A FEW WORDS

[theegomjw]

When the AWA started rumbling again and it became known that things were starting back up, ill be honest, i was not all that excited.

i started back up out of loyalty more than anything, as my character was/is the 'champion' i felt responsible but i was planning in the back of my head to quickly drop the belt and move on, maybe to a new character or maybe just to help out backstage.

i actually felt i might get left behind anyway, everyone seemed so excited, people were joining, the board itself was going to change etc etc etc

but then something clicked and i started to love it again, sorting the board out, writing shows and RPing.

and now what...not a fucking lot and thats the problem.



lets get right down to it.

do we have an efed or fucking not?

im not writing shows, putting in time and effort that i could happily spend elsewhere on a place that is livign on borrowed time.


so lets all be honest!

[Dominic Slay]

I don't blame you. And thats part of the reason for my last post. To be completely truthful, to the people who make the fed run on both ends...I'd love to continue developing Dominic Slay into a great character, and here's the place to do it. But can we survive for more than a month, even if everyone buckles down and starts roleplaying, before things get stale again with only a few active members?

What we need is an influx of old blood. Or possibly...maybe an AWA stable in another federation? If the itch to write is there, there are always ways to make it possible.

[theegomjw]

i thought i had lost interest, but i love writing and i THINK im ok at it, i enjoy doing the shows and enjoy being my character.

i kinda like the idea of a few of us heading somewhere and having some fun, but ill be totally honest right now...i like having a say in what happens, thats not because i want to have everything go my way...far from it, hence why MJ losses often...but i think i have a good idea of what makes goos storylines.

however, if we are flogging a dead horse with the AWA and if you are up for it...then Whitey, ill stand with you and head somewhere as a fuckign awesome team.

[AWA Staff]

All I have to say is FUCK YOU

That was TOTALLY my idea 4-5 months ago! lol



I don't have anything to say against you guys because I have been roleplaying as Jake and Crazy Bill even though I didn't want to get involved with Crazy Bill this much....I did it cause I like where Kokaine was going and I wanted the fed to come alive again.

But, without real leadership, it's going to die again. Timmy wants to keep the ownership thing a secret from everyone but, he's never around to come out and finally post it so, no one really know what the hell is going on.

Props to you Luke for your r/p of taking the reigns and the Connection being in charge! That was great on your part brother!

But, Timmy and I can't run three people to try and keep the place going like there's fresh blood in the water. No one can. Cause I know Timmy was going to r/p as himself, and Jonas if his brother couldn't

That's just not enough though. We lost James Lucas, AJ....Ripper's a flake and I'm glad he didn't join back up. We lost Chris (monroe) who was going to rework the site to make it look less boring.

Looks like:
Real life-2 AWA-0

I waited all week for Koke to put out a r.p against Jake and then finally gave in and did one to hopefully spark a fire under him to get a few in.....but...it's no big deal...Life happens and sometimes we can't be bothered.

But for Fuck's sake....I haven't been in the mood to r/p as Jake Andrews for the past two weeks and I still did one....I managed to find a 30 fucking minutes to do one roleplay.... and then I found another 30 minutes to do one as Crazy Bill. So, sure....you can claim it's cause you work 60 hours a week, your wife's pregnant, you have lots of school work, sports practice....

But most of you can take 2-6 hours a week to play with your fantasy football team but can't spare 30 minutes to bust out one decent roleplay?


I say some of us find a fed like the AWA and go in as an awesome team/stable...of course, that shouldn't surprise anyone as I said the same fucking thing months ago!


BAH!




Sorry but....I tried with Wikia, Facebook, Emails...I've even been banned from 6 feds because I joined just to try and get people to join the AWA.....I spent a good amount of time to try and get the AWA going again and it's just pissing me right the fuck off! BAH! I feel like Donzig right now and I fucking HATE IT!

[Dominic Slay]

I think it should be taken to a vote, then. I'm all for heading somewhere else with as many people as possible. Join a decent sized, fairly run efed as a new stable coming in. It'd probably interject more life into both us AND whatever place we went to...everything would be fresh...storylines would be different...

I saw let the memory of the AWA die with a little bit of dignity, and we tear shit up somewhere else.

[AWA CEO: Mr. Timothy Draven]

It is your decisions. I have explained why I have not been here and if anyone has an issue with it, fuck it. My relationship with my fiancee has gone to shit and I've been inbetween being here with her, trying to make it work, and moving things into my fucking parents house. On top of it, college started back up (although I can RP and do college at the same time) but add that to almost needing surgery on my back, going to the chiro/PT three times a week for my back, and taking care of my daughter as much as I need to, makes for a pretty fucking hectic life. If things weren't so insane with my fiancee, I would be here full time right now.

As for my brother, he wants to be here as well. Work will be slowing down for him in a couple of weeks. On top of working 60+ hours a week, his woman has been working OT and it's the hours when he's home from work, so he's been being full time Daddy to his 2 year old son, which I give him credit for. Anyone who knows the background of my brother, knows that him stepping up and being a man and a father is amazing.

As for James Lucas, I have talked to him. Just so you all know, James is my next door neighbor. The kid loves the AWA and was fired up to start RPing again. Then his 90yr old grandfather (who lives with him and his family) fell and broke his hip. He needed surgery and is now not doing too well. On top of it, Lucas is a teacher, and here in upstate NY, classes just began last week. So he's been trying to get back into the swing of things there, and see his grandfather as much as possible because they are worried he might pass away.

So, there you have it. Give a couple weeks, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, and the "owner" storyline will be taken care of, and Jonas Lee and James Lucas will be back....I also gave ideas of storylines to run with the Jonas Lee and James Lucas characters. So, although they're not here, I've been trying to help as much as possible.

