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.



Wasn’t hate just saying the event fell flat. Wasn’t as good as past ones

No offence taken, simply accepting that there were downsides and evaluating reasons why...

What do you think made other ones better? Be good to understand what people look like & think makes an event a good one...
