Well it\u2019s the end of January and it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve really attacked some of the interesting things I\u2019ve seen in the last little while and therefore, it\u2019s warranted that My Cynical View of E-fedding\u00a0returns.<\/p>\n
Basically, all of this is just a guide for things as I see them. Take them or leave it. It\u2019s by no means the Bible and I don\u2019t want it to be taken as such. I don\u2019t need a religion named after me. And if you\u2019re offended by that last statement\u2026Welcome to the column!<\/p>\n
I am the best! How the [insert 27 curse words here] did I lose? I\u2019m the king of the world!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019ve had this before. I laugh at these people. Why? It\u2019s clear that won\u2019t listen to whatever I say and will find a way to turn it against them. So that\u2019s why I\u2019ve decided to make a rule making it clear that if I don\u2019t feel you\u2019re even listening to me and are just going to yell at me for seven straight hours, you can do it in your washroom after eating twelve tacos and I can go watch some television. I have yet to call anyone on it, but really, if you\u2019re that pissed at me and think I\u2019m some biased jerk\u2026why the hell would you want to stay? It\u2019s not worth the headache on both sides.<\/p>\n But before you think about that, here\u2019s a suggestion. Before you come yelling and screaming to me\u2026think about this. Is it possible that you could\u2019ve lost? Is it possible that your\u00a0roleplay\u00a0did\u00a0roleplay\u00a0better than you? Face\u00a0it,\u00a0there are close matches all the time. There are not as many clear cut cases anymore, especially when you\u2019re in bigger matches. It\u2019s a fact of the matter. Realize this. You may then perhaps be more open to what I say and furthermore, you may be more open to seeing what I saw in their work to give them the win.<\/p>\n Also, before you come yelling at me, take a day or two and calm down and then talk to me. You\u2019re less likely to then get worked up and plus, you may get a chance to see what I saw in it. Remember, most matches and that\u2019s 95% of matches per month, are judged by me and me alone. Only if it is really close and I want a back up opinion do I go to a second\u00a0judge.\u00a0If I don\u2019t have that option, I go back to my grading system I used to use (I assign point values to different parts of your\u00a0roleplays. This was done for three matches at Body, Heart and Soul, for example). I intentionally do things this way. It\u2019s easier for me to defend my own opinion than someone else\u2019s and I hope you realize that I\u2019m not going to bullshit you. I\u2019m going to tell it as I\u2019ve seen it. Listen to what I say and then take it or leave it. Also, furthermore, I am human. I may miss something or goof and be more critical than I should be of something. It happens. I won\u2019t change the match result, however, providing that you have a solid case and it\u2019s not that it was close, I may consider giving a rematch.<\/p>\n But I\u2019m still the best right!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Cool it with the egos. They are just annoying. Several people have taken it upon themselves to make statements, serious or not, on the boards that could be considered egotistical. I\u2019ve noticed people are much easy to piss of these days and that\u2019s part of the reason I prefer to keep them off the boards unless it\u2019s blatantly a joke.<\/p>\n But I did everything you told me to. I must be the best now\u2026.right?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n People have pulled this one too. I don\u2019t give a damn if you write everything how I want it. If I want things written as I want it\u2026.I\u2019d write it. It\u2019s that simple. I merely give suggestions. I tell you what I liked and don\u2019t like if you want me to. That\u2019s all. But because I don\u2019t like one part doesn\u2019t mean that you should completely change everything. It may be the execution I don\u2019t like. It may just be that it came off poorly. Who knows? Either way, write things as you want to. That\u2019s how you usually do your best. I don\u2019t usually have a problem with writing styles. I generally have a problem with content.<\/p>\n I have this great idea\u2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Stop right there. Don\u2019t bother telling me your idea for a\u00a0roleplay\u00a0on MSN. I don\u2019t care. Why? Everyone can have a great idea. I have several a\u00a0day. I have to as the booker and writer of this place. If I didn\u2019t have great ideas, you guys would hate the shows. However, as much as I have great ideas, the execution is the most important. The\u00a0most simple\u00a0things can be made to be huge with proper execution. I have seen people have great ideas and they start putting it into their\u00a0roleplays\u00a0and they fall flat on their face because they just didn\u2019t think it through and how it would be best to do it.