I will be a man and claim responsibility for the ME issue at Damnation.
I cant reveal all of the plans but it essentially gave you guys another ppv or 2 to work out the fued, which I think would be good for OCW based on the caliber of matches.
The reason for the vagueness is what I call the "Trance Effect" essentially what this is, is that if too many people know whats going on during the execution phase there really isn't a point to watch or comment, other than the circlejerk.
So the idea is that each thing works independently and moves forward in conjunction with all the other ideas. Kind of like a puzzle each pieces is out there but once put together it all comes together for the grand picture.
The issue is my premise for the angle is to encompass OCW in its entirety. Initally I was going to do an angle and bring back Mayhem myself and a 3rd party and in essence do the Ministry of Darkness. The goal was to shift alliances, examples being Leon would help Dupree, Smythe would politic is way into something, etc. Essentially OCW vs My Squad however I got a nostalgia bug, and Nani pleaded for Lotus, and I figured after it was unceremonlinly dumped that we should try again with the same guise as doing something with everyone. The issue is when working with so many people you need to keep only certain things visible. That is where I have fallen short, I know what I want to do, and execution wise I still think it has promise.
Remember I mentioned a few times, I will be conducting a test, everything that has been done, regardless of whether its been "liked or not" has had a reasoning. The attacks where to show that OCW is vulnerable and weak, the assault on the ME was to show that even the best of the best are fodder.
The kendo and blood visual was to represent, the willingness to be down with the cause "LOTUS jumps people" Our Hero is to classy to get jumped but coming off like some kind of prophet with the blood left in my opinion an eerie and uncomfortable visual.
The hospital incident is in essence closing the chapter on what hurt the credibility of LOTUS, it was more of an in house FUCK YOU, and while it may seem extreme due to lack of news post it served the purpose to be chilling and uncomfortable. Also we had "implied Rape" "Suicide" and Robbery on Riot, and those sucked ass. The stuff going on now pales in comparison, its just whats called "haters going to hate" But unlike the haters, I am not going to get emotional, cry, tuck my tail and flake out. I am just going to do what I always do, prove people wrong and do better.
Make no mistake all angles have a start a mid and an end, we are still at the mid point. There are plenty of questions left unanswered, I'd rather not spoil it but for those of you fans with noodles rewatch Damnation, and read into what I write it might make sense to you. The goal is to involve everyone in OCW not to ostracize people from posting content.
We will do better, we must do better, watch.
I hope that clears things up a bit.
