Office Report

With LWO President Paul Vincent

July 18th, 2001

First I'm going to deal with a few things at LWO.  Results are looking to stay the way they are.  The poll was at a split.  It's possible outside voters may have came in and tainted the poll, but according to the poll, we're staying to the current style of results.
Now about angle fed changes.  What does an angle fed offer that an RP fed doesn't?   The problem with RP feds is they always emphasis that size = quality, which isn't true.  I've seen a person write 4 good lines which were a hell of a lot better than the 20 pages another guy put out.  Angle fedding would offer for people to concern themselves more about the quality of their role-plays instead of forcing out words to get a certain amount of words out, or a certain amount of pages or paragraphs.  Angle feds also allow angles to run more smoothly.  Let's face it, there are dominators in LWO.  If I put El Nijo Del Doragon up against Ryzon, at this point it seems obvious who's going to win.  With an angle fed your role-playing doesn't matter on who wins the match.  You don't need to even RP well to win a match with an angle fed.   Which is indeed the problem.  RP feds if pure would force people to improve their quality of writing.  But most RP feds aren't pure, they're based on size most of the time.  I've always found that an angle federation is a lot funner than an RP fed.  RP feds have egos.  Angle feds usually have a lot more co-operation.   If we are to change over to RP fed style the length you've been in LWO will be the result of the kind of push you get.  I'd like to put a system in for this that if you don't role-play at an expected quality or above (I have a frame of reference on all of you) you'll automatically lose the match irregardless if it means losing some content in angles.  So I hope you guys would still try and role-play well even if we switch to Angle fed.
Another thing that'll be coming up is not one, but two pay-per-views next month.  Our first one will be very soon.  It'll be a standardized pay-per-view event, nothing really special about it, it's name will be Destiny.  Our second pay-per-view in the month of August will be named Friends and Enemies.  This pay-per-view will end our first full season.  In it we'll feature the tag team tournament.  A lot of people have been asking to have tag titles included in LWO's line-up.  Tag titles I don't mind, they'd just always become unpopular after a while.  So, after our next pay-per-view I'll set up a tag team form and a tag team roster.  Basically you'll either fill it out and get the team with the person you want (make sure you ask that person first though) or you'll be forced with someone.  This event will account for everyone in LWO.  But that's not all.  We'll be holding a Latino Rumble.   We're trying to think up something special about it, like a cage or something.   It'll feature everyone in the federation.  The winner, is the new LWO Latino champion.  That's right, this is the chance for anyone, to move from the bottom to the top.  If we do indeed turn angle, the Latino Rumble will be the one event based on actual role-plays.
ECWF and Vincent Empires had it's 1-year anniversary a week ago.  My first shocker was that there was really nothing special at ECWF to commemorate the day.   That's all there really was, was a short two lines on the main page just saying it was a year.  I take this time to thank a few people.  First I'd like to thank the crew that stuck with me through thick and thin, that'd be Paul Sundberg, Adam Vanderwyst, and Chris Redden. 
They're the only ones who have truly earned my respect.  The only time they took any time off was when we were big and could support with out them.  My admiration and respect goes to them.  ECWF will be holding their 12th pay-per-view event "End of the Road."  This'll mark our full year of pay-per-view events, and over 150 cards written.  One thing about ECWF is recycling of pay-per-view names.  This means that once we're done with End of the Road we're going back to the old Karnage card.   End of the Road will feature two things.  First it'll feature the ECWF tradition, that has mamed more champions than anything else in the King of the Cage.   Basically every star that has ever been in it has excelled to greater new heights.   Another thing they've come up with is the Velocity Cup.  I say blast you.   The Latino Rumble was originally going to be called the Latino Cup, the person would get their name inscribed on a cup and would get the Latino title after going through a Royal Rumble.  But, some how the crowd at ECWF came up with this as well.
The split of ECWF is very well ready.  Each federation would get 30 wrestlers a piece.  Not many have been showing concerns about habing to go to EUW.
Gateway RPG had it's first chronicle.  I can tell you one thing, it is indeed original.  I had a completely different dream for Gateway RPG.   Basically it's an event that tells you what happens and to what person's point of view.  Like when say Brutazlier and Icon are going to a certain area, it won't be one set of results.  The results will be from two different opinions.  Honestly I never thought Gateway would get started.  We had a lot of problems with getting the thing started.  The main problem was getting people to join.  I can advertise an e-fed, because anyone can do that.  But not everyone can think purely of creativity, which was the basis of Gateway.  A extremely good writer found the federation and I'm happy that he's in it.  In e-wrestling he's known as Azrael Ravenell.  Hopefully Gateway RPG can hit a full roster soon and have full co-operativity with the handlers and staff.
Legendz, UGH!  LoL, five months ago we began the initial planning of it.  I began to make biographies for the Legendz stars and could only get 50% of them done.  Legendz was a real wrestling federation of legendary stars from the golden age of wrestling.  I ran out of time and uploaded everything to it's server and handed it over to Chris Goodfellow.  Chris had told me that he'd get them done.  Three months later he resigns as Legendz president with the site never having had changed since I had first put it up.  Thankfully Lee Longpre (known as Vanity) is running it now with Paul M (El Cu Cuy).  I don't know when Legendz will open.  I'm hoping it can open before the Summer is out.  Specialty feds always take longer opening than normal ones.  I made LWO in two days, I made ECWF in 1.  I just finished the new PWL lay-out and that only took me 3 hours.  Basically these federations don't get open quickly is because these federations have a very large database.  Feds with large databases tend to flaunder and never get open.  I don't want this to be the case with Legendz or Gateway RPG.
EUW will be opening any time now, they haven't even open, but with the ECWF split they'll be 7 away from a full roster.  Talk about getting it all from the start.
PWL is a project we're trying to get open.  I've been giving it a lot of advertising influence.  The problem I'm seeing as the lay out.  It looks too bland.  It looks like a template that geocities might make.  Many of the graphics on it are made very well but the color scheme is way off.  So I decided than and there that I should indeed design a "new PWL."  It's going to have the best of both worlds.  It'll have the journalistic look of LWO, but at the same time have the fan base look at ECWF has.  I don't do that well of a job with color schemes that are dark colors but I do as I can, and this is what I did (screen shot):

Most of the places with PWL banners on it (which is all that is on the page) will be replaced with pictures of the wrestlers in the fed.  I could have made it more graphical great, but if I was to do that than I'd take a ton away from load up time.  It'd take an entire 9 seconds to load up all the other graphics I could have put in navigation.  Doesn't sound like a lot does it?  Take the time to consider that the average human has an interest span of about 25 seconds.  If it takes 20 seconds to load up the full page, and an additional 9 to load up the extra graphics, that's 29 seconds, which in my mind is too much.  LWO loads up in 24 seconds, before I made the front page changes it loaded up in 12 seconds.
