Mostly obsessing over how good AEW is-- when I woke up this morning PAC's music was playing in my head before I even opened my eyes. I thought 'damn I'm obsessed.'

"You know how it ends" isn't too bad a catchphrase.

I want running a small company and making a profit to be easier and more fun, even if industry and economy are bad. Starting a new game and losing money every month puts me off.

I was in a similar spot, I wanted to transfer my license from an old laptop I can't use anymore to a new desktop. I was pointed to the E-License FAQ where I found the e-mail address Scott@greydogsoftware.com. I gave Scott my first and last name and within hours he looked up the transaction and gave me my order number...then just punch the order number into TEW at startup on the new machine and you're in, your license is transferred over. Like you, the 2020 hype has me wanting to play some '16 while we wait. I hope this helps you.

Thanks, interesting I'll think about it. I could team him with his protege.

That's good stuff, it makes sense creatively but he's the highest-paid worker on the roster and I'm already losing money. It's a lot of money to shell out every show for that kind of role.

Got you, thanks. I was afraid you'd say that! His skills are declining fast and it's a perf>pop promotion.

Bah Gawd a triple post! I just thought I'd share that I think it's really cool how hiring a Locker Room Leader has changed things for me in short order. Playing GWS, I started without any locker room leaders but with 2 very negative influences in Shannon Sorenson and Erik Wayne, and had some locker room issues like Sorenson injuring Bear Zanev and both of them getting annoyed over the whole thing. So I fired Wayne, brought in Mountie and the second show Mountie is working for me, he's taken charge of the boys and cleaned this thing up for me. He took a guy to wrestler's court and told him to buy everyone drinks-- the first time a guy was told to buy drinks nothing happened but this time the game noted that the wrestler's behavior improved as a result, I guess because Mountie has everyone's respect. Then he took on probably my top prospect as a protege. My backstage environment is back up to 81% and Bear Zanev is back to Normal morale. Just such cool game design! A locker room leader comes in and takes control and people are putting their best foot forward now-- I've seen this kind of thing IRL in the professional world. It's realistic, but whereas some things about the game feel realistic in an overly complex way, this is realistic in a fun way. Love it

Can anyone tell me about protege/mentor relationships? From using the board's search function, I gather the mentor helps them learn and also shapes the kid's personality. Is there anything else I should know? Would booking them in matches together be more effective for development than it otherwise would be? Lastly, does anyone know if the relationship will still be as effective even if the mentor is no longer in the company? Playing T-Verse, I brought in The Magnificent Mountie just for 3 appearances to put his son over but now he's taken on Eddy Orion as a protege. With Mountie in steep time decline I'm wondering if I need to change plans and re-sign him to get anything out of this. I'm excited for 2020 so finally getting back into this, funny 'cause it feels like everyone else is just quietly waiting

Thank you for responding! That must've been what I was thinking of with ending storylines. I'm losing money and didn't gain in pop the first month after a show that was well-received on the website the next day, I'll keep trying though.

Can anything bad happen from ending a storyline off-screen after just a couple segments? Is there any downside (or upside for that matter) to using freestyle angles and giving everyone Major Success every time? When you're losing a regional battle because you're a smaller company than the other guys, have lower production values and put on lower-rated cards, what is the move exactly? It feels like sinking into quicksand... I'm playing GWS in Thunderverse.

Thank you.

Is there a way to go back a few days?

This game is so cool, what a fun challenge. One thing confusing the heck out of me...I am playing as NYCW and I'm in 2 different regional battles with PSW (and losing). But when I look at the Production screen, they are not listed as one of my rivals, so I don't know how high I need to go. The Production system is kind of vague. Like if you pass some of your rivals but not all of them, does that lessen the show penalty? Or is it like Ricky Bobby, if you're not first, you're last! Do all of the companies listed as Rivals count for you or only the ones you're in regional battles with? Or are the regional battle rivals somehow irrelevant to Production rivalries? Any general tips about what to do with Production at the Small/Regional level? I'm trying to figure out if I should be pushing the envelope there or if I should sit back and wait until I can jump all the way up all at once. Any tips on those Regional Battles? In my other save once I got to Regional level they killed all my momentum and growth. Thanks so much, guys and girls. This game rocks, Bulldozer Brandon Smith is my dude.
