I don't do an IC Twitter because I just don't really find it worth the effort of keeping it updated. Other people get more out of it, and that's fine. It just doesn't appeal to me. I even wrote an angle on the news forum where Purity is ICly banned from Twitter for life, just as a cop-out.

The "Kyle Travis refuses to get Twitter" comment was a reference to how I think the only times I've seen him speak OOC in months have been to explain his use of the shoutbox as IC, since he doesn't want to get an IC Twitter.

A whole sex scene on Twitter is just weird. But I like it for it's ability to build your character without wasting valuable RP space. I'm not saying it's always the case, but putting a whole date into a RP, unless it's a character building RP is going to really detract from its relevance to an upcoming match. At that point you're building a character, but taking away from the end goal. I do realize that's not always the case though.

Yeah, I'm not against Twitter at all. But as we saw with me sandbagging the fuck out of both my matches this week, sometimes I don't even have time to do a proper RP, let alone come up with material for #PuriTweets. So it's just not something I'm into.

People who can rock Twitter, though, go for it.

Alright, after talking to a lot of people, I'm going to do my best to give some input on this stuff.

Titles:
We all understand that when staff members hold titles we can't help but wonder if something hinky went down. However the general consensus has been that the staff members who currently have these titles deserve them. So I think we all need to take a step back when we have those feelings of doubt and remember that yes they've won those belts fair and square. Now it's already been talked about how Romeo and Dan are loyal members first whose staff positions in no way influence their bearing in title competition.

And we know that Nightmare has already had 3 defenses. But here's some other stuff of note.

Romeo is the rper of the year. We all know that. We all voted for that. I haven't seen the votes but I'm sure he's also likely face and wrestler of the year. Are you going to tell me the person who wins those awards doesn't deserve to be World Champ? Because that's ridiculous. And none of those awards are handed out by staff. They're all voted on by you.

Furthermore,
We just had the Challenger Series which featured not just the Six Pack Challenge, but an elimination tag match for the NA and tv titles. That's 13 people with title shots at the top three individual titles, not counting the No Limits championship which I'll talk about in a bit. Where else do thirteen people get title shots in one night?

And it's not just the Challenger Series. Just two weeks later was Secret Santa which featured a tournament that was open to anyone who was willing to rp during the holiday season and was for a shot at the NA title. Last year the prize was number one contendership to the World title.

Before CS we had the Fear Itself tournament with plenty of people getting a shot at becoming number one contender. And then of course there's the London Brawl which features, oh yeah, 30 people. And there's the Key to Excellence match which features eight to thirteen people every year competing for a shot at the NA title, whenever they want it.

Do you know another fed out there that runs two yearly tournaments, a six pack challenge, a 30 man royal rumble, and a math like the Key to Excellence? No fed gives as many title opportunities as New Era.

And that's not counting the Endurance Challenge another multiman match for the TV title or the numerous individual or even multi person title defense that have happened throughout the year many of which occur on free tv. How often do you see titles defended on non-ppv shows? You don't even get it very often in WWE.

And I didn't even mention the time Cam had to defend the World title against LITERALLY the ENTIRE roster.

My point is you are never going to find a place that gives you as much opportunity at gold as New Era because even without counting everything I've said above, which didn't even include numerous individual contender matches or everything that happens in the tag team division, because New Era also has the No Limits title which brings me to...

The No Limits Title:

Everyone can challenge for the No Limits title. EVERYONE. Any of you reading this right now can challenge for the No Limits title.

Purity was well within her right to challenge for the No Limit title. Jynx should be prepared to defend against anyone at any time.

Now I understand why people are upset. The perceive something might be happening that shouldn't be happening. But just like the titles thing this is another case where perception does not equal reality. No one looked at Purity and said yeah go take the belt off Jynx cause fuck her.

And no one is saying Jynx wouldn't win the match. Rps were still being judged it was never a give in. And let's assume she does lose the title to Purity? How is that bad?

Jynx would be screwed out of the title after a surprise defense where she undoubtedly puts up a great effort end nearly wins several times until Puritybuses underhanded tactics to win. That's not only a great rub for Jynx as a wrestler in New Era coming close to almost beating someone like Purity. It's an amazing way to get her over as a face which is part of what Purity wanted to do. Jynx gets elevated. Title gets elevated. Jynx can win the title back again or move on to another title like the tv title. Either way Jynx gets elevated even more.

In fact the only one I've ever heard speak negatively of Jynx is Jesse who told me flat out that she doesn't stand a chance at beating Purity Solonas which is flat out bullshit. Is Purity though to beat? Yes. But if someone's not there to challenge you, how are you ever going to get better?

I've lost five straight individual matches against Romeo Stylez. I don't complain that I've been screwed over. Do I get mad over every one of those loses? You bet. But I never tell myself I have no chance against him. I cherish every opportunity to face Chris because I know he's going to push me to be my best.

Now if people want to change the rules about who can challenge for the No Limits Championship that's fine. That's something we can talk about, but, quite frankly no one should be expecting long title reigns with the No Limits Championship. And when you lose the belt it's time to start looking at something like the tv title.

Now I'd like to take some more time to talk about...

Purity:

Purity is not a staff member. She is a member just like most of us who happens to work very hard not just as an excellent rper but as a wonderful match writer. Somehow people have gotten it in their heads that she's gotten some sort of favoritism. Let's explore that.

How many World titles has Purity won? Zero.

What title is Puritu currently holding? None.

Purity won the Secret Santa tournament. Did she win the NA title? Nope.

Did Purity win the six pack? Nope. She came in third.

