The Road to Glory Challenge
Tom Bombadil replied to Bad Collin's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions
Six months in (yes, I play a lot slower than everybody <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />) and going well! We're still in debt, but we're making more money every month, and should be in the black well before the deadline. I've been in and out of the main event, and am pleased with my growth in everything but maybe the top row. We're coming up on Small, I think, and my current plan is to just barrel on through and see how it goes. -
How do you Plan?
Tom Bombadil replied to The_Monk's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions
<p>I have a file in Notepad, and usually book large companies.</p><p> </p><p> -Sketch out the next few months of PPV ME's, title changes, and other major angles</p><p> -Figure out the next PPV card in full</p><p> -Plot out the "beats" of the storylines, show by show. Try to have something happen with each on every show.</p><p> -Maintain a list of two people per card level to try to use constantly and probably push. 2 UMC's and 2 MC's to use every A-show, and 2 LMC's and 2 lowers to use every B-Show. (or long A-show)</p><p> </p><p> Then every week:</p><p> -Fill in the storyline-related matches and angles</p><p> -Fill out the rest of the card, prioritizing people from my list, people that haven't been used in a while, and people who aren't already on the show.</p><p> </p><p> Sometimes, I also have a Top 5 of main eventers to book strong, and maybe a promising midcarder to push as well.</p> -

That sounds like a good idea but I don't yet have a grasp of how shows affect income. (like does sponsorship care if you run shows?) -

Tom Bombadil replied to Bad Collin's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 General Discussions
At what point (if ever) is it financially beneficial to start doing fewer (or no) shows a month? I've been doing one show a week, with C+ industry and A* econ, and last month I only lost about $2500. -

Man, I'm already on my company's top five. I overestimated how difficult that would be! Who does everybody use for early hires? I have more people than I need, but Avalanche Takano and Amy Galaxy have done a stellar job carrying my company. That, and Sex Appeal angles. -

I edited the industry to Average and Rising and started over with a proper opening date. I also realized you can see estimated salary before you negotiate, and set women to integrated. This should go much better for me, although it still requires a lot of TEW skills I don't have <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> -

Is it worth even trying if my industry is E- and falling? And/or can I edit that to a more reasonable level and not be a cheater EDIT: Oh, I screwed up the opening date thing anyway! I'll try again, I guess. -

Anybody have any good beginner tips? I don't usually play 0/0/0/0, and I am terrible at building up rookies, so I expect this to be a complete disaster. -

I just realized I forgot to set company momentum before I started. Does that affect anything if all I've done is sign some folks? I'd rather not start over if I can just edit it to 0 with a clear conscience. -

Derek B's Mod-Making Guide
Tom Bombadil replied to Derek B's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2005-2013 Mods
Is there a good guideline for figuring out how many promotions to use at each size? I'm thinking about working on a fantasy mod, but I'm worried about having too many promotions in some areas and not enough in another, as well as having too many big promotions and not enough small promotions. Heck, any good guidance on how many free agents I should use? -
What do you folks think of this idea I'm contemplating? I'm currently taking Genadi's 1994 mod and watching it up until present day, and then I think I might take over one of the big US or Canadian promotions when it catches up. (currently looking to be WCW, since WWF went out of business) Some things to keep in mind: -I run a much drier diary than seems to be the norm here. No pictures or fancy backstories, and show writeups are on the short side as well. -I do try to go into a decent bit of detail about what else is going on in the world, though, especially with a game like this. -It would be a secondary game to play between turns of the multiplayer game I'm running, so updates might not be frequent, but they should be fairly consistent once I get rolling. On the offchance somebody remembers my previous attempts from years ago, I'm much more used to playing and diarying this game now, so it's unlikely that I will fizzle like I did before. -Possibly a prediction contest with some chances to wreak havoc on my booking -Lots of info on the landscape interspersed throughout What's the verdict? Any ideas?
