OK, here's the info on what I'm planning for iMPLOSION. Basically, over the last few years in BOB, RPs haven't mattered too much, as long as you were participating, you usually got a decent enough presence on the cards. Sure, there are a lot of changes I'd love to make now looking back involving certain pushes/characters, but what can I say, I was drunk most of 2003-2004. And parts of 2002, honestly.
So, here's the deal with iMPLOSION. RPs are going to matter. It's not going to be based on the basketball outcomes this year, but what's going to happen is a much more focused version of our yearly attempt at March Mayhem. It'll be 32 people involved in a big tournament (with the stakes to be revealed on the first show) that will be determined by YOU (and my judgment of you, basically).
I don't have a planned winner. The people who have the funniest or most creative or just all around most entertaining Rants will advance. Seedings have been based on an all-time BOB points system similar to hockey standings.
So, I'll lay it out simply. If you RP and your opponent doesn't, even if it's just a one-liner for example, you win. If neither person RPs, then it's up to me who advances (there won't be any double-eliminations). If both RP, then whichever RP I enjoyed more gets rewarded. Pretty simple, right? I hope so.
iMPLOSION will lead us to the big final match, which will feature the final four, at our yet-to-be-named next On-Demand event. As a somewhat related tangent, if anybody has any OnDemand names you'd like to throw out, I'm open to all ideas, even if it doesn't end up being used for the next show.
Right then. With that all in mind, the first card will be posted in a few minutes. If you are active and are not on the first show, don't freak out. Everyone will have matches within the first three shows.
All I ask is that if you are ranting for the first show, don't mention the tournament, because realistically, your character doesn't know about it yet and none of you know what the stakes are. All you know if you have a match. Get it?
Any questions/comments/On-Demand name suggestions, don't hesitate to respond.
Cheers.
