A Few Thoughts

[Mistah Showtime]

So, ever since before I even created OWN, I have been contemplating an idea. I also got another thanks to Sylas and a thread he created as well as from a thread created by DJ. I am going to give a few ideas and open them up to discussion for opinions on them.

First off, the idea I have had for a while. I love the fact that so many have joined and already submitted CAWs to OWN. BUT, I know that the current ones aren't the only ones members would like to see in action. SO, I've been thinking. I want to eliminate the 2 CAW rule and allow everyone to submit as many of their own CAWs as they would like. For those who can send saves, they can send them all at once if they would like. For those who can only do formulas, you can submit 1 at a time to me. When I have that 1 done, I will PM you and let you know you can send another one. Also, if anyone who can do saves would like to help out doing this, let me know.

This is definitely something I would like to do. It will be quite a lot of work for Skull and myself for a while I think. But, it will allow many of those dream matches we all have to come true, which is one of the big things I think attracts people to OWN myself. So, give your opinion on whether you think this would be good for OWN or if you like the current 2 CAW limit for everyone. Also, mostly for those who can't do saves, do you think this is fair to you or does it matter to you at all?

Next, this is a combination of Sylas's thread about the 1 memory card of CAWs and DJ's recruiting thread. I want to create a thread with a COMPLETE list of who everyone would like to see here in OWN competing. No limit to how many people you can list or gender restrictions. List every single CAW you would like to see here in OWN. They don't have to be from feds or CAWs.ws. As this list grows, we can show it to the owners of the CAWs in it in an attempt to recruit them and their CAWs to OWN. I know there are quite a few members who have joined and not submitted CAWs as well that I myself would love to see in the ring here. *hint* *hint* It's their choice of course. I won't hold anything against them if they choose not to submit anyone. Lurkers are more than welcome here.

Give me opinions/ideas on what you think of this.

Last thing, using other wrestling games. I won't be running these matches. I have enough to do already using 09 with OWN. BUT! If anybody would like to use past SVR games, a next-gen version of the SvR games, Fire Pro, TNA Impact, or Legends of Wrestlemania to run leagues here on OWN, I would be more than willing to let them use the File Front OWN account to post them to add to things here. I won't be running any of these leagues, but anyone is more than welcome to if their willing to do so. Just like with Skull and myself, it's when your able to sim and post.

Again, opinions and ideas on this. If anyone would like to do it, let me know.

Well, that's what I got for now. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to expand upon any of these, feel free to share. Let me know what you think about these, as everything here is simply to help improve OWN. I would like as many opinions on these as possible. I ask that everyone please give some feedback, as everything that goes on here depends heavily on your opinions. I don't consider OWN to be mine, but OURS. I am simply it's keeper. Let your voices be heard!

[Mistah Showtime]

And a little something I forgot to add to the first post. If all goes well, which I do hope they do, I have one more thing I would like to propose. Those who submit CAWs for use here at OWN do trust me with them I hope. So, should everyone be willing, I would like to add an "Anytime. Anyplace. Anymatch." incentive here at OWN. That means, on top of all of the requested matches, there will be random matches involving random CAWs at any time that I feel frisky enough to sim and post them. It could be anything from a normal 1 on 1 singles match to an elimination chamber match. There may even be some hacked matches involved once I look further into them. This is just like all the other ideas posted beforehand of course. It is open to any and all opinions. Please give me feedback. Thanks!

[spyder78]

That would be sweet man, the two caws besides Spyder I submitted Shiggles & Vinzenz are up for those random matches as I wanted to do a Dru Nedermeyer v Vinzenz match for a while now XD

I still have SVR 08' and a few guys from last year on it.. I can do saves on it as well and if anyone has caws on saves I got one extra card for 30 more!.. so I can do up to 60 caws on my end and my new cap card is coming soon got that handled this morning XD

[j]

It is a good idea providing you have the time to do it as you might get an explosion of everyone wanting extras in. You probably knew that already lol but I felt best to say it lol might help bring in more females though.

[J-PyRo]

*wonders why everybody insanely keeps throwing more work on top of themselves* >_>

Although, I would try to figure out a non-DLC moveset for Clairebear if that were the opportunity...

[*†*Oz70NYC*†*]

All I need is basic pics and movesets for anyone's caw, and I can pretty much recreate them to about 85% accuracy on Fire Pro Returns. I converted damn near 40% of the XWA Roster to FPR in 2008 (Cuz I was bored mainly) and I've been looking for a decent challenge. So if you'd like to see your character in GLORIOUS 2D (lol) shoot me a pm is PICS of the character and their moveset, so I can piece together something similar to it. I don't need formulas, I just need to know what the caw looks like. I'll of course feature all Edits (That's what we call them in the FPR world, Edits...not CAWs) in future matches, as well as offer up shots of finished works. (Some people's caws, like Punchy's, Hungrywolf80's and Sylas I already converted last year, so I've got you guys covered already) I've got no problem being the Fire Pro liaison of OWN.

[$~L~$]

I love it all... including getting some fresh new blood in here.

How should we go about this whole "favorite CAWs list" though? In a new thread? Continue in an existing thread I probably overlooked?

Anywho, let's get these CAW diplomatic relations started! ;D

[White Leather Jacket]

Hmm *Thinks of bringing Kross in.* o.o;

I know. It will be a lot more work, especially if there is a huge rush of people coming in with formulas. But, I also know that this is what everyone really wants here at OWN, including myself. The chance to see anybody and everybody in the ring that we know from everywhere past and present. Not doing updates makes it a bit easier though. I have a feeling this year could be the last year that SvR is on the PS2 as well. With saves making things easier as well as the ability to hack, this could very well be the last opportunity any of us have to see this. The next game will more than likely come out in mid-November, which is 7 months away. The next game could even be the last in the SvR series should WWE choose not to renew it's contract with THQ! So, to me, it's now or never for this to happen. Which is why I am willing to do the extra work.

