FMW OOC Thread

We have ourselves a winner.

Promo Status: DONE

^What he said.

I posted a promo! Yay!

Anyway, it's pretty cool. You should read it.

And I did use a few FMW folk in it, but I'm awesome with making people look cool. Besides, it's fictionally fictional. So, super not actually real.

But it's rife with symbolism.

Rife I tell ya'.

Sweet RP man, was really nice. Big props to everybody that has RPed for the tournament so far, Austin, Edible and Frost have been nuts..

Just thought I should let you know my new entrance music is "Free" by Twin Atlantic.

Promo is up. It's super short, and basically I got an idea out of the way that I couldn't have really stretched. It's not intended to win, really. I just wanted to be in the Battle Royal and say I promo'd.

I'm glad. I wanted that match on there so that those of you who simply like the opportunity to promo would have space to do so, without making the card too huge. I'm happy about the turnout for that match. I'm also pretty happy about the tourney's turnout. I mean, I'd like to see promos from Leon, Smith, Doc and Abel... but I'm happy that we've got some very competitive promos up there and I'm relatively sure we'll get at least 1 or 2 more before deadline.

Now, the C-4 match on the other hand...

Fucking Aussies (except for Parkes. Love you Parkes. EDIT: And the Braxtons. Who apparently are also from said continent/country?)

Also... promo deadline is just under 12 hours away! Get those suckers in!

Also, even though nobody asked, the reason this show's deadline ends on a weekday was because we ended up posting Corruption/Anarchy later than we wanted. In order to actually end the v&p period on a weekend we would have either had to make the promo period only 4 days (no thanks) or postpone everything an additional week (we're late enough as it is). The hope is that we can turn this sucker around really quick, and we can post the cards for 16.1 on a Monday or Tuesday, getting back to the whole "Saturday/Sunday promo period ends" rule I wanted set.

My promo will be in, Edible. Relax.

Yep, I'm as Aussie as a bloomin' slice o' pavlova. Fair dinkum!

She can't be lyin'.

I didn't understand a word she said.

Slowly, your god-forsaken continent is redeemed

I thought being English entitled me to a certain level of understanding when it comes to Australianisms.

That sentence proves otherwise.

Also, I didn't have any idea about this until you put it forward, but Wikipedia suggests the Kiwis invented pavlova

Hahahahaha! I don't really speak like a bogan, calm down everyone. And Idc about the origin of pavlova, I just like food =)

Don't open that can of worms. God dam kiwis.

We need a new Roster thread.

Anvil should be around more to help with that.

If FMW requires help with organizing and coding any threads or doing any graphics, I'm always willing to help. Just ask.

In regards to the graphics, as long as I have a template, I could give a new wrestler a roster pic in two seconds, so.

Aren't they basically the same thing, only slightly less likely to regurgitate and then drink a pint of vomit when out with the rugby boys? (Completely unfounded statement)

Speaking of roster graphics (and just to be clear), am I supposed to do anything else once I've chosen my dude in order to get my picture?

Sleg, I think Anvil is dead.

I'm sorry that I basically going out with a whisper instead of a bang, but between training and University I can barely keep those going, I'm afraid FMW just didn't have a chance with my current schedule.

Well, given how often I'm around, and my lazy, subpar Photoshop skills, this could be a bad combination.

Seriously though, last roster thread was about a year ago. It should be updated, and by this point we probably need new graphics. If I had Anvil's template I'd use his. Mine's not horrible, but it needs to be fine-tuned.

Shock, I'll probably end up taking you up on that offer.

New guy, the only criteria is to stay active. Nothing's more annoying (and disappointing) when you're booked/a roster pic is made for you and then you leave, because it wastes a lot of people's time. So currently, you're doing just fine.

Sorry to hear, sir. If you want to do anything on the way out, let me and Bryson know if possible. Know that as long as the fed is open, you'll be welcome back here.

Good luck in the wrestling biz. I know /wooo/ loves you, but don't forget about us here either.

Oh, it's a known issue. Me and Bryson have been trying to get something done about it, but the big thing is that we need new graphics. So much of this roster now is guys that don't have anything made for them because they're too new, and I don't want to put them in the old roster thread without a picture. We've been planning on making a new roster thread, with new graphics as soon as Anwyl provided them. But right now, for whatever reason, Anwyl is MIA, and there's not much to be done about it. This also leaves us without fancy match graphics for Lethal Injection.

Right now, the plan is wait to hear what's going on with Anwyl. Hopefully we can AT LEAST get a template off of him (I quite like his roster graphics, for what it's worth). If not, then yeah, Kuruk may be next in line for graphics department guy.

Graphics department guy? I must fine tune my skills!

Also, call me Shock. No one calls me by my characters. XD

Not sure if aware of my time constraints...

Or really hates my Photoshop stuff.

I'm not intimately familiar with the details of your time constraints, but I was under the impression that you were too busy to be our full time graphics guy.

I do have a template I could briefly mess with and send to Shock to do the roster graphics. Also, I have Spring Break coming up soon, so that time could be utilized. I mean, "full time graphics guy" is honestly a misnomer, it's not like stuff needs to be churned out every day.

I wish we had a graphics team again, that was always good times.

I wish we had Ro again.

Hello folks, miss me?

My laptop died on me about a week and a half ago. That left me without any internet access and no ability to contact anyone here. I apologize for missing the pay per view event. I didn't even know we were having one yet. Anyway, I have a new computer now and am online, so you consider me able to be booked for the next card, whenever it is.

Well because no one else said anything, I'll say I missed you =)

I know nothing about Graphics, or I would volunteer. As it is, fuck photoshop and all it's bastard children.
