So when I see an RP that's mostly random stuff going on and then a little bit of smack talk thrown at the end for relevance, I'm usually a little disappointed. I like when the story/arc is in some symbolic or thematic way related to the upcoming match. This is a bigger criticism to backstory dumps. Backstory is usually interesting, but I think it needs to be tied together into the XWF somehow and I can't stand when it isn't.

I personally haven't read much of your stuff, so I can't speak to that. I just wanted to throw out that tip though because you sound like you're planning on doing a lot of character stuff in the future.

Noted. That is part of what I thought was wrong with RP 4. It tied into the previous RPs sure, but it was a stand alone story that hardly mentioned Mikes upcoming match. Of course it is leading into something, but it was more of a bridge between RPS than anything else.
