Federation Rules

[Brock Lesnar]

New Rules: ***The Admins of SNME reserve the right to modify the rules at ANY point if they see any rules being abused or "loopholes" are being used in attempt to circumvent the rules.*** 1) Winning via Pinfall -You can win a match via pinfall in a number of ways. a) Hitting a Finisher... You may attempt a pinfall immediately after hitting your finisher. (This includes using Pin Combo to pin your opponent with your finisher like in the case of Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver.) b) Pinfall off of Leverage Pin (Ability)... You may use leverage pin to pin your opponent provided you have at least hit ONE Finisher and have attempted a pin after the finisher. *Be Warned however, leverage pin REVERSAL is allowed at any time. To be clear, your opponent CAN pin you off a leverage pin reversal EVEN IF they themselves have NOT hit 1 finisher and pinned. c) Pinfall off of a Signature Move... You may attempt a pin off a signature move ONLY if that signature move is a combo pin move (For example: DiBiase's Spinebuster, Mark Henry's Big Splash, etc.) but only AFTER you have already hit 2 finishers in the match and have pinned on each. d) Pinfall by regular pin combo Move... You may attempt to use a regular pin combo move to pin ONLY after you have hit 3 finishers in the match and have pinned on each. 2) Winning via Submission -Since Submission in WWE '12 is easily abused, you are allowed to win via Submission ONLY in one way. -You must have the submission as your FINISHER (Normal and Signature submissions may be used, but you CANNOT win off of one. You must release the hold before the Breaking Point, and you must not simply spam submissions moves to maintain control of your opponent.) You may only use your submission finisher provided you have hit ONE other finisher and pinned your opponent off of it. -For people that have ONLY a submission finisher (Del Rio, Daniel Bryan, Natalya, Ax, Smash) these superstars and THESE SUPERSTARS ALONE, may modify their moveset in the admin approved fashion. -Here are the following approved modifications for those specified superstars: --Alberto Del Rio - Finisher 1: Standing Cross Arm Breaker Finisher 2: Backstabber --Daniel Bryan - Finisher 1: Labelle/Yes Lock Finisher 2: High Kick --Natalya - Finisher 1: Sharpshooter Finisher 2: Sitout Powerbomb --Ax - Finisher 1: Cobra Clutch Finisher 2: Cobra Clutch Backbreaker --Smash - Finisher 1: Half Boston Crab Finisher 2: Diving Elbow Drop 9 -If any of these superstars have their second finisher as a regular move, that move will be modded as well to a generic move (non pin combo move) of your choosing so there is NO confusion as to if someone has hit a finisher or not during the match. 3) Winning via Countout -You may win a match via countout provided the countout win was NOT on purpose... (IE you can't keep your opponent outside the ring beating the snot out of him until the count of 8 then run back in the ring and watch them get counted out.) Because of this ALL countout wins will be subject to Admin review. If a Video of the match exists the admins will watch and determine if the countout was on purpose. If no video exists, the members involved will be contacted and the admins will make a determination based on the best information available. 4) Do NOT spam moves. (Do not use the same move over, over, and over.) -This makes playing the game not fun at all. Play fair and play for fun. 5) In tag team matches the illegal partners must remain on the apron EXCEPT when a pinfall is attempted or a submission finisher is attempted. The illegal partners cannot get into the ring until the normal finisher is over, or until the submission finisher is being attempted. -For example... If it is HBK and HHH taking on CM Punk and Edge. If CM Punk goes for the Anaconda Vice on HHH, HBK can jump in and stop it before the submission is completely applied. The same does not go for normal finishers. When a normal finisher is hit, the illegal partner can only come in when the pin is initiated. 6) There will be NO changing of movesets or abilities unless approved by an admin. Changes will be allowed depending on alignment, your character's style, and moves he has used in real life. 7) If you quit a match it will be viewed as an automatic forfeit! You will be given a strike and left off the next match card! If it is a triple threat or fatal four way the match will continue without you. If it is a tag team match, your partner may continue the match for your team and win, but you will still receive punishment. However, if the tag match is for the titles your team will not be awarded the championships. 8) In the case of UNBEARABLE LAG... If the lag is so bad that it is causing the match to be super slow, quit the match immediately. If you continue on through the match, no rematch will be issued for a complaint of lag. Lag is something that cannot be entirely fixed, so sometimes you are going to have to deal with the typical amount of lag. 9) Match Scheduling. Once a card goes up, it is suggested that you make a post in the Match Scheduling Board to schedule a time for you and your opponent(s) to do your match. If you make a match scheduling post and your opponent(s) do not respond by the deadline for matches to be submitted, you will automatically win your match. Please, stay in conctact with your opponent(s). This is highly important so matches actually get done. 10) Roleplaying... -Roleplaying is a VERY important part of this federation. It is what makes storylines happen and rivalries maintain their heat. So please... Roleplay as much as possible. Reply to your rivals roleplays, etc. This is what will make or break the show. The more you roleplay and interact with other roleplays, the more likely it is for you to be in high profile matches or get title opportunities. This is about being INVOLVED. -In your roleplays you are not allowed to use someone else's character (in dialogue or action) without their permission. You are not allowed to make their character speak or do anything without their permission. You are not allowed to attack their character without their permission. For the moment, these are the only rules. If more rules come to mind they will be added.
