Promo wars - the next level.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Okay. If you've been under a rock, you may not have noticed the heap of promos exploding onto the board over the last week.

 

A ton of people have been getting into it...but how about even more?

 

An idea I had: we've got one week to the PPV. How about, before then, EVERYONE in the WF posts at least *one* board promo?

 

It doesn't have to be anything huge. A little bit of hype for your PPV match, a bit of character development...whatever you want!

 

Obviously you don't have to, but it'd be really cool if everyone could do it, because this place is always more exciting with promos. So hop to it!

I lost trak, I know the JL has a PPV about every four months but when is the next JL PPV?

[Guest Ironman]

Styfle thyself, Cuttroat. The big boys are talking..

 

*sweeps CT under the carpet*

 

Edwin, you know that would be cool yeah but it would be a big clutter. They'd do better by getting together with whomever they have a storyline with and doing group/joint promos.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

There's a thought, Ironman.

 

Team or loner approach, I'd like to see everyone try to pull something together if they've got the time. It'd just be neat.

[Guest -Cutthroat-]

I would say something if I didn't want to sound like Spike...

[Guest Ironman]

Good boy, Cutthroat.

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

Edwin, you can't force the children to promo!

 

It would be splendid if they did, and everybody got feedback from everybody. I know that the group that usually responds to everybody's, that being myself, JD, Edwin, Raynor, Mak and a couple others would have an absolute field day, but hopefully everyone else would give their opinions and constructive criticisms as well.

 

But everyone should promo. Promo near. Promo far. Read my promo. Don't read Outcast's. You know, just little things.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

...you've got enough replies now, Wilson.

 

People need to go read mine.

[Guest Kibagami]

My replies rule it over all of you.

 

I would so have this promo war in the bag if I could just post to my little heart's content and not worry about SLOW BURN~!

 

You're all lucky I'm holdin' back...

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

Pffft...the Edwin/Silent promos are lowest on the totem pole. 1) They're really not related to the league, at least not yet, and 2) They're too vague, and they confuse people.

 

Mine, however, contain both flashy pyro, Andrew W.K. lyrics and concentrated evil ranting. Yessir, I rock the whole freaking house.

 

And Mr. Big Bad Silent Replier, you haven't replied to my latest! Go!

 

PromoWars so rule. What? I have a match to write? Daaaaamn....

[Guest Kibagami]

What, and aid you in your quest to overtake Outcast? I think not~!

 

Besides, my promos and Edwin's have BUILD, they have BACKGROUND, they have DEPTH. Philistine.

 

We're still ahead.

 

S.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

Eww... double post.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

My promos have more background and depth than yours, Silent.

 

Tyler's background is already BEYOND established.

[Guest Kibagami]

Silent's background goes back much, much farther than is immediately apparent. Just keep reading...~!

 

S.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

than is immediately apparent.

Just because it's in your head doesn't mean your promos have better background... especially since nobody knows it!

 

TYLER'S PROMOS ARE IN DA LEEEEED!

[Guest Kibagami]

You know what? I tried to be nice. I tried to be fair. But you just had to push it, didn't you? All right, just remember. You brought this on yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.::steps on the Lawn and no-sells Outcast's promos::.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Ah, but you see Outcast, there's the thing. You've got a year and a half of background that people are familiar with. We're giving you the background as we go along, because we haven't shared it before.

 

When you're working from scratch, you've got to keep the past and the present squared, as both are important...and that's what gets you and everyone else reading to the future.

 

Also, I presently have 3000 words of match down, which I guarantee is more than Sr. Wilson. To quote JD: BONG!

[Guest Beingz0wningj00]

I have a promo. I be special.

 

 

I be kicking ass in this war. BONG.

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

No, I think I'm most definitely winning.

 

Outcast, yours is one promo with spaces! And fancy titles! And a theme! SCREW YOU!

 

Silent/Edwin, I could make up my own background, too! Like, did you know about me, Mak and CIA serving in the Canadian Special forces before they realized me and Mak weren't Canadian right in the middle of a special ops mission? All the while we all courted the exact same girl, who ended up being a double agent. No, you didn't. But we could write an enchanting series of promos about it. And they would OWN YOURS!!!!!

 

Honestly, if Z can bust out another one anything like his first, then he's going to be kicking our arses hardcore. Too bad Z's never been choked with piano wire...

 

At the end of the week, we'll have a poll "WHO WON PROMOWARS?!" to see just how much I dominated you. Bastards. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Guest Kibagami]

Ah, but our fictuitious background(s) do not involve any Canadians whatsoever, making ours vastly superior to yours! So, BONG, or whatever.

 

.::no-sells piano wire::.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

...I can't think of any more insults, so...

 

YOU GUYS SUCK! I RULE!! WOOO!

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

::throws a flaming bag of poop on Outcast's doorstep::

 

Neener neener neener! Yeah! Woo!

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

Screw you all!

 

Does any JLer want to create a terribly dramatic and over complicated story with me, which we can reveal in numbered promos over a period of time, urging people to stay with us, even though it matters not to the WF? Or perhaps create a large group of women characters, perhaps a sorority, then kill them off one by one in a series of promos named after, say, Tom Hanks movies or maybe Weezer songs?

 

B) Anyone? Anyone?

 

Okay, it's voo-doo economics. And do I have any takers?

*meekly raises hand*

 

Will it exempt me from piano-wire stranglings in the unlikely event I'm bumped?

[Guest Rabbi_wilson13]

Quite possibly, MVS, quite possibly. You wanna write about feud during the...umm...hey day of American Gladiators?

 

Speaking of piano wire, I still gotta write my promo with Z. Muhahahahaha! Poor kid didn't realize when you join the Carnival, there's a "Wilson can write mean promos with you" clause. Of course, thats immediately followed by the "You can write mean promos with Wilson in" clause, so its all good.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

You asked for it, Wilson.

 

I'm going to pay Outcast to hire you 8 beautiful girlfriends...and then have them all die in a slasher film called "Island in the Death."

[Guest redbaron51]

what would i get if i do a promo...

[Guest -Cutthroat-]

A cookie...
