Every now and again I log on to see people reacting to recently posted role-plays in the shoutbox. It's good to see that, but with so many new guys joining us I think it might be a good idea to collect them somewhere a little harder to miss. If a fed Head wants to lay down some ground rules for their guys go ahead. I'm going to keep my comments trivial. They shouldn't be taken as endorsement for or against anyone they're just snippets that I'm thankful other people have taken the time to think up because they amused or interested me for whatever reason. Off the top of my head from the last week... - As someone not from a tipping nation, I don't know whether this is background detail or some kind of commentary on his character. Is it high or low? Is it saying he's generous or tight? Is it saying he really likes burritos? How much are burritos? What exactly are burritos? Maybe he likes the waitress? Should he have tipped more because he was cutting a promo while ordering? I am over-thinking this. - Hurr hurr. - Like the idea of Mongo sitting in his office with wrestling promos being shown 24/7. Also, how very XHF of him to conduct his business inside a greenhouse. - A face you'd love to starve. - Wonderfully observed. - The as-then unannounced Lil' Freeze may have been a gimmick set up by management to ride the wave of Vanilla Ice's inexplicable popularity in the area.

I like the idea of this thread and to help place my opinions:
- Tipping is based off a percent in America. A burrito in an American sit-down restaurant is generally around $8-10, probably on the lower-end (giggity) if you're from a small town where there's a lot of money to be made. On that scale, $2.50 is really good. However if he got onion rings and lemonade, the bill could be like $20. If that's the case, the tip is actually quite low.
- I kind of got that feeling from Mongo's RP as well, although it can be said he watches RPs in general clumps of time. Kind of like how we never watch a show but binge-watch an entire season in a day.
- So I actually chosen Jaden Smith because I wanted a really hated actor, kind of like how Copycat is hated. My first thought was Beiber but I think that was Punker's latest appearance and I didn't want to cause concern.

I'm gonna be honest Ish, I'm totally confused with what this is even about haha. Are you saying we should make it more clear that we have a set of announcers prepared to commentate on any given promo that any wrestler cuts and wants to include in on? Like I'm totally on board with that but maybe I'm just reading things wrong and got confused. But if this is a suggestion for that thing I thought you thought to say then I'm on board Also I need to quit drinking.

Lol, it's a "response" thread for rps that we've been reading. That way when we want to talk about the rps the people who wrote them can read them instead of the shoutbox eating our comments and having them disappear forever.
I'm wondering if we might want to make this a sub-board some where; it's a cool idea. I feel like if we make a "feedback' section, people will use it for critiquing as opposed to just commenting. But this is really neato.

Yeah wanted to avoid critiquing or everyone saying 'great rp!' to someone which'd suck if you came into the thread as the person the rp was against.
Was slightly alarmed at the possibility that for example Assinator could come in, rp and only have his (indirect) loss as acknowledgement that he did anything without knowing he had fans.

Considering how often we chant his name, I'm sure Rump knows our love for him and his magnificent rear, lol

It's a faith thing man; I already got my king. I can appreciate Assinator without bowing- besides, YOU NEVER BOW EITHER!

Venta! I like that you're taking your career by the horns in your newest rp! Hopefully the GXW admins make it official for the next show so we can get some more of your sweet sweet rping. I've been enjoying your character quite a bit.
Steele! The sultry opening turned into something totally wholesome is right up my ally! I like when a character walks the line but doesn't quite go over it and your rp did that just right in your newest one.
Two really nice rps coming up early after the show; what a great day to show up on the board, lol

This may come across as a knock with raw being what it currently is but Steele's rps are like good tv vignettes. Like, 'you have two minutes to get yourself over, explain your gimmick, get some buys for your match and keep it entertaining so no one changes the channel.' To read, Nothin' but a fluffer was like Exxxstacy - easy, super-tight and a lot of fun.
To the showrunners - to match his catchphrase perhaps make sure that Steele always has the first entrance to his matches regardless of tradition. Er, except if there's some kind of royal rumble. I was going to suggest that the Eater of Worlds against the Eater of Girls line be made the official hype line but I also like the one that's already up.
Props to Kira for cutting an anti-America promo from somewhere outside of America for once. This kid walks the walk!

Say Kira, what accent are you going for in your rps? I'm trying to find the right voice in my head.
Same goes for you Ish, Slain sounds like he's been very Americanized over the years

Thanks for the support I don't see it as a knock, I was aiming for the old-school vignette/skit sorta feel. I'll broaden my horizons in the future but the first handful of RPs will be in a similar vein (giggle)
Also like the idea of coming out first for matches and hey why not in a rumble too? At his own insistence, because he's good enough to come first from ANY position

I hate you Ish, and I mean that in the best possible way regarding your most recent RP
