Lurker > Tom Bombadil

BONUS DAY: +Dusty Rhodes and that's it leave me alone :\

also .9/5 so far on the day

also I'm really not sold on this weight system the farther I get in this mod. Dusty Rhodes as a Light Heavyweight is, uh.

Would appreciate a statjob on Abdullah the Butcher (under WCW on Sheet1) if somebody has a chance at some point- no rush at all on this one.

Currently at 1.9/5 for today.

5 felt more dynamic in that sense! I do appreciate the missions and stuff in 6, but you have to be an Officer and that really slows the game down, so that's kinda a wash and I think I ultimately prefer 5.

Persona: Ohya gave me a target, and that makes two, so sure let's hit up Mementos. I have a sense I want to keep my approval up, and this is the only thing I'm aware of to help. Gotta figure out what Ohya does. >_> Anyway, the targets went just fine, and hey there's a new area now. Remembered that Advanced Fusion was a thing, and picked up Seth and Bugs.

Dune: get up on the maker's baaaack. The timeskips and prescience and stuff are kinda turning me off I think. Feels like I'm missing out on big stuff.

Thursday Night Raw
Wk. 2, 6/85

Pre-show: Rheingans/Blackwell d. Baba/Tsuruta (70)

We open with the gauntlet for #1 Contendership! Jones' first defense will be against La Parka, who makes a good account of himself. Jones gets the win, but he has to use a chair to do it! (59) Hogan runs out to object to this skullduggery, and gets in the face of Jones. (and Snuka, once he comes out for backup) Flair comes out and says that he doesn't much like it, but the ref's decision is final! (81)

Velvet MacIntyre is still happy to be the inaugural women's champ, and looking forward to defending it! (38) Three way tag match! The Glamour Girls, the rather dysfunctional Vachons, and the team of Debbie Combs and Madusa Micelli square off to try to settle some scores and get momentum towards a shot at the belt. Debbie Combs gets the big win after Luna Vachon lays out her own partner. (42)

Cap'n Lou introduces Sika and Leon White as...The Super Albano Bros! (49) Sheik and Koloff bully the Harts a bit. (56) Michaels and Snuka square off next. Snuka is able to replicate his partner's win, and doesn't need the chair to do it, although it takes some work to keep the rookie down. (71) Future Perfect regale us with some trivia about different metals. Osmium is the heaviest metal, which may or may not be something we knew in 1985 but Future Perfect are THAT FUTURE-Y AND PERFECT. (51)

Mr. Fuji wants to manage Tully Blanchard. Tully Blanchard does not want a manager. (74) Still wandering out dressed like a rapper, Atlas defeats Luis Edwards while the latter complains that he's a few years ahead of the trend. (55) It's Style and Substance's turn to interrupt Atlas instead of the other way around! Heenan challenges Atlas to a RAP BATTLE tomorrow night! (68)

Butch Reed makes a deragatory comment about Stan Hansen's weight. This does not end well for Butch Reed. (60) Funk takes on Tenryu in a strap match, mirroring Ventura/Meng from last week. Much as with that match, Tenryu puts up a heckuva fight but isn't a main eventer yet. (76) Ventura and Lawler come out to yak with Terry and Dory about the NWA Title Chain match, but no real plot happens. (79) In the main event, Death and Taxes keep their momentum going with a win over Muraco and Steamboat. Can anybody stop them? (80)

Overall: 78 MIXED

-WCCW gets 83 (ME: Mulligan d. Valentine)

Stardom 16.2.28:
Gauntlet- Diemond v. Watanabe: **1/2
Gauntlet- Diemond v. Yoneyama: **1/2

Trails: We're finally getting to the root of things, which is great! I'm also kinda hoping that this backstory is a game I get to play at some point. More importantly, MAID OUTFITS. Kinda bummed more NPCs didn't have commentary on that!

Pokemon: Looks like we will in fact have to backtrack to deliver this Spearow, ah well. On the plus side, I evolved my Mareep, and caught Exeggcute (man that palette is ugly) and Ditto (!!!)

