Well, with the departure of Dave, and J and a couple others AWOL, I've decided to put BOB on hiatus for the rest of the year. I've been thinking about this for a while now, as I'm at the point where I feel like I've done everything I can with BOB at this point that I possibly could. I'm sure there's another good run left, but it just isn't now. I'll still eventually post Final Sin, the Musical, and MegaBrawl III, but with how busy I've been, and everybody else here has been lately, it seems silly to half-ass results. Not sure what this means for BOB 2010 at this point, or if you will stick around. But I just wanted to be upfront and let you all know what's going on, rather than drag this out further. Any questions, post 'em. I'll still be around. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to BOB. Hope to see you all again soon. Later, -Leary

Leary, will Final Sin still be posted in September? If so, I would love to write one last match for BOB.

Not sure if it'll go out on time or not honestly. I'll try to get it posted in September, just not sure of the date now. But if you want to write one last one, I guarantee it will get posted. Voss already wrote Bookface vs. Hippo, so that'd be two matches down. I'll probably keep the clutter to a minimum, and just do about 5-6 matches. Let me know what match you want to do.

Oh, also, I'll recommend New Frontier Wrestling to anybody who might want a new RP e-fed. The handlers, fedhead and shows are all pretty whacky, so anybody here would fight right in over there. Also, it runs at a really slow pace. We've been waiting on our latest show since June or so. fwrestling.com/fwc/forumdisplay.php?f=95 is the main site. fwrestling.com/fwc/forumdisplay.php?f=383 is your application area. And tell Katz (WestPREZ on the forums) that Leary sent ya. ;D As if he didn't hate me enough already.

I changed my mind! Sort of. I'm gonna take Jerri and CSC to NFW to try and see what those two sickos come up with in a serious fed (which probably wont be pretty) but I'm staying in BOB with Hamster Girl and Sanders/Scatman. I don't like BOB not having real shows, because I love Leary's writing, but I still want to stick with the product. I'll probably get bored with NFW after a few weeks and write another show for BOB (BOB Is Butts was an overly drunk and overly ambitious atempt at paying homage to Tarantino and The Story Of Ricky, but I can't delete threads on the new board).
Anyway, I have too much shit and strawberry shortcake in me to quit completely. I would suggest to Leary that he just run house shows without show-recaps. That way BOB lives on, and he doesn't have to do anything but post cards and bold the winners. I love having shows to read, but I love ranting more... so please don't go on hiatus.
Sorry for the nervous breakdown, I have them quite regularly and think the world is coming to an end. At least I don't scrub my kitchen floor with a toothbrush (that's being saved for Kevin's next run).

Well, I guess part of the questions I asked in Music just now have been answered. I'm with Dave on the hope that we continue on with just cards and results, forget the actual show writing. PPV's I am sure we can lump together some effort and write if wanted. But if you need the break I understand that completely too. I might check out the recomended fed but I doubt if I would join. I have enough on my plate as it is right now both on and offline. If we continue this year I'm here. If we go on hyatus till '10 then I'll likely be sitting on the sidewalk with my Coleman camp stove and sleeping bag waiting for the doors to open again. Maybe 5th in line but just because I am trying to keep downwind of Scatman. Don't worry about me getting frostbite though, the polyurithane suit is super insulated and cozy.

I can post cards if you guys want to kill the time. I just figured it would get boring with no payoff. Especially in your case Dave if you're basically ranting against yourself. Let me see how this week goes. My wife is starting up work this week. I've just been so busy the last 2 weeks with work, errands and miscellaneous stuff that I haven't even had time to sort out the card from the last show, and I didn't want to be a dishonest fedhead. And I'm always of the mentality that you either do something 100% or you don't bother. So...I'll see how my week goes. You guys want weekly house shows or every other week?

The question is, actually, with the size of the roster just how many actual handlers are there here? I know Dave has been playing multiple characters as has VossMan and I'm not sure who else. I have Hippo and Shorty. If there are only three handlers and yourself right now then, yeah, maybe a break is needed.
If we have enough handlers to avoid continually playing off the same people then every other week would be cool or maybe even once a month.
Regardless as to when or if I'll be hanging around the OOC area till we are back up and running.

i'd say about eight.
but that was last time i checked.
so there's probably less than that now...
... i don't think there's enough to avoid having the same people face eachother most of the time.
but i'm probably wrong.
