Am I not understanding the "meddling feature"? Does it only produce negative relationships?

 

Not counting the times when the result was "no change in the relationship", I have got 37 straight negative results. This is not a feature, this is a hard coded waste of time.

Most of the time I get no change. Every now and then I will get a positive relationship, and rarely will I get a negative relationship, but it happens.

 

I try to put two people together who has simmering tension between them.

Whereas as I can fairly consistently form good relationships with my workers. Pretty sure it's keyed off of one of your stats, as well as the personalities of the parties involved. The one time my meddling backfired, it was when I tried to fix a simmering tension between a locker room cancer and another worker.

 

So, um, not exactly a "hard coded waste of time."

Over time I think I've generated nearly 20 friendships in my locker room in my current game. I seem to succeed about one time in four. Admittedly I have no negative influences in the locker room and I do try to make people who I believe have somewhat similar personalities into friends.

 

Of course, this can be frightening. I had one worker show up late and was afraid to come down on them because half of my main eventers liked them.

The results are based on the personalities involved. If you're meddling with a particularly bad bunch of people then you will get negative results; if you're meddling with mostly nice people then you will get mostly positive results.

 


There is nothing hard coded, and even a quick glance at other people's posts shows that there is a wide variety in results and will not always cause one result or another.

Does this also hold true for engineering negative relationships? We're more likely to succeed building Strong Dislikes and Hatreds when the workers involved have obnoxious personalities?

Streak is now at 42 straight shows of either a negative relationship change or no change. Hoping to make 50!!!

<p>I've definitely noticed that when it comes to personalities and meddling..</p><p> </p><p>

Positive + Positive = mostly positive changes, some neutral, never had a negative change</p><p> </p><p>

Positive+ Neutral = mostly no changes, occasionally positive</p><p> </p><p>

Neutral + Neutral = Generally have no changes</p><p> </p><p>

Anything + Negative = not sure i've ever had it work with a negative personality involved.</p><p> </p><p>

So it is definitely mostly linked to the workers personalities themselves. with a degree of luck. So you are either trying to meddle with the wrong people, or you just have very very bad luck</p>

<p>I've created so many strong friendships in one of my MAW saves that it feels like cheating. In reality, it can hurt you by creating friendships between the wrong people. With the new clique system and the way that workers can turn half the locker room against a particular worker, it can really damage the backstage morale. I can count the negative relationships I've created on one hand. Otherwise nothing happens. I use the 'meddle' feature before every single show I book. I can't believe you've had so many negatives come from it. That's insane! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Edit: For instance, if you have Jay Chord (Mario Da Silva) or a massive egotistical jerk on your roster, I wouldn't bother trying to meddle relationships for him or her. If s/he ever has an issue with a worker down the road, all of their buddies will too.</p>

From what I see here it's not as easy as most people to create positive relations for everyone, but even if it is at some game, it might turn to byte them. Would you say that currently the feature is not one sided?</p>