LP DDLC 5: Man the player is kinda a jerk :\ But hey, new CG with buttoning Sayori's shirt, which....seems odd. This would be a good ship if I liked the MC better! I feel like most of the girls fall in that category I guess. Either Monika's second poem is different or I didn't notice/forgot about the "load me" at the end. Also geeze I'm gonna get diabetes from Sayori liking our poem. Her second poem really grew on me, too! She's gonna keep writing until she dies!! "Amy Likes Spiders" is greatly enhanced by one of the LPers being named Amy.

Sanctuary: Some quite close shaves with C.Y.N. and some colosseum stuff, but we survived and are progressing nicely.

man the more I research WWE the more I remember stuff that makes me not that sad to not really be following it these days. Hornswoggle is kinda yikes in retrospect, and I never liked the weird Tim White suicide thing to start with. Anyway, 5/10 so far. I switched Hornswoggle and Vickie to be mostly managers, and went with Laurinaitis and Shane as RAs.

Also I had the wrong Armstrong down as ref, so fixing that.
Also Corey Graves is now Color, not PBP.

Persona: Route secured! Second half seemed a lot easier than the first- no complaints there. It feels weird waiting to send the calling card, but I don't seem to have a choice, so it's time for SOCIAL LINKS GO. Hermit 4 made me kinda sad. Star 7 wasn't much of anything. Hermit 5 (with special guest NPC Nishima) was great. I still can't pick between Futaba and Makoto, geeze. At this point it might come down to what comes first: passing Makoto's Knowledge gate, powering Futaba to 10, or endgame >_> Sojiro is gated now too, lame. Fortune 4 was a good teaser. Tower 5 was just setup, but gave me a nice skill.

DW6E: Sun Shang Xiang has unified Chaotic China! Was a good run once it got going. I was originally thinking I'd take Meng Huo and each of the Three Kingdoms for a spin, but...I think I'm good, fam- it ain't gonna get LESS repetitive from here, y'know? Plus I may very well be booting up Ro3K once I finish Persona, to truly scratch the grand strategy itch. Nothing replaces this one since it was never actually officially in the rotation!

well those folks should probably all be put in anyway, it's just whether they'll be FA or WWE in most cases. Most of the unstatted people I feel okay about improvising stats when I put them in, so shrug.

Women's division is actually kinda where I want it in numbers, although I'm up for arguments to rotate some people in or out.

16: Redetail
17-20: Avatar
21: Off day

ALSO we are probably gonna need to pad this roster a bit as well. Currently WWE is:
Cena
Batista
Orton
HHH
Edge
Punk
Bryan
Sami Zayn
Umaga
Kofi
Ziggler
Swagger
Rusev
Barrett
Show
Cody
Sheamus
Miz
Ryder

Khali
Henry
Hassan
Sandow
Jey Uso
Jimmy Uso
Lesnar
Carlito
Finn Balor
Shinsuke Nakamura
Big E
Xavier Woods
Sin Cara
Primo
Epico
Kevin Owens
Cesaro
Ryback
Braun Strowman
Dean Ambrose
Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns

Ronda Rousey
Paige
Brie
Nikki
AJ
Natalya
Charlotte Flair

Hornswoggle (Prs/Wrs/Mng)
Vickie (Prs)
Stephanie (Prs/Book/Occ)
Michael Cole (Annc)
Tim White (Ref)
Bob Armstrong (Ref)
Corey Graves (Annc)
JBL (CC/Occ)

Going off the Estimated Roster, we need....16 more wrestlers, 3 more managers, and 2 more road agents. @_@ We can probably get by with less than that, but let's see what we can think of.

Harper
Rowan
Balor
Hunico
Sin Cara
Kidd
Smith
Hornswoggle (switch from personality)
R-Truth
Dibiase Jr
MVP
London
Kendrick
Enzo
Cass
Chris Masters

is my kneejerk off like two minutes of thought and scanning my FA page. Bray Wyatt is in Umineko and 3MB is in KoF. For RA...Laurinaitis and...uh....DeMott? I dunno.

y'know maybe we should stretch out the schedule a bit whatchy'all think? I've got three days of nothing but recovery and TEW lined up but IDK I'm kinda far in the hole and the schedule is kinda intense from now to the end. Plus one month (that month being December) is probably super optimistic for ALL of you to detail ALL your outstanding characters.

