Here's a summary of each of my three feds featured on the map: UBL: The Universal Battle League (affectionately referred to as "ubble" by its internet fans) was created as a local Japanese promotion in 1999 and has toured internationally since 2007. Those at the top of the promotion have a warrior mentality in their approach to matches and utilize a stiff-striking and head-dropping style referred to as "Emperor's Road" (in tribute to Mitsuharu Misawa). Arthur Wingate has owned UBL since 2012.
OG-Joshi: OG-Joshi was created by Orochi Geese and Robin "Holly" Walker in 2005 to give a home to the rising women's wrestler movement in the United States. Known for its lengthy main event Championship matches and "Voltage" dual-commentary analysis and humor, OG-Joshi developed a passionate fan following. Although it was sold off to the Destiny organization and merged with the LAWL roster in 2012, it still retains its own identity based on its strong history.
LAWL: Los Angeles Women's Lucha has a dual identity: one of family friendly entertainment that features matches between potatoes and bananas, and the other of a serious promotion whose top wrestlers can compete with anyone in the world. Owned and operated by the Reyes family for over 20 years, LAWL is currently bankrolled by the Destiny organization. |

But then I got to wondering... Does Matsuki Holdings have an office somewhere that I could plot on the map? I'd like to add more things like parent companies, training facilities, etc, to the map as well, just to pack it as full of lore as we possibly can. |

Hmm, the map is not showing for me. Could be a mobile display issue. Anyway... White Rose Wrestling is headquartered in Leeds, England. Hmmm, I'm not sure why that'd be. Is it just not displaying at all? I keep having an issue when I look at the map from my phone, the pins all vanish when I start zooming around, kind of defeating the purpose of the map. Never mind, turns out it was a browser issue. The flower icon for White Rose Wrestling was a nice touch by the way. |

Fantastic idea!
My fed, Friday Night Graps is due to start at one point in the summer. It's based in Blackpool, England.
Cheers.

I'd like to add more things like parent companies, training facilities, etc, to the map as well, just to pack it as full of lore as we possibly can. YES! Love that idea of getting as many groups involved!! Matsuki Holdings has an office and training/gym facility for Matsuki-Gun in Tokyo, Japan. I'm honestly not familiar enough with Tokyo to really figure out where it would be though. On that note, here are my main groups: Matsuki Holdings: Tokyo, Japan Walker family: Deadwood, South Dakota. This is where Geese and Holly live. It's on a remote farm. Destiny: Los Angeles, California. This would probably be close to LAWL and placed on a large plot of land. |

I'll add all that in tomorrow. I particularly like the Walker Family Ranch; gonna need to find more stuff like that to throw on the map. I think what I am going to do is make a second map layer for training facilities/administrative buildings/landmarks (or maybe a new layer for each of those?), so that you can easily hide things in case, for example, people only wanna look at feds. ALSO, EVERYBODY:I can't believe it escaped my notice, but Lefty pointed out that we can place custom icons on the map! So his fed Warrior Pro in San Jose, California is the first example of this; a pretty yellow helmet. So from now on, I can give you guys custom icons if you wish, but I'm gonna lay down a few rules: - the image must be roughly square; no big long wide logos, i don't want your fed name covering six states - the logo itself must have transparency around it so we don't just end up with big ugly black blocks everywhere - I strongly recommend a thin black or white rim around your logo so it pops a bit off the map - I suggest you don't try to pack much (or any) text into your logo; you should be thinking more along the lines of desktop icons instead of full-on logos. These custom pins end up being very small, and in my experience text ends up blurry and illegible more often than not once the logo's been shrunk down. Again, see the Warrior Pro pin in San Jose, CA for a good example of a custom pin that works well. |

Somewhat related thought: I would love a wikipedia where everyone can list their efeds and wrestlers and whatnot. It seems preferrable to having 60 threads where everyone tries to detail the 200 wrestlers they have created.

This makes me want to do regional tournaments (Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, etc.)

Thanks! The Walkers have their own central stronghold which houses Geese, Robin, Kyle, and occasional visitors like Luke Kisiera and Jean Carter. Love the idea of a second map layer for these types of peripheral fed locations.

It seems preferrable to having 60 threads where everyone tries to detail the 200 wrestlers they have created. Oh man, I'd love for there to be an Encyclopedia of E-Wrestling as well! I've wanted to make some sort of wiki for my own feds just as a place to "store the lore", but one with everyone's stuff in it would be infinitely better. I'd probably just sit there and hit "random article" for hours and hours. I know we as a community could make one happen. Maybe we could start a new thread and see if we can't get together some ragtag team to set one up? I imagine all we'd really need to do is start a wiki on Wikia or Wikidot or whatever, and encourage everyone to go to town writing articles for their feds and characters and stories and whatever the hell else they want. I think it'd be better to just let everyone create new articles themselves than to have them submit articles to somebody, because that'd probably be an overwhelming volume of stuff to input. Maybe we could draft up a few style guides for how people should write their wiki entries (i.e. a format for wrestler bios, feds, titles and title histories, and whatever other kinds of articles we anticipate seeing) so there's some uniformity. |

Since we're doing landmarks now, here's a AWF one: AWF Forge: The wrestling school of AWF, started by Insanity in 2016. Located in Forest Acres, SC. Edit: Somewhat related thought: I would love a wikipedia where everyone can list their efeds and wrestlers and whatnot.

I'd be down to help. |
