So you've been accepted to Planet Wrestling. Congratulations! But after reading your aceptance letter, you're probably still asking yourself "what now?". Hopefully, the following information will help answer some of your questions.

You've been accepted as a new addition to the Planet Wrestling Roster. First off, there's a number of things that you should know and remember (I know there's a lot here, but ALL of it is useful and important!):

• Your e-mail address will be added to the Flash / mailing list with the next update. This takes some time on occasion, so please be patient.
• DO NOT release any roleplays until your e-mail address has been added to the Flash / mailing list. You'll know it's been added when you receive a "PW Update" message.
• Your character(s) will be added to the Roster with a coming update, unless you requested otherwise in your application. Please be patient.
• You're expected to keep up with what's going on in the fed, at all times, unless you're on a vacation (and have taken the appropriate steps to notify the Co-Presidents of this).
• Since you'll be receiving a lot of e-mail, you'll be expected to keep your InBox clear enough, such that you're able to receive all incoming PW messages and roleplays.
• You'll be expected to roleplay for matches. Remember that competition can be fierce in Planet Wrestling, so please don't expect to win all of your matches.
• Roleplays are to be sent out via the Flash link, which can be found on the main page.
• When sending anything out to the rest of the fed via the Flash link, it will be your responsibility to make sure that you send material to ALL of the e-mail addresses inclued on the mailing / Flash list. Sometimes, some browsers or whatever have trouble sending messages out to more than 50 addresses at a time. If you have this problem, then you MUST make sure that you send your material out as many times as is necessary so that it is sent to ALL of the addresses on the Flash / mailing list. Furthermore, if you DO have to send out material more than once so that it reaches all PW members, then each time you send the material, you must make sure that Rob Michaud's [email protected] address is included in the list of addresses. If this requirement is NOT met when you're releasing roleplays and you're caught on it, then the offending roleplays WILL BE DISCOUNTED until the roleplay is sent to everyone.
• Please read this, ESPECIALLY if you have trouble getting a mail window to pop up when you click on the FLASH link! Some people with HOTMAIL accounts (and a few other account types, too, I think...) have trouble with sending messages via the Flash list. If you have trouble getting a mail window to pop up when you click on the FLASH link, please read this. Since I always want you to be using the Flash list to send roleplays and communicate withe the entire fed, you'll be having to copy the addresses by right-clicking the Flash link, copying the info and pasting the addresses into your HOTMAIL window or something of the sort. IF you can't get all the addresses to fit into one sent message, then you'll have to send your messages multiple times to get all the addresses sent to. IF you have to do this, please make ABSOLUTELY SURE that Rob Michaud's [email protected] address is in each one of your messages sent to the federation. If this requirement is NOT met when you're releasing roleplays and you're caught on it, then the offending roleplays WILL BE DISCOUNTED until the roleplay is sent to everyone. Let me know how this all goes, and if you encounter any problems...
• Remember that any criticism offered to you by PW staff is meant only to help point you in the right direction and make you a better player. Nobody's perfect, so take any criticisms as friendly advice, and try not to get discouraged, angry or insulted, remembering that we're only trying to help.
• Don't expect to get title shots right away, or even that your character will be involved in the title chases. These things take time.
• For your first match, to get you started as soon as possible, we often suggest that you have your character partake in a jobber match. If you choose this path, Planet Wrestling will book you against a jobber opponent for your debut match. You are guarenteed to win a jobber match, but whether you look good in it or not will depend on how you roleplay. Don't roleplay at all, and your character stands the chance of looking foolish. Furthermore, it is suggested, that if you have the ability to write your character's debut match, that you do so, following the guidelines described though the links that can be found by clicking here. If you decide that you'd like to have a debut jobber match, let the Presidents know, and be sure to tell them whether or not you'd like to write your own debut match.
• If you're new to e-wrestling or roleplaying altogether, and even if you've been around the e-wrestling world for a while, I full suggest that you take a look at the following sites: Jeff Berry's "Wild World of e-Wrestling", PW Roleplaying Advice, Jeremy Odessa's "The Dungeon E-Wrestling Training Center", The Keening School of Grappling Arts, as well as "more advice on roleplaying" (I especially reccomend that you read the PW Roleplaying Advice page, as it offers advice that is directly relevant to roleplaying in Planet Wrestling). All of these are valuable resources for learning more about e-wrestling in general, and how to be a successful, roleplaying e-wrestler, and they have information pertinet to those new to e-wrestling, as well as for e-wrestling veterans. If you're really keen, you may want to check around the 'Net for other such sites that offer insights into e-wrestling and tips about e-wrestling roleplaying. Good luck!
• If you've read over the Rules page, the Welcome page, you've taken the PW Orientation tour , you've read through the information contained in the links above and still have questions, look over the FAQ page, to make sure your answers can't be found there. THEN, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask them.

I know that's a lot to process, but once again, let me be the first to welcome you to Planet Wrestling. I wish you luck and success with your new character(s) and I hope you enjoy your stay. If you ever have any questions or anything, don't ever hesitate to ask them to me via e-mail. I answer almost everything as soon as I'm able (and if I don't answer, it's usually because of my forgetting to...). Best of luck in your PW career. Hope to hear from you again soon,

-Rob Michaud (PW Co-President)

• If you've been accepted for a match writing position, you should be getting to work on your first assignemnt as soon as you can, but BEFORE you even think about starting it, you should be reading over the information contained in the links on Planet Wrestling's Writing a Match page. You may also want to look at past cards, to get an idea of the kinds of things we look for in a match. After you've done that, THEN you're ready to start your writing assignement.
