Boards Deleted!?

News for 9/17/2004
The IWA boards have been deleted due to inactivity (I suppose) so when you click the Boards link above, you'll find my website's forum instead. I just noticed the deletion today and thought I'd make the change so you all can keep in touch with each other and with me. Feel free to post there as if it's the IWA boards.

Results... are... posted! The link above is now activated or you can just click here. Thanks for being patient. I decided to pull a Nick and put them up over a week late. I got my ass in gear after I was IMed several times Sunday by different people wanting to know the results' status. You guys really DID want them. Well, they're done. I hope you enjoy. Big thanks to Dennis for coming up with the idea to have the show, getting several people on board, gladly accepting like 5 matches, only roleplaying once, then leaving all but one match up to me to write. GREAT HELP, MAN! THANKS A MILLION! Thanks to Ony (seriously) for writing me a match also and to Sarah for offering. Post your thoughts of the results on the board and... keep in touch.

I'll write up what results I can tonight, but the only two matches I was able to dump off have still yet to show up in my inbox. One I know for sure I'll get to write, and the other I'll most likely have to do. I'd except results up no sooner than tomorrow evening. I bet you're all crushed since it's quite obvious who won what matches. I'm going to write them up anyway, though.

Site best viewed with 800x600 resolution! I've been struggling with FrontPage both on putting Jarrod's banner up, then trying to get the damn thing centered as you may have guessed. If it's off center for you now, too bad. It's pulling some weird shit with me and I can't get it figured out, this is where I'm leaving it. Most of you use 800x600 resolution anyway, so I'll get it centered for that resolution. That's it.

News for 12/11/2003
Like the banner? I do. Big thanks to Jarrod for making it for us. There were some miscommunications, but we finally got on the same page and it turned out great. Again, thank you, Jarrod. As Jay suggested, the roleplay deadline has been extended through January 3rd and the event pushed back to January 4th. This is due to having very few roleplays up halfway through the final week to post them. You now have pretty much all of your holiday vacation, so relax and just have fun with it. If you're interested in writing a match, please let me know either via email or posting on the OOC board. We could really use some help in the area with such a large card. Also, if one or both of your characters are not on the current roster (in other words, if I don't have their stats), please email them to me. If you'd like to update your theme music, finisher, weight, manager, anything, feel free to pass those along to me as well. nsw_owen@yahoo.com

Good news. The card is finalized! You can view it by clicking here. We've agreed on 4 weeks for roleplaying and 3 roleplays per match. You may combine them, however. Roleplaying is closed late Saturday night on the 13th of Dec. There's no exact  deadline, though. This is so people won't use the tactic that Bob and I made famous; posting several roleplays seconds before the deadline expires. So if you want to post one at 2:00 am, 3:00 am, 6:00 am even, I won't raise a stink about it. We're just here for a fun last hurrah anyhow. Don't go crazy on us with this, though. No 4:00 pm postings late Sunday afternoon on the 14th. And that should be it. Have fun, guys.

News for 11/13/2003
First, my apologies. My intent was to have the card finalized by now, and it isn't. School got a little hectic, and it looks like it'll only get worse over the next few weeks. But you guys don't care about my excuses, you care about the card, which is updated and can be viewed by clicking here.

I tried to give those that made suggestions on the message board what they wanted without making drastic changes to the card. That's why the only match that I added was the triple threat Student(s) vs. Teacher match.

If those involved don't like it, I might suggest a Student vs. Student match since Dennis already has so many matches on the card. Dennis did "train" both of you, didn't he? HBK could still be involved in some way. Maybe you're both battling for his respect or something similar to that. Well, that's all I have for today.

News for 11/8/2003
A tentative card has been made and can be viewed by clicking here. The card is not final. We're still waiting on a few wishy-washy people who are holding up the whole operation. If they decide to participate, they could be inserted into your match, or we could pull you out of the match you're scheduled for completely in order to face one of them. That's why you definitely shouldn't start roleplaying yet. That goes for everyone.

To those few who either haven't responded to the emails or have told us you're undecided, we can't wait forever. Please make up your minds in the coming days or we'll move ahead without you. I plan to finalize the card and open roleplaying by this time next week (hopefully around Wednesday/Thursday), so that's the timeframe you're looking at.

Jarrod, we could use you here. We need a banner for the event. My banner making skills are limited, and Paint Shop Pro has been acting very strange lately. If you're skilled at all at this, please let us know either by email or on the OOC board. We have a few ideas we'd like to discuss. That's all for now, guys. We'll keep you posted.

NSW/IWA Reunion Event In the Works

News for 11/1/2003
I'm not sure how this came about really, but Dennis (HBK) started contacting people and asking if they were interested in a "reunion event" once he found out I was talking to Terra on MSN today. The response was warm, or so Dennis says. Ony (Thunder), Darryl (Terra), Robert (Bazooka), Dennis (HBK), myself (Owen Hart), and Bob (Primetime) have all unofficially put our names in the hat for the event. That's 100% of the people we've contacted so far. The Great Ant, Jay Skillz, Iman Sain, Hollywood, Jarrod Steele, and Jeff Hardy are a few we plan to attempt to reach in the next few days.

