Just to touch on this real quick -

I know in some other feds, there's a differentiation between "on" and "off" camera - but there has never been that separation here. It has always been that if it is in the RP, then it's "canon," and something that everyone knows and sees and is aware of.

There's kind of a weird balance in efedding when it comes to suspension of disbelief, and it comes from pro wrestling itself, I suppose. We are used to seeing spots with wrestlers where they are doing all sorts of dumb or illegal or allegedly sneaky things, all with a camera recording them the entire time as if the wrestler didn't even know it was there.

In my own writing I have always explained this away by suggesting there were XWF Drones flying around filming all of the talent 24/7.

For stuff like this, or things like flashbacks, etc... it gets a little trickier. If Vinnie has a dream, how would it be on camera, for example? If it's a memory, or anything like that. Do the drones travel through time? Do we all have neuro implants?

Regardless of that - my own personal opinions when it came to the "off camera" bit that other feds use is that I'm not a fan of it. I feel like it's a bit of a cop out and that "character development" doesn't really happen unless others can know and see that development.

If you publish it, it's broadcast on the XWF streams... whatever they are. So people see it.

Does that make sense?
