This, coupled with a REAL PPV for Tension (though that might be a bitch to support due to lack of interest) could be very interesting.

I don't think there's a lack of interest. Remember the Tension Hotel event? That had a lot of support behind it from people. A real, official Tension PPV would probably be a pretty big hit.

[quote="Bluemouse":24ksuf6k]Didn't the Tension Hotel thing fail?

Looking at Tension's PPV board, it had a lot of threads that were all either completed or mostly completed, about the same as most of Friction's PPVs.

It's like Lobo said, the lack of deadlines and WrestlerAngel dropping the ball is what killed it.

If we had an official Tension PPV, with the mods keeping it organized and keeping up the deadlines like Friction's? Instead of just a pity event like Tension vs. Friction? I think it would be a pretty solid success.

The Hotel event should be seen as a precursor then, a template that an actual Tension PPV can build upon.

I would advise against tournements though. Having every match be tied to someone else's is kind of a pain in the butt when planning.

Hmmm...agreed.

Fuck that word pity, btw,

Dark Angel (At least back then), Louise Heaven, Bree, Melissa Sellers and The Brats (Sometimes) are all Tension girls and were in that ppv. That's 5 out of 9 matches. 4 of them had a crossover element and 1 was sort of in between.

That being said, the size of the Tension PPV shouldn't matter if its Tension exclusive. Did you see FnF's PPV? It was like 3 matches. Smaller Tension ppv's could mean more events since they are smaller. Considering how large Friction's events can be.

You could have 3-5 (or more) Tension based matches and 1-2 (or 3?) Crossover matches

-------------------

I was really hoping that if we did some sort of organized event we could try more for prestige than a title. I remember the Omega Tournament appealed to my char cuz he needed money. There was no real title involved.

Tournament or not, what made The Hotel fun for me was how loose it was. IT didn't feel so formal, you had no idea what sort of match you were gonna have. What if we just organized monthly-ish mini events?

Monthly events? But it takes people 4 months to finish a match around here -_-

Prestige only works if other people are willing to have their characters give it to yours. Let that be a lesson: don't no-sell prestige.

Monthly-ish. Like Bi-monthly or Tri-Monthly. We put in a deadline to prevent what happened to the other events.

Well I feel like i got to suggest SOMETHING for someone to gain. If the mods were going to drop random matches up on me with unique rules and situations that ranged from wacky to serious, I'd be ok with that.

I don't really know if everyone else would get into joining an event because its fun. I feel like that would be enough. But I feel like some folks would want a title or "King of something".

I could get into an event hosted by Chesna Matu and sponsored by twix to see who gets a commercial deal and a bonus for their weekly AFW check. I could get into that. I dunno about everyone else.

I told WA over and over again to put deadlines. But I wasn't going to enforce anything because it was HER idea and I was going to let it succeed or fail on her shoulders. I think it sort of succeeded as much as it could in spite of her best efforts to make it fail.

And TvF wasn't a pity PPV. It was designed to gauge the interest in a Tension PPV. The idea was if it was successful, and it was, then we could do one that was exclusively Tension. We still have that in mind but there have been a lot of other things going on as well. It's still something we've been considering. We consider lots of things all the time. Some we push forward, some we don't.

Bear in mind also that ppv's currently coincide with summer and winter break from school. You may be aware that many of you are in college and junk.