As I said, the people I listed have unofficially agreed to the event. We need it to be official. For that, go to the boards. Find the "Roll Call" thread and follow the directions there. It'll take a while to gather the gang back up, so once you've done that, you might as well take it easy for a week or so. Once we have everyone gathered back up, we'll ask you to email us an application of sorts. We'll just want updated wrestler information. Once we have that, we'll set a card, post it here, and open roleplaying. That is all. I look forward to talking and "working" with you guys again.

Amped won't be happening tonight due to the extremely low amount of RPs. If anyone had and angles, segments, etc that needed furthered, just put them on the storyline board. Ground Zero has been finalized as promised. Roleplaying for it is officially open. Remember, three RPs per match. Let's try to actually make this event worth writing if at all possible, guys. I'm outta here.

I've made a slight change to the Amped card for Rain. If your name is Jarrod Steele, Mitch Montell, or Bazooka, you were effected by the change. Take a look. That's all for now.

I got just about everyone a bio page up. Go over the roster and check yours out. Please report any dead links, images that didn't show up, etc to me. I'll test everything out myself but the images will come up on my computer since it's where they came from. So I have to right click every image to see it's source and I really don't feel like doing that with every button on every new page. So please just let me know if anything doesn't work. There are a few of you that don't have bio pages up yet. Primetime, Terra, Hall, Nash, I think you guys are the only ones. I either didn't get an application from you (cause I signed you up over AIM or Yahoo!) or you haven't sent one to me yet, or I misplaced your application. If you could send those along, that'd be great. That's it. Later.

Amped results are up. VERY good show. Thanks to Bazooka for helping me out with two matches. And thanks to me for helping myself out with the other two. WHERE WERE YOU GUYS!? I also wrote the majority of the segments. I'm f*ckin' exhausted. Next week's card will be posted soon. Enjoy Amped! I've done another Roster evaluation. Davis and Shadow are gone. You guys can come back if you want but if I don't hear anything, you're hereby fired. I added Dead Man Walking himself and Hall and Nash to the roster. Hall and Nash, please send your applications so I can put the rest of your info up. Thanks.

Your special Sunday edition of Amped is posted. The card will be up just as soon as I can get over and post one. Everyone should take a close look at the roster. I've deleted a few people who have failed to roleplay for several weeks. Those no roleplayers who weren't booked for this show will be given their last chance on this week's show. No roleplays and you're taken off the roster just as Jay Skillz, Venom, and Bullet were. If your computer messed up or something and you couldn't come online just let me know I'll put you back on the roster. If you just disappeared for several weeks and have decided you want to come back, let me know. If I don't hear from you in the next little while, I'm not going to put you back on the roster. My guess is you'll want to come back as soon as you read this week's Amped. Business is about to pick up.

I left an important segment out of this week's Amped show. I've added it now for anyone who wants to check it out. It's just before the main event and is entitled "They're Ready For You, Mr. Thunder."

I've pushed back the RP deadline a full 24 hours this week. Amped will be on Sunday this week. Yes, that means the deadline is 11:59 p.m. Saturday night.

After... well... a minor setback, we're trying to get back on track. I'm back in power so maybe stuff will get done around here. It appears I can't leave the job to anyone else. But this isn't the time nor the place to voice my displeasure with anyone so I won't. Your Amped card is posted on the Announcements board. Remember, everyone who had an angle that needed to go down, rethink it and send me your ideas so I can put them into this show. Everyone should check the roster too. If your name appears in red you've failed to roleplay for one or more weeks. It also means I'm about to delete your name from the roster and stop using you. You in the red are the reason people aren't roleplaying much. People know you don't roleplay so they only put out the minimum or a really crappy effort. So I'm done with you if you screw up again. Since I fear we're about to lose some people, I'd like ask everyone out there to find a recruit or two. I'll be very generous with points since we need talent big time. We'll discuss points, title shots, and other extras when you bring me some guys. Later, sirs.

Impact is just a little while from being posted. While I work on it, I wrote up a little "Pre-Game" type thing you all can read. Hope no one minds that I used their character(s) for interviews. Primetime, Terra, Thunder, Owen, and Bazooka were all used. Such subjects as the rumored return of Sergeant Slam, a Primetime/Venom alliance, dislike for IWA management, and 24/7 rule were discussed. Everyone should read it. Click here to check it out. Impact results are now up. It was a great card. Check it out here: IWA Impact

After the poorest showing to date, I've done results. Everyone should take a look and pay special attention to the "main event" or what came of it actually. Then jump over to the Announcements board because I'm about to put the finishing touches on the Impact card. Once it's posted and finalized, Impact roleplaying is open. Thank you and I hope to see you all (roleplaying) VERY soon.

Amped results are up. It's a pretty pathetic show overall. I'd take the blame for it if the effort hadn't been just as poor. I'm taking steps to get us back on track though. Maybe I can get some help from my staff. Yeah right. Primetime, get ready for a promotion. I may be cutting the fat pretty soon. Amped card will be posted momentarily. Let's try to get this place turned around, people!
