The Extreme Wrestling Association is a unique and different E-Fed where angles and in-depth storylines overshadow feuds derived strictly from roleplaying. In the EWA, roleplaying is used to develop and advance storylines while still helping to decide the outcome of matches on a much lesser extent. However, do not believe the common misconception that roleplaying does not account for anything in the EWA. Hard work and dedication overall decides the destiny of your wrestler's career, and what better way to prove your level of dedication than to roleplay when it is not asked of you.
Before joining the Extreme Wrestling Association, consider the following:
Being in the EWA is a team effort which places a large responsibility on the shoulders of you, the handler. (Who, for shits and giggles, we'll call Clayton Handler.)
On a weekly basis, you are expected to:
a) Complete a Pre-Match Interview before Tuesday, to be used on Heat.
b) Keep in contact with Tom Stone and your opponent to plan your weekly actions for Heat throughout the entire week.
c) View the Angle Discussion Board constantly and keep active with what's going on in and out of the EWA.
d) Check your E-Mail constantly (Once a day if possible).
Those are the required weekly actions that you must fulfill to stay an active EWA member. If you have the time and desire, you may roleplay. In the EWA, we don't force you to roleplay, but keep in mind that roleplaying can help you succeed in the long run.
The use of E-Mail forms in the Extreme Wrestling Association is very common, and at the same time, highly important. Whenever possible, use these forms. All the forms contain most of the necessary vital information needed, and they give you a significant break - avoiding direct contact with Tom Stone, and/or his CANADIAN RAGE!
It is important to always include your E-Mail address in the form.
"To Be Described On Phone" aka. (TBDOP) is NOT a suitable means of communication. Vince, you fucker… IT'S IN THE RULES NOW!
If at any time you experience any trouble using these forms, copy the required information and send it to Tom Stone via E-Mail.
Attempting to join the Extreme Wrestling Association is a much more complex task to complete than those of other E-Feds. By making the entry process difficult, it helps us to evaluate your dedication to this type of E-Fed, while at the same time, giving us a good idea of what kind of skills you have when it comes to arranging an angle.
If you wish to join the EWA, follow this procedure:
a) Fill in the proper contract associated with the type of wrestler you wish to bring into the EWA.
b) Write up a roleplay on the Roleplay Board. This will give other people an idea of your skills and judge whether or not you're talented enough to work with.
c) Post a message on the Angle Discussion Board stating that you are a new wrestler looking to enter the EWA. Explain a bit about your character, and leave your E-Mail address and other contacts. (ex. ICQ #, AOL SN)
d) If you think you've come up with a good entrance angle, E-Mail Tom Stone and explain your plans. From there, Tom will help you smooth out the rough edges. If you're struggling in finding an entrance angle, contact the EWA Head Booker Nick Diamante.
After your angle has been accepted, create a timeline describing your weekly actions for each Heat card. Send the timeline to Tom Stone, who will once again help you smooth out the rough edges. Any changes in the timeline are to be reported to Tom Stone as soon as possible.
Don't bother attempting to sign an EWA Contract if you don't plan on staying active… unless your name is Justin Mazzoni, which is the only exception.
Every week Tom Stone will E-Mail you asking you to do a Pre-Match Interview for Tuesday Night Heat. Carefully follow all rules stated in the E-Mail and return the interview by Monday night at the latest. Keep in mind that Pre-Match Interviews are more important to your wrestler's success rate than a roleplay is. Failing to roleplay means nothing. However, failure to send in a Pre-Match Interview puts you one step closer to having your contract terminated.
For the most part, termination is determined by you, the handler… Clayton Handler. If you follow the rules stated, and show that you actually give a damn about your role in the EWA, chances are you'll never be fired.
Should you quit the EWA prematurely, be warned that we will continue to use your character until the angle is complete.
If you ever are fired, it will happen via E-Mail, over ICQ or AOL, and not on the Angle Discussion or Roleplay Board.
If you need time off for whatever reason (ex. Vacation, School, Work, and/or Gothic Herpes etc.) E-Mail Tom Stone BEFORE you take the time off. It would be nice if you also posted a message on the Angle Discussion Board to inform your fellow e-wrestlers that you won't be around for a while BEFORE you leave. We are stressing "before you leave" because it is common for most people to inform us when they RETURN, which is an ingredient for Canadian Rage.
Even though roleplaying is not as important in the EWA as it is in other E-Feds, some rules need to be obeyed nonetheless:
- You are not allowed to use any wrestler/character that is owned by another handler in the EWA, unless you have their permission.
- You may use any of the EWA Interviewers (The Informer, Vic Canon, Eddie Sensation, Rob DiMarco, Rachel Stevens, Chris Myers) in your roleplays. But you are not allowed to attack/mistreat them in any unreasonable manner.
- Use common sense when choosing font sizes, colours and when using pictures. Also, do not post background music (midis, wavs, etc.) in your roleplays.
- You are allowed to post roleplays on your own page and link them on the EWA Roleplay Board.
- If your roleplays are long enough that they condense, or they're linked, anything goes when it comes to the visual display of your roleplay (font sizes, colours, images, music, etc.)
Breaking any of these rules will result in the roleplay being deleted and the possibility of Dave Carter coming to your house in his DFA Pimp Van, taking you up to a scaffold, DFA'ing your ass off it, then lighting you on fire... AND YOU'D HAVE TO SELL IT!
In conclusion, the Extreme Wrestling Association takes a lot more time and dedication to be in than you other typical fed, no matter what their rules say. This isn't the FWF… you have to earn your status as a champion by proving you've got a mind for the sport, and not that you've got the ability to sit down for 3 days straight and type meaningless roleplay after meaningless roleplay.
There's an E-Fed... and then there's the Extreme Wrestling Association. What do you wanna do with your spare time?
