Q1 2009Work begins on TWC4.The first mod was made by MagikT. Hipnosis and Sero claimed leadership over the project (Self-proclaimed) but would soon lose it, ..they sucked too much at leading
Tomthedude commits TomicideTomthedude has a meltdown, he was frustrated by Krusher's permanent ban and took it out of Hipnosis, he was banned for his troubles ......from now on the act of getting yourself banned in this way became known as committing Tomicide
(Tony's Notes: - Hipnosis was also put in the hot seat, but the overall result caused the spam prevention rules to be created and enforced ....ironically Krusher's permaban would be rescinded and he would re-appear Tom however would not)The Spam Zone is created.Allowed TWC4 to be productive, and spammers to spam.
Tranz 9 is temp-banned.The temp-ban was only for a week, he didn't seem fazed by it, unfortunately several Mallers didn't even notice he was gone
Q2 2009EMO is banned.11 year old that disrupted the TWC4 project with excessive incompetence. Inspiration for the "Bulls-eye Baby" MPire Mall definition.
Cuey accuses 2007777 of stealing No Mercy Zone textures.Proven to be a lie by MagikT.
2007777 dies?2007777's brother and mod sidekick Twobro tells the mall that 200777 has died, he did it presumably to gauge how much The Mall really appreciated his bro's work.
Centurian (Cent) is banned. He (inadvertently) admitted to piracy. Created several accounts to plead his case.
Q3 2009Centaurian returns.He joined the TWC4 team as a 3D model and texture artist.
MagikT abruptly quits TWC4 and modding.Presumably triggered by Krusher mistakenly giving T-Neck full credit for the TWC4 guitar. He edited post to give proper credit, but it was too late.
Q4 2009MPire Mall and Encore Mall merge.Teknoman returns after a year and a half absence. he is given his own separate board on the MPire Mall
DJ Caudio returns to take over MMW Beatdown.Triggered by talks between Pete and Claudio. Resulted in EFedders Only membergroup
Q1 2010DJ Claudio is banned...........Again.Spoiled WarZone show to protest Pete's slow pace.
High Flying Dwarf takes over MMW Beatdown and renames it to MMW Rampage.Considered top choice for the revolving door GM Spot. A new intro for Rampage was created by L.A.W.
Work on TWC4 is completed.Wrestler lighting was criticised, but on the whole it is considered much more successful than TWC3.
Q2 2010Unnamed Project begins development.New Member Tony Spike, proposes the idea alongside his friends -The Original- Johnny Spyke, Joker & Rob Collins, Name changed to Wrestling MPire 2011, and then eventually WM12 Featuring TWC5.
(Tony's Notes: - I probably wasn't a big enough member for Tee to remember me proposing the idea to HFD to start TWC5 so he hadn't noted it down, i really wanted to be part of a community project since i joined soon after TWC4 was finished and thus missed it,
The name was decided to be Wrestling MPire 2011 by the admins of the project, but became WM12 Featuring TWC5 after we put up resistance to make a poll, ....i still to this day hate the name though ...its too wordy)High Flying Dwarf and Teknoman take leadership of WM12 Featuring TWC5.TWC4 production formula was errantly copied.
Q3 2010Imprimis is sighted.Codes menu music system for TWC4 Updated then promptly disappears into the ether, ....guess thats what Hangers do best Piglet.
Macbry is banned.Dangerously emotional. Had several self-pity meltdowns and constantly nagged the Mallers about giving credit where it's due.
Jester is banned.Was a spam happy, annoying freelance [entertainer]. Once impersonated Dean Malenko to sneak back into the Mall.
