Deadline Whoring/Late Posting
• The main issues faced with the current Deadline Topics are - it's annoying to everyone competing against each other and their replies. It makes the fed look less active during the week. It's harder for judging and match writers to prepare and collate results which delays shows.
• Our original idea which had traction when it first started but quickly lost momentum was to dock points off for people who Whore and dock more points off for those who sandbag. Unfortunately it appears that regardless of anything people will still post late so there are ways we can deal with it but nothing set in stone. A few of you have brought it up as an issue so we're doing our best to address it.
• We can have a 2 deadline system where 1 RP MUST be posted in the first week. If an RP isn't posted in the first week then only one can be posted in the second week limiting that person to only 1 post.
• We can dock more points off for Deadline Whoring and Sandbagging which would see late RPs more harshly judged and rendered almost useless.
• We can have a gauge system in place where your RP will have the ability to gain more points the earlier it is posted. If it is posted later or on deadline day then regardless if it's a great RP or not, it will lose most of it's points.
• The final option is we can leave everything the way it is. Some of you have expressed that this is a big issue and others of you have told me it's not that important but either way it needs to be addressed.
EHWF Rosters
• EHWF Mayhem and Anarchy are two completely different shows and both exist for different reasons. It's been a year since the rosters were drafted and people have voiced that they think it's time for a shakeup of sorts to keep things fresh and to make sure everyone has different opponents.
• A draft isn't as easy as it looks. Both rosters have enough members for a decent card each week but there are always those underlying reasons why certain people are in certain positions so randomly drafting everyone around could occur but not everyone will be happy.
• We will put a bigger focus on recruiting new people this month and we WILL have some sort of draft/shakeup of some kind even if it is a small one.
• Not everyone is high on the idea of a draft, some people are completely against it. I was for it a few months ago but now I see that it's just not that easy - some people are and some people aren't. That being said the initial idea I had when Anarchy was first split was to have a live draft of some kind on the fed - this was another idea that not many up there went for but if we're going to work out a brand draft of some kind in the coming weeks/months I think that's the way I'd like it to go as it's different and something creative. If anyone and their character has interest in that role of manager and draft then please, let me know.
EHWF Cleanup
• EHWF just needs a general clean up to make it look better and more appealing. I plan to spend this week with a few people mapping out the cosmetics and updating things that need updating but there are A LOT of people with accounts on the fed that aren't on the main roster or have nothing to do with the fed at all except for a visit every six months. I will be deleting these accounts. Members with dead accounts, ultra long LOAs, inactivity and who don't belong to the main roster in some capacity will be deleted - they always have the opportunity to come back any time they want but I see it as useless to keep them here when they haven't had anything to do with the fed for a 1+ years.
• The dead and inactive accounts will also free up pic bases which are for some reason still taken by people who have been gone for ages. 2 Weeks ago I talked to two random efedders on Twitter and tried to recruit them. It often happens that people you try to recruit won't join because someone is using their pic base. If it's an active member there is nothing I can do about it and you just can't have them join but the people I spoke to weeks ago had pic bases they couldn't join as because people who have been inactive for such a long time still have them taken... It's nothing personal to the inactive members as I know people get a little cunty after you delete their accounts after a year long absence sometimes but there is just no reason to keep the account around, they always have the right to join back up to the main roster if they wish.
• If anyone has any issues about the above account cleanups that will be happening shortly please contact me so we can talk about it.
I appreciate all of your opinions and responses regarding these points especially about the Deadline and the Draft topics.
Thanks
