Idea, similarly to Le Poncho, did this review on his website without TFW knowing of it until it was stumbled across. It’s not so much a full-out review as it is a “hey, check this out” message.
Still Blazin’
by Idea
Well, finally I’m back. Yeah it’s been almost 3 weeks. But finally Still Blazin’ is back up. I’ve been backed up in homework and fed work for the last 2 weeks. But I’ve also found a lot of interesting things surfing over those 3 weeks. I was going to focus this column on “Gimmick Infringement” but that will be next week. I’ve decided to jump around a little.
The first thing I’d like to bring up is the concept of old school efeds. Whatever happened to just hardcore roleplaying, and dedicated staff, without poser and other enhancements. “The Game” has changed over the years. The question is do these feds still exist, or can they survive with the rise of poser and simulators.
Well I ended up in this fed called KNF. What makes the name funny is nobody seems to know what it stands for including the staff? KNF is an old school efed. It doesn’t even have a webpage. It functions out of a well-put together forum. With profiles, strats, and confidential communication with the staff. This fed has great quality roleplayers and even better staff. They are very dedicated to the fed, and quite good with angles. It caught my attention immediately with the size of the roster and quality of it.
KNF staff has a B.O.G. Board of Governors. This consist of 3 members. They regulate and keep the fed in checks and balances. If old school e-wrestling or maybe just great e-wrestlers is your type of efed…then definetly check out KNF.

I also came across someplace called Toonopolis! This place is “off the wall”. It has incorporated the idea of e-wrestling into Cartoon Fighting! Yes cartoon fighting. It is very creative and original idea. You roleplay just as in efeds. But there is no aspect of reality. Your character can range from: A sign, Potty Mouth and so forth. Originality is a most in Toonopolis. Your originality is your qualification into Toonopolis. If your toon isn’t unique enough it is going to be quite hard to get in. With a waiting list, you may never get in if you don’t have an imagination.
Not to mention the great site design. It includes a on-point ranking system. 4 major titles. Such as: Tooniverse, Slapstick, Drunkard and Pathetic titles. I find that the Drunkard title is quite interesting. During the title match or defense your toon has to be drunk in order to compete. Toonopolis is a great addition to the world of e-entertainment. Hopefully there may be more like this in the future.
Goddamit, the Giants lost! Well since the Giants have lost I guess NY has been disgraced and Idea will have to go home and cry. So catch yall next week.
