Because of the enormous amounts of emails and such we receive each day, we have created the DGW FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) that will hopefully answer a lot of questions about
the site and how this site is “managed.”
FAQ:
1 How can I join Dear God Wrestling? (or any questions related to “joining” DGW)
2 How often is the site updated? (and why haven’t you replied to my email)
3 What kind of E-Fed is this?
4 How do you determine the outcome of the matches?
5 How does DGW feel about competition?
6 I love your CAWs of ECW and WCW stars like Rob Van Dam. Where do you get your CAWS?
7 How do you make your screenshots?
8 What other games do you play?
9 How old are you guys/gals and what do you do for a living?
How can I join Dear God Wrestling? (or any questions related to “joining” DGW)
Without a doubt this is the most commonly asked question we get. Actually we now average about 10 emails a day asking this question. Most people have been very understanding
when it comes to this issue; however, some others have not. So, to avoid further melodrama, let’s talk about this issue now.
Understand that we would love nothing more than to accept each and every person that wants to join DGW. I personally would love to go over to Wal-mart, purchase about 10-15 memory
cards and create each and every persons wrestler who wants to join. I would then love to create, do screen shots, type out and post each and every storyline for each
person’s wrestler. And more importantly, I would love to do this on a weekly basis. There’s just one simple problem . . .TIME! Yeap, that little bastard called
TIME. Simply put, none of us at Dear God Wrestling have the time necessary to do this type of thing. Please understand we all have full time jobs and this is simply a
hobby. Hell, 2 of us have master’s degrees!! No I’m serious!! Also, understand that his is not an e-fed, but a “fantasy league.” The real fun we get out of
the game is the “human” melodrama during our matches. For example, I turned on Adam Mayhem at Helloween Havok, he was sitting on the couch beside of me going DEAR GOD WHY
. . . WHY!! When East Side Mangler turned on Grand Master B, it was the same situation. Plus we actually fight these matches out. So, you can image the shock on both
Grand Master B’s faces and mine when Stone Cold (a computer player) won the belt at the last PPV.
So that leaves us in a pretty weird position. We don’t want to piss anybody off, we also have to be realistic about this stuff as well. To date we have had 116 people who want
to join DGW. Who do we pick? It’s not fair to pick maybe 2 or 3 and piss off 100 others. SO, for the time being we have set up a DGW Fanatics page. This will at
least allow you to post your wrestler, his/her stats, etc. We are all ears on a solution to this problem. We would love to realistically incorporate more people on the site in
some shape or fashion.
How often is the site updated? (and why haven’t you replied to my email)
Originally the site was updated a minimum of three times a month. This got to be WAY too time consuming and considering we make $0 for doing this site (as it is a hobby), we have gone
to a much for relaxing schedule. We usually post an update every three weeks. We are working on creating a DGW e-mail list so we can automatically email everyone when a change
has been made.
What kind of E-Fed is this?
Well, it isn’t one. Dear God Wrestling is not an E-Fed, but a fantasy league. To be honest with ya, I’ve never understood the appeal of an e-fed, but I’m kind of vague of
what exactly an e-fed is. If you’d like to update us, please PLEASE email us.
How do you determine the outcome of the matches?
Rarely do we “script” matches, etc. Here’s how it works. We have a running storyline, and we setup matches. Based on the OUTCOME of the matches, we then determine
where the storyline should go from there. For example, if Adam Mayhem had won the ladder match at Helloween Havok, we had a storyline. Since he lost his match, we then had to
change the storyline. Unfortunately for Adam Mayhem, he didn’t know that meant that Big Daddy G was going to turn on him ;) To add more “drama” and screenshots, we will
occasionally go back and add a match or 2 just for “show.” For example, when the Alliance and the Renegades broke apart, we needed a screen shot of Adam Mayhem getting his ass
kicked in the back. So we did a 3 on 1 Anywhere match to get that screen shot.
How does DGW feel about competition?
Unlike Vince McMahon, we welcome competition. No, seriously!! We think it would be great. Because of the limited amount of wrestlers you can created (and the time
factor .. . see question #1), it would be great if more sites like DGW would start up. Then we could occasionally have cross-promotional PPVs like every 2 months or so.
I love your CAWs of ECW and WCW stars like Rob Van Dam. Where do you get your CAWS?
We’d like to take create for our CAWS, but we can’t. Adam Mayhem is usually responsible for the creation of our CAWS, and he usually adds his own “skill” or
“modification” to each wrestler. However, the original codes for every CAW can be found at:
http://smackdown.notablefilms.com/ and http://www.kingcreator-sd2caw.0catch.com/
KING CREATOR YOU RULE DAMNIT! YOU RULE!!
How do you make your screenshots?
I have a ATI All In Wonder Pro TV Card and I use software by Ulead (ulead.com). I use Adobe Photoshop to create all of the graphics and logos on the site. I refuse to pay for
fonts. Download them for free off the net!
What other games do you play?
Grand Master B and I are hardcore Resident Evil game fans. Mary Alice-N-Chains is a hardcore SIMs addict. I don’t want to even think about what the East Side Mangler
plays! Other games of interest include: Grand Theft Auto (3 and Vice City), Navy Seals: SOCOM, Risk, etc.
How old are you guys/gals and what do you do for a living?
All of the DGWites are old bastards . . . anywhere between 24 – 30. Most of us have been die hard “rasslin” fans since childhood (I still have a Jake The Snack T-Shirt from
’85). Most of us are college graduates with successful careers, which makes this site more pathetic. Grand Master B and I actually met in grad school of all places!
Our jobs range from positions in IT to a probation/parole officer. Guess which one of us is a parole officer!
