Hey guys, so back in January of 2018, weeks before we had our very first show, there was talk in a thread in the Action Lounge of us starting a thread for newbies that helped out not only people new to Action Wrestling, but people new to e-wrestling to understand what this awesome game we play is all about.
So with that said, I wanted to create this thread to get the input of all of you in the fed. The Action Wrestling Newbie Center will cover numerous areas:
Educating people on what e-wrestling is and how it works Educating people on what Action Wrestling is and how it works Educating people on Proboards and how to use the boards to your advantage to make your posting as simple as possible.
I work in IT and I have worked for multiple educational institutions during the early part of my career where I taught computer courses and taught how to use basic computer software such as the Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint were the focus areas).
What I want to do is to provide an area on the boards that people can go to to make their transition into Action Wrestling, using Proboards, or into e-wrestling in general as smooth as possible. This will not just be text that asks a question and then answers it. There will be videos, mainly for the Proboards section, that shows the best way to do things on here.
What I want from you all is topics and questions for educating someone on what e-wrestling is, what Action Wrestling is, and how to use Proboards. I want you guys to put yourselves into the shoes of someone new to any or all of those things and ask the questions you would ask or questions you would want to know the answer to.
This is something that will take a while, but will definitely be worthwhile.

Great idea.
I covered some of these questions recently trying to get a couple of friends to sign up. Here's a few I can remember plus extra I've thought of -
What is e-wrestling? What's a roleplay? How do I win or lose? Who puts together the show? Do I need to know things about wrestling? How are the matches written? Where do I start? How do I start storylines? How are the matches judged? What are tips and tricks of the trade?
There's just a few. I think there might also be room to give more detail of the world of AW. Is it a world where WWE exists? Is AW the top fed in the world? Where's HQ? How big's Batista's dick and what's your favourite cookie?

How does one attach a .gif into a post? I for the life of me can’t figure it out

How do segments work? Why are they important?
Feuds. How do you start one, what makes a good feud?
Character Development and Match Relevance. Why do they matter and how do I go about balancing them in my RPs?
Selling results/characters. Why it's vital to the success and goodwill of the federation.

How about a quick primer in OOC and match preparation: Be kind, be patient and try to help others when you can. Good deeds go miles more than being an insufferable thorn in everyone's side.
