Got it.

Then he should say so instead of humoring the topic with two different people.

I don't mean this rudely, but either you want me to do it or you don't. I don't want to put the time in to something you can easily visualize now, just for you to say "nah I've already made these magazine graphs so thanks anyway!"

I understand your reasoning, but I don't understand what is negatively affected by just changing the year to 1998 and spacing out dates of events in your lore. It makes the fantasy so much more believable. Either way, good work here. EDIT: To be clear, my suggestion isn't to undo all the character advancement, just shift some dates so the advancements "fit" better, that's all.

Hey OP, terrific work here. This is one of the more sensical and plausible fantasy scenarios and I just did a test game with the WWF - it was a blast. My critique is that you've crammed most of the character development and action from across the era into the years of 1994 and 1995. Is there any way to talk you in to changing the starting year to 1997 or 1998? Thanks!

Thanks for the protips!

Sorry, how exactly does one turn off or reduce New Worker Generation? I can't find the button for it in this game.

When I convert a save to a database then attempt to use it for a fresh game, the overwhelming majority of gimmick ratings come out set to 'Awful' even though the setting is 'Random' in the editor.

I see, thanks man!

Hello, I believe the broadcaster expectations are across-the-board too high by like 20 points on every single timeslot at every single size. Please ease up the values or even better, give we the players the power to do so via the editor. Thanks!

You are correct in observing that in its current state, it's a converted TEW16 version of CVerse97 with HGC modded out and the TWL modded in. No adjustments were made to give workers attributes because I think the game does an acceptable job of converting that data and (as far as I can tell) generating its own attributes via the emergent nature of the gameplay. That being said, I will go and overhaul company products as necessary (guess I had a little more faith in the converter than to T&A up AAA) and probably push an update today. Thank you very much for your feedback.

SWF Supreme TV Tuesday, Week 1 January, 1997 Wilmington, Delaware Attendance: 5,500 The typical jazzy riff and lightshow brings the show to open. Quick cut to Michaels and Jillefski who pump the Sid Streets/Black Hat Bailey main event match. Jerry Eisen is in the ring for an interview. The crowd pops hard when he calls out Sid Streets' name. Sid the Kid swaggers his way down to the ring, but he's all business on the microphone. Sid says that that he's not angry or bitter about Black Hat Bailey's attack that cost him the SWF World Heavyweight Title at Christmas Clash because he knows becoming the SWF champion is his destiny and Bailey is nothing but a petty distraction Sam Keith has put in his way, one that he'll eliminate tonight. {Commercial Break} Captain USA versus Rory McCallum w/Danny Bruce Rory wastes time at the bell jacking his jaws at the fans which Captain capitalizes on, laying into the Scotsman with strikes. Backed into a corner Rory breaks the attack with a thumb to the eyes and takes over. Rory controls the match with a variety of holds that frustrate the fans (much to his delight). Captain USA is irish-whipped but ducks a clothesline and hits a dropkick, earning a small pop. His comeback is ultimately disrupted by... Wrestlebot 9000, who comes marching into the ring Rory and Captain both jump on him, igniting a three-way brawl that causes the match to get thrown out. Result: No Contest Wrestlebot 9000 leaves the ring and begins rampaging at ringside, tearing up equipment and taking odd cardboard and paper products from the fans to "repair" his arms. Danny Bruce chooses to steer clear of the "robot" by hopping in the ring and hiding behind Rory, who gets a microphone and goes on a tirade against him and how much trouble he's caused. {Commercial Break} Tommy Cornell is out to the ring for what was announced as a North American Title match but Nemesis is in street clothes and the belt is nowhere to be seen. Nemesis gets a microphone and apologizes to Tommy but says he's not wrestling him tonight. He says he's had nothing but shit fed to him from Richard Eisen for months and he's had enough of the "gay kiddy shit" that the SWF thrives on, and if Richard Eisen has a problem with that he can "bite his ass." He tosses the microphone and heads to the back. The crowd is somewhat shocked and Tommy Cornell looks disgusted. The broadcast abruptly tosses to commercial. {Commercial Break} Louis Williams is in the gold vault with his feet propped up, having a glass of champagne. He says that after a cut the Gold Alliance is looking for new talent. Williams says he's on the hunt for a man who is "truly supreme." Christian Faith hits the ring to the adoration of everyone. He gets some cheap pops by plugging the hometown, then says you win some, lose some and that's exactly what happened to him at Christmas Clash. He calls out Bruce The Giant, who quickly obliges him. Christian Faith says he and Bruce have had their fair share of wars over the last few years and Bruce came out on top in their last. Bruce sneers. Christian Faith says he's a fighter who refuses to stay down and wants another swing at bringing Bruce down to size. Bruce laughs obnoxiously and bellows a "NO! into his microphone before leaving a dejected Christian Faith in the ring. {Commercial Break} Black Hat Bailey w/Jean-Luc Lemans versus Sid Streets Black Hat Bailey meets Sid on the ramp but gets knocked back on his heels. Sid wails on him almost the entire way around the ring before bringing the match to its official beginning. Sid keeps the attack going with a running faceplant. Black Hat reverses a Boston Crab and takes over, killing Sid's momentum with superior chain wrestling. On more than one occasion Sid only just gets to the ropes to escape a submission. His chance at a comeback is delivered when he reverses a suplex and follows up with a big standing legdrop. Sid speeds up and Black Hat has trouble defending himself from quick strikes, kicks, clotheslines, and even a splash. He finally ducks out of the ring to catch a breather and catches Sid with an uppercut when he pursues. He tosses Sid into the steel steps and rolls back in the ring, hoping for a count-out victory, but Sid makes it back in on the count of seven. Bailey returns to work on his legs with knee drops and elbow drops, but Sid kicks off his attempt to apply the Bailey Breaker and catches Bailey with a toe drop. He signals for the Road to Freedom and takes to the apron, beginning to ascend the ringpost... ... when Sam Keith cracks him on the back with a chair. Result: Sid Streets by Disqualification Keith rolls Sid back in the ring and follows with his chair, ordering Black Hat to hold Sid up. Before he gets another chance to waylay his contender, however... Dusty Streets comes charging from the back with a chair of his own. The crowd erupts as he sends Sam Keith, Black Hat Bailey, and Jean-Luc Lemans running back up the ramp. He helps his younger brother up and raises his arm as the broadcast goes off-air.

