Poll: Which one describes you? You do not have permission to vote in this poll.
I usually try to play along with anything and everything, and am able to use it to my advantage because it gives me even more material to work with!	66.67%	12	66.67%
I usually will try and shoot down gimmicks, no sell attacks, etc... I'm more of a "handler vs handler" type of guy than a storyteller	5.56%	1	5.56%
I'll usually play along as long as it's not TOO over the top sci-fi or unrealistic bullshit. If it's over the top, but the person is good at making their influence felt IN SHOWS (not just RPs) I may be more likely to play along instead of crapping on the gimmick	22.22%	4	22.22%
I have a very specific outlook I'm describing in my reply below...	5.56%	1	5.56%

(04-22-2020, 02:10 PM)The Hired Gun Said: I'd say it depends, in the federation I was in before here, you selling the other person was part of your rp grade. So basically you sold each other, you sold the match, and then you sold why you were going to win. Here it's always been more about tearing down each other, or at least that's how it has always seemed to me. So while I have sold beat downs here, to me the "gimmicks" have always been fair game and I always tore those to shreds in a heart beat. And I always got back as much as I gave so that just seemed like it was always the XWF environment.

Yes, it is very much an XWF thing in my experience too, but it's always made me curious why that would be the go to. Most people I've talked to 1 on 1 about such things usually say they pretty much just went along with it, or that it's how it already was, etc... lol I have yet to find a person who can tell me they came up with it, or that they even have a great time doing it. It's usually just a case of rolling with punches, from what I can tell...? They get into a habit of rolling with it so much that it becomes the strategy even when the opponent doesn't RP that way, which in turn may convert that new person into doing it too as a defense, etc... etc...
