JUST SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO BOILER ROOM BRAWLER AND LET HIM KNOW YOU WANT TO JOIN.
JUST SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO BOILER ROOM BRAWLER AND LET HIM KNOW YOU WANT TO JOIN.
{Spoiler}You may be a wrestler or a manager/valet for other wrestlers.
You may have more than one character whether a separate wrestler, a tag partner, a manager/valet, or other.
Members must promo/role play every week, whether in the Promo Thread (see above for link) or as submissions to Boiler Room Brawler for Niteraw/Supercard Shows.
Activity is a factor that BRB considers in his booking decisions. A member who participates in the Promo Thread and in the main shows will tend to get preferential treatment.
ALL NEW AND RETURNING MEMBERS MUST WRITE THE FOLLOWING TO BE BOOKED AND OFFICIALLY ADDED TO THE ROSTER:
1. A promo, video package, skit, etc that builds up to their debut or return. BRB will post it on the following show (probably Niteraw).
2. A squash match to mark their character's debut or return. BRB will post it on the show following the promo (also probably Niteraw).

[glow=red,2,300]SHOWS[/glow]
{Spoiler}NITERAW is the weekly FAWA Show except for Supercard shows (see the schedule above.)
Every show is divided into three days, generally being posted on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. BRB often sends PMs with links to each part as he posts them out of courtesy.
BRB posts the cards after every show. These matches generally reflect title scenes, number one contender matches, and qualifiers for special matches at supercards. Players may request matches, but they must be willing to write any match request they make.
Once a final card is determined, Jonathan Michaels (sometimes BRB) PMs the card to every member so they can vote for who they want to win in every match (see below).
Match cards reflect the more significant matches for the week, but you are free to write squash matches with Non-Player Wrestlers (see roster below), bonus exhibition bouts with fellow FAWA Members (but work it out with them first), skits, promos, etc.

[glow=red,2,300]VOTING[/glow]
{Spoiler}When voting, rate all contestants within a match on a scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best) based on your opinion on the quality of their promos, gimmick, participation, role within an angle, etc.
Tag Teams count as a single contestant unless they are in an elimination tag match.
Jonathan Michaels or BRB counts the votes (depending on who sent the card) - the contestant with the most points in a match wins. Ties will result in a draw, double count out, double disqualification, no contest, etc - it's up to the match writer.
Match results only determine the winner of a match. They shall not reflect how the match is written, which is to be determined by the participants.
If all members within a match agree, they may forego the results of the vote in order to advance any greater agendas and angles they have. They must be sure to inform the writer if that writer is a third party.

[glow=red,2,300]WRITING[/glow]
{Spoiler}SEND ALL SUBMISSIONS TO BOILER ROOM BRAWLER.
USE PROPER GRAMMAR, SPELLING, AND SYNTAX IN EVERY MATCH AND PROMO YOU SEND TO BOILER ROOM BRAWLER.
BOOKEND ALL NONVERBAL ACTIONS WITH ASTERISKS, NO MATTER IF YOU WRITE A MATCH OR A PROMO.
Example: *Brian Alexander stands Connor Mackenzie up and Irish whips him to the corner.*
WRAP ALL "TAPED SEGMENTS" (VIDEO PACKAGES, BACKSTAGE SEGMENTS, ETC) IN QUOTE TAGS TO DIFFERENTIATE THEM FROM IN-RING ACTION.
Example:
USE SIZE 3 FONT FOR ANY CHARACTER SPEAKING ON THE MICROPHONE IN THE PARTS UNKNOWN ARENA BUT NOT ON COMMENTARY.
Example: MM: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...
USE SIZE 1 FONT FOR ANY CHARACTER SPEAKING OFF MIC IN THE PARTS UNKNOWN ARENA.
Example: The Punisher: Nighty-night.
JK: Punisher with the Endgame! That'll ruin his opponent's night.
MATCHES
- Promos are the bread and butter of the FAWA, but the matches are the meat and potatoes, and the FAWA can always use more cooks.
When a match card is sent, you may claim any match to write and turn in by the deadline.
You may write unofficially booked matches if you have express permission from other participants. You and other participants must agree to the finish on your own because it won't be on the card to be voted on.
You may write squash matches featuring FAWA Enhancement Talent. The finish is predetermined in your favor, unless you want a jobber to beat you - whatever floats your boat.
You do not need to be directly involved in a match that you claim, but be courteous if someone who is directly involved wants to write it themself.
COMMENTARY
- Commentary is good for clarifying the finer details of a match or promo, as well as highlighting individual events for emphasis.
"Gorilla" Tim Hoss and Jesse King are the FAWA announce team.
Gorilla Tim Hoss is a hybrid of Gorilla Monsoon and Jim Ross, and thus is the play-by-play man who often sides with faces.
His lines should be preceded by "TH: " and use the font color "ff9933."
- Example: TH: Bah gawd! This crowd's going bananas!
Jesse King is a hybrid of Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Jerry "The King" Lawler, and thus is the color commentator who often sides with heels.
Jesse King's lines should be preceded by "JK: " and use the font color "99ff66."
- Example: JK: I gotta tell you, TH; this "Punisher" Frank Castle is my kind of guy.
Michael Muffer is the FAWA's ring announcer. He uses the font color "ffff66" and the abbreviation "MM: ."
- Example: MM: Making his way to the ring from Hayward, California... Weighing 200lbs... Vincent! Van... Agony!
EVERY MATCH SHOULD HAVE THIS MINIMUM COMMENTARY:
1. Before every match, Tim Hoss and Jesse King briefly introduce the match and any background detail it may have. Different matches will have different levels of this than others.
2. Every match proper starts with Michael Muffer introducing each contestant as they enter the ring. He mentions their hometown and weight.
3. At the end of every match proper, Michael Muffer announces the winner and the manner of the victory.
4. After every match, Tim Hoss and Jesse King make conclusive remarks about the match before moving onto the next one.
PROOFREAD ALL MATCHES AND PROMOS BEFORE YOU SEND THEM TO BOILER ROOM BRAWLER:
- Is the text grammatically correct?
- Does the text have any spelling errors?
- Does your text conform to the writing standards?
- Are the events of the match or promo clearly depicted?
- Can you trim down any text? Any purple prose?
- Does your match have psychology? Is it a spotfest? Is your match believable?
- Are the actions of all contestants in character?
- Does your promo have a point? Does it build up to any matches?
