There are a couple I'm familiar with in PA who draw 60 or less. They're the exact types that Cornette refers to as 'outlaw mudshow' in that they entertain via shock (light tubes, barbed wire, sick bumps all over the place). In TEW terms, it would be an insignificant sized promotion that runs 3 shows a year.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastshire Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 On Beta 5, I started a new Fed in Ontario with a 82 and rising industry and got a popularity increase on the first show. So it must just be that the US industry wasn't as good as I thought it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadeex Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 <p>It took me 5 shows to go from 10 to 11. I would bet the shows were gaining me .2% pop increase each.</p><p> </p><p> Rock Hard created fed in the Great Lakes.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-vic Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 <p>Seems like a more organic pop growth is at play which is brilliant imo. Just had a test game with CWW and their pop is twelve and I got 39 and 42 in my two shows with no pop gain. Looking at it realistically, how quickly is a fed that draws 60 people to Peter Kay's Working Men's Club going to grow? I think a better gauge at this level would be attendance increase or decrease as surely word of mouth is the primary means of exposure for such a small company, by 'eck.

Powerful_Fox Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just to echo what Blackman said, I have been playing as CWW and have done 5 shows ranging from 30-37 in rating. That's a performance of between 18-25 better than my popularity. I'm at 7% prestige and 15% momentum. The UK economy is at 41 and rising and the industry is at 24 and rising. At the moment I am blaming it on the Industry level (I thought it was the 41 and didn't look properly originally), but it is a bit off-putting having every single show so far tell me it's not increased my popularity. I'm wondering what the equation is for its calculation. I dont think it will be as cut and dry as Industry being a % of your show grade (e.g. 24 industry on a 37 rated card = 9.99), but it could be and would explain not getting any gain from a 12 pop company.

This is all fine and dandy but it seems given the myriad of people having this issue with this exact company it’s just bugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
