  1. Never had a problem before for two years. Maybe four is the limit? I did add some other monthly event for the month to visit other regions, but i didn't run those yet. Would a change in the schedule cause it? Oh wait. I wrote monthly but i meant annual. EDIT: Ok, i deleted one of the extra events and now my last show of the month as again 7000+ people, so the limit is 5 annual events a month. Thank you for your time. EDIT2: I don't know why i wrote yearly instead of annual.
  2. Before i ask in tech support i wanted to make sure of something. What can cause a "huge" drop in attendance? After two year of running a monthly event every week always in the same region, with a constant increase, at the start of the third year my attendance dropped significantly. Last event of 2021 had 7000+ people, while the first of 2022 only 2000+. I runned the next event to check and again the attendance was about the same. Because my product is impacted by the level of the wrestling industry i checked the other promotion in my home area with the same note on their product and they were not affected with their attendance number be in line with what they did before. Is there something else i should check before asking if it's a bug?
  3. In a strange turn of events, it's the first time in i don't know that i played a full second year in a save. So here what happened in 2021: Previous plans and ideas: I did form the Neutros faction with Kalliope and Snark, adding Azazel given his double personality gimmick, that just started following them around and was booked as their tag team partner in 3 vs 3 matches. However, this group was a failure. I didn't do anything with them. The best thing for them was Kalliope taking part in the Fun Prix and having a decent run followed by a challenge to the Master title. So, by the end of the year the unit disbanded. Kallie was welcomed back in the Tecnicos, while Snark was allowed back to the Rudos by becoming everyone else servant. Azazel... i'll talk about him later. Outside of the event named after the Fun Prix and the Fun League, the schedule stayed the same. I did made a deal with WrestleWorld, so ZEN started to be known in Australia. The only thing in that list i didn't do was the trios title. I'll cover the rest in the other sections. Roster: I hired a third referee, Lew Rose, because APW hired one of mine. A couple of months later i had more momentum and prestige so all three referees worked my shows. Lew Rose had just left APW too. Credit to @James The Animator for his idea he shared with me: two dinosaurs created chaos in ZEN for a little while, by attacking at random after matches. They were Aussie Raptor (Quick Zee) and Terror Dactyl (new gen, Taylor Hernandez), an experiment by Dr.Ceri Dordevich. Togheter they are Dino Might! Once ZERO and the rudos solved their mistery, they started to dominate the tag team division, fighting often in Hardcore matches and great things were planned for them... but Terror got injured and he is still out. When April arrived, I hired my first two trainees from my dojo, Adam Edwards and Ariene Bailey. The first it's ok and i gave him the "Old" school heel gimmick, he act a bit too much like he is out of place and talks a lot about "his times" despite being quite young (19), who knows maybe in the future we will learn about his past. On the other hand Bailey, not so good. Let's just say this, until recently, she couldn't wrestle for more than 6 minutes in a 1 vs 1 match. She is quite insecure, but she uses the power of immagination to overcome her shortcomings so she call herself Super Bailey. Preteding to be a superhero, she often tries stuff she can't do that lead to losing her matches. Both of them are at the bottom of the roster and take the fall for other wrestlers. Big hiring for the debut on WrestleWorld: Cole Taylor! He left RAW at the beggining of the year and joined us in july for Way of The Warrior, where he won against Cyanide. Some of the things he did this year, i'll cover later. Honestly, i think i hired him too soon. Most of the times he performes as good as my other stars so i didn't really need him in New Zealand and he is annoying to book because he is popular in all Australia and doesn't want to lose much. He's gonna be useful for expanding in Australia. Around this time i signed Devilfish, Pumpkin Jack, Pink Spider and Damian Dastardly to exclusive written contract (like Taylor) but it was probably too soon in this case too. Road Agent Classy Paul Massey left, so I hired Owen Oldacre in his place. Bobby Boone (new gen) was the last wrestler I hired, but i did for storyline reason so... later. One last thing: I fired Blue Flea at the end of the year. He had problems with Adam Edwards and he started turning the roster against him. I should've fired him at the first incidents but i waited (and buried him a couple of times) and now Adam (a loner) has tension or worse with 6 people. Adam is a negative influence, so who knows if he is gonna stay with us long. Titles: Conceptual Title: Aukland Raider was the champion at the start of 2021. He reached 8 defences until he was defeated by Ferdy Lloyd showing the results of his training with Skullduggery. Unfortunally for him, he only managed one title defence because plans changed and Aussie Raptor defeated him after losing his partner Terror Dactyl. Aussie did feuded with former champion Raider and C-W-A (The Attitude Eras) defending the championship from