What do YOU want out of APW?

[Casey Angel]

Post your thoughts, opinions, and ideas on how you feel we could make APW a better place for everyone. It could be about anything currently existing in it, something that has happened here, about any members who are no longer here, or any new ideas you would like to see come to life. Don't worry. You will not be banned. WE want to know what YOU want!

[glow=green,2,300]While I watched the last few days, weeks I notice that our roster is not really big enough. We don't have enough members or at least not too many regulary active members. We also have a lack of tag team lately. Which means that the tag team title is quite useless as there are only the Avalanges, England's Finest and Dice & K-Dog who can be considered as active Tag Team.
The other thing is the nationwide title. Not too many challengers or not enough people who wants to challenge for the title. I personally want to see more storylines about the titles like Mr. Vegas and Mr. Cross have shown.

But I don't want to get ride of the tag team title and the nationwide title. I just wanted to state how the current situation is at the moment.[/glow]

[Melissa Armstrong]

I have some ideas...

Make the NW title actualy mean somethan...like make it a ladder type system...and have points involved. like if you have X amount of points you can challenge for Y title.

Have an all inclusive roster wide season long storyline, so if you are having problems finding one for your self, you can jump into that one until you can find one...

Make an incentive for tag teams...because the Tag division here sucks quite frankly.

Maybe get the angels involved with a few in ring storylines, making one or two of them a Mr McMahon or Eric Bischof type character. You know willing to sell out anybody for what they want...willing to screw over champs...go against what peeps obviously want...stuff like that...

just a few ideas for now I will add more when they come to mind.

[King Vegas]

*Agrees with all of these suggestions* BUT...Some of it will of course be up to both the members and the staff of course. Like a storyline between two tag teams feuding over the titles will be mostly up to those two teams ya' know? Now of course people's level of being active is going to play into that as well. If someone isn't on that much, then it's gonna be hard if not damn near impossible to do a feud effectively. Don't know how that could be handled really other than making it harder for people who aren't as active to get titles and title shots maybe? I don't know.

The roster? No it's not big enough. But you have to remember we've lost quite a few people since the doors opened back in November. We should have around 80 members by now if we hadn't. But things happened and whatever and here we are. Can't worry about the past, just gotta keep it going as best we can. But I can honestly say that I believe that a part of why we don't get as many new members is the idea that so many have left, and it's pretty much human nature for when you see others straying from something to do the same. And when we start losing "originals" like Ms. Corban for example, someone who was really a staple for this place, then things have to be looked at a bit closer I think. Heaven forbid we lose anybody else cause I don't know if APW could take another big blow.

I pretty much have fun here, having PornStar in my arsenal will do that for ya, no matter how hard this character I'm posting as gets for me...

But one thing I'm getting, that, well, I'm gonna delve into FCW a bit, especially having talked with a previous member after an incident, is just the laid back atmosphere of it. How some members have thought of this place as a strict operation, nearly as much as VWE, which has turned people off from there before as well. Even to the point that someone was referred to as a Nazi after a post was edited. My suggestion would be to just relax a bit on things that show up, not entirely the recently controversial rule 8 because we don't want to see sex thread after sex thread when we do have a healthy dose of members who are minors, and it's hard to define what is somewhat tasteful.

Another thing I got in those convos, is keeping t he roster informed. I know sometimes things come up that you want to try to run, and sometimes it shows up unexpectadly like the Lindsay Corban incident where she'd already gone through the trouble and set up a battle royale for contention of her title much like I had done with PornStar. In it, she had no idea she was immediately having all of that rp-ing taken away to be forced into a last second title defense, but only got an evil laughter pm, that yes, was sent in a joking manner, but was taken entirely the wrong way, and well, we lost an original over it a few months before she said she'd end havign to drop one of her two feds anyways. Once again, we've had a similar bit come up, where I can actually talk about it now where we've had to write another person out of contention for the Title in the tournament I've got running, in which I pm'd all of the handlers about an idea, where the guy needing to be written out was only given a concussion, and had come up with a "screw the heel over" type of story that was agreed on, which, as we all learned from an imfamous "Pantheon-incident," no matter how much of an RP 1st game that this is, that screw jobs just don't get taken well. So yeah, that's my piece on some things I'm noticing, which, really I'm glad PornStar's here since he's like, ub3r joke #1!!! anyways, and anything can happen to him and I could care less.

