The FAQs
1: What does GWF stand for?
GWF stand for GLOBAL WRESTLING FEDERATION.
2: How many titles can I hold at once time?
You can only hold three titles at a maximum at one time. I.E. HaRdCore, Tag, Submission. This means if you wanted to become a WORLD champ in that example, you would have to lose a title.
BUT...to be honest, it's pretty rare for anybody to get that many titles at once anyway, now that the roster is big enough to avoid it. Consider being a dual-champion something special.
3: Who's in charge of this place?
Rob aka RVD is the owner of the GWF, Dan aka GoldPsycho is commissioner, and Bobo aka Diablos is Lt. commissioner. So between the three people the whole GWF comes together pretty nicely.
4: How many times do I have to RP(role play) if I join?
We like to have some imput from you the person through your RPs. Like we take fueds by the RPs people make. But please try not to start fueds with everyone at once or you will most likey lose alot. No offense but no one can defend against 15 people. Besides, booking gets tricky when you pick eight fights at once...
5: When I join how will I find out what to do next?
You will most likly get an acceptance letter unless you contact us through AIM, telling you to join our boards and let us know by posting a topic in the MEETING ROOM board.
6: What are the head peoples AIM names?
Rob, owner is meh and Dan, commish is meh.
7: If I have private questions to ask and I need to get ahold of someone without posting on the boards, what are the head peoples EMAIL addresses?
Rob, [email protected] and Dan, [email protected]
8: What are the rules?
This question has been asked many times and the answer is easy, READ THE RULES PAGE FROM THE MAIN PAGE.
9: How often are the GWFs PPV shows and do you really have to pay?
No you dont have to pay, and every 4-5 weeks we have a "PPV" show.
10: Can I plug my own E-Fed on your message board?
NO. This gets really annoying.
11: Screw you, I'm doing it anyway!
No, you aren't. Now you're banned. :D
12: Can I link to the GWF from my site?
Absolutely. It baffles me seeing sites that don't WANT you to link them... O.o
13: i want 2 b WoRlD ChAMP y0!!1
No.
14: Hey there, I've been a part of the GWF for a pretty long time. I've RPed consistently, not complained about having to job, and been willing to go along with pretty much whatever was needed. Do you think maybe I could have a run at the top and maybe if it goes well, possibly get into the GWF title picture?
If you guys haven't gotten the idea, this last question is basically the requirements for getting a major title, especially THE GWF title. It doesn't bounce around nearly as much as, say, the WWE title, so the people who get it are usually the absolute top of the fed, so merely asking us for the belt isn't gonna get it for you. But, asking like #14 most certainly helps your cause more then #13...
15: Are there any restrictions of what I can post on the message board?
Not really...EZBoard automatically censors REALLY extreme swear words (i.e. "fuck", and I believe "shit" as well), but we won't hold using them against you. The only things you REALLY can't do are directly insult/flame an actual MEMBER, not character, or use sexual preference insults. "Faggot" doesn't make a good promo anyway.
16: What are the limitations on characters?
Well, for starters, you're only allowed one. One character. In some cases, we WILL allow you to have a "dummy" character sidekick, that is, a manager or valet that isn't actually controlled by anyone else. However, that character would basically just accompany your main character to ringside, and probably never have any matches, title reigns, etc. for himself/herself.
As for the actual creation of characters...we don't really want you to be more then about 7'5", for realism's sake. Also, when creating your moveset, making up original stuff is just fine, but nothing too unrealistic (quick examples: featherweights don't do military press slams, 800-pound sumo wrestlers can't do a Sky Twister Press, and NOBODY can move things with their mind. NOBODY. So stop asking. ;)). Another moveset thing, is don't make it too massive. There's no real penalty for making it too long, the worst thing we'll do is e-mail you asking you to cut it down a little and asking what moves you really need to keep, then chopping out the minor ones.
17: Can I use an existing pro-wrestler?
Yes. But we prefer if you put a little bit of an original twist on him...a new gimmick, some new moves or SOMETHING.
18: Can I use a game/anime/movie/whatever character?
Yes. BUT...he may end up being very different. The GWF is a relatively realistic E-Fed, so the guy would be doing wrestling moves REGARDLESS of what he actually does...NO SUPER POWERS. In other words, you're free to send Mario or Goku into the squared circle...just don't expect to be flying around the arena shooting fireballs at people. ;)
Well I hope this answers some of the questions now if you have any that arent up just email one of the head people or IM us and let us know. Hope to see you in the GWF!
