I think Kris was talking about segments. But regardless... All I'm saying is that ur a newer guy and he is a number one contender. It would be more one sided. I understand itt wasn't what u were expecting but I would suggest in the future if some one writes ur match, send them a pm with spots you want in and some key charcter points Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Thanks. I guess I'm being a bit immature. Sorry for the blow up, everyone. I kinda made the original post right after waking up. (Woke up earlier than usual, so I had time before I went to school.) Sorry, sorry Mainer, being immature.

As for the ET title.. I also want to know what happened to it as it is bog fair that it has not been here in weeks. Therefore.. If it has not returned by next warfare I will be laying out an official challenge for the title! Hmm.... As for the 'not showing up deal', I don't really get that mentality. If someone has a bad week and doesn't promo, you shouldn't automatically squash them the next week...it just doesn't make any sense. I haven't been following shows, so you are both new to me here. The calc system is in place so if you don't write, you usually don't win...however that shouldn't translate over to in-ring performance necessarily. Say you have a title holder, and some new guy...and the new guy writes 5 promos because he is excited, while the title holder only writes 2 to further a storyline or do something else. The new guy obviously shouldn't squash the title holder... In short, I think Buddy actually has a valid reason to be upset...although it looks like the issue has pretty much been resolved so I will put my two cents in and leave it at that.

A) I don't get the quoting of the ET thing? And B) as u said at the end it's already resolved so please just leave it that way. If you don't write or follow shows please do not cause problems

I quoted the 'ET thing' because I don't like my favorite belt sitting idle. I did a lot to try and make that thing worth something again. As for the second part, it's just my two cents...no need to get in an uproar.

I basically taken the last few weeks off, between recovering from a high fever a few weeks ago to a lack of care in fedding in general. I had a plan for the supercard, but I never got around to actually sending the segment in. The Ent title will be on this week. Sorry for devaluing the Ent Title Tex, I know you worked hard to get it back up. I put a loa too, so your bad on not seeing that Tex.

I am accustomed to people that no-show getting squashed since they couldn't make the time to even post a few-sentence something while their opponent usually put in full effort. The moment that both people show up, the squash doesn't happen - simple as that. As for the 'one guy writes five, the other guy writes two' thing, I've always been a firm believer of quality over quantity. Then again, I'm still getting used to this rolling number thing since I am accustomed to matches being judged individually... although from what I can tell, quality means more than quantity here.

Vortex..I'm sorry if I I came off harsh. I was so happy we solved a problem here without days of arguing and it was late when I read ur post and I thought u were trying to restart the problem. I didn't read the two cents thing at the end so i'm sorry I attacked you
TJ it's ok man.. I know I wasn't and I don't think Freeman was attacking you personnally just more looking for a day it would be back! I'm glad ur feeling better and I look forward to the return of the ET belt and champ!

Kris, while I understand what you're saying, I can say from experience that sometimes things come up, and people sometimes miss a week of writing. Just because somebody missed one show or whatever, itd be prett harsh to devalue their characters by having them be squashed. After all, the fact that they lost the match should be enough.

In the cases where something comes up that is beyond one's control - like a car accident, say, or one's spouse going into labor - then things should be arranged provided that the staff is at least informed about it. If said person has had the time to come onto the forums every day and had the time to shoot the shit in the OOC threads, though, then you bet your ass that they deserve the squash since, in that time, they could've put together a few-sentence something. It could be that I feel that way on the virtue of coming from places that take fedding seriously - too seriously, in some cases! - but I'm simply used to no-shows (again, without extenuating circumstances) being viewed as disrespectful, and being punished as such.

While I also think this way, I don't think this applies to ACW because this is not a show up each week if you want to win, type deal. What Kris said, is what I do in such feds, but ACW is more of a, I wanna say, realistic fed. Where if someone is not on the show the week before their match, they are not gonna get squashed. I know what you are saying Kris, so don't feel like you are talking to no one

Yeah...when getting in a car accident is one of the only 'legit' reasons to miss a show or face being squashed you know you are taking things way too seriously. It almost sounds like a power trip...I mean if someone misses a show, I can beat them one-sided! That will prove my dominance and show them!
So yeah, no offense but I know who I don't want writing my matches. I'm of the mindset that if you no-show, you probably are going to lose and that is enough.

Words I thought I would never say...I.Agree.With.Vortex. Wow that almost hurt to say! :-)
But yes, if you miss a show it will affect your calcs and you'll prob lose. It shouldnt be one sided because you missed. The penalty is losing...why add more penalty?
