   >>>>>>>>         are actually resolved via computer programs.  The   
   actual   
   >>>>>>>>         distinction between "diced" and "simmed" is that in   
   >>>>>>>>         "diced" the full mechanics for match resolution are   
   usually   
   >>>>>>>>         known to the player, whereas in "simmed" they are not.   
   >>>>>>>>         Contrast with booked, simmed.  Compare with gamed.   
   >>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>     Do the job - see Job   
   >>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>     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.
