Got there in the end, first show available here https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=106306008&postcount=11

Please let me know if you have trouble reading it, it's done entirely in picture format so while I can read it fine I've no idea what it's like on other devices. If anyone wants I can send them a plain text version instead.

Should have my next post up soon, just deciding on the format. Ive been toying with a few different ways to go about telling my story of how the PPV got shaped.

Hopefully you all stayed safe in the bad weather.

I'm glad I got my stuff up early because I'm mentally fried after two simultaneous WW games the past 7 days. :pac:

Have my graphics all done up, have the plans all thought out, just gotta put pen to paper.

I've switched out the picks thread for the evalutation thread as a forum sticky as well, so everyone can see it easier

This is great as someone... I dunno who... Put there first post in last year's thread...

With 3 and a half weeks left, I am disappointed only 7 of the 20 people playing this year have posted their first show.

So many people had opinions about how the game should be run and the majority ruled in relation to changes in the game, yet only 7 people have managed to get their posts up thus far.

I had hoped that with the lesser workload more people would be encouraged to get shows up and part take in the write up phase by now. I had hoped that with the Evaluation thread opened since round 11 and coupled with the fact that the picks phased ended on the 16th of last month (though some people have been finished drafting since the 12th.) that most people would have had at least 1 post up by now.

Maybe I got it wrong when giving a six week period to get shows up, if I had made it 4 weeks there would be only 11 days left until the submission deadline.

Cheers to the guys that have made the effort to get posts up already and I hope to see some improvement in the posts submitted in the coming weeks. I myself am putting the finishing touches to my second post as we speak.

Either way I look forward to finishing my own work and reading those who submit work of their own. Good lucks guys

I am taking it we have until April 1st to get the full ppv in and also shows if doing them, are they compulsory?

I keep making changes as some things are not translating well written down

I have two lengthy posts created (preview and first show). Gonna give it a few hours tonight and will have a good chunk of my three show written.

Doing all my work on my work laptop so gonna wait until I can use my personal PC (my missus has it) to search and load up graphics n stuff. Might get a chance this weekend.

Haven’t read anything yet unfortunately.

I'll have my first show up at the weekend.

I've read some of the stuff posted so far, I'll try and re-read and provide proper feedback soon, but two things I remember well:

Necro PPV:

Loved the Iron Man match

Beaker first show:

Rey v Almas. Take my money

First show up. I'm drained after writing that, then I look at it and there's not a heap of content. I'll be shattered by the time I've my PPV done

Hopefully what I wanted to achieve comes across. I struggle to get the ideas from my head into words that do the ideas justice.

You Da Man ABMG that has been (and any sebsequent ones will be) copied and edited into the OP of this thread as often people complain about wading through a slow to load gif/img filled thread to find their next show to read.

Just finished up reading through Kolido's shows.

First off, well done on getting the 4 shows up, they are well written, easy to follow and your graphics are quality. I thought you did a nice job of using trades to put together a roster that works.

You've thrown up a lot to digest in one go, so I'll need to re-read again, but here are some brief initial thoughts:

Chuck Norris winding up as Champion shouldn't work, and I hate the idea in theory, but it actually worked really well given how cocky and entitled the NWO had been.

Scott Hall versus Edge in a ladder match? That's a dream match for me. I'd rather Edge won, but that's just because I'm a huge Edge mark.

Great work overall, a really enjoyable read. I'd be intrigued to see where things went next

Gonna try get going with my shows tonight while watching Fast Lane! Attempted to get going last wk during the snow, but then the boss called me into work and I ended up working like 15 days in a row!!!

After drafting some top names, I'm determined not to waste them!

How's everyone getting along? I've my second show almost finished, just working on images & embellishing it while I'm typing it into a boards post. Pretty sure I'll have it up today or tomorrow.
