I think most ideas are good ones. People participate in the WWC every week as Rhet has been doing a great job with that. I currently have an event going on (BAE) and its finally getting going. I was thinking about started a MAC (monthly audio challenge) as well. The thing is, the community says they want these things to happen but don't wanna be active for them.

Welcome back Ash it’s nice to see you touching base...
I like your enthusiasm for instant activity, I think there is mileage in your thoughts here..
One idea
Let’s keep the Canadian peeps involved eh
So you have
Topical champ = Canadian
Audio champ = American
Text champ = United Kingdom

Each Champion chooses his same nation reps for each of the three disciplines
And you have the startings of a possible tournament

Just one potential idea, the trick is to build it
Have a go it might be great
HMU for collaboration to help you get started
Gluck

No doubt, wasn't raining on your parade. The members of the site always have good ideas but its rare they get fully executed. It's weird. IC1 & 2 are good examples of great ideas and full execution. The last Bloodlines however...

Yeah if you were going to do this again I'd recommend either:

US vs Rest of World
North America vs Rest of World
Europe vs Rest of World

Why exclude Nigma coz he talks funny? Plus you don't Neek to have to be USA but sabotage coz really he loves Canadia in his heart...

As for "mods permission" - it ain't really about that anymore, if people want to run something, go ahead, if you need mod support then just ask and we will try and help where we can. We have deliberately tried to separate the roles of "leader", "administrator" and "doer" for the sustainability of the site. It seems to be working relatively well as a strategy...

Finally, although I'm not trying to feed an autopsy/debate on Bloodlines, I do believe in "lessons learned" improve the future running of events, so on that note...

I would point out that in less than 1 month we had: OM King w/ 7 entries, Roast w/ 9 entries, Word Drop cypher w/ over 25 entries, Topical Title defence, Text Title change hands, OM War w/ 15 disses thrown, first ever tag team Battle Royale, Battle Royale that only got botched due to no show in the Tag Team Title match, #1 contender for Topical Title match, New Audio Champ crowned...

Objectively, that's a pretty good output for 4 weeks. Yes, we didn't get through to the end - but I would say five main things scuppered execution of the whole package: 

1) too innovative in the format in linking events together - stifled momentum at critical moment
2) too ambitious in aiming to have multiple defences of main belts in same event - affects momentum, you start out at top speed and have to maintain that pace rather than build up to the
3) too much for one person to run
4) too much salt in membership base at the time
5) I shouldn't have acted as a protagonist while also being the host

You can mitigate #1 with better planning. #2 would probably have worked if it hadn't been for #1. #3 again mitigated by better planning or by reducing the scope of features within the event, i.e. include less things. #4 endemic problem at the time. #5 acting as protagonist was challenge to #4 - I think this would have been fine if #1 and #3 were mitigated, or you dialled down the ambition of the event. 

I.e. if I didn't have the second round of title defences in there then event would've basically ended where it did, probably with Battle Royale as conclusion. I imagine it would have been received as a successfully executed event. 

In actual fact, if I had never published the full running order then nobody would've known shit got scrapped...so another lesson there, don't necessarily have to spell out everything in one go, you can say "next 3 things are these" and it makes it a lot more manageable. If we kept the "full list" on the Site Discussion Forum (only selected people can see) then it would allow others to run certain components & make it more "collective effort", rather than "one host". 

Anyway, I digress...the point is, simply, if you aren't prepared to fail you won't try anything new. But equally, if things don't work we should be honest and try and learn the lessons so our future endeavours are more successful.
