By Iron Man Match, I mean that we have a match with a fixed number of posts. I suggest we have 5 posts each, this way you can't win by posting more (or spamming as some may put it).
I was originally going to suggest a rewrite match but I'm sure no one wants to see that.

I'd love to see a rewrite match, frankly, but I'm a boring old dog who can't learn new tricks.
Now, I don't want to step on the toes of you guys, if you really want this to be the last hurrah for REW, that's cool with me, but I had an idea that might beat the dead horse one last time. What if we had an end date? It's almost December - if we decided that no matter what, we'll walk away from REW at midnight on New Year's Eve, and leave it to rest in peace, would we get some inactives coming out of the woodwork and some old names coming back to say goodbye? Everybody's busy and nobody seems to have the time to devote to a recurring appearance (except the guy whose house got hit by a hurricane), but I wonder if people might be able to find the time knowing they only have to do it for another 4 or 5 weeks. It sure would be nice to go out not with a whimper, but a bang.
Just a thought, though, I'll leave it up to you guys.

There are four of us remotely paying attention any more and only two at a time ever seem able to post for a card. What else is there left to do?

I dont know how to make it better but it could be because not alot of people know about it. The only time someone would know about it is if they know someone in the fed who gives them the address.
Maybe if we could get it online so people could find it instead of having to know someone in the fed

It's not appealing to people who've never played this kind of game before and e-fedding has been replaced with the focus being on off topic creative writing rather than true wrestling. Sadly, it seems the internet has moved on... |

If that is the case, then by its nature, we need to evolve with it. Show these modern day Cosby kids that we, those of us who grew up doing this, can still hang. I may not have a lot of time (even less starting next year) but I would hate to see REW go away. It was and will always be my home. I can bring in one guy. He, like me, has limited time, but I'll see what I can do. If I whisper in the right direction, I can get Blake and Cloud. Possibly Tahti and Corrigan too. Just takes a little push and a whole lot of not pushing people away with too many rules.
We grew up on the insanity that was Ring-Wars and while things do have to be structured, Extreme is in our title. I know PJ and Seth will agree with me (if they ever get on). Fuck it, if we are going to kill REW, let's rape this motherfucker until it's over. Let me make some calls.

I think you're looking for two different things there, Jayson Ray. Can we really evolve and adapt to the new creative-writing, character-centric type of game that Trash is worried has taken over if we try to cling to the wild past of Ring Wars and being Extreme? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying let's have a million rules or totally abandon how we do things, I'm just not sure it's evolution to go back to raping and pillaging is evolution or is going to really change anything, but good luck to you with getting some people to come over and post.

Out where? I don't mean to be discouraging, but Trash and I have been looking at other feds for a while and generally find they are playing a very different game. They want endless rambling about their angsty past in lengthy posts where they never interact with anyone, or wild, off-the wall creative writing about Pokemon and My Little Pony taking over the universe. You'd be surprised at the number of feds out there who will not let you use other players in your post which leads to nobody ever really doing anything to one another. And from even before I set up PPW I've been hearing of people here going out and recruiting and nobody really showed up except the usual suspects.
By all means, if you know anybody you think would be remotely interested, encourage them to come, and if you think REW is worth saving, get stuck in and post whatever you can. If you think REW needs to change, throw suggestions out there. We're all trying to help here, in our own way, so give it a shot. Even if I get all doom and gloom about it, others might think it's a great idea and want to see how it works out.
We also need Scotty or Seth to elevate Trash or myself to admin again. I'm not sure where my admin powers went in the first place, but Sara can't be expected to do it all herself, and if she takes a day or two off that really kills our momentum because anybody new won't be able to post until they are activated and cards/results won't get done to move things on. Until we hear from those guys, if they even want REW to survive, I'm not sure we can really do anything that will be effective. I have to point out that neither of them have made the slightest sound about the December 31st end date.