She did not win the Fear Itself tournament.

After winning the London Brawl she did not go on to win the World title at Vindication.

Purity did win the NA title, fair and square, and after multiple defense she lost that title fair and square. Before that she did NOT beat Stone and Romeo for the tv title.

Purity loses A LOT. she loses SO MUCH that her ability to lose is my favorite thing to talk about in my rps.

And does she complain? No. She won the Secret Santa tournament only to immediately lose to nightmare and have that whole effort mean nothing. She could have complained about being buried, but she didn't.

Instead she keeps working hard for EVERYONE. Purity wrote the elimination tag match at CS which is in my opinion the match of the year because she made everyone in that match look fucking brilliant. She put a ton of effort into weaving stories throughout that match and making sure everyone looked great and had plenty to write about afterward.

Purity has never once no sold an opponent. She goes out of her way to put people over and make them look good. That's what she ultimately would have done with Jynx.

She does all this work and never asks for a goddamn thing. And the fact that she somehow gets grief for it is disgusting. And instead of complaining about her people seriously owe her an apology.

The same goes for Romeo who bends over backwards to make you people happy and put you guys over and without him there would be no New Era.

Now let's talk about someone who has done nowhere near as much work as Purity or Romeo but still has somehow become something of a martyr here.

Kyle Travis:
Kyle Travis has had all the same opportunities as Purity Solonas if not more.

Kyle Travis was in the Secret Santa Tournament. Kyle Travis was in the Six Pack Challege. He was in the Fear Itself tournament and the London Brawl. He has had NUMEROUS Tv and North American title shots. He was in the Key to Excellence match. In all but one match in his New Era career he was booked very strongly even in defeat.

Kyle Travis has proved on multiple occasions that he does not read peoples rps or even matches and segments that do not feature him. He goes out of his way to no sell everything that isn't his own stuff. And despite people trying to help him he has been unopen to any sort of critique and still spends the majority of his rps talking about what he did in other companies.

He has never once taken part in a conversation the the ooc board or played mafia with us. He uses the shout box as an ic thing which is confusing and annoying to everyone else. And if he's playing some sort of super meta game whatever, but if he's going to play Hamlet and act like he's delusional and a complete asshole all the time he has to be able drop people a note that says just kidding guys I'm just Daniel Day Lewising things for a bit.

Still despite being an unapologetic asshole he's still gotten more championship opportunities then many other people here. And people want to stand up for him why? Cause he gets ragged on?

I got called a bitch by everyone in this company for a year and a half, that includes Kyle Travis. Did anyone stand up for me? Did I allow it to get to me? I ragged right back because that's how we are. We fucking rag on each other. And if people thought things were gettig out of hand they could have said something. Kyle could have said something.

Any of you could have said something. If you really thought the bullying was bad why not step up before this? It's like I tell my students if you're not going to standup and say something, if you're just going to be a bystander you are just as bad as the bully.

Was the balls in his mouth thing too far? Yes. But that was a rectifiable mistake. And quite frankly he deserved embarrassment for his lack of research and selling.

By the way. Did Kyle Travis tell you what he was going to get to do before he decided to quit? He was going to. Get to hit Romeo with a car and steal the World title for a bit. Despite not being a contender Romeo was going to put him over something huge and then he was going to tag with the number one contender against me and Romeo. That's the kind of huge rub he was going to get. And I bet with Noghtmare defending every show another NA title shot wasn't too far off either.

No one should feel bad for him.

Here's to something to get upset about.

Flight of the Kiwi:

This was fucking stupid and disgusting. I don't care that Selena agreed to the initial concept. She should have been sent that rp for approval and that segment for approval and then when she found it offensive it should never have gone up. Selena has every right to be upset.

However, it was a terrible mistake. Anson meant no malice, and the mistake has been rectified as best as possible. All that can be done right now is apologize, which Anson has done numerous times, and try to move on. Obviously Selena is upset and she needs time to process her feelings without feeling attacked by people for having them.

Finally...

Staff Communication:
The staff if there for you, guys. None of this would have happened of people talked to them more. They can't fix problems they don't know exist.

With that said if people have problems and for whatever reason don't feel comfortable going right to staff, I have volunteered to act as a go between and talk to them on your behalf. I can even keep thing totally confidential of you wish. You can either PM me here or catch me on AIM which is the best option. My AIM is BSandQueen4Ever.

Thank you

About Staff holding/contending for titles:

it sucks that every fed goes through this at some point but here, if you look at it, Mina and i wouldn't have held the tag titles for SUCH a long time (almost record breaking) if staff "was only pushing themselves."

Our title defenses were against Sin. Inc mostly at the beginning, the the Wrecking Crew, who beat us and we beat them. If staff were pushing themselves we wouldn't have successfully defended the titles like we did.

BUT i have to say staff..doing an awesome job. When I PMed Chris and Cam about me not rping anymore due to school they said that's cool good luck with school thanks for telling us. They even asked how i wanted to be taken out, as did Ryan. They could have done anything to write me out and, to be honest i'm not that picky, as i told Ryan. But at least they asked. They could have fucked me over with that..they didn't.

About the bullying culture:

The ONLY TIME i see it is in the mafia games. I know it's a game and it's normal for us to do that BUT that one game where some brought in Jay's wife..that was stepping over the line for me. Yes we know Jay's bad but bringing his wife into it wasn't ok in my opinion. Making fun of him because he sucks that's ok, Stone for hammering his own bomb, ok, my overall game play (i have my moments of ok play lol) fine but getting that personal..no.

Hell what's going on right now fine, because it's not getting personal.
