Hey guys,

Long story short, my eye surgery was rescheduled to today and in the morning rather than the mid-afternoon. I spent most of the last few nights trying to get everything done to accomodate but I couldn't.

In short, I'm alright, but my eyes have taken a rather bad hit with the drops and the surgery - being more affected than what was originally thought by myself or the doctor. I can barely see and things like computer screens are next to impossible. The doctor said in 24 hours, I'll be alright to see screens and whatever.

I am appealing to the handlers and to Oleska to allow a 24 hour extension. I don't care about winning or anything like that - I just don't want to no show this big match, especially with Selena. I have tried to keep working on the rp before writing this, but it's impossible. I have had a friend read back what I type in case of typos but he can't help me all day while I struggle through typing.

I am sorry for such a request - I did not anticipate the change in time or the effect my eyes would be altered.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hayden

Sorry

I don't mind it, because I am blind as a bat in one eye and I know eye surgery sucks. But as Kris said, it is up to Olek in the end. I wish you a speedy recovery either way.

Not in the match (or on the card) so it doesn't effect me, but as admin/mod I figure I'll at least point this out as Olek doesn't seem to be around. This is quoted directly from his post on the announcement boards regarding extensions:

Quote:
 
I'm going to make this simple. I will no longer be entertaining match extensions for any reason whatsoever. Even emergencies. If it's emergencies, you can let me know and I, at least, may consider changing the match on the show, when I write it. But given that at least 90% of the extensions are simply because many are unable to time manage and clearly are taking advantage of my sympathy to that reason, I am no longer going to offer extensions. At most, I will extend deadlines for a whole card if a show is up later to provide sufficient time to roleplay. But given that some people are struggling to make the SCW Rise to Greatness deadline when the overwhelming majority of matches were announced, or at least hinted to, weeks ago, it's clear that this is a crutch for many, whether this is their first time using it or otherwise.


That said, I feel your pain man. If I'd have been booked today, I'd have had a hard time getting my rp finished as I spent several hours in the hospital with my gf after she fell down the stairs today and had to be taken in by ambulance as she couldn't get up. It sucks that real life happens at times but knowing pre-deadline will at least allow Olek to ensure your characters come out of the match looking strong. Go heal up dude, hope things clear up (not pun intended) a.s.a.p!

My rp is done, just have to proof read it and add a few things, I don't need the extension but for you Hayden I'll definitely be okay with it if Olek grants it bro.

Or Olek could take your character out of the match if you play an IC reason why the character can't wrestle like he did with Konrad recently since something like that is more important than RPing as Olek and everyone told me recently. So sad another fedder in this game could be blinded as a good friend of mine in another SCW also RP's with one eye so I understand what you are going through.

I hope for the best and that you will get well soon.

Given the number of people involved and also the fact that a deadline extension of that sort would ensure the show would not be up until at least Sunday night, I cannot agree to it. I will try and do what I can to protect Selena in the match given the situation.

I hope your surgery goes well.

First off, thank you so much for the support and well wishes here and on Twitter/PM, as well as the consideration and understanding by Oleska D. and the handlers of SCW. You guys are great and continue to remind me why I love this game so much. Amazing community, wonderful ideas and an openness that encourages us to be upfront and speak our minds or open discussions.

Second, an apology. I did not mean for my request to cause any issues or problems for anyone - if that has occurred I again apologize. Truly, guys, I panicked. I couldn't see, as you guys know, and I, like many of us, hate the idea of no-showing (especially big matches). A few good friends and SCW handlers stepped up and calmed me down and gave me a number of ideas on how to at least focus and get Selena's roleplay finished (as it was the furthest along and she is my primary character). I apologize also for Shilo no-showing. Please do not let this event be a reflection on my commitment to his character.

Lastly, an update. I'm doing alot better now. The medication they suggested worked really well and my eyes are now healing fast and feeling 100x times better. Eyesight - same thing. I won't be needing glasses again for a rather long time (hopefully :P).

Thank you guys for being patient and considerate at this time. I promise, I have no plans to go into surgery in the near future ;)
