All righty then. Expect entrances tomorrow in addition to voting cards. We're gonna lightning round this one again. Also, a proposition for the next supercard: if we go with the general TV theme, how about the name "Small Screen Smackdown?" If it was movie-based, then "Silver Screen Smackdown." I like that idea for the names. Definitely seems fitting.

Okay, since this bugged me enough that I found myself unable to stop thinking about it and ended up complaining about it somewhere else, I may as well say it here:
Coventry, in the promo thread, gets a phone call about Blood's challenge and...he's literally rolling on the ground laughing?
Really?
Gus, dude, between that and calling a guy who's accomplished as much as Hayden "Mr. Irrelevant" and calling Seth your bitch right after he beat you clean and all the rest of it you are, no offense, making your characters seem like arrogant pricks who are a hell of a lot less likable than Hayden, less likable than Enigma, less likable than the General, and--unless I keep on really heeling it up to make you look good by comparison--even less likable than Blood.
I'm not saying this just because I'm pissed, I'm saying it because if the rest of the members are like me, you are going to make them vote against you.
They'll vote against you because it's really satisfying to see somebody with a planet-sized ego get their comeuppance when he's beaten by the very guy he relentlessly mocked.
They'll also vote against you because, in my opinion, Hayden is a great promo guy and right now he is writing much better promos than you. He's coming across as the sympathetic underdog trying to prove that he should be taken seriously, while you're coming across as the entitled jackass who's laughing at him and doesn't think he should be taken seriously because...he isn't you, I guess. And who's doing the same thing to all your other opponents.
This wouldn't bug me anywhere near as much if you were trying to come across as an entitled jackass, if you were trying to be a heel. But recently you said that no, Richlen's a face.
You know what? No, he is not a face. Connor is a face. Jonathan Michaels was a face. Bull Ant and Moo Moo Ant are faces.
Transgression and Redemption are faces-in-name-only. Or to put it another way, dickheads.

Except I've called Enigma and Hayden out for their constantly making excuses whenever things don't go their way. I've made it clear that I don't blame other people for my problems, I don't refuse to take responsibility for my actions, I don't make excuses for losing, and I respect people who follow those same three points. I don't want to be a squeaky-clean face. I want to put a ton of cynicism and crank and acidity in the character (just me mostly and not the others). In-character, I won't insist that Hayden hasn't earned his shot because he has. But all it is is a shot.

I've had Hayden list off his accomplishments numerous times whenever he's been called "Mr. Irrelevant" by your character, Gus. And I've gotten the feeling that Gus (the character) doesn't think Hayden hned the shot, based off of the man in black distracting Connor.
As for the whining, Hayden only whined when he lost the TV Title. And that was because Blood interfered and cost him the belt. There was no rematch for the belt, and as I was three defenses away, I thought there was some validity to my.claims. And as Jono had willingly forfeited a title match the week before, Hayden lashed out at him as well for taking "his belt".
I don't know if people see Hayden as a face or heel; I just write for him and let people decide. But I have to say, right now I agree with MSB. Transgression and Redemption, perhaps all of them, are face-in-name.
But hey, you can use that. Evolve Gus into the entitled jerkass who wants the fame. That way you can keep your promo style and it works, as opposed to coming off as, well, mean.

I asked BRB if I could write commentary for any of the matches and he suggested I ask Connor, Aaron or Mr. Socko's Brother if I could handle it for them. Any takers?

Sure, would you prefer to call the tag match or the singles match? Liked your promo btw. I laughed at the part about the MITBOB turkey being part of the standard contract.

I'll take Bull Ant vs. Super Warrior if that's what you are referring to.

I also liked your promo, Waffell. Seemed... Economical, yet enticing. I'd write a follow up promo for Niteraw if I were you. Like an old school video package.

Oh no, the "economical" comment was a compliment. I like narrative economy.

I really liked the turkey part as well. Something I thought was very fitting and I really liked it. Definitely a very good opening teaser promo. And if you have any preferences on a match to do the commentary for by all means. I am completely open to you doing commentary. I know you had spoken earlier about not really wanting to write matches but I started out with commentary myself and branched out but either way it is a great help to all of us that you volunteered.

So, video package for NITERAW is ready, now I just need to wait for the Bull Ant/The Super Warrior match so I can add commentary.

Card has been sent. If all goes well, I'll count the votes and write the finishes tomorrow.
As for you, Seth, are you undergoing a character change? I suppose he diverged from his return last year some, so with a fresh Interforums Title Belt, I can see a change in music working.
Unfortunately, the only song I know/recall from that list is "Immortal" by Adema, which should be serviceable enough.

I just think that after a year, it wouldnt matter at this point that Seth is not a hero.

Question about the Super Warrior: is he really just 6' even and 229 lbs?
Because the link on the roster page takes me to a profile listing him as that height and weight, but I remember him being bigger.
Should I write this as a big man vs. big man match, or big man vs. smaller man?
