Sorry I haven't been around much guys, working a second job for a week or so until I decide to keep the one I have or go to the new one, really depends on what the new one wants to pay me if I do full time.
Anyways, I think Viva and BRB are doing a pretty good job, the transition was shaky but it was pretty short notice on the change so that was expected. However everything has gone pretty smoothly since then really.

First of all, I will take Amigo/General. If no one takes the TV Title Match, I can take that too, though I will sit back and see who takes it. Second, with the voting due tomorrow night at Midnight, I'll put the writing deadline at Monday 12 AM - the next night. Hope that doesn't hustle you, Gus. Third, I'm glad that you decided to stay Bergman. Hopefully you can get at least one good run instead of having to leave empty-handed one time too many. Fourth, as far as losing goes, well, I can't honestly say I've ever had much of a big losing streak per se, but as long as I've never won the World Title, there's always something left to do. Also, I am the Tito Santana/Big Show of Gookermania (0-3), but I kinda get a kick out of that and almost hope I lose at Gookermania V to keep the "streak" going. I guess the truth is, I take everything in stride. You win some, you lose some. Sometimes you get the push, sometimes you "enhance the talent." You need to know when to go all in and when to fold. Most of all, you need to be creative with your fellow members and figure out ways to occupy yourself as a gimmick with or without a belt. A character who needs a belt to be defined frankly is a bland character. Similarly, if you have ideas for other members, tell them! The worst that could happen is they decline your idea. With the new, "no public complaining" rule in effect, I will endorse it if for no other reason than to keep the peace here. As a match writer, I try my hardest to put over all contenders within a match. Go back and read the Battle Bowl 2011 and tell me who wasn't put over in their time within the match. But in the end, I am still at the mercy of the votes, and a loss is a loss to many members no matter how you write it. Viva and I seem to be getting general praise, and I hope we emerge from this year better than ever. I think we still have kinks to work out on our timeliness of getting shows voted and posted, but I also think we're getting there. The most important thing to me, right now, is I think we need more members to freshen things up and keep them fresh. The voting is due tonight at midnight. Oops. Midnight confusion there (it being the passage of one day to the next). Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone there. After all, you basically set the voting deadlines while I set the writing deadlines.

Also, we still need a writer for Bergman/Demento/Allen. If we have none by tomorrow night, I'll cover it.

As far as character changes go, not to toot my own horn, but I think I've done a hell of a job adjusting my character over time.
Look at my Gookermania promo, there's a world of difference between OG Jono and current Jono, despite the fact that he is, in essence, the same guy.
Right now, he's become really arrogant and cocky without becoming a heel, kinda like classic RVD.
It's a matter of planning, I generally have a solid long term plan for my character, like with the stalker, Defending hardcore Vs. Seth, Hideo or the Equalizers, I always have an idea where my character will be months later.

Was there anything left that needed to be written BRB?

Was there anything left that needed to be written BRB? ...Nope. Everything officially booked has a writer now. I imagine that I could tap you if someone cannot come through?

New system is up and running at home after getting the upgrades in and getting everything running stable. Even managed to get myself a nice 22" acer widescreen as well so now I'm running dual monitors.

Just a reminder that matches and Niteraw promos are due at midnight tonight, right after I rob Duncan's Toy Chest.
I think I'll start the next thread with Niteraw.

So BRB and/or Viva, I'm working on this match and making progress, but if I can't make the deadline then what should I do? Should I send what I've written so far to one of you so that you can hopefully complete it faster, or should I continue working on it until it's finished (whenever that may be)?

Well, how much do you have left? I've got the match like 80% done I'd say, not including commentary and entrances.

All's I need is the completed TV Title match. I should have the show posted tomorrow. This is shaping up to be a fun Niteraw. Maybe not Funkasaurus fun, but fun nonetheless.
