As this universe has barely started this guide is subject to change and the word serves its purpose. It has several information about how things happen within the game but you can also get the hang of it without even reading this stuff. But I think this eliminates most of the FAQ.

ATTRIBUTES

Attributes are not to be confused with wrestler skills. Wrestler skills are the ones you set once you create your wrestler and organically increase.

Each attribute works differently in conjunction with your personality. Some attributes clash with each other and you and I are blocked from using them at the same time. If there ever is a situation where two attributes have competing effects during gameplay, the game will decide which attributes to use depending on context. AI Will use attributes accordingly as well.

All Attributes can be hidden such as drugs usage. But they will eventually become known if it's a drugs case, you know you can't hide it forever.

As you know when you first start you have no attributes. But you can buy them or be awarded of them by a mystery box or gain them organically during gameplay.

ACHIEVEMENTS & MYSTERY BOXES

As you might notice I talk a lot about this mystery boxes and achievements. Here is a brief explanation about them:

There are certain hidden achievements within the Universe related to match ratings, championship belts, angles, storylines, pretty much anything, some are unique some aren't. When your worker hits them you will be notified somehow through your wrestler profile or through PM and you will be awarded a mystery box.

Inside this mystery box there are several career boosts, relationships, skill gains, etc, etc... I have a massive list of those prepared.

Example: (Using Road to Glory example)
I will roll your mystery box and you will be presented with 3 options.

1. "Friends with Benefits" You gain one Working Agreement (you may try a different company if you are rejected) OR you can join an existing Alliance (assuming they let you in) OR you may invite another company to join your alliance (you may try a different company if you are rejected).
2. "War is Good for Business" Your owner demands you declare war on another promotion in the same area. (do nothing if your owner blocks you)
3. "Trusted Companion" You gain the Loyalty of one of your roster (random roll from the list of your current roster).

You choose one and it will be applied within the universe.

INCIDENTS & PERSONALITIES



There are several personality types and personality traits. Those can be bought or acquired by a mystery box or like it suggests above they can develop organically.

As you may know you start with a Neutral personality but most likely won't stay that way for long.

Regarding Incidents. There won't be only the incidents within the game. I will apply some random incidents every now and then with different consequences and the workers involved will be completely randomized. If you have any suggestions for those random incidents you can suggest in the OOC forum.

NOTE: If you are working for certain user-controlled companies your will be given a personality somewhere down the line depending on your participation. Owners will always advice you about it. If you want to know more about that you can find the Woking for an User-Company Guide.

LEGACIES

As you start the game you are an unknown wrestler but you will develop and become a star eventually (or not). Either way you can leave your own legacy within the game. You need to buy it though, nothing in life comes for free.

How do this work?



If you eventually buy a Legacy I will ask you for the information required to create one. The worker generated as a Legacy will have the Prodigy attribute to start with if his ancestor was a successful wrestler, also starts with a big sum of the ancestor money - although this is subject to change in order to keep balance.

[ViciousLothario]

CONTRACTS & TRAVEL COSTS

This part is very important as you will deal a lot with it. Specially if you are wondering what are your options. This is how you make money. At the bottom you can also find your travel costs so make sure to demand a travel clause if you're not located in the same area as the federation or where usually the federation helds their shows. You can cancel a contract with any company if you so choose, specially if it isn't worthy. If you want to cancel your contract just pm me or write it on your wrestler/worker topic.

This are the roles this are mostly for user companies rather than AI. It can be extremely useful to negotiate with those.

[ViciousLothario]

RELATIONSHIPS

There are several relationship types in the game and this can affect with the most varied ways the universe.

Relationship Types include:
- Blood Relative
- Married
- Engaged
- Dating
- Divorced
- Split Up
- Loyalty
- Protege
- Strong Friendship
- Best Friend
- Strong Dislike
- Hatred
- Family Feud
- Simmering Tension

Within this types there are different types of outcomes. You obtain this relationships organically or by buying them. Relationships are extremely useful in the wrestling business like any other business. Just take HHH for an example.

