I just wanted to touch base on something for a moment:

Use of OOC elements in a roleplay. As you all know, the use of such elements is forbidden. We're required as members of the XWF to live up to certain standards and to adhere to certain rules. Mistakes happen, and that is understandable. Sometimes the line can be blurred for some, or you may think mix up information, etc. As I said, things happen. What is completely unacceptable is the blatant disregard for our rules and standards, just so you can get a jab in at your opponent. Whether it's because you think it will give you the upper hand, or because you're mad at them for whatever reason that also stems from an OOC source.

Here are a few examples:

Knowing the handler personally in real life or online, and using knowledge gained out of character to benefit you in character.

"I can completely see why you're not up to snuff, seeing as your girlfriend cheated on you last weekend with your best friend."

That is obvious knowledge your character itself would not have if it weren't a part of the opponents in character story.

"Look man, you can tell me how you're not going to show up, but I watch you login to the website everyday and sit on the OOC board.."

Does the WWE refer to their website logins and forums in their typical promos? Not that I am aware of.

Those are the more obvious OOC remarks that are prohibited. A couple that may not be obvious to everyone:

"Your last promo received just as many likes as Guy A, thus proving that Guy A and Guy B = Guy C, you can't hide the truth from me! I checked your account registration date."

Correlating things in general isn't frowned upon. But when you begin to correlate things based on OOC reasonings that's where we begin to cross a line that should never be crossed.

Again, I just wanted to touch base with you guys and remind you that our rules and standards are in place for a reason. Moving forward, if you continue to break the the rule, there will be consequences. But the first time I'll just delete your OOC stuff and replace it with:

Remember guys, have fun and enjoy yourselves. Just make sure you're following the rules so that others can do the same.
