Dr Strangelove Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I created a child company and sent about a dozen of my promising workers there. They had enough events to start but no booker/owner for about 3 weeks, so I took over an NPC, made him the booker and resigned. After two weeks they’re still not running any shows, why?

Jomosensual Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Do they have any non wrestlers like refs, commentators,etc? If not that might be the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutelyridiculous Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If you made them in the editor it's probably related to this somehow? http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=547440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only added a booker for it as it wouldn't hire one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I had the same issue last game with this when I didn't send any non wrestlers to my dev companies. Since it seems like the type of dev company was taken out I'm not sure how that would work now but I'd try sending some of them down to see if that will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomosensual Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 No, I created it using the 'investment' screen. I only added a booker for it as it wouldn't hire one. Wait, you didn't have a booker hired either? That's probably a big part of it since as far as I know they wont do anything until you hire them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a big part of it since as far as I know they wont do anything until you hire them So they don't do their own hiring/firing at all? I can only send them people I have on my roster, I don't have spare commentators or referees there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franticloser Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 You have to hire them yourself. In the office screen click on Child Companies. It will bring up a screen where you can hire an owner and booker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomosensual Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Wow. Just wow. Taken out might not be the correct word. The function of one of the types(I forget which) is now able to be done by offering other promotions to take your dev workers. There's some stuff missing from there such as the ability to control the product of those promotions, but a self reliant promotion to develop your workers is something you can still have in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0xl3y Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 so wait, you didn't give them an owner or booker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galacticgonzo Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yeah my understanding is that if your child company doesn't have an owner than there will be no one to hire anyone or do anything. Its on you to hire and assign someone in those positions because you are the owner. Which makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on you to hire and assign someone in those positions because you are the owner. Which makes sense. i think it was the same way in 2016. i'm pretty sure it even said on the screen where you assign/see the owner and booker of your child company that the company either can't run or won't run well if an owner/booker weren't assigned.

iruleall15 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Sounds like you didnt assign a booker and owner in the "Child companies" tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
