| We definitely don't want to leave you all in the dark about what the OSBWL is. So here are a set of rules and regulations to follow by. We've tried to make this as easy as possible to help clear the air around the OSBWL, what it is, and what we do. |
| Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) Q. What does the OSBWL stand for? A. The OSBWL is The Official Smash Brothers Wrestling League. Q. What does the OSBWL do? A. Inspired by the Official Pokemon Federation and the Nintendo 64 game, Super Smash Brothers, the OSBWL was opened by KrazyNick8 in 1999. The OSBWL falls in the category of an "e-fed." Basically, what happens here is wrestlers (you) join the fed and set up matches with other players. To win matches you write Roleplays, the winner of the match is generally the person who writes more Roleplays. You can then put titles on the line and try to climb your way to the top of the ladder. Q. How do I make matches? A. There is a quick form on the Fight Nights page to fill out, read the instructions there. Once you send it in, we'll email you and your opponent back to confirm the match. Q. What's a Roleplay? A. You know in real-life wrestling, when the wrestler walks out to the stage with all the fireworks and fanfare, announcing how he's going to slaughter his opponent? This is pretty much what you try to capture in a Roleplay. Basically, try to write a good long Roleplay (RP) by envisioning your wrestler on a TV wrestling show and trying to capture it in words. You know, "I'm gonna kill you, yada yada yada." The trick to winning with RPs is to say that again and again, but finding more creative ways to say that general thing every time. Write good, long, and often to win your matches. On match morning, we go over everyone's RPs, checking for quality and length, use our special scoring system, and then we determine who wins. It's as simple as that. Q. What are titles? A. Titles, or belts, are how we show who are the dominating members of the fed at the time. By putting belts on the line (you can challenge belt holders) you can try to win them. Good Luck. The more belts you have or have had, the more respect you earn.

| Fundamental Elements of OSBWL 1.DO NOT WHINE! This element cannot be stressed enough. You whine you got into a bitch match, where I give someone a whole bunch of weapons and tie your screaming ass to a steel pole, then your opponent beats you senseless for...well as long as I can write humorous results for it. 2. We use angles here. For those of you slow on the uptake, an angle is a storyline. This can include rivalries, vengeance, etc. For example, my drive to utterly destroy Ethan Hunt/Jim Raynor etc. is an angle. The TripleHHH/Stephanie McMahon thing was an angle. Thus you might have to lose a match to keep the story interesting. Live with it. Good rewards come to those who wait. 3. Reporting-If someone say, hacks your AOL account, report him. If someone beat your sorry ass silly in a match, and you report him, we own you plain and simple. 4. DO NOT USE SOMEONE WHO IS NOT IN YOUR STABLE IN YOUR ROLEPLAYS! Let us say that Darth Vader is taking on oh, Han Solo in a match. Darth cannot write an rp where he beats the snot out of Han and vice versa. This includes "holograms" and "dummies." Only the results writer may write any sort of scenario of the fight. 5. GIVE YOURSELF MATCHES YOU'VE EARNED-Do not walk in here thinking your the greatest thing to walk the Earth since Jesus Christ. If you're a rookie asking for a world title match this is what will happen-You will enter a match with me and I will crush you like the pathetic insect you are. The only way you can have an ego trip is if you've earned an ego trip by kicking a lot of ass. 6. NO ETHNIC SLURS-Please, don't make me kill you. Because many people will be gunning for you if you insult their religion, gender, race, sexuality, national origin. 7. If you want a match challenge the guy-PLAIN AND SIMPLE HERE PEOPLE! 8. ANNOUCE YOUR VACATIONS!-If you lose a match where you didn't rp, and then you say you were on vacation after the fact, both presidents will get pissed off. Now the Rogue has a short temper anyway, but if you've pissed off Nick, you're in for a world of hurt. This is a sorry excuse, so ANNOUCE YOUR VACATIONS. That way we won't put you in a match. 9. DO NOT SPAM THE RP BOARD. Do not advertise your fed, post stupid messages to be a jackass, or just insult someone without leaving your name. Believe you me, a lot of people will be angry. If you wanna spam, just use the OCC board. This includes Test Images as well. 10. If your roleplay looks like a piece of sh!t you put together in two minutes, don't even post it, because you'll be wasting your time. Anything that looks like crap goes. Roleplays can be brief, but they better make a profound point or something because crappy roleplay=deleted roleplay. 11. Just follow these rules and you will kick ass. And trust me, you disobey the rules once, the Rogue will make sure you don't again. If you disobey a major rule twice(such as reporting) you are in for a world of pain. |