them both and making them back off by almost injury the both of them. His defences stopped at 3, with Kalliope winning the title back to turn around her career, but on the other hand Aussie would not be wrestling alone anymore. Remember Azazel? After Neutros ended, Snark blamed him and defeated him in a match. Azazel didn't want to go back to the rudos and Dr. Ceri offered to help him. She then asked for Guru's collaboration and the two of them managed to split the good and the bad side. Azazel now 100% evil, defeated Kalliope at the her first defence and became Conceptual Champion. He then offered Snark a title shot and got revenge on him. The success of Azazel made Dr.Ceri and Guru join forces. The Order of Magic and Science was born: Dr. Ceri, Guru, HalloWarped, Toady, Aussie Raptor, the injured Terror Dactyl, Azazel and... Bobby Angel. Azazel is now 100% evil but were did his good side go? 100% Good, Bobby Angel (Bobby Boone) joined the group when his body adjusted itself to the good personality of Azazel and now the two of them team as Moral Duality. He even refused to join the tecnicos. Azazel is not happy about this at all, but he has to worries about the Conceptual Title too. Who is gonna challenge him next? (i don't know yet) Harmony Title: We ended last year with the newly crowned Fish Kings (Devilfish and Vertigo) ready to make their first defence against Man O'War and Booster Boy. They lost. 0 defences. Bobby did then left the rudos to join the Alien Armada because the alien are more funny to spend time with than the humans. Not many defences, only 2, because Man O' War was busy with the Fun Prix. They lost the belts to Casual Violence at Way of the Warrior in 3 way match that included the random team of Pumpkin Jack and Mister Hyde, the result of the last "fun idea" of Halloween Knight. Lerome Slim and Rehka are still champions now, they managed 3 defences until now, but lately they felt insulted by the fact that the Fun League winners of this year didn't challenge them for the Harmony Titles, so they challenged them for Way of the Dream after the winners's plan failed. More about it with the next two titles. Center of The World: I wanted to add another single title and i did. ZERO was vocal about HK's poor work using his power on ZEN, so he went all the way to win the Fun Prix to get the match he wanted for the main event of Way Of The Warrior: 1 vs 1, Halloween Knight vs ZERO with the control of ZEN on the line. HK got injured, so Devilfish fight in his place. ZERO won in the best match of the year for us (74) and finally he could put himself in all the title match he wanted... except HK gave him the "book", the proof of authority and rules he has to follow. Don't ask me what this rules are, the only one I know is that the owner of the book has to be challanged by the champion (or win a tournament i guess) to get a title match. So to solve this problem, ZERO created the Center of the World Title (that i immagine has New Zealand in the center plate) and everyone (except others champions and their challengers) had a chance to win in one of the most unfair single elimination tournament, were ZERO was the only one that wrestler 1 on 1 matches. However, someone, shows up to destroy his plan: Cole Taylor. He reached the finals and defeated him becoming the first Center of the World Champion. Still champion, he defeated Killer B, the now free to challenge Halloween Knight and Damian Dastardly. 3 defences and Vertigo challenged him next. Master Title: Damian was the champion and was doing his whole you need to knock out your opponent to win. Keeping doing it create a problem for him. He was losing the ability to win the normal way. Devilfish challenged him and proved it. He lost the match, but he made the audience and the referee count the pins even if not allowed. Then the Fun Prix arrived and Damian lost a lot and only managed to get 4 points. Halloween Knight made him defend his title in a normal match against everyone that defeated him in the tournament: Devilfish, Killer B and Pink Spider. Pink Spider won the Master Title. They had a rematch at Way of the Warrior, that Spider won. The new champion then challenged Kalliope Woodchuck and got revenge for the loss she inflicted him during the Fun Prix. But 2 is the number of defences he managed, thanks to ZERO. The new authority implored Pink Spider (with whom he started a team, Pink Sky, during the first Fun League) to give him a title shot, but in their arguing Devilfish showed up and got the title shot instead because Fish did lose to Pink Spider in the Fun Prix. However, the day of the title match, Devilfish won and became Master Champion for the fourth time, but the second Fun League started. The final was a rematch from the year before. Fish Kings (Devilfish, Vertigo) vs Pink Sky. This time ZERO and Spider won, their wish? A three way match for the Master Title. Like I said, they made the Harmony Champions angry. Devilfish spent the three weeks before the match putting them against each other and so was able to retain the title, while Pink Sky were attacked after the match by Casual Violence. The year ended with Man O'War challenging for the Master Title. Other Stuff and future plans: Dino Might's originl plan was for them to win all their tag team matches (clean in Hardcore matches, with Dr. Ceri's help in normal matches), win the Fun League and get the titles at the end of the year. I am more happy with what I did instead, The Order was something that gave me direction for what i want to do in the future after a year that felt a little bit directionless. I already started going there, but i am tired of writing. I still want to make a trios title if the moment is right. The last thing i want to mention is that between next January and February in game i will try this: split the roster for three weeks and make two shows a week. One in NZ and one in Australia (with Cole Taylor). I want to see if it's too much for me to book and decide what i will do when the time comes to expand in Australia. ( I am at 60 in NZ, so that time is not that far). Oh, my roster is not stuck on 42 anymore... it's stuck on 52 now!
