I FEEL ASLEEP!!

This is pretty much how I do ALL my games. Now, what I mean is, I set up my custom game world, and let the game simulate out a set number of seasons, usually enough to ensure that nobody that played in the league when the game started would still be active. Sometime I'll go as far as 50 seasons simulated before I start. Then I tend to take the historically worst team and build them into an ungodly dynasty.

Damn universal healthcare .

System of a Down is fucking awful, nobody should listen to them and you'll only change my opinion with a large sack with a giant dollar sign on it, stuffed with $20s, $50s and $100s. Come on guys, prove me wrong

Well, on the plus side, the Bears still have the records for biggest blowout and most points scored in a game, something Miami can't say .

Impressive. Most impressive.

Oh sure, NOW you trust the doctors .

His season lasted one minute of game time...

....Again?

It depends what you're looking for, but in general I'd fine newer scenarios in terms of when they were released to be the best option; There's an April 1997 scenario that's not too bad, nor is FatFrog's 1987 scenario.

Yeah, converting it back is going to be a bitch, but at least I can organize all the shit to make it easier rather than having to hop between EWR and the spreadsheet constantly. My ly real complaint towards Open Wrestling is I can't get the fucking thing to work at all, and that's frustrating on a deeply personal level since I'm basically EWB's un-official resident tech guy .

Well, now we have a problem because just what the hell do you do with a guy that's a good booker but also such a fucking asshole that someone pulls a gun on them and nobody says anything just to see what happens?

Christ, don't remind me. I have a special folder with my EWR mods specifically called "CRAP" because of horrible decisions made that people never bothered to correct or research. If there is a hate relationship, and I'm trying to adjust the mod to make it "Fixed" (which I very well might start doing and then uploading them for the fuck of it), I'll at least research it to see what happened. Like, Jim Cornette will obviously have a long list, but he's made that publicly known. But then you have dumber things and it just drives me nuts. Then there's issues with stats, issues with nationalities, and so on and so forth. And what I mean is that, they're either all American or the Americans are American and everyone else is non-defined (which is fine for the most part). There's workarounds, like Aresnicing or modding in the Unique gimmick. Really, the best scenario's I've found, at least in terms of Pre-RaveX have been the 1992 Scenario, the I think it was the Master's April 1997 Scenario, and the 1987 Scenario, along with iDom (where it seems ol' Idol used the 1992 data to make it ).

Yeah, you're absolutely right, and that's a major gripe that I have with EWR. Look at WrestleMania 25. Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker. A pure CLASSIC. And if we go by EWR, we'd be hearing about how they didn't really click because of their differences in style, and now Shawn Michaels wants to do a program with Funaki . So when I play for fun, it's just this annoying thing that keeps getting in the way. So there's that. Hopefully with mods and whatnot it will cut down on that arbitrary "John Cena blinked too much on Raw last week, lower his charisma by 2 points" bullshit.

So, I think there's a lot of potential with the game. I've liked what I've seen, it's like the perfect blend of EWR and TEW that suits my tastes. I think what we could do is probably use certain EWR scenarios as a baseline for promotions, and then go from there.

....So what I'm hearing is that I can actually run a Japanese style shoot promotion. I did buy this just now; maybe down the road, would anybody want to collaborate on doing Steam workshop scenarios, depending on how complicated this actually is?

No.

Oh I know they're sore losers. It's hillarious really. "YOU TUNNELED ME" Um, no Dwight, I did not. I hooked you, went around to the generator that Claudette and Meg were working on since I have Discordance, chased them while Jake rescued and healed you, hooked Meg, smacked Claudette, ran across Jake and downed him since I have Hubris and he stunned me, watched Meg die as she tried to escape, found Claudette, hooked her, Jake made it out and saved Claudette but didn't heal so now he's dead, chased Claudette, put her on a hook, and then chased you when you tried to rescue her, but she died, I lost you when I found the hatch and closed it, and managed to get a lucky shot on you when you decided to teabag at the exit gate. You were literally the first and last person on the hook. "TUNNLER. UNINSTALL AND UNALIVE" O-kay.

I find it incredible just how much people complain about Dead By Daylight. I thought I've seen plenty of whiny posts in my day, but those folks just tend to take the cake. "Nerf this, nerf that, here is my stupid ass opinion nobody asked for". Fucking Christ.

So, (and I don't mean to hijack this thread), I'm going to try an experiment to see if I can import a set of workers INTO a save file.

Got it open. As a person that likes to get into games and fuck around with them, and have for over 25 years, thank you. Where can I take you to dinner and book the hotel room? Jokes aside, that's how grateful I am for this, holy shit .

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Does it go both ways, meaning okay, I can take the .dat and convert it to SQL and then into a spreadsheet, but can I go spreadsheet-> SQL -> .dat ?

Well, overall between TEW and EWR, I do appreciate all the bells and whistles that TEW has over EWR; Arenas, regional popularity, agreements with other promotions, and so on, to make it really feel like it's potentially an actual wrestling promotion. Now, with EWR, you're limited to 11 segments at the most (Assuming you're not pulling some kind of thing like copying .dat files to rig it). And I really feel that the limitation is that, as I said in the Essa thread, you really cannot emulate a territory type promotion. At cult level, which I feel is as big as the promotions would get, you're not drawing anywhere, when back in the day they were all pretty much running major arenas and selling the more reasonably sized (10-20K) arenas out. But in EWR I'd get like 500 people to the show. If it's a PPV event -- well, that's not exactly encouraging for Harley Race and Flair in that steel cage match at Starrcade, is it? Or the WWF, under Vince Sr, regularly selling out Madison Square Garden. That just doesn't happen on EWR unless you're global. And that's fine, EWR is old enough to buy a drink if it wants and it's free, made by one guy. I can't complain or fault Ryland for this and developing a commercial version. But I do prefer how more straightforward EWR is with somethings. So, I guess it's pick and choose. I do hope this pans out, it doesn't look bad.
