Ya, I agree that there could be a lot of repetitiveness with just facing the same guys, we will have a draft, and if you can find someone from the opposite show who isn't in a rivalry who is up for a feud then go for it.

I'm always up for feuding with anybody. I'm just here to have a good time. That's what RPing is all about afterall isn't it?

Edge, everyone WANTS the World title but they won't necessarily be named number one contender.

As I mentioned earlier its not necessarily about who the number one contender is, the fact still remains that if everyone is talking about fighting for one title there will be problems. Not everyone will get their opportunity to shine, I feel like this is all covered ground however, and everything has just been reiterated to many times.

heh. Yeah. Well I want to put up my opinion on the matter. Two Brands. Two World titles. ! tag team team title. 2 mid card titles. Seems fair. But there are points made my people whos names I don't care to look up no offence. But some people are in the sense that they will quit doing things if they keep losing. But I am pretty sure some of the people on here aren't like that. If we think back to old FCW. I kept to losing to Mystery. What did I do. I kept fighting back. But that is beside the point. But I think we should give this a try if it doesn't work you can easily make it a one branded fed. But Then again there would the be problem of the GM if he doesn't want to give up power. I really don't know but it is up to you R.M. I hope you make the best decision for this fed and for yourself. Because personally. This is the best fed I have ever been on and if this one goes down. I don't think i could join another one.

The immediate problem with e-fedding is that absolutely nothing is handled with any degree of care or consideration for prestige, and the end result is short term fixes that ultimately lead to bigger problems than the one they solve. I struggle to see the point in splitting the fed up into 2 different shows, when there haven't actually been two shows posted. We haven't had any length of time to guarantee who's going to be sticking around, who's going to be active, what angles are getting off the ground.
So far, Orton, Kendrick and Shelley are getting a stable off the ground. That's good, a nice slow burn, no real immediacy to push them into the main event, take the time to build them up as a threat. Jimmy Gimmick and Triple H are building up a feud, that's good, a high profile feud, which Parise has already benefitted from and established himself as an upper-midcarder at the least. The midcard roster is solid, with enough time and people to book matches so that the RPers can get a feel for their characters before they move onto something more longterm. I don't see any real problem with keeping Anarchy as it is whilst it gets on it's feet.
The real problem is that people want too much, too soon. There are three questions we need to ask ourselves.
a) Can we honestly guarantee that the titles are going to be equal in standing?
I can appreciate that it's possible for the main event to be cluttered, but the only reason that would be the case would be poor booking. As RPers, it's our obligation to give our characters motivation, and to focus on making entertaining storylines. There's this misconception that people have that the best way to RP against someone is to completely talk them down and make them seem like a completely irrelevant footnote, because all your character wants is the title and blah blah blah. Which is ridiculous, because 1) if your character loses, he's just lost to someone who he said was nothing and shot his own momentum in the foot and 2) it gives the writers, the opponent and the fed in general absolutely nothing to work with.
If people's main concern is that they're not getting a title shot, then they're in this game for the wrong reason, and as we've already established, those that realise they're not going to get the belt any time soon will up and leave, because they're under the illusion that just because they have creative freedom with their own character, they can do what they want in general. The point of e-fedding is to have fun writing and to collaborate with people. It really isn't that hard to start a feud up for reasons other than a fictitious title.
b) How long term is the brand split going to be, and how are we going to handle a collapse without harming the prestige of the wrestlers or the titles?
I've seen it happen. One fed which had a relatively successful brand split going, two midcard titles, a pair of tag team championships, a World title on each brand which God knows how managed to keep some degree of prestige despite all the hot-shotting, when it stopped having so much of an influx of talent, and all of the old-timey RPers were either getting bored of it or hot-shotting between different characters so no one was over enough to hold the big belts. What started as roughly 15 RPers per brand turned into 5 or 6. The way they handled it was a complete copout, and this was for a brand split that had lasted two years.
Imagine this brand split only lasts something pitiful like two months, and if it keeps going then the fed will have to close. The champions are practically freshly crowned. How are you going to unify the belts without completely nullifying the value of their title win to begin with? And what happens if the main event starts to get 'crowded' again?
c) Is the brand split actually going to be abided by?
As I've already established under point A, the problem with a lot of e-fedders is that they believe they can simply do as they please and expect the bookers to fill the blanks. If they're not respecting the pecking order of title shots, what makes you think they're going to treat a new title with a degree of dignity? Or even the brand split itself? Are there actually going to be rules in place to ensure that a wrestler is going to be forced to stick to a select brand before interbrand feuds become so saturated that they mean about as much as...well, the actual brand split?
I think it's more hassle than it's worth for a fed that hasn't even found it's bearings yet.
