HWA (Hardcore Wrestling Association) official thread

[Sully]

Really appreciate the feedback Kash. The color thing, I was pretty much experimenting, I'm going to be trying different things. The only reason I used so many colors, was so nobody had similar colors. Plus, I make Cris Collinsworth color red. I decided to make the color for the commentators black and red, because that looks a little more hardcore. The sad thing about red is, I have to type it in each time...or at least use another color and then change it to red.

This Saturday and Sunday though, I'll be using green and red coloring for Christmas. A little cliche, but it will look a little festive.

As for the word abbreviation, I think I was originally told back on Showdown to use abbreviations instead of colors as a specific example, but if you wish, I will start using names instead. I'll also consider using that method while writing HWA shows too, but if the users read just a little bit more before certain things, they could figure out who it is.

For example, at the beginning of the show, I not only announce Cris Collinsworth and Gus Johnson, but I also color code their names in that announcement, as sort of a legend key for the show. I get what you're saying though, so I'll think about it, at least for character promos. Announcer wise, they ARE announced at the beginning of the show like I just said, and even though it wouldn't take that much longer typing out the extra character or two, it's still sort of a habit that I'd have to break, and it does save a little time.

Once again though, I appreciate the feedback. This week's show will not use as many colors. I think I'll use the two colors for commentators, bold and italicized for actions like I've been doing, and then blue and green for promos. Well this week, I'll actually be using all black for promos like Kash said, because I won't have to use black for Collinsworth, and then I'll probably use green for promos with more then one character.

and now YOU. Could the panzers cuss ANY more? lol

Well yes they cam just wait for their next promo, lol. Seriously though, I can tone it down- or just do without it. Or I use the German words for the f word or the s word or the p word.

I look at it like this.

I forget the name of the HWA announcers every week and have to go back to the begining of the last Legacy every time I write a Brick promo (after this conversation I won't ever forget them, as, well, typing about Cris and Gus has made me familiar with them.), but if the announcers were clearly named, that wouldn't be a problem. When your eyes read the initials, the brain then has to not only process the letters, but also remember the name and then fit it into what you are reading which takes away from the overal flow of reading and therefore takes away from the enjoyment of it all... Plus, it's just downright lazy

I have an idea, and to get that idea out there -and over- I have to make everything as clear and as eye catching as possible at all times.

A confused reader, whether skimming or reading word for word, is not a happy reader.

The skimmers are just as important as those awesome enough to read the whole show, as every voice helps when it comes to getting over in this EFed thing. HWA is not the only other fed other than JBW that does the initial thing ("The Other Guys" are very guilty of this too.), but HWA is the one I read the most, so I thought as a reader I'd pipe up and do what I can to help you guys to entertain me even more.

That's a good point *goes and changes everything over in EWA for the next show*

Yeah, there were a few times when reading I did have to look to see who "??" was- and I was viewing on my phone so I had to go back a page or two.
