If you are new to the Role-Playing or Online Wrestling Federations in general, the following tutorial is designed to clarify everything to the best of my ability. If after reading this, you still have questions, contact any one of the Federation's members and they will be glad to help you learn everything you need to know about Role-Playing. And remember, the main goal is to have fun!

Alright! We'll start at the very beginning. I'll assume you've already found an Online Federation, preferably this one, and you'd like to know how this all works. Well it's quite simple. You pretend to be a wrestler of your choice, if available, and you try to act, talk, and think like him or her. It often help to review your wrestler in action (1: Browse An Old Tape; 2: Skim Through An Old Interview; 3: Try To Remember Something Funny They Did; 4: Etc.). And always rembmer this is for fun and is not your job. When you aren't having fun anymore, let the Federations owner know this and schedule an appropriate parting; it makes you look more important in the Fed has an actual ending for you or you qualify for retirement. Not just disappearing, because then you look like a jerk. You should never "Take-Up" a hobby you aren't having fun with, because then it becomes a chore and it often leads to misunderstandings and fight. Nobody wants that in the E-Fed Business.

...Try to act, talk, think, and write like your wrestler. It often helps to review your wrestler...

"What I used to do, to make role-plays great, was to treat them as if they were mini-stories. They would usually have a hilarious twist or surprise ending. My role-plays ended up being much more memorable and helped them stand out alot more than everyone else's. I stuck to a simple topic, which was usually the wrestler I was facing, and just played around with the story until it was finished." - Prez

"My priorities were simple: just stick to the point and stay in character. What also helped carry it along was music, pictures, and colors. And sometimes, if appropriate, I'd add a video, thought it wasn't often because they often take too long to download and most of my matches were fantasy." - Vice Prez

Another important factor is the desing of your Role-Play. Many Role-Plays are similar to the following:

** (Wrestler Name) as his/her music plays. He/she grabs a mic and speaks. **

(Wrestler Name): On (event), I will be facing (opponent) for whatever reason. I'm going to win because...blah...blah...blah.

** (Wrestler Name) leaves the ring or wherever your Role-Play is taking place. **

Role-Playing is a very weird activity to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, the belts keep rolling in and you are sweeping the newbies (New People). If it is your first time in an Online Federation or Role-Playing in general, try it out for at least a week and see how things go. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it, so don't get frustrated. NOBODY ever does it perfectly the first few times. It's a matter of practice. With time comes wisdom, so don't get discouraged, because that will make you pissed off.

Finally, the most important thing to keep in mind, is this is only a guide, and I highly recommend you take your own interpretations of this, and Role-Play in your own style. Also be sure to to find out how the President grades your Role-Plays. If he/she values quality, quantity, or both. In order to defeat your opponent, you MUST have better quality Role-Plays, better quantity, or both, depending again on how your President judges them. Now go and have fun.

** Be sure to review the rules at least once while wrestling here. **
