Given that I`m really making sure I give every feud a proper end point leading into Rise to Greatness, I`m really finding myself second-guessing things I`ve been writing. I`m going to finish a bit more, but then take some time to make sure I`m happy with things. So, with that said, the show will be up roughly by supper time tomorrow evening. Given that some may want to use the show for their roleplays, I`m going to extend the rp deadline until midnight Saturday night. Also, just letting everyone know now, Rise to Greatness will NOT be up on Sunday night. This show I`m not giving myself a deadline on. I`m going to write it until it is done. I`ve done that every year and I promise it will be worth the wait. I`ll then alter the show schedule as needed afterwards. Thank you for your patience in the last month in the lead up to Rise to Greatness as well as Rise to Greatness itself. I hope you`ve all enjoyed the majority of the shows and you enjoy the show itself when its posted. |

Sorry about this delay. This is actually now that I completely forgot about a key angle (so key that it would've made this show largely not make sense going from last week's show). So I'm finding myself trying to fit it in without having to do a whole large amount of retooling. I'll make the appropriate deadline changes when I figure it all out. |

The deadline is fine where it is... If people can't adhere to Saturday at 11:59pm, that's just sad! I personally think it should be left alone... |

As of right now, the deadline is still Saturday night, and if people are planning on doing two, then I'd advise getting yoru first up before midnight tonight because the 24 hour rule will apply (I think). Olek will give the offical word on this matter, by as of now... it's 26 hours away... so get rping

There are those that are waiting for the show to use for their RPs, and I know I'm not about to pull something out of my ass in 24 hours, especially when I have to work tomorrow, the deadline should be extended at least 12 extra hours, you force people to reach a deadline in 24 hours then it's just not gonna happen, especailly when the show hasn't been posted yet and people are planning on using what happens in the show for the majority of their RPs |

You could have done more then one rp, this is a big PPV, you are allowed up to 3 rps. Your second or third rp could go off of the last show. Others have rped b4 the last Breakdown results and some are planning on doing a second or thrid. THere is plenty of storyline to work with to do a first rp. Olek made sure of that. SO why not start writing and see where you get. The great Oz should be around soon to put you all at ease. |

Because most people use what they've already got off shows in their first RP. |

Then you are welcomed to wait for the offical ruling by Olek, but be forewarmed, you may only get 24 hours if he keeps the deadline as it is. You have read what I have suggested, so now the ball is in your court. I'd suggest you use your remaining time wisely. |

I got to side with Chris on this one...in a way. While a lot of character development can be done for a roleplay without using the shows, Olek himself has said to use what is on the shows as roleplay fodder. Not having enough time to do that with Breakdown being posted later than usual doesn't help the people that may not have the free time to see it and get a decent roleplay done by then. This of course depends on how much your particular angle is featured on a show which a lot of people don't know until the show itself is posted. |

I just think when you have as much time to do three RPs, and you can't shell one out before midnight tomorrow, and you're blaming it on Olek, it's your fault. It shouldn't be a concern with the card determining whether or not you'll have enough time to finish. You should be able to do it with or without the card. You should be able to fill in the fodder in minimal time. |

Depends on how good you wanna make your RP, if you wanna take time and think about what you're writing, then it's gonna take time, if you just wanna type shit out and hope for the best then go for it and it'll take you a couple hours max |

I can definitely see where everyone is coming from, Jake's got his point of view because he roleplayed early and doesn't feel like it's fair for people to get extra time given to them. However using Breakdown is pretty important for most people in their RPs, especially for their promos Me? It's my fault for procrastinating so I'm not going to complain either way. I'm just wondering where the Wizard of Oley could be so that we could get that gavel banged down for an official ruling. |

Then why should anyone bother RPing BEFORE tomorrow right at the deadline? Why should anyone bother doing anything before the final moment to make sure everything is just as perfect as you'd like? It's not Olek's responsibility for your RP, it's yours. People should TAKE IT rather than try and find reasons to prolong it. |

Because people dont' wanna drag out their RPs, plain and simple, they take what's already happened and put it in one RP, then they take what will happen on the final show, and mix it in with their opponent's RP and use that for their second RP, or third depending on how many they've already done. |

Believe me, I don't need Breakdown to get me material for my RPs, I just am a procrastinator. Olek is the LAST person who's fault it is on that front. I just was curious, which was why I posted in the first place. |

Like I said, it's not Olek's responsibility to basically write your RP. You should be able to take the little fodder you may have, use it through the week, and be able to finish up Saturday with one final one after Breakdown is posted. You shouldn't be so reliant on Olek... It's YOUR character not his. And to Exeter... Yeah I don't think it is quite fair, you're right. Good reply from you FYI... |

i never said it was Olek's responsibility, I have no idea where you get that, basically, what i'm saying is, take what you already have... use it for an entire RP, Character Development and all, for your second RP, take the fodder you get from the last Breakdown before the PPV, or two depending on what you used in the first one, alongside your opponent's roleplay for that match and use it along with more Character Development for your other RP, and honestly, if you think about it, Olek has just as much control over our characters as we do, we tell him what we want to do, but in reality, he makes the final decisions, plain and simple, enough said. Thank you

Yeah, it's our character, Jake, but the thing is, "our" character is being used on "his" shows and if we do something that isn't consistent with what is on the shows, then we usually shoot ourselves in the foot because the shows are there so we can use them in our roleplays. That's the whole point of the shows (or at least one of the major ones): to have something for us to use in future roleplays. |

By the time all of you sat here and replied to this thread you could have wrote a page or two of your rp. Hey, I'm just sayin'... I also agree with Wes. ![]() Oh and I only replied to this thread to add some COLOR. That. Is. All. |

Well would your RP be so totally off? Or could it not be written to a point where it could be slightly altered? I've had to do that a couple of times, and it takes MAYBE 10 or 15 minutes. It's not something that should completely dictate everything about your RP. And I totally don't understand how people take more than 24 hours for one RP. That is COMPLETELY insane... |