Joker is banned.Created an alt account, would become infamous for making several comeback attempts, problem was he always used a variation of his favourite wrestlers name as his account name, ....a certain Randall Kieth
The EFed Ultra Violent Wrestling (UVW) is created.Booked by Zarby Smash. soon becomes infamous for its bucking of several Mall EFed traditions, and its creation of the "Skype Kliq" it would however define the careers of several members including Tony Spike, Clean Cut, Rob Collins, Kenny Time and Inico
(Tony's Notes: - those "Bucked traditions" are as follows, rather than allowing the computer to sim the matches, Zarby BOOKS his matches outright, secretly subverts Mall rules to stream his fed live on UStream with a "UStream Party" before posting to The Mall .....HFD would go on to embrace both of these practices for Rampage down the line as would SPW)The MPire Mall starts suffering extreme bouts of errors.GoDaddy told HAMMER what was causing the problem... at the last minute.
Q4 2010The EFeds Nytro Hydro Wrestling (NHW) & Spike Wrestling Association (SWA) are created.Booked by Rob Collins and Tony Spike respectively
Hipnosis passes ownership of SPW to both DGran (Dave) and D3rang3d (D3).Hip wanted to spend more time improving his offline life
DGran has a meltdown.Clean Cut (Garland), had suggested to HFD that he didnt think DGran was capable of doing SPW justice, HFD created a poll that Dave took umbrage with, Clean Cut was banned for creating turbulance, as was Chupacabra (Chup) who aggressively protested the poll to get banned intentionally
(Tony's Notes - Remember the Skype Kliq i mentioned earlier, it consisted of Zarby Smash, Clean Cut, The Nightmare Ajax, -The Real- Big Boxxy Johnny (Boxxy), Hipnosis, Inico, Kenny Time, Deamon, Rob Collins, Tony Spike & Bladebeta911 (Chris) and is so named cos we would hold talks on Skype,
Clean Cut was a member of this group with lots backstage clout in Rampage creative (Thanks to his awesome play by play) and also UVW & SPW creative (as a result of being friends with Zarby and Hip) as a result when Dave's changes to SPW (Hips creation) and pace were discussed by the group....he made sure that voice listened to by HFD who was not only booking Rampage but was a site admin
Me, Rob and Chris would kind of distance ourselves from the group after this but HFD would slowly gravitate towards it)D3rang3d withdraws from SPW ownership.Withdrew due to inactivity.
Q1 2011The "Other, Other" Mall is created and Invades The Mall.EWE is created by Joker & Ddubman with Chupacabra as an admin, a few of their members would take it upon themselves to appear in The Malls shoutbox and spam, this would begin a several month long "war" between the two sites.
MPire Mall returns the favour.Tony, Dave, HFD, Zarby and a few others band together to invade EWE and post all over their boards and shoutbox
'The Real' Big Pete declares EWE a no go zone for Mallers on pain of banishment.Most people that created accounts their comply and delete them, Dave & Tony however do not.
(Tony's Notes: - I hadn't wanted to give them the pleasure of banning me so i just used to invade an unprotected shoutbox)EWE site encounters "difficulty's", Tony Spike is blamed.Tony (who had never bothered to hide his identity on EWE's Shoutbox) counters by telling them that "You think i would cause so much trouble and not make sure you KNEW it was me?", Joker seems to think he has a point
Tony convinces Dave to go over to EWE and broker peace between the two sites.Told EWE that The Mall would stop invasions. Tony however goes back occasionally over the next 3 years to talk to his old friends Joker & Dubman
Q2 2011Tony Spike joins WM12 Feat. TWC5 as project leader.Done after discussion of WM12 progress. immediately changes the name to TWC5 cos it was a "bloody mouthful"
Tony Spike restructures TWC5 development and appoints DGran and Masson (Steve) as department heads under him.Tony's goal is to streamline production by having a more concise goal in mind, so to that effect he creates a list of targets to reach and gives his most trusted coder and 3D guy the job of helping to organise the sides of things he knows nothing about (Tony is a 2D artist)
The Skype Kliq is back and 'The Real' Big Pete demotes UVW to EFed Tier 2.Caused by misinterpreted SPW criticism. seems Dave cant catch a break
The Nightmare Ajax boycotts The Mall.He was protesting Big Pete, calling him a dictator
UVW is promoted to EFed Tier 1.Done after talks with Zarby Smash. Ajax however is banned, this was seen as inevitable and had probably been brewing since his buddy Macbry was banned.
