This was the biggest undertaking I've had to date on this side of things. I hope I came close to living up to Will's lofty standards. The work you guys put in the past two weeks, and moreso the ENTIRE Bravery Trials has been nothing short of amazing!
All the matches have been extremely difficult to grade. There will be forms sent out with roleplay feedback sometime this week, but after this weekend of writing, I'm too fried for that right now. Trust that we WILL get those out to you.
Please, please, please leave a review for this one. A ton of work went into it and I'd love to hear what you all thought! You can use the suggested format or do one of your own.
And with that, I'm gonna get some rest as soon as the show is fully posted.
THE BRAVERY TRIALS: GHOST SHIP Poll On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate GHOST SHIP? Which was the best match? What was the most exciting/fun point? What did you like the best about the show? What surprised you about the show? Best segment: Best commentary spot: Best wrestling spot: Negative thoughts: Suggestions: What did you think of the overall Bravery Trials experience?
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate GHOST SHIP? 10 Glums Up
Which was the best match? I really enjoyed the main event as well as the Stratford/Knox/Helena match
What was the most exciting/fun point? The main event but I’m selfish and egotistical.
What did you like the best about the show? I could tell you really put your hearts into making it an event worthy of what has come so far. I think you have people a lot to work with story wise moving forward.
What surprised you about the show? That the Welsh is a dickbag and everyone had been on the wrong ship conjuring ghosts and stuff
Best segment: The one SOME PEOPLE FORGOT TO SUBMIT not naming any names
Best commentary spot: I can never remember this
Best wrestling spot: Pass
Negative thoughts: I’m sad it’s over.
Suggestions: We need to get better about sending in segments, myself included.
What did you think of the overall Bravery Trials experience? I was pleased with the experience and hope to come back for the Strength trials. I think you’ll be able to fine tune moving forward woth the standardized feedback forms, etc that should help as well. I do wish the word count was just a bit higher as I feel like I’m not writing at my actual ability because I just don’t have the space to write as well as I know that I am able to or tell as story as detailed as I would like.
Appreciate your kind words. Thanks for the feedback. We'll take the word count suggestion, pretend we are considering it, and come back with a "no" in a few days lol.

THE BRAVERY TRIALS: GHOST SHIP Poll On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate GHOST SHIP? Solid 10. The build was everything, and the finale was there.
Which was the best match? Honestly, was a big fan of the main event. I like dumb stuff, the main event had dumb stuff. I am all for it.
What was the most exciting/fun point? Everybody nearly getting wiped out, and Vhodka winning by the absolute sheer dumbluck was great.
What did you like the best about the show? Each match felt important. There wasn't a single one that sort of felt like an unfortunate by-product. There was a meaning behind each one, and as a result, I think some of the best work came together for it.
What surprised you about the show? Wasn't sure what to expect from the finale. I like the twist, I like the playing into the goof. More of that please.
Best segment: I had a good laugh at Chet rocking up and being chaos incarnate from the word go.
Best commentary spot: Leo just acknowledging that he'd be possessed by Penelope again.
Best wrestling spot: Narcissistic, but I do think the ending sequence for the Raven v Kane v MERICA match was one of the best WRESTLING sequences of the show.
Negative thoughts: No negative. The hard work put in to making sure it got done is far and beyond what could be expected of anyone.
Suggestions: Segments definitely good suggestion. I'm fucking ABYSMAL with writing segments. I think the big roadblock here, at least for me, is how few people know me/I knew them. Definitely something that will get better as people get more familiar, but maybe making a push for people to pick someone from their team each week to try and get a segment together done?
What did you think of the overall Bravery Trials experience? Big fan of the overall. I'm probably in the opposite, but I definitely prefer the 2000 count. I'd probably go stricter on it even. I'm a fan of tight, concise storytelling. But anyone who read my RPs will know that how I write details is kind of odd. I'm interested to see how things pivot for the Strength trials. Making each set feel unique is going to be tough, but if they are anything like the Bravery ones, I'm super excited to read. And be involved, whether drafted or not.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate GHOST SHIP? 10 tears or something Which was the best match? I don’t know… the main event didn’t make me want to jump off the ship. What was the most exciting/fun point? I don’t understand the question. I guess Vhodka winning was not terrible. What did you like the best about the show? Um… I didn’t like anything. I tolerated the pure chaos of the ship. That was something that I could stand. What surprised you about the show? The silliness. It’s sometimes a good thing to not be serious all the time. Or whatever. Best segment: Pirates. Best commentary spot: “Don’t sound so glum.” “Glum? Where?” Almost made me grin. Almost. Best wrestling spot: Wave crashing to save my clown booty. Again… silliness. Negative thoughts: If my shoes weren’t so big I would’ve won. Nickles sucks eggs. Suggestions: Do this again, but with me. What did you think of the overall Bravery Trials experience? Even though I wasn’t drafted I got to participate through segments. Waking up everyday and knowing the Trials were here made want to stick a fork in a light socket a little less. Whatever or something.

I'm very sorry for putting this off for weeks, I'm a monster, also I'm messed up on cold medicine so hopefully this is all coherent.
On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate GHOST SHIP? 10 - Seasons and monthly are like the ideal efed setup, but outside of all the match builds, the hype for the actual Ghost Ship as a location or venue or whatever and all that lore that went into it was really unique, setting as a character all that business. Also a great payoff match-wise, felt like major shit was going down, awesome finale.
Which was the best match? Main event. I've seen item retrieval matches, but never one on a haunted ship. The execution of get thing, then escape an eldritch location is a fresh spin and the execution of the action between three competitors gave everyone time to shine.
What was the most exciting/fun point? Cat catches Vhodka's hand, then Thad catches Cat's hand.
What did you like the best about the show? I wanna say the main event again, but I think Alexander Raven getting the win in the opener was a great payoff to his Bravery Trials journey.
What surprised you about the show? Even though the bookings shook out according to the scores, all the matches had some interesting drama going in.
Best segment: Welsh tires to fool PIC and TLS with a fake Triad piece.
Best commentary spot: "Blinded by the goo, LCP just made a terrible mistake and took out our ref." - MoMo. For the phrase "blinded by the goo."
Best wrestling spot: The return of the chair. Honorable mention to Alexander Raven pulling off a classic double noggin knocker.
Negative thoughts: Vhodka won, boo.
Suggestions: Don't let Vhodka win anymore. Great job writing Cat, it actually made me think I'm gonna revamp her in-ring style based on results. Also sorry for taking this long to do feedback, hopefully it will shame others into doing likewise. If you're reading this and you haven't done feedback, you are a monster.
What did you think of the overall Bravery Trials experience? I had a blast. I haven't really competed in anything like this and you guys did a great job pulling it off.
