Joining and Roleplaying Rules.

There are certain rules to joining the GWA, and if you're not in agreement with them, then don't bother joining. These have been drawn up after the same problems kept coming up several times in my e-wrestling time.

Joining Rules

1) When filling out the join form, you may paste a roleplay from a previous federation or link one. However, if you do this, you stand a slimmer than normal chance of being accepted. Why? Well, for one, that roleplay can be anyone’s, and there is nothing stopping you from just using someone else’s roleplay and claiming it to be yours. I’ve seen that before, and believe me, you will be found out. And second, if you can't be bothered to write a roleplay to be accepted, then maybe you won't be bothered to roleplay once accepted... it’s not a risk I want to take.

2) While in the GWA, you may only be in one other federation. We prefer no others, so your full concentration can go on the GWA.

3) You must be able to roleplay at last twice a week. More is good, less is not acceptable. If you can't, don't bother applying.

4) Your character must not be a WWE wrestler (past or present), nor may it be a famous celebrity. It must be original. He cannot be a blatant rip-off of a character either, such as The Stone, or Double K Ken Karret.

That's basically it. Just a few guidelines that you should follow when joining. Now, go fill in that form!

Roleplaying Rules

1. The first major e-fed rule. Don't ever, EVER use another GWA member in a roleplay without asking. If you do, you will be immediately fired. You can speak of them without asking, but nothing else. If this rule didn't apply, there would be chaos. You could even kill a member in your roleplay, and where would that leave them?

2. No racial abuse in roleplays. It doesn't matter whether it's ethnic racism or any other. If you break this rule, you won't be fired, your wrestler will be killed and you'll never take part in this fed again! However, it is possible that I will make exceptions, depending on your character. An example of this is The Scottish Warrior, whose whole gimmick is patriotism, etc.

3. If you want a match, you must e-mail Dave with details, and make sure you submit it at least 2 days before the event. If you submit a match on the day of the event, it won't take place. If you have a serious problem with this, mail me.

4. Also, don't be ridiculous with match stipulations. Don't make them impossible to write. So I don't want to see any requests for a 27-way inferno, hell in a cell, first blood, falls anywhere match. Make them realistic. Also, don't request speciality matches such as Hell in a Cell matches for regular shows such as Tuesday Night Corruption. When was the last time you saw a Hell in the Cell match on Raw or Smackdown!?

5. Staying on the submit a match subject, if you're new to the fed or are not a very high standard, don't keep requesting a World Title shot, 'cause you won't get it.

6. Get MSN Messenger so you can keep in touch with everyone else in the fed. This WILL be required, so if you haven't got it, get it!

7. The titles must be defended. I don't want anyone refusing to defend their title. World titles are usually only defended on special occasions, but most others are defended quite regularly.

8. There are certain words I don't want you using in roleplays. These are the following-

E-fed
E-wrestling
Roleplay
And don't say things out of character. In the past, I've had people saying that their wrestler went to the GWA site and read the results. How realistic is that? Not very.

9. Everyone in the federation will be required to roleplay at least twice a week. If you do not roleplay for one week without giving me a valid reason, your wrestler will not compete and you'll be taken off the roster until you do so. However, if you have a valid reason, no action will be taken. So remember, two roleplays a week are required. When you think of the hours of effort the staff put in, it's not a lot.

10. Finally.....have fun!
