Hello all,
Now that it's been a few years since we made the shift to 3500 words per roleplay for TV, for the most part, this is what people write. Rarely do people go well over that limit for ppvs and usually they're specific matches (Title matches people are really motivated to win; Taking Hold of the Flame, etc.).
That in mind, as we are getting older, on average, as a roster, I wanted to revisit this discussion and offer a few options and gauge the temperate of the roster going forward.
Option 1: We keep things as they are. Title matches (not including TV Title) on Breakdown and PPV matches have no word limits. TV shows have 3500 words per roleplay. 2 RP Limit per show.
Option 2: We go to a global 3500 words per roleplay no matter the show or match. All matches have that limit and all matches have a 2 RP Limit
Option 3: We go to a 3500 words per roleplay rule BUT title matches or PPV matches go to a 3 roleplay limit. This means that they still stand out, still offer some writing flexibility, but now with a third roleplay with a cap, instead of no limits in the word count.
All other roleplaying rules would remain (Only one roleplay in the last 24 hours). Ultimately, across the last few years, it should also be clear that quality has always triumphed over quantity. It's more how do we want to offer writers more space, if at all, while balancing that all of us have lives, have other commitments, and want to also get the most out of this hobby.
Please vote and comment and I realize there may be some disagreements, but please keep it civil.
