IMAGE TO BE UPDATED

Edit due to suggestion (thank you) Just to clarify, this game is running on XWF, i'm not plugging for another site or anything. It's just fun, one off theme games.


Hey guys, want to try a different type of RP game. This is just a for fun game, for everyone, whether you're managment, champion, retired and haven't RP'd in years. It's a no stress, no continuity, one off theme game every single time, hopefully there's enough differences here that it can appeal to all. If that isn't your kinda game that's cool. hopefully you'll read for the LOL's.

There's three types of role to get the fantasy creative juices flowing

Competitive: You will RP battle with another Character, see "PICK A CHARACTER" below
Passive: Match write. If you "in" for match writer then you'll get to pick what world the fight takes place, you'll control both characters and basically write a totally out there match with no limits. You "in" by replying here, then, when the card in posted it will be first come, first served for what you'd like to write.
Judge: More on this later in the post

TASTE THE FLAVOUR

First off there will be a different theme every game. This one just happens to be Generational Toon Wars.(and the next is Horror Icons, after that i'll be taking suggestions and polls)
There will be characters from 60's, 70's, 80's 90's and 00's cartoons
These player-controlled characters are now part of a wrestling league, and will be facing off against one another


PICK A CHARACTER (how to "IN")

Here's how it works. Below you will find a list of available characters to pick from. It's first come first served. I will update the list as people claim roles.

From that list you can post that you're "in", along with your chosen character. if you "in" without a character or "in" with a taken character i'll reply and ask you to pick another

When enough roles have been claimed i'll post to say that applications are shut.

try and pick a character you know well, or one you don't know but don't mind finding out more about (reason to watch old cartoons anyone?)


THE SHOW OF SHOWS (Or the Wrasslin' Card for all you Smarks out there)

From those taken characters FWL will post it's first card, pitting Toons against Toons, Generation against Generation, to see who comes out on top

For the first game it will likely be all 1 vs 1, we can see how everyone feedsback to the game to maybe include tags/multiman matches in the future

When the card is posted it will include a deadline that all RP's must be posted by.

HOW TO PLAY (FWL's mechanic)

Everyone will be given a WORD COUNT. You will all start with (likely) 5000 words, i may make it more or less depending on the match. Every RP (role play) you make will detract from that word count. So you could use all 5000 word in one RP, or you could make a start RP, then wait for a response, and respond to that RP. I will be using Microsoft word, a copy and paste of your posted RP, to count your words

You or your opponent can make the first RP, however you cannot then make another RP UNTIL your opponent has responded. Multiple RP's without a response i count as sandbagging, so i'm not gonna allow it.

So EG: P1 makes a 1000 word intro, P2 then makes a 2000 word response, P1 has 4000 words left (5000-1000 for first RP=4000), P1 responds with 2000 words, P2 responds with 3000 words. Now P1 knows P2 has no words left (3000+2000=5000), and they can't post more than 1RP without a response, so they can choose to respond using up their remaining 2000 words (5000-1000-2000=2000) or make it any length under that and forfeit the rest of their word count.

I will post updates sporadically (or edit peoples posts if i'm able, which is unlikely as i'm new and that's a mod privilege) with everyone's remaining word-count and maybe some ongoing commentary posts for fun.

DEADLINE HUMPING is also not allowed. If your opponent makes an opening RP, and conserves words for responses, then you don't post until the last second, using more words, and without giving ample time for a response it's Deadline Humping, and Deadline Humping is wrong, therefore banned, and you will automatically lose.
If you have not made any action to further your match you will be sent a PM with a reduced timescale, if you do not post within your new timescale you will forfeit the match. I get that real life happens, but this is just for fun, and if anyone signs up, it's just to play a more irreverent version of E-fedding . Just throw me a PM or post saying you have to back out and hopefully someone else can pick up the character and keep the match alive.

RPs are what you make them, you'll see more on how they're judged in a second, but creativity is key, within the confines of your character, make references, reference your opponent, set your RP somewhere relevant, whether it's a place from your cartoon, your opponents cartoon, or a wrestling ring, whatever. And if you've left yourself enough words, respond directly to each others smack talk.

