Update thread - 9/12/2011

[OrochiGeese]

Thanks to Moto for Visper's RP. For a guy without a computer and barely any internet access, any RP is a pretty big effort And it's always a big deal to hear from THE CHAMP

So last week I had an idea for an intro hype video for Illumination and got that. I'll release it within a week of when I plan to post the show. I still need to write the show though. Last week's lack of writing productivity (besides RP's) was a good thing in a way though as I actually got back into FPR a bit and did some edit work. But I still need to write Illumination and finish that up. It will be done by July

[OrochiGeese]

99% done with Illumination!!!!!

It actually didn't take as long as I thought it was. Write-up was pretty easy (which I was hoping for). I'm just gonna want to give it a re-read in a day or so to make sure everything looks good.

If I do get it done by next week, I'll post it mid week. If not I'll post the UBL Circuit Show then and Illumination the following week. So definitely expect it in the next two weeks

[OrochiGeese]

Illumination isssss DONE!

Woo! I had fun writing the ending too, I think it's pretty poignant.

I will be posting this show next week though cause there's still some story hyping left to be done ;D

But expect it like next Tuesday/Wednesday

[OrochiGeese]

DragonKin with two EXCELLENT pre-show RP's.

Two #1 contenders to their respective titles are certainly pumped for their matches

The whole show has come together really nicely over the last month. I'm excited to post it

[OrochiGeese]

Everything is still on schedule for Illumination to be posted this coming week around Tuesday-Thursday

Afterwards it will be time to draw up another pre-PPV cycle show schedule and unlike last time after the PPV, I hope to get a lot of this done in the next two weeks. I still kind of have no idea what I'm doing with Voltage format but personally I really liked the simplicity of the recent UBL Circuit show presentation so I may do something similar. It will look a bit different then Amplitude but will still be easy to write and with no dual commentary. I really can't replace Clyde and Figaro anytime soon. The only other pair I feel comfortable writing for is the old LAWL commentary team and it's possible I do transfer them over here (as technically they actually were Orochi-O's employees, not LAWL). But if I do so, it will be next year.

I think I'll end up having an Amplitude done for mid-late August and Voltage for mid September. I have very exciting plans for the next OG-Joshi PPV and it's likely we won't have a 4 Voltage and 4 Amplitude cycle.

I also have a few words about the roster and I'm just stuck that in the old Amplitude/Voltage thread. I've been posting a LOT in this thread but I really want it to be mainly about shows and stuff rather then stuff meant for other threads (even old ones). But I really recommend checking that out as its pretty important for the future of OG-Joshi. Hopefully I'll have something new for this thread in the coming weeks about schedules and Amplitude process. But for now, the next stop is Illumination

[OrochiGeese]

Yea! Illumination is posted!!

Make sure you read it before you read any other posts on the board (to avoid spoilers). Also when you are done, you can go [url=http://ogjoshi.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=473&post=76[/url]check out the updated Champions/Title page[/url] to see the new Amplitude Title image (of course the new Amp Champ will be listed) and catch up with the lineages/status of each belt.

I also hope to get an updated edit pack out within the next month or two

In the meantime, enjoy the show and talk to me if you have any questions about what your wrestlers are scheduled to do. Also, any post-PPV feedback and RP's will be helpful and appreciated. But it's a big show, lots of matches, lots of long matches so uh, take your time. If PPV's come but once a year, might as well linger on them and soak them in. (no Sandy jokes plz, ok, only good ones). Enjoy

P.S. Devil post

[OrochiGeese]

Productive day! A bunch of RP's written and...

AND...

