Okay, mini rant here. You and I go back to 2013, and I'll give you credit: You've come a long way from the "Post You!" days, where you spammed the boards to the point where I was actively stressed logging into the boards. I'm glad you've made strides.

However (get out your Tony's Advice Calendar for this), since I've returned, I've been so incredibly disappointed in how you actively hurt XWF shows by opting in and then immediately ditching your character, mid-promo cycle, to randomly start focusing on another. It hurts the shows, and it hurts the people who put their time in to write RPs. Hell, if they know you're not going to write a promo, they'll phone it in because they know it's not worth putting much effort into facing a non-existent opponent.

Do you just not like RP'ing anymore? The one you referenced for War Games barely counts, as you very clearly threw that one in so you could continue writing on the board.

Anyways, if you don't like RP'ing anymore, contribute in some other fashion! Writer, judge, whatever the powers that be agree to, do it! Hell, you clearly enjoy reading other people's work... just be a spectator if that makes the most sense for you!

But don't actively hurt this fed and the people who work hard to contribute by consistently not meeting your commitments. It devalues the show, the matches you're in (and the titles associated with them, if applicable), and each and every character you jumble around.

But you need to step back and consider your priorities. And I don't mean a "Rain-esque break" of a day, where you say you're going to stop writing under a character, and then pop up tomorrow with Kid Kool, or Broken Hart, or Snow, or Rain, or some other character you create. We all get vertigo.

I'll leave it with the way I started: I'm so happy to see you making progress from the "raYne" days of 2013. However, there's a lot of room for growth, and it starts with showing us all the respect of showing up.

Oh... and please don't turn this feedback into shading me with another character like Tony Santiani... It doesn't win favors when it feels like a personal attack.
