Post by Gus Richlen Was Wrong on Aug 9, 2013 12:25:41 GMT -5
Last post before leaving, possibly for good (though I still hold to faint hope that maybe things will change):
Even though I know it will change absolutely nothing, I have had several hours to realize that, no matter how unintentional, I've royally and repeatedly f***ed up. I might as well admit them now anyway:
Hayden, I never meant to bury you. Ever. I apparantly misunderstood the whole Michaels vs. Hayden feud from last year and thought you were already either a heel-leaning tweener (I HATE that word) or a full heel and reacted accordingly. And in the process I wound up getting both of us buried.
My last promo on NiteRaw was my reaction to constant misunderstandings of what I was doing with my character. Turns out I misunderstood what I was doing as well if not worse. I should have classified Gus Richlen as neither face, heel, or tweener because he never fit into any of those. Instead, I should have just classified as him as "himself." I didn't think about that until today at work.
Which brings me to why I had decided against taking a break. All the personal shit is just an excuse to avoid admitting that I wasn't really doing the right thing for everybody, even though I thought I was. This is supposed to be my escape from work where I no longer am some loser throwing cardboard in a compactor all day and letting himself be pushed around because he doesn't stick up for himself.
To the next point: M has mentioned this to me before and he's right (I admit this too late but still): I don't take criticism very well at all. Here, I get pissed; RL, I either sink into depression or fly off the handle. And that caused me to lash out and I'm sorry.
There was one part of my promo that I think got missed entirely and that is when I say that I think being the Predator Knight sucks. Thanks to all the shit from this year, I realized I was stuck being seen as that no matter what I tried. I wanted out of being that character but didn't know how. I had really hoped somebody would have wanted to help me with that.
And as far as the whole Women's division thing goes, I had been wanting to do this for a long time now, almost since I first started. I wasn't trying to hijack FAWA, Connor. I was offering to do the show to save you some work. Everyone who had to deal with my bungling of Raw on WWE:FAN knows that running FAWA is the last thing I wanted to do.
I know that apologizing is not going to change the fact that I am no longer welcome here, but it's still something that I should have done a long time ago. So that's it. Unless you all really want me back, I'm done. I'm sorry I couldn't have done more....

I think you did enough. I should have taken a stand far earlier. Instead, I wanted content and matches written. Let the records show that Gus Richlen, for his perceived faults, was a regular contributor from week to week.
Gus, I let you get away with a lot. I never imagined things escalating to this point, but every week I posted your material. Every week the noose got more rope and you, maybe obliviously, supplied it. Worse still, there are people who left or hesitated to join because of the way you carried yourself on Niteraw, in the Promo thread, and in your match writing.
You articulate your intentions now but you should have articulated them earlier when they were first being brought up. In the end, direct communication on both sides of this should have happened earlier. Maybe things didn't need to be so abrasive. Something about that might merit being put into the first post.
I was in a different place than Connor is now. Connor, you inherited quite the bustling activity. Nay, you stepped in right as it started picking up. Cultivate it wisely. You don't have to struggle to get two matches written for the week. You can scrutinize more. Cherish it.
And with that, I'm moving on. Connor, it's Friday. I recommend you count the votes, write the entrances and finishes, and send 'em out today. Do you need any more writers?

All matches have in fact been spoken for. Voting will be closing a few hours and at such time I am hoping to get results and at least entrances out as I just picked up a new (well new to me) monitor. Needless to say my wife is relieved at getting the 42" LG back for regular use in the living room.

Alright guys, all results have been counted and sent to their respective match writers. I shall be working on entrances tonight as well. There is still plenty of time to submit promos/squashes.

I have decided it's time for me to return to FAWA.
However, I will not be bringing back Evil M, at least not right now. However, I do have a question. I know you're only allowed up to four active wrestlers at a time. But what about multiple background characters for promos only? Is that allowed? Because I've been kicking this idea around for a while and I think the time has come to give it a go.

Well, Jeremy Dupoe presently has the Cult of the End. Connor has a supporting character in his trainer who I've never really made a profile for since he'd never compete or anything. There is some precedent in having background characters though for sure if it's something you were kicking around as far as an idea. And of course we'd love to see you come back Smurfy.

Well, basically, it's a stable(singles wrestler, tag team, and female wrestler), but in addition to the active wrestlers, they'd have a manager, plus various background characters for non-arena promos.

Gus, I'm sad that it had to be this way. I was hoping for a happy ending with you staying and everyone happy, but I guess not. if you ever need someone to talk to, I'd be happy to listen, I look forward to seeing you around the colony.

Good morning folks,
Unfortunately TMK has been called upon with his work and looks like he may be delayed in writing his match. At this time was there anyone else that might wish to write the match as the earlier it looks like he would be able to get it in would be Wednesday?