| How to Write a Good Roleplay Writing a good roleplay doesn't take much work if you know how. Basically the trick is to look relatively intelligent, not to look like a thirteen year old idiot that just learned his cuss words, and to insult your opponent in a witty and profound manner. 1. Swearing-A couple of swears peppered into the roleplay is not a bad thing. Saying the f word every couple of words is gonna make you look like an idiot. Believe me, I've seen some, and I've done some myself, that make me look like I said above-a thirteen year old dumbass that wants to swear to look cool because he just learned how. Swearing doesn't make you impressive. A few words here and there can make you look good, but you need other elements besides the seven words you can never say on television(For this list, I reccomend getting it off Napster. It's by George Carlin) 2. Variety-This is key. The same introduction for every single roleplay you write gets old after a while. JustDJR did it, but eventually I never paid attention to it because the body of his rps were so good. But if your bodies suck, then your intro should change. USE VARIETY. You can use "trademark" elements in your rp, such as using a Stone Cold theme and finsihing by saying "Because Stone Cold Said so" But especially if you're using custom characters like me, you need originality. 3. Content-One of the best things is to use your opponents roleplays against him. Take elements out of there, and use stuff from his past matches to insult him and show the people that you can beat him. On the same note, give your opponent things to work with as well. This can be difficult, but you eventually should be able to. Don't use lame stuff against him. If the Rogue roleplays against you and he smokes in it, don't go back at him saying ciggarrettes are bad for you. That's all well and good, but if I'm writing an rp I can provide you with better stuff. It's up to you to find it. 4. Music-My best advice to you is to use some nice wavs. I generally use mp3s because of ease, however most won't be able to hear them unless their on a cable modem or higher. Use music that fits your theme. For example, I like to use stuff like Rage Against the Machine especially, but sometimes I weave in stuff from other bands like "The Last Stop" by Dave Matthews, "Darkside" by Crazy Town "Judith" by a Perfect Circle or Stupify by Disturbed. Your tastes are up to you. But sometimes I find that someone using a pokemon coming into Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff or Nookie is WAY out of place. 5. Quotes-Having some oneliners can help. Examples "Cuz stone Cold said so" "I AM THE GAME" or my own "Know the Name, Know the Game, only yourselves to blame." Smart and wit works well here. 6. Develop character. Let's see, you need to find a base to work with, a character with a history, personality and habits. For example, I'm the Rogue, from the Wastelands. I focus on revolution, bringing down fed government. I'm not a socialist, but an anarchist. I fight with Hardcore Rules, using an arsenal of weapons. I'm from the wastelands. Most real wrestlers have some sort of backstory, and if you use custom you have to do it for yourself. 7. Grammer and spelling-Making it look like a college paper grammer wise than a third graders essay will make you look better. 8. Use smarts, and use big words, but don't inflate yourself to much. Use big words to scare your opponent, describe in detail how you're going to turn his face into dogmeat. Use some vulgarities if you must. But whatever you do, don't inflate your ego. Use your history in the fed to make one, but if you have no history, you have to work with something else. If you have big achievements in other feds, like world titles, use that, but don't say you've won so many matches somewhere else, nobody cares. Show how you'll win here, show that you can win here. 9. Length-10 lines ain't gonna cut it. 60 at least, but don't make a 1000, otherwise you might fall into the trap where you just ramble on and bullshit the last 800. Make a tight, well written roleplay and make sure the audience knows that you have the power to beat the guy. Of course remember, he'll probably be doing the same thing, so do your best to find an edge. Remember-everyone has their own style, so find your own. The best way to improve is practice and good writing. -The Rogue |
