GENERAL AWA INFO

[AWA.com]

These points have been raised elsewhere, but we are doing some Spring Cleaning on the Boards to keep things tidy!



RE: 'AWA in General'
I have decided to put up a post about a few issues that can arise in efeds. Most of what i am going to say should already be well known and well understood, but sometimes we all need a gentle reminder.

I am doing this because i get offended myself when people may think that i am doing them an injustice or that the owner of this site is doing them an injustice.

we are way to old to be interested in childish games.

honestly, we are here to provide a platform for wrestling fantasy and fun, thats it. It is not real life so do not treat it as such.

• When judging RPs and making match results, we try to follow a basic rules:
  Quality over Quantity!
  That means 5 pointless RPs will never beat 1 well thought out, passionate RP.
  Well presented RPs are great, but fancy colours and text are not part of the judging process...however the effort is appriciated and should be continued by those who do so.
  Personally, i change mine up whenever the mood takes me. Somtimes its black and white, sometimes there is colour and sometimes i go mad and use bold and underline!!!
  We all throw out quick RPs sometimes, and sometimes we put out RPs that have nothing to do with anything. Thats because we are creative, we would not be here if we wasn't. I put out an RP between MJ and AJ, we are not directly feuding but i just fancied writing it. I would not expect it to count in the match i had with Ripper (i think it was after the deadline anyway!)
  But in general, if your in a match you need to know that we look for RPs that have a point and help to further progress the feud/storyline your currently in.
  If there is a 'tie' then the additional RPs will be looked at and used to help pick a winner.
  Now if all members of a match put out solid RPs, then of course 5 solid RPs will beat 1 solid RP.
  But im sure you all get the picture.
  
  
• When judging Championship matches we also follow a basic rule:
  You gotta CLEARLY BEAT the champion
  As champion, you get an advantage, and why shouldn't you? You worked to get to the spot so now you get a reward.
  To lose the title you must be clearly beaten. If it is close, if it is tied, you retain.
  The challenger has to step up and out do the champion. If that Champion is on his game, it is a very tough challenge for the er, challenger.
  If there is any doubt the champion will retain.
  But if you are the challenger, rememeber that if you manage to get the title then you will be treated in the same way.
  We have always played by that rule, certainly since the days of the BWA, that is how i directed traffic.
  Maybe if the challenger has been outstanding but still not quite piped it, then the match will end in a DQ or count out, giving the challenger the win, but not the belt. But how the match ends is down to specific sitations and storylines.
  Obviously you may see 2 guys go at it and be sure that the challenger had the win, cleary to everyone, he had the win...but he losses! Well there will be a reason for this, usually an agreed storyline reason between all involved. Or possibly the challenger has made it know that he will be absent after the match, therefore meaning he will not be able to run with the belt and do it justice.
  
  
• Why we are here!
  escapist (sp) fun
  Well it is for me. I am here 100% because i enjoy creativity and i enjoy wrestling. So we combine the 2 here.
  If anyone is here to be totally serious and allow the AWA to affect them once they log off then i would suggest trying to change your attitude because it really, really is not worth it.
  If anyone is here to act tough, to bully or to play stupid childish games (aside from the actual RPing of course! ;D ) then you need to hit the bricks because your not welcome.
  If anyone thinks that Timmy and I would waste our time running this place simply so we could go on a power trip, again you need to either wise up or hit the bricks.
  
  
  As i said at the top, we are way to old for time wasting! Combined we are almost at retirment age!
  
  Please come to the AWA to enjoy yourselves, please talk to us direct if you think something is not right but above all, please fucking realise that nothing negative at all is done in a personal way.
  
  We are actually kinda nice people, yeah really. I reckon everyone thats signed up to the AWA right now is the same...nice people.
  
  ANYWAYS...thats me done...
  
  ...peace out!
  

RE: 'DIBS'
I feel I need to post this because this has the ability to become an issue. There have been things posted on the RP boards, and, I have had a couple PM's sent to me....and I have read what has been said on the RP section.

IF YOU CALL DIBS....YOU HAVE A 2 HOUR PERIOD TO REPLY. IF YOU DO NOT REPLY WITHIN 2 HOURS OF CALLING "DIBS", ANYONE ELSE HAS THE FREEDOM TO REPLY.

I don't care if you have school, or if you feel your reply is something "between BWA guys"....the fact is, if you call "DIBS" post your reply within 2 hours or someone else is allowed to. I don't want to piss people off, but this should not be an issue with anyone. If you wanted to reply to a RP, but couldn't because someone called "DIBS" and hadn't replied to it, you would be pissed.

I am not attacking anyone, I am just using the situations that are on the board right now. As I stated, I do not want to piss anyone off....I am hoping everyone will be mature adults in this situation and be able to move forward without bitching about this.
