BoomKing Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hello everybody. This is something I posted on the diary preview thread and think it would be something worth pursuing. So I had an idea but not sure how viable it is or whether people would be interested. Basically its a relay diary. Somebody starts a game using whatever mod and writes the first show. They then pass the results of the second show onto somebody else who the writes the second show and so on. Perhaps it could be a watcher type diary to avoid any booking arguements. I think it would be a great community project and would showcase the wide range of styles of writing we have. No two shows would be the same. Plus nobody has to commit beyond one show. Id be more than happy to start the ball rolling and do the majority of legwork but only if there is a genuine interest from at least five or more of you. Let me know what you guys think! So if people are interested please either PM me or post in here. This is a total democracy so majority rules on everything. The first major decision to make I guess would be whether this should be real world or CVerse or any other kind of mod or time period. As a real world writer myself, my suggestion would be to do a real world diary...but perhaps with a new promotion that we create? Perhaps we could all chose like 5-10 modern day wrestlers we would like to see in a promotion and the most popular guys make the cut? Like I say this is just an idea and everybody is welcome and encouraged to make their own suggestions. I'm sure between us we could make this something special! Look forward to your feedback guys and gals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeel1 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I could see myself doing the occassional show, yeah..but how would we decide who does the next show? Maybe just set the list via order of entry, and take turns going down it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolinc Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'm in. As for what promotion we do, how about a fed from the World of Immortals mod. Gives us the creativity of the C-Verse because of it's fictional nature, but it uses "real world" workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can shave myself without much trouble, but thanks for offering. So right now it'd be, 1. BoomKing 2. Zeel1 3. foolinc Given the Diary Preview thread response, I wouldn't think we'd have much trouble meeting the 5-writer-quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 On the fence. A community project sounds cool, and chiming in with a 'Self-style' episode could have good novelty value. Real world really doesn't do much for me, but who knows? I'll read, and if something strikes my fancy maybe I'll get involved down the line.

BoomKing Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I promise I'll shave anybody who contributes to this...for free! I'm in.

Great idea sir. I officially endorse this suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeel1 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 You know, it occurs to me that with vets like BK and foolinc, and Self if he does join, working on the project, that joining in would be a great way for rookie writers to get themselves some exposure..this diary could be a Star Maker, and I ain't talking Troy Tornado.

Hopefully this is what will make this interesting, anybody can join in at any time. Hopefully people will read and want to get involved as this thing evolves.

Right, it could be cool for those that read a certain diary's storyline and think, "Oooh, I've got a great idea for how this could go!", they could actually put that to use..

You can give it a go and if you don't want to carry on then thats fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeel1 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I to would like to join, but want to sit it out to wait and see how it goes. Could understand that, myself I think there'd be a lot of pressure on the first (or first few) ones to post a show, as they're setting the baseline stories for everyone else to build upon.

Well what do people think? Should we let the computer decide the matches and results and we write up the results, or should we book it ourselves and just feed off each others shows?

Should we let the computer decide the matches and results and we write up the results, or should we book it ourselves and just feed off each others shows? I say that we book it all. Lord knows my strengths don't include match write ups. Without storylines and promos, I'd be sunk. Besides I think between you, Zeel, and me we can set up a pretty solid base for the rest of the diary. I would also be cool with you running the first number of shows to set everything up for Zeel and me to derail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I wasn't saying we shouldn't feed off each others shows, that's the coolest part of this concept, in my view. I was just saying that there would be some pressure for those that start it off, as if the first shows and set of feuds suck, then that would make it a bit tough to get things going from there. But with me, you and foolinc starting it out, I don't think there's much cause for concern there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomKing Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hopefully it would be kind of ever evolving, just run unchained storylines and let people be brought in and out as and when. Everybody has their favourites. I guess the goal would be to put on kick ass shows rather than worry about whose over and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Orange Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I could write a show if it was C-Verse. If not then I wouldn't, for me it is near impossible to book a real world worker without doing his real character. And then you'd have to ask, what promotion? I'd say we should make a "super-promotion" With some of the most over wrestlers, some of the most talented wrestlers and some of the biggest characters.

They are all Super Feds. We really can't go wrong with one of those feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'd be tempted to get on board with this. Strongly agree that WotI is a really good idea as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefmoon Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I love you, BoomKing. I think this is a brilliant diea. Obviously I'm not great with being able to do a diary when people are expecting it (see FMTA, Titnas...) but I bloody love this idea. I can't guarantee that i will be up able to do a show, but I would love to get invovled with it. Consider me a "probably". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomKing Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for the continued support with this guys. Its cool for so many of my favourite writers to express their interest, and I'm sure the endorsement of the likes of Keef, Mystery and Jaded will encourage others to jump in too! I appreciate that nobody wants to commit jsut yet, but let me reiterate, I think that the beauty lies in the fact that people can jump in whenever they want, whenever they have a bit of spare time or a want to get involved. I understand that there may be a split between people who want to run a real world mod and those who want to keep it C-verse. So perhaps to avoid alienating people who may want to get involved, how would people feel about running one of each? Or should we just stick to one? Are there any objections to running this with the WotI mod? If not, do people want to start suggesting a promotion? Like I say I want to make sure that everybody gets a say here. A persons a person, no matter how small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 It might help if it was explained what the WotI mod actually is. I'm not in the mood to go searching around for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
