Just the generic thread for us GM Gamers. As soon as chux or whoever gets the subforums up I'll transfer all my stuff over.

Not sure if anyone is still doing this but I can't devote the time I need to it. I am going to try my hand at 4CW since it's a lot less writing and way less time consuming. I'm sorry fellas.

Hey guys

I'm sorry for vanishing lately.  Work's been kicking my ass, making me so tired! 

Annoyingly I haven't got time for the GM Game anymore.  So annoying.  I used to be able to balance everything, but so much more work's come my way lately (making me a quasi-supervisor in all but name, which I had an increase in wages to match!), and it's hard to balance everything.  I've almost finished my next show too, but I haven't had time to finish it off!

If someone wants to take control of the IWL roster and make it their show, that's awesome.  I'll give it a couple of days and if no one wants it, then you can all draft out the roster between you.

I've thought about this for about 3 days now and I believe that I have come up with a way that I can stay active and not get discouraged once again by long Raw/iMPACT! type shows with a PPV every 4 to 6 weeks. I'll post a 3 month schedule after I post a couple shows. At first I thought I should go super indy and post a few vague house shows and one big PPV every month (or every 4 to 6 weeks game time.) But I've gone the "indy" route the last two times I tried playing this. I thought to myself, what if I went old school, territory style I guess. And it is sorta ECW influenced....

The plan is to have 3 shows. Basically within the game, my company will do 3 house shows a week, that will be taped and played on a later day. This will be a one hour show, heavy with vignettes, angles, and promos. With probably 2 to 3 matches. That should keep my work load low, while still contributing, without being really lazy and keeping my stories moving. The 4th week out of the month will be a live taped 2 hour "super show." Sorta like how Saturday Night's Main Event was portrayed. Finally, the 3rd show would be a 3 hour long live PPV.

I feel like if I do it like this, I can keep it moving, stay interested, and it won't feel like so much work and be more fun. Also, it keeps me away from trying to be an indy fed with like I said, 3 to 5 "lazy shows" and one long winded PPV. And it keeps me away from what I did in my first run in the game, writing massive Raw Super Shows every week, and on the 5th week writing an even longer PPV. And this way, I feel like it won't be boring to read. I know that was a problem on the old, old boards for me. I went too long with the shows, and because people lost interest they stopped reviewing as much and just skimmed for basic plot points in the matches.


Can't wait to get started.

Just to update, I haven't lost interest or forgot. I am in the process of booking right now. I am glad I found the stuff Rhys and Chux wrote on the other free forum, it has helped a lot. I am about 60% done with booking my first 12 weeks. Once I finish the booking, I will write a show or two for activity purposes. Ball parking when it should be up, I would say about a week. Maybe less. Maybe a few days more. I'll try not to get ahead of myself and burn out after all this booking and go straight to writing a couple shows.

Same here. I haven't written a show in a while but only because I have limited internet access at the moment. I'm still in this though and will post my next show as soon as possible.

Cannot say enough how thankful I am for you 'n chux posting that stuff on the other site. Made everything so far much easier. I know though, I want to take it slow. I always go so fast and furious, then I wonder why I don't have reviews after spamming like 5 shows, and don't want to write anymore due to being burnt out. I think this time I have it "figured out." Steady pace and havefun.

So actually on schedule to what I said before. I took a few days off and completed my 12 weeks worth of booking today. All that is left is to write a show or two. I will probably wait a day or two before I do so.

What is being done with MEWF's roster? Is Sery still using it or is it a FA pool?

I don't want to start any trend of pillaging the roster if Sery is not taking it, because I kinda like the idea of having the option to later down the road sign a decent name and have them be a big shocking debut and what not. But if it is OK, I was looking at my roster and I think 30 active wrestlers would be nice.

I couldn't use any of them until week 13 the earliest, because Ive got everything mapped out and I dont want to over complicate things, but I would like to sign and keep on reserve if I can 3 mid card guys and one more main event guy. In my eyes any way I only have 4 dudes I would put the big belt on, I think one more instant impact guy could help.

- Mr. Anderson
- Petey Williams
- Tyson Kidd
- Magnus


If the consensus is to object my motion, disregard this message.


PS. I realize week 13 is a ways away, I would have no problem with relinquishing all 4 people to any new member who may sign up before we get to that point..

As far as I know, these are all free agents. Let me know if I'm wrong.

GWA sign Paige, Mickie James and Joey Styles.

I've made good progress with my shows. Got Week 7 written in full and plans up to Week 20. I'll post Week 7 when we're all at 5 or 6 I think.
