WrestleManiac Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I started a game unemployed and I've passed three years - Ring Of Fire turned me down! - and still got no job. I've applied for every vacancy that appears, but nobody loves me What do I have to do to get a job? Has anybody else managed to get a job from starting unemployed?
pepper2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 yup, i always get hired by MHW, when i feel like playing hardcore lucha with Gino Montero
Dragonmack Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 What jobs you can get depend on what level your booking prestige is at. If you chose an avatar with low to very low prestige, then it will be hard to get a booking job with all but the lowest level promotions, and they rarely have turnover at the booking position. Your best bet, if you absolutely must start as unemployed, is to take one of the avatars with high booking prestige, and then you have a much better chance of being hired by a company looking for a booker.
WrestleManiac Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 I'm using The Grand Avatar whose reputation is high. Is reputation the same as prestige?
pepper2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Jack Avatar and The Grand Avatar have the highest starting rep. You should start with the lower promotions especially the ones with no booker or the owner is the booker
Tempest Kane Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 You might still have enough reputation to start your own promotion? just use the undercard guys in the big promotions on PPA's, accept the fact your going to lose them all and job them as much as possible to young cheap guys you managed to exc.ppa...
eayragt Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I think if you have a too high a booking reputation smaller promotions don't want to take the risk on you, as they think you'll walk out on them for a more prestigious job.
sitebender Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 I have been unemployed for 4 years and it is almost 2019. I would start over, but 2019 interests me. I made BSC a cult promotion then went to 5SW and discovered I suck! I left to start my own promotion and my own promotion went bankrupt after 2 shows. Now my booking prestiege or whatever is at very low. No one will hire me... So I have made 8 promotions in the past four years to open up and maybe let me get a job. Nope. All with pretty different popularities to maybe get a break, but again. Nope. No breaks. No one is going out of business, all promotions are at different levels and there were 2 times where for around 10 months no one was hiring a booker... hence why I made new promotions. PS. I have noticed that all of my friends in the industry are no longer my friends. Guess they were just using me. Same thing for my enemies too.
pepper2008 Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 From BSC to 5SSW, talk about total contrast of styles. One is rated on popularity and the other via performance. Guess thats why you failed. Having a low prestige might be the cause of your unhireability.
Brak Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 which is more important? The Booking stat or your booking reputation (i.e., if my booking reputation is Very High, but the stat is F+, will the F+ keep me from getting a job?)
pepper2008 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 The booking stat actually increase depends on how good you are booking My Grand Avatar has a booking skill of A. The Booking rep of some avatars start high even though their booking skill is F-. So the Booking rep is more important
sitebender Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 I did try booking for 5SW to the best of my ability, but I do not think that I (or human players) are as good as the computer booking itself. Plus I had to fight the toughest women to compete and that choked off my talent pool when all of their contracts came up. It was just too much, I was burnt out really quick. Bottom line is I'm still unemployed.
sitebender Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Sorry for the necroposting. 2021 and unemployment still sucks. I've made a new promotion for each and every month so I can hope to get a job. Nothing. If only there were a cheat to take over a promotion.
Terminator980 Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Wow, even after 5 months (real time)? How is the C-verse looking after such a long time? lol
Actarus Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I started a game unemployed and I've passed three years - Ring Of Fire turned me down! - and still got no job. I've applied for every vacancy that appears, but nobody loves me What do I have to do to get a job? Has anybody else managed to get a job from starting unemployed? Honestly, my advice would be to start over. I've experimented with this scenario numerous times, and I'd say 7/10 times, ROF WILL hire you, especially if you're the Grand Avatar. I couldn't tell you why occasionally they don't. I'm somewhat assuming that it has to do with multiple factors (many of which I haven't quite identified), but remember that every time you start a new game you're creating a brand new world where different things can and will happen. Anywho, I've babbled too much. Just start over as the Grand Avatar, apply for the ROF job until you get a game where you'll get the job. Then have fun booking them. Merle O'Curle FTW!
sitebender Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Wow, even after 5 months (real time)? How is the C-verse looking after such a long time? lol There are 41 active promotions, even when every national wrestling scene and economy are down except Australia is booming! Promotion ranks: WLW GCG TCW BHOTWG NOTBPW SWF USPW 5SSW Inspire PGHW There have barely been any deaths. Just 2. Angry Gilmore has been wrestler of the year for the past 3 years. American Elimental II is the young wrestler of the year Sean McFly is the 3 time veteran wrestler TCW was promotion of the year for 8 years straight. Now its WLW from 2018-2021 2018 match of the year was William Hayse / Extraordinario Jr / Golden Scorpion over Acid / Samoan Machine / Sensationaltional Dragon with A* rating for WLW
