Yeah, as I do every time PPV time comes around, I'm going to throw up a post for ya'll to volunteer to help write results for our PPV.
Let me first say this...
...Do NOT volunteer if don't really feel like writing them. I hate people doing things out of pity. If no one volunteers, then I'll end up writing them myself.
...Do NOT volunteer if it's going to keep you from actively roleplaying. I'm hoping to get atleast two roleplays from everyone involved in the Pay-Per-View. If helping write a match is going to prevent you from trying to make the PPV all it can be RP-wise, then don't.
...Do NOT volunteer if you're NOT going to be able to write it. Don't volunteer thinking, "I might be able to get it written." Or thinking with a 45% chance. Only volunteer if you're almost 100% positive you'll be able to submit the match to me. I don't wanna NOT write a match thinking someone else is going to, and then, either put results up late waiting for someone to send it in, or I have to go last minute and try to write a match.
If ya'll could comply with those three things, I will be more than happy to take all the help I can get. I know I could use it. But if not, I'll handle it. If you wanna help, leave me either a reply here, drop me a line via messenging program [AIM, Yahoo, MSN], and/or leave me a message either through email or PM.
For those who end up helping, let me thank ya'll in advance. Thanks.

Oh, and another thing, look throughout the old PPV results if you have to, but if you decide to volunteer, please write them in the format in which I am currently using for the results. Don't make them where I have to go in and do all sorts of formatting [hours worth] to make them atleast look proportionate with the other results.

As I have been telling a few others, I'm really seriously thinking about putting this PPV in summary form. Maybe a bit more indepth than Traumas, but definitely thinking of putting them in summary form. Here are the reasons why:
• Only 2 people volunteered to write matches, and they only volunteered for 1 a piece. That leaves 4 other matches [not counting the dark match]. I roughly write between 4-8 pages per match, but I'll go with a lower number, and say 5 pages per match. That's atleast 20 pages right there. Then I'll have to write all the other stuff [such as intro to the results and any segments sent in], which means I'll have about 28-30 pages [give or take] of writing to do.
• I got things to do Monday, and PPV writing isn't really at the top of the list [though, it IS up there somewhere].
• I'm not really feeling like writing PPV results. I'd have to start by tomorrow {I'm referring to Saturday} if I wanted to atleast try and get them out on time, and I just don't feel inspired to [and just don't feel like I should] write them.
• It'd be alot of unnecassary writing. No matter what, NO ONE reads the full-PPV results. I don't care if you say you do or you don't. No one does. They read their match [or at the very least, the ending of it], skim through the rest of the results, or read just the winner, and that's it.
With that said, I am not trying to pressure anyone into volunteering. And I'm not 100% sure if I will be summing the matches or not. I'm on the fence right now. By tomorrow, I'll know for sure. Of course, volunteering to write matches [with the intent of actually submitting those results and on time], will help out greatly with my decision. But that's not the only factor. I'll think it over tonight, and I'll let you guys know if I'm going to summarize or write-out in full, Collision Course's results.
If you want to comment on this matter, either positively or negatively, please reply to this post.

Yeah...I've come to my conclusion. This PPV will be the first PPV that I use summary format for. It may be a bit of a let-down and a drag, but aye...it'll save me from doing uneccassary writing, will get the results out ASAP, and will allow me to not stress the hell out.
My apologies to those who were really looking forward to reading atleast their match, but I'm sure it's not TOOO disappointing.