JUDGING:

I'm going to be looking for secret judges. DO NOT "IN" ON THIS THREAD to be a judge. You can be a judge AND a player, but you wouldn't be allocated your own match to judge (obviously), just normal "in" posts for character and writer, and PM me to opt in for judge separately. You can also judge if you're NOT playing the game, as long as you're willing to follow your assigned match

The Criteria on Judging will be as follows, and is universal. Judges will need to give coherent reasons for their decision based on the three tier criteria i am about to explain

Top Tier Criteria (if there is a clear winner from this there will be NO NEED to move on to 2nd tier or 3rd tier criteria:
Content; does it reference the match? the opponent? Is the story engaging and coherent?
Stay in Character; does it sound like something the character might say?
Respond; does their RP respond well to something in their opponents last RP?

2nd Tier Criteria (Only used if there isn't a clear winner from Top Tier Criteria)
Flair and Presentation; Is the RP visually appealing? Has the Player made an effort to make their piece easy to read and flow well through coding or spacing, not just through words?
Good use of word count; Did the Player use all of their words (or as close to) did they use their word count wisely?

3rd Tier Criteria (LAST RESORT ONLY CRITERIA)
If absolutely necessary, and theres no way to pick from Top Tier and Tier 2 then...
Spelling and Grammar; i hate this one personally, but it IS a fallback when nothing else can be used, the story is more important than spelling mistakes
Timely Posts; Who made the first move? did the players give each other ample time to respond. Did they attempt to Deadline Hump to stop their opponent using their remaining word count?

JUDGES will never be revealed, even after the game ends, if a judge wants to out themselves then that is their prerogative, every match i'm hoping will have three judges.



I hope all this is understandable, if not PM or respond and i'll answer any questions/suggestions

MISC: Pictures and Videos will NOT count towards word count unless the picture or video uses words that contribute to your RP, like a gif of roadrunner running away is fine, but if the same gif had text over it saying "and this is how you gonna be when you see me" then i'd take 11 words from your word count.
Responses that use videos or pictures ONLY are not allowed, this is a creative writing game
Trying to find loopholes and ways to work around the rules, instead of working to the spirit those rules were intended, could end up in you losing your match
OOC questions, queries, and comments should be SEPARATE from your RP, and clearly marked as OOC posts
Aftergame chat while the show is getting put together will totally be open, i'm hoping we can all chat and have fun about what everyone has wrote. I've specifically made the first game something funny so we can all have a laugh and settle in while kinks are worked out and new things added before trying a more serious theme.


THE ALL IMPORTANT CHARACTER LIST!

It's first come first served people... what character do YOU want to be? (manager roles mean they'll accompany that person to the ring in the write up, so you can behave as if they're your manager in RP if you want to)

Curious who made the graphics... (specifically the characters in the circles) or were they found online? I think they have a certain subtle attention to detail that's missing from much of today's graphic work, which is why I ask.

'I don't know,' she said, tucking the covers around me, 'I guess He just got tired of all the bullshit'

RICK AND MORTY CLAIMED BY BLACKWATER - Thank you for taking part Smile

Note: please make sure you signed up as the account you will RP as so it doesn't get confusing

Vinnie, sign up anyway, it's 5000 words, likely over a course of weeks, and you know you're only expected to reply once your opponent does. It's so low energy, but just fun, as a one off game.

As a side note, i'm also adding FIGHTING GAMES THROUGH THE AGES on to the proposed calendar of themes. But if this takes off i could see Ol' Vinnie there about getting a sub-forum set up for a few different threads, including suggestions

Hah! Misunderstood, if it's held here we could just identify by title or some other means. I held the Great American Character Swap, no need for adding more work to Vinny's schedule, just indicate who you write as.... in some way that is known.

TOMMY PICKLES CLAIMED BY BRIAN STORM

It's new to everyone.

After we have enough people sign up, i'll put up a match card, So Tommy Pickles might be against Skeletor, so you RP as Tommy, going in to face Skeletor Tongue

I'll be updating either your RP (if i can edit) or in a post, making sure people keep up with how many words they have left to use. There's no RP limit, only a word limit, and a few rules regarding sandbagging and deadline humping outlined in the post above.

As this is a choose a character game it's really low hassle. If you need to backout we can just post and have another person take on the character, so they'll hopefully be very little to no no-shows

If you need anything more clarified in general let me know Smile
