Match History

[Vc0m]

I don't really think this is really lazy, Tai. There are plenty of rivalries IRL that transcended companies before, and there is nothing wrong with telling that story and linking it over to AFW. Plus, because of the differences the boards might have, there are plenty of matches and stories that one wouldn't think of on AFW and go to LAW for it, and vice versa.

I do disagree with last point as well. What if my char heel turns? Should she remain face on one of the boards?

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it would be...lazy, i guess, to just piggy back off your own work done at a different board rather than starting fresh. Not to mention the confusion if you plan on using a character on both boards, but want both to be canon to each other.

People put work into their AFW characters and rp's. Call it lazy if you will, but I think it's counterproductive and oppressive to force everyone into a fresh start. The confusion should be remedied in the relevant character's profiles, which we will ask users to maintain.

At the very least, make it clear that LAW, if it has to reside in the AFW Canon, is an entirely separate league of its own that characters fight in, but what happens in each board won't effect the other.

It's already been made clear that this is an entirely separate league. I see no issue with something happening to a character on one board having an effect that character on the other board. If a character is injured on AFW, and the character was written to be part of both canons, they should be injured here as well for the duration of the injury. There will be certain things that only retain merit on their own boards. For example, an LAW title shouldn't equate to much on AFW and vice versa. But there's nothing wrong with a character working both shows, in my opinion.

I'm kinda liking the idea of people maybe belonging to both cannons. I do think though that it should be made VERY clear on the profile of the character and maybe alluded to in the threads they're participating in if needed. Otherwise it's an internet rp board, as long as people are having fun it really shouldn't matter all that much.

I'd compare being on both boards to wrestling in RoH and NJPW. It's our work to copy over if we choose, but everyone understands even being an AFW god will earn no extra merit here. Everyone's starting fresh.

stuff like the face heel turn is what I'm talking about though. Trying to do stuff that effects stories in BOTH boards just risks being over complicated and confusing, especially for people that might be involved in a story over there, but not over here.

This is just my personal opinion but I'd suggest that, while past stuff on AFW can be canon to LAW, LAW can't be canon to AFW. For starters, Kelsea would never allow it, and frankly it's unfair to ask people to read both boards just to keep up with what's going on with stories and characters they may enjoy.

Before saying, "Hey, I've decided my new site is totally canon to the site that's been around forever, for whoever wants it to be", Winner, as the Admin of this site, should discuss it over with Kelsea, admin of AFW, first, and make sure that's cool.

Literally no one has.

Nor will.

It'd be the equivalent of drawing your character beating a AFW champion and going "SEE, IT HAPPENED HERE, IT SHOULD HAPPEN ON THE BOARDS"

We've already said that we'll do what we can do make it clear. I don't think being able to follow both canons is beyond the comprehension of people on this site. As long as it's made clear in character profiles and the appropriate threads, I don't see the issue.

This is just my personal opinion but I'd suggest that, while past stuff on AFW can be canon to LAW, LAW can't be canon to AFW. For starters, Kelsea would never allow it, and frankly it's unfair to ask people to read both boards just to keep up with what's going on with stories and characters they may enjoy.

Whether the character comes from AFW or elsewhere shouldn't matter. They can maintain stories on both boards without imposing on anyone. I don't quite understand what's unfair about having people read both boards if and only if they want to totality of a character's story. If anything, it only helps both boards because you get web traffic going to both.

I'm not seeing the relevance of seniority, here. You're gonna have to break it down for me.

I just want to add an idea on this point. If one makes sure to say what happened in AFW and in LAW on both timelines on both sides, the story is fairly coherent. I understand where you are coming from, Tai, but I don't think there is much of a problem.

[old_man_tai]

The "seniority" thing is because if you guys decide that your stuff on LAW is going to have an effect on stories in AFW and then it should be properly discussed between WInner and Kelsea first, because if Kelsea decides to make a rule about "Law stuff isn't canon to AFW characters that work both leagues", then that could potentially (keep in mind this is just about potential issues that might arise) that could cause a problem for people on either side.

Plus its just kind of respectful to discuss matters involving "cross over" (for lack of a better term) with a sites admin before you make a decision like that involving their site. again, this is just my opinion, I'm not trying to burst anyones bubble

[Vc0m]

OK. That I can agree with. But maybe for right now, we could deal with it on a "case-by-case"?
