Concerning Breakdown

I don't take 24 hours to write a roleplay, but I do like to write my roleplay in one sitting. I hate stopping and coming back to it because I lose the flow that I have (maybe it's just me) so for me and possibly several others who do that, having the show up and a possible extended deadline could help.

Not only that, a lot of us have lives outside of SCW. My life is why I had to step away from SCW for a while and I'm still not back ready to roleplay yet. You never know really. Some people might be away from their computers all day tomorrow and not get the opportunity to make said 10-15 minute change with the show going up tomorrow and the deadline at midnight tomorrow night.

Extending the deadline gives all roleplayers a fair chance to have sufficient time to read the show and then use it in their roleplays.

I'm just finishing segments now, but let's just dispel a few myths because it seems that NO ONE reads what I've stated about roleplays before.

1) I judge roleplays based on the circumstances to which they are written. So conceivably, someone can write three roleplays before the final Breakdown before a pay per view. It doesn't make these roleplays worse or less effective. It just means I won't be looking for content from the final Breakdown to be referred to (or let the lack of it or inconsistency to have a negative effect). If Breakdown is late, I only determine any impact of what happened on Breakdown in the roleplays posted AFTER that show.

2) Most people only roleplay once anyways, so let's stop talking about second and third roleplays. Given that few make it to that point, it's a bad argument to make. When that becomes the norm, then I'll accept those points.

3) I also understand people have a life. For example, this week, my life kicked me in the nads and well, this is why Breakdown is late. It happens. But I also understand that some people NEED to have Breakdown for some reason. Yes, it may affect those that roleplayed earlier, however, please note this: Your quality of work should not be affected by whether Breakdown is referenced. Yes, you may have a better idea or a couple more ideas, but the work itself can still be just as good as anyone elses work after the fact.

EDIT!
4) Most people don't read the damn shows anyways. Trust me. I know. It's really sad sometimes when people ROYALLY show how poorly they read shows. Pressing CTRL+F and finding your name tends to lead to most people to make mistakes. Regardless of me adding this to my post, most people will still do the same and merely find their match and winner and that's that. Segments...who the hell knows if they are even read.

Regardless, even though I thoroughly enjoy the fact that people are just reusing the same arguments over and over again and leading to a vicious circle that is causing me to laugh, I probably will slightly alter the roleplay deadline. It will most likely be until noon on Sunday. This is to ensure that if people want to make changes, they can. I find it also negates most sandbagging because many aren't available then (for example, myself. I will most likely be sleeping at that point because that's what I do on the weekends).

Totally unrelated, but since BreakDown is up and I RPed for RtG, I can spam here. Anyways, I love the fact that some one is finally using The Miz as a pic base.

Oh, and Jeremy...

Sorry about not role playing. I just couldn't get into it. Like you said the week before, would have been a pointless match.

A dark match with no fuel behind it. Come on now, a match between us should be in detail and mean something. :CTface:
