To tack onto this. I'd advise in general against getting any new thing (video game or otherwise) and immediately installing custom things on it. For TEW this is especially true since the default database has a variety of pretty specific challenges that are set up to utilize certain gameplay mechanics, making it a wonderful place to start. For a low-pressure company that has some flexibility to learn the game, I personally recommend ZEN.

Is this not popularity?

Add a "last" option to the list of which Sunday and it would work. There are calendar programs that can handle such things (Outlook for instance). That said, there's almost no good reason to spend time implementing such a thing over actually improving the game.

My actual opinion is the dark order is kind of dumb and you shouldn't book them like that. In terms of the actual gameplay, assuming the first scenario is heavily masked/darkened so you can't really see people, then Microphone. For pretty much anything where the actual person is visible and talking and emoting, I'd almost always say Entertainment. Acting theoretically in rare cases if you're envisioning a heavily contrived/scripted drama scenario. Charisma (not sure that's even an option by itself) basically never.

Wow people play this fast. I haven't even gotten to a point where I have an opinion on how the new regions and game area have impacted dynamics yet and people are already like "Nope, not enough. I need more world to conquer."

<p>I had ZEN create an Internet Commercial broadcast with Tiny coverage in Oceania and India.

<p>I'm really liking perception. It makes sense and swings the experience a little more towards actual game and away from spreadsheet.

Does marking someone as "Limited involvement" in RA notes exempt them from overuse penalties?

Booking this always seemed like it would be a nightmare to me so I only ever tried like 15 minutes at a time in the 2016 version. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure overuse was already a downside to booking these.

I haven't gotten a chance to try them yet, but a fun angle for trimming down the large roster might be an 8 man tournament where each loser gets fired. Give the winner a title shot (or a new title/accomplishment).

Given that you can straight up disable "Pro mode" that seems like a pretty unnecessary thing to do.

It's not all downside. The downside is in the match grade itself, the upside is protecting the loser and prolonging storylines. Also, calling NJPW a Puro company at this point feels a little outdated given the massive influx of Sports Entertainment elements into their company.

I tried Internet Commercial (Tiny in Oceania and India) and ran a show with pretty miniscule viewership (about 1200). It generated 0 broadcast revenue, which seems wrong though.

Interesting. Seems like a bit more power than that broadcaster should have.. I wonder how Internet Commercial would do instead, given the cost is the same.

<p>HBO/Showtime/Starz are subscription, not PPV. Cable PPV is usually directly through your TV provider. I don't think it's very popular now except for maybe Video on Demand movies.</p><p> </p><p> Internet Commercial would be something like going onto the Fox website, but having to log in with a TV provider to watch the thing. Maybe CBS Access, but I think that is actually a subscription service.</p>

Buckminster Snark's new storyline is pretty much what I gave Trevor Feather in my 2016 game. I'm also pretty sure I named a team with Damian Dastardly Skullduggery, but it was a power trip angle with Halloween Knight.
