I know this information si somewhere but I am having a hard time finding it. What else goes into whether domination agent notes work besides charisma? Doesn't it only work for certain gimmicks?

The links in the OP don't seem to be that up to date; is there a place I can get most of these or would I need to just go page to page in this thread?

You can save some clicks by setting the push in the contract offer.

I haven't really gotten into TCW yet but planned a cruiserweight division when I did. Anyone done that?

Anyone experimented with dojos for this promotion? There are slim pickings for psychopaths an most of the hardcore guys are really old. None of the dojo options specifically apply to hardcore wrestlers. I'm wondering if brawling dojos are more likely to produce hardcore workers than just the general focus dojos.

I wish there was a little more info about Dojo emphasis. Most of them are fairly self explanatory, but what does kind of wrestler does Shooters create? The only info I can really come up with is that trainers for a Shooters dojo have to have high toughness.

I know there are penalties for matches shorter than 20 minutes, but are there bonuses for going longer? If not, why bother going longer than 20 minutes?

For main eventer vs. main eventer you should be doing better than that with 20 min+ matches. B+ for a main eventer versus a midcarder is cool though. I feel like slow build note gets a better grade than not having one at all but they need ok psychology.

There's not much information on what Emphasis in a Dojo does. For instance, what does emphasis on "shooters" actually mean? Also has anyone done any testing with this I.E. is it worth picking a top row stat as an emphasis?

How do you select or change the size of events? Black Canvas grapplings events are all average except for two and I was wanting to switch some of that around.

How does stamina increase outside of some weight loss? I have had a few wrestlers slowly improve stamina and I would like to focus on that. Wrestling frequently? Longer matches? Curious of there's a trick for it.

1) I know angles can improve some skills, but what skills can improve? I understand menace and sex appeal can't. Can charisma? Does the skill the angle is judged on determine what skill might be improved? 2) do wrestlers get boosts in topline stats only when wrestling against someone with a high skill, or do they learn from tag team partners? I've got a guy I want to boost his brawling and wondering if a tag partner that brawls well would help.

I'm familiar with the regional battles and I think I understand the way national battles work now. Is there any kind of battle for cult level promotions?

I keep getting dinged "Segment rating was penalized for poor colour commentary" despite having a colour guy with B- in the skill and then a new commentator with B+ in colour commentary. What am I missing?

<p>BCG is a lot of fun now that loyalty is fixed. I've ran into a couple of things I figured I'd share / ask about.</p><p> </p><p> New Hires</p><p> </p><p> I've had the same luck as everyone else with the usual suspects; I'm bringing along Pavel, Logan Wolfsbaine and Orange Tsuchie slowly and praying the don't get poached. I sniped Azumamaro from Saisho and re-signed him to get loyalty; he's paired up with Blast Ikoma and I expect them to before a tag team fixture. However by far my favorite signee this time around was a surprise that I just hired as jobber filler, Stealth Z. I dropped the mask and added one of my favorite renders, renaming him Dragon Tanahashi. He's skyrocketed since his debut when I threw him in with some midcarders in a six man against the big three (Funakoshi, Torii, and Razan) and he outperformed nearly all of them despite low pop. Another similar booking had another stellar showing and his pop had already jumped to 20 nationwide. He has loyalty and is only 24 so I'm going to push him as high as he'll go. He has some major holes in his performance skills but he has an insane 93 grade for flashiness. Right now I'm having him run through a stream of midcarders on their way to GCG. After beating Miura and Dynamite Nakahara in their farewell matches he's at nearly 40 pop nationwide having only appeared five times for me. Sofu Ozuwa just signed with GCG so he's going to job twice on the way out the door, then it's on to a long feud Tanyu Toshusai over the Challenger Series Title. I don't know if this one of those fluke games or not but check him out if you haven't already. (Also worth mentioning I tweaked my product to up modern to medium, not sure if that is having an effect here.)</p><p> </p><p> Naozone Goto</p><p> </p><p> What are you doing with this guy? His description has him pegged as a future star, and he's young and loyal. He's also huge and has some other high points like great menace. But man he's got a lot of downsides. Bad attitude has caused several issues in the locker room, he's perpetually unhappy and he's terrible in the ring right now. He also has horrific stamina. I would just bring him along slowly but he has decent pop relative to my size so he flips out over losing. I will probably stick him in a tag team and just let him be unhappy since my lockerroom is at 100% anyway, but man I've been tempted just to cut him. </p><p> </p><p> Alliances</p><p> </p><p> I always play as owner and I've opted to try out an alliance this team. I originally just wanted access to some good workers that I could bring in consistently but GCG wouldn't nab. The alliance only has the ability to trade talent and no titles so there aren't any rules to stick with. I ended up allied with Australian Pro, EMLL in Mexico and one of the Small Canadian promotions. It's not only provide some fairly reasonably priced high level workers but I've also learned that just appearing for you is enough to add Japan in areas they are available to work. The highlight has been APW's Boo Smithson (think that's his last name anyway) out of Australia. He's been putting on barn burners thanks to his technical acumen and I signed him to my own contract now.</p>

