Frequently Asked Questions



What is a simmed fed?

We are a simmed fed. This simply means that the decisions of who wins or loses are based on a simulator, a computer program. In our case, we use a TNM 7 simulator that was created by Oliver Kopp. This is the best sim on the world wide web. It takes all the parts that make up your character (physical, moves, scores, attitudes) and simulates the match. When you read the cards, and see the lines of action, those are coming directly from the sim.

Why simmed over booked?

Simple really. Fairness and fun. We are here to have fun. Not everybody is a great roleplayer, this is reality. Not everyone can be a great writer. We choose to use the sim because we do not seek to exclude anyone from the fun past time that e-wrestling can be.

Why should I do better than average roleplays then?

Because the better your roleplays  are, the better your chances of winning are because we adjust your scores in the simulator. We don't exclude anyone, but we still feel it necessary to reward hard work and creativity. We all get in this game because we have an imagination, an imagination that takes form in our writing. Though we are a simulated fed we hold a high standard of roleplaying quality for an applicant to even be considered. We want the best on the net. We are a place where the best can relax and have fun. Bottom line, this is a game and is supposed to be fun and we try to make sure that this is an environment conducive to that.

What exactly is a Frenzy Rules match?

A Frenzy Rules match is basically the UWL version of a hardcore match. No disqualification, no countout, falls count anywhere. Any attacks will not result in a DQ.

What is the difference between a triangle match and a triple threat match?

This really depends on what wrestling you are accustomed to. It means different things in different places. In the UWL, a Triple Threat match is where there are three people in the match, and the first person to score a decision, wins the match. A triangle match also has three opponents, but when someone loses, they go to the back, and the match continues as a one on one.

Why wasn't my attack used?

Please understand that for some cards, we get as many as 10-15 attacks. While we would like to use them all, we feel that the quality of the show would go down. Nothing personal.

Can we make use of the CEO Beacom character as an evil owner type?

No. The CEO Beacom character has been written off to handle administrative things and count his money. He may issue edicts to assert his control from time to time, but will only show up on TV if the REAL CEO Beacom wants him to. President Denyer is the on air person in charge of operations, and any use of his character must be cleared through him.

Can I do things like hit someone with a car, drop someone from a crane, or bring deadly weapons to ringside?

No. I can't even being to count the amount of times people have come to me with story lines that have so many holes in them it would be embarrassing to do them. Creativity is good, but creativity needs to be based in reality. Keep in mind that his also applies to things that could also do long time damage that someone would have to have their character "sell".

I am working on a angle, that could last a long time, but has a lot of specifics of things that need to happen in it, like a certain match one week, a certain match the week after, etc. What should be my course of action?

Fully write-up everything about the angle such as this. If you need to involve other people to get this to work, run it by them. Be as specific as possible, especially when it comes to dates. It works out better if you have a timeline. Once all of the above is accomplished, send it on to the Front Office. They will let you know if it can work, and what they will be able to do. If it does not require Front Office assistance (special matches that have to happen, CEO Beacom involvement, etc.) then you don't need to send to the Front Office.

I noticed on the rules page that there are no "shoot interviews" allowed. What are shoot interviews?

A shoot interview would be bringing 'real life' events into your interview. By real life events, I would mean referring to a handler by name, or bringing any real life problems that you might be having with other people here into your character or into the shows. If you need further clarification, ask a member of the Front Office.

I am familiar with the TNM simulator, and I noticed on the application that everyone's scores are set to the be the same. Is there anyway for me to increase my score?

Yes, there is. We increase people's push scores a couple of times a year if based on roleplay quality and consistency. CEO Beacom also holds trivia contest from time to time over Instant Messenger, with push points being awarded to the winner. The current maximum cap of push points that you can earn is 60.

What is the application process like?

First the application is reviewed for basic things that can be spotted at a glance: Does the person use correct grammar and spell relatively well? While this may seem petty, nothing is more annoying for everyone than to have to struggle to understand what a roleplay is saying. Second, is there enough detail. If you can get through an application in ten seconds, then there was not enough thought put into it. If it passes that stage, then we go into the application itself. What kind of character is being created here? Will it succeed? Does this person seem to know what they are doing, or will they need to be watched over all the time. Does the roleplay entertain, and make you want to read it?

These are just some of the things that happen. Now, if an application is accepted, an email is sent to the person letting them know they have been accepted. They are then directed to another page, to flush out their list of moves. This is another important step because it helps to identify if people pay attention to instructions, and if they really are committed to this.

Once the move list is received, the new character is added to the roster.

What does it take to the move up through the ranks to get to the main event?

This is not as complicated as one might think. Essentially, three things are looked for. One, has the person been here long enough? There is no real time table for this, just that you have been here long enough to grasp everything, and that you are not so still new to the roster that you could vanish because you got bored.

Second is creativity. What angles or stories have you been a part of? Did you contribute, or were you just along for the ride.

Third is roleplaying. Does this person RP on a consistent basis? Are the roleplays good, or are they just a few lines and then that's it.

When you meet those things, you are given a shot at coming up. But once you get that shot, the rest is up to you.
