If all details are set up correctly, begin a new game with your company. Enter you name, and put the setting on Easy.

Once your database is created, click on your company name, and check all of your stats to make sure they translated correctly from earlier. And then click on Sponsors. Sign the following sponsors: Playboy, Perfect 10, Penthouse, and Highspots.com

Sure, they suck, but our morality is in the tank thanks to our high risk. :)

Events may be set up at the discretion of the territory-owner, but I believe the original rules called for one "big show" per month. Not sure what a big show is. A "Large Event"? This needs to be discussed. Either way, it is up to the owner of the individual territory.

This should be everything we need to get an equal startup, although we do still need to discuss Committee meetings, Big Events, and proper posting details for shows.

These details start everyone off on a level playing field, and will add a nice level of competition for our individual shows and matches. All of the intangibles that go into match, tv, and nielson ratings are now equal. The only thing left is the roster you drafted, and the way you book them.

What about potential viewers ? 2.17 ? Come on now.

Shouldn't the size be "Regional", since you're only based on small territories? :D

I'd say potentinal viewers is fine. I mean, we're gonna have our ratings based against each others, so it really doesn't matter how small or big it is, except versus each other.

As for your question Scrooge....I agree, but someone explained it to me that we're National, and I bought it, so I dunno.

I added some staff, mostly off personal preference.

I added Super Dragon as my owner, since he's on my active roster, might as well.

Added:

AA
Danny Davis
Dr. Hae-Dong Jho
Earl Hebner
Ed Schmitt
Jim Andrews
Jim Ross
Johnny Ace
Lance Storm
Lloyd Youngblood

All staff I take it?

But I've already hired staff. :( Why do I need trainers anyhow? I don't plan on having a development, at least not right now.

No development for me either. If ya'll have staff, its cool. Go with it. I'm more concerned in my anal retentiveness with the Prod Values, and all that being equal.

What kind of staff do you have? People like AA, Jim Ross, wouldnt sign with me

What did everyone set their game difficulty to?

Game setting should be easy, as detailed above.

Here's my staff list:

Arn Anderson
Charles Robinson
David Sahadi
Dennis Brent
Dr. Hae-Dong Jho
Earl Hebner
Ed Schmitt
Gabe Sapolsky
Gerald Brisco
Jim Andrews
Jim Ross
John Finnegan
Johhny Ace
Kevin Dunn
Lloyd Youngblood
Mark Johnson
Michael Leisner
Pat Patterson

I like his better. Where were you on that one, Rowe.

I hired them before I started the game, so they wouldn't have a choice to say no. I tried starting a game, then hiring. Some of my talent wouldn't sign :( So, I had to cheat a little.

Where was I on that one? A lot of those staff members have over 90 in talent and won't agree to work for anything less than a global fed. That's where I was.

Ditto.

Damn, I was just kidding a bit Rowe.

They wouldn't sign with me either, so I have your staff as well. its all good though.
