God what was that game where I convinced everyone to quick lynch Ulti day 1 when I was scum. Did scum win that?

It was the last game we played and town was getting steamrolled after I replaced out.

And I had you and Lea both pegged dead to rights as scum, I just didn't care anymore.

Is that a bot bump?

---

either that or I've subconsciously started another TEW murder mystery

---

so fun fact jericho and scott steiner are unavailable for my PPV and I didn't see that ahead of time, so this'll be an interesting punt >_>

...very curious to see who they work for that outprioritizes me because I'm pretty sure they'd be on written if they were in the big two

Also could use an idea on a prize <_>

ECW PRESENTS HARDCORE HEAVEN
Saturday, Wk. 3, June 1996

Heyman comes out to inform the crowd that Jericho couldn't even be bothered to show up for his big title match tonight- typical of these Network punks! Instead, he's putting some REAL ECW guys in the title match: Sabu and Mark Henry! And that match...is right now! (C) Sabu and Henry's rivalry continues, with both too focused on each other to properly put the champ away. Scorpio puts them both through the announce table with a top rope legdrop that doesn't look like it worked out well for anybody. Scorpio covers Sabu in an awkward finish shortly thereafter. (B-; Scorpio fully ruptures his triceps tendon; Henry contracts Costochondritis; Tom learns more random medical terms)

La Parka gesticulates enthusiastically at a bikini contest. Beulah doesn't really want to be there, but wins anyway. Woman gives her the stinkeye. (C+) Saturn gets his shot at Taz's TV title. A good effort with lots of mat wrestling, but the champ retains. (C-)

Tag Titles are up next, with the Pitbulls taking on Stevie and Christian. The youngsters are revved up, but come up sort, with Stevie eating the pin. (D) Christian yells at Stevie afterwards, then slaps him and leaves. (D+) Kronus was apparently feeling left out watching his partner get a title shot, so he gets the Rock instead. Rock puts him away rather easily. (D+)

Cactus Jack promised a partner tonight with whom he'll challenge the Network AND the Wolfpac! The only man crazy enough to do that is...of course....TERRY FUNK. (B) Scott Steiner also bailed tonight, so Chavo will be teaming with Rick, and Whipwreck and Douglas will be the Wolfpac pairing. Cactus and Funk go back much farther than the other teams, and have a much bigger mean streak than even the heels. That serves them well, as they are able to weather the chaos and just scrap their way to a win. (B)

Windham and Dreamer get the main event slot unexpectedly, and underpreform a bit if we're being honest. The former friends(?) beat the heck out of each other, but Windham has a bit more in the tank tonight, and outlasts Dreamer. (C-)

Overall: C- SUCCESS

War: 20/15 (unless somebody wants to argue Chainsaw Charlie not counting?)
5tar: 11/15
Maniac: 8/15
Sultan: 6/15

Maniac: 100/129
eaed: 61/110
War: 54/51
Sultan: 40/74
Lopen: 15/13
CPU: 10/22
5tar: 16/24

Surgery on Scorpio's tendon failed and made his injury worse

I was gonna go with Maniac's start a feud idea, but a better one has presented itself.

I don't really want to be champ-less for three months, so @Maniac64 gets to pick one person to get a shot at the title! I'm not committing to having them win or having it be a one-on-one match, but they'll at the very least be in a world title match!

---

Can you post or PM the current roster?

Not a lot of buzz regarding these playoffs, but I will give my Wild Card Round predictions:

Pioneers over Bills
Vikings over Falcons
Jets over Bengals
Giants over Panthers

Due to Madden being weird with seeding in future rounds, I won't give predictions for those, but I think that the Broncos and Cowboys will meet in the Super Bowl (such a bold prediction I know) with the Broncos emerging as our first AI SB winner.

ECW Hardcore TV
Wk. 4, 6/96

Heyman comes out to announce the sad news that Scorpio was injured at the last PPV, and will have to vacate the title. Alfonso comes out to crow, and Douglas comes out to shut him up. Heyman yells for order, and has an idea that might for once make everybody happy. At Heat Wave, ECW, the Network, and the Wolfpac will select one representative each to compete for the vacant title...and the same procedure will hold for the TV and Tag titles as well! He'll give everybody a week to start figuring out their plans. (B-) Jericho's back from Japan, and teaming up with Chavo to defend his honor against Dreamer and Taz. Taz is starting to incorporate more shootfighting into his arsenal, and it serves him well enough for Dreamer to get the win over Jericho. (C-; Taz's MMA Bad Ass gets Average)

