FAQ: What type of e-Fed is this?

[Admin]

Hello and welcome. First thing that is probably on your mind is, "what type of e-Fed is this?" To fully answer that question, let me briefly explain our e-Fed history, philosophy and approach.

CreatureWrestling is one of the few 'e-Feds' on the planet developed in the 90s. We predate most e-feds out there; it is possible that an e-fed you came from was inspired by what we did decades ago. When CreatureWrestling was developed, there was no "standard" e-Fed format to base our game. Instead, mainly through trial and error, we created a unique system that, at its core, allows players to live out their wrestling lives when and how they want. Sure, there is structure, such as special events, televised events, PPVs, and moments where we have tournaments- all of that jazz- but I bet where you came from, you are used to an e-Fed that has a window to cut promos and some e-Fed staff member judges those promos. They then decide who the winner is. Then, when it comes to a point where a PPV event airs- unless you are on the writing team, an e-Fed staff member writes the entire card, from start to finish, for each player, etc.

Sound about right?

At CreatureWrestling, we're not just an e-Fed; we're a legend. Why? Because we believe in giving power to the players. We value your input and provide guidance, but ultimately, it's your decisions that shape the game. This unique approach is what has made us stand the test of time.

Our central vision is a self-sufficient e-Fed universe where your character(s) can thrive, and the community is the driving force behind the decisions. Unlike generic e-Fed formats that are overly structured and restrictive, we prioritize the collective experience and the freedom to shape our world. We're not just about numbers but about creating a vibrant, engaged community.

There are still many things that CreatureWrestling does that other e-Feds don't. You essentially post in the "Role-Playing Board"- living out your life. You still cut introductions, promos, cameos, backstage scenes, dark matches, and reality shows, which you can post without any staff telling you when and how you can do it. Our staff is here to assist and guide, not to control. You may also be writing scenes about your life in general, whether past, present, or future. Or write an ongoing saga bigger than a novel. Do what many e-Feds don't, and you will be able to create a supernatural character OR a mortal character. So you could be writing about your character's dark and mysterious life! Or participate in a main storyline that has been ongoing for 23 real-life years!!

When it comes to matches- other e-feds may do several things, such as have a staff judge your promos during a window of time that is used to determine the winner, and they control the entire match by writing it out.... if you like that, there's nothing wrong with it.

We have two dedicated boards for matches: televised content and the old PPV board. This shift reflects our commitment to providing a more flexible and manageable role-playing experience for our members.

The idea is that you, the player, book your matches with the assistance of the staff. Sometimes, a match call will be posted, and YOU will pitch the matches you want for that card. Then, the card is developed on either matchboard. This process ensures fairness and transparency in match outcomes. Then, you coordinate with your fellow players and decide on the winner by basing your decisions on what you role-play and how you want your angle/feud to proceed. Sometimes, if necessary- such as if your team cannot decide on the win or during events requiring a vote- you are then told who the winner is, and then you determine who finished the match. Unlike a gigantic one-page essay written by a staff member, the players take turns writing their matches until an ending occurs (you are given a rough time to wrap it up, which is @12 posts into the game).

See, it is much, much different than other places. It's scary just how much control you have... we must have been doing something right decades into this!! Our long-standing presence in the role-playing community is a testament to our commitment and the quality of our role-playing experiences.

So there you have it—what type of e-Fed is this? It's an e-Fed that isn't like all the others. We are all of the above. We have role-plays, parodies, supernatural/natural, matchwriting, and intense storytelling, and I am even open to adapting Discord and console game fights! These unique features set us apart from other communities, offering you a truly diverse and engaging role-playing experience.

Now that you have a better understanding of what type we are, we are a type called the Creature E-Fed.
