Small questions that don't deserve their own thread.

<p>Did Adam ever say that he was getting rid of the MMA stat and is that the only stat that has been cut out?</p><p> </p><p>

Granted I like the new set-up much better and really the MMA stat was uselss so I am kind of glad it is gone. This seems to be a case of less being better.</p>

When someone has their scout levels at 10/10, it'll show the skills as numbers. Is there any way to show them as grades, as they do in 7/10 scout level?

Perfect show theory means I shouldn't do this, but I wouldn't want a terrible match as my co main event. Unlike WWE often putting Diva's match second to last at big ppvs because although it won't burn out the audience it still is 20%? </p><p> </p><p> It's normally easy to predict your best match and put it first but I guess the whole strategic part of the perfect show theory is to get the right balance of a good co main event but one that will definitely not over shadow the main event?</p>

@jhd1 Did you design some of the wrestlers?

<p>Storylines??</p><p> </p><p>

Have the default storylines been removed? Does this mean all storylines are unchained?</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

where is the part on the profiles that used to show what % a worker was to the HOI?

I know that each time you start a new game you get different momentums and this might be a reason to start again a few times until you get a starting set you like. But you also get different people on age decline and next big things, is this random? Is it creatives opinion that is different or is it actual stats? Like on one start it had Jay Chord as a next big thing, on a new one it didn't. Does this mean he has less potential on the second or is it just their opinion?

[Big Roguey]

This will seem small and insignificant but will the game be getting an icon for the start bar?

[Teh_Showtime]

it is related to the random destiny roll every worker gets to start the game

[christmas_ape]

<p>also, I know that if I were to start a game now, and play the whole month then when I buy the game it will unlock that save, but does it also update the game?</p><p>

If there are any changes that get rid of bugs in the official release, would you have to start a new game to see the benefits?</p>

<p>In the storyline section...</p><p> </p><p>

The button "Chance Alliance", what does this mean? I looked at the ? for it; however, I'm still a little confused.</p><p> </p><p>

Take the Emma Chase/Rogue/Paul Huntingdon vs. Valiant/Jack Bruce storyline. When you click on it, it seems like there is a connection built between Rogue/Chase/Huntingdon; however, no way of showing that Valiant and Bruce are working as one?</p>

Is there anyway when I am looking for a worker that I can 'Exclude Unavailable'?

What is their function?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Gatekeeper - Usually a veteran who's peaked and is starting on their way down. Beating them is a big thing for an up-and-comer, as they're generally kept strong but won't ever be a serious threat to the top tier. Think Kane in WWE.</p><p> </p><p> Passing the Torch - On their way out of the company/business, and doing the job to anyone who needs a boost as they go. Chris Jericho seems to get this every time he leaves WWE, but also think of Mick Foley's last run against HHH.</p><p> </p><p> Backbone - Someone who can be relied on to deliver high quality night in, night out. Something of a mixed blessing, as they've probably been pigeonholed as 'the go-to guy' without being seen as 'The Guy'. Bret Hart and Rey Mysterio have done this in the WWE, while in the CV Steve Flash and Angry Gilmore have this role.</p><p> </p><p> (I'm assuming, incidentally, these are correct - but they should be unless Adam's got some odd definitions for those terms)</p>

[Gills Rob]

Would think that Backbone refers to a central figure somebody that is important and the company can be built round, e.g. Kurt Angle in TNA currently or Orton in WWE