The upcoming schedule for Amplitude and Voltage is basically done! Woo! ;D

It's still subject to a few possible changes but I got the end points in place. Voltage is a bit more clear for a few story reasons but Amplitude is looking really good too. The first show of each brand was pretty easy to book. i think the big surprise this stretch will be what I do for the Tag team situation

Expect the Roster split sometime during the weekend. I don't wnat to overwhelm everyone with info right now but there is a lot going on since it's after the PPV. Thing is, I know i'm gpnna be a bit delayed in early-mid August so I'd rather leave some spare stuff for me to have ready during that time. I also think it's easier for you guys to RP after seeing the roster split and schedule rather then before it so I'll get the official stuff (roster, schedule) posted over the next week

[OrochiGeese]

Woo!

First off a HUGE thank you to Dragonkin for making us a show history document!

Every OG-Joshi show and match are covered!! I'll make sure to update it

This was a tremendous undertaking just based on the sheer number of shows as well as the fact it wasn't so easy to find all of the results. So we should all thank DK from the bottom of our craven hearts ;D


Also I'm currently working on Amplitude. It's gonna be finished tonight and posted next week

I may start on the Voltage write-up tonight too. All the video matches (4) are capped so really it's just the big angle I have planned that was built to at the end of Illumination

Got 3 Orochi-O's TV shows done too so really the next two months should run pretty smoothly here

[OrochiGeese]

Update: Tonight I started AND finished writing Voltage! Damn...can't remember the first or last time I wrote an Amplitude and a Voltage in one night. My wrists and eyes...they cry for salvation!


Voltage is gonna be an interesting show as the first half will be similar to Amplitude (still no commentators) but with videos and the second half will be mega promo time between Orochi Army and Clyde/Figaro/Celes.

Big stuff coming


Voltage will be posted in early September and then I'll have the Sept Amplitude for later that month

[OrochiGeese]

I actually haven't used this thread too recently, probably cause instead of talking about posting shows, i actually have been doing so!!! And that should hopefully continue the next few months ;D

There will be a Voltage posted next week and Amplitude in three weeks. But I want to discuss something else right now.

New edit pack structure/new pack coming soon:

Thanks to this new emu technology, i've been reorganizing my memory card in a way that's easier for me and ALSO easier to get packs out. I'm about 1/3 of the way through crafting my new base save and that base save will be used for public packs too. Meaning all I'll need to do to post a pack is basically export my main pack but also make a few changes to protect storyline surprises. So no more waiting (checks calender...gasps) an entire year again for a new pack from me.

The only downside is that the public pack won't be as organized on the edit transfer screen. With so much roster switching in UBL, its kinda hard to really "reserve" (no pun, seriously) big swarths of land in my edit pack for one specific roster. The Front Lines always grow rapidly, and there are switches between that and the Reserve and the Tag division. It's just too hard and pointless to really keep the structure like that for my personal pack. And its too time consuming to keep making a new public pack that is organized like that. So rather then having like slots 50-100 be for the Reserve Roster, i'm just gonna be using my "throw UBL edits into the general UBL section" of the card (which i now have more room for). I will have the "fed" structure in edit mode so you can check that out if you really want to know exactly where edits are supposed to go. (And you'll see I have a pretty decent organization for my feds now so that faces and heels can be in their own stables and get properly cheered/booed.) And my guess is that you'll just put the edits in whatever format you have for the UBL fed on your main packs. Not organized so much by where they are in the fed but your interest level in them.

Of course, I will still be giving a very detailed list for the packs so you should always know where each edit is just by following the list. I'll probably rework my old html site or just get rid of it completely since it took too long to update. As much as I liked the presentation, it just got too much of a burden to maintain exactly like that. I may keep the site though just in a simpler form.

Anyway, my guess is that I'll have the new pack ready within the next two weeks. I'll probably release it after the October Open show

[OrochiGeese]

Still working on creating that restructured edit pack for me and everyone. It's taking a little longer then I expected just because the process is so tedious. It's about 40% done done right now. All the UBL edits are on the new pack and properly structured in factions/groups that they belong. I just need to put in OG-Joshi and LAWL.

