Yea, before my computer was retarded, I was going to post what CD said. If a RP isn't on TV, how does an opponent know what is said?
Here's how I look at it: RP's with trash talking and what not are broadcast via internet or TV or whatever. An opponent gets a hold of a tape, or a friend tells him what happens, and then replies.
RP's not with opponent trash talking in it is character development. We as an audience never actually see this promo. We never know this happened.
I know it has loose ends in it. But in the imperfect world of efedding, this is the imperfect way we choose to play.

But within this character development could come storylines or mentioning elsewhere and blah blah.
It all has to be broadcast somehow.

Do opponents have to know what you say, though? Where does it say that?

They don't have to know, but it helps, doesn't it? That helps for the second dose of trash talking.

Whoa whoa whoa, you (LJ) are saying that RPs have to be "broadcast", yet you just did an RP showing a dream?
In case anyone wants to know my philosophy, I've always strived for realism both in my RPs and what I allowed in my fed, and what I mean is I don't really think about if it's on TV or not, but it should be something that could conceivably be on a show.
However that doesn't mean it has to be about wrestling. To take a real life example, I like the "Paparazzi" stuff TNA is doing.

The Paparazzi stuff is worked into a storyline and matches and stuff, though. If that wasn't broadcast, nobody would know what is going on, etc etc.

I sort of look at these as little online extras. Something like how TNA shows uncut videos and a few extras on Youtube. It's happening, but at the same time, it's just there.
Interpret as you may.

That still pertains to wrestling and the opponent..

Not neccesarily. Well, the TNA example, but sometimes WWE puts up random crap for no reason. The Mr. McMahon's Ass cartoon for example. RPs are different but eh.

I said that RP's with trash talking are broadcast, but RP's without it are just instances. As I said, we as an audience never really see it. Therefore, it doesn't really count. |

If something from that "character development" is used in another RP or something, then...
FUCK. THIS.
It's all broadcast, done and done. There is no other way around it.

Well, you see, Biggs has his own network. So everything he does, in my roleplays, are played on his network. Gotta make it fun somehow.
And, I skipped over most replies. So, if we're off the whole topic of "roleplays being on television" and moved onto something else, well, then I'm sorry.
