I've been keeping my mouth shut about a lot of the ideas for the last few pages, mainly cause I don't have much to contribute to the already vast array of thoughts. For me, we're reaching a stage whereby we're going to have to do some sort of vote (though I'm not sure if we're quite there yet; we should have all the ins and outs of every option considered before any such vote or decision). On the mod side of things, I wouldn't mind throwing my name into the hat, if my help is wanted in any form. I've been reluctant to say that outright over the time here in ACW despite one or two people suggesting I should. I don't want it to look like I'm campagining for a postion of power here, especially given my GWF history <_< That said, I do spend a whole lot of time on here. I know TJ mentioned a few pages ago how I hadn't been replying to his messages quickly, and I feel horrible about that. One thing I've always prided myself on has been trying to reply back to messages quite quickly, and I'm working to fix that again. Apologies to TJ cause it's really not like me to forget to reply for days As for the reboot, it could be an interesting idea, but I worry it would only be a superficial change. It might motivate people to write for a short while, but if the larger problems don't change, then that motivation will disappear as well. How would it work though? Would we have our characters killed in the explosion? Or maybe we could decide if they simply went missing? Would people be allowed to carry on characters if they so wanted?

How would it work though? Would we have our characters killed in the explosion? Or maybe we could decide if they simply went missing? Would people be allowed to carry on characters if they so wanted? Well, seeing as how it was my suggestion, even if Jonny posted it on the boards first I figure I may as well lay down my thoughts and people could agree disagree with them. What I thought was that the island goes bang but we all live etc, but with Gingerdude's riches tied up in the Island that is now gone, he's bankrupt. Wanting to save jobs, someone (I think honestly if Senator is willing to commit to writing this it should be him) steps up and saves us all our jobs by deciding to fund ACW which leads to the travelling show. However due to all the legal wrangling involved with Ginger owning the ACW intellectual properties, we're forced to make new belts, and do a few other changes, providing a kayfabe excuse for everything. That would lead to the champions being stripped of their titles and new ones being instituted, either they could be handed to old champions or my first thought was to make a tournament for the belts, maybe eight people for each if we decide to take two belts, culminating at our first PPV back, which would be Ragnarok in a co-main event feature. I don't know how this would work with the calcs system, maybe have the first show back not have any tournament ramifications and modify the calcs for it for the first month to allow each and every person to compete for the belts. People however would also have the option to retire their characters (something I'd seriously consider if we did this) and bring in new characters if they choose, it wouldn't matter. Everything would still be canon that has occurred etc. So Dave and I would still be bitter enemies. I'm sure there's more that needs to be worked out, but if we do decide for a "restart" what I would personally like to suggest is we cease activity for now, forgetting about Winters Discontent and preparing for the "re-start" I'd propose maybe a New Years Bizarro show which would end with the island blowing up if that's the course we decide. In the mean time the time we'd spend writing, show organizing etc. could be spent getting things ready for the rebirth, the website, advertisements, getting in contact with future feud partners and making sure we don't rush into this and make it go off without a hitch.

I think the idea is for people to be able to carry on their characters. The whole ACW Island explosion would be a great way to start off the reboot and it would support the idea Flamingo had about new NPCs as the old ones could be killed off in the explosion. We'd just need to find a reason for most people to be off the Island at the same time.

No need to kill off characters, we simply have a collapse of the Arena, and Ginger doesn't have money to carry on, thus, the fed restarts wtih new management.

I guess I missed that in my post, re-reading it, but my idea for the Christmas bizzaro show is that everyone is back home with their family' etc. and that way there's a logical explanation for them being gone and because Gingerdude etc. live there, they get bye byed. Also, if we re-structure the NPC's, we need face and heel commentators. I'd volunteer for any committee on the NPC's...hell I'd volunteer for anything.

Come on Senator...you've got to admit that blowing up the island would be sick...and just think, all the skeletons under the concrete would be blown to smithereens as well.

I also think Rena would work as an authority figure (Even if Codys suggestion was sarcastic), with a storyline of her and Senny funding it and eventully having a falling out over it leading to a team Senny (Heel) vs team Rena (Face) match with the winner taking a majority stake.

IF the idea went ahead, maybe it could be a story which ran over the show? So, there's some reason given at the start or near the end of the show where people need to get off the island before it blows. Then, it's up to everyone whether or not their characters survive the explosion or the fire which destroys the island?
Also, if needs be, Shadow could still have some money lying round from GWF, as well as a castle island on standby >_>

There is no need to ditch Winter's Discontent CP. We have a winter break anyways, so why dont we just do this all over that break. We dont need to extend said break by an extra two weeks.

I demand the island sink.
Just so if we needed to, we could dive under water to retrieve stuff instead of it all blowing into smithereens.
...too much?
