With the TV division and some other ideas coming to fruition for the start of 2017, I feel we're piling up a decent handful of small additions and tweaks that will really make this place that much better. Below are my current plans for changes/additions that I'm gonna try to get to happen in time for the new year. - Change banner at top of the forums to include picbases of top characters - Start using the championship belt graphics under the title/description for the posting of those matches in results posting. - TV division - Different guest host/GM each week - weekly OOC match writing award Now, whether OOC or IC, what are your ideas? This is the time for us to try to implement as many ideas as we can get to fit within UCI, so let us know. Let's discuss.

Good base to start with. I'd be wary of changing too much too fast though.
Maybe we can get custom plates on the go for championship title graphics. Like Jenson if he won the TV title has a HBO logo or game of thrones on his or something. obviously it'd mean someone *cough*teo*cough* would need to change the title graphic on every new champion.

I liked the creative team idea that used to get done, maybe revisit that with a more diverse panel?
I'd be fearful of changing too much too soon as well though.

Not too many major changes happening of course. I know it's not broken, just trying to think up smaller changes at this point. The title graphic is a thing I was thinking about actually, just need someone who would wanna do little custom side deals like that. As for the creative team thing, I'd still love to repackage it as a true one. Just waiting on the interest and full team to become a thing. We'll see though.

We need more tag teams, I think Randy and I can help with that in 2017.
The Banner definitely needs an upgrade.
I like the Belt graphics idea.
I'm neither a fan or opposed to guest GM's, I don't know too many of the guys here before I came so I'm impartial to that idea, business as usual.
Definitely need OOC awards for match writers, I think that can also be incentive for others to write and get more help.
I will say this, I think there needs to be more segments on shows, not only by the handlers of the characters but the bosses as well, generate some surprise not just from matches, I also like aftermaths, post something about what happened after the show, maybe even have some news or notes. More hype for big matches especially on Twitter and on the board, generate and promote more buzz. I would like to see that in 2017. Black Mass was awesome but compared to Civil War and Killing Floor it generated little build toward the last event of the year. My two cents.

I was actually thinking about how you and/or a couple of your friends teaming would be a good idea. The banner is pretty doable before the new year. The belt graphics idea is cool, but that's more of a "we shall see" as it means I have to enlist a lot more help from someone. Guest GM's is something that could provide a cool boost for people, someone to use both in segments and RPs if the writer would like. OOC awards is definitely happening, will do that starting after the next show. Review is also doable and as for segments, I'd love us all to get more involved there.

I dig the guest GM idea. I also liked Bolas' suggestion in the other thread about maybe doing it monthly instead of weekly. Or split the difference, and do it every other week. It's going to be a lot of fun, though.
We should all be working on doing more segments. Personally, I'm never quite sure if/when it's appropriate. This is an area where a creative team could come in handy. Help develop some segments and maybe poke at people who ought to be doing them?
Oh, yeah, and what Omar said about hyping the PPVs more. The build for Black Mass felt a tiny bit rushed, which I know was largely due to how the holidays messed up our schedule. (Still a badass show, though.) We definitely need to make more use of Twitter and Character News forums, too.
All in all, this has been an amazing 7 months and there's nothing big I would want to see changed.

I was thinking about updating a couple of the belts for 2017.
I think some are fine but others have room for improvement. I was going to make a separate thread for it as needed lol.

Here you go Teddy, you can tear these apart if you wish. I built them a long time ago and none of them got used for the fed. And that first one is actually built out of three belts and I spent many hours at the comp doing it. But I don't own that program on this computer, so I haven't done any graphics work in forever. So if you want to use them for anything, be my guest. As for the things happening, I am all for it. I have an idea. A separate locker room board, with each person having a sub board. So that characters can interact who would normally not interact due to people having real lives lol. Might also be a good way to build storylines or create new ones based off of a bad conversation, yada yada. Just feel it adds a lot of potential without a lot of change. I still think the guest host should be monthly so as not to run the well dry or potentially turn the whole show too gimmicky. Cause lets face it, a guest GM should have a bit of a gimmicky show. Food for thought. Match writing awards would be awesome. Fits in to the whole feedback on the show. What you have here isn't really a lot of change. Its additions that is just going to add to what is already present without over burdening the current load. It isn't like your doubling the amount of matches on shows or anything like that. IDK if it is on the boards somewhere, but maybe a schedule. Like this show is happening this night at this town yada yada. A set schedule of ppvs as well, so that potential storylines can be set up around said schedule. Its just another useful tool. And if it is here, could someone direct me to it! lol Segments on shows. I never know when I should do one and when I do, I feel like I suck a bit at them lol I do need to throw one out ever now and then though. Something I need to work on. Here is a thought, have all new comers from now on have to do an introduction segment. Something simple, short, something that would be aired right before their first match. Maybe even some cheesy made up commercials for products of the stars of UCI. For Example.... ::Do you want that smooth, rich feeling in your hair without feeling that feminine feeling. What man doesn't, am I right fellas. Well thank your lucky stars for Alex Richards Shampoo for Manly Men. This product will knock her socks off fellows when she catches a whiff of your manliness in Urban Commando, Wildwood Rogue, Suburban Blast, and Ghetto Fabulous. Shampoo for Manly Men....cause who doesn't want to be manly.:: You know, things like that. lol I can think up all sorts of stuff like that. Bonnie Blue's Blue Balls - Exercise balls targeted for women who want extra flexibility. UCI Pillows - Shaped like the upper body and head of your favorite wrestler, who wouldn't want to fall asleep on the chest of Kevin Bishop or Celeste Mallory! Spencer Adams Gotcha Wallet - When your as tight asses as Spencer, you want to make sure every dollar is accounted for. And this wallet if for you! Relentless - The new cologne from the relentless one himself, Relentless Andre Holmes Im sure I could come up with other things, but that would give away trade secrets lmfao This has been my two cents.

Internet board is basically that. It's like Twitter on the boards since most don't use that devilish tool that many abuse for weird shit and trolling lol.
