      [continued from previous message]              >>>>>> Face - short for "babyface", a good guy wrestler. Contrast       with       >>>>>> heel.       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Fake Wrestler - see Original Wrestler       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Gamed - Refers to a type of fed where some kind of game is used       >>>>>> to resolve matches. In other words, a non-booked fed.       >>>>>> Diced and simmed feds are both gamed, as are rules sets       >>>>>> that depend on limited knowledge, or guessing games.       >>>>>> Contrast with booked. Compare with diced, simmed.       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Heel - a bad guy wrestler. Contrast with face.       >>>>>>       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Job - In the broadest sense, to lose. In a narrower       >>>>>> sense, to       >>>>>> lose to another wrestler in order to get that wrestler or       >>>>>> an angle over (see Over). Often used to mean losing       badly,       >>>>>> as in "The entire WCW was jobbed to Hogan."       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Original Wrestler - a wrestler which is created out of whole       >>>>>> cloth by the player. Not a Real Wrestler. See       >>>>>> Real Wrestler.       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Over - working, accepted by the crowd (where "crowd" in e-       >>>>>> wrestling       >>>>>> usually means the other players). A face is over if the       >>>>>> crowd cheers, a heel is over if the crowd boos.       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Real Wrestler - a character based wholly on an existing wrestler       >>>>>> in real life, eg. Ric Flair. Most real wrestler feds       >>>>>> tend to be computer-simmed, possibly because many       >>>>>> computer-sims have Real Wrestler profiles as part of       >>>>>> the package. See Original Wrestler       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Rules-Based - (thanks to Francois-Dominic Laramee for the       >>>>>> coinage of this term). A rules based fed is a       >>>>>> gamed fed where the rules are known to the players.       >>>>>> Note that most diced feds are rules-based, but that       >>>>>> they don't have to be. Note also that most       >>>>>> computer-simmed feds are not rules based, but       >>>>>> that they could be.       >>>>>>       >>>>>> Simmed - Usually refers to a type of fed where a complicated       >>>>>> computer game is used to resolve matches (eg. TNM, WLS).       >>>>>> The important feature of this type of fed is that       >>>>>> the match resolution is a "black box". The players       >>>>>> have no idea of the underlying mechanics which       >>>>>> govern the match resolution. Contrast with booked.       >>>>>> Compare with diced, gamed, rules-based.       >>>>>       >>>>> Thank you Jeff.       >>>>>       >>>> want me to redact it       >>>       >>> What's this latest bit about, I must have missed something.       >>       >> why did emmett apologise       >       > Because Puppy couldn't follow the same advice he gave to Emmett.              puppy gave up on me when i expose his martial arts belt color nonsense              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
