No one can be as badass as ACW's ONLY 3 time Entertainment Champion.
On topic note: I tended to lose passion constantly when I had nothing to really focus on. My passion would fire up fast but die out quickly when I sat down and tried to figure out where things would lead. I was heavily interested in becoming ACW champion but never had confidence in my writing to think I would make it to the top of the ladder.

...fuck it.
I'm not meaning to be obnoxious, but if people put the same effort into actually participating in the shows as they do talking about whether or not they're going to happen... then ACW wouldn't be in peril. Seriously, people - and I'm lookin' at you especially, VorteX, since you put out a LOT of text - is no one else seeing this?

now it's just a zombie with people running it out of pity. I'm tired of seeing you post these 'OMG is ACW dead yet?' topics every four months...obviously about a total of four people still care, that should be blatantly obvious it's dead. ACW was simply a tight knit community for a while there, and somewhere along the line it began to shift to what it is today...and that is another dead Efed. This is the only part I agree with. The rest just seeks to illustrate how much of a ginormous dickweed VorteX actually is. This

Writing out what you are thinking about yourself is alot harder than writing what a fictional character does, thinks, reacts, etc. This is a conversation while a segment/RP/promo is a script that needs to make sense.

*tosses a quarter in the swear jar with a grumble*
And while that is true, TJ... just what is e-fedding, anyway, but people arguing? Sure, they're fictional people - but what this game often comes down to is out-arguing your opponent.

TJ, I hope you're not on the hate bandwagon too (I took it that way as you quoted both Mainer and myself). I'll take the heat, as I really don't care...I'm not going to sit here and say 'oh ACW will be ok again!' when it hasn't been ok in over a year. That was the intent of my original reply, everything after that was addressing that unneeded 'observation' by Laron (whoever that is), and then the 'me too' replies from CP and Mainer.
Kris, there is no reason for me to try anymore. I gave a lot of effort towards that ET run and look at what I get for it, blind hate by some alt and the usual Mainer reply. It's just not worth it. I considered a few times coming back and trying to recapture the ET belt as I really do like it...but it's pointless in this kind of atmosphere.

If I may... have you ever noticed that you give off hostility yourself? I'm not saying that Mainer and the alt-that-I'm-not-familiar-with are completely absolved of blame, but neither are you. Have you tried mending those fences? Perhaps tried to not come off as so stand-offish?

Kris, I think you are missing the entire reason I'm angry, and that isn't surprising since we somehow derailed into events that happened last year. Let me break this down: And bitching about how CP lost the title and then not defending it for four months after you won it had nothing to do with it? This lovely reply is what prompted any hostility I may have supplied in return. I left long after I lost the ET belt...as in three or four months, so making it seem like I left over some drama regarding the ET belt is just stupid. Not to mention this is some pointless--and bitter--shot at me from some random person I don't know. When my integrity is attacked, I tend to get a little angry. Then we get this lovely gem from CP: Mainer was right, Vortex, Laron's observations based on the proven facts are true and your response was not necessary. This, while sounding intelligent, carries an under meaning that really pissed me off. Basically, CP called my entire run 'terrible' despite the obvious rank gap that existed at that time. We had the SLA split, and that left either WHC contenders or blatant newcomers with no calcs that did not want to feud when asked (as they were new) and feuded with eachother. So that left me with no competition, it's not as if the board was thriving and I was sitting there going 'look at me, I have a belt!'. I knew there was some sneaky stuff going on for the past year or so, but man this blows me away. To honestly have people sit there and be fake to my face and then it come out like this is crazy, especially when I did nothing to prompt it. If someone had a problem with my reign they should have manned up a long time ago, not wait a year and then go 'oh yeah that was really bad'...it just makes you sound like a jackass.

I admittedly wasn't around for that, so I can't really pass judgment either way. What I can point out, though, is that two wrongs do not make a right. It might just pay off if you were the bigger man.
...or woman. One never knows on the internet, these days. ^^;

Nah, I'm not hating on you I was just too lazy to edit any post.
and e-fedding is fun and a hobby. Its when people start to take it like it's an actual job thats when people start to argue. For me efedding shortly became something like a job after OE. It was something similar to the WHC curse here. I felt like as the guy who built up the crucible basically by himself and won it, I was almost expected to put out great production week in week out and anything less than 3 promos was bad.

I should point out that although I have been keeping up with this topic, the reason I've not weighed in is that I feel despite my mod status, I've not really been an active part of the actual incharacter section for quite some time. There's multiple reasons for that, most of which have been discussed in the past and which I won't go into at this time. As such, I dont believe I can sit here and say whether the place should keep going or nto (I made that decision once and seemed to make quite a few enemies over it <_<). The decision is ultimatly up to those who are active.
I will say that squabbling and infighting is not going to solve anything. If the decision is made to keep going or allow ACW to die, it should be one made in rational and friendly ways. Blame is not going to fix any problems and could taint memories we have of ACW. If the site does go and if it does die, let's not go out in a blaze of hatred, resentment and finger-pointing.
Truth is, there's no one reason ACW has slowly drifted off. There's multiple, complicated reasons. So turning this topic into a "whodunit" is only going to cause more problems in the long term.
Discuss the problem at hand...

I don't really know what to say about anything.
I've got the time, the passion, and the motivation, but not the health.
Everyone's been polite to me, but I'll say what's been thought. I've been useless in every capacity since I got sick over three years ago. It utterly destroyed my hands and I've been mooching off of my legacy ever since, when I had no right to.
But ACW is the only thing I'm proud of. ACW is my friends, my family, and my life.
I want to help. I don't know how. Tell me how I can help, please.
***
I did have two thoughts, but they're minor, really.
1. No match should be left unwritten anymore. If it hasn't been submitted by show time, simply write who won with what move. No more blanks.
2. If I may ask, who is Kris? New member, old member, real girl, fake girl? I've always been best at girls and I may have storyline we can do together.
