Generations (C-Verse)

[Actarus]

Oh man, these are tough times indeed! Before I begin my senseless babble, your previous posts were quite excellent! Onto babbling; you've firmly established that you feel a connection to these characters, so my question is this: what's the next story you want to tell? Perhaps the next story flowing through your head does NOT involve Jerilynn or the Stones (or does; I'm being hypothetical). Your answer will help guide you on your next path. If your dynasty writing future is in the Stones (no pun intended), then I say do a time-skip. Write an ending to this part of the story, then when TEW 2008 comes out, continue your new story arc. If you have a new story idea you're dying to write that does not involve the Stones or invovles a brand new promotion altogether, then write an ending here that satisfies you and move on. That's my two cents. Keep up the great work. Latah.

[praguepride]

I vote to cut back on the wrestling write ups. Keep the promos with the same full flavor, but after a year (real time) of reading about elbows and clotheslines, I can gather the jist of the match from a simple write up. If there's some important storytelling or spots, feel free to expound on them but otherwise simple is just fine with me.

[theoutlaw321]

[QUOTE=Wallbanger;367967] Here's what I see are viable options. [LIST] [*]Write the epilogue to this story and give the dynasty a proper ending. Perhaps that means I start a new dynasty at some future point in this savegame's future. Perhaps that means I start a new diary with a different company, or even a real-world diary.[/LIST][LIST] [*]Just jump forward to the point in time that I want to, with a big "Interlude" post to cover things like title changes, comings and goings, etc.[/LIST][LIST] [*]Go into "superfast-forward" mode and just summarize key events for the next few months using a DVD "Year in Review" kind of format, then pick back up with full shows later on with a much narrower gap.[/LIST][LIST] [*]Go into "fast-forward" mode and trim back the show writeups to a style more like Welcome to the Coastal Zone or MWA - This Means War! in order to get through shows faster, and continue to focus on backstory character development.[/LIST][LIST] [*]Keep the current style of show writeups and continue as normal, but de-emphasize the backstory now that JeriLynn's an established character.[/LIST][LIST] [*]Stop playing/modding that damn Mafia game and spend that time keeping this dynasty up in its current format/style! (ok, this isn't a likely choice... :p )[/LIST][LIST] [*]Something I haven't thought of yet?[/LIST]So what would you like to see? I would really appreciate your thoughts.[/QUOTE] Seems we are both at crossroads? Of course mine is in 1983 and I have stalled there for what 3 months? lol Seriously, I would hate to see this end so with whichever way you decide to turn; the story must go on. Please! As with most questions such as this, usually the answer is already in the authors head. It is your story. You know what you want to tell. If it means fast forwarding thru months of shows then that is fine with me. If it can be accomplished by scaling back on the writeups and streamlining them until you get to the point that the next big story takes place then that is what needs to happen. I'm along for the ride. I have enjoyed it tremendously so far. I look forward to the continuation of the story. Now, what to do about these yearnings to get mine started again that you have stirred up? (??Hint>Forshadowing>??)

[rdsinclair]

Banger, I have spent the last several days slowly reading though and enjoying this diary, I believe it was Outlaw who said this is a hidden gem, and it's true. The backstory is brilliant and really makes it come to life in your mind, I'd hate to see that de-emphasized. So with this in mind and my desire to see what story you have cooking up in the brilliant head of yours next I would cast my vote to the fast-forward or superfast-forward options, so that you can get up to where you want to be.

[foolinc]

I'd go with the "jump forward" option. I'd rather you be able to fully explain a feud and other event through flash backs than summary everything.

[Astil]

Banger, From the begining I have said that your backstage posts are what make this dynasty shine above the rest in my eyes. If you have more personalization you can put into it, then go for it. If you need to focus on in the arena action, then you're damn good at that. In my opinion, keep on trucking like you have been, just with less backstage stuff. At least until the next great, amazing storyline pops into your head.

[G-Prime]

Mate, I just read this from start to finish, and I've got to say, it's pretty damn awesome. I'm not a huge fan of the C-Verse, but this and Monkeypox's DaVE diary have got me into it majorly, and I've started playing. As for the future, I'd stay stop playing Mafia, but that's not going to happen :P... Perhaps skipping ahead would be the best bet.

