Road to Glory: If Naonobu Murkami costs a lot, I'm going to be *soooo* pissed


Recommended Posts

...Why is Al the Hillbilly on your roster? If you're going to job, at least job to GOOD wrestlers.

 

Popularity.

 

Granted, I'm not a Brute, but a dominant win still will get me a couple points at least. A dominant win over a guy in the 20s? That's jumping up half a dozen points, easy. The matches will suck. No doubt about that. But I'll spend another $700 for 7 or so popularity, sure.

 

Same thing's going to happen to Tank. Ekuma I'll probably have a small feud with, have him get over with menace then job like hell to me. He's also fantastic backstage, so I'm considering keeping him. Ash I'll let get over through entertainment/squashes, but yet again, feeding him to me.

 

Admittedly, I should be pushing to get the most popular NYCW guy I can, given that we're in the same region. (I am Tri-State, right? >_> ) A working agreement roll with them-although Stomper would refuse :mad:-would be one of my best-case scenarios.

 

Anyway, I'm a little backlogged on my WLW diary; almost got the show booked, and writing it will take ~15 minutes. After that...NYCW has Gang Wars, which I'll probably update in-game but not necessarily in a post (I'll be posting the tourney brackets). CGC...I just finished a show where I debuted three guys. TV's coming up, so...crap. Bunch of fallout probably. That one's going up last.

 

In short:

 

WLW

This

NYCW (maybe)

CGC

 

Edit: Oh, yeah, since I'm here, I made cannoli!

Edit: Got a cannoli with a relatively-large bit of the not-quite-candied orange rind; not fun on that. Otherwise a good enough filling. But my god, I made tea and put the extra simple syrup in it and I've had a horrible aftertaste for...near 12 hours, I think, and that's if it only started at lunch. I ate dinner and MY MOUTH STILL IS HORRIBLE.

Guess I need to get this rolling, what with the lack of response in the last...four days? Yeah, way too long without a post. A bit of sarcasm, yes.

 

~~~

 

I had apparently gone on a spree of wanting to hire crappy and/or popular and/or menacing and/or good workers. I didn't hire any of them.

 

I assigned that charismatic guy as my manager. He's probaby going to get ring rust, but hopefully I can get him popular enough in one show that he doesn't tank the ratings of future shows.

Clever name?

That...likely won't be too problematic for me. I hope.

It was for TCW, though. Troy's one of their top-tier workers; aside from Cornell, he's...aside from him and Joey, I think Troy ends up benig their third-best overall worker. Wolf has a bit less psych as well as Bach.

Things I learned:

 

1. I have worst chemistry with the promo-god. Oh well; guess I'll just use him as an unofficial manager, then.

 

2. Agent 69 and The Tic have poor chemistry. Oh well.

 

3. HONEY GOLIGHTLY AND AGENT 69 HAVE POSITIVE ANNOUNCER CHEMISTRY YES! Too bad it isn't an always-there bonus, but ****, I'll take it.

 

4. I somehow managed to avoid the 4-match penalty with Al even in the post-show.

WHAT THE

 

 

 

 

Edit: by the way, the answer was 21 points. I'm now sitting at 25 popularity in the Tri-State. Time to whore myself out :D

HATE:

 

I Hate This Game© (myself) vs. Tank Bradley (who is likely pissed after I fired Al, with whom he was loyal)

 

Agent 69© vs. Davis Wayne Newton

 

That's it. NO MORE MATCHES NO MORE LOSSES DAMMIT.

 

Note: I have changed the match ratio to 50%; I have added a storyline between Gordon, myself, and Agent 69.

Let me guess, you are setting the world record for bankrupting your promotion?:)

 

Most times, possibly. But someone else bankrupted in 3 months (accidentally) in their RtG game, (I think a Written owner and something had to do with it) so no to the fastest.

 

~~~

 

Additions to the roster:

 

Danny Patterson, $350 (will team with Ekuma as a menacing-as-hell duo. I'll use one or the other occasionally in monster unleashed angels to see if I can rocket them in popularity.)

Jared Johnson, $400 (Great technical skills, though he's a bit less psychologically-gifted than I'd like. I'm hoping he can train me a bit every other show or something.)

