Neoteros

So, I kinda want to begin a Thunderverse game as the IWF, a promotion with the generic Classic Balanced product; if I wanted to move away from it and towards a more defined product, in order to give the promotion an identity other than its being almost monopolized by a couple families, I'd have to change it, of course. Of course, some product changes can take place sooner than others, while some other such changes have to be implemented much more slowly; therefore, the game recognizes that some products are more similar to each other than to other products. However, there's no way to know, in-game, how many months will it take to make the jump from one kind of wrestling to another, before you actually click on the product change button. I was wondering if there was a chart or a map anywhere, displaying the relative closeness of the various products - going from Campy Fun to Deathmatch straight away would be wildly unrealistic of course, but gradual changes (not as drastic as this one, of course) have happened over and over again.

I haven't played TEW in months, since I couldn't get into the CornellVerse despite the fact that the game was quite good, but the hype surrounding this mod's taking me back in for sure.

Soap Opuro would lend itself quite well to shounen anime-esque stuff. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Same, I'm waiting for the ThunderVerse.

Yeah, I've been leaving TEW 2020 alone for the most part because I couldn't get into the CornellVerse (and because the Trails series of RPGs is long even for Japanese RPG standards, seriously, I've been playing it for months, with a few breaks in between to play other games... and they say NJPW storytelling takes years) so I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the ThunderVerse.

Will the characters from The Legend of Korra be included? Korra would be just as likely as Toph to step into a ring for the lulz.

You can still do it, the more blood the better.

Well done man. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> About NeoTokyo, if they are supposed to be a company hell bent on discovering new talent, you could put an age or employment limit on the hiring rules, so that they will only hire young, unemployed people. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Yeah, I have been unable to get into the C-Verse, too. The women's mod might change that, since the deathmatch promotion and the cyberpunk one seem like they'd be fun.

Seconded. Especially with the new patch, that introduces product-specific angle/match lengths, being more specific wouldn't hurt.

I don't think I'll go that far, but it's an option. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Just wanted to make sure no one else had picked a similar concept, having two more or less identical companies in the mod would be kinda weird.

<p>While my internet connection's gone, I've been tinkering with the database, but I wanted to know if you like this idea...</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="49932" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong>Winged Lion Wrestling</strong><p> </p><p> [?] - Present</p><p> [?]</p><p> Ranked [?] in world</p><p> $ [?]</p><p> Based in Southern Mediterranean</p><p> Carnival Days</p><p> </p><p> Ancient Commedia dell'Arte and modern professional wrestling have been compared more than once, in that they feature performers playing very defined roles that improvise most of their lines, or moves, while following a loose plot where only the most important set pieces have been planned and rehearsed in advance. </p><p> </p><p> It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that [?], heiress to one of Venice's oldest families, decided to take things full circle by using some of her family's finances (or what's left of them, since the fate of her family and that of the city have been one and the same for as long as there's been a Venice, and things have been going south for the city since before Napoleon rolled in) to prop up a touring professional wrestling promotion that takes that comparison, and milks it for all its worth.</p><p> </p><p> Mixing the light-hearted humour of the ancient comedy troupes and the rock-solid technical grappling of the strongmen (and strongwomen) of old, WLW may be to the earliest days of professional wrestling what steampunk novels are to the Victorian era (that is, if you're looking for an accurate portrayal of it, you should probably look elsewhere), but if mad engineers and sky pirates can be entertaining, why can't WLW be that, too?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> ...or if I should run with another concept entirely: other cool concepts I've been toying with, there's a RAW analogue (but with a Lighthearted Entertainment product) that's run by a TV channel whose owner resembles Mark Carnie, so basically a thinly veiled Silvio Berlusconi analogue (up to and including at least a relative of some foreign strongman in the roster), a Gritty Adult Noir company based in Sicily that's all about standing up to the Mafia in and out of kayfabe, and a women's company a Respectful Wrestling approach, founded by a female veteran who was briefly contacted by not-Mark Carnie, only to pull out before his own company's debut after it became clear that he wasn't interested in including female wrestlers as more than comic relief or eye candy.</p><p> </p><p> Which one do you prefer, out of these four concepts? <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Those young girls are amazing, when willr0ck's women's mod will come out I will surely pick them back up again. Kaori Takenouchi is one hell of a badass, too.

You probably heard, on Discord, about my plan to go full meme with some of the characters in Blake Trask's IndyBooster mod, as a LtG company that'd eventually join the COTT and spearhead a territorial renaissance through the power of everything Jim Cornette hates; I thought about using the Comix Wrestling League or Wrestlasaurus X logos Kamchatka made, but the former's superhero theme and the latter's dinosaur theme don't leave me a lot of room to do my own thing and don't fit the territorial mold, so... ...what about a banner/logo combo for a company called OWO (Ohio Wrestling Organization) reminiscent of the New Generation-era WWF logo, or with the same comic book vibe at least, but with a blue/red/white colour scheme going on, the same of Ohio's flag? The memey acronym is not a coincidence.

Do we have to work directly on the database, or just send you outlines? Because in the database you sent me, there seem to be a few issues, maybe due to the jump from 2016 to 2020.

Basically, if you pay you can book your own match, yeah.

And Mission Pro Wrestling, it's brand new but that's what would be cool about it, take a newborn company to the top.

<p><strong>Spot Fest/Stunt Show</strong></p><p> </p><p> Basically, just as some products replace "Regular" as the standard match aim with "Deathmatch" or "Hardcore", this product could have "High Spots" as its standard match aim, with crazy/stunt bumps and high flying aids being as commonplace as an Irish Whip in your average match. </p><p> </p><p> On one hand, such a product would probably be very crowd-friendly but, on the other hand, it'd take quite a toll on the workers' bodies.</p>

That flag, did something happen in Oceania?

A picture pack with C-Verse style versions of wrestlers, belts, logos, banners, etc. would be a cool ass idea, too.

Kinda unusual but hey, if we have a small/medium/large division setting for women's wrestling, why not do it the other way around too, and have the option to create promotions with women as the main attraction and a small/medium/large men's division as a side dish?
