| What's next for the UMMA? | |
| By: umma-manager Date: March 16, 2017, 3:57 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Hi all, | |
| I'm the owner/manager of the UMMA and I thought I'd post a topic | |
| here to look at some of the things going on the UMMA and | |
| generate some discussion and whatever. | |
| Usually these discussions are between the UMMA stable managers, | |
| but I want to open this up to any other fans who check out the | |
| website. | |
| Feel free to comment on these ideas. Or add your own if there's | |
| something you want to see. | |
| - Stable vs Stable fights. We're thinking of introducing this as | |
| an extra set of fights at each event. A sort of 'winner stays | |
| on' type of contest. | |
| - The return of the UMMA Awards. We'd like to have a 2017 awards | |
| magazine and we're in the process of sorting out the award | |
| categories. | |
| - Two events per magazine. We started this last year, running | |
| two events and then a single magazine. The idea was to have | |
| content appear faster on the website. Do you guys like/dislike | |
| this? Or should we go back to 1 magazine per event? | |
| - The Stories section of the website. This was intended to be a | |
| copy/paste of all the writing that is posted here on the forum. | |
| It only has 1 story so far. Worth updating? Or ditch it? | |
| - In progress magazine. At the moment I wait until all managers | |
| have submitted content for the magazine before I publish it. | |
| What if I posted magazine content as I received it and when it's | |
| finally finished the cover is revealed? | |
| - Fighter comparison. I thought it might be a cool feature to | |
| allow you to pick two fighters and see their stat's and | |
| attribute's side by side. Is that something worth having? | |
| Cheers and thanks for hanging around with the UMMA ;D | |

| I vote for the 2 Events per magazine. It gives me more time to | |
| write articles and I believe there are more events per year this | |
| way. | |
| I would also like to add some of my forum ramblings to the story | |
| section. Do they have to be reformatted into HTML? | |
| I also like the in-progress magazine. This way you could respond | |
| to other articles and wouldn't have to wait until both events | |
| are run to see some writings. It will also allow me to write a | |
| preview for each event instead. Right now the preview for the | |
| 2nd event and the write up come out at the sane time. | |
| [font=Verdana] Are you still considering splitting the magazine | |
| into two sections, one for each event?[/font] | |

| I like what is happening with the UMMA. I think I wold like the | |
| idea of the stable vs stable idea. I could see this working | |
| maybe once every two or three months or put in a rotation like | |
| some of the regular pay per view events. Maybe even a rotation | |
| with team warfare where one rotation we have a stable vs stable | |
| and the second rotation we have team warfare. | |
| I also like the return of the UMMA awards. I tried doing this | |
| with my stables in one of my posts. | |
| As for the two events per magazine that seems to work best for | |
| me and I like the idea of the magazine in waiting idea so we | |
| could set up the second event when we write for the first event. | |
| I really like the fighter comparison. Maybe it would help me | |
| set my fighters up better. | |

| I'm actually right now writing something that I would like to | |
| add to the magazine, but isn't really a 'news' story. It's more | |
| what happens in someones mind. Yet it is connected with the | |
| other things I'll submit for the magazine. Posting it here is of | |
| course an option, but the link between the two will be | |
| eventually lost. So perhaps, I should use the story section for | |
| that... especially if it is possible to add link between the | |
| magazine and the story page. | |
| BAB asks a good question! How do the stories move from here to | |
| there? And will images migrate with them? | |

| I'll create a post for that in the Managers forum. Looks like | |
| the Stories part of the site should have added content, so we'll | |
| be keeping it :) | |

| I like the topic of UMMA awards, some of the award categories | |
| which I want to share are | |
| Best fighter, Best Debut Fighter (fighter who performed best in | |
| her debut match), Best Stable, Best Debut Stable and Best Team | |
| etc. | |
| But my question is how the winners are selected, from their | |
| performance records or from polls? | |
| Also I liked the 'Stable vs Stable fights' topic but I want to | |
| elaborate it......we can name it as 'Challenges'. A manager of | |
| one stable can challenge another stable and then some fighters | |
| from one stable will fights with fighters of other stable, and | |
| not only this a manager can challenge a single fighter too | |
| (instead of stable vs stable). A fighter is may be from another | |
| stable or from her/his own stable. | |
| For example, I can challenge another stable or I can challenge | |
| only one fighter from another stable or I want a fight between | |
| two fighter of my own stable. | |
| Please introduce this type of option where we can 'Challenge' | |
| others. | |
| I hope you will like idea. | |

| With the awards...the categories are currently only open to | |
| managers - but they will be made public at some point :) | |
| I would imagine some categories will be from polls. But, if | |
| there are awards based only on statistics - then those would be | |
| automatically determined. | |
| The 'stable vs stable' is something we're still working on. I | |
| want to make it as open as possible, but it also needs to have a | |
| consistent structure. By that I mean, I need to be able to | |
| control how it effects each event easily :) | |
