The following is a list of rules and guidelines to follow in Frontier Grappling Arts.
As of 12/2616, FGA is now an Angle Fed.
What does that mean? Matches will not be decided by competitive roleplays. Now that doesn’t mean you just get to sit back, relax and expect to be pushed. I strongly encourage active participation. Active participation will be your key to success here. What I’m talking about is:
* SELLING:
Selling your matches/feuds/storylines/etc is very key to your advancing. This can be done via segments during the shows, Afterburn interviews and even Twitter. Over the years, I've seen people move away from forum-based stuff to strictly Twitter-based stuff. And that's cool. However, I also know that not everyone is on Twitter and if they are, they aren't overly active. Selling on Twitter definitely helps. But I'd say segments probably take more priority over anything else. Speaking of segments....
* SEGMENTS:
These not only sell your match for that night (if scheduled), but these can be used to establish and advance your character/story/feud/etc.
* AFTERSHOWS:
After every show, I'll post a thread titled “Afterburn”. The “Afterburn” shows are a way for you to use another segment to sell what just happened on the show, what's next on the horizon for your character, etc. This is also a way to put through a segment that you weren't able to send over in time.
Your overall activity will help determine who gets pushed, how hard someone gets pushed, who wins championships & accolades, etc. As far as how wins and losses are determined from TV show to TV show? That will also be determined by who has been active, who has been putting in the work, and if it works better for your character to pick up a win or take a loss on that particular show. With any fed that you join, you have to trust the staff. But with the nature of an angle fed, there is an even greater level of trust that’s placed in the staff. One thing that I’ve always prided myself with FGA is our matches. A common statement that I’ve seen in discussion threads, reviews and surveys is that I always take care of both parties in a match. I always do my best to make sure that both the winner and the loser of a match come out looking well.
If you’re consistently not putting forth any effort and aren’t active at all? Then that will be shown in your character’s lack of success/lack of being booked.
But if you are being active, then you'll be taken care of. Sometimes, patience is key. But I'll look out for you.
* Everyone loses at some point. It's a fact of life. If you have a disagreement/question over the outcome of your match, please contact any member of the staff privately and voice your concerns there.
* Please be respectful to your fellow board members.
* DO NOT use other characters in your promos without their permission. This goes for any member of on-air authority in FGA. But by all means, use the interviewers if you wish. Just don't physically attack them.
* If something is clearly labeled as "Off Camera", it is OFF LIMITS to be used against an opponent.
* Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
