Remember when GHW not only still had an RP side, but it was also pretty awesome? Well, I've already spoken with Xantaxm once and he said I'm welcome to try to help bring it back to prominence again. However, before I go off and recruit 100 people, I'd like to see if there's interest ON THIS SITE ITSELF for consistently RPing, whether it be weekly or bi-weekly. I'm starting to feel the desire to RP consistently again, but all the feds I know are kinda dead-looking and don't have the name value that GHW has. In short, if I could get a roll call here of support, I'd like to work with whoever is applicable to get a good RP side on here again. Who's up for it?

I'll follow you to hell and back if need be Rawb. GHW is where I got my start in match writing and I've been feeling a little home sick.

GHW is home one way or another, so I'm always here to help GHW in whatever way I can. I can't RP actively till I get my free time back, but I'll continue to do my work for the RP side and if you're seriously interested in taking over, Rob, I'll help you any way possible.

I'll join if it starts up again properly.
I'd also say forget about TV shows altogether and just have the RP side do PPVs, seeing as they come around more frequently here than they do in EVPW and it'll give people more motivation to RP.

This post intrigued me. Matt Oliveira and I tried to start a fed (then got lazy and said screw it) with this exact formula: just supercards at first, then maybe weekly or bi-weekly shows if it got REALLY active. If we can even get a monthly card with enough RP threads backing them to make the matches all make sense and give them a sense of purpose, we at least have a good restart. I shall discuss this with my brain trust.

Actually, that is the format I have been running the RP side by for the last few months. Only PPV, cards, no TV shows, since... well the roster is just too slim to run weekly shows

After discussion with MattO, I have a few things to say. First, as far as the supercard thing goes, it's good that we already have a format that'll work for now. That means we don't have to totally change everything. I'm glad to see some interest on here about this, and I'd certainly love to see a few VOW guys try their hand at RPing (hey, it worked for Winthorp Darkrites) as it's way more fun than it looks when you have a good userbase and sense of community. I personally also would like to have an attitude that's a bit more relaxed than the one EVPW and ICW have gotten lately, e.g. allowing a member that's being insulted to at least stick up for himself instead of tattling to staff and also not banning people for a pointless funny thread. RPing is more fun when it can be taken semi-seriously and things can be lighthearted IMO. I'm not saying allow 1,000,000 threads of spam, but we gotta at least have some kind of jovial activity OOC-wise to keep people from feeling like they're at work here. I don't think it impossible to have enough people for a bi-weekly format within a month as long as we plug like hell, and I am talking webring stuff with Billy Styles since he's building a site directed at things that could benefit us both. That's another reason why I wanted an active OOC board and for us to look like we're just having fun with a side hobby instead of turning this into a sport or a job. In addition, I'd like the forum to be viewable by guests. With as many dead feds as are around (and I've looked on the topsite lists, most of them are dead too), most people don't want to sign up and verify their account just to see if a forum's active. btw, when are the PPV results gonna be up?

Rob, calm down, you will get the tag belt in due time... *rubs United Glory Belt*
Also, count me in for a restart of sorts, if we are going down the monthly route. I might not have as much time, but like Jag and Dave, this place was my home. I began my (somewhat awesome) career with this fed, show it gives me a sense of real belonging.
And about the VOW guys trying RPing. I think this is pretty awesome if they want in. I saw some of the stuff that the likes of Xantaxm, ETT and DMD pulled off in their one off matches, and it was pretty good. And yeah, look at Tommy FFS!

It seems like you've got everything handled but if anyone wants my help with anything like updating title histories and roster pages or training schools or whatever else to bring GHW back to its former glory (and honor ) then let me know. I'll do what I can.

Any help is very welcome, and I'd definitely like to have a bunch of people helping out with things for two reasons:
1. If staff is overworked, they get sick of it. 2. That means there are people ready to hold the fort down if a few staff members go on LOA.
Skull, you could do either of the things that you mentioned. Training would be a perfect fit for you because you're easygoing and you aren't part of the "Long always = good" school of thought that came close to ruining RPing in the first place.

I'm willing to return to match roleplaying. The promo-based stuff is getting on my nerves.

AOD: Great to hear, it's not that hard to pick up on and actually gets easier once you figure out what you like to do in matches. If you'd like, I can see to it that you're trained in time for the next card. Dom: I knew we'd be able to snag you. Tendai: Yeah, I was never a big fan of promo feds myself. Good to see someone returning to RPing. You were Reeves, correct?
