Have some issue keeping you from joining? Or having some problem now that you're in the group? Take a glance here and see if it helps! If not, your local friendly moderator is always open to notes and questions.
>I've never RPed before, I'm scared I'll do it wrong!
Dont worry about that; if you're at the bottom then theres nowhere to go but up! Check out this guide of tips ( https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5375179/ ), ask the people you're RPing with for tips, and keep an open mind. RPing is something that can take time to get used to and to get good at. We all make mistakes, and there will always be misunderstanding somt time or another. Just keep trying and ask for help (and listen to the help) when you need it.
>I can RP, but I dont know anything about fighting RPs, or any of the fighting styles!
This is something I can definately help with; I speak from experience.
For fighting RPs in general, try to visualize out the fight/moves to get an idea of what's going on. If you can, stand up and try throwing simplified versions of the moves yourslef (this will help you determine what's actually going on, how they'll look, how you'd react, etc. etc.).
For wrestling, wikiedia, youtube, google, and google images is your best freind. Wrestling games are great too; open up the "Create a Wrestler" options and go through the movesets. Any time something comes up that you don't know or havent heard of, ask the person you're RPing with about it, and/or google it, and/or try to find it in a wrestling game. This also helps when you're making actions yourself; I often have/had wikipedia pages on wrestling moves open along with skype. Eventually, you'll start learning moves and terminology yourself!
> I cant decide stuff about my character!
Know the feels! It helps to find someone you can talk the ear off of...and then just talk. List out everything you know you want about the chraracter, and listen for suggestions. It may help to start with one big main idea (I knew when I made Trevino I wanted a big biker cat. Then wolfman6712 and I fine-tuned out details. Speaking of the dude, we often make tag team characters, or come to each other with ideas and plans. It really helps). I usually iron out fine details on-the-fly while RPing, so if you need a "dummy" to help you figure stuff out, poke me!
>So I have a character...What is a good bio?
Bios range and vary so much. They...are another thing I personally have trouble doing haha. So, the bare minimum requirement in a bio is:
Name
Species (It is the ANTHRO Wrestling Federation)
Height
Weight
Appearance
Other things that might be nice to have is a few facts about them, a short description of their personality, fighting style, yadda yadda yadda. Personally, I'm sticking to the basics and answering everything else in character.
>No one is ever around when I am!
None? With jobs, school, and other factors of life, we all cant be on 24/7...true. Send out some message whenever you're around, or even figure out times with people privately. Although things do come up, there is usually some free patches of time between people that coincide.
>One of the other members hates me!
In this world, not everyone will like you...but not everyone will hate you either. First, remember that there is "in character" and "RL" or "Out of character (OOC)" or "in person" The things a character does may not actually reflect what the person controlling them thinks. Often, Ry is major pissed...but I'm laughing my butt off.
If you've determined its actually the person hating you, try to privately message them and find out what's going on...or even message me (the current leader/moderator) to find out. Remember that this is a GROUP of people, and one person hating you shouldn't deter you from RPing with us. Things will evenyually work out...even if its to a frosty agreement of mutual dislike.
>I'm not actually a wrestler! But I want to join this "AWF!"
So? Theres actually one member already who doesn't wrestle. Then theres others who do nothing but wrestle. And still others that do it all. Anthro "WRESTLING" federation is a misleading name really, because most of us will box or fight MMA style. Don't worry about it!
>I CANT STAND this guy! His typing is much worse when I RP with him than it is in the logs!
Remeber that the logs uploaded to the page are aften edited. If I'm not too tired, I usually try to iron out most of the glaring typos. I miss some, sometimes I get lazy, but try not to get put off by it. This is all for fun; dont let such a little thing spoil it for you.
>This place is boring!
Allow me to quote one of the coolest lions I know:
"[10/15/2013 9:55:40 PM] Zander: Zander flats his ears. "Then do something interesting."
This group is really what you make of it. If its boring, challenge someone to a fight and make it not boring!
>I'm not in the member list on the page and I've been here and stuff! What gives?
Chances are it was a mistake. I did most of it from memory and glancing at the bios in the group gallery. Otherwise, I included people and their characters that are in the skype group. All because a match you was in was uploaded to the group doesn't nesicarrily mean you're a "member" By "member" I mean someone thats usually there (or in some cases, they have the will to be there but life doesnt let them). Case in point is that Vandred has some matches in the group gallery...but he left the group. In any case, note me and we'll work it out.
Thats all I can think of now! If theres something I should add or change, tell me!
