Pet Peeves in Efedding

i'm old school as shit (IE, before coming to newera the last time i e-fedded was like ten years ago), so i still cling to old rules like "remember, what you're writing in an rp should be treated as a promo video that's actually airing on an actual wrestling show." so it makes me squint a little bit when people drop huge amounts of swears, nudity, sex, and that sort of stuff into their RPs, like... ok, even if it's kayfabed, if you just beat someone to death in your promo and got away with it and no criminal charges were ever filed against you or against the company for airing a snuff video, that's... kind of weird for a wrestling company to ever feature.

i also dislike long RPs that are just long for the sake of being long. we're not always our own best editors, but sometimes it's obvious when someone is trying to pad the word count out to look like they're trying harder. of course that only really gets me pissy when, you know, it works, which it definitely used to back in some old-ass feds i was in.

third peeve: fedhead world champion (edit: not a diss at roro, i mean "there's only one fedhead, not a group, and he makes himself the world champion")

When a Champion/challenger keep exchanging wins so the "rematch clause" schtick keeps them against one another for fucking ever and holds up other challengers getting their shots.

Hate that one too RoRo.

Also I'm on the same wavelength as Purity. I can tell when someone word pads too, or just adds in lesbian sex for no reason just to flesh the RP out from about 2500 words to 10000 words.

Seriously?

I know lesbian sex is a turn-on for a lot of guys. Doesn't mean it needs to be written all the time. If it's once or twice and it actually has real meaning for a character and it's used tastefully, it's fine. I've seen it a LOT though in RP's over the past few years and almost every time I see it, it doesn't further much, if anything. It's just........there.

what makes me do a snoop dogg style slow headshake is when a handler is obviously a guy who just wants to rub one out to his fantasy wrestler lady character

there's a reason purity never does anything, like, remotely sexual (match with raw notwithstanding), it's because i don't even want to be in the same room as those jokers

There are far easier ways to do that though Purity. In today's world we live in....anyone with internet EFedding has Internet porn by the bucketload. Anyone who would jerk it to a Efedding character and not some bonofied porn got some serious issues.

Pet Peeve.
Freaking Retcon!

When someone changes a established, agreed to storyline because they don';t know what to do with their character. How to work in their new choices with their past history. There is no bigger insult as far as i am concerned then to turn a character you don't play into something they are not because you "don't know what else to do to make this work"

Retcons... I'll admit I've done that. Never on anything that involved a feud with anybody. It was just a character's history. Hyde basically is one big retcon that took a lot of explaining so it made sense and I feel like I pulled it off. But I can see getting angry if somebody retcons something that two different parties agreed on. That's just not cool.

Purity's swear peeve is another trap I fall into. Over in CPW, the company has their own 24/7 channel, which is a workaround for swearing, but it still doesn't allow snuff/porn. NEW's on Fox though.

Actually, if we wanted to be realistic, Fox should be moving NEW's timeslots around and probably have canceled it a few times by now.

Retconing your own character's background isn't what i mean Hyde. I meant like, when another handled character is involved. Like, the two of you decide that they are brothers and play that way for five years, only to find out later that it was retconned and now suddenly your character was dreaming for five years, none of it was real.

the kind of Retcon that leaves you in damage control mode.

Purity's reason is why I have never and will never handle a female character.

I'm cool with female and males competing together, but I wish there weren't so many 100 lb. ladies that look like models. Sorry I can't buy Eliza Dushku or Meghan Fox as badasses.
Also, don't make them all lesbians. Most lezzies aren't that feminine, especially fighters.

Every other wrestler being a millionaire. Yes we all enjoyed watching the Million Dollar Man as kids, doesn't mean we all need to be him. If your character has so much $, why doesn't he just buy a fed?

Writers not doing the research. For instance, if you're creating a Japanese female character, make sure her given name is appropriate and not just something that sounds Asian.

Russian wrestlers that want to bring back the USSR. This has been done way too much.

Characters changing pic bases without a good reason. This is especially bad when the new base looks completely different, like going from Carlton Banks to Daniel Bryan.

Overused pic bases. Maybe it's just me, but it seems it would be harder to develop an original character when he looks like a real-life superstar. Also, if you are involved in multiple feds, you'd have to deal with other characters looking exactly like yours.

Feds either being unrealistically successful with prime time network programming, constant capacity enthusiastic crowds and routine visits from a-list celebs and heads of state, or indy feds with loyal cult followings and great workers. Just once I'd like to see a fed that's some low-end indy that runs shows in high school gyms in front of 20 rednecks with scrawny green newbies and fat washed-up hasbeens who don't give a shit as long as their paychecks clear.

For pic base, as my original e-fedding character, I used pre-punk Shannon Moore.
I have never seen anyone else use him as pre-punk.
