- I rarely feed the beast when it comes to the Roundtable (for my own reasons), but this topic seems good enough to do so.
What do you like about angled feds (pros/positives)? Easier and no RP'ing is required. Also no judging either but that's not exactly hard to do.
What do you hate/dislike about them (cons/negatives)? As learned through PWW and the like, its a lot easier to overload on talent in an angled fed than it is in an RP fed. There should definitely be a roster cap for this kind of stuff.
What has been your favorite angled fed? Between PWW and WWA. The former was good for the time it had and there were some writing styles from the results that I ended up taking and utilizing for PCW in its second run, while the latter is just entertaining without having to really do anything other than write a segment or two (haven't done that in a bit due to time constraints but always at least try to complete one). Of course, I do think that for angled feds, they should have interactive elements to not only make things more active, but also see who's working hard and end up getting pushed (the whole "work hard, you get rewarded" kind of thing), but that's a different story.
What is you least favorite angled fed? RCW, for the reasons Reaper stated above.
What is the best storyline or feud one of your characters has been a part of in an angled fed (name several if you like)? It's not so much a storyline as it is joining a group, but I'll just say Morgan joining Killer Queen Incorporated. Being involved with KQI and gaining Talia Skye as a manager, has rejuvenated the character and has given her career new life. Also gave me more interest and things to really work with when it comes to her, and I'm hoping to realize a lot of the things I have in mind for Miss Simmons.
What is the worst storyline or feud your characters have been involved in (name several if you like)? Can't really recall any as I don't have any of my characters in CCP, and outside of a select few, I barely keep up with anything.

What do you like about angled feds (pros/positives)? No RPing, you just get to enjoy stress free.
What do you hate/dislike about them (cons/negatives)? There's less involvement from the handler. And also the writer/owner has almost complete control over your charaters.
What has been your favorite angled fed? I enjoy CCP as I feel it's well booked and everyone gets a fair shake. I also love WWA and PWW as I'm a huge women's wrestling fan.
What is you least favorite angled fed? RCW, for the reasons Reaper stated above.
What is the best storyline or feud one of your characters has been a part of in an angled fed (name several if you like)? 1. In an old WWE angled fed Talia was put on a monster undefeated streak which rocked. 2. Talia's run with KQI in WWA has been great. 3. I liked how Damon was introduced in CCP, as the Raven type heel. He's fallen flat a bit as of late though.
What is the worst storyline or feud your characters have been involved in (name several if you like)?
1. In the WWE fed Talia was hooked up in a relationship with Drew McIntyre..... nasty. 2. This isn't so much a bad storyline, but sad that a storyline hasn't occurred yet, but I've been hoping that Brian Stryker, Damon Warrens, and Liam Reilly would get together as a stable for months now and sadly they haven't in CCP.

We all pretty much love and dislike the same angled feds. LOL!

Pros of angled feds - Less time consuming for participants and (I suspect) writers.
Cons - No control over your own destiny, with regards to wins/losses, though this does add to the realism of the show in my opinion.
Fave angled fed - CCP, hands down.
Least favourite - I'd have to concur with everyone else and say RCW. I didn't dislike it and thought there was potential there but the shows were often unrealistically long and I'm a sucker for realism.
Favourite angle for my own wrestler - The war between Liam Reilly and Kai was fantastic and I loved being able to use the Redeemer's Rules match.
Least favourite angle - I wasn't a big fan of Liam Reilly's portrayal as RCW colour commentator. He came across as weak and a bit stupid compared to the other commentators.

Other than handing that company over to someone else. Killing it was the best thing that could happen to it. I couldn't handle a fed like that. Not by myself anyways. I had no help. Haha

Pros of angled feds - Less writing, obviously.
Cons - Depending on the fed, there's not as much as an intimate feel. You've got to put a lot of trust into the Fed Head to not unintentionally botch handling your character if you're unable to work with them.
Fave angled fed - Not counting CCP or JPW, probably PWW, Pride Wrestling and HKW.
Least favourite - RCW. The idea seemed good in theory, but it kind of fell apart quickly.
Favourite angle for my own wrestler - Kai/Harrison Andrews from last year's Apocalypse Now. Honestly, I had that storyline planned out since Kai's creation and had Harrison set up as his rival/equal. I didn't know if the whole "Keep them apart except for out of their first/only one on one match for now" idea would work. The Mariella/Tom feud from Pride Wrestling, Kai/Reilly/Corra/Karston/Blackfire feud from the summer in CCP, and the current Jinzai/Michael Alexander feud from HKW are close seconds.
Least favourite angle - Don't really have one, atm.

