Good to see you around, Jayson Ray, and I appreciate that you've been working to get Blake and Dyce to come back. But I have to ask - where have they been? We have made no secret about the possible fate of the fed for several weeks and while Dyce posted once, a fortnight ago, you were essentially the only person to react in character and express that you gave a crap about the place being destroyed. I'd love to build up again, here or in Fed Wars, but before we can do anything we need to see some commitment from the roster (and at least see what kind of roster we'll have). We have heard countless times before that the old hands are on the cusp of coming in, but it generally has not panned out, and if it has, it does not last. As Trash says, work schedules and other real life issues can really get in the way, but if no one could find a few minutes to pop in and at least throw up a half dozen lines about not wanting to see their home destroyed, and nobody tried to stop it or save it at any point, I cannot help but feel there's more to it than just being busy.
There has been an apathy around us for quite some time. The last time Blake was here, he ended up leaving because he would simply talk about how great he was, belittle everybody else, then no-show. I 'fired' him, and some others, an admittedly desperate attempt to spark some activity and slap a little sense into the people who should know better and see if they were willing to actually play the game or only wanted to stroke their own egos. Sirius got the message and kept at least trying to put stories together. From what I remember, no one else did. All Blake did was complain on the OOC board. Every effort I have made to get people to engage with me or even against me has led to either silence or a paltry amount of OOC complaining. I thought he'd either wake up and play properly or actually fight back, but no such luck. Hopefully he won't read that, come stamping in here and start up another argument, or walk away. I'm a forgiving man, and I know my actions were kind of harsh to begin with, even if I did warn people. But we need people who want to play, not people who want to fluff up their feathers now and then. I'm hoping Blake shares that frame of mind.
Back when he was fired I said this:
The same still applies. Nothing moves this roster. Nobody reacted to an insane card except somebody telling me via IM it was 'dumb'. Nobody tried to go after the Extreme title despite its 24/7 rules. Nobody tried to tell stories, and nobody reacts to attempts to tell them any more. Even threatening to kill the fed didn't move anybody to action. I went on for a month about how the fed would die if nobody took out Trash, and I think there was a grand total of one post where somebody even thought about it. I then did kill the fed, and Sirius set the building on fire, and we got a couple of posts of people just leaving the building. Jayson Ray was the only person to react, and even he didn't try to save anything, just beat a cripple with a pipe. At least he sold what had happened, though. He had an emotional reaction to events, which is something sorely lacking in REW.
Now, I'm leaning towards going to Fed Wars and starting up there. It gives us a chance to continue on together, while providing some exposure that might bring in new talent, even if they are just curious or looking for somewhere that isn't too much work. The way their system operates, your fed must be active to avoid being shut down, so it will put us under some pressure and give us a solid cut-off. If we fail, I'd say we're done, and I would recommend anybody who wants to keep playing a similar style to join Angel at GHW or otherwise find yourself somewhere to play.
That's the conclusion I have reached, for now, but I'll throw it out there to the rest of you to continue discussing while I set us up at Fed Wars. The worst that can happen is I waste a little time setting up a free fed we end up not using. Still, I would like to see some enthusiasm from people, even if they disagree with the direction I'm going, because if nobody is going to make an effort, why should I?

All righty.
EDIT: By the way, good job Trash, Jayson Ray and Sung Ho with showing us some activity on the flashboard. Somehow those posts did not appear for me until now, I guess my cache was messing up.

www.fedwars.net/fed.php?promotion_id=182 Here is our fed at Fed Wars. It's ugly as heck right now but I'm working on it. If anybody who wants to be part of it could sign up there and request a contract, it would be a big help, since we need to get the roster started ASAP.

You'll have to log in and create a worker, then search the promotions for one called Phoenix Pro Wrestling and click 'request contract'.

You need to create a worker first. That's done after you register.

Like I said, this fed is moving and changing. We are rebranding to Phoenix Pro Wrestling and setting up in Fed Wars where hopefully more exposure will lead to more players. We'd love to have you join us over there. There's no reason you can't keep playing.
