OK boys. In speaking with Mr. Voss, he had the great idea of taking BOB in a more old-school ECW-style direction. Because BOB is EXTREME! After giving it a lot of thought, I agreed with him. I have a ton of ideas ready to roll and the fun will really start next year in February or so. But for now, here's what's up for the rest of this year.
Also, I posted a new House Show Thread: bobwrestling.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=houseshow&action=display&thread=1177 You will notice there are no matches. That is intentional, as this ties in with part of the new plan. BOB is going to be completely unpredictable heading forward. We may announce a couple matches here and there, but overall, I want a complete chaos vibe, where you don't know what's going to happen from week to week, show to show.
How does this affect RPing? Well, you can RP however you want. You can react to show results. You can throw out challenges to give me an idea of who you want to feud with. Or you can do RPs that don't really have to do anything with the shows, but they should develop your character.
Also, and this is the big part: We are going to start moving away from being a "parody fed" to be a "freeform fed." This is so I can run more angles. Because we have a small roster, it's really hard to have all the active RPers fighting each other. So, there will be feuds with active people and BOB legends as NPCs (non-playable characters). This will allow us to have characters like douja, Kamikazie Ken, and others on the roster and involved in good feuds.
There will still be stupidity and lots of comedy and entertainment. Old ECW had plenty of fun in it. The original vision for BOB was to have some good wrestling surrounded by some goofy gimmicks and silly angles. That's all I'm looking for. Thus, we won't have any more animals/inanimate objects/emoticons as wrestlers (like American Panda, Steel Chair, Festering Death, for example). It's going to be all people, although Death may pop in as a 911 kill or beat the crap out of people role.
BOB will get back to TV next year in some form. Still working out ideas on that.
Anyhow, I'm pretty excited about what we've got planned. Much more info to come as I think of important/noteworthy changes.

Then I'll get to work on the older shows and post 'em retro style.
