Hello Everyone. A question to the masses....

Bubba James McCoy writes:

Once apon a time there was a fed floating around called Global. before that it was GW and before that GWF

Not so long ago the place closed down as my life out side this world of E feding was in a spril motion of no return.

Alot and i mean alot of things went down.

I miss this game alot. alot of things have been taken care of in my life.. and things are pretty steady right now.

So ive been tossing ideas around in my head.


One idea was to start a new fed. Or should i re open the old one..


Or would it be plausable to open a new fed under the old name i ran with for years

What i miss alot i think is Workign the website, Working the Posers, Makeing it all blend togther.

I miss workign with people to crate angles and intresting storys for the whole fed. and i miss seeing the reation of when i could shock and suprise the roster.

But i am not sure if there is rpers alentley like when i first started that old fed years ago.


So i recon my question is a sort of a multt choice one

A Should i Create a Brand new Company and start from ground zero.

B Should i reopen the old Company / Or New company with the same look and name as the old one[ Sort of a hit the restart button]

C should i just find a fpartner that would let me kinda work the site and posers

D Return but as a rper in a fed?

E Just keep my thoughts in my head and continue to play world of warcraft?


My response:

This sounds like one of my infamous surveys. Speaking from experience, these are questions you can only answer for yourself. If you don't know the answers to what YOU should do, don't bother asking them in public. You might get some replies you're not expecting. They'll be mean/nasty replies that'll just make you want to jump off a bridge if you take them to heart.

In summary: Ask YOURSELF those questions, as you are the only one who has the answers to them.

This is honestly the best advice I can give to save you the torment of trying to figure out what your next step in e-wrestling should be. Take things one step at a time. Rediscover what you find enjoyable in the many facets of this hobby. Get your legs back underneath you first, then decide where to go from there.

When I say get your legs underneath you, start small. Write a roleplay just for yourself. Then maybe come up with a second character and then a match between those two characters. Hell, write a whole show just to see if you can do it. Do some poser work just for some shits and giggles. There's no need to show it off.... yet. Just put it in your Photo Album here on PTC. (Cheap pop thumbs up to Argyle) If you're proud of your new portfolio then show it off.

If you want to join an e-fed, join one. If you want to be a fed head, develop one piece by piece. Try not to do both right off the bat. You really should make a choice between the two. Both take time and energy, A LOT of it. Real life can be a bitch sometimes.

If you're going the fed head route, play around with some site design, coding, form creation, etc. Notice I keep saying play around. This is so you can decide if that's what you want to do before you get other people involved. If you're on the fence what your goal should be long term, you'll be wasting people's time short term.

McCoy your post makes it too obvious that your indecisive. Leaders in this hobby can't be like that or they won't be leaders for long. Fed heads are leaders. They can't keep asking their roster, "What should I do next?" Hey you over there, "Do I look fat in these jeans?" If people wanted that sort of aggrevation they'd be married. Hold on a sec, I need to close my closet door and readjust my night light to finish typing this.

Just do your thing man. Handle your business. "Man up or shut up" as I've heard it said.

I've been in your situation before and wanted to relate a few things to you. I hope what I wrote helped.

Once you do set a goal, kick ass and take names. "You can do it Bobby Boucher!" (Waterboy reference)

Good luck to you.

This was taken from Primetime Central. I just thought I'd share it with the rest of the class.

Have a nice day!
