A CYCLE OF SHOVE ITS - "Loverboy" Vinnie Lane - 09-07-2021
HEY EVERYONE!
Some of you may know already, but if you don't - after Relentless I will have to take some time mostly away for a bit. Theo came up with a pretty great idea that instead of Anarchy for the cycle after Relentless, we could have a few Shove It shows instead!
I thought of a few concepts that could be great for a show that are unconventional by XWF standards. You could have shows that stick to the Anarchy schedule or do something weekly on different days if preferred. Either way, here are a couple of ideas!
1. YOUTUBE IT!
A show made entirely of YouTube video promos instead of written RPs. These could have like a set minimum and maximum run time to give a framework. It could be a cool way to see how people pull off storyline aspects as well as vocalizing the trash talk aspect of the game. Guys like Barney and Robbie have some experience here so they could run a show like this or do well participating on it.
2. MATCH WRITE IT!
If any of you have ever seen a "match writing efed," you might know what this is like. Basically, you have X Roleplayer booked against Y Roleplayer, and rather than writing roleplays, they actually write a version of the match itself, each showing themselves as the winner. Then, others in the fed would vote who did the better match, and determine the winner that way. Again, these could have some parameters in place such as match stips, length, and so on.
3. PODCAST IT!
Similar to the YouTube but without video. In theory you could have more options ere because you would essentially just have to record a "radio show" style promo with sound effects and scripts, etc., to produce what you wanted. It could go the extra mile and have the show results themselves given in the same format. I think people like Ned could have a blast with something like this.
What do you guys think? Who might want to step up and fill the void left without Anarchy for a little while? Don't worry, we will still have an Anarchy Title match at the PPV after Relentless, and then go back to regular Anarchy shows at that time. It's just a temporary thing.

An angle Fed I did a long time ago before finding this place did something similar to the match write up thing you’re talking about.
The Fed head would book the rasslers, then have them take turns in writing 200 word trade-offs of the match. Once it got to about 1k he would jump in and write the finish.
I would be down to host something like this if anyone is interested. Could help with getting some more folks experienced with match writing. Y’all let me know if you’d want to participate and I’d be happy to host it.

We're going to miss you Vinnie and we'll be right here for ya when you're back!
This sounds like fun! I look forward to participating in these unique shows.

You da best, bossman. Also, I will provide an additional Shove-It suggestion in case anyone wants to use it.
Shovant-Garde
A Shove-It where no conventional RPs are allowed and creatively pushing the boundaries of what can even be considered a roleplay is the goal. We're all incredibly creative people here, so I know there are a billion ideas that people could come up with. Even the slight bits of potential overlap with Vinnie's suggestions would be mitigated by the possibility of people really streching the boundaries of their styles and methods of storytelling they might not usually utilize. At the very least, I think it could be neat if someone wanted to use it.

So is anyone going to step up and claim a show?
We need someone to put some shows up through October...

Nickles/Marf/Dolly are running one I believe around Halloween. I put a placeholder in the calendar.
But that's it so far.
Maybe Ned can pick a date and post his shove it from last year.

Oh gosh, I really hope that still takes at least a few weeks, I actually have a whole cycle of stories coming up built around that event now... Ah well, best laid plans...
Also, if it's not already taken, I'd love to run the podcast/audio-only Shove-It! I have an idea on how to put up match results in a super fun way as described above.

Pick a date and it's yours.

I had an idea based on an event I was recently at.
Ye Olde Anarchy At Thee Faire
It's Anarchy at the Renaissance Faire. Wacky costumes, old timey speech, renaissance era matches. I don't have a fully fleshed out idea, but it was something that popped into my head.

Let's see... If y'all are looking to put up content through October... I could run it the week before Halloween?
So Saturday, October 23rd?

So the Halloween Shove It or whatever they are calling it is October 28th. Would you be able to do October 14th? Typically we'd want these on Thursdays so as to replace an Anarchy on the calendar.
