Okay, so I've been trying to read through the roleplays but I'm having a lot of trouble right now. So it's safe to say that results are not going up. I'm just coming up on it being a year since PDW reopened and I can honestly say that I'm experiencing some burnout maintaining a roster this size and 2 weekly shows. Our staff has somewhat shrank so I know it's probably going around a bit. These next Ascension and Disclosure cards were looking a little smaller than usual so I was thinking we could combine them for one show that would be next Tuesday.

I should be able to get it together tomorrow after work and get everything finished. I apologize. Just kinda tired. :(

Yeah I know the feeling. I know I'm the new guy but I'll see what I can do as far as match writing next show. If you need help something, feel free to just slap me upside my head. I tend to bitch and moan but if I have time I do my thing.

Double posters be double posting. I hear ya, Trice. It's okay, no one can hold you at fault for being tired. I barely have time to rp, can't imagine having to read all of them and write shows.

Okay, so like I said I'm going to get things finished up after work and I'll just combined the two cards we've been working on for one. I still want Legendary to be a really good show and I feel like we need a little more time to make it such so I'm looking at 3-4 more shows total (that would be a 2 weeks) before we start on that. I hope no one thinks we're closing. It's just a little bump.

Thanks for being understanding, guys.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Have fun at work. And if you're home after work, I hope your day didn't suck too bad. #KissUp.

But seriously, real life comes first, just like everyone else said.

I haven't efedded too long. And been a part of a staff only once for a very short amount of time (I just can't pull that kind of commitment honestly, I don't know how y'all do it) but just a thought. With a roster this size and the current burnout people in staff may be feeling. Why don't yall consider maybe making one show a week, not necessarily overly bigger in size but enough to keep the main angles/feuds going. So I'm basically saying make what your about to do this week in combining the shows the norm. I've noticed a margin of no shows in a lot of the people (sans last Ascension) I know I may sound a bit of a bitch here but if people aren't making your place a priority to at least show up in some capacity Trice you shouldn't make it a priority to book them. #TankShrug

Other than that, take your time hun. No rush here on the results or the upcoming card. I hope no one thinks your closing the fact is Life shit should always come first...you know like sleep! Lmao. Human functions are needed.

I am actually considering going back to one show. The reason we got two was because there were just too many people for one. Our PPV cards have been coming out to 13-14 matches and that's how shows every week were. So having one summarized show cut down on that load. I put the cap on to try and control things a little bit better but 40 is still pretty big lol. And we always stay pretty close to that number. So I gotta sit down and come up with a game plan.

An idea? What if you didn't have all 40 people on the show? Give like 10 people the week off, but have them send in segments and such.

That's what I was figuring myself. That's what I meant when it came to no shows and other aspects. They can still be a part of the show in a segment or otherwise but not booked to have a match. Miss a booking, sit out for a week or two. That way your able to get your things n order and doesn't damage the show. A 5-7 match show = 10-14 folks give or take the match type. Give some the time off and still progress angles thru segs and etc. Biggest thing is giving staff enuff time to pull it together n not maybe feel as rushed about it.

And if you're like one of those in a huge storyline (Weston, Banks, etc) you should be either in a match or have like more than one segment.

I have a real problem with actually trusting people to DO segments. Most of the ones we get now are from the same few people. So I think I'd run into a problem for people who don't send in segs not having matches. It'd be hard to do much with them other than being booked aimlessly. Sometimes when I even map out segs for people (and once, even an entire feud) they just won't do them. I know it's just not some people's thing and they have hard time with them but yeah.

I know what its like running a fed, it takes days to type up all the cards and results! You are doing a great job.

I like the segments idea, I think it could work. Alternatively, you could reduce more of the matches down to summaries?
