Y'all crazy people are crazy. Back in my day, when I could sustain an efed run longer than the duration of a pensioner's erection (we're going back to late nineties/early naughties here) our way of dualling was totally different. If you're finding it difficult catching people online for a 'live' dual, then try dis approach:
1. PM one another briefly and set up a scenario and desired final outcome for the 'dual.'
2. Okay, let's get writing that 'dual.' One person takes control of the situation and is the primary writer (The Pimp). The secondary writer (The Bitch) feeds off the primary writer's direction.
3. The Pimp will write out the majority of the RP, from beginning to end, including all of The Pimp's own dialogue, descriptive text, and anything else in order to quickly get over the point of the RP, even if it means writing parts that The Bitch would traditionally write. So, using Bane/Monarch as an example, here is how I might write my part of the dual. Zero input from the other handler here at this stage:
4. I send that to Tate and he fills in any details, and changes any bits he doesn't like.
And there you have it! A dual! Pretty much every dual I've ever written (promos, Chris Cairns Shows, Freeview Preview segments) have all been written this way. It's far more convenient than trying to catch someone on MSN and then have to go through that whole nightmare of TATE IS TYPING A MESSAGE for up to fifteen minutes at a time.
So remember: You got The Pimp and you got The Bitch.
BILLY'S ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL DUALS
1. PM one another briefly and set up a scenario and desired final outcome for the 'dual.'
Billy: Hi Tate. Fancy doing that 'dual' between Bane and Monarch? They will end the dual in agreement that they will face each other at the next show, in a pie eating contest.
Tate: Cool beans, your highness. Just write out your bits, then send it to me for anything I need to add.
Tate: Cool beans, your highness. Just write out your bits, then send it to me for anything I need to add.
2. Okay, let's get writing that 'dual.' One person takes control of the situation and is the primary writer (The Pimp). The secondary writer (The Bitch) feeds off the primary writer's direction.
3. The Pimp will write out the majority of the RP, from beginning to end, including all of The Pimp's own dialogue, descriptive text, and anything else in order to quickly get over the point of the RP, even if it means writing parts that The Bitch would traditionally write. So, using Bane/Monarch as an example, here is how I might write my part of the dual. Zero input from the other handler here at this stage:
Bane is in his dressing room when Monarch walks in, inexplicably wearing a thong.
Bane: Ah, we meet again. What do you want?
Monarch:
Bane: Well I'm afraid that's just never going to happen. I would never take you on in a mud wrestling match.
Monarch:
Monarch gets in Bane's face, the two men sizing one another up.
Monarch:
Bane: Is that so? Well, I disagree. How about we face each other in a pie eating contest instead?
Monarch likes the sound of that, thinking it over before nodding.
Monarch:
Bane: Okay. Bye.
Bane: Ah, we meet again. What do you want?
Monarch:
Bane: Well I'm afraid that's just never going to happen. I would never take you on in a mud wrestling match.
Monarch:
Monarch gets in Bane's face, the two men sizing one another up.
Monarch:
Bane: Is that so? Well, I disagree. How about we face each other in a pie eating contest instead?

Monarch:
Bane: Okay. Bye.
4. I send that to Tate and he fills in any details, and changes any bits he doesn't like.
Bane is in his dressing room when Monarch walks in, wearing a diamond encrusted crown and thong.
Bane: Ah, we meet again. What do you want?
Monarch: Bloody fuck you. Mud wrestling match next bloody week. Me and you.
Bane: Well I'm afraid that's just never going to happen. I would never take you on in a mud wrestling match.
Monarch: You bloody will. I'm the Glass Ceiling bloody.
Monarch gets in Bane's face, the two men sizing one another up.
Monarch: You're just a n00b.
Bane: Is that so? Well, I disagree. How about we face each other in a pie eating contest instead?
Monarch likes the sound of that, thinking it over before nodding.
Monarch: That will do. Bloody bloody bloody.
Bane: Okay. Bye.
Bane: Ah, we meet again. What do you want?
Monarch: Bloody fuck you. Mud wrestling match next bloody week. Me and you.
Bane: Well I'm afraid that's just never going to happen. I would never take you on in a mud wrestling match.
Monarch: You bloody will. I'm the Glass Ceiling bloody.
Monarch gets in Bane's face, the two men sizing one another up.
Monarch: You're just a n00b.
Bane: Is that so? Well, I disagree. How about we face each other in a pie eating contest instead?
Monarch likes the sound of that, thinking it over before nodding.
Monarch: That will do. Bloody bloody bloody.
Bane: Okay. Bye.
