e-Feds need to have a contingency plan.

[AirBourne]

The conclusion we came to the last time we had this conversation a few months back was that it's a simple case of sink or swim.

I should point out that some feds that have been started have a valid case to start up. For example, the WWE e-fed is a fresh concept that only that fed offers. TCW (or TWE as it is now) offered the chance to participate in a fed that provided fully written shows.
Feds with new concepts that aren't on offer from other feds are all good, but I question why feds that offer nothing different to what's already on offer start up.

I can speak on that. Because they have their own ideas and want to be completely in charge, but I realize that ain't the way. Quality or quantity for eFeds in my opinion.

If people have their own ideas, then they ca apply those ideas into existing feds. The bosses of the feds here aren't dictators. I listen to all ideas that come from all of my creative team, and if the whole team agrees that it's a good idea, we use it. I don't just do what I want to do, I listen to the input of my whole team.

If I remember correctly EWA is associated with JBW, TWE is associated with EWNCW and the way things are going I could see ICW being associated with HWA, so the only actual free fed out there is the WWE one and even that might go. So unless full mergers take place by say September, 6 feds are the likely numbers to have here in eWN; with the mergers of each of the big 3 feds with their smaller associated feds, as stated we could happily go back to just being 3 normal feds with any fed thereafter to be dismissed and closed down asap.

Just throwing that out there.

The problem with the bolded is that the mods decided the last time we had this conversation that they wouldn't do that. They said that they "can't stop anyone who wants to express their creativity" or something like that.

Sadly if things are to change in the eFed section and we want to reduce the numbers of feds there to what used to be the original 3, they will need to dismiss that original train of thought and look at the bigger picture: Less is More!!!

I know, hopefully they realize that.

Hopefully, just thought I would say all of this and see what happens..

It's ok man. It's an age old problem here. Nothing that hasn't been discussed before.

[Poot-Hair]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
You know why some feds are suffering? Because there's too many e-feds and not enough people who want to be on creative around. In other words, we're spreading ourselves too thin.

There's currently 7 e-feds on EWN. 7!! Other forums I've seen have just 1 e-fed, and compared to said other forums, EWN is small believe it or not. So why there's 7 e-feds here is beyond me.
I can understand that there's people that are keen to be creative and all that, but if that's the case, instead of creating a brand new fed, why not join the creative team of an existing fed?

Back when it was just 3 feds all was good here, but once another, and another, and another, and another was created, it's all become spread way too thin. And because of that, when creative personel drop out, some feds struggle to make ends meet.
Take the WWE e-fed s a prime example. THBK has gone AWOL, and Eddie is the only creative person left and has been dumped the responsibility of being in charge of it now. But he's also in charge of HWA, 2 things he can't juggle doing at the same time. Because of that, it's likely that the WWE e-fed will have to close, since Eddie's priority is HWA. Case and point; spreading creative personnel too thin (sorry to use you there Eddie, but I was merely using that case as an example).

Of course, nothing can be done about that since nobody can force any fed to close, but in future, perhaps people should think twice about creating a new fed of their own, and instead, join the creative team of an existing fed if they want to get involved creatively.

You just said everything I was going to Tommy. We have too many efeds here. I personally wish that they would put a limit on the feds here and have 4 tops. EWNCW, JBW, HWA, and one more. There's no need to have this many here, seriously.

[Robareid]

As I've said so many times before, in regards to EWA, I'd just like to point out that I didn't start EWA. I just signed up with a character because at the time because at the time JBW was very quiet. Suddenly, before I knew it, I was in charge of that place. It doesn't have a flashy new concept, and to be quite honest, if it was my decision I wouldn't have made EWA. However, it's been alive too long now, it's grown too big. Too many people are a part of it, and to be honest I couldn't kill it if I wanted to.

In regards to reports that EWA is dieing, sorry everyone, but that's bull. Complete bull. True, recently one of ourt creative members has decided to take a couple of months break, and one has gone inactive. However, I've asked if anybody wanted to help and join creative yesterday, and I've already got three responces. So yeah, we're fine, can't speak for the other feds, but we're fine
