Chaining Managers

[Foxcutter]

Just a quick question (and, once again, apologies if this has been asked before), but in playing my AAA game, I thought I might have solved a particular "bad chemistry" issue that I was having with a worker and their manager and I was wondering if anybody knew if whether the idea that I had come up with might actually work or not. Basically, the scenario is this: I've turned Anne Stardust into a heel Authority Figure and brought in Katie Cameron as her secretary/manager to help her with angle segments. The two had terrible chemistry together and so I was forced to look at another option and so I brought in Kristen Pearce to fill the same role. Because Katie has better Entertainment Skills than Kristen, however, I was wondering if I could use Katie to help train Kristen in this area (acting as her manager) while Kristen, at the same time, would manage Anne (on camera, I sort of envisioned it as Anne Stardust as having two personal assistants with her). The question is, can you link a worker with two managers together like this and have it improve their stats up the chain of command? I haven't seen any indication that it's actually working at the moment (then again, I've only had them linked together for three months or so) but does anybody have any insight on whether this is doable? Because of her overness, I'd like to give Anne the best chance at putting out successful promos (as having her eat up a fair bit of angle time would be quite useful in helping me put out a successful show) but if I'm only wasting my time.... Anyhow, thanks in advance. Foxcutter.

I *think* that in that sort of situation only Anna and Kristen would have any cahnce of improving. I've considered this myself (mainly for having tag teams work as each other's managers for singles matches) but never tried it out. If you do see any sign of it working, please let us know and we have found an efficient (but expensive) way to boost skills :p

[QUOTE=James Casey;449996]I've considered this myself (mainly for having tag teams work as each other's managers for singles matches) but never tried it out. [/QUOTE] Thanks, James. It seems we're on the same page because I've also done the same thing with the Wanda Fish/Suzue Katayama tag team, as well (with Wanda acting as Suzue's mouthpiece during angles). They've been hooked up since I started my AAA campaign (a year-and-a-half of game time) and, so far, Suzue hasn't benefited one iota from Wanda Fish's superior Entertainment Skills. Although, I have to say, Suzue now speaks fluent English (whereas before, I think, she only spoke passable English when I started running things; I'd have to go back and check the default stats, though, as I can't quite remember if I'm recalling this correctly or not). So maybe there has been some positive effect and she'll now start to improve her Entertainment Skills -- you know, now that she can fluently speak the language and everything.

I'd love to know if Katie is actually getting camera time or not in this trifecta that I've set up (as I'd hate to have had her idling all this time when I otherwise thought she was in use). Maybe there is some restrictive bit of coding that only allows for one manager per worker. Have to wait and see, I guess. Foxcutter.

Yeah...just found out it doesn't work. Katie is now complaining about how many shows she hasn't appeared in. So question answered, I guess. You can't chain managers together. Foxcutter.
