1. As a Handler, you are responsible for any and all posts made through your accounts. This involves OOC (Out Of Character), Show Roleplays, Backstage Threads, Twitter, Discord and even PMs. Any Racially, religiously, or sexually inappropriate remarks/images made towards another is prohibited. This is mostly for OOC stuff, but also keep it within reason, in character as well. This is a game that we all love! 2. Absolutely NO Flaming, Harassing or Trolling on these boards. This includes OOC boards and PMs. It looks bad to all members. Any post seen as such will be deleted and you will be PM'd about it. If you wish to become nasty and unwilling to listen, you will be asked to leave, if you refuse you will be banned from the boards. You get ONE warning on this before banishing starts. As stated before: This is a game! No one wants to play if they are gonna get attacked out of character.3. Respect the staff members. We are humans and working hard for you guys. We probably will make mistakes from time to time. If you have a problem please message Management and we can discuss why a decision was made. If we need to rectify something we can do it in storyline and in severe cases edits. This includes- but is not limited to- match outcomes, match finishes, title shots, title defenses, storylines/segments approvals/denials, and bookings.4. Spam on the boards will not be tolerated. All spam will be deleted and if it continues will result in SUSPENSION or REMOVAL from PWS: Apex. This includes- but is not limited to- unapproved advertising of other e-feds, posting repeated posts in areas they shouldn't be just for post count, and other repeated posts that are for no reason. We will probably have some games going for you to play OOC, such as "person above you" or "last one to post wins" etc... repeated posts in there are fine as that is kind of the purpose of the thread.PWS: Apex Wrestling is an original character efed that “wins and losses” are determined by roleplays. How you win will be determined by how you manage your character. (ie: Heels may win by cheating)Reminder: Have fun. If you do not think you can follow this rule then you should leave. This has to be fun for everybody. Bullying will not be tolerated.1. Wrestler Rules:[/font][/u][/b] This means no real life wrestlers (ie: CM Punk). If you wish to base them off a real life character feel free to, but please add your own personality to the gimmick. AND PLEASE DO NOT GO RIPPING OFF OTHER WRESTLERS AND JUST CHANGE THEIR NAME![/ul] [/font][/ul] 2. Roleplay rules and requirements.[/font][/b]As a general rule of thumb, Riot rps will have a 300 minimum and 5000 maximum where a ppv match will have a 500 minimum and 5000 maximum. Most matches will only have a 1 rp limit (for tag team matches it will be 1 rp per character or 1 joint rp) - this may be raised to 2 per person for big matches if all participants agree to it. THIS MAY CHANGE. Please refer to your match thread to confirm your word/post limits. Any rp's posted below the minimum or above the maximum WILL NOT COUNT. And trust me, we hate to not count your hard work, so please word count before posting. This is merely for our own sanity. Who wants to read 15,000 words from multiple people and judge it?”it will be 11:59:59 PM Eastern the day of the deadline. If you post after the deadline it will not count unless some special circumstances are agreed upon by your opponent(s) and staff - and will be publicly posted on the boards somewhere & social media.[/ul] [/font][/b] Please proofread your writing before posting. We can see when a post was edited... So please do not try and trick us. Any posts seen to be edited after the 15 minute mark will, unfortunately, be disqualified. It's an easy rule, and the preview button is there for a reason.[/ul] [/font][/b] If you do your best that is all we can ask for. We are not worried about the quantity, Quality is what counts. Sandbagging is frowned upon and can result in you losing matches if a frequent occurrence. Graphics and pictures in roleplays will not help you get a win, but are allowed. You put in your best effort, so we can reciprocate it.[/ul] [/font][/b] While it may not be your personal view, please remember that what your character says will be seen by many others. That being said, Do not say something to just be controversial because it will only get you so far. If your character is against women’s wrestling that is fine be sure to keep it out of OOC forums and make sure its not something that will overly offend[/ul] [/font][/ul] [/ul] [/font][/b] Members of Management and Staff will also be needing permission from an Admin. Backstage Interviewers will not need permission just remember. No harming or ambushing any member of Apex staff without Permission from an Admin. If you are unsure if the character you wish to use is a backstage personality or not, please contact a member of staff and we will be happy to help you. If you do get permission to use someone else's character, Please Notate your RP, that you have permission to use another wrestler in your RP, so that we know.[/ul] [/font][/b] What this means is check your spelling and grammar after you are done writing it up before you post it. Things like this can cause you to lose points because if we can't understand what you wrote then we can't give it a fair grade. You won't lose a lot of points for a few spelling or grammar errors. But if it gets to the point where we struggle to read the roleplay because of extensive errors... you will begin to lose points.[/ul] [/font][/b] Extending on that last point, roleplays are judged on the following components - in order of importance-[/ul] [/font][/ul] [/ul] [/font][/ul] [/ul] [/span] Spelling/Grammar - We aren't going to be spelling/grammar Nazis. But, everything has spellcheck and even grammar check, especially on Google Docs and Grammarly is a thing! But, as long as it doesn't take away from our understanding of the roleplay, you should be fine. If every other word is misspelled... you will have a harder time winning.
[*]Character Development - This is where your creativity and originality should really shine. When we read, you don’t want to have your character feel like it is just one dimensional. Be creative, but also realistic. A creative scene can edge out a close rp that is not as creative. Your character development should be relevant to your match. CD for the sake of padding your RP can cost you.
Overall the Breakdown of our voting system:
Entertainment Value: up to 10 points Match Relevance: up to 10 points Spelling/Grammar: up to 5 points
BONUS: Character Development: a possible extra 5 points tacked on to your overall score
