Small Questions Thread & "Living FAQ"

[LonerJohn]

<p>I'm a new player who just discovered this game about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it. I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered already, as 300+ pages to go through is quite daunting but...</p><p> </p><p>

1) When you are a wrestler who is booker/owner and you keep booking yourself and friends to win, do the other wrestlers get mad? I did find an FAQ about nepotism, but it wasn't clear if it affects other wrestlers adversely.</p><p> </p><p>

2) Again using a wrestler who is a booker/owner, would it be possible to add flirting options in a future update? The booker/owner could try flirting to start a relationship with various degrees of success. Perhaps the wrestler would respond in multiple ways; interest, rejection, fear of the relationship interfering with work, using the booker/owner to get a push, etc. </p><p> </p><p>

Again, I apologize if these were asked and answered already.</p>

If you're talking about tag teams who have long since broken up, they shouldn't be set as being an active team anyway, they'd be inactive. The game would certainly get rid of them if one or more of the members are retired, for example, because the data would be factually incorrect.</p>

Dude. This is a wrestling simulator not a dating simulator...

 

That was rather harsh.

 

LonerJohn, what you suggest isn't currently in the game. However, you can meddle with workers to create (or dissolve?) relationships.

[SanX]

It hasn't worked that way since TEW13, where loyalty was overpowering to the point of being super exploitable. Workers will still try to be loyal to any company they are set as being loyal to, but if a National sized company comes in for a worker in a Small sized company on an exclusive deal then that worker is almost certainly going to make the jump. Just as in real life, there are limits on how far a worker can willingly sabotage their own career for the sake of whoever gave them their start.... and it's about 2 or 3 company sizes.

 

Derek, small means 'Small' company size or just smaller than your company's current status?

 

Because as Kingster stated, anybody on PPA contract in a cult/regional/small company and is loyal to that company is only available on PPA. I am trying to sign loyal Exodus/BCG/GCG/WEXXv guys on written as BHOTWG as a test but nobody is signing with me on written and are only accepting PPA contracts.

 

Loyalty is supposed to work like that right? Or was the argument only for people on Exclusive PPA guys?

 

Edit: do these guys need to have mercenary trait to do that?

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before but how do you improve stats such as Power, Athleticism, Menace and Sex Appeal. I have this Rookie who's in ring and entertain skills are improving every month but these skills don't seem to have increased

They aren't skills you can outright target. They change mostly based on a worker changing body type or size. they change body type randomly, for the better and for the worse. If someone goes from an Average Middleweight to a Muscular Middleweight, their Star Quality might go up, along with their Sex Appeal. You can request them to move up or down in size, depending on their settings. Doing so can affect those things positively or negatively, and it can backfire, because they could go from a Muscular Lightweight to an Average Middleweight - Power and Menace go up, the others go down.

I went looking for a summary answer to this question, but I couldn't find one. I've played previous versions of this game for years, but I'm just now coming back to look at 2016. I heard that it's harder to run a small company in this version. How so?

Athleticism and power do go up over time. I have seen them rise slowly in my RTG game.

Is there a way to make a primarily women's wrestling company with integrated men's wrestling? Trying to make WSU which has men vs woman a lot.

<p>What influences divorce? Is it just a random event? Because with the CV97 database I've been editing a relationship to keep two people married and yet they've divorced 4 times now. At this stage it became more curiosity than head canon and I'm actually trying to figure out why?</p><p> </p><p>

Probably been asked multiple times, but I've already heard, or .. so I think I've heard that Babyface, and Heel performance skill improves, but do the others? Like cocky, weasel, brute, etc. I'm assuming so, but I'd rather just make sure.

Do you get penalized for not running a TV show? I'm running PGHW and want to run 4 small events during the touring month, and then have 1 big event during the month. I realize that could be done with a TV show, but I'm a nerd and want realism in my puro <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.