Thanks man - the foundation is actually converted CVerse97 data, so whatever workers are set to debut in that mod will debut. I'll check and see if TEW 2020 added any that I can import as well.

You honor me! I should have it up in the next couple of days, just lining some things out in my pic pack.

Well, in a way I hate this, but TEW 2020's first dynasty here is being <em>warped</em> into another, based off the <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545677" rel="external nofollow"><strong>Dont Mess With Texas</strong></a> scenario I've created (and plan to release as a mod).

For the Supreme Wrestling Federation, times were great; for over a decade they enjoyed unchallenged hegemony over professional wrestling (or as they called it, “sports entertainment”) in the country. Halfway through a transitional era, the new batch of stars seemed more than capable of carrying the company into the new millennium. Bruce The Giant, who seemed to breathe money, held their championship. The band of heroes that were Christian Faith, Sean McFly, and The Big Easy were in hot pursuit for the gold. Richard Eisen was even floating the idea of opening a small company as a place to send future stars to refine their skills.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Further south in the Texas Wrestling League, however, the future only seemed to promise doom. A shell of its former self, the TWL was years and years past even the prospect of challenging the SWF, relegated largely to running untelevised shows in Texas. Dwindling audiences led to dwindling profits, and though the roster had no shortage of talent, old Erick Campbell simply couldn’t find the revenue to carry on. On New Year’s 1995, he informed the roster that after fulfilling their dates for the month they needed to find somewhere else to work.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;">Then Rip Chord caught wind of the imminent demise of his former favorite stomping grounds and decided to intervene</span></span></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;">. The purchase was cheap – practically free really – which enabled Rip to invest some of his own capital in the company. His star power helped bring some fans back, and though roster turnover was high Chord held on to a few gems that gave the Texas Wrestling League a promising future. Unfortunately, the recovery would be hindered by the emergence of Awesome Max Wrestling, a company that popped up in Dallas under the sleazy businessman Trenton Evenrud. AMW succeeded in drawing fans, then sending them fleeing from the sport altogether due to the company’s horrible booking. Though notably improved over two year’s prior, the end of 1996 was looking a lot like the end of 1994 at the bank for the TWL.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Then another miracle would occur to keep the TWL’s head (way) above water. Teenaged (geek and) software wiz J.K. Stallings Jr., developer of MissyaMail, happened to be a wrestling fanatic and rather than starting his own company from scratch decided to acquire the TWL instead. The company was purchased in December 1996 by a parent corporation owned by Stallings. Rip Chord, who he grew up admiring, remained seated as CEO of the company with the mission of expanding the company as best he could ahead of Stallings assuming direct control once he turned 18 in 1998. Armed with a million dollars and a balanced roster, Rip Chord seems poised to outshine the acclaimed east coast companies and take the Texas Wrestling League to unseen heights.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> This would not prove to be the last sudden turn of events of 1996, however. In New York City, prolonged negotiations with Danger And Violence Extreme’s founder Buddy Gaines has led to Phil Vibert’s own promotional acquisition – and what’s more, the SWF star known as Nemesis has decided he’s had just about enough of Richard Eisen. Vibert has vowed to end the East Coast Wars and fulfill a hardcore revolution as a true alternative to the family-friendly content that is championed by the Supreme Wrestling Federation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Interesting Starts</strong></span></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><strong>Supreme Wrestling Federation</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> At present, the SWF possesses all the means to continue dominating the sport in the United States; it has almost all the top stars in the game today signed to contract, two television shows, a pay-per-view deal, a development territory, and millions of dollars to support it all. However, Richard Eisen knows he’s on a golden yacht in a sea of sharks: any one of a dozen regional companies has the potential of rising above the rest and challenging the SWF’s hegemony – and that’s assuming AMW doesn’t right the ship and beat them to the punch.

The company’s tensions with AMW seem likely to boil over at any time, a war that may prove more damaging than beneficial even if victorious. On the other side of the Mississip’ are the companies of the East Coast Wars, soaking up talent and attention; whoever emerges from that promotional conflict will be difficult to outperform. Even if all of those obstacles can be overcome, there sits a Supreme Wrestling Federation whose promoter does not take kindly to challengers… at all.

To see DAVE’s potential of becoming a true alternative to the SWF realized, Vibert has to overcome his rivals – all of whom have their own means of winning the war – and hope the TWL and AMW destroy each other.

Guaranteed contracts have sent the budget into a death spiral and the morale is at an all-time low. At any moment, Rip Chord and the TWL could decide to retaliate against Evenrud’s provocation and deal a mortal wound to the ailing company.

Terrific writeup.

Marvelously said. I completely agree.
