I know the majority of the fed is US or Canadian, and of course you guys are invited too if you want to face the higher pings of playing on the European servers, but…

Anyone who plays Marvel Rivals, if you fancy teaming up, add me in game. My username - shockingly, for those who know me - is “Ravyn Effect”. I know, I can’t believe how original and different my username is either.

I play on X-Box, and I’d love to have a few more people to play with either quick play (if you play PC) or competitive (if you play console, since you can’t cross play on competitive but can on every other mode).

I won’t pretend I’m the world’s most amazing player, but I’m doing pretty well right now. Normally play Invisible Woman, Scarlet Witch or Magik, but also enjoy a little Hulk, Thing, Jeff and Star-Lord. I have an alarmingly high win ratio on Star-Lord, but I’d imagine I’ll bring that back down again if I play him more. ??

After the first vote, the overwhelming majority of the fed favours some level of universal word limits, regardless of match. I realize for some who valued the flexibility or the specialness our existing RP limits offered for PPV or title matches, this will be disappointing. This does, however, reflect the changing nature of the game, and for two positives, it will likely make SCW more approachable to new members, and it will obviously make judging a bit quicker as roleplays will be a consistent length.

There is only one vote of difference between two options so I am re-running the vote with the aim of ensuring that everyone's voice is heard for the final decision. Duplicate votes will not count (I am able to see who voted for what). I will allow the vote to be open until Tuesday night at 11:59:59 pm ET, so I can use it in advertising the fed and also to reflect these new rules in the first show back.

Thanks again for taking the time to vote.

Hello all,

As I've hinted at on the discord, I had some plans to help ensure shows have a better chance to be on time, but also to manage my workload and also those of others. These changes will come a few ways.

First, please take some time to read and vote in the poll regarding roleplay limits going forward. One option I've debated, now that most of us are used to word limits, is to revise the demands for title matches and ppv matches as most people are rarely going past the word limits anyways, and we go with a different cap there.

Second - The biggest change is that for those who know, I write the results mimicking television, meaning they have to hit a certain page number to fit our "window" and mimic a three hour show. What many don't know is that often, one of the reasons shows are delayed is that I'm trying to fill the show. Some shows it's easy - there's a lot of content and I have to make cuts and it's all there. Others, I get to about 50 pages, but as my window is 63-72 pages (to mimic roughly 22 pages per hour with a margin for error), I then have to start figuring things out.

So, the next change will be simple - we're going to act like our TV window is now a two hour show instead of a three hour show. This means aiming for a show that is 45-50 words instead of longer (although we may get that overrun!). And it also means I'll be booking a bit differently, namely that I'll be aiming for 4-6 matches per show instead of the usual 7 to 9. This means that people will be booked, I hope, more purposefully, and also less judging on my end, and also less need to keep the creative drive going. All of that is to allow me to focus on a great show. And if people want to be booked every show, they can be - they may just have more dark matches (and I may do something where these matches turn into website specials, etc.). Of course, people can submit segments too, but all of this should allow me, especially on weeks where I may have limited help for whatever reason, to keep the focus on what is necessary and limit the amount of extra work. Writing a five match show solo is far more manageable when I get busy with work than a seven match show solo.

I have a few other ideas also but I'll allow those to be revealed more as I book. One thing that will also help is that I'm teaching a bit less than I have been in recent years, so I hopefully will not have as many commitments there, but also, I'll hopefully not be as burnt out when I'm using a lot of similar skills at a time.

Hello all,

Now that it's been a few years since we made the shift to 3500 words per roleplay for TV, for the most part, this is what people write. Rarely do people go well over that limit for ppvs and usually they're specific matches (Title matches people are really motivated to win; Taking Hold of the Flame, etc.).

That in mind, as we are getting older, on average, as a roster, I wanted to revisit this discussion and offer a few options and gauge the temperate of the roster going forward.

Option 1: We keep things as they are. Title matches (not including TV Title) on Breakdown and PPV matches have no word limits. TV shows have 3500 words per roleplay. 2 RP Limit per show.

Option 2: We go to a global 3500 words per roleplay no matter the show or match. All matches have that limit and all matches have a 2 RP Limit

Option 3: We go to a 3500 words per roleplay rule BUT title matches or PPV matches go to a 3 roleplay limit. This means that they still stand out, still offer some writing flexibility, but now with a third roleplay with a cap, instead of no limits in the word count.

All other roleplaying rules would remain (Only one roleplay in the last 24 hours). Ultimately, across the last few years, it should also be clear that quality has always triumphed over quantity. It's more how do we want to offer writers more space, if at all, while balancing that all of us have lives, have other commitments, and want to also get the most out of this hobby.

Please vote and comment and I realize there may be some disagreements, but please keep it civil.

That's all, folks.

I can't do this any more. My mind is everywhere but here, and that's not fair to my opponents.

It's been a blast, but my e-fedding days are officially over.

I'm still in the Discord server, so you can hit me up there. (D.P. Pendragon)

Thank you for taking me in and becoming my friends.

At SCW's "Rise to Greatness" event this past weekend, there was no short of noticeable faces in the crowds-but one bunch in particular wasn't missed by anyone as SCW camera crews backstage managed to catch a shot of a large group of people being escorted in and out of both the Toyota Center and the NRG Stadium this past weekend, one face stood out amongst the crowd:



As seen here, Reno Dumont-the "Caporeigme" of the Rogue Horsemen stable being escorted everywhere by SCW security was on hand for the entire pay per view. One has to wonder if he was there for his son Chris' match against Veil or some other reason.
