The first Synergy of 2018 will be on January 14, with the first card going up on or around January 7. If you want to be on that card, you have to let us know!
Please respond to this thread and confirm your participation to open the new year. If you handle multiple characters, let us know which are active to start the year.
A response to this thread or direct contact with myself (PM, twitter, FB, whatever) is required to be on the first card. You do not need to respond to this thread if you have contacted me by other means and confirmed your participation. You also need to let us know your answer to the question at the end of this post!
While UGWC is weekly, you don't have to be! Several of our members do this already, but we are officially encouraging that you take off at least one week each cycle. This is not mandatory, but we feel it will help keep everybody a little fresher as well as make matches themselves more meaningful. You may of course still submit vignettes or segments to a show that you do not have a match on. We take a skip week following Pay-Per-Views (this is while our parallel Chill brand runs show), and during this week you should let us know which show(s) you would like off during the next cycle.
While the Chill brand is opt-in, Synergy is opt-out.
If you are new to UGWC, please familiarize yourself with our rules. The short version of essential info would be:
Additionally, the first PPV will be Infinity, on February 11. You have a choice to make about this!
Our second PPV event, Lord of Trios, will be on March 25. In addition to the Lord of Trios tournament itself, the World Champion will be defending against two challengers on this night, and if you're reading this, whether you are a new member, a returning member, or looking to make a guest appearance, YOU have a chance at being one of those two challengers!
Method 1: Win the Global Challenge! The Global Challenge is a UGWC tentpole event, a one night tournament held annually at Infinity. Only one roleplay is required to win this event.
Method 2: Win the Round Robin! That's right, UGWC will be holding a round robin tournament throughout the months of January and February, with the exact format to be determined pending the number of entrants. If you participate in this tournament, you will be guaranteed a weekly singles match against another member of the tournament. Missing a week will count as a loss but will not disqualify from the tournament. Note: Participation in this tournament will likely prevent you from being able to take a week off during the duration of the tournament if there are an even number of participants.
Both tournaments have a maximum of eight entrants, and it is first come, first serve. Alan Wallace and Angelica Vaughn will be competing for the World Title at Infinity, all other members of the roster, including the other champions, are eligible for these tournaments. You may only enter one of the tournaments.
Good luck, and welcome to another year of UGWC!

If you are new to UGWC, please familiarize yourself with our rules. The short version of essential info would be:
- 1 official RP per week, unlimited unofficials. Only official is considered for judging match results.
- Synergy, the typical weekly show, is presented in a "SynCap" (recapped) format of various length as time allows each week. Links often exist within the show to expanded segments. PPVs are presented as complete write-ups.
- The Purse System provides monetary prize to match winners which can later be cashed in for title shots and other perks. All match participants receive a reduced purse provided a RP was submitted, so it is always worth getting something up.