[praguepride]

So, what's the final word, wallbanger?

[Wallbanger]

Oh my, a diversity of opinions. You all are no help. :D On a more serious note, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I really do appreciate it. I think I'll go with some level of fast-forward for the shows and still do my backstage writeups to bridge some of the gaps. I also had Payne make up a DVD cover for the upcoming portion of the diary, which I'm quite pleased with. I'll write up some scenes for that as well.

[Wallbanger]

I had joined Grandpa in his customary skybox at Canadian Air Centre after showering and watched the second half of Super Slam with him; besides the excellent view of the floor from our box, we had the live PPV feed and monitors tied to the primary camera angles. As Uncle Sean staggered up the ramp, giving high fives to the fans along the railings as the show faded to black, I turned to Grandpa. [COLOR=red]"Do you think I did the right thing?"[/COLOR] Grandpa smiled. [COLOR=blue]"If I thought you were making a serious mistake, I wouldn't have let you do it, my dear."[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]"What a lovely manner you have of answering the question by not answering the question,"[/COLOR] I replied with only a hint of seriousness. [COLOR=red]"I mean it, Grandpa. If I were in Johnny's boots, I'm not sure how happy I would be."[/COLOR] Grandpa took a drink from his water bottle. [COLOR=blue]"Johnny is a professional. He handled the news like a professional."[/COLOR] That much was true. When I was convinced that I was losing Cliff, I re-wrote my mid-range Heavyweight Title storyline. I had intended to have Dark Angel chase the title for another month before winning it at Grappling Glory, then letting him run with the title at least through the summer. As I started to de-push Dark Angel, I had to consider who was going to step up into that #1 Contender's spot and take the strap off Uncle Sean. I knew it wasn't going to be R.K. -- I really do like him and he's well over, but MY top title holder has to be able to go at minimum 20 minutes in the ring, if not 30, and R.K. can't do that. No one else was in a position to step up other than Johnny. As far as I was concerned he was ready for a run at the title; he had consistently delivered top quality matches with the rest of the main event roster. His overness in Canada was making progress and his US overness was coming along even faster -- though it was still one and a half full grades below his Canadian pop. That was perhaps the only real knock against him, but we hadn't seen any real slowdown in the growth of his appeal and if it did top out we would have adjusted. And so I'd used last month's PPV as the setup for this match, where I had planned for Uncle Sean to put Johnny over and let him have his first main event level title run. When Cliff came back with the news that he was going to let his Japanese contracts expire and he wanted to revisit a long-term deal with us, it left me with a tough choice. Do I continue to move forward with a Bloodstone title run, and if so, what do I do with Dark Angel? Even with as much as I had de-pushed him he was still more popular than Johnny was and his dark, brooding gimmick was really beginning to take hold once I'd figured out how to balance it right with the audience. Cliff and Sean had been putting on Match of the Year candidates left and right, and Cliff could do that with almost anyone in the top half of the roster. He was the more talented, more popular heel, and if anyone was going to take the title off Uncle Sean after a year-long run, it made much more sense for it to be Cliff than Johnny. So I went to Johnny the night before Super Slam and told him I was changing the booking. I said I didn't want his first title run to be a transitional or otherwise artificially short run, doing that might be worse than not getting the title at all for his career, which was true. While he took the news in stride, I still felt like a chump for taking the opportunity away from him at the last minute. Perhaps sensing what I was thinking, Grandpa offered, [COLOR=blue]"They know as well as you do that as creative director, you have to adapt to a fluid situation. Some of the best storylines I ever came up with were blown to hell along with shredded knee ligaments, torn pectoral muscles and doubly distended anuses -- don't ask about that last one, please. You've made a choice, it's a perfectly acceptible choice, now stop feeling sorry for yourself, act like you run the place and get on about it."[/COLOR] At that point, Uncle Duane and Kirk walked into the skybox. [COLOR=darkgreen]"Dad, you almost done with JeriLynn? Vicki and I were thinking about going over to Greektown for our favorite baklava and we wanted to drag the kids along."[/COLOR] [COLOR=purple]"Gee, thanks for letting us tag along, Duane,"[/COLOR] Kirk said playfully as he gave Duane a small shove. Duane returned the favor by mussing Kirk's shoulder length hair. [COLOR=blue]"Shouldn't be too much longer,"[/COLOR] Grandpa said. [COLOR=blue]"Just remember we have the Children's Hospital visit at 10am tomorrow so please don't be enjoying your 'baklava' all night."[/COLOR] Duane laughed. [COLOR=darkgreen]"You know me much too well, Dad. Besides, it's not the baklava you need to worry about, it's the ouzo I plan to chase it down with."[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"At least now you're being honest, my boy."[/COLOR]

