Ok..you decided to read on. Than you must understand that I have no intentions on "offending" anyone, attacking any individual person, or degrade the AWO.
I was sitting down last night watching one of my favorite movies "Jerry McGuire". At the begining of the movie Jerry writes a mission statement about how greedy sports agents have become, and listed suggestions on how things could be improved. That is what I intend to do here. I don't think that all of my suggestions may be right for the AWO at this point, but I refuse to suggest anything that would have a negative affect on The AWO.
OK! First of all, we need to stop making excuses. We seem to have this belief that everyone will return to the fed and everything will be saved. Let's try pretending that Mike Polowy, Josh "The Webmaster" and all the other hopefulls are not coming back, and lets move on. If they do come back than we are even better, if not at least we are prepared. I'm sure there are lots of free agents out there, and we need to start pulling some of them in, even if Polowy and other wrestlers do decide to return.
And what the fuck is up with the main page? Do we have one or not? I dont' care if the head line reads HK is a ______...as long as the _____ is replaced at least once ever 1-2 weeks. Shay has shown he knows how to do it, it doesn't take a lot of effort to freshen up the little main page that we do have.
How about in the long term we attempt to merge with another fed? If another struggling efed president accepted a merge we would be able to double our roster, and possibly get a few other results writers within our reach. It's not as hard to do as you might think, i've gotten interest from feds in the past in a fed that I ran, and I worked it out so I only had to write 50% of the results and the other president did the other. This opens the fed up for invasion angles and power struggles, and basically "shakes" things up around here.
If results are to difficult to get up every week how about using a simulator..such as "zeus" to write at least the lower card matches. Not only does this make it easy to post results on time, it gives a reason for lower card wrestlers to try and take the next step so that they can have written results instead of simmed. It would give people some kind of a reason to want to stay in the upper card level.
If this fed truly wants to be something great, wayyyyyyy down the road, we should consider a minor league. Perhaps 10 wrestlers on the main roster, and all other wrestlers in a minor league until their is room to be bumped. This would make sure that the wrestlers in the AWO at least know what they are doing before they are ready to take the step up to The AWO main roster.
Another issue is the links to sites on the main page. There should never be a need for anyone to make a roleplay to see "whoe is left" in the fed. Some kind of cheap roster page would do the trick, and listing the champions would also be a nice touch as well.
Other feds have extra things such as Pay roles, merchaindise and stuff like that, but I think we need to pay attention to the little things to keep this fed moving in a possitive direction.
Feel free to reply, but please don't whine about how HK is a jerk and I don't know what I'm talking about. Just honestly consider my ideas and things may get better.
