Hello everybody,and let me be the first one to welcome you,to Aces of Pro Wrestling.
We are,a serious community,still fresh and green,but with your help we'll grow stronger and stronger.In order to maintain,a good and respectful community around here,we must follow some basic rules.The rules,that I'm going to list,are not only forum rules,but RolePlaying rules etc.Please read it,it WILL help you a lot.
JOINING INFORMATION
In order to join our mighty family,you should post an Application,at the "Roster Application" Category.There,just fill the required info.You should also,post a Biography at the "Wrestler BIO" Section,and you're set to go.
In your signup,please change your display name,to your wrestler name.
There will be a monthly PPV event. It is CDCW Mandatory Rule that ALL SINGLES titles are defended at PPVs. Owners of multiple titles will do multiple matches.
ROLEPLAYS
1. The staff of the APW will not censor you in your rps...all rp styles are welcome.Trashtalking,storytelling.It's all good,but PLEASE do not make 3 mile long RPs.
2.This is an ORIGINAL fed only. You can use pictures of wrestlers, but the name, bio, characters and finishers HAVE to be original. Also note that you can't ask a staff member for thier opinions of your match as it can lead to hard feelings and thoughts of favoritism.
3. You cannot use another member/wrestler in your roleplay without their prior consent. Staff will check if permission has been granted. Permission is only needed if the wrestler talks or is physically attacked. You are, however, allowed to have someone acting as the wrestler (if stated in the RP). The roleplay that violates this policy will be deleted and discounted. Constant violation of this policy will result in your termination from the APW.
4. RPs will be judged by the staff members on a 'Quality over Quantity' basis. However remember one simple rule. If you are involved in any form of a tag match, there must be a roleplay posted by BOTH or ALL members of that tag match. Not both in one rp, at least one posted from each person, under their own name.
5. Roleplay limits are as follows:
5 RP limit per week, unless agreed upon by both parties for more or less)
NO MORE than 2 RPs in one day. Any subsequent RPs will be deleted.
Sunday RPs will NOT be counted unless you have RPed earlier in the week. This is to avoid sandbagging.
6. As a common courtesy to all, all times mentioned are Board Times. The clock at the top of the fed will be the exact same for anyone, no matter where in the world you are logging into. No time zone converting needed.
7. The maximum for roleplays in a week will be 5. But the roleplay max for a tag team match is 10. That means 5 available for either guy. Remember the rule that both members have to post a roleplay during the week otherwise your team automatically loses the match.
8. Segments are allowed and appreciated, they help the card results, but there are no added points for a segment. They are merely there for the progression of storylines, introductions of characters, etc. this is a rule set forth to encourage RPers to find the right balance of length and quality, it can be more beneficial to have a back and forth battle with shorter RPs than fewer detached long RPs.
9. PPV rules remain the same as Execution rules.
10. Win or lose, make sure you have fun. Of course everyone likes to win but it isn't always possible. This is just a game.
DEADLINES
1.The deadline for roleplays is 11:59 AM BOARD TIME Sunday to give the staff a chance to put together a quality show to broadcast on Monday Night Execution or the Pay Per View.
OOC
1.Personal fighting will NOT be tolerated on the APW boards.If people have a problem with each other in real life settle it off the boards via PM or elsewhere. WE DO NOT TOLERATE DRAMA IN THE APW!!!
MATCHES AND CHALLENGES1. The APW is a booked fed. However we will take all challenges into account and consideration as long as they don't interfere with current storylines. It is much better for advancement and stops people who like to dodge and avoid matches, as well as freeing up the wrestlers to make their own matches and feuds. You may also request matches by PMing staff.
2. If you are booked in a match that you are not happy with please do not complain. There is always a reason behind the staff booked matches.
3. There is a match limit of 1 singles match per card, unless it is a Pay Per View and your wrestler holds multiple singles titles. In this case, the staff can either force you into the same number of matches per titles held, or have one match with all titles on the line in some fashion..
4. Anybody who fails to RP for an advertised match will be subject to disciplinary actions as follows:
1st No Show - AUTOMATIC WARNING. If you contact a staff before Wednesday to say you can't RP that week, you will be exempt from the suspension. Sometimes, something comes up last minute. It happens. Contact Staff and we will work with you.
2nd No Show AUTOMATIC 1 week suspension.
3rd No Show Possible suspension leading up to but not short of TERMINATION.
SUSPENSION AND BANNING1. The staff of APW may take disciplinary actions as they see fit to include suspension or banning or people who violate the rules.
2. Anyone found using the APW boards or system (boards, Private message, or mailing lists) to advertise their site without the expressed consent of the APW OWNER will be subject to account termination, and find themselves banned from APW. We will also contact the Forumotion staff and have your ablility to use thier systems terminated as well. Forumotion does not condone spamming and hacking of their sites.
3. You must be a member in good standing with the APW before we will even consider allowing you to place your efed on our affilaites boards. Trying to do so on your own is also considered spamming and advertising.
4. The APW punishes spammers with suspensions and possible deletions for continued disregard for the rules. Remember that this is just a game so don't ruin it by spamming.
ADDITIONAL INFO
1. Staff will judge RPs after the deadline to ensure all RPs are included in their decision.
2. If you have a problem please let the staff know so it can be dealt with quickly. If the problem is keeping you away from APW (e.g. close family death) please PM staff and your character will not be booked in any matches.
3. In the event of the forum having the 'Too Many Connections' error the deadlines will not be extended.
4. Results will be posted under the "Results" thread of both Execution and the Pay Per Views.
5. Please understand that as a core staff of two, We try to handle things in whatever way we can to make everyone as happy as possible,until we find more staff members. But we need to be given the chance to do that. Simply getting upset and leaving is not going to solve anything.
6. Don't complain about results. Your rps are here to entertain and push a competitive way of thinking and acting in the APW. They will never be biasedly judged, they will never be altered, we believe in a completely level playing field here. Remember our only way of the roleplay life here:::QUALITY OVER QUANTITY!
