Even a team who is handlers like the RA team would be good. I was just meaning its a burden on you guys to roleplay and write a couple of matches and judge everything. With more, that would eradicate a lot of the burden. We used to have one person writing each match and it worked efficiently.

It's true; I don't think we'd even consider this kind of expansion without a team that could handle doing two shows.
Also if this happened, I'd probably pull Riley back out of EXODUS and focus entirely on doing these shows.

This is how I feel about it after more thought.
1) We've got to cap soon. Maybe even now. The roster is huge enough, and with people feeling lost as it is, we need to cap. We need to set a cap of 30-35, and wait grandfather everyone in.
New people will be taken based on what they can bring to the table creatively, in name value, and in talent.
2) The application process needs to be a little more harsh. We can't let just anyone in anymore, because then we get situations where some of those handlers can feel overmatched against someone.
3) A second show or roster split is not going to happen. Period. Clint and I are the only consistent writers/judges, and unless we can get enough people willing to do those things with us (and in the process possibly be willing to just go staff only or at least accept full-time staff roles), then we're going to have to stick to one show.
I'm not trying to be mean, but this is sort of that "best case scenario" right now.

With #3 in mind, if people are willing to do that sort of thing, then feel free to approach us. Even if we don't get enough to expand to a second show, we'll rarely if ever turn down help.  |

That's what I was trying to say. I'm not saying you guys couldn't do it - you could - but it would be a huge burden. |

Expanding on this: If people want to be booked all the time, more people need to write matches. If more people commit to writing matches, more matches will be written. In some (maybe most, I don't know) feds, the owner(s) write the entire shows, including the segments. I look at this roster and there are some very talented people who can either write matches currently or learn from people how to do so. I understand that it sometimes (maybe even usually) comes down to a matter of time to be able to write matches (they foresee a hectic couple of weeks, etc), and that's fine. However, it's also a matter of time for the owner(s), too. It's understandable if you are unable to write matches but still want to RP every show. I just started writing matches for the first SHOOT Project show of 2013. I know it's intimidating sometimes, as well. But if you're concerned about being booked each and every show, you should be willing to write your matches each and every show (or at least SOME match each and every show). This way you're not taking away from someone else's opportunity to get a spot on the card, as well as taking more time off of someone else's busy week. If this is an issue to someone, and I'm not saying it is (I might actually post this to RoughKut), then you either need to find a smaller e-fed or reconsider the reasons WHY you e-fed. tl;dr if you to ensure being booked, help make the shows. |

(Clint here.)
Even if they're unable to write matches, those people can still contribute to angles and segments involving their characters if they're able to roleplay for every show. That's what we're looking for from people that don't write matches; participation. Participation breeds us knowing you're serious, and us knowing what we can do with your character.
It's fairly safe to say that those who contribute to the show, matches or not, are more likely to find themselves getting opportunities. If you're someone who wants an angle, get in contact with whoever you want to work with, and us so we know what you're doing.

I'm too amped up to make a drawn out post, and what SHOOT Project does doesn't matter in EXODUS for the most part, so I'm just going to say: A lot of the times, segments progress a character far better than matches.

So if you look at the new post in the Rules thread, and the addition I made to the application, we now have a soft cap of 30 competitors, with additional people being considered on a case-by-case basis. Those of you already on the roster are in the clear, obviously, as are those who we've already talked to about coming in for any length of time in the future, which will be evident when their bios are posted and we accept them with this reasoning. The only one I can state for certain right now is that, yes, Gryphon's obviously already accepted.  |