[quote] OOC: Here's my first take at a 'fast-forward' format, condensing one full week of shows into a 'DVD' chapter. I think doing this, and then full writeups of the PPV's, interchanged with continued backstage development would let me get through the summer pretty quickly. Please let me know what you think -- does this format work for you?

Maybe I just noticed that, but Kirk finally picked himself up a win. How are his stats doing?

[Wallbanger]

At that point (April 2007) he had managed to raise some stats up to F, but most were still in the F- range. Each match he seems to pick up a fraction of a point and nothing appears to have topped out yet.

After Emma and Grace went at it for a minute or so, Grace tagged in Melody, who proceeded to go to town on Emma until Stephanie distracted her allowing Emma to take the advantage and isolate Melody. Grace would try to get involved, but each time she tried to get in to save her partner, the official would push her back to the corner, during which time Emma, Stephanie and Gorgon would all get their shots in. Finally Melody started to mount a comeback and planted Stephanie with a DDT. Crawling to her corner she desperately strained to reach the outstretched hand of Grace, but at the very last moment, Grace pulled her hand back and jumped off the ring apron! A few seconds later a freshly tagged Emma grabbed Melody by the hair and dished out The Payback for the win.[/I] [B]Bitch Clique defeated Grace Harper and Melody Cuthill in 10:16 when Stephanie Hazel defeated Grace Harper by pinfall.

The Bitch Clique runs the show now. And now it's time to make sure you never forget that.[/COLOR] [B][I][The four Bitch Clique members proceed to beat down Melody.][/I][/B] [B]Tommy London:[/B] [COLOR=red]No!

Hitting the ring both Stones immediately go after Gorgon, hittng her with a double spear that sends her rolling out of the ring. Hazel and Harper go after Victoria and Bitch goes after JeriLynn, but after a few traded blows the fresh Stones get the upper hand and all three Bitch Clique members bail out of the ring.

Nice, it reminds me of a storyline I wrote up that I could never use about the entire roster being divided into a civil war. I'll try and get it up and running in '08, I don't have time in my current dynasty :(

[theringmaster]

I just finished reading this from front to back last night actually, and I love it. I just wanted to say that. Keep up the good work man. I LOVE those DVD covers those are awesome! Great way to fast forward. I have you now bookmarked. [SIZE="1"]CHEAP PLUG!....... Happy Pills........ CHEAP PLUG![/SIZE] :)

[Wallbanger]

Many thanks, ringmaster! Glad folks are liking the condensed format. I know I mentioned it before, but credit for the DVD cover goes to the boards' resident graphics master, Payne.