In more productive news, I got a LOT done tonight with finishing up match videos. I now have everything I need for the October Amplitude and the November Voltage. All that remains is just doing two match summaries as well as the overall show write-up which I don't think will take long at all. Each of the next shows, for both rosters, actually has five matches and will be more action intensive then angle intensive since we're leading right to Ragnarok with most of the main event #1 contender matches.

Amplitude should be posted by the end of this month. There are some great matches including the Jenna/Gutter main event which took a bit of time to get due to FPR not wanting the wrestler I chose to win. But just now I got an excellent match that I'm really happy with. One of those matches that is totally worth the wait and multiple resims. It can really really come through some times. There's some magic on the Amplitude roster recently with its singles main events. Eris/Lina, Eris/Jenna and now Jenna/Gutter.

After Amplitude I'll be posting HaLAWLoween, then a UBL-weighted O's TV (also finished), then the November Voltage before Thanksgiving. I now have a little under two months to get the videos (and do the write-up) for Ragnarok which should be enough time if FPR cooperates and I don't get too distracted by other games (really a packed year!). Still shooting for as close to December 13th as I can for Ragnarok as its also the 7 Year OG-FPD Anniversary

Even though it has so many matches, its still a split fed show. So I couldn't get every OG-Joshi feud on it that I wanted (same with UBL). The next OG-Joshi PPV will be an OG-Joshi only show though so feuds that didn't make it onto Ragnarok will likely be continued til the next PPV and every active handler should have at least one edit on that next show

[OrochiGeese]

I updated the Titles/Ring thread with higher quality pics of all titles and rings...and FINALLY included a picture of the Amplitude Championship

The November Voltage has been finished and ready for the last two weeks and I'm just waiting for proper timing. I was gonna post HaLAWLoween next week but I may just post Voltage instead as its more time sensitive and I want there to be enough space between Voltage and Ragnarok. So yeah, look for that soon. And Ragnarok still scheduled for mid December, hopefully as close to December 13th as possible

[OrochiGeese]

Along with a new O's TV, the schedule thread has been updated with the final Ragnarok card!

I'd also like to thank Scorp from FPC for providing us the incredible Ragnarok logo!

And make sure to catch the hype video for Night 1!


We're on schedule for Night 1 of Ragnarok happening next week (and hopefully posted on the 13th). I'm still working on Night 2 and am not entirely sure when it will be posted but my guess is about 2 weeks after Night 1. Partially to give everyone time to watch Night 1 as well as to give me time to put all the final touches on Night 2.

[OrochiGeese]

Ok!

I needed a bit of time to get my writing energy back but tonight (thanks to encouragement from Dragonkin) I started AND finished Voltage!! Woo! It is going to be posted the weekend of February 5th-6th. A week after the January UBL Circuit Show.

Amplitude will follow two weeks from then. I still need to write that up but I have all the videos done.

In fact, I have all the videos done for practically all of the shows coming up. All Voltages and two out of the three Amplitudes. So really other then getting 2-3 videos for the last Amplitude and of course starting the PPV videos (and I already know the full card for that). I just have write-ups and RP's to do for the next few months. (for UBL too actually)

I figure the PPV will happen sometime during the late spring-summer. All OG-Joshi PPV

[OrochiGeese]

Just wanted to provide a show update

Amplitude is currently being worked on. All the matches are in video form and are finished. Really, just about 90% of the videos for both shows up until the next PPV are done. So it's just a matter of a lot of writing between shows and RP's.

I got kinda distracted due to other games and RL stuff but I can probably finish the Amplitude write-up in the next week. If I don't, I have another O's TV ready to go to hopefully hold everyone over. So my guess is Amplitude in very early March.

Voltage will occur after LAWLiday which I also have to finish writing.


Edit:

I just updated the Championship History and posted the bio of a certain newcomer who seems to have made an impact

Gawd, I have so many bios to update. I updated Sandy Morton's a bit but there are just so many who are behind
