Can I make a suggestion and see how everyone feels? Steve included.
Thinking about Horizons, our biggest show of the year, and the fact it's placed so inconveniently close to Christmas (I inherited the date, no blame here). Historically people tend to get bogged down that time of year (especially those of us in retail or foods services etc), some struggle to RP and match writing can be a struggle on top of posting.
Could we perhaps lose the Synergy on December 8th and have an extended week for match writing for Horizons to ensure the best chance of volunteers and quality matches?
We'd still have a substantial Horizons run up, and bear in mind the 'Road to Horizons' pretty much takes place from the beginning of Battleground Month, and if we had the Horizons Promo deadline be the Saturday it would have been for the show on the 8th gives people an extra day to write promo's and the match writers obviously gain over a week to produce the best Horizons possible.
Also means, bar the match writers the roster would be able to enjoy most of December without worrying about writing posts.

Going with that idea is about the only way I could almost guarantee Id have time to write a match for it.
But Ill go with whatever is decided.

False. We had the chance to change this when we formed UGWC and you insisted Horizons remained as the flagship event and stayed at the end of the year, you boob. If anyone "inherited" it, it was me. So nyah.
Anywho, I get what Wayne means when he suggests five seems excessive, we usually run an extra Synergy during the lead to Horizons given that it is our "Wrestlemania" event and many if not all of the feuds can benefit from an extra week of build. I think one year we even had six. I know that sometimes we have even shorter leads, but that is generally because the event we are leading up to has a structure that lessens the need for individual feud development, like the Massive Melee, or in the case of WrestleStock, where the "event" is multiple shows in itself. Outlast, for example, is typically a four show build, one to announce team captains, and three weeks in which the other three titles that won't be defended at Outlast get a spotlighted title defense.
That being said, I'm really indifferent to the suggestion for Horizons, either is fine for me. If it's going to work better to drop a Synergy and after the extra week for writers, that works for me.
We're also talking about November/December and it's currently July. I blame B for being impatient and wanting to see the schedule, but I'm sure Wayne blames Ad, because yes.

D'oh! I'm going to miss the 7/28 and 8/4 Synergies. I think my plane lands back in N.C. on the 2nd, but I plan to still be in a carne asada coma, so...

The issue of the December 8th Synergy was never settled, and particularly for pacing purposes, needs to be resolved pretty much immediately. If anybody has any strong feelings either way, now is the time. I'm leaning towards having the skip week.
Idea: instead of that last Synergy, we plan a "Horizons Preview Show" instead. Just in case someone needs an extra bit to get in for whatever reason, they can put it in there. Otherwise it'll just be a quick blurb featuring the Knowledge Llama and/or Err Bear talking about the scheduled matches for Horizons.
