You dont have to be afraid anymore..

[KingBear]

Well, this is our card for week 3 Decimation. The results are up and I'd like to thank everyone who posted. One side note, personal preference really, I'd like to see more smaller posts than one big post each..

Strong Foot Forward
Kelvin Gracie vs Kade Samuels vs Erik Ornstein
Submissions
Winner: Kade Samuels

Explanation: Kevin Gracie was unfortunately a no show... So not much to say on that front. Erik only posted an entrance, an entrance in which the humor and creativity of his opponent's previous post was lost. Kade once again showed us a lovable goof that is very relatable. Samuels provided excellent commentary in his posts, played off his rival's lack of experience and was most amusing to read.

Match 2
Open Bar Brawl
This will be another tradition I hope to start in EVPW. A bi weekly bar brawl. This is open to all comers and the brawl is filmed 2 days before EVPW airs so any wrestler can join without fear of being tired on Tuesday night.
Winner:

Explanation: Maybe we should stop doing this..

Match 3
Chris Pyro vs SM Raye
First Blood
Winner: SM Raye via DQ

Explanation: This match was predetermined but it is judged as well as a win by SM Raye. If we judged on entrances alone, SM Raye would have won simply because of the two entrances. However, due, also, to the fact that Pyro didnt do an action post, we can only judge by the entrances.

Match 4
Wolverina vs Envy
Singles
Winner: Envy

Explanation: This match was predetermined for Envy to win, but in judging the match, Envy would have taken the win anyways. Her use of the characters little nuances as well as catching hold of the ability to play different aspects of the characters put her over the top.

Match 5
The Psycho Kid w/Red Winters vs Scar
Singles
Winner: Scar

Explanation: This match was tough for me to judge. But in this industry activity does count for a bit. If TPK had posted once more, the creativity and the entertainment in his one post was almost enough to give him the win. But Scar met that entertainment with some entertainment of his own as well as some pretty descriptive moves. I would really enjoy reading a matchup like this again in the future. TPK vs Scar was an excellent read, I just hope the next time they face, both opponents have time to post.

Main Event
Big Jim w/Cletus vs Jerry Nate
Hardcore
Winner: Jerry Nate

Explanation: This was a good read, I am impressed by both members of this match. Big Jim has a bit to learn about how to use JP and Ray but the action was splendid. Jerry barely takes the win in this match because of his humor involved, though excessive, as well as his use of the commentary team. Though being Big Jim is new to EVPW, we didnt count this against him that much. Big Jim, your writing is very entertaining and I look forward to watching you progress even further in this fed.

NICE MATCHES PEOPLE! I AM PROUD OF ALL OF YOU THAT CONTRIBUTED THIS WEEK!

I read all of the matches but I like to spread the love. Just know that I do agree with the other judgements in full. Most of you know me and know me to be a fair judge so please respect these findings.. If you need help with your writing or want pointers and the explanation isnt enough. Feel free to shoot me or any of the people judging the matches a PM and ask a few questions or ask for a few pointers.

As I said above.. I'd like to see fewer super long posts that drain our posters and more short and to the point posts. A match is a much better read when there's good back and forth between the opponents. Also, it's easier on us if we dont have to try and find ways to create filler to make a post stand out and go on longer. This will never be a requirement in EVPW, just a personal observation and preference. If ya'll want to post super long posts and post once in your match. That's fine.. But I'd enjoy reading your match progress through multiple posts so you dont wear yourselves out.

Furthermore, if anyone is interested in posting how their match ended.. Feel free to post an in ring post and link to the thread. Thanks again!

End of Wolfie vs. Envy

[Rurouni]

Lol I remember the days of 10k plus posts for matches...think vlad holds the record with like 45k or some shit...I could be wrong but damn those were hard to read.

[Wolverina]

Beth is unbeatable when she is focused and serious and can put all effort in her posts, regardless if she's using Bella or Envy. I put her on Vlad's level, if not slightly better. Great job Beth and everyone.

Sidenote: If the Envy/Wolfie match would have had the same posts but were under normal rules and not pre=determined Envy would have lost due to power posting.

PS - Rice-a-ronie (hehe) I agree. I prefer longer posts due to the way I write. I don't have the same ability to condense posts down like a lot of other people do. Short and to the point posts tend to be missing certain things that would make them better if given a little more length, and a lot of times it seems like I am only reading a watered down version or play-by-play description rather than a nicely written up piece. Just my take on things. I'll try to work harder on shortening posts down.

Whoever wrote a 45K once has no life. Good Lord. =D

['The Franchise' SM Raye]

Haven not saying your post wasn't great to read... Just you did play up the 'monster' aspect too much... Next time have Haven get a little more of a speed advantage... As well.. You know I love Wolverina she just needs to not always be completely under ultilized just stating my opinion though I agree Beth work on that for next time around.

[Rurouni]

Wolv dear when I played as Hawkeye some matches I had over 30k characters went back and looked at some of my older posts on GHW....crazy sick gets when you pop a 30K post then your opponent pops 32k then you try to pop 35k lol matches start to turn Into novels and you get burned out quick.

[KingBear]

That's the exact problem with posting huge posts like that.. When you post in an entire match going back and forth just increasing your character count until the end of the match, you wont WANT to RP for a long time.. I want to help prevent people from burning themselves out. I want to see more posts in a match than one each.. Otherwise I cant watch an RPer evolve in their skill and their perception of the match as it goes on.

I've also been one to post 30k+ posts.. I think the highest I've seen was Rhaps vs Vlad when they did over 50k per post.. I CAN do that.. But I dont want to.. I dont see a reason for it. Heck, I was recently RPing outside of wrestling and I posted a 20k post for introducing my character to the scene, but that was fun to write and I thoroughly enjoyed the character I was introducing.

But! That's just me.. I am an Old School RPer.. I've been doing this for a long time and I'm working on writing a book.. Also, if you dont want to post less than 10k, that's fine.. That's your choice..

Just remember, if you get bored of writing your post, the person reading it will get bored of reading it..

[Rurouni]

Lol we both have been at this a long time haven't we

[KingBear]

Way too long sometimes bro I remember when you and I were posting epic long posts in ASWF.. People had never seen posts that long.. I mean.. We broke as high as what.... 2k? That was INSANE back then

And dont think I forgot, you were the one to get me involved in Efedding

[Envy]

Fyi- Raye, I was told to power post

[Rurouni]

Lol yea ASWF yea 2k there was like are you for real...you know haven't spoken with anyone from there since we turned it into SCW and then ran rough shot in bringing GHW to the promise land...now it could be time for the magic to work one more time. And I never made you do anything you did not want too lol

[Wolverina]

Raye - Envy was supposed to be the monster in the match. She was supposed to power post. It was pre detemrined that way. In a actual non pre-determined match I would have went about it a lot differently and Envy would have also. I was only pointing out that if she and I posted the same posts as we did, except in a non pre-determined match, she would have lost due to power posting. Of course she would have never done that power posting otherwise, so in that aspect yeah she would win because she's freaking epic and unbeatable no matter what.

I don't get bored of writing long posts, but if the reader doesn't like reading long ones then he or she needs to respectively pass the duty off to someone who can. Easy fix. I will definitely try to shorten them up and work on that though. We'll see how it goes.

[Rurouni]

Lol...now I remember why I luved you so much...it was that spitfire attitude
