      [continued from previous message]              >>>>> 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.
