Just give him regular wins over people at his card level and he'll rise up the card.

<p>Company Importance question:</p><p>

What is going on with my companies importance rating? In my companies home country (Canada) popularity is at an all time high, an 'A' in every region. This popularity has not gone down ever. In neighboring counties my popularity is 'B' or 'B+'. These include USA, Mexico, and UK. My TV broadcasters have not changed. And my events have been on PPV since well before my rise in popularity and I have changed carriers to one that has a 'Huge' size for Canada (and USA), this is up from the previous broadcaster who had a 'Very Big' in Canada. My 'A' Shows and Events have gotten 'A's since I was Cult sized. </p><p> </p><p>

And yet I still lose my international size every other month. My importance goes down to C+ in Manitoba and Saskatchewan even though the popularity in both regions is still 'A'. In fact, the week I fell from International to National I had just did an 'A' TV show in Saskatchewan that received an 'A*' on Monday. By Thursday my importance there went to C+. </p><p> </p><p>

The regional/national battles are 'off'. My company popularity is not going below 'A'. Yet still I lose international size every other month because of importance in my own country.</p>

[Derek B]

Importance is a percentage of your popularity, as calculated by the regional importance of each region. Regions can also grow and shrink in importance too, which means you can be falling in size due to a region losing importance if you are only just big enough for a size. This is covered in the help file from the screen that shows this in-game for a more detailed explanation. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Just curious... Is there a way to find out who is managing what worker in other companies? Like if I'm playing a watcher game, I know in the results it won't show the managers, but is there somewhere to see this information?

[The Lloyd]

<p>I've had a scan through this thread but I can't seem to find the answer...</p><p> </p><p>

What is the best way (if at all possible) to increase a worker's Star Quality?!</p><p> </p><p>

Obviously in National battles, you need your top guys to have high SQ, along with high popularity. Pop is easy to improve, but I can't seem to work out how SQ works. One of my guys jumped from 86 to 97 SQ before I signed him. The only thing I can see that made him improve so dramatically was a 99 rated match in his previous company. Some of my guys improve by 1 point, every two to three months. Some stay still and have done for the 20 or so months my game has been running.</p><p> </p><p>

Apologies if it's been asked before, but any help would be appreciated <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Teh_Showtime]

They also gain from their own personal body changes that you have no control over, which seems to be the most common way I’ve seen guys explode into A/A* range.

[The Lloyd]

<p>Thanks guys, appreciate it.</p><p> </p><p>

I've decided against the steroids thing. (your honour). </p><p> </p><p>

I've asked a couple of guys to bulk up a bit. Hoping they don't see that as an excuse to eat a ton of burgers!!</p>

Why is it that on Booking Details the colour commentator and announcer are absent, but in the road agent report and dirt sheet they are listed as contributing to the positive/negative modifiers for angles?

[Derek B]

They're in the top right corner when you are booking the segment. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

How can a companies Momentum improve?

[CharlieRock]

High show ratings.

[Teh_Showtime]

They also improve from winning regional/national battles and a small amount for signing big names.

[CPBHBK]

<p>Thanks!</p><p> </p><p>

Another question I thought of was is there any penalty for not having a colour commentator?</p>

[Clark K]

Does an announcer or colour guy's overness effect anything? Also, iv'e noticed that some A.I. companies are getting lower show ratings then their segment ratings should add up to. I was wondering why that was? I know from checking the editor that it isn't because of low booking skill and i also have roster and booking penalties turned off.

[Teh_Showtime]

It could probably be production penalties

[Clark K]

Unlikely, since one of the feds i was referring to is USPW. I would assume they can afford the highest levels in terms of production values

I think USPW is a storyline promotion</p>

[Clark K]

thanks for the replies, guys. That actually could be the cause as far as USPW and SWF go. Although, it is also happening to a created Japanese fed with PGHW's product. Its actually happening to about 5 or 6 feds

[Kingster]

How long does it take until a freelancer is willing to work for me again after their contract has run out?

[CharlieRock]

Thanks!

iirc Only if the event is broadcast.

[Corey]

I got a note I've not gotten before about the crowd expecting higher match intensity and danger - it basically tanked an entire PPV. I tried the show at two different venues, thinking maybe that was the cause but the note remained. What is this note tied to? The PPV providers? The product somehow? I tried to alter it a bit but it had no effect. Just wondering what the cause is and what I can do to alter it before the next PPV I run...

Have you changed your Product lately? Typically that note comes up when you change your Product, but don't adjust the Match Intensity and Match Danger. There is a "Data Check" button that you can click, and it will tell you if you're settings are not correct.
