My Accounts

Genetic Anomalies does provide a Rebuild code service but it is suggested that you backup your files regularly to avoid any problems. Also note that the rebuild does give you back your pages but not your playbooks so that is why it is also important to keep a backup

Support

Q: I sent an email to GA three days ago. Why haven't they replied >(
A: Genetic Anomalies receives hundreds of emails a day. Therefore, it is impossible to answer everybody straight away. It may take time for them to get to your email. If they don't respond after a day it isn't a good idea to send them another as it only makes the queue longer. Also if you send the email on a Friday afternoon, do not expect a reply on weekends. Your email won't be looked at until Monday morning.

Q: I'm thinking of registering. What is the best superstar to use for a beginner?
There is no best superstar, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. To determine which is the best for you, it is suggested that you try out several registered player decks by asking them nicely if they would lend you one of their decks. When you find a superstar who's play style is to your liking, that would be the best and most enjoyable for you to use.

Q: I'm thinking of registering. What is the best superstar in terms of budget?
Budget wise, the best superstar would be the present limited edition release. This is because they come with more trademarks and finishers than the other superstars. Otherwise, a good choice would be Rikishi as his moves are the least valued amongst the present crop of superstars and they are generally easy to trade for.

Q: How do I mute?
A: If you right-click on the name of a person, you can select 'Mute' and you won't hear what they are saying anymore. This is a good way to ignore someone who is being offensive or annoying.

Q: "insert champ name here" can I have a shot at your belt
A: Official title holders cannot put their title on the line unless specified by a Genetic Anomalies representative. In order to get a title shot you must beat all other challengers in the weekly tourneys for the specified belt, except for the WWF Championship, which is defended monthly at the PPV

It's down-right rude and annoying and completely inconsiderate of your fellow forum-users.
