e-Feds need to have a contingency plan.

[SilverGhost]

I see the concern and I do agree that we have too many efeds.

Here is what I propose: mergers.

Do we really need separate organizations? Somehow I don't think so. Especially when these organizations sometimes share ONE character for both. And the multiple use of characters for different organizations is a bit excessive( efed love taken to the next level lol)

So this is my idea: The top writers who have partnerships(Ex: JBW and EWA) get together and work out a merger. That way if a user that has multiple characters on both organizations will have an easy access and one stop place. The catch is that there will be more shows
(Ex: Monday Night YADAYADA, TUESDAY NIGHT CURLYMOUSTACHES, THURSDAY NIGHT YO MOMMA!) but seeing how it will be compressed and easy also giving the fact that most of you will be working with the same guys you know shouldn't be much of a problem.

Just throwing it out there. I do want a less number of feds though.

[Yes2J]

A few points I would like to make based on what I have seen:
Real life does always take precedent, and it is VERY understandable. Basically when real life interferes too much, and forces someone to step down, they're simply a victim of circumstance.
I am taking over ICW, true, but I am not about to make guarantees on how long I will do it for. Unfortunately I find myself with less and less time to do things now-a-days. I started out 2010 going to college for the first time, next came some personal issues with friends and former-friends. Moving into 2011 I found my calling, to be in a band, in addition my newly acquired job, and college. Rolling into 2012, my band was playing shows, I started struggling in college back in Fall semester 2011. My grades have started to get back on track with the exception of one low grade. My band is always top priority. My romantic life has never really shown up until recently, and now I've committed myself to a second band, at least for summer. I am here right now, though, so I'll do what I can.

As far as Tommy's point about less feds, or a more widely recognized set of talent, creative, and promotions. I don't know my history of these other feds. I probably won't have time to play catch-up (which, btw, is my biggest fear with my first PPV attempt).

I actually had posted a thread a while back that was the "eFed Free Agent Thread", which of course had already been attempted before. I feel like too many people have too many investments, and like AirBourne said, spread themselves too thin.
I am unsure how much longer I will even want to be "Slick Nelson" as a wrestler in ICW, and rather, focus strictly on writing.

Maybe all fed owners can come upon an agreement, a Declaration of Independence (how fitting) sized agreement, for all eFedders past and present to follow.
For instance: There is an allowance of up to 2 characters per user. Either you get to have one character in one fed, and a second in a different fed, or being 'Creative' for one fed, in addition to being a character on the same, or different fed.
Or some sort of guideline, just to prevent issues.
Maybe there should be an age limit? I mean maybe that's part of the circumstance. Though I'm a late bloomer in regards to a lot of things, now things are getting a tad more hectic in my life, and a TON more important. As it is, when school kicks in, I'll have to reduce to one band, work, and school. I might not even be on as "Slick Nelson", not to consider dropping my tasks as creative. With Destruction, I intend to work something out.

Secondly, maybe every fed could use a bit of extra coordination.
To keep from getting overwhelmed with writing, while other, more difficult, real-life problems (or generally any real life events) occur, all feds could use a certain rotation. Maybe writing out a real-life schedule, or just denoting who is busiest when, can help keep shows on time, as well as give everyone a chance to recharge and get back to reality.
This will hopefully avoid any dramatic changes that would otherwise need to be made.

Third, AirBourne, very proud that you are speaking your mind. I was really curious as to why you were so outright supportive of my decision to step up. I appreciate it. Destruction? is going to be a large help, if not currently more help than I am for the next week+, and deserves all the same support. As the saying goes: When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
This is going to be fun, different, brand new, exciting, stressful, time consuming, slowed-down, chaotic, enjoyable, entertaining, risky, a gigantic success (or possible failure), a lot of disappointment, a learning experience, and all the other forms of emotion and experience possible.
As long as everyone's there, nothing can go too wrong.
Thanks for that mate.

Just a quick thought regarding limiting characters. In my eyes, we shouldn't be limiting people's creativity. Some people have the time to do more characters, others can only do one. I don't think it's fair for us to regulate what they're able to do

[KJ PUNK]

I too think there should be a cut down on Efeds. I recently joined up with the creative team for HWA and it's just a hassle in itself for me to send promo assignments, write the shows and then finally do my own characters promos. I don't see how people can do all that and add 4 different characters and having multiple promos in different feds. It'll just stress them out and cause burn out, which will make people leave the feds.

I personally only have one character as I am new to this and feel multiple characters would do my head in but I have seen other forums where there are 3 or 4 or even 5 characters per person and they do exceptionally well for the most part.

If the person is capable of doing it let them I say.

Well, I am bossman in chief for EWA, have Rob Rage for HWA and JBW, Harry Richards in HWA and JBW with his tag partner Mark Exley in HWA too, and I also have a fair few EWA characters. It's all about your limits as a person, there is no "one size fits all"

This is what needs to happen.

EWNCW are already doing this with TWE. TWE is serving as a developmental system to EWNCW (think of it as FCW to our WWE). Any new talent (that's brand new people that are 1st time e-fedders on EWN with new characters) that signs up to EWNCW are sent to TWE to start off, and they have to work their way through there if they want to make it to the main EWNCW roster. Some of the main roster talent also appear on TWE to beef it up, but predominantly, it's an entirely new roster of talent.
But in short, all TWE related stuff is coordinated under the EWNCW banner. It's part of the the EWNCW fed.

I'm aware that JBW are affiliated with EWA, but I'm not sure if their agreement is similar or not to ours, but from what I've seen, it's not as closely affiliated as perhaps it should be. Making EWA a full on developmental system for JBW would be in the best interest.

My suggestion is that HWA should arrange a similar deal with ICW. That way, we're helping this situation more.

So eventually, we'd have 3 main feds (EWNCW, HWA and JBW) with each fed having it's own developmental system in the shape of TWE, EWA and ICW.
The future of the WWE e-fed is up in the air right now really. The final show might well have taken place last night. My opinion is that that fed is very different to a normal e-fed since you get to RP as an a real wrestler, it's a kind of hybrid of an e-fed and BTB thread. So IF there's a way for that fed to continue, then I don't really see a problem with that.

But as for the pure e-feds, it's in the best interest for them to become full on developmental fads for the larger ones IMO. I know that some might not like that. I know that some will argue that "well this fed is too big to be a developmental fed" or whatever, but the fact is, something needs to be done about this problem, and this is a sensible solution.

What happened with THBK, wasn't he in charge of The WWE fed??

I feel this one may be directed at me. So yeah, what I'm saying is: what problem? What's this big problem you're speaking of, because we don't have it over in EWA. Do you mean the lack of creative members? If so, we have no problem there. If others feds are having problems, then I could understand them going development for one of the bigger feds, but I don't feel it's necessary to just have a "one size fits all" solution, and each case should be looked at individually

One problem is not enough creative personnel to go round.
The main problem however is that there's simply too many e-feds.
