Teh_Showtime Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Question about the "Once in a Lifetime" match really quick If you have a team who make it to the level of being in the HOI, would their first singles meeting be able to use the note? It actually doesn't seem like they actively track it anywhere in game like you can for singles, but even for inducted teams where one member is retired at game start I would wonder still.

I think it's .5% a show or something like that [though I could be way wrong, for some reason that's what I remember]-- but it is also effected by your outlets and what not. The more exposure you have, the more quickly you can popularity.</p><p> </p><p> 2. This comes down to personal preference/booking philosophy. Workers gain popularity even when losing (though you can't have them lose too much). My personal philosophy is my main event tends to be a main eventer versus a main eventer. I mix the rest of my card with main eventer-lower guys, lower guys-lower guys, etc...</p><p> </p><p> I try not to have anyone lose more than three times in a row before I give them a victory (except guys I'm using as an enhancement talent or am specifically cycling down), but again, this is how I book because it tends to be how I like to feature talent.</p><p> </p><p> I don't use all my main events on a show [i'm running as a now regional SCCW, I was small before], so I can't afford to bring everyone in, but I also like to rotate. A lot of depends on what title matches I'm building towards. For instance, Killer Shark just won the Southern Heavyweight Title (for the second time), so now I'll be spending the coming months developing strong babyface challengers to him, so each show will feature his challenger and then a babyface or two getting wins over heels to get the momentum up for them to challenge in the coming months -- but again, this is a style choice.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temes1066 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If a turn is recent, how long do you have to wait before you can safely turn a wrestler again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If a turn is recent, how long do you have to wait before you can safely turn a wrestler again? Atleast six months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Atleast six months No, it's not based on months. It's based on appearances. A guy that is used every week will be eligible to turn way sooner than a jobber you never use. It's incredibly rare from my experiences that a turn goes poorly when it says "Probably..." in the too soon to turn text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy that is used every week will be eligible to turn way sooner than a jobber you never use. It's incredibly rare from my experiences that a turn goes poorly when it says "Probably..." in the too soon to turn text. I concur that it's not based off of months but appearances -- and I've also personally experienced turning a worker when it says it's probably too early to turn and it still being a success.

kemicode Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Question for the Once in A Lifetime match, if my product keeps track of faces and heels, will it affect that match as well if I book 2 faces against each other? Would there be no exception? Booking a Helikaon vs. Champagne Lover main event in my biggest show but I don't want to turn either heel.

BrokenCycle Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Why would you change the entire foundation of your promotion just to avoid an incredibly minor penalty to a match rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 With a B show, do wrestlers still gain overness even though the show's rating doesn't affect the company's overness? I'm trying to get Zimmy Bumfhole up to at least C+ (71 probably) pop before Supreme Challenge in a few months. Would booking him to win and look strong on my B show help speed up his pop gain?

kemicode Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking of continuing my plan to turn Champagne Lover heel then have him lose to Helikaon in the main event of my biggest show then have him face off against my best prospects in El Mitico and Hurakan.

So try to focus on also employing his entertainment talents (if he has any) by putting him in angles that will score well, since angles also affect popularity and you'll want to give him as much opportunity to get more popular as you can.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just an added factor of the game. If you choose to fire them, depending on how they take it they will improve their behavior.
