New Rules Regarding Promos and Matches

[G-Rich]

I've been way too leniant with promos and matches and starting now, I am having some new rules which will go in tact next week.

After an event, I will post the card the next day and I will also post match writers. Once you see the card and if you cannot write, say so immediately. If someone would like to take up a second match, say so.

After the card is posted, you will have 5 days to do promos and then matches will be due in 8 days. I suggest you start matches before I give you winners and then add an ending.

For example, If a card is made on Monday, promos are due Friday at midnight. That means 12 AM Saturday morning. I will close the thread at that time, or if for a reaosn I'm not on, I will close it after that.

If you have an excuse for me and give it to me before that 12 AM mark, I will allow it to be ahnded in by 12 Noon on the next day. (in this being Saturday). Promo grades will be given to me on the day after the promos are due and then match winners will be handed out.

Promo grades are due at 8 PM on the night following the promo due date. If I do not not have grades from all the promo graders, I will send out winners with the grades I have.The matches will be then due in 2 days (in this example being Tuesday).

For reference, the promo graders are me, CradleXShock, themattxperience and AnthonyThaChamp. If I know that a promo grader will not get in grades, I may ask another memeber to grade the promos.

The show will be posted that night, with no matter what matches are in. If a match isn't in, I will post who wins and when I recieve the match, I will post it.

If you miss a promo once, you automatically lose your match.

If you miss a promo 2 times w/o telling me a reason, you will be gone from FWA and then can only come back with a new character.

If you miss a match you will be suspened for a week and if you miss two you are done and can only come back with a new character.

If you come back with a new character and miss a match or promo twice, you are down from FWA permanantly.

As you can see, I'm really buckling down. I'm gettnig really pissed off with a lot of your lack fo doing things no time. You have 5 days for promos and then 3 for matches. That is plenty of time and don't tell me it isn't.

If you are gonig on leave or vacation, post it in the Leaving FWA thread. DO NOT PM ME. I REPEAT, DO NOT PM ME!

Also, if you have plans you want for a match you are in for stroyline reasons or what not, PM the person who writes the match, not me.

But if you have a promo not involving a match that is gonig on or a backstage segment with somebody, please PM it to me.

If you have any questions, ask in here please.

Thanks.

What timezone are you speaking in?
Because I know a bunch of people here are on the pacific time zone. And there is various other time zones. Midnight on the east comes about three hours before it comes here, thats a big difference. So which is it?

[King TE]

Greg is Eastern time(US)

[jabberwocky]

I know that..I just wanted clarification..
Because without a heads up it would suck to go to post a promo at 9pm and see its closed

do you have to have a created guy to do a promo?

[Cruel Britannia]

yes, yes you do....check out the sign up and roster section

For those who don't know its against promo rules to post a promo that is a direct response to an opponent's promo of that week. Doing so is ground for promo disqualification.

[The Golden One]

It's been done numerous times since I've been in the FWA and is one of the more overlooked, unenforced rules here. I'm glad it's being looked at a little closer.

[tmnt316]

Yeah but it's usually not done blantantly....alot of the times what someone says in a recent promo was mentioned in a previous promo too, as they've faced the guy before.

Yeah when it unintentional or small we generally dont try and punish for it, but it still happens every once in a while and we have to call people out on it and either have promo modification or disqualification. I mean you already have a general advantage posting after your opponent has posted the promo that its really unfair to be able to pick apart the promo they just posted.

the punishment for any rule breakers will be a promo against narc!

aka: a loss added on your overall record
