What is
Efedding?
As efedding evolves so
does the concept of what it is. The basic rule of thumb to remember is that when
efedding, you're carrying out the role of a wrestler, and playing that role in
the first person by doing what we call, roleplays or promos. The promos are then
judged, depending on what type of federation you're in on the basis of quality,
content, execution, and presentation (rare). From that point, the administrative
staff of that said efed sits down, writes a set of results which determine your
next course of action in the federation, after you have either won or lost in
your match.
Roleplaying?
No...not like sex, but
similar more to warcraft without the gaming persona of things. You are playing
the role of a character you have created. You can be anyone, anything you want
in efedding. Play the role of who it is that you have created, and play it out
as you would see it happening. Chances are, people will laugh at you, but I can
almost guarantee that those people that do laugh can't do this if their life
depended on it. It's hard, it's tough, so ask for feedback, find tips around the
web (and many located in this site). You can always get better at roleplaying,
and that's where constructive criticism comes in. Take all feedback as good
feedback, even if someone bashes you. It's hard, but it will help you in the
long run. Once you can fine tune your skills in roleplaying, not only will that
shine throughout your work, but it'll reflect on how you do in the fed, and as a
person because you in turn will be looked to as someone that can help another up
and comer. Play the role of your character, be your character, live your
character.
How do I find a
federation that suits my needs?
Research. Go to
various efeds that can be found throughout the web. Use google, Roughkut.com, or
talk to friends and efedders. Read the rules there, and talk to some people, or
hang around from time to time. If you like what you see, then that's when you
join. But remember, what you're doing is making a commitment, so once you are
accepted, then you NEED to roleplay otherwise you're leaving a black mark on
yourself as someone that flakes. Don't be a flake.
So you're
pretending to wrestle online?
Yes. That's precisely
what we're doing but we're taking it to another level. A lot of people that
"wrestle" online, are here for the creative purposes. Writers make things
interesting, and it allows roleplayers/efedders to let their creative juices
flow. Remember, you can do anything you want in efedding, it's all about how you
present yourself. Abide by the rules of the federation, and if you're in no
direct violation, then the universe is your canvas, do with it what you want.
But why?
Well because it's fun.
A lot of efedders find that the community like atmosphere is not only a great
place to hang out, but they develop relationships with their members. Friends,
and there are many incidents where more has come out of efedding than just
making someone a good friend. It's a great pastime. It's fun, it's cheap, and it
keeps you motivated and your mind racing. Efedding in a whole is a community.
It's time consuming to be a roleplayer, it can be stressful, but it's also just
as fun.
