Fantasy Wrestling - Game Derivatives

Game Derivatives

Fantasy wrestling leagues (e-feds) operate using a number of different settings and systems to determine results.

The most prominent system is through roleplaying, where competitors will post pieces of creative writing with the producer of the best piece being named the victor. There are many different styles of roleplays used, ranging from extensive dialogue, "shoot" pieces, scripted and structured, novelic-style stories. There are often limits and deadlines associated with these types of promotions.

Match Writing EFeds are based on you and your opponent collaborating to create the best match possible. Working with one another to try and create the best match possible meanwhile trying to gain the victory is the best simulation of a real life Wrestling Federation as Superstars look to move through the ranks and gain Championships.

Angle (or storyline orientated) promotions focus only on angles/storylines/plots involving the handlers. These promotions require competitors to manage numerous aspects of their angles, constantly adding ideas and interviews with the most interesting and well planned of angles determining the winner.

Statistics-based leagues often use a points system or a dice system. While systems vary widely, the match typically takes place as a statistics-based game where varied dice may represent a wrestling move, control by a player, etc. In more common systems, wrestlers begin with a certain number of points and roll for control. The wrestler winning control then executes a move (based on another dice roll) worth a certain number of points, which are then deducted from the opponent's total. Once a wrestler's total points gets low enough, his opponent may use control to roll for a pinfall.
