June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675791 It's actually about neither Grand Wizard nor David Von Erich, it's just about the principle of knowing death dates set in stone when no promoter in July 1983 could have possibly known. It changes a lot of parameters if you know someone has only a few months to live. It's fine, I'll get over it. Will have to keep a blind eye / bite my lip to that aspect of this. Although since it has been established, a list of other upcoming deaths would be handy.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675792 I know it has random death, I remember Masked Superstar getting a javelin in Parv's game. Edit: Sorry, posted that before I saw your post Beast But I always hated that about my TEW games. I usually turned random deaths off and followed the actual time line as far as not hiring guys after they were dead IRL.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675796 Grand Wizard - OCT 12 1983 David Von Erich - FEB 10 1984 Rick McGraw - NOV 1 1985 Eddie Graham - JAN 21 1985 Gino Hernandez - FEB 1 1986 Mike Von Erich - APR 12 1987 Adrian Adonis - JULY 4 1988 Bruiser Brody - JULY 17 1988
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675797 I like, if you want to bring someone out of retirement then you have to roll something on a dice for it to happen? For injuries, I like every week or two, randomly selected someone (using random number generator) to be injured for a random number generated amount of time.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675798 Grand Wizard - OCT 12 1983 David Von Erich - FEB 10 1984 Rick McGraw - NOV 1 1985 Eddie Graham - JAN 21 1985 Gino Hernandez - FEB 1 1986 Mike Von Erich - APR 12 1987 Adrian Adonis - JULY 4 1988 Bruiser Brody - JULY 17 1988 I'd say that I'd take over the Florida territory after RocketCrypt dies in 1985 but I don't even want to pretend to be Mike Graham
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675800 Is that per promotion, or overall for injuries? Also, what if someone has a 'home' territory or has friends or relatives there, it should be easier for them to get that person to come out of retirement. Like Parv would have an easier time getting Bruno out of retirement than some random promotion, or Dory Funk could convince Terry to come out of retirement easier than someone else might

I don't know what is a good rate of injuries?
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675802 For injuries I'd say every months roll an actual die so we get something between 1-6. Whatever number it is, that's how many people suffer injuries in that month. And then use the random number generator for wrestler and seriousness of injury. Something like that.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675803 Do all retired players go into a pool or do we retain any rights to the people we drafted that retire?
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675832 Injuries I am fluid on, and I think some sort of random draw every few weeks is a decent enough to address an inevitable issue. Retirement being fixed I kind of hate because retirements in wrestling are NEVER fixed. It's one thing to say you can't draft someone who was retired at the moment of the draft. Quite another to say that you have to stick to someones retirement that they themselves likely didn't stick too.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675873 My take on injuries is I plan on doing my own to explain Japan tours and shit like that
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675903 Yeah, depending on how things flesh out I have ideas about using injuries to keep things fresh and cycle guys out from time to time.
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675937 Just so I don't have to dig through this whole thread. What is the final decision on: Deaths: Retirements: Injuries:
June 13, 201510 yr comment_5675939 Just so I don't have to dig through this whole thread. What is the final decision on: Deaths: Retirements: Injuries: Deaths: staying as is. Retirements: still not decided. Injuries: still not decided.
June 25, 201510 yr comment_5681182 Bumping this to address retirements and injuries.... since Funk appears in Japaan in December as a second. Also, I am planning his retirement tour as close to real life as possible. Not than any Terry Funk retirement has ever been realistic but this may be the closest to real life retirement he had. The problem with not honoring it is that every single person on the board would have drafted him 1st or 2nd even with Japan commitments so this issue should get resolved sooner rather than later.
June 25, 201510 yr comment_5681197 Injuries are random in real life so I support some type of randomized injury type/length system. However, I think we should determine how often said system is ran. I think the game is more challenging creatively if we don't use injuries to explain Japan tours. That's lazy booking. I agree with Dylan, that retirements are never permanent, unless career ending (Magnum). Maybe a maximum age limit? They could still be used seconds, referees, angles, but no matches.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681241 I think once Funk's vacation is over he should become a freelancer. Dory probably should have been a freelancer as well.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681242 I have a small question about the USA Network spot that Vince Jr got in September 83. What happens?
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681243 No matter what happens, we absolutely need to honor Terry's Hollywood commitments when they come up, too.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681263 I have a small question about the USA Network spot that Vince Jr got in September 83. What happens? He bought that spot from Joe Blanchard. In this timeline that spot has already been traded.
June 26, 201510 yr comment_5681265 Well as to that...you do already have The Brisco Brothers under your sway...
