I feel that this would be a great idea, and allow for people to have a sort of an archive for their promos, call people out for the next PPV, and generally expand their character. I personally would get get great mileage out of such a space.

well, we aren't like most e-feds where we just post our roleplays and most people dont look at them....we show our promo's and segments in our shows...just read a few warfares or meltdowns an you'll see

It would be a good idea. I mean, the in-character areas aren't really meant for promos, giving the only true opportunity to do so when a show takes place. I second the senator's statement. It's obviously not required, but it would be nice.

Im not saying that its teh sux idea or anything, but im leaning more towards disagreement on this. ACW does a good job of keeping almost all in-character, in-story, in-everything stuff, such as promos and segments, on the shows themselves. If people started posting promos elsewhere, then (im not saying this is a fact, just predicting) they might start not sending in as many segments/promos for the show. And what makes ACW so great is that everything happens on a show, you get chunks at a time, and its run like a real fed might be run. Sure, there are the in-character boards, but thats usually just for shits and giggles.
All I'm really trying to say that in the spirit of ACW, we should keep all the important stuff to the shows themselves.
I also dont wanna sound like an ass and make everyone think my opinion is right or anything... dammit im rambling...

Ok coming from a mod's point a view, note this doesn't make anything final at all, but I think Senator that is a good idea but Amo brought up a good point. All of what we are in terms of promos, storylines, character development all deals with the shows. It's what makes our show 10 times better than they could have been if it is just matches. Not that the matches aren't great, don't hurt me Ak  ! Anyways I think it's a good idea but at the same time it's not needed. Our shows really serve that purpose. |

I don't. I love the idea in this fed that you aren't required to write segments, and that by writing them it doesn't give you an advantage or anything. They're written to improve storylines

And also, we usually have a show a couple of days before a PPV exclusively to calling people out (though it isn't being used much)

Hmm. OK, these are my thoughts on this topic, since it seems to be attracting plenty of debate.
In principle I have no problem with their being a "promo" room for people to post stuff up as and when it suits them. However, as several people here have already said, we try and operate this fed on very much a "show by show" basis; while we have in - character boards and such a promo, or an event, is only deemed to have actually occured in terms of the overall "story" of the fed if it takes place on one of the three shows.
Just to deviate for a moment, I'd like to make it clear that participation of any kind in the fed, be it writing promos, or posting on the boards, increases your chances of victory in a match - quite simply, we decided that it would be totally unfair to have a person go absent for several weeks without explanation, then swan back in and flatten their first opponent just because they happen to hold a higher "rank". While rank of course plays a part in match decisions it has a much smaller role than that given to it in some other feds.
However, we're not idiots, so anyone who thinks that they can win every match by spamming the boards with crap or writing 100 - line promos that make no sense or are just plain DULL is wasting their time. The mods spend enough time here working to spot that a mile away, so don't waste your time or ours.
So in essence match decisions are a careful mix of quantitative and qualitative measures. There's no such thing as a flawless system, but so far I think we've managed reasonably well, and if anyone feels that a match decision was unusual or has any other concerns they are always welcome to discuss it with any of the mods.
Anyway, back to the main issue being discussed. If we were to have a promo board, it would be considered as a "developmental" arena for people to try out ideas, and work on thier characters without having to fit into the ongoing show storylines. However, any "actions" that take place on this board would not be considered as having actually taken place - all formal story progression would still be done on the shows, and ONLY on the shows (Real life wrestlers are perfectly capable of doing all their to - camera stuff once or twice a week, so there's no practical reason why we shouldn't be the same). People would also be able to comment on your promo style and such, however the mods would keep an eye on things to make sure that criticism remains constructive, and does not degenerate into "your promo suckz LOL" stupidity.
In conclusion, then, the question of whether you want a promo board is entirely up to you; the above is just a "product description" of what you'd be getting.

Unless you guys really want it I don't see how it would be needed, as far as promos go then as AK said they need to take place on the show and I think that as far as building your character goes the in character areas are sufficient.
So unless theres a surge of intereset on this board being made I don't think its going to happen.
