If I, as a touring company, offer someone a bonus per event in their contract, does that bonus only apply to big monthly/annual/special events, or do they get it for appearing on the small weekly tour events as well?

So yes if you offer a bonus per event it will hit all tour shows. The exception are TV tapings.</p>

What qualities make a good developmental teacher? I assumed it was high respect, psychology, and basics but I've had worked fit that description say they don't have the qualities to be good teachers when I send them to developmental.

Will there ever be OR has there ever been an update made to the Cornellverse website?

 

I've only recently discovered it with its detailings of C-Verse history, written articles etc. and I've been utterly engrossed in it. It's truly helped me gain a deeper appreciation for the C-Verse and my saves within it.

 

Would there ever be a willingness to update it?

 

For those curious, the link is here;

[Derek B]

No, that's not what it does. There are two different popularity mechanics. The first is the natural gains workers get for being in segments, with the gains for being Not Rated being lower than any others. The second is the gains from being at low level popularity compared to company popularity, with bonuses given to popularity to help you up to a low level. This second mechanic has been altered, so that now if you are not-rated you don't get those gains, only the gains from natural growth.

[darth_cuscus]

Dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere. What does the promotion prestige and momentum stats mean and how do they affect the game?

[Herrbear]

<p>Another Dumb Question</p><p> </p><p>

I noticed that my worker expense went up about $1200 on my current event. I haven't changed anyone's pay and only have PPA contracts (small promotion). </p><p> </p><p>

Does a worker get paid for every match they are in and for every angle on a show?</p><p> </p><p>

I had thought that they would only be paid once if they were in an event no matter how many angles. Now not so sure.</p><p> </p><p>

Thank you.</p>

Depending on how many shows you have to go until they debut, they'll be starting with at least Minor Positive momentum, if not Positive. Gives them a nice boost to start from.</p>

You can get a worker's momentum to Major Positive (with or w/o storyline) just by running beatdown angles with Major Success every show without him ever wrestling a match.</p>

My child company is hiring female wrestlers even though it's Product is set to have no women's wrestling. I haven't seen them being used on the shows yet. What's up with that?

[Danny_H22]

What is the best way to develop my younger stars? Leave them in Development? Or mix the matches on the pre-show of my main roster?

 

How do I decide the match order? Obviously the most important match goes last, but what about the rest?

 

Is there a dummies guide to match aims and when to use them? I tend to stick to 'wild brawl' and 'tell a story' and I don't take advantage of the rest

[Terra Ryzin]

Little question I suppose, but can you get any relationship with someone from them having so many matches, or angles together or is it all just randomly selected besides the ones with the clique-builders? (be the relationship positive or negative.)

They usually develop fastest in developmental, but their overness/popularity doesn't move all that much (unless you have a broadcaster to show the child company shows). Having them on TV for can help boost their popularity, though less so if they are just in dark matches. I will often use the Borrow from Development to bring workers up to lose on the B show. They can gain quite a bit that way.
