Glossary

• Alignment - Whether your wrestler is a face, heel, or neutral.

   

• Angle - The storyline that you're following.

   

• Bio - Your wrestler's biography. It may include his history, experience, and a physical description.

   

• Booked E-Fed - Refers to a type of fed where a booker or booking Committee decides upon the outcome of matches. The decision is often based on quality and/or quantity of interviews and role-playing interaction. Contrast with dice, gamed, simmed.

   

• Diced E-Fed - Refers to a type of fed where a dice game is used to resolve matches. Somewhat of a misnomer, since many dice games are actually resolved via computer programs. The actual distinction between "diced" and "simmed" is that in "diced" the full mechanics for match resolution are usually known to the player, whereas in "simmed" they are not. Contrast with booked, simmed. Compare with gamed.

   

• E-Fed (fed) - The actual promotion that your wrestler belongs to.

   

• E-Wrestler (wrestler) - The character that you use in E-Wrestling.

   

• E-Wrestling - Fantasy Professional Wrestling

   

• Face - Short for "baby face", a good guy wrestler. Contrast with heel.

   

• Free Agent - An active wrestler that is currently without an E-Fed.

   

• Feud - A series of match-ups between two or more aggressive enemies.

   

• Gamed - Refers to a type of fed where some kind of game is used to resolve matches. In other words, a non-booked fed. Diced and simmed feds are both gamed, as are rules sets that depend on limited knowledge, or guessing games. Contrast with booked. Compare with diced or simmed.

   

• Gimmick - The character trait or traits that make your wrestler different and causes them to stand out.

   

• Heel - A bad guy wrestler. Contrast with face.

   

• Job - In the broadest sense, to lose. In a narrower sense, to lose to another wrestler in order to get that wrestler or an angle over (see Over). Often used to mean losing badly, as in "The entire WCW was jobbed to Hogan."

   

• Original Wrestler - A wrestler which is created out of whole cloth by the player. Not a Real Wrestler. See Real Wrestler.

   

• Over - Working, accepted by the crowd (where "crowd" in e-wrestling usually means the other players). A face is over if the crowd cheers, a heel is over if the crowd boos.

   

• Promo (flash) - A short role-play in the form of a commercial.

   

• Real Wrestler - A character based wholly on an existing wrestler in real life, e.g.. Ric Flair. Most real wrestler feds tend to be computer-simmed, possibly because many computer-sims have Real Wrestler profiles as part of the package.

   

• Role-Play(RP)(flash) - Anything that is said in character, usually in the form of an interview or a promo.

   

• Rules-Based - A rules based fed is a gamed fed where the rules are known to the players. Note that most diced feds are rules-based, but that they don't have to be. Note also that most computer-simmed feds are not rules based, but that they could be.

   

• Simmed E-Fed

  Usually refers to a type of fed where a complicated computer game is used to resolve matches (e.g.. TNM, WLS). The important feature of this type of fed is that the match resolution is a "black box". The players have no idea of the underlying mechanics which govern the match resolution. Contrast with booked. Compare with diced, gamed, rules-based.

   

• Stable - A group of wrestlers that join together to form a group.

   

• Strategy (strat) - A written plan for how you would like the match to play out.
