Welcome to The Domain aka Bytches' Ultimate Domain (BUD) and please make sure you review The Regulations. Everyone in The Domain is here to have fun so let's try and remember that this is just a game. If you have any problems or questions either contact one of the manangers or post it on the Management board.

General Rules

First and foremost - Respect the managers and respect each other!

There Can Be Only One - ONE face per character, and ONE theme per character. Please check the 'Superstars' page to see who is already in use. Check the Music page to see if the theme you want is still available.

Creative Characters Only - Real WWE/ROH/TNA or any other independent wrestlers are not allowed, though you can use their faces.

How Many? - You may have more than one character at a time, but keep in mind that in that case, you may be double-booked for a show and will still be expected to roleplay as each character that has been put in a match.

Post - When you first join you will be given a week grace period to post stats. If you don't post them you will be released.

Judging

There will be three (3) judges for PPV and one (1) judge for Regular shows.  If you want to request more judges for your match (3 or 5, no more than 5) let Management know ahead of time.

The Judges' decisions are final, no overturning of a judges ruling unless it's relevant to a SL.

RPs are judged on:  creativity, RP flow, appearance, attention to details, countering opponents RPs, consideration for deadlines, and use of SLs.

Roleplaying

All RP's are to be posted on the Roleplay Board.

If your RP has harsh or sexual scenes, please put a Warning in the topic.

No OOC's on the RP board unless it's within' your layout.

Attacks are allowed so long as it is within tasteful limits. You cannot severely injure an opponent unless consent has been given from the handler {I.E., Storyline wise for an LOA}.

You cannot kill a Staff member or a Domain or GWE Superstar unless it is your own you are killing off.

You cannot bring in outsiders for the mere purpose to bash, talk shit about or for a lashing.

You are not to use someone's character or NPCs unless it has been discussed with the handler beforehand.  If you 'make' someone else's character do or say something that they normally wouldn't do, you're RP will be deleted and you will have to rewrite it.

Tag Team Matches  

ALL TEAM MEMBERS of each team need to post at least one RP before the 24 hour deadline in order to be considered.

You have 24 hours before the match deadline to post your first RP.  If you miss the 24 hour deadline, you automatically lose the match unless your opponent(s) agree to waive the deadline. If all the opponents in the match miss the deadline, it is automatically waived for all parties involved in that one match.

There is a 3 picture limit per competitive RP's, not including banners, dividers or disclaimers.

There is to be NO plagerism, reclycing or pre-writing. If it is found out that you have done so, one of three things will happen:  1) that RP will NOT count; 2) you will lose the match  OR 3) you will be released/banned from The Domain. [Management will make this decision]. If you find out someone has broken this rule please let us know, it isn't fair to the opponent if the rule breaker can't even beat them on a level playing field.]

RP's have to be posted in font 2 or 3, no larger. Use your judgement on the font type to determine if it is too small or not.

Matches

Deadline for ALL shows is the night of the show at 10pm Central. [Hangover - Monday, PPV - Sunday].

If you're new to The Domain and fail to RP for 2 show you will be released.

If you're an established member and fail to RP for 2 shows, you will be placed in a Dark Match.

Dark Matches  Dark matches are considered the matches before the televised portion of a show.  These matches are used for those etablished members who have not RPed for 2 shows.  If you fail to RP for a Dark Match, you will be released from The Domain.  If you RP and lose, think of it as winning cause you won the right to stay and fight another day!  These matches are not written out, only the winner is listed.

Shows, LOA's and Titles

If you need to take a LOA, post on the LOA board with your name in the subject line, as character names and MSN nicknames are often different. Let us know roughly how long you're going to be gone so we have some timeframe to work with.

If you're the The Domain/BUD Heavyweight Champion, you cannot hold any other singles titles but can hold the Ultimate Tag Team Titles.

If you are a Champion and need to take an LOA for more than three weeks you can: job to the #1 contender, be stripped, drop the title (i.e., Batista). If you are the #1 Contender for any title and you are taking an LOA for more than two weeks, you will be stripped of your contendership. If a title match has been booked at a PPV for your title and you can not make the match for whatever reason, the match will go ahead as scheduled.

The CARD is finalized at midnight of the day that card is posted, you cannot back out of a match or change a match unless Management makes the call.

RPing can beging for the current show once results for the previous show have been posted and the current card is finalized.

Rematch Clauses - If you lose a title you are entitled to a rematch IF YOU HAVE DEFENDED IT AT LEAST ONCE. The window of opportunity is open for 2 months or two PPV's from when you lost it. Once that second pay per view or month (whichever comes first) passes, you must earn another contendership.

When in a title match, and the champion and the opponent(s) do not rp for the match the title shall be vacated.  No questions asked.  Unless a manager accepts a postponement of the match.

All titles, with the exception of the THC which is 24/7, must be defended at least twice a month. We have five shows a month under normal circumstances - one pay per view and four editions of our main show. You are welcome to defend the title more often but a minimum of two is required or the title will go to someone who will do so.

The THC Board

Only a member of Management may count the 3.

The first day the belt is won, the title holder has five hours to kick out of any pins that might be attempted. When the first 24 hours is up, the title holder then has four hours to kick out of the pin. This continues until the title holder is down to one hour to kick out of a pin. If five days passes and the same person still holds the title, the cycle begins again at five hours and will go until said title holder is defeated.

Once the PPV card for a given month is posted, the belt is frozen, meaning no more pins will be allowed. The THC Title is defended only at PPVs and anyone may enter the THC match.

DO NOT COMPLAIN if the time passes and a manager has not counted the 3 immediately. We make every effort to count it as soon as possible, but sometimes none of the managers are on and we miss the count. It happens.

Realism is important in most aspects but try to be creative sometimes at least. This board also does not require any banners, layouts, or any of that nonsense.

All attacks must be done in effort to win the THC Belt. If you attack someone just to attack them, your post will be deleted. This is the THC Board, not a free-for-all. Unless you are actively persuing the belt or assisting an ally in retaining the belt, any attacks done just because will be ignored.

Miscellaneous

Advertising of other sites in The Domain is not allowed; nor do we affiliate wih anyone, don't bother asking.

The Domain has rights! If you quit or are banned, no matter what the circumstance, we have the right to your character for a week from the termination date.

NO OOC BS on the boards!! Management will delete any posts/threads that create drama.

If someone has specified NO REPLIES/TBC by "name", respect their wishes and reply in your own thread.  If you do reply to the thread, your post will be deleted.

GWE (Chaos Theory will follow MNH rules until further notice - see above.)

• If you beat NPC's they count as half a point.

• If you are in a tag match and you win, it also counts as a point

• If you lose a tag match, it does count towards your 3 match victories just as winning the match does so make sure to not leave your partner hanging
  
• Storylined matches will be discussed with the GM of Chaos Theory and in the case of needing a count out or a no contest match to further your Storyline you both will recieve a half a match point.
• There is no longer Disqualifications in GWE...We are the Empire of Extreme so we don't need to be taking the easy way out.  However constant  run-ins and attacks without some direction will be dealt with by the GM. 

Again...have fun, enjoy yourself and play the game!!
