I knew this week (well 2 weeks really) was going to be tough in the RP'ing dept. I knew I was going to have to put forth the best RP's I have ever written. I'm not the best Rp'er out there, But I'm not the worst one either. I'm decent of a Rp'er. I can step up "my Game" when the I have to but after the 2 RP's that Xplode posted.....I just can't bring myself to the task to try and defend my character's where abouts or even write a responce to everything that had been written in X's 2 rp's was just in X's mind, X is full of shit, or the classic "I don't know what you are talking about? Murder? Arson? What?" I can't just ignore it. It would look funny I think if I just didn't adress it at all. Rp'ing 101. You can inneract with your "opponent" by discussing and or responding to what they say and or do in their RP's. I could be completely wrong on this, but in mind I have to at least talk about what "went down" in X's RP's. If I choose to not even acknowledge any or sum of it in my 3rd and final RP it would just be silly and people would be like, "I can't belive he just blew off what X did in his RP's" because that would be my responce. In fact it would sound something like this: "What a fucking retard! He didn't even acknowledge any of the shit Xplode wrote all fucking week! Fucking dumbass! X wrote it!!! You have to say SOMETHING about it!" And if I held a vote in who wins, who loses, I know who I wouldn't vote for, Mr. "That didn't happen." Bullshit.
In the, I'm going to say 16 years that I have been Efedding and it could even be longer than that, I have never seen someone in any of the countless feds I have been in, seen one player take it upon himself to "create" a peice of another player's characters "background". Especially with out running it past the handler of that character first.
When I posted my first RP it was Hey look, I beat Troy Vincent, Yay me. Reaction to the win, Nanook's reaction to being fired, back to Vermont and a little shit talk. And then I waited. and waited. FINALLY Xplode posted his RP and now I can start working my RP. SO, yeah, the head scratching began as I read, Xplodes travels to Germany....to Berlin.....finds a guy who says he knew of a boy named Joe who grew up to be Joe Jones. "Okay? This is different" I think to myself. Guy takes X to a house, house where Joe grew up. "Okay?" I've have never did a RP at any time during Joe's "career" where he talks about a house he called home when he was a kid.
In fact the whole "Hometown : East Berlin, Germany" came about when I was kinda done with RP'ing Green Man and I came up with Double J, who was his son...now how do I explain that? Because I have been playing Green Man for a while now (back in the day) and I never once mentioned he had any kids at all. OH I know I say to myself. Greenie used to have matches in Germany when the wall was still up because it was a well known fact to everyone in the fed that Greenie was well traveled prior to coming to this fed. Greenie was a older charatcer and he was a road warrior in his younger days so one night after a show in the Eastern block he had a night of passion and BOOM he ended up being a Daddy (of twins no less) but he wouldn't know it till little Joey was almost 6, you know when Greenie was once again doing a show in the Eastern Block on one of his tours. That is when he would learn he was a father. Double J was born. I went on to play on the fact that now at this point in his career his 18 year old son didn't know who his Dad was because Green Man was always on the road going to the next show, getting ready for his next match. The fact that he was born in East Berlin was, a mere after thought. It never came up again other than to explain why he didn't grow up knowing his dad.
So you can imagine my surprise that now there is a house, a old guy who knew him, family photo's and what not in the house. Whoah! Where is X going with this? "Hidden family secret?" When? What is it? I would like to know myself you know. Then X burns down the house! Well WTF! Do I even.....man. I dunno. Well I guess I can play along...I don't know? I don't even know what is going on. So I come up with a cousin who calls out of the blue.....Joe doesn't know nothing about a house that burned down. Hell I put in my RP that Franz was talking to the media telling all kinds of stories. I did have the thought of PM'ing X and asking "What in the blue blazes are you doing?" but to me that was pretty much asking him "Dude, what's going to be in your next RP? I've got to know so I can post before you post saying none of that shit happened." I just couldn't bring myself to that but in hindesight I wish I did now!
