We Should Talk About The Title Scene

About 2-3 maybe 6 years ago, a few folks hated the title scene.  A lot of those folks have been title holders since then.

Once you win a world title though, you're more likely to retire though!

Honestly Lobo it depends on the character in question. My characters want to win gold but they want to go beyond that. no one stops just cause they lose th belt. Its all about story

Gonna attempt to prevent this from devolving into things it wasn't intended for.

The fact that Kelsea and others have agreed on a guideline being a good idea should be indicative that things could be better. I still feel that more constructive responses from others, as well as the poll results, are indications that there are, in fact, significant flaws. And I'd like to further address that.

I get that few people want more titles, but what are we doing about titles that are relatively inactive to begin with, save for waiting on Kelsea to possibly taking action at some point later down the line?

Fair enough, I have a habit of going too far in these sort of things. I'm known for ranting after all. Let me rephrase in another, nicer, but still blunt, way.

I think a lot of this is whining and bitching. I think if a lot of people wanted a particular story or match or title shot, they would have made an effort at it, showing that they could carry stories and follow through with them, and contact title holders to discuss ideas for matches.

I don't think they have, and I think that because of that, they haven't gotten what they wanted, and are now complaining about it, and I do think a lot of the suggestions offered aren't that good.

So ranting aside, I will make an honest and genuine offer.

If you want your character to get involved in a story with a title, PM me. I will personally cancel whatever I had planned, and I will listen to what you have in mind, and what you want to do.

I will work with you, I will listen to you, I will make a story with you. PM me, talk to me, drop me a line.

Not talking directly to players and just coming on discussion isn't going to change anything that you want changed. So, if you feel you've been ignored or passed over, I'm fully willing to give you a shot.

If you don't believe me, which is understandable, I rant a lot, try me, send me a PM.

Or don't, your choice...but this is a legit offer, so if I don't hear from people, and a thread like this comes up six months from now, it's gonna be on them, not me.

HOW DARE YOU. I AM A VETERAN OF 7 YEARS, SOLIDER. I KNOW STORY BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU!

I wasn't talking about characters. Most writers, after you win the world title, you basically end up taking a break, be it big or small. It happens and Ive seen it happen to everyone who won the Friction or Tension titles.

Except Tat, but that was like 2010

What the hell man? I've been in rp's before this. I'm not a green noob who knows nothing of RP's and story.

Tai, I'm pretty sure no one here named any names at all. So I really don't understand why you are taking this personally. No one is attacking anyone, this is a discussion about potential changes to how titles change hands.

Also, if I were a newer person and I saw what you just wrote, I most definitely wouldn't want to RP with you, because it is incredibly condescending. Hell, even vets to this site can see that and be put off. This is supposed to be civil, and so far, you are the only one on this entire thread that I've seen get offended by anything said here.

This is supposed to be constructive, so let's keep it that way.

I want a title belt ^_^
