Last thing to say, and this is for the newer guys - remember that the way a match is written rarely reflects the votes. For one thing, writers rarely know the details of the voting results; they just know the final result.

For all you new guys, go back to the archives of the very start of NiteRaw and you will see how big of a jobber that I was. I just kept doing promos and I eventually became the World Heavyweight Champion. It just takes time and patience.

If Socko has the CageKing match written, please send it to me so I can try and add something to the end if it's possible.
Or at least PM me who won.

I'm afraid I don't have it written quite yet Jono; I've caught some kind of bug and have been trying to take it easy. I'll definitely have it written by Monday, though, and I'll PM you the finish in the next few minutes.
Also, we still need somebody to write Naitch vs. Blood.

That's what I like about this place, once you turned face you hit your stride and became oneof the very best.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I can see that. Honestly, with my guy... I hate to admit this, but he's more or less a one shot character, in my opinion. I've had this guy on several different e-feds and he always seemed like the catalyst of something huge who's only real destiny was to basically be destroyed in the end. But then, again like I said earlier that's just the part of me that's interested in story-line. I have another character who's an Irish guy named Finn McHaggis who basically is just a loud mouthed-smart assed street fighter with a mean streak. To me he's more of a staple for character development.

I'm finding a bit of trouble with my gimmick too, I mean, I'm an emotionless person who's focus on my opponent gives me incredible talent (also gives me an out for not seeing Descent attack me during that match, because I was 'focused on someone else') . Yet I've already realised that the only way to do a promo more than 2 lines long is to get emotional, so in my last 2 or 3 promos, I've had to give my character a sense of justice to keep the promoing fresh.
On another point, can someone make an update on the roster? It's kinda hard to keep track of who's a face and a heel right now. e.g. what's DPM and General's alignments? Also, CageKing seems to be doing some honorable stuff and some dickish stuff. I'm kinda getting an early Holly/Rhodes kinda vibe.

Well when my character started he was a full on heel, hated everything and was a flat out bully, I got some big wins but usually had to lose the feud. Intact the one true long term feud I won was against Colt that really kick started my slow-burn face turn. And despite how "evil" my character was in the Colt feud, the face turn seemed natural and now my character is bordering Cena levels of good guy as the primary target of the biggest heels.
And I'd say its going really well. And goes to showany character can evolve, be it sudden (like Colt) or built up (like mine)

But in order for the win over the heel to mean anything, they need to be considered a worthy adversary. But I've seem to be waxing philosophical about this whole thing. I realize that my ideas I've been posting is not really workable in a e-fed atmosphere. I'll just restate what I said earlier... I love building complex storylines...

Yeah, I mean, me and CageKing have something good going, but if I lose cleanly tonight (?) then Grave probably is done and future endeavored.

Just tweak the character, make it a MMA fighter esque guy with "Team Graves" and have a manager to speak for him and get all emotional and stuff whilst Graves just does the business

Is it some kind of joke behind my back that everyone adds an s to my surname?
But on topic, I kinda like the idea but I'm not sure how I'd manage it without looking like the least threatening Lesnar/Umaga reference in history.

Re: My Alignment.....Tweener with more of a Noble Buccaneer/Mercenary for Hire Bent. I'm not going to Jump a guy out of nowhere without "Fair" warning, but I consider "Fair" to be anything from an outright threat to an off-hand remark. Also I'm more likely to Feud with heels, because of a cultural clash or because they've wronged me rather than a sense of "Justice". That said, I've got a specific code of honor (Debts must be repaid, Freedom must be respected, and Go down fighting whenever possible) that should be obeyed at all times. I'll never resort to "Outright" cheating to win.....but I'll use dubious methods (No Weapon Use unless it's a no DQ match, but I'll keep a hold on until 5. I'll use the Grog Mist because the opponent *should* see me drink it at the beginning of a match, but I won't just blindside the poor sod)

Okay, so here's where things stand right now re. tonight's NiteRaw.
The main event is finished.
I'm putting the finishing touches on Cageking/Grave right now.
Haven't started on Evil M/Super Masked Hero X yet, but I believe I can get that one done pretty quickly.
Haven't got the triple threat match from X yet.
And will somebody please, please, please, please, please write Blood vs. Naitch? Because if I've got to write three matches then we might wind up waiting until tomorrow morning at least, and I'd feel bad keeping Grave in suspense that long.

I'd write it myself but I'm on a phone, and frankly I've yet to see/read a singles match from either Blood or Naitch, so I wouldn't know the first thing.

Well I'd do it but my lack of a computer makes it impossible. I messaged Jackson, but he's stuck working a double shift.
