If someone asks to be recalled from developmental, is that a good signal that they are ready? I see some wrestlers who still have abilities which can be dramatically improve ask to be promoted to the main roster. What do you guys do in this situation?

His progress over six months is significant for me and it's happened more than once.</p>

[Tom Bombadil]

Is there a good resource somewhere for relationships and personalities? I'm working on a mod and I know a lot of backstage stuff but I am sure there is much more that isn't on my radar.

<p>If I play with 'strict storylines' turned off (I track all my feuds using a spreadsheet) is there any advantage or disadvantage to in adding/not adding storylines in the office menu?</p><p> </p><p>

Am I missing out on bonuses? Does the end storyline road agent note increase thr blow off match rating?</p>

[Munit]

For real world modern day mods is there any tips to getting A matches/Shows? I know in the 80/90s mods its a hell of a lot easier. But when I book WWE or NJPW or even ROH for example im having problems, yet I see people on this forum booking NJPW to the top and getting companies like ROH to get A matches. Any help?

You can still run storylines successfully with strict storylines turned off though, it just means you don’t have to keep a minimum number of them.</p>

[ShaunGBD]

I run a lot of 5 vs 5. 5 guys I'm pushing vs 5 joggers and have the 5 I'm pushing add the dominant note to all 5. Do they all 5 gain pop if I do it this way?

[KyleCamelot]

<p>Is there a point (beside realism or fairness) of increasing match danger/intensity beyond the minimum?</p><p> </p><p>

Specifically, my product should have 40%-60% match danger. Is there a benefit to having it at 60 to offset the added injury risk?</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks!</p>

<p>How 'strict' is 'strict storylines'? </p><p>

I usually run about 6-7 and most are B+ to A*. But I have 'strict storylines' set to off and use mainly freestyle angles. I am worried if I turn on strictness then I will have to follow some sort of angle order that I cannot figure out.</p>

[LlamaSquad]

Strict Storylines stipulates that you must have, IIRC, 3 storylines of C or thereabouts heat. It doesn’t affect your actual booking.

Some sort of angle order?

[Bigpapa42]

Some sort of angle order?

 

I'm thinking something like how linked stories required certain angle types at each point to advance the story chain on older TEW versions.

[Teh_Showtime]

It scales to promotion size, but this is correct. It’s just maintaining a number of hot storylines

 

Doesn’t matter how you get them to the required heat levels or how long they’ve been running

<p>Future Inductee</p><p> </p><p>

If you are editing a database and specifically the Hall of Immortals... I am wondering if you change some workers who are designated as "Future Inductees" to "Not Inducted" will they still get in if they ultimately have the right number of point, history, etc.? </p><p> </p><p>

I am wanting to edit the Hall of Immortals so it starts our empty and only those workers with enough titles and requirements get in (by default, most of the databases have some historical figure already in which is what I want eliminated....just want those workers who would actually get in by the game's algorithm to actually get be inducted at some point in time).</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks!</p>

<p>Turns</p><p> </p><p>

So i want to be able to turn wrestlers all the time and often. Do we have a way of doing this that can circumvent penalties? </p><p> </p><p>

This is more a personal preference as i'm so grateful that we have every option in the world for fantasy booking but i don't know or am not seeing how we can turn our talent frequently. Also i'd like to be able to do them all without the build up. Am i missing something or are we stuck to this process?</p>
