Self Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 As the guy who let TCW die the first time, it would be wrong of me to not be in this. I'm sure Edd Stone has recovered from falling off of that cage by now. Although... With Edd's coming of age story already told, perhaps it's time to move onto another of the C-Verse's infamous characters. Two months sounds great.

Comradebot Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So is this a brief return of the infamous TCW efed I've heard about?

Irish Wolf Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 As the last champion in TCW it would be wrong not to show up and bring back the title to the fans who helped me gain the championship in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 [QUOTE=AfRoMaN36;466568]Edd Stone is GOD!![/QUOTE] He certainly evolved into a very fun character. I'm just not sure he has anywhere in particular to go, arc-wise. Sure, he could go after some belt, or enemy, but without some kind of subplot to write to, I'm pretty lost. Edd went full circle last time. He came in as some punk kid, the black sheep of his family, and through acceptance from the fans and from a loyal tag partner, he was able to discover the best part of himself, and be at peace with that. Did he get the belt? No. Did he get the girl? No. He didn't need to. I like how my story of Edd came to an end. I'm apprehensive about fiddling with it. ([I]Don't worry newbies. Very few people write in the depth I talk about here. Hell, reading my promos, you'd think I'm the shallowest guy in the world. Which for the most part I am[/I].) I also have a different character I'm interested in writing. Different personality. Fun in a different way. If I do decide to 'abandon' Edd, he'd at the very least feature in some of my roleplays, wandering around backstage, hitting on Cat Jemson, or perhaps being a backstage interviewer himself. I'm undecided about the character, but I'm in for the fun, so rock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ehm dont know how an E-fed works or the history behind it but as I am a TCW mark I would love to participate and if choosing a character is part of it for me it Joey ´freaking´ Minnesota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Awesome, glad to have you join. I suppose until the site is ready you guys can use this thread to introduce your TCW characters or to re introduce them for the vets. Maybe give us a taste of what your characters about. It may take a few hours to reach jonfun. Remember it doesn't HAVE to be a TEW character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capelli King Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 For all the guys which are not aquainted to TCW and the E-fed which was going on. IT started around end June last year and was going on for around 9 months. Basically people post 2-3 roleplays a week and try to get their character going as in real wrestling. Basic idea is to get your character interesting and hyped, get into feuds with other characters and overal have fun in an entertainment type wrestling promotion. I am sticking to my old character Marat Khoklov. I liked this dudes character in the Cornellverse and i always try to make something out of him (usually not too successfully:D) in the E-fed he had a very good run i would say, was around from the beginning till mid January. Was the all time in cash earned, total wins and total matches before he left. He had Floyd Goldsworthy as his mouth piece (sticking to the C-verse history of managing monsters) he was about to be challenging for the title around November, but i decided i was too busy with things in real life, ended up giving Gonzalez a push into the main event scene. Guess the highlight of Marats career was the early feud with BPK which later became head booker. The feud continued later on, so i ended up cussing BPK for well over 4-5 months:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us sail the seas once more!! Jonfun wrote me back, he will give us the password to reopen the site so it should be anytime now. But if by morning I don't have it I'll just have to open up a new league and artificially enter the records myself from memory. Great to see the enthusiasm. I honestly considered that league my child... even though it technically wasn't me who gave it life. hope the newbies can also contribute! I'd love to see some of their characters of choice introduced in this thread if they still want to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real wrestlers arent allowed. And WWE superstars are actually illegal. [QUOTE=lordprimeau25;466928]Is some sort of simulation run with matches or anything. I mean what happens after we write promos and get into feuds with one another. I am highly intrigued just a feeling a little gray on the details of what happens...[/QUOTE] AHERM... Well, ordinarily we just used a match simulator with me adding details within the match to link it to a feud or to just spice it up. I will most likely continue doing that but if I am to do a show once every other week, I may add much more detail within it. I also tend to add humor in it... esspecially in jobber matches. If anyone remembers Cranshaw defeating Chief Gordon Ramsey via hangnail. And writing promos is simple. My best advice is to look at the promos written by everyone else and copy the style you like best. Just by being a member you will be automatically placed in a storyline unless you perfer some time to build your character up by facing jobbers for a few weeks first weeks. If I think you deserve a break, you will get a title match, the hardcore title is ussually the entry belt for the guys who desrve to be pushed but arent ready for the big show yet. Same may apply for the tag team titles. The international title is given to the guy who is nearing main event status and the world title is given to the guy who I can see carrying the promotion. The direction the feuds go within shows are up to me. I may either throw you a curveball or if it looks like the two feuding wrestlers have a plan of their own I will PM you and ask what you want to do. Wins are decided based on how good you are compared to your opponent, however if your opponent needs a win to keep the storyline interesting or just running smoothly, it overrules all. Normally I would suggest you pace yourself to one or two roleplays a week to not burn out so easily.... but with a show every other week for two months.... go nuts. In the end, just have fun. There really are no politicians here. No one will try and hold you down. I am not the undefeated, undistupted world champion owner you see in every other efed. I became champ by becoming the leagues best heel, despite never winning a single feud. And I didnt even hold the belt that long. I perfer the role of hunter, rather then the hunted. My character is in way over his head. Besides, your job as owner is to make sure everyone gets over. And if you're over... then you job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 [QUOTE]A created persona. Real wrestlers arent allowed. And WWE superstars are actually illegal. [/QUOTE] Excellent, then I am in. As soon as I decide which of the many characters I've created I want to use, and can actually give a cool picture to. :D Kind of jumped the gun ... what I meant was I am in, if it's cool and there's room. I asked that question because I feel more comfortable being a guy I've created. Someone whom I've built up in my own mind, and know the ins and outs of. And I kind of miss the break of writing promos, immersing myself into the mind of a character that is outlandish, or demented, or whatever direction he goes.

