» MAGIC RULES :

• Most matches are determined by mortal abilities. Only when a match was designed to have magic in them can you have magic in a match. However, A spell called "Magic Lock" is placed on every wrestler no matter what style you are. The magic barrier is made when a character in-story signs on to wrestle- so no matter how strong you are in magic your bound by this agreement. The magic lock concept is to set players both mortal and not on the same grounds.

• You can use magic to introduce your gimmick when approaching the ring or confronting a player in a standoff (see more below). But once the bell rings you cannot use magic unless it was designed to be using magic.

• IF your in a match that uses magic, you MUST balance your match with wrestling moves. You cannot block every single move or brush it off from your oppoent. This is referred to as godmoding. We simply do not allow it. Additionally, using magic will tire your character out. This idea MUST be played even if your 'godlike.' If you use too much magic/magic all the time in a match you weaken yourself and must show that or the match win will default to your oppoent(s). Further discipline will apply.

• You cannot win with a magic move unless it was approved by your partner(s). Magic should only be used to enchance and excite the match.

• Default Magic rules (even out of ring):
  • You can use magic out of the ring to produce stunning entrances and even attack your oppoent: mortal or not.
  • The more magic you use AGAINST another wrestler offensively, the weaker you become even out-of-ring.
  • You cannot KO (knock-out) an oppoent using magic or defeat them using magic unless it was agreed to by the oppoent ahead of time.
  • Exaggerated physical moves are allowed which maybe based on magic but not entirely. An exaggerated finisher move must have some believability associated with your character's physical abilities.
    • Example: Player A uses a spinning tombstone piledriver on Player B. It is impossible for a person to spin a tombstone in the air before impact. But, there IS some believability and there was no magical referrence. The person doing this impossible feat cannot be a 110lb lightwieght for it to be believable. But a person with a magical background that can lift huge objects into the air with ease can.

     

  If you feel an oppoent is breaking the rules of magic. Please address to them politely in private first before asking an official for help. Most of the time, the person doing the moves doesn't realize that they are breaking the rules/going a bit too far.

» WHEN TO POST:

• There are several forums available on CW Pro and CWB4Pro. Typically, you can post at anytime in under any of the role playing boards under CW Universe if you are playing on the CW Pro board. The role playing sections are intended to be the main stage of all of your actions. This can by anywhere from backstage scenes, scenes regarding the wrestler(s) life, scenes regarding a story your doing, challenges to champions and/or other wrestlers, brawls... the list goes on and on.

• Official matches/events however are only posted by CW Officials. When an official event has been setup you post to the designated event typically under the Major PPV and/or CWE/ECT TV event forums. The only exception is the CW Infiltrate forum were you can setup your very own match with your opponet(s) at anytime.

• When posting how do you respond?
  • For matches: You first post an entrance and you usually wait for your opponet to make his/her entrance before posting a battle scene. You CAN post some fighting in your entrance but you have to wait till everybody has posted actually arriving on scene.
  • Order of entrance into a match is typically done like this:
    • If its a championship match, the challenger arrives first and the champion arrives last.
    • If nobody is champion, you arrive by the alphabetical order of your character's first name.
      For example: John Doe makes his entrance first over Vince Pain.
    • If there are multiple champions then you go by the alphabetical order of your first name.
    • You have the option to choose to arrive when you can arrive. You do not need to wait for anybody to post- including the champion. However the above order is for those that can't decide who should enter first or second etc...
    • In tournaments, there is no order of arrival. You show up when you can post your entrance.
  • Order of responding/continuing a match or normal post:
    • In all matches that are Player VS Player, you rotate your posts till you arrive to your endings.
    • In all matches that are Players VS Players (more than one oppoent and/or team mate) you DO NOT HAVE a posting order. You go by first come first serve.
    • If a player(s) posted at the same time and there is a conflict- what you do is either go by the post created first -or- use your judgment and select/combine the best possible response that can continue the storyline and/or match.
    • You cannot double post which is posting to your reply. The only exception would be if your posting a body of stories like a diary or reflection scene.
  • For matches: the typical time you post the end of your match is really up to you and your oppoents. However, endings should be the 8th post in your match if you cannot decide.

» TEAM OR SOLO PLAY:

• 1. You can have unlimited amounts of alternative characters throughout your career here in the CW, but no more than 4-6 characters active at one time.
  
  2. Alternative characters can hold titles at the same time your main character holds one- but you can't monopolize the title ranks and its expected that your alternative characters will have shorter title reigns than your main character (helps with title rotation and fairness).
  
  3. You cannot fight your own alternative character(s) in a battle for a belt.

• Players with multiple characters with titles have the same rights as two players in a tag team

» STORYLINES/ANGLES:

• Angles are story events that player(s) may want to chose to play in the game. Usually these are planned but sometimes become to boring as they are predictable. Its always good to watch what other players are doing and try to "butt" in to develop feuds or better angles. Mini-angles are usually a very short angle that may or may not help the main angle.

• The game is very random and often unpredictable. Actually that's the beauty behind the game because that allows players to surprise others and develop interesting turns-of-events. You can post as anonymous or as ????? or whatever you like to surprise others. Keep in mind, your character can be attacked without any warning. This is more of a complement because that means they want to develop a feud or angle. Keep in mind, use common sense and try not to be chaotic.

• All angles/storylines are soley the player's right to enjoy! Regardles what others may say or think. Some exceptions apply such as: racial remarks, X-rated material.

» HOW TO PLAY:

• The CW features a unique fighting style, through posts. You are free to post to anyone!
  You can have interviews, comments, promos and match ideas.

• The CW RPG Board is used primarily for role playing and dark matches. Official events and matches are held on the PPV Board and Tournament Board.

• There is NO limit to how long a post can be- however, posts that are one sentence per-post tactics are regarded as clutter and will be removed with a warning.

• There's NO true order of posting/repling to a post. Especially for more than one oppoent or partners. You can post out of order but you cannot double post (which means, repling to your own post).
  Further Explaination Here

• Promotionals and Cameos: This board is for any promos or camera shots you want todo before an event or to promote your character. These can be live-tappings or previously tapped. You can challenge here as well or bring the challenge to the RPG board.

• "God-moding"- this term represents when a player fights another player without any hurt or injuries. Seemingly, they make their character invincible. There are specific rules regarding this which are covered in detail on the Conduct section.

• Most matches are won through "player's choice" (players amongst themselves decide the outcome). However, impromptu/open matches/ordered matches will be decided either by the Admin or through a voting from the mods or from the overall roster. Furthermore, CBs can be used to purchase the win either through bidding or exchanging CBs. If all else fails and the players cannot come to a win conclusion by the middle of their match, then the Moderators will vote on the final outcome.

• Always check the post that sets up the match to see what type of a match it is and if there are any set win situation.

Role Tags:

• Role Tags are usually a title or a faction name inside of quotes that is posted after your name in the "NAME" box. You can also have combinations:

John Doe (CW Champion)

Vampire (Fighter Squad)

The Fink (Fighter Squad/IC Champ)