  4. I lost count of how many times I did it, but I started another ZEN save and just now i finished to go throught 2020. Schedule: I decided to add a show every week in between the "main" ones for a total of 4 show every month, not to quick to finish the year with nothing happening, not to slow to be boring. Way of The Warrior is still my season "finale", however, i added a round robin style, two blocks, tournament, the Fun Prix, that runs for the two previous months with the winner that can decide any match he wants for the main event of the show. Added a tag team tournament equivalent, the Fun League, in the last quarter of the year, same prize as the FP, but it's for the last "main" show of the year (Way of the Thief) and it's not the main event. It's mandatory for every team to have a proper name. Roster: It didn't change much. Trevor Feather left in August and i sent him away with an Harmony Title Match in one of the "minor" shows and made him argue with Pink Spider after it to write him off. In his place i hired Dee Lucketti... to lose to everyone else. The other bigger change was to turn Ferdy Lloyd heel/rudo, leaving Blue Flea behind, to join Skullduggery and team with Damian Dastardly in the Fun League. A last thing to add, after a year I am in this annoying situation where my company has 47 pop in NZ, but more than half the roster is stuck at 42 pop and no one is a major star. Titles: Conceptual Title: Kalliope dropped it to Deathwatch Beetle after only 1 title defence, because i had other plans for her. After becoming champion, the Fun Prix started but no member of Alien Armada was included in it (ops), so the group protest until they got a four way match between themselves with the winner getting any match they want for Way of The Warrior. Beetle won, but before he could say what he wanted Karrq, Man O'War and Laguna stopped him. This went on until Halloween Knight "kidnapped" Beetle allowing him to announce that... he wanted to defend his Conceptual Title in a gauntlet match, where he started first, because he may be an alien but he loves to wrestle. So he made 4 defences (with 1 draw) and lost the last round against Aukland Raider. Raider is still the champion and it's going to have a match with Lerome Slim at Way of The Dreamer. Harmony Titles: The Ghost Hunters were the starting champions and made 3 defences before losing to Love Gold. Love Gold is the team formed by Kalliope Woodchuck and Buckminster Snark. He always tried to convince her to date him, to no success (to this day), but he did convinced her to form a tag team when he won a title shot in an Handicap Match for her. This put Snark in a particular position allowing him to team with both tecnicos/faces and rudos/heels during the rest of the year. This team too got 3 title defences before they lost at the end of the year to The Fish Kings (Devilfish and Vertigo) the winners of the Fun League. Snark and Kallie are now separated and suffering, but not dating. Meanwhile the new champions have their first opponent already decided: Man O'War from Alien Armada and Booster Boy from a battle royale, as a result of an injury that left War, and only him, with a title shot and Halloween Knight messing again with the Aliens. Master Title: ZERO was a fighting champion and he got six defences, but lately he was retaining the title by time limit draws, so when the winner of the Fun Prix, Damian Dastardly, made their match at Way of The Warrior with no time limits, he lost. DD made his defences under the Skullduggery rules: no time limits, no pinfalls or submissions, no draws, you win when the referee proclame that you opponent can't fight anymore. The year ended and he made 4 defences with his opponents receiving a week of rest each, with only ZERO, after losing a rematch, angry at Halloween Knight for forcing him not to wrestle. Anyway, at Way of the Dreamer 2021 the man that accepted to going against the champion next was Pink Spider, because he likes Pink stuff as much as he is tough. Other stuff: I opened a new dojo, so to have new fresh people at the bottom of the roster every year, waiting for next April for the first class of graduates. 2021 Plans and Ideas: Kallie and Snark will leave the tecnicos and the rudos and form their own faction, The Neutros. Some of the "Way of" events will be made dormant to add event with the names of the two tournaments. Things that i want to do but not sure if i will and when/how doing it: A new single belt below the Master Title and above the Conceptual Title; a trios belt; a separate faction for HalloWarped, Toady and Guru Vishni; make a deal with WrestleWorld when it opens in July; run a story about ZERO challenging Halloween Knight's authority; hiring people from my shortlist.
