<p>I'm playing a Local to Global save in a RW 2018 mod. I've hit Regional and I'm wanting to expand and get a second show. When or what do you need to hit to get that where another broadcaster will pick it up? I've several years in and have production matching my competitors. </p><p> </p><p>

Also, my second question is about production costs that work for per show costs. If I have a second show and have them taped at the same time do I just pay production for each show or just once since they are happening at the same day and arena. Just wondering because a B Show would be less crowds and the money would be less so I would go in the red if you count in production costs for it. If I had a second A show I would be fine as long as I have a good broadcaster.</p>

<p>Quick question for any mod makers, or anyone who knows the answer!</p><p> </p><p>

So I created a global subscription network with every single area set to tiny. I just advanced a year as a test twice and both times all the workers for the American company on the network have popularity acting very oddly. </p><p> </p><p>

The popularity in Great Lakes, Mid Atlantic, Mid South and Mid West is increasing much more for workers, so a guy will have E popularity in those regions, F+ in every other region in america. It's usually two different, for some just one.</p><p> </p><p>

I just simulated a year again, with no changes, and now a lot of guys have D over in those four regions, but E everywhere else in America. I really don't understand lol.</p><p> </p><p>

The fed is based out of New England and ran all it's shows in New England too so this is really weird. The New Zealand fed on the network isn't having the issue, all the popularity is evened out world wide.</p><p> </p><p>

Anyone have any idea what that is about?</p>

If I shave a worker's hair, how long would it usually take to grow back? Is there a chance a relatively young worker (say, 26-34) might not grow their hair back?

<p>Anyone got any advice on meddling? I never use it often, but I'm trying to get more positive relationships in my RTG game. So far I've tried just random pairings, and guys who share a mentor/fellow friendship. </p><p> </p><p>

Is there a penalty if I do it too often?</p>

When booking a Survivor Series-style elimination tag match, is there any way to specify the order of eliminations?

I wouldn’t say lack of storyline is it, since you can pull great ratings without them regardless, you just won’t get the additional bonus.

 

I used to put my Storyline matches just before my main event but at some point I started overcooking the crowd. so last few months I've been using either a Calm the Crowd or a Eye-Candy match. (Calm the Crowd sometimes gets an 'A' but usually a B+, eye-candy always a 'B').

Is it possible to turn one of your negative influences into a positive one? Or even a neutral one? If so, what's the best way to go about it?

<p>Extending Developmental Contracts</p><p> </p><p>

So, I have a cult size Fed with a few child companies. I received a notification that a couple of my works developmental contracts were coming to an end. I tried to offer them Developmental contracts - they weren't interested.</p><p>

So, I resigned them to written contracts. It then told me I extended their contracts. I then noticd that it put them on my main feds roster instead of leaving them in the child company. A couple of these workers had titles so it looks like even though I moved them back their original child company the same day they came up, that they vacated the title.</p><p>

So my 2 questions are....</p><p>

1. Whats the best way to get them to accept Developmental contracts?</p><p>

2. If I don't re-up them, will the child company sign them?</p>