Again, if you guys want to leave, leave. Your call. Do I think the AWA can still function as an awesome, smaller e-fed? Yes I do. Maybe make shows every other week. That way, people can RP for two weeks and really build a feud, rather than every week fighting someone else. Also, if we booked matches differently, then there would be a good way of keeping feuds fresh.

I also made a suggestion to everyone to run two characters. Your main character and a side character that you can RP with every once in a while....for example, I plan on RPing as Jonas Lee to help my brother out if he can't be arounf that week....I also planned on RPing as The Enforcer (long time bodyguard of Timothy Draven) and if needed, maybe RP as Tyson Bronx (new bodyguard of Timothy Draven).....Bill was RPing as Jake and as Bill....if everyone had a secondary character, (doesn't need to be a fulltime character), then there could be ways of keeping things fresh. You wouldn't be booked with both characters in one week, unless you wanted to.

Again, there are ways to make to work, as long as everyone wants it to work. Do I want it to? Fuck yes. Am I 100% free right now? Unfortunately no, and thats because I'm about to lose my fiancee of three years, and a damn good friend of ten years (yes, I'm talking about Kristin for both situations there)....and someone who is a damn good step-mom to my daughter.....so yeah, I'm doing what I can to keep my relationship together.

Do I want people to stay here? Yes....but again, it's your decision. If you want to leave, peace out. The AWA will carry on one way or another.

[James Lucas]

There's a partial promo from me. take it or leave it. timbo sent me a text saying that people were upset about the AWA and about me not being around. so there you go, theres a promo. its something.

[theegomjw]

none of this is person.

what it is is how people feel.

my concern is if i was not putting in the effort to 'run' this place then it would fall to Bill who is busy, if he couldnt then it falls to you Timmy who is also too busy, therefore the AWA board would end up looking like a ghost town without show cards, show matches, updated threads etc.

i kinda brought into the fact that this place was getting going again and it hasnt.

the AWA is yours, always will be...but do i continue to invest my time and effort and just wait until you can come in and take over?

im creative, i want to plan ahead and make things happen but i cant do that when i know you can come in and change it all.

thats not me bitching Timbo, you know that. its me just being honest and open.

sometimes it is difficult constantly being a 'caretaker owner' because i know when it comes down to it i do not have control.

basically, i love helping out but this place needs it full owner to be around and in full control so that the lines stop being blurred.

so im looking forward to you being back for good.

[-The Myth- Marcus Cooper]

I'm sorry I havn't been around mates. But I got taken on this family trip right before school started. My rents wanted to take my little brother and sister to the grand canyon. I was not thrilled to have to go along. Anyway I should be back now to at least get 2-4 roleplys in during the wk. I hope the AWA doesn't go down. i had fun my first wk around and hope to have some more fun in the comming wks.




if the awa is gonna go somewhere else and be a stable. I'd love to be part of it! I just wanna write! lol

[AWA CEO: Mr. Timothy Draven]

Ya know Luke, I would never, in a million years, expect you of all people to post shit ON the site. We have a "Private, Owners/Staff" section for shit like this. If you have some issue over "running" this place, then you could have talked to me in a PM, in the "Staff" section or you could have sent me a message on Facebook, which would have come directly to my phone....instead, you posted shit ON the site, like we've always told people NOT to do. Thats something that I do not understand. You and I have been friends for long enough that I feel I have a right to say something about this....so Luke, my brother, stop being a fucking cunt!

[Dominic Slay]

Tensions are running high for no reason. Honestly, Timbo, what you posted didn't exactly have friendly vibes to it, either. Whether that was intentional or not I don't know, and honestly it doesn't matter. What was said was said, on all parties involved.

I'm not saying I'm jumping ship, and nobody else has either. I just thought discussing our options as a group would be the best way of handling things, so I brought up the obvious problems the fed has been having.

Actually, I can't imagine going somewhere new without at least a few of the core group and some newcomers.

[theegomjw]

Timmy, ill message you.

but for everyone elses understanding, and my own as i feel kinda attacked...

i have re-read my post i can not see anything wrong with it.

i went real soft with it because

(a) - i do know that we do not want 'bitching' on the boards, hence why i pointed this out in the actual post

(b) - this issue is not life and death, its about an efed. in the context of the AWA continuing it is important, outside of that it does not compete with real life issues.

(c) - me and you are friends, have known you for long than a lot of my current friends and we have 'fallen out' once i think. so why would i do anything to directly screw that up?
i wrote a gentle post to express how i was feeling.



and i ended the post by saying i was looking forward to when you can return full time!!!

if thats wrong then i honestly have no idea how to counteract that.


anyway, thats the last ill say of it here.

[SLAM II]

NOW WE HAVE COWBOY BUTTSEX!!!

[AWA CEO: Mr. Timothy Draven]

I already said this to Luke in the "staff" section and I'll say it here...I meant my post and what I said in it, but me telling Luke to "stop being a cunt" was my attempt to end the convo on a "light" note. I was not in any way attacking him. I would never do that. Like I said, I was serious about my post because there are some things I'm not "ok" with about this post, but I did not want to come across as I was pissed or being an asshole, so I said the "cunt" thing to try to lighten my post up. I apologized to Luke and I will to the rest of you. In no way did I want you guys to take it as me being disrespectful toward Luke.

[theegomjw]

i said i had given my last word on this.

well, i lied.

my last words will be that we are all stupid bitches some times, myself included.

but one thing that remains constant and will never ever change is that whilst all else fails...
