PENGUIN WRESTLING

Instant joining prohibits bidding wars, though.

Thoughts: Don't like the Fog of War. Never played with it aside from like, twice. I get why people do, but I don't. Love numbers, hate letters. Also always played with the numbers. Do I understand why yes shutup. I have neeeeeeded to be able to go back to...search for above 50 brawling, or below 80 selling, or whatever. Hated that it was gone in 2016 even with FOW off and numbers on. Super annoying, so I'm happy about this. We can debate what mat wrestling is or charisma is or whatever. This is a game. Yes, we can say that it SHOULD be mat wrestling is 20% of the rating, aerial 50% or whatever, but this *is* a game, it *is* numbers. So if this guy's a submission-dude, it's in his bio. If she's a mattress...that's a female mat technician, right? Point is, I don't care. They are numbers. Angle and Guerrero are both 100 technicians? Fine. Different styles of tech, whatever. If Charisma gets combined, fine. I just want to understand the general idea of how stuff is rated, and I'll run with it. To the above: Yes, *generally-speaking*, more stats means more nuance. And yes, I prefer nuance, I guess, but this game isn't trying to be really, really specific (nor should it; I don't want height to have anything to do with anything, for example, even though it does in reality).

<p>I just like having clean, four-shows-a-month weekly programs. Or the end of month is...well, I <em>guess</em> the change would be "end of month" instead of Sunday 4.</p><p> </p><p> Meh.</p>

Well, there goes making a small dev company just to get my guys stats up. I'm talking about...Big Smack Scott, Everest, those guys. New guys, sure, it's not going to hurt.

<p>Regarding what I meant in my post about contracts:</p><p> </p><p> If a guy would accept $1,000/appearance due to his personality and my stats and all, but the default is $1,500 due to...whatever, it bugs me that I have to go down to...$900, then inch up until I get to the point where they'll accept.</p><p> </p><p> Sure, I <em>could</em> lower it by having them get bonuses, work fewer shows, and so on, but it'd be nice to just start at that $1k.</p>

Please please please let this not ruin the negotiations. I just want it to default to the minimum they'll accept so that it doesn't take awhile to get them to bite.

Wrestler of the Year: Sammy Bach. Two A* this year and a few As, so that's fine. USPW, by the way. Company of the Year: WLW. Which is National. As of June. Tag Team of the Year: Champion Force.

Wait, we can ALREADY search in-game for names? Where?! I've needed to do that before!

40 new workers this month.

When you limit the company size, you can still gain popularity, right?

Josefina Caballero, a rangen who is very pretty with purple hair, got picked up by OLLIE! And that's because I hired her in the first place! Wooooooo! It's...the guy that plays MAW and was happy when people were poached, I think I kinda get it now!

<p>Welp.</p><p> </p><p> The game refuses to even <em>hint</em> that the OVER 1.5 MILLION DOLLAR DEBT MHW HAS is an issue, so I've hoisted myself by my own petard.