Also when Married or Dating someone if that someone becomes pregnant it means you will have a son/daughter. You can create the following within the database and it will debut as soon they're 18 years old. However if you bought no legacy you can't simply control them, more on that as we go along. And they will have an organic progression although they're created having traits from both their father and mother.

[ViciousLothario]

GIMMICKS

This part is extremely useful to understand the gimmick mechanics we will be using. Specially for user-controlled companies and workers of them.






Although you don't have access to the gimmick matrix you can work in conjunction with the company owner\booker in order to choose your gimmick accordingly.




Let's say you're not happy with your gimmick or is not getting the intended rating. You can speak to the booker of your company to tweak it or completely change it.

NOTE: When working for an AI company I think we can also change something or tweak the gimmick to get better ratings. This is something that needs to be tested so therefore I can't assure you of that.

[ViciousLothario]

WRESTLER TRAINING

As you might know training happens in wrestling and during your wrestler career. And usually you have to pay to be trained in wrestling. So for this version of the Universe I designed a training scheme to add more flavor to our universe and since user potentials are random this can become extremely useful. Although if you have an High-Flyer wrestler who is Small you can train a lot in power but that value might drop over time. I say might because this needs to be tested.

NOTE: You can also obtain training organically within TEW like being signed to work in a performance center or developmental fed. And your skills develop over time as you wrestle and there are the mystery boxes.

Anyway about the Training system:

There will be several options to train your wrestler in a specific skill or general training, you can use the money that you earn in order to do it by pm'ing me or using your wrestler profile.

But this guide will help you figure out some costs.

Let's say you have 40 points in Brawling but you want to improve it. I will look for wrestlers with 45-50 brawling skill within the database. I provide you this list and you can choose one of the following to train you. You have to pay 2 months of his salary and the skill takes 1 month to increase by 5 points. You can only practice 1 skill at a time - If the provided list has a User-Created wrestler in it or several you can only choose from User-Created wrestlers to create a sort of an economy - Also if the skill you want to improve is 75+ you will only gain 1 point of the training, 60+ you will gain 2 points of training.

Beware that you can inherit a random attribute\personality\personality trait from the wrestler you practice with so be careful when choosing. This can be useful in some cases while it can also be punishing.

[ViciousLothario]

JOBS & ECONOMY & MONEY MONEY $$$

There is a money system in place. You get the money that your wrestler would get based on your contract, it can be pay per show or pay per month. But when you first start you have 0$$ in your wrestler account. And don't expect to be making much money either.

With money you can buy Wrestler Training, Business Courses, Booking Courses, attributes, popularity, relationships, contracts with companies, etc, etc.

So that's why I've implemented a system to work with money so you're allowed to earn money outside of wrestling.

This are purely creative. But here are some examples:

Imagine a user who wants to create his own promotion. But needs some graphics for it... You happen to know how to use photoshop. Pm him. And say. I will do some graphics for you. But you need to pay me 200$. Ok. Once everything is agreed the user that is paying goes into your topic and posts "I transfer 200$ to this guy cause he made me some graphics." Bam.

Take a guy who is already a big star and has loads of money for an example he is extremely lazy. He can throw money into rookies who are eager to develop in return of some favors. Even if in kayfabe.

I'm lazy to write a show for my user created fed, even if the show is very small which most likely will given the tight schedule it will have. (Infos about schedule and that stuff are on a hidden forum that is intended only for bookers\owners) I can pay to someone to do it.

Users can create topics to advertise jobs in the OOC Discussion Board.

Creativity is the limit here. And you can only send money to another handler. So if you have 2 active workers within the Universe you can't send money between them. And if there isn't any reasoning or any topic within the OOC board to justify the transfers they will also be cancelled. This is to prevent any power farming or trading power farming. I know it should be common sense but I think is better to mention it as a rule.

DON'T TRY TO BREAK THE SYSTEM! THERE SHALL BE PUNISHMENT! THIS IS A BELOVED PROJECT OF MINE! DON'T TRY TO CORRUPT IT!!!! THERE ARE GOING TO BE CONSEQUENCES...

