My first time being in charge of this thing, so i want to know how good a job we did this time around. The card is more my idea, the actual results were a culmination of at least a half a dozen guys helping out and being just peachy. So how did we do?

Yeah, they were good. Disappointed I lost to be honest, but... ah well. I guess I've only myself to blame.
Looking forward to this thing with Myst and the Main Event looks promising.

To be honest, i have everyone write alternate endings in case ANYONE could have won. So for the triple threat, i had either a Dan Taylor, Myst or Jordan Glass ending. Now more isnt always better but Jordan Glass just wrote alot of good RPs. Both your and Mysts RP's were awesome as well, but when it comes down to everyone has awesome RPs that cannot be compared, bulk just went for the win this time around. Thats as much truth as i can give. Beyond the fact that i was the only judge this week considering i was the only one not booked. How im gonna do it this week...i really dont know!

A few people have randomly IMed me saying that I should have won. Generally, I don't have a problem losing and I wasn't going to say anything until those people approached me... but if you're saying that Jordan won because of bulk, then it's different. No offence to Jordan here and congratulations on your win. 
Another thing I have a problem with is you judging the RPs... because of this:
I think you did a very nice roleplay, i prefer lots of dialogue because i tend to skip all the descriptions and get straight to the meat of the roleplay. I get alot of his attitude and such, but there is something about the style that i dont like. I dont mean the formatting, more of the trash talk. I tend to like the kind of roleplay that builds up your opponent with accolades or giving credit where credit is due, and then tearing them down about how much better you are and how they have no chance. Instead it was more or less just calling your opponents "nothing" a half dozen times and trying to make it seem like you might as well be fighting a jobber. It makes the match more interesting when it becomes more a virtual pick em, rather than just The Xtreme Champ vs. Two Nobodies. But otherwise its a very good dialogue roleplay, plenty of meat without dragging on at all. I like it alot.
You say you skip the description when description is JUST AS important as the dialogue.

Gonna have to agree with DDT
You dont have ot judge on your own Corp, other mtch writers can judge other matches to just ask.
Also description is just as important as dialogue, what if somethings goingo n in teh background that the character may miss but is vital to the role play, if you miss that then the base of teh RP could be missed...

Well considering you won your match Calaz, with the descriptions of Ticker being your guest in your roleplay, i would have to say that this time around i did pay attention to some descriptions that felt important. Otherwise i would have changed the match ending at the last second because Kid Jack had more to his roleplay dialogue wise, which would under normal circumstances been my preferance. So i did try to be as little bias as possible.
I can understand how Dan Taylor may be upset with his loss, no one wishes to lose their debut match. Myst was the one who also got pinned, which ruins any chance of us building him up to any sort of streak. If anything, Myst got a bigger hit than you did by losing.
People have a right to their opinions, and the fact that they believe you should have won is fine, but in the end i preferred Jordans nearly half a dozen RPs to your two, which despite seemingly popular believe in my eyes were NOT superior. I am sorry if that stings a little, because we at XVI value all our members, but next time i would simply suggest that you try to do a little more to secure a victory.
I know i know, you probably have other commitments other than XVI in other feds, and you probably have a life outside of efedding which i expect to hear from you like everyone else uses as an excuse, but the results simply are results. You may have lost, but you were not pinned, so i would play that up and still act like im the next big thing and that my loss was a fluke. But the choice is yours, hopefully i dont seem rude and inconsiderate and you choose to stick around to feud with Myst. Despite both of your losses, you have opportunities for the World Title, which should be enough of a bandage for your wounds.

I'm not trying to argue the point that I lost. It's not like I'm telling you to change the results, 'cause that's just not fair.
I'm arguing the fact that you don't have the right to decide the winners or losers when you don't read description and just award wins on how many RPs people do.

I thought i made it clear that it wasnt simply based upon who did more roleplays. All three of you did fantastic roleplays, Jordan simply did more fantastic roleplays. All of your qualities were right on, it was an unfortunate event that i had to choose quantity BECAUSE quality was on equal footing.
If Jordan and you and Myst all had done 2, then i would have found a need to seek council with the staff of their opinions. Its just this week i found no difficulty deciding winners, for whatever reason it had happened.
If it helps you at all, i will make it my promise to pay more attention to detail this week when determing results, and will even ask the opinions of the staff, even if i dont feel the need to. We will make sure this week you dont get screwed, Deal?

I'm arguing the fact that you don't have the right to decide the winners or losers when you don't read description and just award wins on how many RPs people do. I can agree with that. I firmly believe that there needs to be a limit to the number of RPs a person can do each card. Depending if it's a main event match, PPV, etc. |

It goes beyond me. I'm not just thinking of myself. I want you to promise that you'll read the description and count it with just as much worth as dialogue.
