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.

Let me say this in a nice but blunt way,
Everything you said sounds extremely condescending. If any newcomer wanted a match before, I doubt they want one now. We're all people and should be treated as such. No one wan'ts to feel like you're doing them a favor and honestly...you aren't. It's a meaningless title on an rp site and you just made way to big a deal of it.

You can say people bitch and moan all you want but who's gonna want to approach some random person on the internet that talks like that and acts like they're doing people favors? That's probably the attitude that's keeping newbies away and if you lurk enough, you can see that type of stuff on any thread discussing things like this.

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.

Thank you!

Now, does anyone else feel like enough has been done, here to make a push on how to move forward? I'd still like for this to be constructive. So if everyone can look past Tai's outburst, and contribute ideas and opinions worthwhile, it would be much appreciated. I think the majority of people agree that change is needed within the title scene.

Except Tat, but that was like 2010

What you said raises and interesting point.

Do some people on the site see the World title as a culmination of their character's story? I mean, yeah, this is the highest point their character will likely ever be on, but do they seem to give up after that? There are still tons of story opprotunities without title belts.
