This is FROM TORTURE:
So, with GD stepping away for the rest of the year and possibly forever (Again reminder: He'll always co-own AW OOC and IC and that won't ever change. He's still an admin), AW has been going through some changes, but on a personal level. For example without getting too into it, some of our admins are adjusting to other work opportunities, new jobs/careers, new schedule changes, and theres me who is going 100 mph, being promoted at my career which means more work/responsibility AND I'm now currently going 1000 mph in AW too! (I decided to be stupid and add OCW and Search to our list of shows cause I never stop lol)
So I talked to the admins today, and it was mostly about the last few weeks they've stepped up in a lot of creative ways, they have done a lot more than they're used to but theres still a lot falling on me and today I produced the show, read all the RPs, judged the show, wrote more than half the show, and then posted the show in 3 different time increments because I was trying as hard as I could to be a father and a significant other to my awesome family. Also theres some livnig changes happening (good things!) on the horizon so we're setting ourselves up for that.
But, half way through today, I got a bit mentally stale on AW and that made me feel sad. I felt bad. I felt.. confused. I won't ever stop doing AW, at least not for the time being so don't be scared. I think about each and every one of you and how AW has changed your life in a lot of ways that you may not know. I know some who were mentally sick and exhausted and just talking to us and making new friends has saved you. I know some of you in this community think of me as this really close friend that you can confide in and rest assure, you're secret safe with me. Always will be.
Theres some of you in this community that have honestly found new real life best friends and you still have yet to meet other in real life. SO I think of all these things and how theres tons of writers who have gotten WAY better, theres writers who have got to play out ideas and stories they've had stuck in their heads for months, years even and finally got to see them come alive. And thats what keeps me going.
What is the fucking point of all this?
Rather than me go crazy, and delete shit and break myself or dig myself in to a hole and alienate everyone, after talking to my dearest friends (the admins), we came up with a good solution that will help take stress/pain/writing off my hands and it continues the health of AW and keeps us going strong!
The deadline will NO LONGER BE sunday at MIDNIGHT(9pm west coast).
THE DEADLINE FOR CLASH, CRUISERCLASH AND ALL PPVS (UNLESS SPECIAL SHOWS/OTHERWISE STATED) will now be Sunday AFTERNOON. 3pm EST/Noon west coast time.
This gives us Sunday nights to read, write, produce, and some of monday morning.
You might think, but wait Tort, results go up monday nights! So we're losing half a sunday and mondays? No but that is FAIR of you to say. I can promise you that I'll do my best to start getting Clashs/PPVs up on Monday Afternoons so cards go up right after and you at least have monday nights to get the ball rolling!
I love you guys, I love this game, and I love our community and I'm always looking to add more great people to it so we can further reach the edges of competitive writing as fake fighters.
Goodnight. Good luck!
