Update

Cedron, I accept of whatever you have said, but you see, Ethan could have given a word to us about the results being late. you see, that is hat makes us all bad, and you know the first reputation must be the best reputation. The fed must think his fellow roster members as his family that is what i am willing to say.He must trust us and put up a word to us about the result being late, forget the reasons. This is my view.

Okay, I'm not on the roster here but here's the thing, I've seen all the comments made regarding this situation and while there are some have legitimate concerns, there are a number of people who desperately need a reality check. I get it, you've all put in the effort writing RPs for your matches and you are anxious to see who won but something has obviously come which Ethan has had to deal with. You all, understandably, want to know what's going on but there's only one person who can relay that information.

Those who were in OCW knows that before Boardwalk took over running the fed, Ethan suffered a medical emergency and we know he has kids to look after. I sincerely hope that neither Ethan nor his kids have had a medical emergency come up but, I don't care HOW much you want to see what happens in a fake wrestling show, but for anybody who has their priorities straight this game is the FIRST thing which is put to the side should anything come up. Just the possibility that Ethan's absence is the result of such an emergency makes me disgusted at the people who would simply label him a "flake" and threaten to take their ball and go home and I sincerely hope I never find myself in a fed with any of you. I have had nothing but positive interactions with Ethan and I will not treat him with such disrespect.

Jonny hit the nail on the head when he said this is just a game and late results are, most definitely, not the end of the world. I mean, hell, the whining started within a matter of days and from what I saw on Twitter, ACE couldn't wait to entertain the idea of poaching the roster. Well, if people are so butt hurt at having to give Ethan the benefit of the doubt and wait patiently for the results then I would say "Get the hell out and good riddance" to those people. Just remember, you may THINK you're the greatest player alive and the fed should be grateful you've deigned to grace it with your presence, but you're expendable and feds will go on just fine without you.

It's a lot more difficult to run a fed than it is to be a player who only has to show up once a week to roleplay, so if you think it's difficult to find time in your schedule to put an RP together, just imagine what it must be like for Ethan to not only have a family and a job, but to put together a show which makes everybody look as good as they can, create and advance stories and put all of the graphics together. Then you talk shit about him when it's not up when YOU want it? I don't think those people should just get the hell out of the fed, they should get the hell out of the GAME entirely. You don't have to pay a cent to play this game and Ethan doesn't make a cent providing you a sandbox to play in, so if results happen to be late... DEAL WITH IT! Or, you know, you could take a page out of Alex K's playbook (if you don't know who I'm talking about, it's your loss) and STEP UP and keep the fed alive.

in defence of the disgruntled, I don't think any of them would be as inhumane as you're making them out to be. if there are serious matters relating to this I would expect everyone in this fed to provide the necessary support and patience required to get it flourishing.

many feds fall at the first hurdle. i would imagine most, if not everyone here, has witnessed this. these previous experiences may be why there was a knee-jerk reaction to the slow results.

I can only speak for myself when I say I don't know Ethan personally, and, unlike you, I am not privy to his personal life. that may or may not be case for others here, but I assume those who displayed their unhappiness probably didn't know this either, otherwise they may have shown more patience.

as for ACE, they helped promote CCW and are a UWL affiliate. they don't want to see it fail, they only had the best interests of the RPers e-wrestling community in mind.

you're right to offer an insight into what you know and what may or may not be the story here. i think it's commendable to step in and offer these sentiments. but i don't think you've really looked at it from both sides like you say you have. no one is saying he should put this before his personal life, or that it's as easy to run a fed as it is to RP in one, or any of the other things you're suggesting. the people involved here are passionate about this hobby and want to get the most they can from it. equally, they're human too, which I think you fail to remember.

I think we can all learn from this really. the unhappy RPers should look at the bigger picture, and you could have perhaps just given your opinions/personal insight, and ask that people be more patient.

let's all agree to disagree, and draw a line in this. wait for answers, hope that nothing serious has happened, and move on from there.
