Well, guys, after three long and fun years, I think it's time we close KANJOKU Pro's online doors. We had a lot of great matches, good memories, and I'm glad it made all of us closer to each other. But it seems interest has ceased, nobody is logging on anymore, our daily roleplay sessions have now been reduced to an once a week type deal, and overall, this guild just isn't fun anymore. As much as I love it here, I'm not having fun anymore and I don't feel like putting my time into something and keep things moving on a guild that's close to dying, so it's for the best. Immediately after Evil Medieval, KANJOKU Pro is closing. I thank each and everyone of you for all the good times and even greater matches.

...NOW! What I really should of said was KANJOKU Pro is Closing Down...for renovations. Is KANJOKU really going to be buried and forgotten? Yes sir...but out from the ashes will be a new e-Federation in hopes of bringing this guild back to it's former glory. There is going to be major changes to the guild in hopes of bringing interest back to our members, bring interest to potential new members, and to overall make it fun for everyone again. Here's stuff to expect this month.
Things That Will Remain:
1. The mule cosplayers rule will still be in effect.
2. You will still need to roll dice to determine submissions, finishers, and pinfalls to a match.
3. Pinfalls will still be only allowed on Page 6 and onward.
4. Brian's 3-4 month comedy PPV will still be held. I can't confirm or deny that Larry Sweeney will still be hosting it as that's up to him.
5. Yinling will still be on-screen President of the e-Fed. Reasons for this will be revealed soon.
6. Monthly PPVs will still be held.
Things That Will Be Changed:
1. The biggest change of all is this e-Fed will no longer be known as KANJOKU Pro. Shannon and I are still planning the name and it will be announced after Evil Medieval.
2. All titles will be vacated in place for new ones. The belts will have new names and at least one of them will have a different stipulation. Every current title holder will immediately get a shot at the belt they forcefully vacated at the new e-Fed's first show with a mule of their choice, except for the equivalent of the Grand Crown title which will have to be worked for and earned.
3. There will now be a limit to how many mules you can have. Me? I'm willing to trim the fat off my mules and start off all new, but I know mostly or everyone else does not feel the same way. So I'm going to work around this to find a fair number of mules everyone can use, so there will be no complaints.
4. Not only can you play wrestlers, but you can now play mixed martial arts fighters. There will NOT be a MMA division/belt, however. This is strictly professional wrestling.
5. A new feature will be a Venue Thread. This will give you a better idea of your wrestler's surroundings at shows, how the crowd will react, pictures and details about the venue, and among other things.
6. New Roster Videos will be made when I have time. I don't know if I will edit the already made KANJOKU Pro ones, but that seems unnecessary.
7. Every feud, every roleplay session, every match? Never happened. We're starting new, everybody. However, if your character was involved in a huge noted feud (examples: Sweeney/HBK, Brodie/Sara, etc), that can still be referenced. Everything else never happened.
8. For big matches at PPV shows, mandatory pre-match interviews will be made to hype the match. Things like press conferences, weigh-ins, and even your own unique promo. Want to show your worker training at his own leisure in preparation for his match in a few weeks? Go right ahead. Want to trash talk your opponent? Bash away! Also for big matches will be post match interviews where the winner and loser will give their opinion on the outcome.
9. The President and Commissioner roles are now more important than ever and will be used more, such as offices, interviews, and their on-screen presence at shows will be more noticeable.
10. Shelly Martinez is no longer on-air Commissioner. A new one will be announced soon at random....sooo....be prepared. You could be the one that's chosen.
11. Advertising. It's something I frowned upon for years, but at this point, I'm desperate. So we'll be whoring out this e-Fed as much as we can so we can get some new blood in here. Since we're getting along well with a few members of FTMOCR, convincing some of them to join will be a great start. So much like we did in 2006 with WIF, we'll be making an official thread there to recruit.
12. Inactivity will be taken more seriously. If you're inactive and don't give me a reason why, you're out.
13. Do NOT be surprised if you see a lot of threads gone this month. We'll be deleting and moving a lot of things.
That's pretty much some of the stuff I have planned out and I hope it all works out so this guild can thrive again. If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them here, PM me, or contact me on AIM at Fighting Opera. Thank you and I hope all of you can help me out with this.