Hey I heard you like updates so HERE'S ANOTHER SHOW MUAHAHAHAHAHA

 

~~~

 

http://img1.UploadScreenshot.com/images/main/7/18411272687.jpg

 

Things I've learned:

 

1. Agent 69 helps me as a manager. That works.

2. More penalties, better show. ?_?

<_<

 

I'm also at 35 popularity. Cool. I also gained a point of intensity. Our product is 0/0. wtf?

Fine art: no idea.

 

Firing angle: It fit the roles I needed (entertainment and overness); I decided to put it before squashing the hell out of him for maximum gains on my side.

 

~~

 

HATE 4:

 

Mr. Lucha III vs. Danny Patterson

 

Midcard Title

Myself© vs. Ekuma the Hawaiian Strong Man

 

Main Title

Agent 69 vs. Geoff Borne

 

 

With the advent of money being made when I don't, somehow, use $5,000 worth of wrestlers, I believe it is clear that I am going to create a burgeoning Small company soon. Maybe.

 

Also, recall that I actually like Ekuma; he's ridiculously great backstage. So while I'm going to win (spoilers), I'm not going to bury him. Also, he might actually have some angles, along with Patterson.

Well, if he <strong>does</strong> go to a dev contract, I'll be moving the show up and swapping Ekuma for Ash.</p><p> </p><p>

And I'll bury him as much as possible.</p><p> </p><p>

Well, Ash was a better opponent, according to the advance booking heat. Cool.</p>

<p>I luckily exited the post-show screen without advancing, so it put me back at the beginning of the show. Somehow The Tic was in a segment that I wanted to be in. Oops. Fun fact: Mr. Lucha III and Danny Patterson have great chemistry as opponents :3</p><p> </p><p>

Now then, where's my show...</p><p> </p><p>

The aftermath: I dropped Ash 8 points of popularity in the Tri-State. Meanwhile, <strong>I</strong> <em>gained</em> 10 points, to 45. Freaking beautiful.</p>

Dammit! I have two storylines!

Also, Amazing Fire Fly has poor chemistry with both Agent 69 and Avatar. He's gone. Well...he's cheap, so he's not, but still, he's OH GOD WEEPING ANGEL DAMMIT DOCTOR WHO FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

Also, the episode is kinda British-y. Yes, I know GOD WHYYYYY WEEPING ANGEL FFFFFFFFF

Yes, I know it STOP LOOKING AT THEM CAMRA THEY WJOFIJSAO;DJIF;OAJSDF;LKAJSDF

 

Anyway, yes, I know that it's a...noooooOOOOOOOOOOO DAMMIT

 

Anyway, I know that it's a British show, but I can't stop typing in OIJSODIJD;LKAJL;KDJFLAKJSDF

i'M NOT GOING TO type while watching this episode. Season three episode...11, I think. Called "Blink."

 

Oh hey cows :D

 

Oh. Right. The finances.

Sometimes I read back the stuff I've written and I find it hilarious. My NYCW is one such example; the early stuff is weird as hell, yet actually topical. Or tries to be.

 

I look at my previous post and...I know what was happening, but what the hell was going on? Hey look at me I'm insane mashes keyboard tilde

 

Anyway, we're growing, slowly, but not really moving much. That whole "let's do a diary of this lols," idea wasn't too good. I'm going to be sitting with this company for at least a few years just to get my booking skill up, if not to rise in size. Oh well. That's what doing this diary in spite of the knowledge that it's going to suck is all about. Also, I should probably open the game.

 

Also, I'm now thinking about the Weeping Angels. I am exceedingly angry. Well, exceedingly freaking myself out; I'm exceeding the anger I have at myself.

 

I added a third storyline, between myself and Gordon...Johnson? Gordon...nope, Gordon Johnson. The promo god.

 

I never posted my stats; we're only five months in, but /shrug:

http://img1.UploadScreenshot.com/images/main/7/20218253070.jpg

 

Nothing substantial; charisma's gone up a bit, and my stamina's almost at a usable level, but everything else is par for the course for a rookie (especially with an excellent destiny).

 

Marcos Flores is not going to re-sign with OLLIE. Very unhappy that he doesn't work in the USA.

 

Should I sign Joey Poison? He's got 17 popularity at 59 psychology, up from 58 a couple months ago. Solid entertainment, but...screw it, he'll cost too much.

 

Oh. $400 upfront. Um...

 

Eh, we're too big as-is. TOO BAD MR. DIARY NARRATOR that I need to update apparently >_>

 

Agent 69 hasn't moved from her 58 psychology, and she's had little movement aside from entertainment skills. I might need to take the belt off of her. And I mean to my avatar, as in I might need to take the belt off of her.

 

And by belt I mean her belt, wherein she will not be wearin' any pants.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SIDEBURRRRRRRRRRRRNS

 

If I could have spent $500 more, I'd be welcoming Jim "The" Force to the roster. And promptly jobbing him out to myself, Agent 69, DWN, and...maybe one other person. For four hours. Plus pre-/post-show.

 

Geoff Borne and Raphael have a strong friendship. Huh.

 

http://img1.UploadScreenshot.com/images/main/7/20218452458.jpg

???

 

Couldn't get Art Reed, either, for the exact same problem.

 

 

 

 

 

SHOULD I SIGN TIM WESTBROOK? HE'LL COST ME $900-$1,000.
