theoriginald Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 So everything was going well. ASCW started as one of the bottom companies in '92 and as we roll into '97 I have my own broadcaster, development company to train the rookies and I recruited the likes of Rocky Mavia, Austin and HBK. Then someone failed a drugs test, then another, and another so I decided to run a full medical check on the roster of 50-60 workers. And it all went terribly wrong. The backstage morale went from mid 90s to 0%. About third of the workers tested positive for hard drugs or steroids. Punishments were given out, fights broke out. HBK fired, a few suspended but the locker room morale is still at 0%. Is there anything I can do to raise the morale up again? It seems most of my main eventers are negative influences and cause incidents regularly now. I was thinking of waiting for the drug testing to be 'forgotten' about but not sure how long I would be waiting for and in the mean time the performances of my shows are taking a hit. Any ideas on what I can do? Needless to say I dropped the medical testing to a minimum afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginald Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 I should have mentioned that the backstage rules have all the perks selected and I have given around $1,000,000 in bonuses to little effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn michaels Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 <p>Your main problem was drug testing the entire company in one go, especially with drug users and bad influences like Shawn there. Now you might have to get rid of the bad influences or at least (and this is a must) hire a bunch of positive influences. Mass drug testing is a bad idea, even when we know the guys are on drugs, steroids, etc. The number of incidents it will cause will lead to the situation you're in.</p><p> </p><p> Guys like Shawn, and others you may have added, are worth having, even for the problems they cause, when one has enough positive influences to counter them, as they do great in ring work, great promos and contribute to good grades.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Nection Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 <p>If you can I would use the game recovery feature and go back to the previous Sunday. If you are past that point then it will be a really slow grind back to normalcy. </p><p> </p><p> One thing you could do is send some of your negative influences to development "to work there" so you are not attempting to tackle the whole bear at once.</p><p> </p><p> Also you need to use the meddle feature with any and all positive influence members of your roster. Another way you can speed this up is create a brand of just the positive influences and neutral influence members in your roster and run events that you don't broadcast with just that brand in regions you are unknown in for the sole purpose of establishing relationships.</p><p> </p><p> Another thing I would do is cease all drug testing until you are back to at least an 80%. It will be a bigger headache than ever to keep that going while you are trying to pull the locker room back to the good.</p><p> </p><p> If you want to drug test all new people before you hire them than that would be a good practice to do but I would leave your current roster alone until you fix the morale problem.</p><p> </p><p> I'm pretty sure the drug testing penalties will drop off after 2 months. So you should see a rise at that point if you have not had too many fights afterwards.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yeah, drug testing the whole locker room in an 80's or 90's mod is a sure way to get to 0%. And hiring 90's Shawn Michaels is another way to get to 0% so you probably just got there quicker than you would have and avoided him turning half the locker room against 5 of your best wrestlers. So, that's a positive. It does take a long time for steroid tests to go away (I think it is 6 months) so as others said, it is going to be a long slog. Find a lot of extremely positive influences (the higher up the card they are the much more effective they are) and locker room leaders and maybe do a few vacations for the most troublesome people if they're on written contracts.

theoriginald Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 <p>A month later the morale was restored to 100%. Released one other negative worker, sent a few on leave, some to the development territory but I think the big initial difference was being restored to national level. The extra perks worked a treat.</p><p> </p><p> Many thanks guys. Lesson learnt. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nection Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wow congrats! I was expecting a longer grind than a month but personally I never dropped a locker room that low lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginald Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well it was prob just over two months. I was losing hope after a month so posted this. Back to 100% <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
