If you are writing something for Madness or Warfare, it should be written in a sense that "reality" can back it up. Sometimes people take their characters far beyond reality's believable limits in their RPs and that's perfectly fine in an RP, but in an actual show things have to bend to reality.

Or, it needs to at least be presented in a way that a person watching can come up with a theory that, in reality, would explain the otherwise supernatural occurrence.

Example:
The character known as "Table" appears and actually speaks DURING a show, or moves around? This can be explained in reality by theorizing that a person is speaking FOR the table over the loud speakers, and if the table moves on its own it can be theorized that transparent strings or fishing lines were pulling, lifting, etc... Sure, it's a bit far fetched BUT would fit in the confines of reality.

On the other hand, if "table" suddenly mutates into a giant lizard and then eats 4 wrestlers and then shits them out before flying away and spewing fire like Godzilla... it sounds more like you are thinking of what Saturday Shove It used to be like. Shove It is the ONLY SHOW we have that does not have to fit into the confines of explainable reality. Shove It has taken place in space before, on the Star Trek Enterprise with Captain Picard as the guest host. This tells you how far you can take your imagination with Shove It. That's fine, as long as it STAYS on that show only. We've even had polar bears drop from the sky, into the ring, and attack the wrestlers on Shove It. THAT is the show to explore your fantasy-based interest if you want to have it actually play out ON a live show instead of just in your RPs.

Madness and Warfare are reality based. Please keep in mind that you should write out the "stranger" happenings in a way that still allows for a realistic explanation.

If anyone has any questions about this, please feel free to ask. I'd rather it get discussed than be misunderstood.
