<p>In a save of mine, Mikey Lau won the SWF World Heavyweight crown from Scythe. He won it the night before he left for USPW. Has anyone else had something like this happen? </p><p> </p><p>

Or, Eric Eisen is a bad booker who got "The Summer of Lau" all wrong.</p>

<p>Tapings and left off complaints</p><p> </p><p>

So, a question about tapings. If I tape, say 2 episodes in one go, and leave someone off of one episode but put them in the other, would they complain about being left off the show?</p>

<p>This game is so needlessly unfriendly to the user like the last games.</p><p> </p><p>

How do I release someone from their contract?</p><p> </p><p>

Seems like every time I try to do something now, I have to poke around for an hour to figure out how to do it.</p>

<p>....so...I'm in September now and I haven't seen any training centers graduate new workers....</p><p> </p><p>

is it my mod? Is this normal?</p><p> </p><p>

...should I give it another 3-4 months?</p>

[Everything Ken]

<p>When you check your roster and click on someone, you'll see arrows on the skills and popularity boxes. </p><p> </p><p>

Click the arrow on their popularity box and it will switch to contract view and it will give you an option to release them by clicking that arrow.</p>

<p>And now my week 3 game is dead in the water because of a run time error.</p><p> </p><p>

Guess I'll come back in a few months when the bugs are sorted out. Wasted all afternoon on this game and it's already unplayable.</p>

Comedy match aim. What should I be looking for?

[Bonafide_Bluffa]

anyone have a list of the max match time corresponding to the stamina values? remember seeing something like that for 2016

[DaneQuixote]

<p>I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm missing something.</p><p> </p><p>

I've been working on a custom RL mod and I've got Allie and Penelope Ford both at about 25 popularity to start.</p><p> </p><p>

I go a single month out in my watcher games and they've both jumped to 50-53 popularity... For no discernible reason. Anyone got any idea how or why this is happening? Seems insane that something like this should even be possible.</p>

....so...I'm in September now and I haven't seen any training centers graduate new workers....

 

is it my mod? Is this normal?

 

...should I give it another 3-4 months?

 

I'm guessing it's your mod. Playing the default, I've seen 9 workers in the first week (including 3 women!).

[Coop]

Comedy.

 

Best answer ever. Said nobody.

[Remianen]

Best answer ever. Said nobody.

 

If you're not familiar, do a search on your roster for these attributes:

 

-Comedy Match Worker

-Noted Comedy Match Performer

 

You can also find some of your most charismatic lower card (below Well Known, I'd say) and as long as they don't have the 'no comedy matches' or 'poor comedy match performer' attribute, they'd probably work. Make the match 10 mins or less. Make sure it has the COMEDY road agent note (which is what UEWpro was referring to).

Thank you. I ran my first show with these tips. Here's the result (Some mor text underneath the image)

 

 

This was actually a better result than the RAW I ran earlier but still upset my network. Howver, some concerning ratings. I had several segments with no penalties listed (and actually a lot of bonuses), but yet stilled get somewhat low ratings. Upon checking in the editor, the guys in question have at least decent popularity (>70 or >75) but this still happens.

It’s interesting that your main event is 73 and your best angle is 92, depending on your angle to match ratio I’d expect a total show rating of at least about 75 to 80 here, not sure why it’s so low.

 

Did you get pinged for anything else (lack of interesting storylines/worker overuse) by any chance?

[UEWpro]

Best answer ever.

 

 

Thank you.

Are subscription networks even good? The expected per month income when creating them is always lackluster when I think about how much a TV deal would get me with a potential for more popularity gain.

[MikeSc]

2 Questions.

 

1. Can workers gain the Tag Team Specialist trait?

 

2. How do you improve a worker's toughness?

[awesomenessofme1]

2. How do you improve a worker's toughness?

You don't, but Toughness does almost nothing.

 

Are subscription networks even good? The expected per month income when creating them is always lackluster when I think about how much a TV deal would get me with a potential for more popularity gain.

 

I think you also get a substantial amount of money per show, but I'm not sure of the exact details.

Hmm … good question as I like to use a subscription based model. 2016 loved it.

 

Besides its a matter of principle. You want my content you gots to pay me for it. Ain't no free rides here and no middle men. Show me the money!

 

This is where a highlight show would come in handy. A little extra dough and a way to sell subscriptions to my network. SWF This Week or something like this.
