Just as in real life, there are limits on how far a worker can willingly sabotage their own career for the sake of whoever gave them their start.... and it's about 2 or 3 company sizes. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Oh, I didn't know that, very good to know.

Unfortunately you can't edit that in the in-game editor, but since she's on a ppa deal you should be able to re-negotiate right away. Just offer her a new contract without that special clause.</p>

DaVE is in the database as a closed company. You could just adopt their product.

Looking to start a serious SWF game for the first time. And while reading stuff about their workers and the promotion, a question came up: Has it ever been mentioned how the Chase Agency broke up in SWF kayfabe?

What exactly is wrong about social justice? I know you're pulling the SJW card. I guess in return, that makes you a "Social Injustice Warrior" trying the best you can to maintain unequality. I know in which camp I'd rather be, then. Are you telling me that it's okay to blame the victim of a (suspected) abuse or any crime for that matter? And it's not a conspiracy, what are you talking about? Greylocke said that Paige alone was to blame for being abused in that she gravitates towards abusers. Someone put that out in written. It's not a conspiracy, it actually happens. Anyway, I'll leave it at that now. It's getting a bit off-topic and nobody on either side is going to change their opinion on the issue.

Your July database is the first real world mod that I installed and it looks really good from what I can tell. A random thing I noticed: As far as I know, WCPW Loaded is dormant right now. Also, you might consider putting Youtube's wrestling stance to against or maybe even highly against. Then again, this would put a very low cap on how many companies would be getting a broadcasting deal, which is unrealistic. So, I'm not sure.

Are you saying Paige is to blame that she chose partners that later turned out to be a-holes? Are you saying she is to blame that ADR abused her?

Got it. Thanks a lot. As already mentioned, you can put workers you're interested in on your shortlist. This way you'll get notified when they're in the last month of their contract. You can also navigate to the in-game editor and under contracts you can see how many days are left on their current deal. The longer they have been in time decline, the higher they are on the list.

If I put the "dominate" note on one worker in a tag team match, will their partner(s) also get bonuses and penalties for dominating?

They have to be in debt in order for you to be able to buy them out. With 100 million dollars in the bank, there's no chance they go under anytime soon.

<p>Boo Smithson - abysmal star qualilty, so he'll probably never be a champion in my national NOTBPW, but his in-ring performance is main-event calibre.</p><p> </p><p> Jared Johnson - is on the NOTBPW starting roster and turned into an excellent worker, as well. Already puts out B and B+ performances as an upper midcarder. His star quality isn't terrible, either.</p><p> </p><p> Sayeed Ali - hired him as the third men for a stable of him and Brown & Haynes. His popularity is still really low, but B- in-ring performances are the worst I have seen from him. So, he's a future main eventer, for sure.</p><p> </p><p> Owen Love - Underrated might not be the right term in his case as he's already main eventing a national company at the start of the game and he's on the wrong side of 40 already.

He's not in time decline yet in my game and once I split him from The Natural, who is an atrocious wrestler, he'll have a run with the NOTBPW Canadian title, that's for sure.</p>
