So the schedule framework has been completed. I'm still getting the regions decided (read as: no time at work to get that done today), so I'm still aiming for a Tuesday evening release of the schedule and such. I will confirm right off the bat that "rivalry" weeks (matches against one's paired opponent) will occur at weeks 1, 9, and 17 of the season--the first and last weeks, naturally, as well as the week before Tag Team Turmoil.
Once I get Bao's stats up to date, his profile will also be made public like Phoenix's, in order to maintain fairness. Hoping to spend the majority of tonight getting things put together for this season, fleshing out changes to movesets, getting teh regions sorted out, and the last bit of maintenance I have to do before we start Season Six. Again, expect the new season thread to open tomorrow night, folks. |

So, a heads-up about how the regions were picked this season.
Normally, I just do a straight random pick, and damn the consequences. With this being the final season, as well as the pair dynamic, I wanted to do something different. The first thing I did was take the three areas that had the least difference in popularities, and designate them as the three regions for the "rivalry" weeks (1, 9, and 17). The most difference between two wrestlers out of these three areas is 5 to 6 percentage points, compared to 15+ in some areas between the pairings. Since each pair faces each other three times this season, I thought that would be the most fair way to even out the pairings for those three matches. That leaves 14 weeks remaining. From here, the plan was to use a weighted randomization system, one wrestler per week, in an effort to give each wrestler a week at a locale that favored them popularity wise. The higher the popularity, the more likely it was that a wrestler would have that selected for him/her during the draw. Excluded from this were the reigning champions (Phoenix and Nuclear for TTT, and Phoenix doubly so for the League Championship), as they are champions and should be prepared for anything. I also excluded Ly Quang Bao to eliminate any semblance of foul play on my end. The remaining 13 wrestlers were then put through this process. Most of the ranges were in the middle teens (13-16), with three wrestlers drawing a top-5 popularity on their turn. The one remaining week was done on a pure random basis. The order was then set by typical travel routes, as has been custom in The League. For the TL;DR version: I made things a lot more complicated for myself this season, just because. ![]() That's the last you'll hear from me until tomorrow night. Just thought I'd give you a bit of a behind-the-curtain look into the method of my madness. |

Would it be possible to sell/exchange stats/finishers/signatures for money? No, I don't plan on reducing stats yet.

Signatures and finishers will be ruled on a case by case basis, depending on what will be done with the old move (relegate it, improve to a finisher, eliminate it altogether). Basically, PM me details and I'll rule from there.
Stats, however, I'm not so willing to be lenient on. Basically, I see it as "your body can't unlearn what you have put it through." So stats I'm basically not yielding on unless there is a damn good reason for it...and no, "I have a career losing record" is not a valid excuse, before anyone asks. ![]() |

Good Idea
. Mainly, I love the idea of NOT selling stats so that SF doesn't receive PM's from the same person 7 times a day to counter his opponent's style.![]() |

Apologies for double posting, but suggestion.
You know how, for example, Nuclear's first finisher is a lariat? Well, for moves that allow it, you could do a finisher/signature move in different positions (like, a diving Armageddon Lariat, Lariat while the opponent is on the turnbuckle, etc.) Another example would be Nolan's Regulator (Regal-plex without pin). Once again, you could do this with you and the opponent up the turnbuckle, for example. |

SF is going to finish this season and take a break. I think he's looking to reopen the league around the end of this year/beginning of next?

So, here's the situation, folks.
Still planning on shutting things down after this season (at least for a couple of months). Last week of the season is still on/around September 19 (Tournaments of Champions). Thing is, my hosting/domain name services expire on Sept. 26, and I'm not sure yet whether I plan to renew them for another year immediately (granted, it's only $20, but still) or just wait a while and re-open things then, when I'm not trying to scrimp and save for a weekend vacation in October and stuff. So any information you want from your character sheets or posted schedules, you might want to start copying now in case I do decide to let the domain expire. I'll have copies of character pages and schedules saved on my end, but consider this a friendly notice of things to come. I will also be posting this in the current season thread, in case someone doesn't think to check here. |

Yeah. When I get home tonight and update pages I'll make sure it's still in the same place so you can load it up.
