The additional and/or alternative methods would require and promote creativity, awareness and most of all activity.

If all that matters to someone is judges reading their work, you must not have much pride in your work at all. So much of what goes on here is so foreign to me it almost makes me think we should call this the twilight zone instead of an efed.

If I'm the bad guy for wanting to bring new life back to the fed, maybe we should do the opposite and just shut down registrations altogether.

Thanks for all the suggestions I asked for.

Obviously the ideal is that everybody reads everybody else's work, but there is no way to enforce that. For me personally, I said that judges reading people's work mattered when it came to wins and losses. But from a general perspective, hell yeah I'd love it if everybody read my stuff, but I understand realistically at best I'll probably just get a small core group of people who do. It's been that way in like every fed I've ever been in.

The fact is that creative writing has always been the core basis of what efedding is all about. If you take that away, or minimize it, it becomes another beast altogether.

You're not the "bad guy" for wanting to make things more innovative. But I think the consensus here is that we want to do that without destroying what an e-fed fundamentally is.

I like Vinnie's idea. Keep one "brand" of the XWF traditional. Roleplay based match results. Turn Savage into the experimental one where we try out these new ideas. I don't really think we have a wide enough player basis to pilot two whole RP based shows lately anyway.

I've actually been in multiple feds over the last 10 years, and they've all been RP based. In fact, with the addition of the 24/7 titles XWF IS the most innovative fed I've ever been in. So as far as what other options are out there, I'm really uninformed about that and have zero experience with them. I know the social media angle has gotten pretty popular. I personally loathe social media and it's not my wheelhouse, so different strokes for different folks.

My vote, turn one of the brands into the new idea, whether it be angled social media or whatnot, leave the other one the same. Maybe make the different titles brand specific.

Edit: Vinnie, could you explain your idea more? I mean, it's gotta be more than just tabulating references on Twitter right? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of skill involved in that.
