   >>>>>>     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.
