I know my match hasn't happened yet, but I'm generally more active and interested in everything (I actually read most of your guys' work when I've got downtime).

I haven't been in 4 or 5 days. Personal life. Depression. Blah. Blah. Senator still hasn't role-played, and while I won't question his tactic of waiting for me to RP before he RP's (or he could simply have had issues like I do) I will say this : I am sorry I have missed so many days and I have nothing to show for it. This is my first time doing this, however.

I'm probably not helping my chances of winning, but the hell with it.

Good luck in your match, mate!

Surprising? Yes. Concerning? No, not really. Punk, you and Senator are consistently two of the most active Madness participants. Don't sweat it.

That's why I took next week off. It caught ME off guard lmao. I should be back after the tenth, but I'll try and roleplay for this match at least once

Slacker! j/k...im more in the middle as far as roleplaying, only cause I never have the time with work and kids. Although I had quite an abundance of time this weekend, so i did 3 (eventually 4) RPs for my match. So I always tell others this. Remember, this is only a game. Never, and I mean NEVER feel like your doing something wrong by not RPing if you have obligations in your life. This should never serve as your main priority, I had that problem when I played WOW. Its fun and great for free time, and we all understand that sometimes, we just can't do this every day and every week.

As a General Manager, and one that spends a lot of time trying to think of ways to come up with creative, fun and entertaining shows, no-shows do bug me. I won't lie, and I think I've said it before. That is not to say that life doesn't get in the way sometimes. I get that. I'm a guy with high family values myself. Nothing is greater than family. Never. All I ever want is a quick PM to give me a heads up before hand. If and when someone comes to the realization that they won't get any work up.

If not before, a quick apology PM after works too. Leaving me high and dry with no warning or anything at all isn't the right thing to do. I'm trying hard right now to include as many as possible in storylines. So, no warning at all would be pretty irritating.

Life does happen though.

It's simple Punk you have personal things going on in your life, it an unfortunate reality. We all tend to forget that outside of the XWF we have responsibilities whether it be a job, school, rent or relationships. You don't need to apologize to anyone for that taking priority over a game we play. You take the time you need to collect yourself, and if you ever need to talk shoot me an I'M, we also tend to forget that we spend so much time on the boards together that were almost like a second family. Chin up and I hope things get better for you just remember to always find that positive with the negatives, may be hard to see sometimes but its there.
