OOC Response from the Man Behind MWE
With the up and coming MWE Brand…there are tons of questions looming about in the MegaVerse. Click the following for an exclusive behind the scenes thoughts by the man behind the MWE and what it means/why did it come into being.
“My online name is DARKSPADE, the real founder of this sport. Back in 1998, there was no darkside-anything… what we had, well the fans of the Undertaker, was theundertaker.net. I was a regular poster on this site and I earned a reputation for providing meaningful content and commentary about wrestling in general. I even collaborated with some UT fan sites like SabreTooth’s Corruptive Crypt and PhenomForest.com. Eventually as the Undertaker was injured- the forum admin for UT.net decided to pass the time by playing out our characters. So technically, the “founder” of role playing wasn’t done by me but there was no wrestling federation… no body ever thought to organize it. But naturally it fell to me… luckily I was also studying web/graphic design at that time and I figured that we needed to save this really cool idea of playing out our characters.. and so, I wanted to create COTNRPG website to house COTN Fan driven message boards… unfortunately, nobody wanted to work on it… so one night, on Dec 5th, I converted my own message board into what will become the legendary CWE role-playing board. After that, we needed a system of official match writing so I also created the Battle Board which through the inspiration of Final Fantasy turn-based user interface set in stone the play-by-taking-turns concept.
Long story short- if it was not for Creature Wrestling… this sport would not exist! CW invented this sport!- the work of me, the work of the community- by pulling together our concepts- CW forged a legend which to the end of time will never be outmatched.
We live in a new era of technology with our smart phones and people are spending less and less time on their home PCs and more on their iPhones and iPads… in this fast-pace and easy to get to information world… in order for this e-fed to evolve and for me to pass the torch… there has to be an e-fed which is as compatible and embraces social-networking.
The way I envision the survival of our sport is with a large network of like-minded individuals working together for a common purpose. I’ve learned a lot in my years at CW and in real-life so that’s why I took a chance and did the most radical thing possible… create a new e-fed! given the fact that CW does not have a roster.
You’re going to find that the real revolutionaries and risk takers are right here in the home of this sport and absolutely no where else!! It was a risk to get CWF started and sometimes you have to take them… whether success or fail… you won’t be able to press forward with new experience. That’s definitely what I see wrong with “other” efeds. They constantly emulate our game mechanics, themes and structures but they don’t have what it takes to create true original content.
With the MWE what we are looking at is a radically new idea with a merger of CW mechanics and traditional e-fed game mechanics… it is also a new perspective on a story that was never told… kinda always in the background… which were the humans.
I’ve said so much XD well regardless what one thinks… MWE is an edgy, and as one player told me “Sick. Cool idea” when he saw the prototype idea. Before I end, I will say that we are not stopping with the MWE. I have many other announcements to make which will continue to break boundaries and define new concepts as we always have at the home our sport.”