I've heard much bally-hoo and such around about the "Big 4" so to speak, that being VWE, APW, FCW and the XWA. Now I've been a member of 3 out of the 4 (having served in the WTF for a few as XXL who I also handle in XWA alongside of Mari), and in doing so, I've not seen more animosity towards members anywhere as I've seen here in APW.

Let's face facts, if not for VWE and LXW, we wouldn't be here. Point blank. VWE lives, LXW doesn't, and now in the wake it's "spawned" 3 different leagues. The operative term here is DIFFERENT. We all know by now the connections between APW and FCW as subtle as they might be. For as much griping and groaning I hear about what XWA is doing, I can tell you right now that XWA and VWE are not worried in the slightest about what the other feds are up to...they're too busy doing their own thing. If APW is to survive it needs to do it's own thing and stop worrying about how many members are in XWA, who's handle them, what's going on there, etc., etc., etc.

If you wan to know, join up. If not, stop worry about what Thr33X and Kaos are doing there, and worry about what The Sisters are trying to do here. I don't see it as competition quite frankly, I see as one place being more focussed than the other. IMO the reason VWE has survived going on 6 years is because there's a team effort there. The reason LXW wasn't was because there wasn't and no, it was not all the fault of the admin, anyone who thinks otherwise is probably a part of the reason the board is in permanent maintenance mode as we speak; ignorant, naive, and self centered...certainly not team worthy traits if you ask me.

This place will never get anywhere if everyone here keeps on worrying about places that aren't worried about APW. The only place this fed needs to worry about is APW. The sooner people let it the hell go (and by it, I mean well...everything) and get on here to have fun, the better off it will be. As is, this fed is slowly bleeding to death and all the negative opinions and such are only adding more wounds.

What do I want? For APW to be about APW.

[Melissa Armstrong]

Maybe a small redesign of the rose title ... Just don't like the butterflies ... they seem to pull away from the presetige of it IMO

[Candice Angel]

I agree with that last statement Ms. Armstrong. It is a bit too girlish?I think that's the word I'm looking for.Something a bit more masculine even though it's for the ladies would be better.

[lindsay]

Inform people of storylines before you throw them into motion so they can at least expect it. Some people(me) aren't very level headed when thrown into a situation that destroys what they had worked towards.

[Joe Bruiser]

I finally have the time to post now lol. Well the one thing that I would still like to see is a Roster Page where there is a pic of each wrestler and all. There were times when I was wondering who all do we have on the roster. SO that would help out alot. Have one for the Roses and then for the men. I did notice as well after the triple and double bookings of last week that we needed more members, so I went and looked around and got us a few more members so hopefully were in better shape now. I agree with Lindsay, don't make the storylines and stuff like that secret.

[pornstar]

More hot chicks and secks for me.

[Mark Cross]

Seriously i think we should consider banning The Rear Naked Choke. I've taken it out of my own moveset because it has been proven that the move is broken resulting in it being banned from several other feds. A clean wrestler using it will be told to break the hold in the ropes three time before letting go and anytime between that first rope break and the last, the person stuck in the hold can still be forced to submit, losing the match. I've personally seen that done on my PS 2 and online with my x-box. As far as I'm concerned at least the move needs to go seeing as how it has been proven to be broken and is just plain cheap to use.

[lindsay]

an immigration office. ran by me.

[Yuki Kenzo]

Yuki think it is good idea....Yuki is from Japan *walks over to Lin and shake her hand...after she breaks the shake..Lin sees the money she has recived*
