The Esteban thread

[D!]

Awright. Just so people know what this is about.

A short while back, we had an application for two Superstars, one being Sid Biafra, the other one being Esteban. They wanted to call themelves "The Beasts" as a tag team, which, unfortunately, happens to already be one of our Superstar's names.

Pres mentions this and asks if they'd mind changing the name. The response he got, as you might imagine, was pretty childish.

What's infinitely f'n worse is that he started getting replies talking about how the RPs on our board sucked, how all we did was post less than 20 lines per post (Maniac, Minstrel, Doomriders, Me . . . we have been served.) They then proceeded to tell the President, a veteran who's been doing this for years, how to RP and what our house style should be.

So needless to say, he passed.

So in effect, I'm taking Esteban's ongoing tantrum as a sign that we're not missing that much. I mean, Jesus, can you imagine this toddler if he (gasp) LOST a match?

There's going to be clean-up here soon, meaning Esteban's posts will be deleted and his sorry ass banned. UNTIL then, do what I do and try to put his rantings to music.

Jago, thank you for being the voice of reason for once. Jacob, I heart you for your determination to stand up for us, but would like you to ingore assflaps like this in the future. And by the Power of Double Standard, I commend Brion for reaming him a new one.

Now I'll bet you'd love to see some MNF happen. Sit tight and the results are a-coming.

Edit: the show's up in the RP Board so as to not get vandalized.

I love that argument. Obviously any roleplay worth its weight HAS to be a boring, overblown windbag affair.

Now don't get me wrong, D-X has definitely had its share of long-winded promos. (Hey, there's TWO guys talking!) But if I can cut down my opponent in five words and still be able to have character development? I'll take that way out, man.

Back when I first started e-fedding here in October, I decided to check out what the house style of some other feds were. One fed I came across, I saw this one promo by a female wrestler that was, lessee, maybe one or two paragraphs dealing with her opponent, and a novella about picking out a dress and preparations for prom ten years prior.

I stopped three lines in, and skimmed the rest of the page, rolling my eyes of how melodramatic it was. Seriously, did ANY of this have to do with the match she was taking part in? I didn't think so, and I wasn't about to invest an hour of reading into figuring out if her opponent decided to take the prom into Carrie-land or whatever. No emotional attachment to it on my part.

Granted, then there's the other side: The feds that consist of teenagers lacking writing skills playing at a garbage fed where anything goes because they're too interested in protecting their character at the cost of everyone else involved.

I'm sure the veterans on this board remember the one little spammer that showed up about three weeks into NAPW, and PMed most of the guys to check out his fed. I did. And i laughed for a good two hours reading the crap on that board. Apparently, it went for two weeks before imploding.

In any case, who is ANYONE to say what goes on a certain board? I picked NAPW on the ground floor simply because I wanted to play fantasy-wrestling writer, and the opportunity arose with the Pres. And, holy crap, I think I made the right choice. Especially when I saw roleplayers like Rex and Casino, Maniac and Evan, JC Cook and the Doomriders jump aboard a few months in. And it's a pretty good place for newbies into e-fedding to start with, since there's pretty much almost a family aspect going on, like someone mentioned with the ECW locker room allusion.

So, while I'm not the kind of guy who'll go around challenging any and all feds unless it's sanctioned by that heads (Damn, I really would have liked to see that inter-promotional card go up), I'm definitely happy with my lot here. Even when jackasses decided to troll my board. There's only room for one troll here, and that's THIS jaded, sarcastic old guy.

Make mine NAPW. EXCELSIOR!

Now, to do this takes month of practice and stealth. You can't just show up and brag about how good you are and how other people should do things... because as I've told people in the past, they can (BLEEP) themselves. You need to work hard and befriend the owner, using e-fed politics to get yourself a spot as either a booker or a judge and then you have the power to criticise and influence. I mean, I was a judge in SCCW (which none of you probably know about, but it's mentioned in the UWP history I think) and in it's prime those guys were busting 2500 to 4000 words each rp but it was all filler. And not interesting filler like conversations about musicians or the price of cheese, but stuff like "oh my God I have amnesia" and "ten years ago". It was boring. I've been guilty of it in the past, hell I still do it now in COPW (where I've managed to become a booker ) and will do it here in NAPW when I develop JC a bit more... Wait, the point is you can't have a go at people because they rp different from you! Jackass!

P.S. Cory if you're reading this, I don't use my power for corrupt practices

I just won't mention the irony of taking 30 lines to get my point across. =)

Damn, JC, you a bad mamma-jamma today.


PS: somebody book this man next week! =D

[D!]

Oh, he'll be booked alright.

MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Wow, my computer breaks down and all of a sudden things go crazy and then back to normal again before I know what's going on. I'm kind of sad I missed the Estoban Fiasco, but the more I hear from Jago, the more I'm NOT sad...

I will never forgive myself for missing these posts, did anybody by any chance save them perhaps make a DVD collection of this priceless moment of NAPW history?
