Hey guys,
You have read the title here, and that is exactly what this is going to be. Do I owe everyone an explanation for where I have been for the last day? You bet your ass that I do. It was not cool for me to basically evaporate and leave everyone hanging. I got a dozen or more messages asking me what was up across a few different social media platforms.
Those of you that talked to me yesterday, or are following tweets on the Pride account, and Kris' account, know that yesterday was not a good day for me. Of course it got kicked off with Pride problems. The show did not get posted in full of Tuesday night, and that was an issue for a few people, myself included. I hate doing things late. I was already in a bad mood. Over the course of teaching, it only got worse. I can safely tell all of you that it was one of the single worst days of my adult life. I had two fights inside my classroom about the exact same thing. I had five students in total get suspended. I had to stay after to be involved in the parent-teacher conferences about those suspensions, and then I had my 87 mile drive home.
In all of this time, no fewer than six people stepped up and offered to help with Pride. However, I felt that I was going to be able to still get things done. Of everything that got posted, I wrote all but one match. Of course, a lot of the segments were turned in by others, but many of those were my doing as well. Now, those that offered to help all had individual reasons for not coming through. Some were better than others, but it does not change anything. This was not anyone else's fault but mine. I am the one responsible.
I had a giant show to write, essentially by myself, over the course of a really bad day. By the time I could actually do it last night, there was no way that I was going to be functional to. I went to work today, and then as soon as I got home, worked tirelessly on Pride up to this point. The full results are posted, and I hope you guys enjoy them.
As for Pride's future? Nothing has changed for me. I love doing this. It is not a struggle to do this. I enjoy it.
As for your future with Pride? That is what people will have to figure out. In the last 24 hours I have got a lot of angry messages. I have gotten disappointed messages. I have gotten people saying that Pride is not for them. All of it.
You all may have noticed that we are operating way over the cap for the roster, because I have never wanted to tell anyone no for my entire life. We will probably continue operating over roster cap. Here is what is happening though.
I am giving everyone 24 hours to decide if they want to stick with Pride, or not. Shoot me a DM on Twitter if you want to be removed, or a PM on the boards to this account. You will all notice that those that no showed and STILL have not gotten in touch with me have been removed to the graveyard. If any of you guys want to stay, I can move you back.
Anyone that is left on the roster at 11:30PM Eastern Time tomorrow night will be on the card that gets posted at 11:31PM Eastern Time tomorrow night.
Now, since the card is already a day late, and will be two days late by the time we get everyone sorted, booked, and posted I figure we might need to extend the deadline. Honestly, I would be okay with pushing deadline to Monday instead of Sunday, which would give you guys an extra 24 hours. The show date would not move off of the 17th, and you guys would still have 11 days to RP.
I promised that you guys would have 12 though, and I try my hardest to keep promises. So, if anyone would rather keep the Sunday deadline, but push the show back a week in order to have a full cycle, we can do that too.
I would honestly rather keep it where it is, because I am too excited to wait three weeks for another show.
I will leave it up to majority rule though. You guys can just comment here and I will go through them as I am building the card tomorrow.
Remember, if you do not want to be on it, or want to be removed from the roster, let me know. If you are new, and want to be booked, all you have to do is post a contract in the next 24 hours and you will be on the next card.
Thanks guys.
And I apologize for anyone that feels like I let them down.
