If it's not a technological limitation, I also wonder if heavily related things could be grouped together and have lines between them dropped to signify the grouping. For example, Brawling, Puroresu, and Hardcore had always been grouped under Rumble in previous game menus and having those within the same line/cell might be handy.</p>

I had kind of lost interest in my 2016 game(s). I've thought a couple times in the last month or so about starting a new one, but with 2020 on the horizon and the new features I figured I'd just wait. I may not get the new game on release day, but whenever I think about playing it again after that.

<strong>ALF</strong>: This worker is an alien life form from another planet. They will generally not be very social but will make a few very close friends. If they are overexposed they may attract the attention of secret government agencies that attempt to abduct them and perform experiments. They also eat cats, which occasionally leads to odd backstage incidents.

Pop change: way down (far fewer viewers) Money: depends You will also have a lower buy rate each week until the next month starts.

Damian Dastardly, Suburban Legend, Kalliope Woodchuck I mostly only know the ZEN oddballs.

Misc has a base cost relative to the size of your company representing all the random stuff involved in running a company. It goes up huge at bigger levels because those are massive jumps in infrastructure you have to maintain. Marketing goes into its own character because...it has a category to go into.

Some ideas: A Cut Above Tory Nation The House of Lords

What sorts of things would people do when booking a babyface stable? Other than brief alliances to root out a heel stable, I'm not very familiar with any real world examples.

I've never used multiplayer in TEW so am unfamiliar with how it works mechanically. But, if you and someone else were playing direct competitor with similar schedules this would add some unpredictability to the competition since there might be some surprises at who gets over. I'm mostly thinking of the Xavier Woods and Tyler Breeze SvR GM mode thing on YouTube. Them not picking winners makes it fairly chaotic.

The CVerse mostly. With sim-style game, I like making that connection to a world I'm not familiar with and the CVerse is probably my favorite. When I messed around with Football Manager once upon a time I would play in like the Ukrainian Second League or such to get a similar experience (since even though all the people are real I don't actually know any of them before I start up), but the CVerse is much richer with personality.

That seems more interesting in a multiplayer setting. Or maybe as a "Give Me Rules For a Game" bit of nonsense.</p>

I looked for a partner for Powell too but didn't get anything I liked. That said, I always saw more potential in him since he can be a heel and face whereas Nelson felt pretty one dimensional. Never had much in the way of backstage problems since without even really trying I got enough positive influences added to the roster to get the rating up to 100%.</p>

What do people normally do with Shane Nelson and Ryan Powell? They would be pretty easy to get rid of, but their descriptions made me really want to keep them on the roster and do something and I'm pretty happy that I've managed to get Nelson into a good tag team championship run with Warren Technique and Powell into a pretty good Canadian championship feud where I think I'm going to have him win it. They seem like people who would be good for personal challenges a la the <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541853" rel="external nofollow">Give Me Rules For a Game</a> thread.

Roster: It's a good opportunity to get some matches for undercard guys. It should help with stats, especially stamina since you can give longer matches to guys who get the chance. I'm almost positive nobody gets upset at being left off a B-show. It's not clear to me if it helps with morale of being left off the A-show. Popularity changes are pretty inconsequential for a B-show, but you can get momentum built up. You can get morale bonuses for "Please at a win from (show)" if you book competitive pairings. Finances: You can book small cards, to minimize worker cost for the show. Using guys on written deals keeps the show costs down. Try to avoid booking PPAs if you're having financial trouble. You can save money on your main event guys by giving them contracts that skip the B-show. Timeslot is based on company popularity/importance, not show grades.

I've historically changed gimmicks when people were unsuited (either from starting that way or becoming unsuited after I assigned it). That said, it's not clear to me there's actually an impact to match/angle ratings for it. I get the note on the main match page, but nothing in the Dirt Sheet tab.

Wow. NOTBPW jumped back to National and tried to poach Christian Price. I somehow won a bidding war that USPW, SWF, and TCW all ended up in on.

I have a few ideas for this: Treat them right: If you bring in any of the following, you must give them Creative Control in their contracts. You must hire at least 3 of them. Hogan Nash Hall Flair DDP Booker T Goldberg Scott Steiner Sting Awkward Pairing: One of the tag team champions must jump ship. However, they must continue to defend the titles for at least 3 months after this happens. Who needs evolution?: Mark Jindrak must pin Triple H clean in a singles match on a PPV at some point Buff has the Stuff: Buff Bagwell must win every title he's eligible for after the brand split. Bonus points whenever he holds multiple at once.

What's with those storylines? Do you just make one with everybody on the roster?

Fighting Irish are great although they start with as much or more popularity as any team in CGC. I didn't really find any ready made teams fit to be middling in the division, which I thought was all well and good since the teams CGC starts with are fairly unsepctacular already. I brought Jamie Atherton and Mimic in as a new team to bring some flashiness to the division. They don't have amazing chemistry, but their skill sets were what I wanted. I tried the Good Ol' Boys for a bit and wasn't a fan. I'v got Going Coastal right now, but they start with no pop in Canada. Demarcus & Gray are kind of fun also, but also no pop in Canada to start with.
