This one probably won\u2019t surprise many but the hell with it, I\u2019m still going to say it because people still do a lot of these or they still act like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For the love of God, SCW does not have a House Show every day!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve read quite a few of the\u00a0roleplays\u00a0and suddenly, without my knowledge, SCW is running perpetual house shows every day of the week and at every possible second. You\u2019d think I\u2019d know if I was breaking government working laws just to please the fans all that much. However, I\u2019m not doing this, so stop acting like it.<\/p>\n<p>Quite simply, I HATE\u00a0roleplays\u00a0in which the guy goes out to talk to the crowd. Why? They are EXTREMELY uncreative. If you have something to say that bad in front of a crowd, at least be a bit more creative or submit it for a segment on Breakdown. But SCW does not have a crowd around 24\/7 so you can talk to the fans. Be realistic for one and also creative. It often kills your creativity rating in my eyes and then you have to have a hell of a promo and make your character look good like there is no tomorrow or else you\u2019re fighting a huge uphill battle.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>I\u2019m a Main\u00a0Eventer! Okay\u2026.act like it!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My\u00a0favourite\u00a0new thing I\u2019ve seen in SCW recently is everyone claiming to be a main\u00a0eventer. However, let me define a main\u00a0eventer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Oleksa\u2019s\u00a0Definition of Main\u00a0Eventer:<br \/>\n<\/span><em>A consistent\u00a0roleplayer\u00a0who always does his best to be a positive contributor to the fed, while taking on all comers, helping those who are struggling, and being a leader in the federation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Does that make sense to you all?<\/p>\n<p>I think it makes sense. And notice how I never really mentioned that you\u2019re headlining the show. It makes sense, but I\u2019ll say this if you allow me to be an arrogant bastard. I\u2019m sure that if I thought hard enough, I could make a hell of an ending segment and I could put two newcomers in the \u201cmain event\u201d or last match if I wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>Being a main\u00a0eventer\u00a0means that you do what you can for the fed. You don\u2019t whine, moan, bitch and complain because you\u2019re facing someone who you don\u2019t think is in your league. Remember this, some people when they face someone who is a headline star, get a sense of accomplishment and want to prove that they can take it to the big guys in the fed. I\u2019ve known some people who can\u2019t beat one guy in the main event, but they can take it to other guys and make it seem like they are one of the best\u00a0roleplayers\u00a0around.<\/p>\n<p>However, I\u2019ve noticed a few people being greatly unwilling to face someone and even having the gall to demand facing the\u00a0Xander\u00a0Valentine\u2019s and Jay Gold\u2019s and things like that. I don\u2019t mind you wanting to face the best all the time. But realize I can\u2019t always do that and also, I have to think about the future. This isn\u2019t 18th\u00a0century\u00a0Europe\u00a0with distinctive class structure with the main event being nearly unattainable. Anyone can break in at any time and I want to make that something people can aspire to, along with having fun.<\/p>\n<p>Being a leader for the fed is making the experience a good one for all, from the most experienced and decorated\u00a0roleplayers\u00a0to the people who are just starting out and struggling. So what if you\u2019re facing someone who hasn\u2019t won at all in the fed. Help him out and see if you can fire him up into posting something amazing, at least for him. Either way, you\u2019re doing a\u00a0favour\u00a0for your opponent along with helping out the fed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This is SCW. Not the real stuff!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m saying this for one reason. I\u2019ve seen a sudden influx of people name dropping or even attempting to have real people in your\u00a0roleplays. Now, I don\u2019t mind this, HOWEVER, be realistic. Would someone from one promotion openly mention someone from another federation (notwithstanding the ULW\/SCW war or giving background from other e-feds).\u00a0Is it realistic that you\u2019d be hanging out with A-list movie stars? Think about it. If I don\u2019t buy it, then you\u2019re in trouble realize this. Plus, it also just seems like you\u2019re desperate to hit on something because you yourself can\u2019t think of anything decent. You notice how I don\u2019t mention anything in the shows about TNA or WWE. Why? I don\u2019t care about them. This is SCW.<\/p>\n<p>Hope that helps right now and gives you some extra tips to help you out. That\u2019s another Cynical View of E-fedding\u00a0and I need a drink!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright, I\u2019m back with another one of my organized rants to help you all with trying to figure out what I like and dislike in your\u00a0roleplays.
