For the new guys...

[A Ghost in the Wind]

ORIGINALLY POSTED IN 2012

**NOTE: The majority of this was copy and pasted from a recent PM I sent out. The original recipient of the PM knows who he was. **

As a fed head, I'd like to personally welcome the lot of you to the boards and Pure Class Wrestling in general. There are about 10-12 of the guys we have that have been around since we first opened our doors (or damn near close to it), and another 5-10 that joined up in our latest incarnation. We're a friendly, albeit busy, bunch of guys who come here to mellow out and have a place to do a hobby the majority of us have been apart of for close to ten (or over, as it is in my case) years. From what I can tell, all the new people that have joined, whether by word or mouth or otherwise, you are all a welcomed breathe of fresh air and I'm sure I speak for the lot of us when I say we hope you (all) have a long-lasting, fulfilling stay.

I know we're a little different than some feds (and very similar to others), so it's either going to be an adjustment you're gonna want to make, or it's gonna be an easy transition...that you'll, uhm...want to make. Either way, once again, welcome to the team and I hope you all fit in.

If you have any questions, please hesitate to ask me, and instead ask Ace Anderson, LoKi, Non Compos Mentis, Grimm, or someone else. They're way more eager to help than I am.

(And although I write that last sentence in jest, self-reflection shows that I am probably stating the truth. )

Welcome to PCW. Where wrestling has class. (Oh, we have a new slogan don't we? Yeah, what's written on the top banner too.)

EDIT: The reason I'm putting this up is because I realized there's just too many new people joining to write individual welcomes. I mean, I guess I could, but why? It's so much easier to lump you all together. Just be sure to describe the chair, bang Sadistic's mom, insult Tom and Rick, fear Grimm, and make fun of our current World Champ. Cuz he's an elf, yo.

You smell. I don't want you to scare people off.

While I have your attention, I'll address another thing that I've seen questioned...wins, losses, and draws...

...I actually base VERY FEW actual losses on angled finishes. Usually, when there is an angled finish, the people in the match, as well as myself, have came together to figure it out.

Wins, losses, and draws are usually determined by RP Score and RP Score alone. Because I very rarely use angled finishes, you'll probably notice more draws in this fed than in most, because if someone scores the same for an rp, I'm not going to give the win to one person over the other. Draws aren't something to be upset or ashamed with- the handlers we have here either have learned the system in place and/or are just really naturally good rpers. As I say with everyone, ask someone who scores consistently good for feedback, because they'll be able to help you score better.

And I won't sugarcoat by saying this- let's be honest, my scoring system is just my opinion. Some people might disagree with scores or be surprised by wins or be annoyed by losses, but at the end of the day, I am the one who does the scoring, so it's based on my opinion. Take wins, losses, and draws with as many grains of salt as necessary and try to enjoy what we do here.

Last thing, at Traumas, you'll see we don't end TOO many matches cleanly, and that's because everyone in the fed is kept strong. Pretty much anyone can wrestle for the world title and have a legit shot at winning, so it's tough to have someone lose cleanly when all the characters are (close to) main event level characters.

When matches end in count-outs, DQs, or the aforementioned draws, the mules and I try to make them mean as much as an actual pinfall or submission victory; we do that to advance storylines. That way, at the PPV events, the payoffs are a lot better when someone actually gets a pinfall or submission win.

As I said in the earlier post, just give yourselves a few shows to get use to everything here. We're not about egos, and will try our best to make you all feel as if you're apart of our family. Which is a little weird when Tom is always banging Sadistic's mom. 8-)

Don't take this the wrong way:

I hate you.


That is all.

Then get your Kentucky ass back and do something about it. Until then, we're going to assume you just enjoy it.
