Well what did you all think? For reference, the word count for the show was 22,833 based on my phone and I cut out a match and a segment originally planned!
So let me know your thoughts, suggestions, and critiques the show. There was a ton of stories being progressed and really taking shape, and we are now officially half way through season one!
So let me know what you all liked, what you didn't like, give me some suggestions for improvements, and let me know what your favorite parts of the show was.
Thought it was absolutely fantastic yet again! Always love the sign pic you do at the beginning of shows.
I think the only thing that would have helped is out of your control; everyone showing up to RP.
I love the story line progression for all of the angles that been been building for months and really feel like UB is cementing itself in the fed world as one of the top tier feds, quality wise and thats all thanks to you!

I can't take all the credit, it's mostly you guys collaborating and really directing your own storylines. I think that's what's great about this place, is letting you guys have creative control, which I think makes it fun.
With the RPing I know real life is top priority, and I'm probably the most guilty of punctuality. With L!GHTS OUT moving to Friday and still keeping the Tuesday deadline, that'll give me a couple days to get everything together and should be on time.
Yes I agree, which is why it was a good look that DD, Trixie and Tweeder still either put out an effort or apologized, which is class act stuff.
I just think it would have been awesome for every match to have been rp'ed for...that would have been 22 RP's for one card which is crazy considering it's a one RP limit, I also really love the consistent crossover fed matches for our PPVs, we get some really good rp'ers from those guys/gals!

So just for me, who got the deadline confused for the PPV, to be crystal clear to myelf, Deadlines are always Tuesday for Lights out still right?
I already apologized but I will say it again, I feel super awful on myself for not giving our story Justice. Anton more so and even more so Axel for not giving the feud that last part on me. I still submitted so I put the rp count up technically Nemesis.
And apart from that I definitely would like to know the reasoning behind Anton giving the title back
I thought the show otherwise was quite surprising with the results. I got every single match prediction wrong (as usual with me lol) so it's nice to be surprised and I hope to see this Network thing thrive. I didn't know of a few feds in it aside UK...the other letters...fed lol
My only critique I can give.....And it's pure bait for a reply from someone to see if he sees this....Dick Devereaux needs his pork pie hat lol. Otherwise nothing other than can you put the deadlines in BIG BRIGHT RED Letters so I can see them as clear as day so I don't get myself confused OR like a mass PM to me like auotmatic as soon as the card goes out to tell me deadline is saturday not tuesday for ppv

That's not a bad idea to maybe do a massive PM/ Twitter DM. I try to give a bunch of notcies on deadlines like the site, the boards, Twitter, shout box. But I honestly don't remember if I did all of that, I am guilty of being busy this past weekend.
Yeah i know Trixie, which is why I said; "Yes I agree, which is why it was a good look that DD, Trixie and Tweeder still either put out an effort or apologized, which is class act stuff."

Thought the PPV was fantastic, just like all the other shows. The only critiques I have are ones that have been mentioned already and are mostly non-issues for me personally anyway so I won't bother repeating them. So, that said, my compliments to everyone who RPed and the match writers, you all did a great job! ^__^
First things first, my thoughts may come off as a bit harsh, but please don't take them personally. There was nothing really bad, per se, in regards to this show. These are just a couple quick observations.
First, I thought that this show wasn't quite as epic as the first PPV. BOLA was so damn epic that it raised the bar perhaps TOO high. Every match from beginning to end was epic. This show, will it still had some great matches, just seemed the lack that epicness - especially early on. Perhaps that's just due to the late-shows, however.
Second, I did feel like the Saito post-match beatdown was a bit too excessive. Now bear in mind, this is coming from a guy who has a reputation in certain communities for going too far. My old main Myra Benedict had her eye cut out by her 8 year rival at one point; which was my idea. So when I say that Saito assault went a little too overboard, I mean it. Did it get Saito over? Most definitely. But beating on the commentators and ring announcer? Taking the fight into the men's bathroom? I say it was too much because it was a slaughter. If it was more balanced and didn't involve the commentators/announcer, I wouldn't have a problem with it. It wasn't bad quality by any means, but just went too far in my book. Devereaux should just hand over the belt 'cause right now Saito's the more over character in the fed and looks untouchable (kidding of course about handing the belt over).

Yeah I will definitely agree Saito post match was brutal. But it's part of the storyline ongoing with Saito and Jade. It definitely pushed the envelope and it's getting people talking, so I guess any publicity is good publicity... Right? Lol
I think the comparison between BOLA and Fallout is fair. BOLA though crowned our first champions, and had some lights out tv time with our one off tag match. There was also some people who've had to take a leave of absence, so I think that contributed in the decisions to kind of starting the show off slow. BUT, I will say in my opinion I loved the interaction, exchanges, and involvements with the one off competitors this go round. If any of them ever want to come in here and do some more stuff I'm all for it. I thought the matches after Axel's Battleground Network announcement were great, especially the ladder match but I'm a huge mark for a good ladder match.
I'm glad to hear some actual criticism though, that's what makes us better!
Hopefully the road to Guerrilla Warfare and the season finale Coup de Grâce burns the house down!
Agreed with everything I've read so far. The show was freaking amazing. The ones who are consistent should continue to submit segs and keep storylines flowing. it's looking good tho

It's ok, I'm 100% responsible for missing the deadline, I can't believe I didn't clock it was a PPV and put the deadline in properly. But learning experience, I CHECK all them now lol. No more adding 2 weeks. Although, Redemption do a OOC tweet tagging people who haven't posted like 48 or 24 hours before the deadline (near enough) so if you did do a mass PM or DM that would definitely help, but I'm still responsible for missing it. No blame at all to anyone else, I just made a silly mistake
