PART ONE - HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I HAVE A MATCH?

The "Promotional Area / Tour Dates" board is the second board on the forums. There I post new subjects with the date of the show and what matches are on the show. Just look at the topics and see if you are listed as having a match and who your opponents and/or partners are. There can only be 10 matches (no more than that) per show and tag matches counts as two matches. Sometimes I add matches in after I post the initial show if there are not 10 slots taken up already so check those boards often to see if you are booked for a match.

PART FOUR - ALEXANDER RITTER IS LIKE VINCE IN WWE OR JEFF JARRET IN TNA RIGHT?

No, lots of people get mixed up on this. I own the fed, and I play the role of the wrestler "Alexander Ritter" but the wrestler Alexander Ritter doesn't "own MWA" in an "on screen" or "In character" sense.

The character "Alexander Ritter" is just another wrestler just like you and doesn't' have any ownership in MWA. This is a list of the "on screen" and "in character" MWA staff and some pictures and description on several of them: miwrestlinga.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=information&action=display&thread=2

How to Write an E-Fed Wrestling Roleplay

Welcome to the world of online fantasy wrestling! Many E-Feds have their own standards on what makes a good roleplay, but there are many things you can do on any forum to create interesting characters and readable segments.

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:

* An account with an online wrestling federation
* A character
* Time to devote to writing each week.

Step1
Create an account with an online wrestling federation. From there, you can join a federation. Pay careful attention to the rules and requirements, so that you are writing often enough and are aware of the options you have for character development. You may be able to write role plays, short bits called segments which will be featured during matches, and add commentary to the matches themselves.

Step2
Example of a character. Example of a character. Create your character. Take into account whether your character will be a face (good) or a heel (bad). What is your character's gimmick? You can create a realistic character or one that is more dramatic and outrageous. Is your character serious or funny? If you are looking for a challenge, try creating a character who uses a special speech pattern or accent, or using an inanimate object with a narrator. The more gimmicks you give a character, the more challenging and fun the writing will be.

Step3
A good angle for a roleplay is a desire for a prestigious title. A good angle for a roleplay is a desire for a prestigious title. Decide on a storyline. This will be what you use to write a role play around. For example, maybe your character is looking to join a stable, or is offering to create an alliance with another wrestler. Maybe he or she is looking for corporate sponsorship. A good storyline will allow you to produce several role plays and will give you ample opportunity to develop your character.

Step4
Family drama on the e-fed forums! Family drama on the e-fed forums! Put your role play together. A role play is anything that will further your character development and push a storyline. You could format the role play as a scene in which a character talks to a camera, or an interview with a television or radio personality. Diary entries, scenes from the character's home life, public service announcements or even sponsorship ads can be considered a role play. Be creative, and try to use a variety of formats from week to week. As a beginner, you may simply start out by discussing how you are going to dominate the upcoming match. If you do not have a match that week, your character could lament that he does not have a match. A more experienced role player may have a whole back story to develop.

Step5
No matter what format you are using for your role play, remember to always use it for character development. In addition, a good role play should also work in the feelings or thoughts about the previous week's match, and a mention of some sort of preparation for the upcoming match. If you do not have any matches you can discuss the past or upcoming event in general. If your online federation had a television show and your role play was "shown" on air, would it make sense and add to your story line? Keep that in mind as you write.

Step6
Try to make your role plays continuous from week to week. If your character is looking for a sponsorship deal one week, have him woo another large company the next week or the week after. Continuity makes for a good story line, and it also helps you come up with ideas more easily.

# A good role player is a good reader. Read everyone's contributions and take note of what you liked or didn't like. Try to learn from more experienced role players.

# Make friends with other role players. It will be easy to form alliances and feuds which will benefit your writing.

# Remember that you and your character are separate entities. If someone's character wants a feud it doesn't mean that they don't like you. Chances are they like your writing style and would welcome the opportunity to play off each other's role plays.

I doesn't have to be a huge novel, a lot of good rps are less then 500 words, talking about the match. Just use the words wisely. I mean, sometimes you see Triple H or someone on TV talking for 15 minutes, but a lot of times it's more comen to see someone giving a one minute interview before their match.

PART SIX: WHAT IS A HEEL AND WHAT IS A FACE?

You know.. I think I've had at least five people ask me this and/or post on their bio that they didn't know what this was. I'll break it down:

Check it out:

Heel = "bad guy"
Face = "Good Guy"

I don't know if you watch WWE, but like.. Jon Cena, Batista, and Jeff Hardy would be "faces" because the fans like them.

The Miz, Edge, Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, Randy Orton would be "heels" because they fans don't like them, and they usually do "bad guy" stuff like attacking people from behind and cheating.
