There has been a lot of weeping and crying about people losing matches, hating bookers, complaining about this, that, and the other thing.
Get over it, you're going to lose. You're going to lose matches you shouldn't lose. Bookers will screw you over, they will promise you the moon and the stars and fail to live up to that. You will get into a match that you feel you won, your friends feel you won, and you will lose. That's the game.
Sometimes you lose for storyline purposes, sometimes you lose because the judge or judges thought the other guy Rp'ed better, but you will lose.
This is the way it's been since the dawn of time itself, hell back in the day it was even more political and more soulless...Mike Randalls jobbed to Doc Silver twice for the simple reason that Schmid was never gonna put the AAWC World Title on a guy who was dominating CSWA. I could have had Doc eating a pizza and posted "This Pizza is yummy" and retained the belt.
People always talk about the 'good old days'...They didn't exist...Hell I've been involved in so much bullshit drama, inflicting a ton of it, but also having a great deal thrown at me...
Such mindnumbing bullshit as
The Randalls/Doc, Doc quits CSWA cause the next card was posted and Randalls was defending the title so everything went to crap and I swear Chad or Steve told me in E-mail I was losing and they swear they didn't ordeal.
Being promised ownership of the CSWA and then...Not so much.
Brutally vote rigging A1E, jobbing anyhow (And having GUNS lose a match he never should have lost, double so when he was bolstered by the vote rig) having the vote rig exposed, being kicked out of A1E.
The Zane Incident
Having Andrew Medina job Doc to Jean Rabesque, thusly not paying off the angle I'd been working on with him for forever, and then having the Andrew Medina character come out and bury Doc some more. Then to top it off, he came back to me a while later seeing if I'd join a new league he opened or if I was 'still upset over what happened a long time ago'
And a ton of other slings and arrows of various degrees of annoyance have been thrown at me. It's part of the game, E-Fedding is political, it always has been, always will be, it's dealing with inter-personal relationships, and thusly drama, for you to win, somebody has to lose.
This is the nature of the beast...If you don't like it, quit...Cause really nobody cares that you got ruthlessly screwed in your last match...
You know what losing in E-Fedding is? It's taking a bad beat in poker, it's happened to everyone, it will happen again, and again, and again, and while we all know it sucks, it's the price we pay to be in this hobby, and honestly, hobbies exist just so we can complain about them all the times they don't give us the payoffs we want.
So in closing...Harden the fuck up.

What is this "Zane Incident" you speak of, kind sir?
ReplyDeleteThey weren't always good, but they were always fun, and for a lot of us, it always was (and still is) just a fun lil' game.
