I'm pretty sure that's what the limited involvement road agent note is for. There is also the slow burn and storytelling match aims that allow lard butts to go the distance.

Let me premise this by saying I don't know if this is even possible with the way the game is currently laid out but it would be fun as a future development goal. Masked "Unknown" wrestlers a fun option to have and while some masked workers are open secrets (Juan Cena, Mr. America etc.) others like the Gobbledy Gooker were actual secrets. Problem: I have a worker who is kayfabe masked an unknown. I am pushing him hard to the main event but he also workers in several other feds and one of the other feds has decided to squash him so his popularity keeps taking hits. This is an issue for me because his popularity as a an unmasked worker shouldn't be impacting his popularity as a masked worker. I get that secrets are impossible to keep in the modern internet smark age but for historical mods this is more important and for indy wrestlers that don't broadcast outside of their region it seems cynical to assume that it would be impossible to keep a secret like that. Plus, it would be fun from a booking perspective! Solution: When setting up a masked alias there can be an option to create an anonymous alias. Behind the scenes in the editor instead of just storing it as an alias it would load it as a new character. Now the "alter ego" would operate on different popularity than the unmasked worker. So if, for example, you wanted Mr. America to be an actual secret identity then wins and loses under the Mr. America mask wouldn't impact Hulk Hogan's popularity and vice versa. So the worker's popularity is now forked with one identity gaining/losing X and the other gaining/losing Y. If/when the mask is finally revealed the game can then merge the two identities back together with the worker gaining the better of each popularity in each region. Impact: From a mechanical standpoint this would be a risk/reward situation where if you want to give a worker a big push but don't want them getting setbacks by jobbing on other promotions shows you can put them in an anonymous mask. The downside is that they would then start with 0 popularity so you have to build them up yourself but the upside is that if they are being squashed in other promotions their popularity for your shows don't take those hits. Otherwise your option is to sign an exclusive deal which seems a poor way of representing a truly secret identity.

There is no way Trenton would take care of a child. He's the kind of guy that would cheat on the paternity test just to get out of child support. He would have the paternity test (that he cheated on) framed in his office next to his "diploma" from Harvurd University. On a more serious note I'd be hesitant to put more family into AMW. You already have BSS's little brother and having it full of brothesr/sisters/kids is a little hokey to me. I'd rather it be just a couple more unexciting local veteran jobbers. Making them have their own negative quirks like being too old or scatterbrained or what not helps but I think AMW has enough crap on the roster already. Between the Sinclairs, Chris Gordon and Thomas Goddard you have plenty of garbage on the roster. I think what they need is either a broken down good performer or some young future prospects being badly managed. Looking at my old AMW diary I don't know if Roman Heidenseik is canon or not but if not we should make a Heidenreich challenge cannon in AMW. Another idea is to give them a "The Hype" style guy. One who is actually really good and Trenton will allow to be pushed but has a bad personality, selfish performer, and Outside Interest or Most Wanted etc. that would explain why he doesn't make it to canon TEW because before he got big he either became a movie star or was arrested. NEW IDEA: Trenton's Enforcers: Add in a couple of big menacing bruisers with high menace and toughness that have Most Wanted and other criminal activities (heavy hard drug users) that are loyal to Trenton. Shady bruisers he uses to keep control of the backroom and enforce his craziness. They should be terrible in the ring because they're not really wrestlers, they're criminals in hiding!

Nice!

Given that the IPW ones were my first logo attempts I went back and used some skills I learned to re-do them. I'm pretty happy with these new results.

brrrrrrrr brrrr

A few more good batches and I'll have to take down my fun "Mediocre" logo

Agreed. Start at much larger sizes because then when you reduce it down it hides all your mistakes

There was an attempt. I don't think I'm any more of these

Another batch of custom stables:

<p>You don't even need to do that. Just rename the file from .png to .jpg. </p><p> </p><p> It is easier for me to upload the files as .png's but I will keep that in mind going forward.</p>

Someone else's idea on discord. Might suit your needs, might not but it seemed worth trying out.

I did this earlier...

The upside is that it turns out Nigel and Jules have excellent chemistry tagging together so I hope the fans are ready to see these two keeping things old school for quite some time! Seriously with how the fans have hated on Moroi for so long despite his talent I don't mind sticking it to them. I thrive on their boos and Nigel and Jules will generate some real heat when we finally get to focus on their story line.</span></em></em></p><p><em> </em><em><strong>Rating: </strong></em><em><strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span></strong></em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="rA3Ac09.png?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rA3Ac09.png?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em><img alt="azUzbRI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/azUzbRI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1nEXgpk.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1nEXgpk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="UubNZBx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UubNZBx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em><em><strong>Moses: </strong></em><em><strong><span style="color:#000080;">"Hello Long Beach California.
