A Not-so Triumphant Return

Yes. You've read it before. You'll probably read it again at some point, but I'm gearing up to return to RPs on the forum. I've decided to kind of mix it up a bit though in order to see if my interest would be piqued more. So let's try and itemize these "changes" (unfortunately you can paint a Zebra black, but it's still a Zebra).

1) You'll notice the signature is slightly different. I don't want to use the word: retired, but think of the girls under the Recreation Roster as being retired from having meaningful storylines or character development for the time being. They're available for matches and all, but I don't currently have any intentions of trying to develop them into having PPV potential. The True Roster are filled with the guys and gals that will hopefully be developed to the point of being PPV-worthy. These 2 groups haven't been finalized by me yet and could shift in the upcoming few weeks. Which brings me to the next item on the list...

2) The "return" will not be officially effective until June 16 (Soft deadline) or June 23 (Hard deadline). This is just so that I have time to figure out which girls and guys will be part of which roster. Also, it'll give me time to re-do the profiles. You know: clean them up, hit myself for typing the way that I type, remove things that will no longer be relevant. That sort of stuff. The last item on that list sort of leads to the next point...

3) Hentai matches will be kept to a minimum on the forums for both rosters, initially. That means PM and IM matches are fair game, but I'd prefer that Hentai and Hentai-like matches be kept to a minimum for my forum matches. Backstage stuff is different because it's character development. Likewise, let's say it's a match between Abbie and some girl that's developed feelings for Abbie and they're in a standard match (or vice versa). I'm not going to be stern and say that every now and then the girl can't try and coax Abbie with a grope or two. Again, I take that as character development. My reason for this is because I feel as though it may have contributed to my disinterest in RPing when almost every match my girls (and guys for that matter) were in was a hentai-themed match to some extent. I enjoyed myself, don't get me wrong, but too often it would boil down to a wrestling match-turned-fuck fest within the first page or 2. I was just as guilty, if not more so, of perpetuating that style and method of Hentai matches as some of the fellow RPers I was working with. It possibly bored me because there was so little sustenance. There was no nuance to the dance. For that reason alone, until September comes around (let's pick a random date of Sept. 21), no match on the forums with my girls will be Hentai-themed unless it's a continuation of an old match or a match we had previously discussed doing. I think you know what this leads into...

4) I'm open to continue most RPs that were left hanging from (what would that be most likely, 2 years ago?) before my absence started (again). I know some of the RPs were close to finishing or were just getting started. Let me know. I'm truly sorry for having been that guy again. You all deserve better than to be left hanging like that. I believe in second chances, but this would probably be more akin to a third or fourth chance for some of you that I did that to. So, if you want to keep me on your blacklist, I understand, but I harbor no ill-will because of it. Those RPs will be on a case-to-case basis for whether they become part of the history of the character. Matches that wish not to continue with me will be treated as if they were one-off.

5) I'll be limiting myself from entering any members of my True Roster (I need to work on that naming) into any PPVs or tournaments until after Avalanche 2014. You all know why. I can be unreliable with my post rate. So until I'm in the swing of posting more regularly and reliably, I'm not entertaining the thought of throwing anybody's hat in the ring unless specifically asked by whoever is organizing it. To those who may consider that, I'm just warning you ahead of time to consider who you're asking here.

6) Because my two roster groups are not finalized, I wouldn't be surprised to hear people rally for their favorites to be included in the True Roster (only Sadie is on that cusp for me at the moment, but after a SERIOUS re-vamp). I'll welcome the suggestions, but just know that I'm stubborn by nature. It may take some real convincing. I also may bring Cornelia back from the dead and put her on the Recreational roster. That is..assuming nobody has scooped her up since my shelf-ing of her, which wouldn't upset me too much.

7) You'll notice the teaser tag team. The names may seem familiar if you've played Borderlands. Yes, I've alluded to turning everybody's 2 favorite Vault Hunter Sirens into wrestlers. It's probably been over a year since the thought first came to my head and I started working on a profile (Lilith's), but things got in the way..and then I lost interest again. I intend to have hers and Maya's profiles up by the start of next week (read: June 8 or 9).

There was something I meant to type here...if I remember it, I'll edit it. Until then: ooga booga booga!

9) Lastly, I will take some requests for matches after those 2 get their profiles posted. I'll try to stick to 1 in-ring match and 1 RP thread for each girl in addition to any continued matches from before.

Anyway. Feel free to comment here or message me with anything. I'll try my best to stay true to my word.

Cool.

Congrats, just when you think you're outta the game. They pull you back in. " title="Smile" />

Welcome back

Always glad to see a new...old...new/old face?....Whatever, Welcome back!!

Welcome Back Bro! We've missed you!

Ohhhhh so your back, you sure took your time Mr Pin :p

Thanks for the kind, semi-confused, and slightly amusing words.

So just as a little update. I've only just recently gotten Lilith's profile up. Maya's should follow some time this week.

So the official "return" is going to be delayed by a week. My apologies to anybody who's anticipating the return.

For the "return" I'd like to set up a confrontation RP between either The Sirens and an established tag team (Friction) or Abbie and somebody who's character would play well off of her psycho bitch personality (I'm hoping to update her profile after Maya's is posted, but no promises). It's an RP thread, so I'm open to flirtatious actions. On the flip side, if you PM me and I try to be kind in my decline of the proposal, please do not feel insulted. I'm going to be picky about who my first RP upon the return is going to be against. This is just going to be based on a criteria of past experiences and what I know of your RP style, if I know anything.

As said before, I'm open to continue RPs we were having before my stoppage.

Take care and stay beautiful. Especially you Mr. Lurker. I see you there.
