ABOUT SWA
**********
[/li][li] Right now we have one show a week, until our roster starts to pick up a bit.
[/li][li] Pay Per Views will be held monthly, as it is in most feds. They will be scheduled accordingly..
[/li][li] You may not join as a real wrestler, it is highly looked down upon. You get more respect if you make an original wrestler.
[/li][li] Two characters per person, and a tag team counts as one character. Make sure to contact a staff member about any tag team you will be using. Sending them all the details about them.
[/li][li] If you get fired for any wrong doing of your own, your characters will be taken out in a way that makes sense for storylines. This means losing titles, putting someone else over, getting injured, etc.
But I am a pretty laid back guy, so you shouldn't have to worry to much about getting fired. Don't push me though!! lol

MESSAGE BOARD RULES
*******************
MESSAGE BOARD RULES
*******************
[/li][li] Register to post with the name of your character, or otherwise make sure your RPs are marked as to what character the RP is for.
[/li][li] Post roleplays in the areas designed for them, and Out Of Character comments in the OOC board.
[/li][li] No flaming on the OOC boards. If you have an OOC grudge against someone for some reason, PM Steve Marlay, or another staff member, and we will try to solve it.
*****************
ROLEPLAYING RULES
*****************
ROLEPLAYING RULES
*****************
[/li][li]You may not mention or make reference to any other Efeds.
[/li][li]Your RP MUST be longer than 20 sentences.
[/li][li] You may only do 1 roleplay on the day of the deadline. You will not be permitted to do 2 or even 3 rps on the final day of roleplaying!
[/li][li] The interviewers for the fed must not be injured or attacked in any roleplay without Steve Marlay's permission.
[/li][li] You must roleplay at least once for every match you're given, per character. If you have 2 characters, RPs using one character do not count for the other and vice versa, unless it's a tag.
[/li][li] If you don't roleplay for your debut match, you're going to be removed from the roster. I'll let you rejoin ONCE after that, but if you fail to roleplay again, then you're out for good. For existing members, you can miss 2 matches without giving us an excuse before you are shown the door.
[/li][li] Roleplays will be judged on content and not length. I'll warn you now, I personaly hate super long RP's when they get very boring, and have no entertainment value in them.
[/li][li] No In Ring roleplays. The show hasn't happened yet, so how can you do a roleplay for a show that hasn't happened yet?
[/li][li] Deadline is Midnight GMT on the night before the show. PPV Deadlines will be specified accordingly, as will occasional house shows.
[/li][li] Segments for the results are encouraged to be done by you the rpers...however, the staff is very creative and can come up with a segment for you if you just ask politely and they aint in lazy mode!! lol
[/li][li] No killing anyone in your roleplays AT ALL! It's kinda lame and simply not very clever.
[/li][li] No excessive swearing in your roleplays. Roleplays are done with the idea that a camera is on you from the beginning to the end. If you were watching WWE or TNA, you wouldn't see them just dropping F-Bombs and cussing the entire time. So keep it as real as possible.
[/li][li] The roleplays done by characters should not be taken PERSONALLY! If you do take them personally, then contact Steve Marlay to talk about it. This is only a game and people roleplay IN-CHARACTER and are only portraying their respected character and are not making comments towards you as a person. Situations will be dealt with accordingly, however if you message the person being negative towards them on the boards then punishment(s) will be severe.
[/li][li] A person should not respond to a negative comment about them on the boards. By responding, you are inviting a flaming war and that's unacceptable here. By responding yourself, you undermine the staff's authority and ability to take appropriate action and YOU will be punished for this yourself.

STORYLINE RULES
***************
STORYLINE RULES
***************
[/li][li] If you have a storyline you'd like to do, contact Steve Marlay, or another staff member, and the person(s) you'd like to do it with. If we, and the other people involved, agree to it, we can plan it out more. Interferences, promos in the results, etc. Wins will NOT be decided by storyline unless the staff have spoken with the involved parties before hand. We do highly recommend everyone chip in and give us your ideas. They will help to keep everyone entertained, and keep things fresh around here.

RULE VIOLATION CONSEQUENCES

RULE VIOLATION CONSEQUENCES
***************************
[/li][li] Everyone is held to the same standard in SWA. That goes from the owner down to the guy who just joined. With that in mind, I have devised a standard of discipline that will be handed down at my(steve marlay) discretion. As owner, I have the right to alter or change the following as I see fit.
[/li][li] - 1st Violation - Warning 1 - You will be warned of a rules violation. It means nothing other than you have been warned and all staff members will be notified as well.
[/li][li] - 2nd Violation - Warning 2 - You will be warned again of a rules violation. A second violation is NOT a good thing, as the whole of the staff will be watching your every move and post, putting more pressure on you to keep your nose clean. This is the LAST warning before actual discipline.
[/li][li] - 3rd Violation - Suspension - You will be suspended for a week and job the match you are currenttly booked for. If you have a title, and it is up for grabs in that match, you will lose the title as well. You will be expected to change your ways in the week of suspension. It is up to YOU to straighten up and fly right.
[/li][li] - 4th Violation - Fired - If we have to go this far, you are probably too much of a pain in the ass to put up with anyway. At this point, your contract with SWA will be voided, and you will be removed from the roster and banned from the site until you have proven that you deserve another shot.
