Subject: A bit of venting and next week's card (along with this week's card status)
Ok, first off, I owe all you guys an apology. I haven't exactly been a very good President as of late. Chalk it up to "e-fed burn out". My mind is just at a point where I were a wrestler instead of President, I might ask for time off, or retire for a while. It's a feeling I know all too well (I've "retired" like 10 different times in my career). But as the guy running the show, you really can't succumb to the feeling cause it fucks over everyone else. I've been really wanting to roleplay, but can't because i'm doing the work for here. And before anyone comes at me with "well, you could join a different fed and compete there while running this fed, other people do it", I can't do that. Tried before, and it just doesn't work, something always suffers if I try to split my time. So in a way, I'm stuck with the job of President for a while. Don't get me wrong, I love the job. I've always loved having the entire creative process run through me, and that's probably where I go wrong. I try to do too much, all by myself. It's not that I'm a power freak, my mindset is just that it says "I know what I want to do, and I know I can get my point across better than anyone else could, so I'll do it". But the load piles up after a while, anyone who's run a fed knows that feeling. And that's why so many feds close after only a few weeks. People running it think it's all fun and games until they have to deal with the task of trying to make everyone at least somewhat happy, and to make sure everyone's being used the right way, and judging the roleplays and being as fair as possible, etc. It's more than they can handle, and they just close up.
With all that said, I'm not closing the CWF. Nor am I quitting as President. I'm just venting to the people who would understand this the best because they've been there themselves. I've been running the CWF since september, that makes it 6 Months, that's a lot longer than I've run any fed, and I've enjoyed it all, or I wouldn't be here still. And I'll continue doing it as long as I feel that the fun is still there, and it still is right now. Just gotta fight through a little burn out and lack of motivation.
So, with all that whining out of the way, this weeks card is going to be up today or tomorrow in full for sure. I apologize for the delay. And next week's card is below.
Match 1: Pre Taped before Glory Goes on the air.
Erik Venum vs. Derrick Anderson vs. Sinister vs. Chris Deville vs. Hardcore Khan vs. JP Klash (Six Pack Empty Arena Brawl - Falls Count Anywhere) Winner gets a Hardcore title match at EM4
Match 2: Mike Manson vs. Will M. Kizer (Winner is #1 Contender to the PRO Title)
Main Event : Arioch & Darrin Chaos vs. Travis Smith & Drew Carrig
This even is shortened to allow me the time to prepare for the PPV and Hall of Fame ceremony the following week, and should be viewed as set up to the PPV. So any angles and such, get them to me asap. Don't worry about a roleplay deadline for now...just get something up.

I understand the pressure of running an efed. I tried it and lasted all of 3 months before I said forget it and closed the doors. And I had help so for you to be going for 6 months, I applaud you to the fullest.

this is without a dobet the most bestest fed ive ever been in. Seriously, your good prez and hear is a list of things you can do to make things easier,
first off, the selfish things you could do is:
1. Have a royal rumble with all the cwf and the first ten wrestlers eliminated get fired.
2. Do a half assed job for a while and not tell anyone why.
3. Give the fed to someone who will ruin it (like Manson Chaos or Gyon, lol)
Ok hear are the good unselfish things you could do, and i recommend.
1. Dont worry about things as much as you are, you dont need to make the card 1 million pages, infact it may even be easier to read when its shorter, last weeks was real good, a good length card.
2. Take a break, if you want, think about it, allwe have to do is write a few RP's then enjoy our selves by reading the card, where as you have to read all the RP's then write all the matches and stuff, take a break mate, your trying to make things fair and happy for all of us, but at the aame time your making things hard for your self, i wouldnt last one day as a fed owner yet you have lasted 6 months, wow your real good.
So if DBH was to use his line "Wheres your $500 purple silk shirt?" on you, you'd just reply, "Wheres your great successfull e-fed?".
Prez, i think you should make the ballence in being an owner so that the hard work you put into making us happy, is ballenced out but making your self equilly as happy, otherwise its a wast of time.
thanks for the great work prez, keep it up.

You know if you want time off, just drop me the word and I'll take the CWF over again until your ready. Or if you just want to be a wrestler. I have just enough time in my schedule to write a match a day. Its funny because I hardly write RP's anymore but I find it 100 times harder to write a RP than results. Guess that means I'll be a behind the scenes guy for the rest of my life.
