DXX Frequently Asked Questions « Thread Started on Dec 19, 2006, 8:24pm »
General Questions roleplaying questions can be found in the next post last updated - January 21st 2009
This topic is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) topic, which is exactly that - a place where most common questions we get are asked. Normally forums would say "read through this first before asking questions," but with so much going on here at any one time we encourage everyone to PM a staff member (or anyone for that matter, we have dozens of helpful members) if you need any help, or alternatively hit the 'reply' button and ask anything here. This topic is simply here for guidance and to helpfully help you know a little about DXX before you get stuck in.
_______________________
Q: How do I sign up?
That's always the best place to start, so click here to join DXX if you haven't already.
Q: Where are the rules found?
A: You can find the rules in the 'Forum Announcements' board (where you're reading this), more specifically here. These rules are a detailed version of what can be found here. These are the original rules.
Q: Can I advertise my own forum?
A: Yep, that can be done in the 'Advertise And Affiliation Board,' which is here. You're free to advertise there as much as you like (once you have 50 posts), as well as in your sig of course, but please do not advertise via PM. This is one of the biggest no-no's of DXX, and doing this will get you a warning. But hey - why would you want to advertise that way and potentially get yourself banned when there's a perfectly good board to advertise in, right? More information on advertising can be found here.
Q: Do I stay 'in character' all the time?
A: No. In most of the e-fed boards you stay in character, such as within the three shows, DXX.com and Massacre/Mayhem Chat. In General E-Fed Chat you post out of character, and everywhere else on the forum you can simply be yourself. That might sound complicated but it is fairly self explanatory.
Q: Can you 'bump' graphics requests?
A: Yes you can, but only after a three day period.
Q: How do you get images to show up on the forum? I can only post a link!
A: Ah, stuff like that requires a little knowledge of something called UBBC (or UBB) code. Our beloved admin, Mr. McMahon, has put together a useful guide to UBBC code, which is here.
Q: What are the Top E-Fed links?
A: They're rather cool sites where a lot of E-Feds are listed. Basically, if you click on the links and vote for DXX, the forum gets noticed more and more people visit the site, which makes it grow.
A: Yes there is. If that's too hard to remember you can always type http://d-xx.co.nr into your address bar, as it's shorter and easier to remember. You can also use http://www.dx.bo.kz as well if you wish to. ProBoards have also dropped the server number to all forums as well, so http://dxxtherebirth.proboards.com is also an option if you prefer it.
Q: Who's in charge of DXX?
A: Mr. McMahon is the admin of the forum. Assassin is his co-admin and together they are the most senior active members of DXX. Broken Glass, James Kidd, and Kenny Wallace are Global Moderators and Justin, Jacky Williams, and Steve Omar are currently the General Managers of Friday Night Mayhem, Monday Night Massacre and DXX Rated respectively.
Q: How do I become a member of staff?
A: If a staff vacancy becomes available you will be asked personally to become a member of staff by an admin. Please don't beg a staff member or drop hints asking to become staff as this won't do you any favours.
Q: How do the Member of The Month competitions work?
A: Towards the end of each month the Member of The Month competition is run by Mr McMahon and occasionally Assassin. To start off with we have a nomination stage where certain people (current General Managers, the previous winner and one or two people associated with the graphics area) can nominate who they think deserves an award, and once that's done everyone can then vote on their favourite for that month.
Q: How do I get nominated then?
A: A good start is to remain active, make interesting posts, perform well in the e-fed and help out whenever possible. Basically you need to stand out from the rest of the pack to become member of the month.
Q: I have some questions that aren't covered here...
A: Don't worry, as mentioned at the beginning of this topic if you have any further questions either reply to this topic or contact a member of staff.

