socks dropped cast their ballots yet...

The system is fine

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 01:45 PM

No it isn't. Even Jeritron agreed to an extent.

**Jeritron** · 05-01-2009, 01:53 PM

I agreed that at some point it may need to be finite, but its fine as it is now

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 01:53 PM

You said you would revise the rules. :foc:

**Jeritron** · 05-01-2009, 01:59 PM

I said at some point the competition may have to end and enter a second volume, in which rules revising would be an option.
But since its got to stay consistent it isn't now

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 01:59 PM

Which indicates that there is, indeed, something wrong with the system. Otherwise it wouldn't need revising.

Though I did agree that this volume's rules can't be changed, it's too far in.

**Destor** · 05-01-2009, 02:00 PM

What is the isasue you have with the game Xero. Be clear as I wont acknowledge this again. So make it count.

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 02:09 PM

I've covered it in the thread...

The 50 rule was way too big. I've said that from the beginning. I knew that, unless you fairly put matches up instead of throwing every main event/popular wrestler up there as soon as possible things were going to get clogged.

You've gone 75 rounds. You used the majority of the populars within the first 50. This is not "Better Main Eventer", this is "better wrestler". Mid carders should have just as much a chance to get into the hall of fame as the main eventers (I'm using these terms loosely). They haven't, you've put them in blowouts.

You made the gap too big and didn't use enough low card/not ultra popular talent in a way that they would have had a chance. You probably have 500 wrestlers you could draw from TPWW would know yet you've, for the most part, either pissed them away or put the obvious guys up there first.

Jeritron's idea will resolve this issue, though, so it's all moot at this point anyway (aside from the gap, that has to come down next volume).

But I said it from the beginning. And I was right, the well has run dry because you blew your load way too early.

**Destor** · 05-01-2009, 02:13 PM

I agree with nothing you've said.

I dont want anyone in the HoF. Let alone midcarders. If TpWW wants those guys in they can fight for them.

For the record though, midcarders will get their chance to get in this in due time. But Im not rooting for them.

**Destor** · 05-01-2009, 02:14 PM

I'm shocked we've been able to keep this freash and interesting for 75 editions. That in it's self is impressive to me. So whatever.

**Destor** · 05-01-2009, 02:15 PM

FTR: Once we get either 16 or 32 guys in the HoF we will end better wrestler and have the Best Wrestler TOurny. I dunno if I've said this on the board before but that's what we're building toward.

**Destor** · 05-01-2009, 02:15 PM

So yeah, rules stay and I wont be reading any complaints from here on.

**Jeritron** · 05-01-2009, 02:47 PM

Thats what I said, that once a certain amount of guys are in the Hall, it should end.

Then, and only then, a new competition can start.

I never said anything about changing the current competition. You're using what I said out of context Xero.

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 02:53 PM

Actually I'm not. I said that I agreed with you about the rules being changed now. Just wasn't clear at first.

**Jeritron** · 05-01-2009, 02:56 PM

You said even I agree that the system is flawed. I don't. I just said we could discuss this stuff when a second run comes up

**Xero** · 05-01-2009, 02:57 PM

You said you would "revise the rules", indicating the rules need changing.

It doesn't matter, though. It's not going to change anything. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way and will just sit on my hands from now on.

**Jeritron** · 05-01-2009, 03:02 PM

I was appeasing you. I said we could discuss that shit when this current compettition ends.
I believe in the current rules, and you don't. I believe anything should be open to change and suggestion if it goes around a second time, but until then there is nothing left to discuss.

The way you're treating this shit is ridiculous. You're acting like you're standing up for some grand political movement here. Come on. I don't know who your secret feelers are, but the turnout gets higher by the week, and the competitions are going fine.
People can participate or not. I don't know what else to tell you, but it's not changing right now. Those people can do the same, whomever they are.