Capelli King Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Better if you you choose a TCW character, it kind of makes people "connect" with who he is and also gives you a certain "history" if you wish. However there were quite a few virtual characters such as "Captain Cranshaw" which ended up being franchise players, Adam should think about putting him in his the Cornellverse;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like trying to write for an actual wrestler, which I could never do. Trying to portray the Rock, when so many have seen how he is, and have in their mind how he sounds, makes it difficult for me to put what slant I wish for him. It's just a personal preference I've always had. Besides, if I do introduce someone, and his reaction is met with "meh," I can always job him out for 2 months. I'll become a glorified Charlie Haas! :D [QUOTE]Sure... their should be more then enough room.[/QUOTE] Yay! Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's not all about winning :D Just write the character you feel you'd have most fun writing. I personally prefer taking characters and adapting them, but that's me. Not that I would enjoy writing Rock or Austin or Jericho, but give me Edd Stone or some other C-Verse character, with certain definite characteristics but no set-in-stone rhythm of speech or sequences of actions, and I'm golden.

Prophet Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Oh, I don't really care if I win. My goal is to have fun. I've always been that way. I've always tried to be the Mick Foley of "e-fedding", if you will. It never mattered to me if I came out on top, but if the feud I was in became one where people would say "wow, that's a build up" and enjoyed it, then I did my job. And if I do become Charlie Haas, it won't be all bad. Steady paycheck, Jackie Gayda ... I could live with that. lol As for the character type, I realize there's a vast difference between this world and the world on television, so my example wasn't exactly accurate, but I've always felt more comfortable this way. Besides, it's a challenge. Edd Stone is known, the perception is different, but he's known. If by the end of this, you guys have an understanding of the character I envisioned when I started out, that's super bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capelli King Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 That is why i kind of prefer to go for a Cornellverse character as there is some background to work on. However as i said before, some people made up characters which went very well, it takes some level of creativity i must say and most likely you will be basing your character on someone you know. This is not really about winning or not, naturally better more stable roleplayers get more of the main event and title shots overal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