Roleplaying questions
Q: Do I have to roleplay to be a part of DXX?
A: Not at all, we have many members here who just want to discuss wrestling, share graphics or anything in general rather than being in the e-fed. Roleplaying is completely optional.
Q: How do I register to roleplay?
A: Simple, click here to view the 'Sign Your Contract' thread, click on the contract template and copy & paste the template into a new thread. A General Manager will accept your contract and your name will change to blue (Mayhem), red (Massacre), yellow (Rated) or pink (cross-brand diva) once you've been accepted.
Q: How do I roleplay?
A: You simply imagine yourself as the character you signed up with, and either challenge someone to a match, introduce yourself to the other wrestlers, whatever you like really as almost anything is possible. Edge Head 4 Ever has found a very useful guide to roleplaying, found here.
Q: But what can I type?
A: To an extent whatever you like. All that we asked is that you don't use bad language (stars are accepted though) and control another character.
Q: What do you mean, 'control another character?'
A: Exactly that, you can't control anyone other than yourself as it causes a lot of problems. You can find a relatively decent explanation here.
Q: My roleplaying isn't that good, does it matter?
A: Nope, it doesn't matter at all. You can be the best roleplayer in the world or the worst, everyone is welcome to roleplay on DXX. After all, we were all new to it once so you'll gradually learn over time. The DXX Rated brand's purpose is to help those who want to improve their skills as well.
Q: What show will I be on?
A: Currently we have two shows and a development brand - Monday Night Massacre, Friday Night Mayhem and DXX Rated. The GMs of the two main shows take turns taking Superstars, but if they feel a sample roleplay isn't up to the standards necessary to do well on those shows you'll start on DXX Rated.
Q: DXX Rated? What's that?
A: DXX Rated is our development brand, currently run by Dexter Hardy. There are two ways to be on that show, if GMs feel your sample roleplay isn't good enough for you to succeed on Massacre/Mayhem after you've signed a contract or if you feel you can improve as a roleplayer and request to be moved to the show. On Rated you'll be given advice by a number of people, called 'trainers,' and if you do well you'll earn a call-up to either of the two main shows.
Q: How do I get a match once I've signed a contract?
A: Go and see your General Manager, issue an open challenge or think up any other inventive way you can think of getting a match. Once you have a match you'll need to post what's called a 'match roleplay' which can be found in the board list of your show. You do not need to submit a match roleplay if you don't want to, general roleplays count towards determining whether or not you win as well.
Q: How do I become a champion?
A: That depends on a number of factors. Most importantly in order to win one you need to have fairly decent roleplaying skills and be regularly active.
Q: What happens to my character if I become inactive?
A: Firstly, if you're going to be inactive for a week or two you won't be put in a match until you return. Simply put, if you don't roleplay you usually won't be put in a match so don't worry about that if you think you'll automatically lose while you're away. However if you request a match and then don't submit at least one roleplay you'll automatically lose, this is called 'no-showing.' If you leave DXX by way of simply becoming inactive for a long period of time and not telling anyone you're not coming back then your character is free to be used by anyone else after a 20-30 day period.
Q: Can I have a second account?
A: The short answer is no. The longer answer is that you can't play as a second character on a second account, but you can have a manager on your first (and only) account to use in roleplays but not as an active competitor. If you have a brother or sister who wants to sign up please inform a member of staff before they do so, and if we suspect that the accounts are used by the same person one of them will be deleted.
Q: What's the DXXPedia?
A: The DXXPedia is our very own personal wiki, with the same layout and format as Wikipedia. It serves as a database for the past, present and future of DXX, and includes past PPVs, Superstars and other information.
Q: Can I contribute?
A: Certainly. Because of a recent vandalism problem you'll need an account to edit or create pages, and you can do that by PMing Assassin. He'll give you a username and a random password which you can change to anything you like once you're logged in.
Q: Is there a topic where I can view this year's PPV Schedule?

no. If you'd like a Graphics request bumping then PM me and I can bump it for you without posting, but until the request area gets bigger and more active then there is no real need.

personally I wouldn't have said there was much need to bump them to be honest, and it's not something I've really thought about. Ill get back to you on that one Randy

In the DXX PPV Board, go to PPV Card, and the top non-announcement sticky is DXX PPV List. This lists all PPVs in 2008 up until Cyber Sunday, scheduled for November 30th 2008. Either take the path I've described, or click here to take you directly to the thread.
