The only way I'd see it working would be on an assignment basis cause I can't see guys not signing up for the other shows and that would be kind of counter productive. I do think it's a great idea and it's in certain guys best interest to do that entirely, but I just don't see the right people coming to that realization.

From my experience being a GM about 4-5 months ago, not all folks are strictly concerned with their W/L record. Most are, but some are not. Some just like to write and read the results and see their character in them. That's why Shane allows for multiple characters and multiple sign ups a week. Everyone is allowed to contribute and be a part of the XWF as much as they want.

Sometimes people enjoy being able to come up with a creative and fun idea for this character one day, then this one the next. Allowing them to kind of pick and choose whatever they feel like writing and having more fun with on that day. I think that's why XWF attracts a lot of people, because we don't put a lot of restrictions or requirements on people who feel forced to contribute in some way. Theoretically, you can do 16 rps for 5 different characters a week on 3 shows (Luca-style) or throw up 1 piece of shit, figuratively or literally (Cyren-style). Although, the pictures of feces is not really encouraged. As long as you produce something you will continue to get booked and allowed to participate.

I do agree with you though. Putting a lot of centralization on one character for a writer can make you become more focused IMO. I think some folks would be surprised what they are actually capable of.

Also @ Paul: Let me know if you want any help with this show. I would be willing to lend a hand whenever need be on judging, results, or helping others with RP development. Maybe we could re live our old Wally Vs. Pauley days.
