A proposal for VCW/CPW

[minio]

I sincerely think the two feds should be merged. You could play it off by storyline too, since they share the Western/SouthWest territory. The problem is, each fed has about 6-8 active handlers. Combine them, and the merged organization would have atleast 14 or active handlers, more competition, more active forums, and it would be less confusing to newbies who are trying to figure out what fed to join.

When you have a fed that is completely based on a forum (ie: no website), you should have a new post in every general catagory daily. Both VCW and CPW are remarkably inactive when you consider the amount of wrestlers in each respective fed. You should combine the feds, and then create a base set of handler rules.

One Heavyweight, One Juniorweight, One Tag Team, per handler.

The roster would be much more fleshed out, people would be forced to only handle their best characters of each respective class. You would see much more character activity, more interesting fueds, and better cards overall.

You could also have two shows per week. One in LA, one in LV, and two house shows a week. Each respective owner would handle their respective show.

I could help with overall angle/fued layouts. There needs to be an order to the chaos.

The step that CPW/VCW needs to make to show they are the best NM fed on the web, is to combine a solid sim-fed with interesting characters, fueds, and angles.

Just a suggestion/observation from a long time angle fed and roleplayer.

IMHO, this is NOT very good suggestion. I like how the things are going here, in VCW. CPW is....it is very different.

[minio]

Thats a good point, however I think its somewhat rediculous how the roster has about 25 wrestlers, but only about 6 handlers. It really kills the potential in my opinion.

i have to agree with narvat. and i submitted Ryan to CPW as well. if they merged, Ryan would have a clone! Ryan and Ryan could win the tag belts!

[Narv]

But it is comfortable. For me, anyway. I'm new to the No Mercy e-fed thing, and it's a bit hard for me to take on even this tempo. But I like it's cozy climate.
Of course, it's only mine opinion.

Hmm, one good thing I know from myself when you have many characters is that you don't run out of storylines to quickly. Don't have an idea what you can do with your CAW ? Use the other one ! Don't know anything for him either ? Put them against each other ! And besides: The more the merrier, right ? ;D

[RyanBow412]

well, we got the AssLikeThat seal of approval ;D

[Chris]

Hehe ;D

[minio]

Personally, coming from a backround of angle feds, there really aren't storylines though. There are promo's being cut, but I've yet to see anything that I would consider a major fued or a story arc.

[RyanBow412]

well, the reason nothing TOO big is coming out of VCW is because VCW is a young federation. only a few months. give it some time to grow and we'll see some good stuff come from it! and it won't be weird brand name stuff like the Hogan Blender.

Coming soon! Water brand name water!!

*Crickets chirping*

I don't get paid enough for this sh[beep].

[Chris]

For a real story arc, this fed is a little bit to young. Give it time to grow, let the guys get more seasoned (I don't count, I'm here to help new guys ;D), and you get your major storylines. Look at CPW. We got our first real storyline after three to four months. So, just be patient, my friend

EDIT: Ah nuts, Ryanbow was quicker

[minio]

You could start a fed with story arcs, there just needs to be a wavelength to create them on. Perhaps a new forum section, each handler will have his own thread (similar to the roster pages) and they can list their characters, and who the character is fueding with, and the overall planned story arc. People could search on there, find characters that are looking for something similar (a face looks for a heel, etc etc) and then they could contact that handler to discuss starting a fued.

This is extremely unlikely. Devlin runs CPW and I run VCW. Although we have worked well together in the past on things, I don't see a merger going smoothly. We have different tastes and different ideas. It would be hell trying to combine both feds and come to a suitable balance.

CPW also has a number of moderators who do quite a bit, and probably wouldn't be too happy with me coming in as another top dog.

In addition there would then be something like ten championships. That's way too many and most of them are too new to warrant merging them into other championships.

Ryan, if both feds merged there woul donly be one ryan since it's the same guy.

VCW & CPW already exist in the same 'universe'. We have basically the same creation rules which allows for easier crossover if someone wanted to switch from one fed to the other.

VCW originally started (aside from me wanting to run my own fed) because CPW had started to become too crowded and it was tough to get on the card. Devlin (intelligently) limited it to six matches per card. Those slots would then end up filled a day after the new show would be posted. So in a sense, we are/were the overflow from CPW.

CPW does not do house shows and I'm sure Devlin wouldn't like to have to sim an additional show each week. I use the house shows mostly to introduce new people and also to see how everyone does against different caws. It does not drive plot.

Getting new roleplayers (or handlers) is the important thing, since once we have enough people, we could always limit the number of CAWs. As for having new things everyday, I think we've done a good job here at VCW in doing that. Even with me not having any match limit carved in stone, there is only so much you can do prior to and after a match.

Merging the two feds would create a shitstorm of logical hell that I personally don't want to deal with. It would also fail to address the issue of getting new rp'ers since a number of us participate in both feds.

So as far as merger goes, I don't see it happening anytime soon. That is not to say that crossover can't occur though, with everyone involved's consent, and ONLY with EVERYONE involved's consent.

[Narv]

Maybe I don't understand something, but whe're a;ready able to seek through the roster (and keep an eye on th roleplays) to find someone to feud with.

Actually, we're not searching for feuds - they find us by themselves ;D
