That fact that the two of you wanted to start your own fed is not the problem. I commend anyone that wants to start one because it truly does take a lot more work to do so, than some might think. The problem lies when false accusations are made by a bitter little prick that wouldn't put in the work required to improve ones work.

The other problem is trying to recruit our guys. Guys and girls that have came here through Shane's advertising efforts which I can guarantee you isn't free in all places. I once tried to start my own fed. I realized the cost involved in getting any site placed within google and other search engines, and it's not exactly cheap.

Favoritism.

That's a bad word. Anyone claiming that the XWF plays favorites is a delusional little douche cunt. If John Madison is on top of the mountain, its because he's that fucking good. And believe me, he is. If Luca Arzegotti or Sebastian Duke are considered the center of anything, it is pretty remarkable. We earned it. If you look at Luca's fiorst RP or mine, you can see how far both of us have come. Through hard work. Not by becoming friendly with Madison or Shane. Which, by the way, I do happen to enjoy our friendships.

Saying that we play favorites is unbelievably disrespectful to not only mine and Luca's writing abilities, but to those who are working hard to improve their work.

I'm in the process of training Mystica to be a GM, and he will one day take the reigns completely on Madness. You can ask him yourself what one of the first things I said to him when judging matches was. I told him to not get caught up in someone's reputation as a writer. Just because someone is considered one of our best does not mean that they won't have an off week sometimes. That maybe their opponent isn't considered one of the best, but if the circumstances and the timing is right, anyone can beat anyone here.

Claiming there is favoritism within the XWF is not only disrespectful, it's just flat out wrong and inaccurate. If it did play a part, do you think that Eli James, a relative newcomer at the time, would have beaten Sebastian Duke? Neonero is one of the better writers I have ever seen, I gave the Senator a shot at the title to see what he could do. He rose to the challenge and shocked the world and defeated Neonero. You, yourself, LJ Havok. I held this Rumble once. While the entrant order was legitimately pulled out of a hat, I wanted to give the opportunity to face John Madison to someone unknown. To prove to the entire federation, that anyone can earn a shot at the top. You won that. You faced Madison.

Your theory is shit.
