In order to prevent No-Show issues like we had in the past and expedite the match writing process, entrances will no longer be required for matches. The way this will work is that when the card goes up, I will post individual threads for each match in the matches area. The thread begins with the assumption that all stars for the match are already present in the ring. So, if your opponent posts and you don't show, well, that's now a loss. In terms of what happened in character, your guy showed up and got beat. It doesn't make sense to have half our matches end with someone shrugging their shoulders and the crowd asking what the fuck is going on. And if both men no-show, well, then I decide how it ends.
Now, what's to keep the same guy from just getting his head pounded in week after week because he's on the active roster and stopped showing up? Well, simple. If you no-show a match, you're contract is going into the 'Limited Contracts' until you ask staff to change it back to active roster and you won't be booked again until that happens or you specifically request to be on a card.
And now, for anyone upset about the entrances no longer being part of the match, allow me to address that. IF you want to write and entrance for your match, you are more than welcome to. If you do, post it to the thread, even if the action has already begun, and I will put the entrance into my post that opens the match. Being this may cause some confusion about which star came out or comes out first, the following guideline is in effect to resolve that: entrances occur in the order of billing. So, if the card says 'Fuckberry vs. Screwjob vs. The Ontario Chicken Strangler', then no matter when the RPer writes their entrance or whether they do, the canon is that Fuckberry enters, then Screwjob, and lastly the Ontario Chicken Strangler.