Happy New Years everyone!!! To fit the theme of new years and new beginnings I've got a few discussion questions!
What is your e-fed related New Years Resolution?
On the theme of new beginnings what's the best 'new beginning/fresh start' you've seen for a character?
Which attempt at a fresh start or new beginning for a character do you think failed?
Pick a character of your own, what could be their 'new beginning'?

What is your e-fed related New Years Resolution? Not sure if this is really a New Years Resolution considering I kinda started this in 2014, but my goal is to focus more on pushing other people's characters, and less on my own characters.
On the theme of new beginnings what's the best 'new beginning/fresh start' you've seen for a character? Tom Pendergrass' push in JPW. I also think The International Yakuza making their debut in JPW was a great new beginning for Ciarin Quin.
Which attempt at a fresh start or new beginning for a character do you think failed? I recall bringing Reaper into PCW under a "Deadly Rhino" gimmick. I'm not exactly sure where I was going with that.
Pick a character of your own, what could be their 'new beginning'? My characters are going to put other characters over. Like I stated above. In JPW. I want to focus more on pushing characters who belong to Tom, Nathan, Amy, Craig, Allie, Pauly and the new handlers who have signed characters up to JPW. I have a big ending planned for Night of Dragons, and I'm going to go ahead, and say that it's going to change JPW.

What makes romance and sex work in e-fedding?:
What causes these angles to fail? For me it's either an over abundance or complete under abundance. I can't stand couples that are all mushy and lovey every friggen tweet/rp, but the couples that almost seem distant also take me out of it.
Best romance/sexual angle in e-fedding?: The only romance/sex angle I really ever saw was Smith Jones and Mya Denton. I kinda enjoyed it, but at the same time I was busy with my own thing so I never really paid much attention to it.
Worst romance/sexual angle in e-fedding? I remember being involved in an angle that was just doomed cause the fed was pathetic and allowed CAWS and real life wrestlers. The angle involved me, Kane, and some girl he was stalking. It lasted all of two weeks before the fed folded.
Best e-fed character couple? I don't have one that I find the best cause its all subjective. One might find the relationship between say Kai and Ava or Syn and Brytain as the best, others might find Reaper and Rachael.
Worst e-fed character couple? Styker and Clara Tyler. Total bomb.

Figured I'd try to shoot some life into this thread, and maybe gauge some opinions and ideas on some topics within E-Fedding... maybe. And since Wrestlemania season was recently, it's mostly featuring Big Events. What are your top 5 favorite angles going into a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? What are your top 5 worse angles going into a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? What are your top 5 favorite matches from a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? What is your favorite Flagship Pay Per View?

- I don't remember much outside of the PCW realm. Anything out of it is what I remember my character's doing, so this will be a biased heavy post in this thread (as most of what I chose is what I either wrote the matches myself, or helped write/map out).
What are your top 5 favorite angles going into a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? - The Danielle Lopez/Talia Skye feud heading into Battle Finale II - Michael Morrison versus Israel Steele for the Platinum Title [Super Clash] - Heather Monroe's heel turn heading into her match against Danielle at Super Clash - The Draven/Israel Steele feud heating up to their TLC Match at Battle Finale II [the Platinum Title would soon get involved after Sickboy took an LOA] - Steve Storme versus Michael Morrison at Slamathon III [everybody thought Storme was the face, but he turned and Morrison turned face, so a double turn happened.
What are your top 5 worse angles going into a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? - I cannot think of any off the top of my head, but I do remember one instance during the first ever Battle Finale that left me scratching my head and thinking "that was fucking horrible. Why the fuck did I allow this shit?".
What are your top 5 favorite matches from a Fed's Flagship Pay-Per-View? - Danielle Lopez versus Talia Skye [Battle Finale II] - Danielle Lopez versus Heather Monroe [Super Clash] - Struggle for Power Battlefield [Struggle for Power III] - Israel Steele versus Draven Logan Kennedy [Battle Finale II] - James Baker versus Terry Richards [CWF Super Card V] - Mariano did a fine job writing that match. And was great working with Leo throughout that entire feud that spanned nine months.
What is your favorite Flagship Pay Per View? - Battle Finale [talking series wise. Looking back, it should have been THE BIG PPV in the first PCW run instead of Super Clash, but that's just me.]

- Steve Storme versus Michael Morrison at Slamathon III [everybody thought Storme was the face, but he turned and Morrison turned face, so a double turn happened. You just made me go back and read Slamathon! That double turn was GODLY and The Elite - what a faction. Miss PCW and all of you! xoxo
