My favorite diaries are C-Verse because it's always interesting to see how people perceive the different characters. It's fun to watch them take my favorite characters and bury them or have a fresh take on them that I never would've thought of.

Similar to the matches should be scripted/called in the ring setting, it would be nice to have a setting where you can choose whether or not all your angles are scripted or unscripted by default. You would still be able to change this in individual angles for workers but having to go through and everyone individually is a pain when you're a company like WWE that is going to script 95% of the time.

Thinking about how drug testing is used in the game, it would be a cool option to have a company wide enforcement policy. Basically, you would set the consequence for a positive test and that would happen automatically. You could have the option to set it for each drug type (Steroids/Soft Drugs/Hard Drugs/Pain Killers) and what happens for each successive failed test. For example, if you had a three strike policy for hard drugs you could set it up like this: 1st fail: Fine 2nd fail: Suspend 3rd fail: Fire Probably should allow for up to 5 steps so you could add a warning and a send to rehab if you want. Pros: Morale hits would be lower for failed drug tests because the company policy is what it is. Also would remove "wrongful termination" after failing drug tests because it would be considered to be written into the contract. Cons: Uncontrollable. If a guy gets popped for drugs, the punishment is automatic so the user could be put into awkward situations where a key player is suspended or sent to rehab at an inopportune time.

I write out the entire first show in a notebook and make sure that everyone on the roster is doing something on the first show. It's why I have four saves games I haven't started yet lol.

<p>Similar to the checkbox in the product screen that sets whether all matches should be scripted automatically, it would nice if there was an option to choose that for angles. Most companies script everyone or script no one besides some special cases so making it easier to set this for the whole company would make booking a lot easier.</p><p> </p><p> Thanks for all the hard work!</p>

Dan Stone dying at George DeColt's funeral is the biggest story of 2020. I literally yelled "WTF" when I read it.

They have the backing of a billionaire who is expanding a television network worldwide. Based on the narratives in 2016, it was pretty obvious that USPW was going to be the company for global domination.

I tried to speed my way to Supreme Challenge 2022 in my 6+ year SWF save but ran out of gas. Had a great main event story but the rest of it was taking too long to put together. Now I'm just impatiently waiting and trying to talk myself out of a YouTube series for my first save in 2020.

Was excited to find this but all the event being available from the start in SWF seems off since the first SC wasn't until 1980. Still, very excited to give this mod a look.

It took until 2020 but I put the World Title on Zimmy Bumfhole for a six month run.

A box for typing salaries instead of a slider bar is the best update.

2016 had the super hot Broken Matt Hardy gimmick just starting. If they hadn't botched the contracts, they could've been back on the way up.

I don't keep a spreadsheet.

I went to Takeover Phoenix and they taped the matches for next week's NXT TV before the match so they definitely do this. WWE does this all the time where they tape a couple matches for "Superstars" before their main shows and then cut and paste them into episodes. I share the concern about title changes. I remember the taping spoiler about Gargano losing the NA Title but he was still carrying it on the live Raw/Smackdown appearances until the taping aired. Would be great to be able to replicate this, especially if you've block taping a child company. It seems like a lot of the features need to take eras into account. A lot of the new features will be great for current day but doing historical mods seems like it would have a few inconsistency problems. Adam did a great job recognizing the "social media" and "internet" references were off in historical mods so I'm sure having some of these features work differently in different eras would be reasonable to do.

Does Primo Colon talking about his memories of watching Randy Savage as a kid help him get over? If it's mentioned in the angle title that should be enough.</p>

I just hope something was planned for that aspect of booking. I'd rather sort matches by enhancement and openers as opposed to "unknowns". It would just be a turn off to me. And yes if that is the case, setting divisions would be a work around, but that would add a bunch of unnecessary work and filtering. Like I said, I'm sure eventually my questions will be answered with a journal entry. It could be a month from now or 6 months from now. Who knows. <img alt=":confused:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I think one of the nice things about it is that the penalty for "booking two jobbers" will go away if they're two "national stars" that would be normally pushed as "openers" in a really big company.</p>

Will it be more difficult to build heat when tickets are free/discounted or is it only that they're more tolerant of bad things? It seems like it would be a little give and take where the crowd buzz would be difficult to build if everyone's there for free. Obviously a crowd could get into an amazing match fine but there should be a small penalty to match quality and crowd management in those situations.

There are a few CVerse wrestlers that I picked out entrance themes for in my head so I might do this.</p>

So excited for "Talk to Worker" and hope it works out so that you can talk to a worker that you're resigning about your future plans like "Main Eventing Wrestlemania" or "Will win the title at X" to persuade them to come to you for less money knowing they've got a big popularity moment coming up.

In my game, my top guy with 100 pop across the nation is making 71k a month, that's less than one million a year. Granted, I don't use too many event bonuses but it's pretty easy to run a company and never pay a guy seven figures while WWE is paying quite a few guys much more than that.</p>