  5. Add two players and take control of the two companies. Leave the alliance and then remove the two players from the game.
  6. From Jan 2001 to June 2001 WCW Champion: Rey Mysterio jr. (Defenses: 5) WCW Tag Team Champions: Natural Born Thrillers - Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire (Defenses: 1) WCW Nitro Champion: Terry Gordy (Defences: 0/4*) *If it reaches 4/4, the champion gets a WCW Title Shot on Nitro and the Nitro Title is vacated. (Previous champion Kaz Hayashi managed 2 title defences, like the champion before him, Mike Sanders.)
  7. Today's entry is so amazing to me becuase it show how much potential this game has. It seems to me that you can do both a more "sandbox" mod where anything can happen and a more guided stories, with different possible outcomes or not. I just can't wait to try this game.
  8. From Jan 2001 to May 2001 WCW Champion: Rey Mysterio jr. (Defenses: 4) WCW Tag Team Champions: Natural Born Thrillers - Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire (Defenses: 0) WCW Nitro Champion: Mike Sanders (Defences: 2/4*) *If it reaches 4/4, the champion gets a WCW Title Shot on Nitro and the Nitro Title is vacated. (Previous champion Bam Bam Bigelow made 4 sucessful defences and vacated the title.)
  9. Really? I did it just to have a match less to think too much about every week. And because i don't really like (read i don't know how to book) secondary titles. And because i am watching SMW recently and they did something similar even if it was for money and not a title shot.
  10. From Jan 2001 to April 2001 WCW Champion: Rey Mysterio jr. (Defenses: 2) WCW Tag Team Champions: Natural Born Thrillers - Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire (Defenses: 0) WCW Nitro Champion: Bam Bam Bigelow (Defences: 3/4*) *If it reaches 4/4, the champion gets a WCW Title Shot on Nitro and the Nitro Title is vacated.
  11. World Championship Wrestling From Jan 2001 to March 2001 WCW Champion: Rey Mysterio jr. (Defenses: 1) WCW Nitro Champion: Bam Bam Bigelow (Defences: 0/4*) *If it reaches 4/4, the champion gets a WCW Title Shot on Nitro and the Nitro Title is vacated.
  12. I like today's entry, artifacts are a very logic thing to add to a superhero game. I have some questions: Is there a limit on how many artifacts a character can have? Is it possible to prevent an artifact to be lost after defeat? Can an artifact be linked to an identidy switch (example: power up given by an artifact)?
  13. I woder how much control the mod makers will have on the progression of a game. From today and last entry of the jornal it sounds like there will be a lot of fine tuning possible and i can't help to fantasize about CBU to be used like a very interactive choose your own adventure visual novel. Surely, i am using too much imagination, but i can't help it .
  14. 4 is best in this case. I believe you getting the note because the victim was rated on overness, i usually rate them on selling and i can run the angle for 5 or 6 minutes if the ones doing the fighting are over enough (Stars or Major Stars) Otherwise, i run them for 4 or even 3 minutes if i am using unimportant workers.
  15. How many minutes lasted? If the two attackers were not over enough and the angle was too long you get penalized. Usually, however, the note is more specific and says that the worker shouldn't be used in a fighting angle that long.
