Implying that the salary and stability available in 90s WWF/WCW was available in independent organizations is a very silly or outright ignorant assessment of reality. That any particular wrestler was or was not a hot commodity is irrelevant. Fewer big money companies in play means less competition for the labor, fewer opportunities, and less pay overall. I don't think that workers need a negative response when a war ends, but I do think that they should all get a bonus is a misunderstanding of human motivation. Perhaps you're getting confused by the kayfabe, but the WWE locker room was not some united community fighting for a collective benefit by taking down WCW. It's not a major part of gameplay and it won't make much a difference for me whether it stays or changes, but I find it very interesting to discuss and I think several of us are providing strong, logical, real world-based feedback. Get mad about it.

And fewer companies leads to fewer opportunities. You prove my point.

I strongly disagree about the morale bump to workers for winning a war. If anything, it leads to less opportunity because there's not competition for their services, wages will inevitably be suppressed, and, if anything, their jobs will be less secure. The winning owner getting a boost makes sense, as well as workers who are loyal to the winning company and/or owner. However, for anyone else, I think the result should be neutral. It's not a game breaker to me either way, however.

Looks like SOTBPW is offering a 20% bonus per show, not just per event.

Handshake deals could reasonably be accepted immediately, but written deals should take a few days to, if nothing else, simulate the attorneys getting the paperwork together to be signed. Maybe in the future we could see the option of not paying out on a handshake deal. Say if you're a very small company and just skating by, you skip paying someone. Of course that leads to negative relationships and maybe some kind of reputation hit.

This is an especially ironic statement coming from the only poster defending the removal and who made 5 posts in a row. Worker promises are an excellent and welcome edition. However I continue to agitate for the return of FoW.

Everything is good so far, except removing fog of war. That's a disaster. I'd prefer to keep that than to have the search function it was dumped for.

So whose sock puppets are you guys? --- Tournament brackets are a pretty neat feature that I didn't think I cared about but now I am actually excited for. I can foresee a lot of ways in which it would be useful.

Hard no, Buddy. Broadcaster adjustments have been needed desperately for awhile and there's some gems here. The ratings disruption in particular is something I've wanted to see modeled since 2013 and is a game changer. Though I do wish there was a set number of viewers per region (influenced by industry strength and population) that could be watching at any given time. It still seems like there's a potentially infinite pool of eyeballs, but this is at least a strong step in the right direction.

You can increase size, which usually leads to SQ gain, and sometimes you'll get random body type changes (which from flabby would almost always be positive). Otherwise, allow steroids backstage (unclear from the rules if this is voluntary or not as one of the rolls forces you to do it; then again I think the rolls are an optional addition to the challenge) and increase size.</p><p> </p><p> I've gone through a few years of game time in several RTG challenges; sometimes you cap out in the 70s, sometimes you grow naturally well into the 90s.</p>