I ended up posting what I thought did a job of Acknowledging what X wrote, playing it off like Joe was surprised the place he grew up was still standing, that he had no clue was Franz was and that he could care less that X flew to Germany and burned down a house. Whatever, I just want to win the match. Then I threw out there that maybe the deep dark family sceret could be Grand Daddy served in the SS but hey, he was charged, brought to justice for his crimes and is no longer with us. In truth though I didn't want to add that in there but what else could the family secert could be? It's my character I should know right? Besides it wasn't that far fetched to come up with that. Family on Joe's mother side lived in Germany, in Berlin. Grand Dad would be of age to be old enough to serve in the army....it's not like he would have served in the US Army, he wasn't American. Where else would be serve? Man 12 years later my idea of Hometown: East Berlin is not a great idea now. I got thinking maybe this is where X was going to go so I thought if I just admitted that it would take some of his thunder. That way I could just focus on the match and none of this house buring/Family sceret bullshit.
I posted what I posted and waited. and waited. I couldn't even think about what the fuck to write in my 3rd and final RP. I was pretty much at the mercy of Xplode. Appartently he was doing character development on my guy this week. So this morning when getting ready for work I check the boards and I see he posted his 2nd RP I was like, FINALLY! I will read this when I get out of work and start work on my RP in responce.........I thought about this all damn day. It was on my mind. What could be in that RP? I wonder what he wrote? Finally I came home, BAM straight to the UWL Boards, (Okay so I checked my email first...)
What? Franz is dead? Did he not read my RP? I had him TALKING to the media all week! If he's dead how can he talk to the media?
What? BURNED DOWN A WHOLE CITY BLOCK? ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTY ME? Geez Cousin Stephi was slightly off when she told Joe "your place you grew up in, it burned down." How could she fail to mention that, I don't know EVERYTHING around it also burned down to the ground. A bic lighter, sorry a book of matches, no accelerants at all and apparently every fire dept. in a 250 mile radious on vacation = one city block burnt to a crisp, and Franz is dead.
Whaoh! Hold on! What about the wad of cash X threw Franz? I'm not going to go back and double check the first RP but I swear Xplode tossed Franz some cash and told him to get something to eat. If the house is on fire why in the hell would Franz just stand there and let it burn down around him and kill him as well. X pretty much told him before he tossed the book of matches, to get lost. Ah I guess it didn't happen.
Then there is the whole man hunt, Media hounding Double J bit. I was going to have Kip in my RP.....does that count as being hounded? Framed for Arson, murder....man this is a first. I can honestly say I have never seen this happen in my days of efedding. I mean I had one of my characters locked up for attempted murder of his brother, but you know, I did that, but no one else I played with/against did that against me. Especially you know with out asking, "Hey dude I'm going to burn down a city block and kill a dude and blame it on you. Cool?"
Then the whole "Can't work out in my gym in Miami bit." Been hiding, thrown off my game because everyone is hunting me down at some gym I "like" to work out at, or no, it was he bought it or rented it so I couldn't enter the gym for the week.....I dunno, I'm confused. Anyways it's a MUTE point seeing that I don't know, Double J has been in fucking Vermont for the past 3 weeks. And he hasn't been in a gym in any of those week either. I always wonder if people read what I wrote, well I know Jayden doesn't.
So this week on paper or in theory Joe went from Chicago to Vermont, Finished putting together his dad's 68 fairlane, flew home to Berlin to visit a house and a old man he didn't know anything about, Killed the old guy, burned down a city block, couldn't work out in Miami because as we all know from Google Maps, that is right around the corner from Berlin, Vermont and is in hiding from the media and the police because he is wanted on arson and murder charges.......
Yeah I'll be able to dispell all of this in my final RP. And it will make sense too! And I'll win my match on top of that! Because I am just that damn good! How? Simple. Xplode's flight back from Germany blew up and everyone on board was killed, including Xplode. Guess he lived up to his name after all and Exploded. The only responce I have is really? I can't respond. It's so over the top, unbelieveable, and again I'm at the mercy of what's in Xplode's next RP because what ever I write in mine doesn't mean anything that.....I don't know guess I'm waving the white flag after all. Let me go get your boots X.
I was having fun in the UWL, till now. I didn't even care that I lost to Caleb Hart 3 times, it was still fun. Lost to Troy Vincent, don't care, still fun. Having Nanook try and beat CoCheese in a strip club for the Hertigae title only to have a fat chick lick whip cream off of him, still fun. Had only 2 wins, got 2 title shots, lost both of them......yup still fun.
"Blamed" for Arson, Murder....not fun.
Pretending that none of that happened....yeah still not fun.
I found my boots. I'll see some of you guys around.
Later.