I threw an offer almost as good as Razsn's to Torshusai and resigned him too. High negotiating skill is pretty great. GCG is gutting the usual suspects from my tag division and also nabbed Shiga, but I've got four future stars locked down with loyalty, and have a deep roster with a few loyal prospects.

<p>This most recent patch fixed an error in the loyalty system, and it's a game changer for BCG. As best as I can tell it works the way it used to. I've ran a few tests and they all went the same way. I had 10 points assigned to negotiation in all of these. I was able to re-sign Yoshi Taku and Naozone Goto to extensions and they both became loyal. </p><p> </p><p> As for free agents I couldn't snipe any of GCGs young lions since we're at war. Motoyuki Miyaki signed and became loyal. I also signed Azxumamaro Kita who was already with Saisho but not loyal; I didn't get loyalty from him though. I tried the same thing with Kimi Kawano and Midnight tiger; both signed but neither became loyal. The big difference seems to be you can't gain loyalty from signing a guy signed elsewhere even if they're not loyal. </p><p> </p><p> The kicker: I won a bidding war for Okamoto. It cost the max appearance fee, downside, signing bonus, promising him a push as an Icon, hiring veto and wage matching, but he took my offer and resigned. And now he's loyal to BCG. I'm excited.</p>

Do they all potentially go up as they get bigger?

What is the purpose of asking a worker to move up or down a weight class? Is there some advantage to getting them bigger / smaller??

Most promotions cut workers, BHOTWG went on a massive hiring spree. Fair enough they cut a lot of their older, time-decline workers but they still hired around 25-30 new workers. That included literally every worker on my roster who was midcard or over and not in time decline or loyal. So not just Okamato och Y Taku, which I was expecting, but such luminaries as Hotta who I only recently had picked up. It wasn't just us either. There were a bunch of PGHW releases as they went to Cult as well but BHOTWG snatched them up as well. And a lot of non-loyal GCG and Exodus dudes as well. They now must have a roster of 83 wrestlers. At Cult. I removed the weight split but too late it would seem. <p> </p><p> So I've gone through and given loyalty to the young lions who haven't worked for another promotion and aren't mercenary. Then I had little option but to hire some foreigners. I could have hired some of the old cast-offs from BH but they were surprisingly rubbish when I hired two on short-term contracts for the Grand Prix, plus they cost too much and they would only put over Torii or Funakoshi over (who don't need it), even though they were on "Pass the torch" contracts. </p><p> </p><p> In the end I gave the Grand Prix win to Blast Ikoma, out of desperation. I didn't see much point in Torii or Funakoshi winning again, I had Merle O'Curle and Bulldozer but I didn't think they deserved it yet and they could easily disappear again. Ikoma is improving but he isn't anywhere near the level of Torii or Funakoshi. Funakoshi got the title from Okamato before he left. </p><p> </p><p> On the plus side I worked out that holding monthly rather than weekly shows meant you get the normal attendance rather than the drastically reduced tour attendance, so I'm now making a, very small, profit every month. So I have a monthly show for each region of Japan. We still get whipped by GCG and 5Stars in regional battles though so we continue to net lose popularity. At least the wrestling industry is almost over 25 at last.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yea between the oddness of the weight division split an the broken loyalty system Japan isn't as fun as it was. No matter what you do your entire roster gets wiped.</p>

