EPW Roleplay Guide



Longer roleplays are not necessarily better roleplays
If you drag on and on in a roleplay the reader will lose interest and will eventually stop reading your roleplays all together. Keep it fairly long, but DO NOT over do it.

Do not make too short of roleplays
Just as in the case of too long of roleplays. There can also be TOO SHORT of a roleplay. When your roleplays are too short, then they also do not hold the reader's attention because there is nothing there to grab their attention!

Keep vulgar language down to a minimum.
No one wants to hear endless swearing. Besides, if you read it outloud to yourself, don't you think it sounds pretty stupid? Think about it...when in real life do you ever see a wrestler swear. Not many do, and when they do they keep it to a minimum. Even Stone Cold keeps it down to a minimum.. sometimes.

Have a good subject to your roleplay.
When you blabble on and on about many different subjects in one roleplay the reader tends to get lost and eventually loses interest.

Create scenery for your roleplay.
Be creative with your roleplay. Make it like you are in the locker room or at your house drinking some beer. Adding scenery to your roleplays help the reader understand where you are, what your mood is, what your attitude is, and who your whole wrestler is.

Don't make too many roleplays for an upcoming match.
Once again, when you make too many roleplays for a certain match or too many in succession, the reader begins to lose interest in you and your character. Save that roleplaying ability of yours for another day. If you use up all your new ideas in one day the next day your roleplays will most likely all sound the same because you have used up all of your good ideas!

Don't hurt another wrestler or federation employee in your roleplays.
First of all, this is not a way to make friends in a federation, and second, you are basically breaking the roleplaying rule. If you want to hurt another wrestler in your roleplays do it verbally, and make a fool out of them.

Find your opponents weak spot.
Many a wrestler is tempormental when you arise certain subjects in your roleplays. For example, if your opponent once lost to a jobber for a long time, feel free to mention that in one of your roleplays, make him feel stupid, make him get angry, because all the anger will only hurt his ability to make a good roleplay against you and will cause him to make mistakes. The key to roleplaying is out speaking your opponent and i guarentee you, if you hit a weak spot of theirs, you will definitely do it.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE A HEEL!(Bad Guy)
I've been in quite a few feds where there was only one heel or someone the crowd dislikes, and that has been the president copying Vince McMahon or Eric Bischoff. It is great to have the crowd on you side but how are you improving your skills by using only crowd favorites. There is a lot you can do with Chris Jericho and Rocky Maivia. For one they both are already built up for you, much easier than having to roleplay with Goldberg who has no persona at all.

*Check your roleplay for spelling or grammar mistakes*
A roleplay with a bunch of misspellings not only looks stupid, but it makes your wrestler look bad. You might be meaning something else, but because you worded it wrong, or spelled something wrong, they got a different message from you, and might cause you to look like a fool.

Practice, practice, practice
Do you think anyone has become an E-Fed legend over night? I don't think so. The only way to get better at roleplaying is by doing it! The more practice you get, the better all around e-fed wrestler you will become...guarenteed!
