I am part of another fed and this was posted by the Commish and i thought it might be of Relevence here as well to help out with New comers and vets alike. I have adapted some of these for WCW while others do not pretain to WCW they will help you out in other feds if you belong to any.
1) Read the policies. This is the first rule. They are to the left under Corkboard as Fed Policies and Rules. Reading the rules will save you ALOT of time, insults, and the wrath of the commissioner. If you ever go to a new federation, read the policies there as well as each fed is different as far as HEAT, matches, and the like. (Really no Relavence here but just the same)
2) Do not copy a wrestler you see on TV. No one is going to take you seriously if you are a carbon copy of a wrestler. You are not John Cena or Razor Ramon or Hulk Hogan. Here in WCW, while we acknowledge there is 'those wrestlers' they do not interact with us. We aren't competing with them and for all we care, they are a world away.
3) Use full words. I'm not talking about Shakespear. We aren't expecting a thesus. What we are talking about is things like netspeak (for example, typing u instead of you). Not everyone has english as their first language but if you put the effort to least write, it will encourage us to interact with you.
4) One sided beat downs are bad. Real bad. They are ok when it's part of an angle or story but just attacking someone with one blow and expecting that person to respond? Not quite. If you are going to do it, make it interesting. It is easier to deal with if you do.
5) You are not championship material yet. You are brand new. The crowd isn't going to cheer or boo you like you are a superstar. You are not the most popular wrestler in the world so don't portray the fans cheering you like you are the Rock or something. You have to work your way up. You are not going to just walk in and challenge a champion. When you do, you get embarassed. Slow and build up man. Take your time and earn a good reputation. Your commissioner will pay attention to effort.
6) What happens in the sim doesn't effect the game what so ever unless it is a card. That's right. I can beat the champion on sim and it doesn't mean anything. Saying that, posting what happens on the sims in the flashboard doesn't help you at all. If that was the case, I'd have every title around.(Not relevent here)
7) Develop your charactor. How are we to know your mother beat you as a child so your wrestler is afraid of women if you don't portray it in your posts? Try to be unique. have something that makes you stand out. (Very Very important here)
9) Don't spam. Spam posts are posts that are very short that don't mean much. Add detail to your posts. Make your wrestler real. Make them human (or whatever they are). If we can understand exactly what you are and how your wrestler acts, it makes it alot easier for us to react. Adding detail and actions to your posts allows the reader to see in their mind what is happening and thus, can react off it.
10) Read every post, even if it doesn't involve you. It just might give you an idea of how to get involved but also you learn more about that wrestler so you don't no-sell them. Knowing what's going on around you is vital. The quickest way to lose someone's attention is by not paying attention."
11) SELL SELL SELL! Someone comes to the ring while you're there and kicks your ass, sell it like you was beaten unconcious......Why sell everything? Because it'll gain you major respect in this game if you do, rather than jump up and give the "I don't think so" attitude, which will earn you the "<insert name> is a little no selling bitch" title. Even if you think the angle is stupid, try it. You never know how it can turn up.
12) When roleplaying, try and be deive. Tell a "story" with your posts. Make them entertaining and something that others would enjoy reading. Often place your wrassler in situations that others can take advantage of him with their own posts. This way feuds and angles can develop. Try to have your wrassler 'lose a few' instead of always winning and demolishing everyone else in your posts. You are going to lose, how you lose is bigger than how you win.But most importantly, HAVE FUN!
13) Be consistent. Whether you choose to occupy the role of 'heel' or face; whether you're out to hurt an unexpecting peer of yours or save your stablemate from an onslaught of your opponents, be consistent. You'll earn experience, and notoriety. Remember, don't be afraid to make mistakes and don't be reluctant to enrage anyone.
14) Remember to work the crowd. Whether you're an ignorant asskissing face, or someone who actually has some INTELLIGENCE. You have to tell the crowd exactly what you think. Even when you're talking to someone, don't hesitate to throw in a comment towards the crowd. Even if I'm backstage or just walking down the street, I'll remind some ignorant wad of filth to eat a bag of **** -- afterall, you are what you eat. The biggest step to becoming a good wrestler is having people hanging on your every word. The fans, the other wrestlers, the commish... everyone."
15) Always back all your arguments up with solid logic. Make sure that your points hold water and can be backed up, instead of just saiyng "You suck!". Conversely, always remember to search for when your opponent makes a weak argument. If it has no basis, point it out! Show them how poor their argument is.
Anyone got anything else to add, just put it below
