Retiring.

[jontees]

After thinking long and hard I have decided to retire from role playing at least in the foreseeable future. I no longer have the drive or the passion that I once did. My retirement depending on what Pibb says in his response to my e-mail about it will either take effect immediately or following our one and only tag match in NAPW. But It makes no sense to me to continue doing something that feels as though it’s a chore. Pibb will not be left out on a lurch by no means as he is versatile in singles as well as tag team competition. I sincerely apologize if anyone feels let down by this, but its simply something I must do. He also has my permission if he wishes to do so to Reform the Syndicate with anyone else he wishes.


Sincerely

Jon Tees.

Handler of Jon and Rick Tees.

Aha! Flee before the might that is UZI!!!

All kidding aside dude, I'm sad to see you go, I was looking forward to pitting my guy against you someday, and it's MY loss that it will never happen.

Best to you where ever you may wander...

I see a lot of missed possibilities actually, but in some instances its better to not do it half heartedly. I have retired before a few times only to return later on when the desire, time and passion returned, so all things are possible.

Honestly there have even been instances where I’ve “retired due to an extreme case of writers block and such” Only to have an idea strike me and return a few short days later at a higher peak then before I left. So perhaps addressing this as a “Break” or a “Leave of absence” would have been a more correct way of doing so.

Good luck to everyone.

What I perceived as a lack of over all passion was more or less boredom over the direction of my characters. I am tweaking some things and will stay in the mean time if welcomed to do so after my latest work.

wooo competition!

He quits... no, he's back... only to quit again... then defy the odds and he's somehow... BACK! WOOHOO! Somebody stop me.

Hey, The Tees, I hope you realize that only "Sick" Billy is Canadian, while Evan and Casino are both American, like yourself. Also, I've remained quiet about this, because I realize what a putz you want your character(s) portrayed as, but this is getting pretty ugly now. I'm not above jingoism, and I light-heartedly believe that every race is open to criticism, particularly my own.

I was born here in the states, but my mother was born in Mexico and my father's grandparents were from Mexico on one side and Austria on the other. I am a child of immigrants and I cannot deny my sympathy to their plight. I don't agree that they should be given willy-nilly access to every right that citizens enjoy, but they should be recognized and classified for what they are: a viable and frequently-used source of labor. I highly doubt that you or your fellow chums are willing to go pick fruit, corn, or cotton on the circuit or mop up sh*t in a fast food restaurant when the need for a job arises. Either way, Mexicans make up a necessary segment of the population and shouldn't be ridiculed for doing what they have to do to make a living and offer their children a better education. When I see you making your lame Pedro jokes of "Que? Si Senor? No Speakee English?" I realize what a truly lame and pathetic person you are. Sure, try and hide behind your "controversial/shocking" moniker and say its all an act, but there's always a kernal of truth to the things we say or write about. You, sir, are portraying yourself to be a one of those fat, stupid white men.

I don't mean to start a debate about the whole immigration thing, and I don't support those stupid people that try to "represent" the raza by waving around Mexican flags. This is the US, wave only the stars and stripes, period. But when you go about and continue defiling the Mexican flag and assault our senses with the nasty image of pasty-white, fat Boss Hog Tees rubbing the flag towel all over his ass and raisins... it gets pretty old and pretty sad real quick. Do you have a right do put all this crap up? Absolutely. Is it welcome, by anyone in NAPW other than you? I highly doubt it. Quit insulting my culture of origin's heritage before I get really nasty with you, and believe me, you do not want that. Here's an idea, try doing a RP of quality and substance without resorting to Mexican bashing or tranny breast milk. Your attempts to "shock" only serve to further the ridicule already building against you.

Point taken but you must understand that when I go into character I go completely in. So often my character will do/say things that myself as a person actually wouldn’t do or say. These two were the last of the whole Tees’ vs Mexico issue as its getting old apparently. I have several Hispanic relatives and feel compassion toward the plight of illegals who only want to provide a better life for their children and themselves. These two role plays were done to show the finality of the whole me vs Mexico thing with Jon Tees reaching a breaking point after being accused of being the one to burn the Mexican flag when it was actually rick. That worker who I beat up didn’t speak English it was only assumed that he was from Mexico but I never stated anything to confirm or deny this. I apologize if you took offense and it sounds you did but those two role plays you addressed are the last of their kind. My characters are heels and are supposed to invoke anger and hatred from people. If they are doing so then I’m doing my job with them. These aren’t the people who get cheered from the rafters in spite of having heel traits.

thats true - and on another ooc post, Boston Dave (i believe) said it was better to imply your point. Which you did.

[jontees]

As you will find out in my next piece. The motivation of the character (s) attacks targeting Mexico are more politically motivated then they are relating to ethnicity.

[Krusty Kid Paul]

Ohh retire already hahaha

j/k

KKP you are the hot dog bomb diggity.

Krusty Kid Paul-O forever!

gimmick infringement? lucky PB isn't here, classless...

[stein]

The Platinum Standard? Sounds familiar.

Edit: Nevermind, read the whole thing, I change my vote to "dumb".

Further edit: Stop saying Mexican.

Contrary to what is actually stated in the role play itself the Platinum standard and the Platinum boot have existed since 2002 they were just originally used by a character named Alex Singleton in a fed called swo. So actually the names were used because everything else is named Gold this and gold that. Why not something Platinum or silver? The Platinum boot by the way as the name implies would be something to behold. As it’s a giant hotel, casino and spa shaped like a boot. Something like nothing else.

Platinum boot est 2002.

Platinum standard est 2002.

Jon Tees with an implied Mafia gimmick- 2003.


E-wrestling is a small world as it relates to the number of coincidences. I gave props to Pit Boss as it relates to making it seem as though I’d stolen the idea from him, although it has existed since 2002 and myself and others have used it before as a back drop.
