I've lost it. I just can't do e-Fedding anymore. My idea's and my passion and energy have just burned out. As I'm posting this at Valor/WFWF, I am officially asking for my release from the fed(s). Don't take it personal, its not any of you guys, you are some of the kewlest peeps I know, but e-Fedding, as Kyzer so bluntly put it, is becoming more of a chore. I didn't get my 61/378 posts by sitting around here and doing nothing, and I've been alot active on both boards. When I left Valor the first time, I was in the wrong by ignoring everyone and not telling you guys, but now I'm just coming straight up. I hope none of you guys change your ways about me, and I know I'm new to both feds, but time is really getting to me, and my energy for RP'ing is done. Now I'm still sticking around the e-Fed to comment on RP's, and talk OOC and give feedback on anything else, but as for Rodney Paine the character, he's done for now. I hope all you guys can understand me on this situation. I'm sorry to Hardcastle and Immune, who I promised I'd give 100%, when I didn't. Don't delete my Valor account tho, as I intend to still stick around for you guys OOC wise. As for WFWF, I am too sticking around OOC wise and giving feedback, but I just don't think I can handle it. But, I do wish my character, Rodney Paine, be taken out with an injury, as I don't intend to TOTALLY leave the fed. I do know I'll be back in the coming months RP-wise, when I have some time to myself and feel more RP-friendly. For now, don't make me quit, just put me on the Semi-Active Roster for now.

I'm a little tipsy/buzzed right now from my usual Friday routine, so please don't take these comments personally. WTF?! This is really becoming redundant and a serious pain in the ass. In my honest opinion and experience, there's no way people can be that friggin' busy. I know the majority of the people here are in HS, but so was I when I first got active. I had 5 active characters in 4 feds at the same time and never quit. I only stopped because I moved from Chicago to VA in 98 with my family. I rpd for 5 characters multiple times a week and never missed a deadline. I had a job, played highschool football, and in Chicago I had to catch 3 public buses, or a bus and a train, depending on the direction I took, to get to and from school every day. So personally, I feel these excuses are really half ass. I really don't like excuses for not rping when you promise to, but this $hit is really getting ridiculous. People bitch and moan about story lines, or ideas, and then they no show. They promise to be active and spam up the board; then they no show. The get booked, have me and hardcastle up all f**k**g night trying to come up with a good storyline/feud; then they no show and f**k it all up. This makes me want to throw in the damn towel and say f**k it. I have a 4 year college degree, work 50+ hours a week, have a girlfriend, visit my folks at their house twice a week to help in the yard, plus countless other $hit on an everyday basis, and I still seem to find the time to put out at least one rp a week because this is an enjoyable hobby. How? Why? Why am I showing up teenagers? Why is Jay/Hardcastle showing up teenagers? Why is Saint showing up teenagers? Why is Creeper showing up teenagers? It makes no f**k**g sense. People say they're out of rp ideas...fuck that! Why do you need an idea to put out an rp? Just say what the hell you need to say and leave it at that! Maybe it comes easier for some people, but we're trying to make this thing work, and right now only a few people are trying. I know things come up, but J.C.! Help us out! PLEASE! Ok, that's it. I'm done venting.  |

It's annoying when people quit Bailey but not everyone is you, if they feel they don't have the time to do all the want to do and so ditch efedding then thats fine. It's a hobbey, it's their choice to be part of it so if they want to quit then there is no sense in getting annoyed about it. As for no shows, I don't believe in no showing without at least telling the person your facing why so I agree for most of that.
Anyway, see ya Paine, kind of a shame since you had talent but if your not enjoying it then it's as simple as that.

It is a hobby and his choice and atleast he said he would come back eventually, I mean you never know what is going on in the household or whatnot, so I forgive you chadclassic, lol AKA: rodney Paine, but I am glad you chose to stay to be active on the boards and not just leave. Plus bailey atleast he told us this time that he was leaving so we didnt have a bunch of no shows from him. Best the luck to you Paine, cant wait for your comeback. Immune |

Like I said, it wasn't anything directed towards anybody in particular; it was just me venting about the whole situation. Plus I had a little "liquid courage" in my system that allowed me to vent like that. The most annoying thing about it is when you have people who promise to commit and then leave. Regardless if they gave 2 weeks notice or just disappeared, it has the same rammifications. 1 person leaving suddenly affects the whole board. It messes up angles and storylines that we try to flesh out. Those storylines, in effect, can attract new talent; which sets up more whatever. When Kyzer left, it screwed up a storyline/feud that could have carried for 2 or three months, and he wasn't even a full fledged Valor "wrestler" yet. All I'm asking for is dedication and true-blue committment. (damn I sound like my girlfriend  ) Here it is Saturday, Slam is tomorrow, and out of the 4 guys who promised to rp for their matches, 1 has come through; 25% is obviously not a winning percentage. I'm afraid to even have the PPV now because of that result. |

The biggest problem I have Paine doing this.....is he begged to return. He promised to rp. It may be a hobby, but people are depending on you. At least finish out your commitments/bookings. And don't waste my time. Its crap and I have not heard a decent excuse. A death would be a decent excuse. Something along those lines. I think its crap.

Like I said it sucks but there is no need to get worked up over it. It's better to have the people are are not really into it leave then stick around forcing themselves to do something they don't want to and therefore not give full effort in their RP's. End of the day it's e-fedding, it's a hobbey for fun so when life gets hectic it's the first thing to go. Plus alot of people like to take time away from it when they've done it for a while which I believe Paine has, not here or in WFWF but its obvious from his work he knows what he's doing.
I understand as an owner it is a pain when plans change but it takes like 5 minutes to think up a angle and get the first few steps in place for it so it's not too big a issue. it just kinda sucks that someones leaving post is now getting covered in posts that aren't saying 'bye'.

Why should people say bye to someone who is sticking around? He said he still plans to post and read the board. Plus, Hardcastle did say that ChadClassic asked to come back and is leaving again. I can understand where their extra frustration is coming from.

Hmmmm.........awesome. Tell me Flaps, what do you suggest? Cuz the Valor team is at a loss. Between Immune, Bailey and myself, we have racked our brains for hours over what to do with Immune's PPV match? The clock is running my friend. I'm a fair guy. If you can think of a great angle in 5 minutes....God Bless!! My head hurts. |

I gave you a number of ways to get around the problems, it's not ideal that people leave so close to PPV RP time but like I showed you AIM you can get around it and make things work all you need to do is talk to a few people, adjust future plans slightly and put a little trust in some of the RP'ers. Like I said, it can be done and getting ideas to do it doesn't take long, maybe talk to ZM, Immune and Bailey about it and find a way to solve the PPV card problems.

I'm sorry to see you go, Chad. On the other hand, I feel a little more sorry for the fed itself. If what is being said is true, at least finishing out the matches you were booked on would have been a better way to part ways. To each their own.
