Re: Something New for Tension

TL;DR, quit bitching, bitcher(s).

We're on the board specifically to collaborate with other people. This is another way to do that, and in the process is greases the wheels of Tension stuff. If you don't like it, don't do it.

Example 1: Johnny Higurashi is a Tension wrestler. His wife is Taylor Parker. They are already supporting each other 100% in each of their matches, but if they were a Tension duo the other would of course be at ringside every match to support them, cheer them on, scream advice and obscenities, etc. Everything they accomplish would be together.

Example 2: Ro Laren is a Tension wrestler, and friend of Johnny's. If they were a duo, the complicating factors would be 1. Johnny's married to Taylor, 2. Ro's breasts are huge, and 3. Taylor deals with another chick working closely with Johnny, Johnny deals with balancing a working relationship and friendship without straying too far.

Example 3: Talia Wilson, AKA Dark Angel, is a long time arch rival of Cassie Elliot, Johnny's friend, as well as Johnny himself. If somehow fate conspired to throw them together as a duo, they'd have a bad time. They had one date last year and share a mutual attraction, as well as some form of mutual hatred stemming from circumstances and things they've done. They might share a common goal, but working together to get there would be tough.

That's IC stuff. It's an IC device. I don't know specifically how mods plan on handling it, but that's the idea. OOC, just do what you do. Being a solo wrestler might result in situations like John Mitchel looking at Kent Quick with the title, and he doesn't want to fight him. If a guy is champ, you are free to rp your guy character never getting a shot until maybe something changes. Logistics are the easy part though, since we make them up. Making things interesting to write, IC, is the harder part.

[quote="hamish1024":dud3cx62]Could one board member control both chars in a duo? if they had their own male and female characters they wanted to pair. Or would that spoil the intended co-op element.

I guess it is possible but like I said before, the main focus of this is the storyline element and having a duo with your own characters would not add anything in the way of interaction and storyline development with other member. In essence, if you created a duo with your own characters you would lose a lot of the big positives that we intend to create. And besides, if you wanted a duo with your own characters just so you could have a female character take the place of one of your males in a match, you could just ask a mod nicely on a few occasions to see if we can make that happen somehow <img src=

[quote="Lobo":dud3cx62]I seem to remember in Rules and Info, Kelsea's description of the Sex Wars title was that you would have to fight all genders to keep it. That makes sense and is logical because everyone wants to fight the champ

Also, imagine the fun a good heel duo could have in a match again husband-wife Taylor-Johnny. Especially if it was Taylor stuck at ringside. The drama!

Ok whatever. Guess im for this now.

Anybody wanna be the dysfunctional duo for Clyde to make him eat his boots in frustration? Anyone? I'll read you the sunday comics. Ok no I wont.

In fact I dunno if I'll do anything with the duo until we get another set of duos.

Why are we trying to over-complicate Tension yet again? Maybe it's just me, but I'm honestly not seeing a reason for this?

by Tatyina Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:33 am

What, exactly, is complicated about it? Seems pretty simple.

by Bluemouse Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:36 am

Alex is worried that his Tension character will have a hard time finding a 2nd.

Maybe it's more I don't see the point or how this is going to make people more interested in Tension? Like, okay, there's this:

[quote="Tatyina":2pkkkv8y]Having said all that, we feel like it will definitely bring a lot more drama to the table. A REAL chance for people to start REAL storylines in Tension and hopefully have a lot of fun with it.

[quote="Tatyina":2pkkkv8y]In Character, duo's would be something that would be put in place by management, something that would be enforced with the OOC idea of creating storyline romance, friendship, rivalry, hatred... etc between wrestlers.

by Tatyina Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:11 am

Why do we do events at all? People could do them on their own and doing them could just create unnecessary drama.

Because sometimes providing a platform for creativity fosters creativity that might not otherwise be fostered.

There are people who want Tension to do better than it's doing. Maybe this will help. Maybe it won't