<\/p>\n Execution is just as important as the idea. This is something you will hear me say if you ask why you lost. Usually, people have good ideas. They may be even very creative. However, when you fail to write it well or properly or just write it in a way that just doesn\u2019t work, it affects it and it comes off as poor and it will end up hurting you. Everyone has a bad day. Remember this. However, it\u2019s one thing to just have a bad day. It\u2019s another to just be bad at doing things. If you ask, I\u2019ll tell and I\u2019ll tell you if you need to rework something.<\/p>\n Wooo! I just beat you with the RKO!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This one just pisses me off. I was planning on looking it up and seeing how many people have the same finishers. I decided not to because I didn\u2019t want to start crying. Some people have asked why I don\u2019t use certain finishers. One reason is that half the roster is using it. This isn\u2019t always the case but sometimes is. Think about the RKO\/Ace Crusher\/Diamond Cutter. I can think of at least five guys who use it.<\/p>\n Now, ask yourself this question. Remember how half the guys in the ring today now use a leg drop. Hogan still uses the damn thing as his finisher. Why the hell is he always winning with it and everyone else is lucky to get two? Is it just that he is that much better at executing it? If so, wouldn\u2019t you think just by chance someone would hit it as well as he supposedly does? If this sounds stupid, you see my point. Because of that fact that everyone uses the move (Not just as a finisher), I tend to make it a desperation move to change the tide that way it still has some value when it\u2019s used.\u00a0However, if everyone uses it for different things, who cares.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re thinking about it and notice you have this move (or others) as a finisher, think if there is something better out there. I know everyone wants those great out of nowhere moves, but there are plenty. And I\u2019ve been watching wrestling for 17 years and I\u2019ve been writing it for three and half. I would hope I can help you out should you need it. There are plenty of moves that people never use and would work just as well.<\/p>\n You guys suck! I rule! You should pick me in the prediction threads!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n For the love of God\u2026every time I see someone get\u00a0pissy\u00a0about this, I want them to get their eyes stabbed out with a fork.\u00a0Alright, maybe not that extreme.\u00a0However, this is just stupid. It\u2019s a God damn popularity contest and you know it. Hell, half of the people vote for their friends.\u00a0Kassie\u00a0Khane\u00a0always votes for the same guys regardless of who they are facing. Epiphany will always vote for\u00a0Dillusion, even if he\u2019s facing God himself. It\u2019s a meaningless thing. It means nothing. The only ones I\u2019d take even somewhat seriously are those who actually give\u00a0a reasoning\u00a0for their choice. Those are the people I would look to please or prove wrong if anyone.<\/p>\n I win! My mom, dad and all of my extended family said so!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Yes, this has happened before. I\u2019ve had people actually have their family who also happens to be in e-fedding\u00a0tell me that one person should have won. I will merely say this. There is a reason they don\u2019t let family members be character witnesses at trials.<\/p>\n He just copied this\u2026how is that creative?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n This is just stupid. I will put it this way. Everything in a way is copied. Technically, how I present Breakdown was probably copied by someone else. Ideas are copied. Hell, I can probably find someone else who each individual person in SCW copied. They are really only so many ideas. However there are many different scenarios and execution styles. This is what matters. When I say something is creative, I say it because I either haven\u2019t see it in a while or it\u2019s presented in a new and different way that made it their own. But if you want to argue with me on this, I guarantee you\u2019ll lose. Why? Because Stone Cold said so!<\/p>\n Realism vs. Fantasy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Alright.\u00a0This I shouldn\u2019t even half to go into. However, please differentiate between dreams, visions, delusions and realism. Some of you, you fail to do this. Honestly, I\u2019m not going to operate on the idea that if you fail to clearly tell me that it\u2019s a dream, vision, etc., I\u2019ll just ignore the\u00a0roleplay. It\u2019s not that hard. Change the font. Change the\u00a0colour. Give an intro to it saying that someone collapses. Few of you are able to give me a clear understanding of whether something going on is real or not without me having to guess. I mainly say this because some people are using psychotic breaks and showing scenes of rape, death, etc. I\u2019m fine with that\u2026as long as it is not directly linked to you (as in you write yourself clearly doing it) or it\u2019s clearly a dream, vision from the past, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well it\u2019s the end of January and it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve really attacked some of the interesting things I\u2019ve seen in the last little while and therefore, it\u2019s warranted that My Cynical View of E-fedding\u00a0returns.
