Where is everyone?

[AJ Supreme]

I know it's Thanksgiving week and all, but where in the heck has everyone gone? The activity has died way down. We need to ban together and get this place rolling again.

[The Davids Brothers]

Yeah, I'm trying to remain active and everything but I just got alot of crap going on right now. I should have a couple rp's up either tonight or tomorrow

[Alexander Rose]

Sorry, AJ, I really wanna help... but honestly, I got nothing. Dunno even a good way to bring Kold back from the injury. I'm sure I'll have an epiphany by the weekend, and I'll put something up.

["K-OS" Karl O'Sullivan]

I must say something. I'm very sorry guys. I haven't got any valid excuse to why I've been quiet lately. It's entirely my fault. I've been wracking my brain until my head hurts trying to get creative, but I'm just producing lousy, pathetic crap. I just feel I'm putting the key in the ignition but the car won't start.

It's frustrating. I love this place and I feel that I'm letting everyone down.

I need The Pit Bull to come alive, smash through my computer screen and clothesline me...to hell.

Again, I'm really sorry guys. I'll try my best to get something up for this weeks show.

Ian.

Ian,

I admire your feelings of accountability, but I don't think you should beat yourself up. You're only one person. If anything, I wonder if there's anything I as a card writer could have done differently.

I think one of the pros in RCW is that our "locker room" as it were is full of veterans. With very few exceptions, most of the players here a long time e-fed guys. We've been drama free, everyone is willing to work together towards the good of the angle/fed/match. In the 8 shows we've done, I've only had a discussion with one person as to the way their match went, and it was a positive, upbeat conversation about how they could improve.

But the downside of having vets is...we all have lives. No one here is expected to have RCW as their top priority - I know I don't. So while we use this fed for escapism, there are often real life issues where we have to worry about putting a roof over our head, food on our table, and our significant others and family content. Stack that up against whatever wacky shenanigans might happen to Cletus Beauchamp on an episode of Southern Dynamite, and there's no competition.

Should the votes continue as it looks like they are going to, we do plan to keep the OOC & Backstage board open. I had a conversation with Dan earlier when he told me RCW was the first place he visits when he logs on. That to me speaks highly of this place. Even if there's not a show for a while, I'd love to see backstage board discussions on what they really liked about the shows, what angles, characters, etc are great, and what they're looking forward to when we all return.

And of course, Thursdays will still be crush day. Except for this Thursday, when us Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. You Brits can just continue drinking warm beer and watching the BBC .

I know I haven't been too active lately, and again I'm sorry... I feel I need to say that a hundred times more. Just like Ian said, I feel like I let RCW, Nick, AJ, and anyone who might just be visiting the fed down by my lack of activity... God knows I have let myself down.

I know what the response to that is, "don't worry, real life comes first" and I understand that and am very grateful so many here feel that way, but when I first told AJ and Nick I would join RCW, I really wanted to help out, not just "in-character" but also "ooc"... and lately I have really dropped the ball there.

Real life is still kicking my butt, and I still find little time to be online, but RCW is the first stop I make when I come online, quickly followed then by facebook... but regardless, I am still always around "behind the scenes" so to speak, and even though I can't be active "in-character" right now... I hereby make a promise to RCW that I WILL be more active OOC again.

RCW 4 Life... and you better believe that once my real life calms down again... "The ShowStopper" will be BACK!!!!!

OK... time for sleep... I lost ALOT of money playing poker at work tonight... so my head hurts, lol.

Thanks guys.....It's refreshing to have people that actually feel bad about not being active......And yes I'll say it again, Real Life Comes First........It isn't just something we say, it's real.....This is just a game we all use to get away from real life sometimes.....I am thankful that Nick and I have put something out there that people want to visit and want to be a part of......So I say thank you to all who have been here over the past eight shows and have stuck it out with us.......Viva La RCW!!!!
