Outside of 2 other guys here, that being John and Dreamer, I've been playing this game and doing my thing for well over 10 plus years. I've seen this game at its peak and I tried with some success to save it when it was at its bottom by taking over the G-Fed Ring Wars. Needless to say I know what makes the game work, what breaks it and how to keep it alive.
On that note what I see from a LOT of feds, and again I've been around the block touring E-Feds as Holiday for a 2yr stint when E-Feds were HUGE and Ring Wars was still on top, people tend to drift away and people tend to whine and complain about the game heading south...no not the dirty dirty south where I'm from but down hill. Activity ceases, people only show on card days if then and it's all for the reasons they complain about...LACK OF ACTIVITY!
So if any of you are like me and you want this game to be fun, you want it to STRIVE I challenge you to do something about it. For those of you that may have been around remember the days when we had 2 day cards with more activity then we have per match with a week or more to RP?
You don't have to write a novel to make off card RP, hell a few paragraphs to get something rolling is great and it snowballs into something bigger, bigger RPs, bigger matches, and matches that feel like they have meaning! In my day to be a World Champion meant you were the fed leader, you put in every day and not just when your title was at stake and the IC or lightweight title was the guy behind them because they did the same. The World Champion was required to post a minimum of XXX amount of posts to keep their title and so on. Certian "Middle" titles had to be defended anywhere between 2 to every show a month. The only guys I see doing this is Grufter who should of had a World Title shot long ago in my opinion and "Freakula" outside of myself.
Little do most of you all know I personally put the fed to the test, that new ideas and new creativity makes a huge difference. Perhaps we're all "Crawling" because we're tired of dancing to the same songs and we're too attatched to our characters to let them go. My defense on that matter is I am THUNDER....and I SUCKED on purpose just to prove that someone or something new made a hell of a difference. I'm not telling you all that everyone should make new characters but maybe for some that wants to shake things up. The guys did it in the old days and they made names out of theirselves with a new guy just as well. Dozer had Eliphino, Triple X had The Icon, ICon had Jeebus, Goldenboy had AoD and so on and so on.
As always, any ideas, feedback, sugestions for me I welcome!!
