alright so only one person PM'd me, but he pm'd me twice. that man is midwesthammerfest, who pm'd both first AND second.
The (YAMMA) Pit:
Experiencing a crisis of self, an MMA fighter leaves his gym and travels the globe. A stranger in a strange land, he comes across a quaint and remote training facility, where the air is clean, and the people are friendly, well rounded and helpful. The man feels a strange sense of belonging, like he's searched for this place all his life despite never knowing it existed. After only a short glimpse of what the gym has to offer, he quickly decides this will be his new training centre.
The fighter is welcomed by the head trainer, and given a tour. As the head trainer walks him around, he weaves a rich story about each piece of equipment, and each fighter from the gym, past and present. Finally, the head trainer concludes the tour at an immense pit, located in the center of gym. The head trainer smiles, and says "This pit is by far the most special part of this gym. We purchased it from YAMMA after they stopped using it. In fact, I'd say that it's power, which came from the dying souls and melting brains of the spectators, is the reason you were drawn to this place. On any day of the week except for Wednesday, you can come to The Pit, shout any question you'd like down it, and receive an answer to your question."
Full of a mixture of skepticism and wonderment, the fighter asks the head trainer "Why any day but Wednesday?" The head trainer beams a radiant smile as a voice booms from the bottom of The Pit: "Because on Wednesday it's your turn to be in The Pit!"
The Rules:
This is like "The Well" threads from the OT, except the questions should be fantasy fighting or MMA related. Thats not to say that the person in "The Pit" won't answer any other questions that are not FF or MMA related, but they don't have to. Serious, funny, off the wall, ridiculous, anything is game (as long as it doesn't break the rules of the site). You may not like the answer you receive. And the answer doesn't have to be direct, or correct, or accurate -- for example, "That's none of your business" is a perfectly acceptable answer. However, being as forthcoming and as engaging as possible is what makes "The Well" from the OT so great, so we want the same for "The Pit".
Only one person in "The Pit" at a time.
This means no one answers questions in "The Pit" thread except the person in "The Pit".
This also means that only one "The (YAMMA) Pit" thread will be allowed to be active at any one time.
The current occupant of "The Pit" gets to choose the next occupant.
However, being in "The Pit" is voluntary. If you'd like to volunteer, you can PM the person in "The Pit" to ask to be nominated (best not to post volunteers in "The Pit" thread, save the thread for questions and answers), or the person in "The Pit" can PM you to see if you will agree to take a turn. Peer pressure is allowed and encouraged but no one can force you in to "The Pit".
