I follow smaller promotions in my area all the time. Some have gotten fancy screens and portray things on it. But the old school snatching the mic from the announcers to tell your side of it hasn't gone away. They'll make challenges, talk trash on their opponents, etc. Great stuff.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> To add to this, the method of distribution in game is by DVD (I guess tape in old mods)</p><p> </p><p> The ones not there live can still experience the shows that way.

[Jaysin]

NBTs need to be upper midcard or lower and 29 or younger. Did Spencer turn 30?

Is there any way to copy the default Cornellverse database to a new database? I want to tweak some things before starting a new save but don't want to mess around in my main database. Thanks in advance.

[Gungner]

<p>Quick question:</p><p>

When you are playing as a touring company, do you sometimes switch to a normal schedule? I'm asking because I'm playing as NJPW in Fleisch's April 2017 mod. NJPW in real life is basically touring all year round, but that's impossible in TEW. I'm just thinking that a normal schedule with 2 weekly events, one weekly TV-show and 2 monthly PPV's are too much for a normal schedule and would have some sort of consequence, since a normal schedule does run house shows...</p><p> </p><p>

I know you can tour year round with the little trick where you on the first day of the month, select the non-touring month and de-select a month before that. When the month is run, you just de-select the month that has just passed and select the month you de-selected before. That gives you 12 touring months a year. </p><p> </p><p>

Does anyone have any experience doing this?</p>

[James Casey]

No, they're still recognised by the game and by the crowd - the fans would be well aware that Kane was Fake Diesel was Isaac Yankem etc. But the game will keep track of their wins/losses under their alter ego and, of course, you may find yourself getting behind the Ultimate Warrior, rather than Dingo Warrior, Jim Justice or Rock...

Thank! </p><p> </p><p> Mostly I was just wondering in the case of shared workers.

The downside is that if you run regular events instead of TV shows, the game will have your regular events sell out as much as it would if it was your big PPV. IE: a national company's weekly event will sell out 50K which is kind of cheese, makes a ton of money, but is unrealistic. All the more reason why adjusting your event size or having the fans get fatigued of spending that much money on big events in such a short span would be great. </p><p> </p><p> Also there are no consequences to what you're thinking of doing aside from older wrestlers getting tired from overuse. But most wrestlers can do 3-4 events a week tbh, maybe just give them one day off in the week. </p><p> </p><p> I've never done the deselecting thing.</p>

[Gungner]

So running a Normal schedule, with 2 weekly events, 1 television show and 2/3 PPV's/Major Events a month on top of house shows (since it's a normal schedule), doesn't really have any negative consequenses (besides wrestlers getting fatigued quicker), only that you make much more money?

Weekly events will make WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more money than your TV show too. Honestly, you could have 7 weeklies a week and be good. The only thing is having too many PPVs close to each other will lower your buyrates. I run 2 a month but I'm not sure if I'm risking my buyrate or not. Doesn't really say how frequent is too frequent.</p>

[Gungner]

<p>Okay, cool. Thanks <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Another quick question:</p><p>

Does an alliance loan work the same way as a talent trade loan? Like one appearance for one show, or for 56 days? Or does the worker in an alliance loan have to be used in next show you have?</p>

So my second monthly event goes "out of town" to either Mexico or U.K. where I'm only a grade below my home region (Canada).

Will an active wrestler get angry if I put them in an out of ring role? RDJ started my TCW save 10 years in decline and is putting out 65-rated performances so I'd like to transition him into an authority role. What are the repercussions if I do that?

<p>Anybody know what my options are if Steve Austin is my figurehead and gets caught in a scandal with prostitutes?</p><p> </p><p>

I want him to fight the Rock in two months time at Wrestlemania and don’t want to sack him. What can I do?</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

You kind of have to fire him eventually unless you want to be hit with continuous penalties (who knows, maybe you can survive them). You could just run through WM so he can put over Rock (presumably) and then fire him until the heat dies down though that’s two months of penalties.

Will you get penalized for not having any announcers as a Local company, when your events is not on TV or anything?