[ViciousLothario]

BECOMING AN OWNER\BOOKER

So I see you want to create your own company or even become owner or booker of one within the Universe. As you start you have 0 Business Reputation and 0 skill same with booking. So chances of that happening organically are very slim.

There are some ways to improve this skills and reputation. You can buy business courses. Learn booking from other bookers. Or having it in a mystery box.

This courses are designed to be quite expensive as they are in real-life. Plus a owner of a company can make some decent sums of money. Which reflects on his worker account.

The downside of it is that you have to manage your business successfully and you can end up being in debt and losses can be very unforgiving as well.

If you have an active user controlled company it can be easier. But you can also lose that slot and your company becomes AI controlled and this skills become very important. You can learn more about active user controlled companies or AI in this thread as well.

STARTING YOUR OWN COMPANY

At the moment we only have 1 active user-controlled company within the world. If you wish to become owner\booker please contact me via pm. As more people are within the universe more slots will open up to the total of 7. At this time is first come, first serve.

[ViciousLothario]

USER CONTROLLED COMPANIES & OR AI

There are a total of 7 slots to have an user controlled company within the Universe so it's really a battle of ratings here but that doesn't mean you can't have your company. Follow me.

The 7 active slots within the Universe are constantly rotating. When we have, if we have, 7 active user promotions, this companies engage on a monthly battle of ratings/viewers. The company that is less rated within a month will be dropped and will be AI controlled giving space to another user. The user that occupies this slot enters a 1-month grace period meaning that will not engage on the monthly battle during the first month. And so on. This adds a lot of competition.

But what if my company becomes AI controlled?! I'M DOOMED!
If your company becomes AI controlled you can always manage hirings, firings, booker assignment, broadcaster management, schedule, titles, etc, etc. You can do this once per month.

You also enter in the active slot rotation so your opportunity to control your company will come. And you will have 2 months in control!(1-month grace period) A lot can change in this 2 months of control. But if you lose your slot, fear not, cause you are rotating again.

How do I know which wrestlers are available or not?
Is sort of a requirement to have at least TEW2020 Trial to do this. I will release the monthly database for public usage. And you can play the TEW 2020 trial with this database. More on that will be on the respective database release topic.

RANDOM ROLLS & INCIDENTS

There won't be only the incidents within the game. I will apply some random incidents every now and then with different consequences and the workers involved will be completely randomized. If you have any suggestions for those random incidents you can suggest in the OOC forum.

This Incidents and random rolls will give you certain rewards(attributes, skills, personality change/traits, etc, etc) or options like mystery boxes but incident specific. I have several already planned.

Example:
I think of a random incident.
I roll to check which wrestler it will affect. The list of wrestlers that is available for a certain incident has several hidden nuances but it works mostly like lottery.
I post in the Universe news a random incident...
Then depending on the incident the wrestler who was affected can choose from some options or has just one option and can't reject it.

[ViciousLothario]

WORKING FOR AN USER-COMPANY

There are going to be several user-companies within the universe, pretty much like XHF. Some of them are linked to the XHF Alliance others aren't. But this companies can offer you contracts.

Every company has it's own style not only in-product but how they work with their workers. It is extremely advised that you read each company guide and how to participate.

The way you participate by commenting or by messages can affect your wrestler personality over time, attributes, etc, etc. You're always in-character. For OOC stuff you have the OOC forums. This is meant to be a "roleplay universe". Although you don't have to write actual rps or segments or whatever, for that you have the real "XHF" and if you're part of it. I strongly recommend you to take a look.

Being part of a user-controlled company is a great and faster way to develop your wrestler/wrestlers. Although you might need to have some more availability. By that I mean, making certain choices during your carrer, regarding matches, angles, story lines. This mostly happens with private messages. And it's a great way to simulate the business. This choices won't take much of your time since they're very straight forward. We're speaking of once per week, 2\3 days, depending on the company and the universe timeline. This can also be once in a month or almost never depending on the company and owner. It is expected that you also comment shows.

There are several pros about this. Because you always contact the owner with story-line ideas, changing your gimmick, your booking. This things are stored and discussed between owners.
