We get it, efeds all have different criteria, different way of doing things and playing the game.
With the exception of the Hardcore and Pure Championship matches, response-shoot is more or less looked down upon here at Action Wrestling.
What is it?
It's when you read your opponents roleplay and then write your roleplay basically saying "no, u". You don't need to respond to your opponents roleplay, that same week, with what he said-she said type of stuff. It's not fun, it doesn't make for good story, and theres plenty of ammo to go around to where you don't need their roleplay to write yours. Using your opponents PAST words are fine, that's not considered response-shooting in this situation.
This also eliminates anyone not wanting to post their RP early for fear of having their opponent use it against them. You can post early, later in the week, whenever, scoring is the same!
Why?
We feel there is PLENTY of story for you to use surrounding your match, your character, the show, and our world for you to have plenty to shoot on. With any basic search and "research" you can find plenty of ammo to use in your roleplay against your opponent whether you're starting out or coming back!
(Note: Some RPers don't read their opponents RP until after they've posted just to be sure they don't response-shoot)
Tips for success for your roleplay:
Make sure you understand the cap limit under your match on every weeks card (this does not include Cruiserweight/CruiserClash. Every match is 700 word cap no matter what).
We use wordcounter.net for official scoring. We do not use these proboards, we do not use google docs, we don't use notepad. We only use wordcounter.net.
We're looking for a tight, cohesive story from start to finish that has match relevance, great in-depth shoot and some story arc that pushes your story along! Sometimes this is easier said than done, sometimes this is flat out super easy, but thats what we're looking for.
