Preliminary Schedule for EMERGE 2013

[Brandon]

How do we feel about this schedule? I wanna come up with a schedule that is convenient for the vast majority of the member base. So far, here is what I got down for what a normal month here at EMERGE would go.

Week 1:[/u]
EMERGE "House Show" - This is an *optional* show for the members to participate in. I'm going to use this week to make any CAW edits, Forum Changes and anything else that needs to be done. As for the "House Show" itself. I'm thinking one of two things:

1. I randomly book matches for everyone to watch.

or

2. You guys make the recommendations. You tell me who you want to see compete in a match. Similar concept to how Showtime's "OWN" forum was ran.

As for the role-playing aspect of the show. Again, that part is going to be entirely up to you, the members. You can use this show to further develop your storylines/characters and so on. Or, if you wanna sit back, relax and just watch the matches while you recharge your batteries? Go for it!

So that's basically EMERGE's "House Show" concept in a nutshell.

Weeks 2 & 3 (sometimes 4 on longer months)[/u]
"CyberShock" - This is our weekly TV show "CyberShock". No need to really explain what you need to do here. Roleplay. Develop storylines/characters. Make your matches. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Furthermore, on the subject of using "Story Designer" mode. This is also the time where if you wish to use a scene from the mode to extend your character's development and/or storyline beyond simple text. You need to PM me how you want your scene to go, and I will add your scene before your match starts.

Week 4 (sometimes 5 on longer months)[/u]
EMERGE Pay-Per-View's - Self Explanatory folks.

So... that my friends is the preliminary schedule. One that we can all discuss, and tweak before we officially sit this baby in stone.

Sounds cool so far, are you going to do PPV's on a Saturday to avoid conflict when WWE & TNA have a PPV on to make sure people are around and not flicking back & forth and miss something, that's if you are streaming live or you going to record whole show then upload it? If your going that route then no need to worry about doing it Sat. or Sun. as it will be uploaded to view at that persons leisure lol

What will probably happen is I generally book PPV's on Sunday's. So, on those shows alone. I'm likely going to do my best to get them up & ready to view by Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. I have no way of 'streaming' them live. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how that's done. I may have to speak with Karl about that to see how he does it, and will go from there. But I can assure you. I'll work things around to where it won't conflict with the WWE & TNA PPV's.

I'm thinking of having the House Shows up on Friday's. CyberShock on Saturday. Then of course, the PPV's on Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Depending on how big the card turn out is. Keep in mind folks. I'm the lone simmer here. So while I will do everything in my power to get these shows up on time. For the bigger card events. It may take a good day or two before everything can be posted.

Same here I never live streamed anything myself, so I would have to wait till I get mew device and try it off that... That's what I normally did, I would record/upload whole day before and set the vids to private and then post them in the ppv topic next day..

On the subject of House Shows. Which do you guys prefer?

1. I randomly book matches for everyone to watch.

or

2. You guys make the recommendations. You tell me who you want to see compete in a match. Similar concept to how Showtime's "OWN" forum was ran.

Guess it could work both ways, could take requests but also throw in a few matches at your discretion.. Just in case it's a slow week or whatever and not a lot of requests were made for it ya know. Think it would be better that way to keep both options around