Stevie and Christian are in the ring to argue. Stevie thought they were friends, man. Christian doesn't involve himself with dumb losers any more than he does with dumb gimmicks, and that's why he's JOINING THE NETWORK. Stevie, however, is one step ahead of him, and he's JOINING THE WOLFPAC! (D+) They must kung-fu fight. Relative newcomer Christian holds his own well against the more established Richards. Regardless, Stevie gets the upper hand on his former partner, but at the expense of an accidental ref bump. Stevie gets the visual pin....then gets SPEARED IN HALF by Adam Impact in a Network shirt! That really outta give Christian an Edge. Impact drags Christian over Stevie, and wakes the ref up to count three. (D)

Woman corners Beulah to harrass her over winning last week's bikini contest. With Scorpio otherwise occupied (I keep forgetting Woman is managing him!) she has half a mind to kick Beulah's cute little butt. Beulah invites her to try, and there's a TENSE (but somehow sexy because it's ECW) STAREDOWN. (C) Mark Henry is generally "credited" for shelving Scorpio, so La Parka suits up for revenge. Fueled by righteous fury, Parka is able to give the big man a surprising amount of trouble, but he can't quite get the job done. Especially after Bam Bam Bigelow returns from injury to get in a few cheapshots! (D)

The Steiners corner Rock backstage and butter him up as a future star. Maybe he'd like to join the winning team and get a TV Title out of it! The Rock will consider these jabronies' offer. (B-) Main event: Cactus, Funk, and Sabu form an ECW all-star team against the Wolfpac's Douglas, Windham, and Whipwreck. Funk coming back is still the big story here, and he proves he belongs by serving as the driving force behind a face win. (C+)

Rating: C SUCCESS still not enough babez

-Windham suffers a Grade II Hamstring Contusion, probably Funk's fault.
-We wish Damien Kane and Lady Alexandra all the best in their future endeavors.
-Regional Battles: ECW first in all applicable.
-Douglas wants to put a blue dot over Christian's face
-Chavo thinks this Edge guy is going places

I'm thinking either this cycle or next miiiiight be the last one for this diary, with 2020 theoretically being a thing. What I'm thinking for the final prize (whenever that happens) is you can give me one feud or storyline or whatever, and I'll summarize how I'd book it, trying to be a bit snazzier than usual with the booking. In addition, I could give the winner a second vote in a poll to determine the gimmick of my first 2020 game? (keeping in mind that real world mods take a really long time to start showing up so it'd probably be based in the Cornellverse)

Or I might just keep this rolling and start up a side 2020 game and not post about it, which is kinda what I did when 2016 came out!

Journey of Wrestling is also a thing we could do just to shake it up a teense

ECW HARDCORE TV
7/wk1/96

Alfonso is in the ring to announce the Network's #1 Contender for the ECW Title. Chris Jericho earned that spot...but didn't show up for the match, so we're giving it to Rick Steiner. Jericho pitches a fit, but is ignored and put into the TV Title match instead. (C-) Dreamer and Sabu roll through the Bad Crew in an underwhelming opener. (D+)

Mikey Whipwreck approaches Shane Douglas about his plans for Heat Wave. Douglas wants to let some of his boys get some love, so he's stepping aside for the title matches this time. Whipwreck is being considered....but Douglas has another idea too. Whipwreck will face the "other idea" next week, with the winner going for the ECW title and the loser going for the TV title. (C+) That's good enough for Whipwreck, and right now he's gotta team with Stevie Richards against Christian and (the) Edge, now calling themselves the Suicide Blondes. Stevie's out for revenge against his former buddy, but these new kids are pretty good, and get a big upset! (D)

Woman and Beulah have a catfight backstage, until separated by the Pitbulls. (C) Scott Steiner faces the Rock in a hot main event that sees Rock put over as a future star in coming up just a bit short against the relative vet. (B-) Heyman needs to declare ECW's representatives at Heat Wave...and the obvious choices are Cactus Jack and Terry Funk! The two grizzled warriors come forth....and are jumped on the entry ramp by Big and Strong! Henry and Bigelow destroy Cactus and Funk as Heyman can only look on in horror as the show closes. (B-)

Overall: C SUCCESS

I'm not sure I've ever seen Ulti have a game of mafia in the last ten years where he wasn't one of the bottom three players in it

That is what I tried to tell My_Immortal but he says Ulti used to be good so I dunno.

I guess I'm going off more word of mouth. I've been told he has 3 serial killer wins or something. That seems impressive

i got to like episode 8 or something and lost all interest

i do remember enjoying S4 near the end when things were all coming together but i have no idea how i would respond to it now and don't have any interest in revisiting. i thought about it but i saw now that it's split up into like 22 episodes and i was like "that's way too long". it's possible i was just easier on it because i was excited at the prospect of the show coming back at all.
