There are never any suprises in terms of who will win the match- its always the person who has the more or better segments. That is boring. Any reason to y it is like this?

What do you suggest? Let people who aren't better writers win?
Shock victories do occur here, but that's up to the opponent and if they're willing to job to the lesser opponent. They have to see some potential in them though. No-one's likely to want to lose to someone who's never going to become good in time.
All you can do for now is keep at it, improve your writing and work your way up the ladder. Then you might start winning.

Indeed. This is NOT GFWWE. And please tell me you are not WWE Gamer in disguise trying to win us back.

We have had in the past quite a few shock wins in the past where midcarders have beaten Main Eventers legit and fixed. Honestly Jack unless I have missed something I haven't really seen much writing from you and that really can hurt your chances to win. It's kind of like not doing any work but expecting a side of cash anyways.

Just stick around, and be patient, that's the most important thing. Everyone has their losses when they start out(except for Kudo/KUDA), and once you break through, it'll be worth it. For now, you can compete on Fallout, if you want to do that, or keep at it. Red and Santiago are two guys who always keep plugging at it, no matter what, and it's really payed off for Santiago. Red'll have his day too, if he sticks around. And there have been some shocking wins before, (remembers RDK losing to the Killer Spear of Hunter)

You're always best off sending your segments to AK. Then, if they aren't put up then there's a good reason for it and AK will explain to you why. Even if you're working on a joint segment you should always send your version too, just in case. Just make it clear which is the final definitive version.
As for your loss. Logging onto the boards counts for nothing. If it did, I would be World Champ and undefeatable as I'm practically here all day every day.
You should find that any decent and fair system in any other e-fed will work the same way. Letting you win over someone who has already shown what he can do wouldn't be fair at all.

Plus, unless our system has changed since I quit writing, we are more storyline based then how good your RP is. Most of the stuff that goes on is in joint with another RP'er, and therefore they know how the match is going to end. Ive always like that style, cause it gives the "not-as-good" writers a chance to improve while they are working with the better one (IE me working with Yoko in 04 [even though she was the new person <_<])

Yes, always send Atomic Kitsune any segments that you do, you'll know that they'll be in good hands in that case.

I think the previous replies have raised most of the salient points. All I would add is that with ACW (as with most feds) the impetus is on the member to chase up anything that hasn't occured as they expected it to. This is not school, college, or work, and no-one here wants to have mods looking over their shoulders at every turn; if you wrote a segment and it didn't show up in the final "broadcast" then the chances are it never reached me, as I try extremely hard not to leave anything out.
Contrary to popular belief, neither I nor the other members of this fed are mind-readers, so we can't know that anything is wrong unless you tell us. A PM to me or one of the other mods is all it takes, and we'll do all we can to find out what happened. And as long as you supply a copy of what you wrote, you'll receive the credit that you're due on the calcs system.
The truth is that there is a greater chance of an "upset" result happening here than there is in a traditional pure RP fed. However, it's still an unusual occurance; if it were otherwise, people wouldn't continue to participate in something that was patently not recognising their skill and effort. If you still have concerns, I would suggest that you read the "getting started" guide on the ACW website, which explains how matches are decided in greater detail.
