I dont think that anything needs to change as far as how we rp and the like. As far as everyone not reading everyone elses work 100% of the time, I think that its just wishful thinking to expect that these days. We arent a bunch if kids living out our wrestling fantasy like we used to be. Now the fed is made up mostly with adults. Adults with jobs and responsibilities that severely limit the amount of free time that they have avalible to devote to a hobby such as this.

Vince McCarver or not, if you go changing the very foundation that this game is built on, you will run the risk of driving talented guys like Main and Engy away. On top of that, changing the game into something different isn't going to suddenly boost participation.

I’m not saying that you can’t change things, it’s your fed after all, but I’d definitely caution against it.

With that said, you spoke of a time where everyone did in fact read everyone else’s work, but I think that may be a case of rose colored glasses because I remember things quite differently.

Now is there something broken here? I’d be inclined to agree with you that there is. I’ve noticed on this run that we have what is probably the smallest roster that I’ve ever personally been a part of. The opt ins are down, rping is down, match writing is down.

The site screwing up for a few weeks, and that Savage event taking over a month to post probably didn’t help matters either.

As far as how do we fix it? I’m not sure. We could used some new blood in the fed for sure, but again, changing how the game is played before trying to recruit isn’t a good idea imo.

If we ran two separate brands, Warfare and Savage for example, but with very different rules, that could work, but I think that we always need to keep at least one show that follows the traditional format.