[I][COLOR=black]Friday, Week 4, April 2007[/COLOR][/I] [I][COLOR=black]Saint Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota (Mid West)[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=black]It always sends a chill down the spines of everyone in the locker room when you hear the ambulance leave the arena and you know it isn't a work. When it happens in an early match it impacts the entire tone of the show, and tonight was no exception. Everyone struggled to keep focused, even the veterans, and we turned in a subpar performance as a result. That, however, was one of the furthest things from my mind as I pulled into the visitor's lot at the hospital. It had been raining steadily all afternoon and hadn't let up yet and we were soaked by the time we got to the main entrance.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Kirk and I walked into the lobby along with those whose travel plans allowed them to stay; all in all Aunt Vickie, Grace Haprer, Alison Rush (Gorgon), Chris Perkins (Insane Machine), Kashmir Singh, Steve Flash, and Damian Carvill had followed us after the show. The charge nurse seemed a bit surpised and perhaps a bit miffed to see the nine of us, dripping wet in front of her.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black][COLOR=darkred]"Pardon us, ma'am,"[/COLOR] Kirk addressed the nurse in that distinctive Scandanavian-American accent that dominated this part of the country, [/COLOR][COLOR=darkred]"but we're looking for Tamara McFly. She came in by ambulance about three hours ago. Is she able to see visitors yet?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]"I'll need to call back to the ER and check on her status. It may take a few minutes, please make yourself comfortable in the meantime."[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]We settled into the comfy chairs and couches you find in most hospital lobbies and waited for additional word. I sat down next to Aunt Vickie, who was on her cell phone with Uncle Sean back in Halifax filling him in on the current situation. After a minute or two she finished her conversation and we both sat silently for a moment.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Just then Grace came up to us and bent down so her head was level with ours. [/COLOR][COLOR=green]"Can you guys come and talk to Alison? She's taking this pretty hard."[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Indeed, that appeared to be the case when we sat down beside Alison in the corner -- her eyes were red from crying and despite her size she looked uncomfortably timid as she looked at us.[/COLOR] [COLOR=sienna]"Victoria, JeriLynn, I-I'm so sorry--I've never hurt someone like th-that before. I know you don't know me very well and I know I'm used to the harder hitting stuff in Japan, but I really thought I'd d-dialed it back, honest--"[/COLOR] [COLOR=black][COLOR=purple]"Hey, hey now,"[/COLOR] Aunt Vickie said reassuringly. [/COLOR][COLOR=purple]"Alison, look at me. I watched the whole thing from the back. Yes, you put her down hard with that release spinning powerbomb, but I didn't think you did it unsafely."[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Gorgon's Hydra Bomb is an impressive finisher; few women have the strength to pull it off properly and Alison is one of them. When I asked her about it after we first met, she jokingly attributed it to all the bales of hay she had to help stack growing up on her parents' central Missouri farm. This night, however, instead of Tammy landing on her back like she was supposed to, she landed squarely on her tailbone, which took all the impact shock and left her in excruciating pain.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]I was about to add my two cents of reassurance to Alison when we were interrupted by one of the doctors.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"Good evening folks, I'm Doctor Andersen. You're all here for Ms. McFly?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=black][COLOR=red]"Yes, yes we are, Doctor,"[/COLOR] I replied as I turned to face him. Everyone pressed in to hear the news. [/COLOR][COLOR=red]"Can we see her now?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]"I'm afraid not, she's under sedation and is resting at the moment. However, I have good news -- the x-rays show no broken bones and no disc damage. So really, all she has is a VERY sore bottom. We'll keep her overnight for observation, but we'll release her in the morning. I'd suggest, though, that she not do anything strenuous for at least the next two to three days."[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]You could feel the tension dissapate from the room as he spoke, knowing Tammy had gotten lucky, but sometimes luck was all you had in this business. Alison especially seemed relieved, as did Victoria, who quickly grabbed her phone to let Uncle Sean know his sister would be ok. Each of us took a moment to shake the doctor's hand and thank him personally.[/COLOR]

Dude, lucky break with Tamara right there. Long term injuries or injuries you could retire from are always the worst thing to happen to workers in a game, even worse it seems then leaving your company. I'm loving the round-up style right now, seeing as it's pretty obvious it would be hard to keep going at the pace you were going. I don't know if I've commented before but I've been reading for quite a while so keep it up!

[Greg McNeish]

Great to see you back in action, Banger. I'm loving the condensed version. It's got all the important stuff, without burning you - or us - out. I'm really happy to see that you're keeping the backstage stuff. That's what's always set this apart from other dynasties, and it's always a pleasure to read. Cheers!

She's the least skilled worker in the company, man or woman. That being said, she has good chemistry with a couple of folks and never turns in a really bad performance (unlike some of the "high potential" women on the roster), which makes her a great jobber for the division. She works cheap (probably mooches off her brother a lot) and rarely complains. Officially she had a distended anus, which of course is nothing like what I put in the entry, but I wasn't about to try and write it for accuracy. Injury Realism in TEW08 FTW!!! :D

Congrats on the nomination for C-Verse OTM. Good luck although it's going to be tough competing against all the DotY's that have stacked the card.

Just finished reading from the top. And. This is nothing short of magnificent. I can truly appreciate all the time and effort you've put into this. Thank you for giving us all the experience of reading through it.
