Judging Suggestion

I'm proposing that every Tuesday, I post polls for the various matches. Everyone is required to vote for who they think should win. (If you don't vote, you lose your right to complain :P)

The results will be used, unless the people involved in the matches plan a result otherwise and all parties agree.

I am hoping this increases some of the interaction around here, and makes things a little more interesting.

I'm suggesting it in here. Now let's get some responses!

Alrighty. Due to the unanimous no response, I am guessing this idea left you all speechless. Starting on this show, everyone is required to vote on results for matches. You can vote on your own matches. If everyone can vote for themselves, it's fair.

I concur!

My only suggestion is that if you are going to do this, that the people judging the results take storylines into serious consideration. The last few times I was involved in a group vote scenario, I came out on the short end of the stick. One of them was the Pelvic Thrust Man Incident, which I am not going into since I have mentioned it numerous times in the past. The other incident was when I had just came out of the feud with Kacy Knight back when we first feuded and she was a heel. We had just conclusively ended the feud with our Incarceration match at a PPV, then the next week, we were booked against each other again (randomly, I think) in a Triple Threat match that included The X-Byte. The ending of the match had Kacy hit me with the Lights Out, followed by her getting thrown out of the ring by X-Byte and him stealing a cheap pin to win the match. Now, I have no complaints for either of those guys. I highly respect X-Byte and I love the shit out of Kacy (Fiona) and if I didn't win, it was obviously because people thought I was out RPed, which I have no problem with. The problem is how somebody in that group (or maybe all of them) was too lazy to book the ending properly, considering what had just transpired at the PPV the weekend before.

The X-Byte triple threat match I don't recall at all.... but anyway, if the majority of people vote one way over another, we can only hope the majority of people voted fairly.

If your going to do this may I suggest a more secret approach. That way it still gives people some bit of surprise when it comes to reading results. Instead of open threads, Have people Pm who they think should win, Maybe even develop some sort of gradding system that acturally forces people to acturally read the rps.

That would work, providing everyone trusts everyone.

I don't doubt that people will be fair. That's not the problem. The problem comes with people paying attention to the story lines of others and keeping up to date on them. Also, judges doing some informed booking wouldn't hurt either. If the match involves two people that aren't in a feud against each other, but are involved with others, then regardless of who wins, the outcome of the match should promote or advance the story lines that are going on outside the match. For example, if Officer is in a match with Steve Mathias AND Officer is feuding with Danny Szatkowski at the time AND Officer is voted to lose, then the way Officer loses should do something to help further the feud with Danny. SSM has a pretty good handle on this, but I'm concerned about others.

PS: SSM, if you don't remember the match with me, Kacy, and X-Byte, don't worry. You were on vacation when it happened and it was that forgettable. Sorry to whomever wrote it, but it was written very plainly.

I tried finding it, but couldn't. Perhaps we ignored this show and removed it from history? Wouldn't put much past me when it comes to changing history...

That is an issue no matter what way you do it

I'm a little confused, because Cerberus is being voted the winner through the poll, but I never actually remembered to post a Cerberus RP, Athoss has a couple of lines in a RP, but it's still more than Cerberus, seems a little odd, obviously, I don't expect Cerberus to win.

I guess this is a handy little experiment this week, to not go forward with this process...

That's the only match I didn't vote for...
