Booking

[torak]

Anyone have any thoughts on pre-booking the shows rather than allowing challenges to be made.

It makes things much more organized and rivalries and storylines can be built up much better when matches are booked beforehand.

Of course this would require people to job on occassions to help a storyline/feud progress. It also increases the workrate of management so maybe someone could be hired as a booker (or even a booker for each show). I know I am very capable of booking well and would throw my name into the hat if considered.

Any thoughts/opinions?

not a good idea..it eliminates the freedom to really get what you want when you want

Yeah, with all respect Torak, I actually think the way things are now is as good as it can be. The work is spread about and there's a real reason to tune into the shows, that being finding out if you've won or lost the match.

Torak got burned in the nicest way possible. Otherwise, they've got a point. I like it the way it is now.

Nothing wrong with the way it is at all. I asked for opinions and I got them.

Just throwing out some suggestions.

Just to give you a mod's POV. Even though we know booking would be a lot easier for schedules and our head writer Ak I don't think it should be done. The thing that can happen is that a person is booked in matches that he or she doesn't like he may choose to leave. More could follow and we do not want that. So we let people request their matches and it has worked well. Again that is not to say Booking would work. In fact it would work very well but I am not sure it would be accepted by all. Plus sometimes we are forced to book two people in a match due to no one else available. Also a lot of the times match requests from the member are done for storyline reasons.

Don't be disheartened by this either Torak. It was a good idea, so try a couple more on us, and one may work.

Just to add to this a little, it is perfectly possible for two (or more) people who wish to feud to request a match where the result is predetermined. The only caveat to this is, if you need a specific match on a specific show, you need to get in contact with either Ginger or myself as soon as possible so that we can reserve a space on the card for that show.
If you want a "fixed" match of any kind all parties MUST pm Ginger or myself to confirm they are happy with that arrangement. If you are trying to build momentum for your character(s) in the run up to, say, a PPV, then it's possible other members will allow their characters to job to yours - however, you should be perpared to return the favour at some point.