Has anyone actually gotten loyalty yet? Any idea what it takes? I've not seen anyone have any luck with it which seems like it was rolled back far too much.

Yea I forgot he was loyal to WEXXV, I guess I better take that into account when pushing him. Have you had any luck developing loyalty? I haven't figured out how it works in 16.

<p>I got the usual exodus on day two, with GCG coming after the usual suspects. I signed up several good prospects including Pavel, who worked one match for me then jumped ship to PGHW. Oh well. </p><p> </p><p> Merle O'Curle continues to be a nice signing like he was in 2013. He was always able to job his way into the upper midcard in a few months for me and I'm still having luck with that. he also relocated to Japan after working for BCG for a month. </p><p> </p><p> My best surprise signing this go around has been Munemitsu Senmatsu though. When Toshusai opted to leave I brought in Senmatsu and had him take the Challenger Series title in his debut on a whim, following with a menace angle. Since his debut he won the rematch in Toshusai's farewell match and has been winning solo matches against young lions following menace angles every week. He's put on at least C+ matches in every contest even against some of my really green guys and his popularity is climbing faster than anyone else in the promotion. </p><p> </p><p> My first month was just getting the roster settled and trying to build a foundation. The Road to Heritage was built with a ton of tag matches and no real interesting singles matches other than Sen, Okamoto and Toshusai all losing high profile matches on their way out. Heritage was also standard fare with all of the champions retaining. I also used the month to churn through tag team possibilities looking for chemistry which turned out well. I especially wanted to find seasoned vets with chemistry to tag with Giant Brody and Rokuemon, which I did. </p><p> </p><p> Going forward I'm going to make the build to TagMania about developing the tag teams, and will use that to launch the rest of the title feuds for the year. Ultimately I'll have Torii and Dynamite eliminate Funakoshi and whomever I partner him with in the finals, setting up a long running "Funakoshi can't get past Torii" story. I'm aligning Smith and Findlay with Shiga as a crime syndicate type thing. Dynamite and Torii will likely eliminate the gaijin, which I'll use to build a short fued between the Syndicate and Torii / Dynamite culminating with Torii defending against Shiga at the Grand Prix in a title defense. I'm also using that defense as an excuse to keep Torii out of the grand prix so he doesn't have to take a loss. </p><p> </p><p> I've got Funakoshi to win the Grand Prix but lose the title match. During that short program I'm going to use what's left of Shiga's pop to put over Blast and hope he slowly improves. Then I'm using The Survivor Battle Royal to earn a shot at the end of the year show. Funakoshi will win that and then I'll do a slow burn Funakoshi - Torii feud to cap off the year where Funakoshi finally gets over the hump and takes the title back. </p><p> </p><p> I don't have big plans for the tag division but I expect if I can keep them in the company Findlay and Smith will take the belts during the Syndicate run. I will have Senmatsu probably lose the Challengers Series title soon in a multi-man match to avoid him being pinned; if things play out how I'd like and he both continues to improve and I am able to get him on a written deal I'd like him to enter 2017 undefeated with a monster winning streak to be Funakoshi's first challenger. </p><p> </p><p> As for the Challengers Series I don't have big plans for the title, but I will probably keep with guys that are loyal or are not blue chip types and let my really hot prospects just chase. I have some really bright prospects like Logan Wolfsbaine, Orange Tsuchie, Tsuneyo, and the younger Taku, but I'm hoping to build them very slowly until I get some loyalty or hit cult.</p>
