Curious into thoughts on this?
still working on a way to figure the background, but the one rp limit has me focus more on the matches after the last few feedbacks. I'll have another non match rp starting today, but may take a month to work on as its gonna be LONG

If you are referring to PPVs (like Blast,) there is a 2 RP limit. If it's a WHC match there is a 3 RP limit. Slam is only 1 RP limit. I hope I was correct in reading your question right. Only trying to help in that aspect.

As far as the background RPs, you could also use the Internet board as a promo/interview to develop background over time, instead of having a long RP, which makes it a long read and tedious. If you develop your character that way (using internet board for 'spots') then using RP to become more detailed, and seeing your background unfold over each week will probably hold the readers attention better, and will tell the story much better. I believe this would be the best way to handling it, instead of putting all your eggs in a basket in a 'Leo Tolstoy' long RP... The story needs to be stretched out, and the 'background' will be developed into a crescendo.
It would hold us, the readers, attention better if they were over a stretch, and everyone will be interested to see what the next part of your background will be each time.
Only my opinion.. Maybe I'm wrong. lol

Maybe I'm wrong. lol i cant use the internet board for the story development. the problem with that board is the rules of not replying to an rp are also stricken from the book, so anyone like ZombieDank Morris can reply to it and outright slam, ridicule, and bash what i would post there, so I cant do that there.

not withstanding, i will post stuff on the internet board, and some of the replies to what i post can be somewhat funny, albeit old after awhile cause its the same old uncreative bash ive seen time and time again (yet so are my posts); but for the background story i need to flesh out to fill gaps in the story, i cant really use the internet board.
Maybe if there was another board or something like that, or a way to say hey, dont reply to this cause its part of the characters story, then i would, but thats the issue im having. i literally have to use the rp board to flesh it out.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up. I thought we could use the Internet board to do smaller 'spots' also. Well, now I know. Thanks for letting me know!

Yea, I'm having that issue now... Since my character was intentionally to begin as generic, totally covered head to toe, etc. But, my ACTUAL character is underneath, so I had explain some of that while RP'ing for the match. I like your idea about another board, which helps with character development. And, a board that is NOT used to mention any other character's name, but solely used to develop your storyline, background, etc.

well... the rp feds i came from, some where mix, where you'd talk about your match but story tell, one was straight shoot, so it was all in ring or back stage promo, and the other was straight story, so even if you had an opponent, it was who told the better story or addition to their story that week.
going from storytelling to shoot again is hard as fuck especially when i place expectation on myself and come to find out its a one shot weekly fed with more during ppvs as you've said.

Exactly! And I automatically got feedback about my character was boring or generic, because I was dressed head to toe in black. And, I can't divulge much, except say..well, character is underneath. It's not like I want to say, "Hey, I'm going to unmask and I am have ACTUAL character underneath." I was getting so much crap over it, and I'm like 'Dude, I've only been here for 2 weeks.. It's called a storyline to develop my actual character. Instead, of jumping on me like an alligater on a hunk of meat. I almost said 'F it' because I have enough BS in my RL, let alone get BS being a newbie and methodically trying to tell my background slowly. That is the whole point of being generically covered, so everyone can get the sense of the internal conflicts or personality of my character. I really don't know what to think.. I want this to be ALL of us in it together, and not Vets against the rookies.. I'm perplexed and frustrated about that aspect, so far.

why not just use the feedback board guys... That way you can get your story out and so forth, people look at the posts on the feedback board

Isn't that just reserved for OOC only? If we can use that board, then I can do that. But, I need somewhere to develop my storylines & character development, without using it as an RP. Any suggestions from anyone, including you Kevin, would be awesome! Thanks for the feedback, Kevin. I appreciate it.

when I first came here I posted an rp there to get feedback and people replied on it there... I may just be assuming that I used the board right lol what's the worst that could happen, they say you gotta move your rps?

Like the Internet board...lol That's how I got bombarded by Zombie, etc. So, I was like, screw, I can just jump in with the back & forth, and it will only help with practicing my creativity and make an impression that way. lol

well, during the normal shows, from what you've said, its a one rp limit, making your first rp count towards the match, not with standing, i posted three rps my first week actively on the roster. So im assuming we can still post more then ONE rp per week, but only the first one counts.

You are correct, now I think about it. But, I think the its the BEST one of any additional RPs you post. Now, you say it, that's right, you can additional RPs, but only specified amount of RPs are counted for the even. Good call, Logan.

well, ok, heres how we did it in CWE, it was best 2-3 for normal weekly shows, 3-5 for ppvs.
Obviously, here, its been set as a structure of 1 for main shows and best of for ppvs, as you have stated.
so heres an idea, as the evolution of the efeds has actually taken this route, if you werent on Gfed, you wouldnt know it.
best 2 for weekly shows, with the ruling of this: best shoot best story
again, i was told about showing the evolution of this game, and the evolution of this game comes from a story telling basis, because quite frankly, the first efeds i was in again focused on shoot.
sample:
(so and so's music stars playing)
(commentary)
(description of wrestler coming out)
(in ring promo) (sample:
"Next week, so and so 2, your going to find out that you absolutely SUCK" )
exit
with just that format alone is how i won so many titles.
the last 6 where hard as fuck because it was based on STORY
if you and your opponent played off each others rps, but told a story, it was worth the angle.
if you told a story, you got better odds against someone pulling the traditional shoot promos
most story rps didnt even acknowledge the opponent, they where used to further the growth of the wrestler.
the best stories between say world champion and challenger where left to the fed owner in terms of who helped progress it the most, etc
in the end, we all just had fun, fuck the shoot promo stuff.
no offense to anyone who basis rps on that, but i find it some what.... well ok, back to the basics i see