Clean Cut is un-banned.Done after talks with Clean Cut.
Simon S returns.Came back to start FedOn project that will update the original MDickie style in WM08. he calls it Wrestling Mpire HD
DGran withdraws as lead coder of TWC5.Due to criticism by the Skype Kliq of SPW and other things, he says he will still help, but is no longer "go-to-guy." Tony convinces him to stay
Q3 20112007777 returns and has a meltdown shortly afterward.Criticized the super-sluggish pace of TWC5 wrestler modding and vote participation.
(Tony's Notes: - Pace had picked up and we had done more in 3 months since i had took over than in the previous 3 years, but not a lot of people seemed interested in voting, each mod needed 10 yes votes to get in ......and its hard to make people vote)The Mall Wrestling Organisation (MWO) is (temporarily) terminated.Primarily caused by a dispute over contract time frames in the MPire Mall EFedding scene. A few days later, the MWO reformed.
'The Real' Big Pete temporarily withdraws from the MPire Mall to avoid more stress caused by the contract & MWO situation.He misinterpreted Zarby Smash explanation of his past actions as an attack, which was the last straw.
A major debate (more so a pursuit of truth) happens in the Shoutbox between 'The Real' Big Pete and the Skype Kliq.The Shoutbox confrontation was supposed to happen on Skype, but Pete and Tee decided to seize the moment and start it in the Shoutbox.
A virus wipes out the MPire Mall, forcing Hammer to ditch GoDaddy and setup everything up on a new webhost.Devistron (Dev) was the initial culprit due to posting malware, and was banned. It was discovered to be a deep, complicated server side issue.
(Tony's Notes: - Dev, also known as Devistator was infamous for his idiocy,
Highlights include but are not limited to:
Attempting a top rope bombs away on an episode of SWA Pulse, only to faceplant the canvas and tumble over the top rope to the outside, he was sent back to the MWO Training Dungeon after this,
posting a texture of his new EFed attire, marvelling at the "cool eagle logo he had found" until i pointed out that the "cool eagle" he had found was a Reichsadler, a Nazi symbol ..he hadn't even edited out the swastika, shouts of Devisnazi ring out, He was picked up by Warzone and given a Tron legacy gimmick soon after)Q4 2011Fahad FBK joins the mall and is immediately banned.Took umbrage to the idea that his "L33T" mods were crappy,and was banned for his attitude problem
(Tony's Notes: - FBK is an indian kid who thought low res No Mercy textures were good enough for TWC4 despite being 2x smaller, his facebook page was a kid in shades and full of squeeing fangirls witch shows the type of guy he was)DGran temporarily withdraws from the MPire Mall, SPW and TWC5.He set unrealistic deadlines and expectations for his own programming process, which burned him out. He was also annoyed by how the "blunt brats" act towards older members, and other signs of disrespect - particularly shown by the Skype Kliq. He later reconsidered.
Supreme Pro Wrestling is left in limbo.Its fate was left in the hands of Mikey Truth and the MWO.
Zarby Smash withdraws from The Mall.It was a sarcastic reaction to Dave's brief departure, although he was genuinely annoyed by the Skype Kliq criticism and the fact that he still gets associated with that stigma.
DJ Claudio makes a brief return, due to a flaw in the sites new WordPress ban/registration system.Despite his heartfelt apologies to those he clashed with and having changed his given name to Claudio, Warrior style, he still hadn't changed and was banned again.
Macbry returns and then gets banned again.Inevitable really
Jester returns ....actually sticks around.Jester had made it back due to the same flaw that had let Macbry and Claudio back, he is the only one who has actually changed.
