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.

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              Puppy is on the pile too?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
