That was the case looking back at the log, yes, apologies for the misunderstanding. Could I make a suggestion that the game is biased towards pulling in relevant stooges for villains where possible, since the encounter I was referring to was a "kidnap" and the eclectic mix of baddies around Mordred made it seem like he as a) expecting it and b) had organised an international criminal symposium to put a halt to the endeavour. The full compliment of villains in this encounter was as follows, none of whom seem like they are particularly likely to just be hanging around guarding Mordred: The Abominable Showman, Michael Mordred (target), Princess Corral, Vortex, Grand Knight Assay, Medusa, Vexxer Daemonchild. My side, for comparison (unedited from the AI's suggestion), was a mixture of Albion based characters and lower tier travelling guys (none of the characters offered were at the star limit of 9 for the encounter): King Arthur (quest origin), Granite Man, White Rose, Darvin the Monster Hunter, UnstoppaBull, Sgt Steel, Dragon of the Valleys, Flashing Blade Of course, if this particular fight was just incredible unusual then I'll be quiet, but if every quest is going to be a rogue's gallery of baddies from across multiple factions I can imagine things starting to feel samey more quickly (rather than specifically fighting Mordred with various Albion based stooges one issue, and then The House of Amass or The Circus Aberrant next, rather than stumbling into the Tower of London and coming across representatives of two unrelated major villainous factions, and several other "monster of the week" tier solo enemies judging from their descriptions. I was trying Champion difficulty, if that effects villain selection than maybe I'll steer clear of that difficulty level for a bit. Re: meanwhile... logging, as someone that loves to look back on the development of a universe I'd be appreciative of that if possible.

Played a couple of times through the demo, captures the "simulation" aspect of the world in a much better way than CBH and in a way reminiscent of WMMA/TEW, so expect I will be getting lots of hours in here. That said, a couple of things I noticed: Lots of characters appeared to ignore their "will not work for x/will work only for close allies and associates" rule on the villain side. I had Michael Mordred assisted by The Abominable Showman, amongst others There's no way to track changes that occurred during "meanwhile" events that I could find after you move to the next issue - is there a log I'm missing where I can go back and see the "meanwhile" events of prior issues, or a way to include that in the issue log? Looking forward to the full version!

Pop quiz for any Canadian GDSers - does the ON based Wild Wing chain usually show WWE PPVs? I would like to watch Mania but I would also like to get drunk and I can't do that at a crappy cinema.

If it's not a work it's pretty coincidentally well timed; Fozzy have a new album to release and are set to play at Download (Donnington Park) in two weeks time.

So I was wandering the wastes of Wikipedia one dull afternoon and ended up surfing my way through recent UFC events. I headed over to 146, and lo-and-behold, what faced me but a deletion notice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_146 See also this page for some of the 'points' suggesting why UFC pages should be deleted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:UFC_145 A bit of research reveals we have a couple of wiki-zealots trying to remove or downgrade a lot of the MMA information on the site. If anyone has any pull over there (I don't) and wants to make their voice heard and can do so without feeding the trolls within that beaurocratic nightmare, please do. Unite, my MMA-loving brothers!

'Twas the Lionsault good sir. The Liontamer/Walls didn't become his finish till WCW.

*bump* Mdickie recently released his entire back catalogue for free. Wrestling Mpire remix is a fun 3D sim (if a little quirky) and there is also a boxing sim, a video game industry sim and a music industry sim for those who are after some quick fun. I must reiterate that these are very flawed games almost undividedly, but if you're looking for something to fill a lunchbreak you can't really go wrong. Check it out http://www.mdickie.com/downloads.htm

Doesn't change the fact that he very nearly beat Sonnen in Sonnen's self professed area, an area that Sonnen has trained in most of his life. Must try harder Chaely-boy, or maybe think about what do in the fight rather than which pro wrestler to ape in your post fight interview.

Sonnen needs to sort it out. His fight with Bisping was 29-28 to Sonnen on my card, (Bisping clearly took the second round, and I can see the argument for him taking the first too) but the fact that our Olympic Alternate wrestler got wall-n-stall'd for an entire round by someone with no background in grappling is mind-boggling. If Bisping can control him in the Greco clinch imagine what Munoz would've done to him - Bisping just outworked and out-pumelled him, and for someone who bases his game around wrestling that's unforgiving. Hell, Bisping even took him down in the Third! I'm just saying that Munoz must be really irritated he missed that fight now.

Met Brad Pickett at the UFC Fan Expo. Seemed to be spending all his time trying to put his hat on various heavyweights. It was brilliant.

Just to note that I meant both 'smart' and 'smark' in the sense of someone who is 'in' on everything; as another word for IWC members like ourselves, not as an insult to anyone's intelligence, which, on reread, that inverted comma 'smart' could be seen as. If anyone took offence I apologise.

I refrained from posting a wait-and-see type response after the initial heat on Jericho for his enigmatic return, but I personally loved it. Jericho works the smarks better than anyone and this is one of those examples - I think we're seeing the birth of the first 'True Heel' in a long time - a guy who almost everyone hates - look at the rage across forums and sites professed to be 'smart', the same sites that dug heel Punk, heel Christian and 'The Best in the World at What He Does' Jericho. This hate is NOT directed at WWE but at Jericho - in creating a heel persona by converting his return pop into genuine heat the man has excelled himself in a truly original way. Monday night was brilliant, and I for one can't wait to see how their going to follow it up. I hope they build to the guy everyone loves CM Punk vs. the guy everyone hates Jericho at WM. The fact they mentioned the Rumble match in the video I posted, and the fact a Rumble win is missing from CJ's resume makes me believe that that could be the road we go down. But hey, I don't really want to fantasy book it, I just want it to be awesome.

Jericho wins again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0fcDmbX3aU&feature=player_embedded

As I have said previously, Bisping is far from my favourite fighter. But I have to be worried about the amount of blind hate being thrown his way today. People hating on him, building up Mayhem, saying that 'the win meant nothing' and 'Bisping was gassed and shit' and such while saying only hours earlier that Mayhem was a lock to tool Bisping. I think Mike might just be the best heel in the history of ever. Put him in against Hendo again while Munoz/Chael fights Andy. That could be fun.
