Hello.
So, I've had a few discussions with people that I'm close to and talk to often about this but I want to get a feel of what everyone wants to do. Obviously, I thought the schedule was a fun little wrinkle for the fed. Something different that people don't see often in the efed world. I knew going in to this that it was going to be my biggest hurdle to overcome with people. A lot of people coming in here came from one of two options: 1. The shows were every other week and 2. The shows were weekly. I had no issue with weekly shows, but I didn't think it was something people wanted. I wanted to create a schedule that help keep people engaged and give people with a stricter work/life schedule some flexibility. I was afraid if I put shows on Saturdays but some people work every Thursday and Friday night, that it would really deter them from being able to participate.
I just don't know if the alternating Wednesday and Saturday shows are working early on here.
I've had multiple people questioning me the week of shows about RP deadline clarification.
I've been weighing the pros and cons of the schedule.
Pros:
People who untimely join right after a new show is posted don't have to wait two weeks to get booked for a show. Let's say I post Ascension Saturday (I will) and then card for that next show that night. Someone comes and joins WLCW on Sunday, but the card is booked..so they'll have to wait - feasibly a month - to get a match on a show. The way it is now, people don't have to wait that long to get in on the action (Yes, I know things like Eruption and Social Media board make up for that length of time)
Two separate show days for variety (also, ironically a con)
I get to use two cool show banners made for me by Drew
Cons:
Confusion on what show is taking place currently
People just generally not liking the Wednesday show / Tuesday deadline
I just want to have a discussion here and talk to you all and figure out what would work best for you. Ultimately and obviously it's my call. Forced to make a decision right now, we push forward with the same schedule...but I also think it's a matter of getting you guys into a routine and rhythm you're not used to and that once this starts to become normal, we'll all be fine and fall into it perfectly. That being said, if this schedule is really genuinely disliked and not wanted, I'm definitely willing to talk it out and figure what works best. I don't specifically want to go to bi-weekly because I feel like it stifles storytelling and feuds (but I could be wrong).
You can not and will not hurt my feelings. Even if you come in here and say that the schedule is stupid and I should eat shit and die. Brett basically messages me that every morning as motivation. So tell me what's on your mind and your thoughts on our current schedule and any changes or alterations you'd like to see made or think might work.