You already have Spyder, feel free to add him to FPR roster if you like ;D

[DialM4Murda]

Hmmm... >.> Would be interested in perhaps dropping Remmy and 187 into the mix since I know some people out want a piece of them. XD lol

[spyder78]

Please do feel free to send me saves or forms of your guys from SVR 08', You'd like to see in. These are the current caws I have from last year still on my card...

Memory Card #2

30 Empty Slots

Get to sending peeps.. Via PM's is a fine method XD

PS: To Showtime, not sure if you want to but I think it would be a good idea to add say a SVR 08' & FPR sub-forums to the Watch A Match section, so that way it does not interfer with the SVR 09' matches you & Skull are doing

[Chickothrottle]

Would love to drop in some extras in here lol. All up to you man...

[Mistah Showtime]

So far, most of the feedback has been positive. But, most of the feedback has been on adding more CAWs for people who already have ones that are competing. I'm glad I'm getting the feedback, make no mistake about that. I do want feedback on the other 3 ideas as well though. Spyder has already offered to run an 08 league on PS2 and Kaoz offered to do and FPR league. Is anybody interested in PARTICIPATING in these leagues though? I don't want them to go through all the trouble of making these and then nobody compete in them or pay them much attention. I would like to get more feedback on all of the ideas from as many members as possible before taking any actions implementing them.

[DialM4Murda]

I can't participate in them. >.> I sold all my older Smackdowns, and my hard drives was wiped clean, so I have nothing but 09 right now. Might think about the FPR one though. Don't know.

[The Super Villains]

I got a few FPR edits, but they're a bitch to type.. plus, I made them to BE unstoppable edits.. and the AI exploits that the way I made them.

As for other smackdown games, the only ones I'm missing are SYM, and the first Smackdown vs Raw.

I'd love to see 08 Future Shock get some publicity... and if I can be assed, would type up Shoque for 09 to get some tag action going that way too. I got PS2 Starr typed.. he's on a save of Spyders too.

I don't know if there is any other caw of mine anyone would wanna face in 08/09.. I'd type them up though.

[spyder78]

TSK TSK to D4M... Guess he's out XD

Prodigy, Yup still got all 4 of your guys you sent me on 08' Starr,Shoque,Karnage, Decat..lol

Yeah peeps like Mr. Showtime said, please do give some feedback about the SVR 08' & FPR leagues, mainly who's in to be honest. This will give you more fights to watch of your guys, don't be shy now,lol

[spyder78]

Guess no one wants to see an 08' version of OWN then.. Damn I tried XD

[j]

I guess it depends as some might not have the game any more and depending on how badly they get the cleaning bug they might not have saves or formula's lying around. I know for me I cleaned my saves out for 08 so

[spyder78]

True but I am holding onto the flickering flame of hope XD

[Mistah Showtime]

Perhaps this is not the thread to be asking in? Create a new one in the Discussion Board if you wish to run an 08 league here. It keeps the conversation about it in one place and it keeps this thread open to discussion for all of the ideas in it instead of keeping the discussion to just one.

[spyder78]

Touche' point taken XD

[Mistah Showtime]

Got a thread going in the Discussion Board for THE LIST! As of RIGHT NOW I am abolishing the 2 CAW rule. Those who can do saves, send in as many CAWs as you like. Those who can't do saves or just don't have a PS2 one for 09, you can send 1 at a time. Once that 1 is made, I will PM you to let you know so you can send in another.

EVERYONE be sure to remember to send in CAF formulas and entrance music for your CAWs whether your sending me a save or a formula of them. I have to create your CAF on my save for your CAW to use it and I gotta have your entrance music to put in your entrance when editing. MAKE SURE YOU SEND THOSE TO ME.



NOW, for a few more thoughts, or recruiting spills if you would.

I want to establish 3 "teams" for OWN.

A Graphics Team who will do the graphics for OWN since I suck completely at it. I don't have time to learn how to make Photoshop my personal playground like some of you have already done. So, if I could get 2-3 people to volunteer to make graphics for OWN, that would be outstanding!

Next, a Highlight Vids Team. I would love to do this myself, but again, I simply don't have time. SO, anyone interested in creating highlight vids for OWN would be much appreciated. I'm looking for 2-3 people to do this as well.

Last, but certainly not least, a CAW Creation Team. With the 2 CAW rule gone, I'm expecting a lot more formulas to start coming in. If I could get 2-3 people who would help create CAWs, more people could get into matches faster. You MUST be able to do saves to be on this team. All I need is people who will do the morphing/attires. Entrances, Movesets, and CAFs I can take care of. 32 layer CAWs with complicated designs can be quite time consuming. Help in this area would be much appreciated. And if you feel froggy? Feel free to create the whole CAW. I still gotta create the CAFs though, so don't waste your time with those.

All of these teams are VOLUNTARY. I'm not gonna force anyone into any of these. BUT, if you do volunteer, know that it is going to be a big commitment. If I ask something of you, it means I am placing my trust in you to do it within a certain time frame. If you want to be on one of these teams and know you got the time to commit to them, please PM me. If you want to do it, but know you don't have the time? Please don't volunteer. It saves us both some future hassle.

That's all I got for now!

[spyder78]

Damn if i was on PS2 for 09' I would do the Caw creating, I still hod a nice record of creating 180 caws in 2 days on 07' with the multi profiles for another site I was on, XD

I suck at graphics and highlights too.. Damn I feel worthless now,lol
