I totally agree, Pedigree. I suspect the first person diaries of being complete fiction moreso than the full company ones but whatever the case, this isn't a roleplaying forum or a writer's lounge, so really, the non-EWR/WreSpi/TEW diaries don't belong here.

I'm also considering "The Wrestling Game", as like I said, this isn't a roleplaying forum... it made for a nice temporary home for WWE Game while IRP was re-vamped, but that's all it was supposed to be - a temporary home.

I thought that was merging with the WWE Game anyway?

I believe that is off, though if there is a chance that it could be re-ignited and they merge in IRP, that would be the ideal solution.

Also, I really want people to put more effort into their posts because so often I see a new diary pop up, with little more than a title and a backstory and people instantly hit it and say "This looks good." and not much else. I'd much prefer if people waited for the first card/show to go up and then leave a meaningful comment, unless of course there is a long backstory, in which case leave a meaningful comment on that.

Even if TWG combined with WWE Game, we wouldn't head to the IRP forum. For one, they already have a wrestling roleplay intact over there. bri wouldn't want more than one at a time. I don't even see how he's allowing this one.

Secondly, I don't see the harm in TWG here. It's basically a wrestling forum, so a wrestling roleplay shouldn't do much harm.

It isn't a wrestling forum though, is it? Go and ask TLA if you can have it in his forum, see what he says to that.

I want more focus on the EWR series in this forum, seeing as that is what it is for, is it not? It isn't a roleplaying forum. And if WWE Game is continuing to run alongside the WWF 2002 roleplay in IRP anyway, how does TWG merging with it over there change the balance of that forum? It's still two wrestling roleplays in that forum.

If you really are that opposed to moving to IRP, maybe Tom will take you in SVR08 or Guillotine and Pedigree in SVR09.

Slim, we all know you just hate roleplays in this forum, you didn't want WWE Game here when you had your stint as moderator back last year

SlimEdit: Because they don't belong here. Simple as that.

You can chose between TWG, or a non-EWR comedy Vince McMahon first person diary done by ZTR.

Heh, funny...

Bottom line: TWG doesn't belong here. I didn't want a roleplay here last time I was Mod but I let WWE Game across as a favour to Hazard and to Bri [even though Bri didn't appreciate it at the time]. Now, that favour has expired. I don't want to be a jerk about it but clearly I'm not the only one with this opinion or SVR08 and 09 would be welcoming TWG.

I still suggest merging with WWE Game in IRP.

Sorry for making such a crucial defense.

The main reason why we didn't merge with WWE Game, is because their members didn't want it. Bottom line, if TWG isn't here, it's basically nowhere.

Well that really isn't my problem. Though you can do what WWE Game 3 did and use one of the older, unmoderated Smackdown forums. The Supers knew all about it because they deleted the one made by a perma-banned member and they were fine with it. I don't see how this would be that different.

The problem with that, is we can't expand in a forum as old as say even 07'. If TWG plans on getting any bigger, we'll need to be in an active forum. Here's another thing, you made the exception for Hazard but you can't do it for ZTR.

Go to one of unmoderated SvR 09 forums (PS3 or 360). They're bound to get some new members there. But ask the section mod if it's okay. I believe roleplays aren't allowed in unmoderated forums, but ask to be sure.

I mostly did it for the IRP forum, actually, as IRP was dead on its feet because all it had going on was wrestling roleplay after wrestling roleplay.

Yes, I let Hazard come over here and I know Bri was pretty angry about it at the time but ask him now and I think he'd realise it was for the best.

Now there is no such problem. The discussion isn't whether TWG stays or goes, it's where it goes. Honestly, there are three wrestling RPs on Neo, which is two too many in my opinion but really, your best option is to work out how to do a merge with WWE Game. Homicide seems ready to step down as chairman, their GMs have no experience, their championship decisions have been pretty badly criticised, so maybe WWE Game has run its course anyway and TWG can step up to replace it in IRP.

If you can convince their roleplayers to merge, I have no vendetta not to do so. They pretty much all said they'd rather wait for WWE Game to die, than merge. I just don't want to go through the trouble of explaining why we should do the merge again.