I thiiiiink I can catch up and if you all hit it super hard in Dec we can stay on track but....I dunno what do y'all think? Kinda a bummer to stay on pace for nine months and trip up a bit at the end, and fall/winter would be an awkward time to draft stuff but.....

CURRENT PLAN:
1-10 WWE
11-20: FA
21-22: Slammed
23-25: Avatar
26-28: MLP
29-30: Stardom
Nov: Disney, TNA, Puro, TMNT, Cartoons, Lucha, CHIKARA, Muppets, FA
Dec: Helper Turns (Tom's a musician in December!)
2019 Q1: Cosmetics/Playtesting
Q2: Finetuning
Q3: FWA DRAFT?!?!?!?!

SLOWER PLAN:
Oct/Nov: Same thing but no FA
Dec: FA
2019 Q1: Helper Turns/Playtesting
Q2: Cosmetics (hi lopen)/Playtesting
Q3: Finetuning
Q4: FWA DRAFT???

It's finally starting to get my attention going again, which hasn't really been happening since Jessica and Paul escaped for some reason. Also, did you know that Elfin-faced Cheney has an elfin face? I don't know what exactly an elfin face looks like, but we have successfully established that it applies to the elfin face of Elfin-Faced Cheney, whose face is elfin. Also hey I can get more and more of the pumpkin Spice jokes I see on facebook now!

MLP 8-21- Rockhoof and a Hard Place: Man I am sad for this guy he's just tryin' to do his thing :\ Send him to the Pies imo! I do appreciate that the question was raised of why hippogriffs need boats. I just noticed that cutie marks stretch around appropriately when ponies walk. Not sure if they just started doing that or I just took eight seasons to notice, but it's kinda messing with my head. Yona and Rockhoof bonding is The Best. I also appreciate Twilight's little shrug when Spike questioned her authority to appoint him. Kinda dark undertones here, but a solid episode!

Finished up The Human Story by James C. Davis. History is not my thing (which surprises me actually because I love it in fiction) but this made it palatable! Trying to stretch my horizons and all that.

Dune: Man I figured Kines was gonna make it somehow, but at least we got some hints on his way out! Jessica continues staying relevant, which is a plus.

And Then There Were None: Man, I can already see the Umineko influence, especially with the ominous poem. The previous owner of this book wrote in the victim (I assume) under each stanza, but probably everybody's dying anyway so I erased them while paying as little attention as I could.

Lucha 1-24a: Training montage with the mystery girl and the mystery dude. Melissa Santos and the other mystery dude watch on as Sexy Cenas her way through Pentagon. (**1/2) Mundo looks like a chump in a skit with Patron and a camera that makes me dizzy.

All-Star Wrestling
Wk. 1, 6/85

Pre-show: Dory d. Razor (64)

Flair is here to kick off the GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD between Steamboat and Jones! They're both raring to go despite their disadvantageous placement. (86) The resultant match is...surprisingly lackluster, with Jones getting the big win. (64)

Time for the women's corner. The Glamour Girls are putting themselves over when Vivian Vachon notes that there's no gold around either of their waists. Debbie Combs also comes out to point out that Vivian doesn't have any either, and maybe it's time to give somebody a shot who didn't lose in the finals! (33) Meanwhile, Madusa d. Jackie Sato. (43)

Sheik, Koloff, and Humperdink question why we have a "metal" PPV when it could be about OIL! Sheik has plenty to spare, it just costs extra for American pigdogs. (77) Tenryu finds Snuka and tells him to warn Jones, because Tenryu's in the Gauntlet too and Jones isn't gonna make it. (57)

Ventura wants to preview the chain match, but that is TOO INTENSE FOR TV so we get a regular ol' strap match instead. The good news is Meng is the opponent and the NWA Title is on the line! Meng is tough as nails, but Ventura is a little craftier with use of the strap, and that ultimately enables a win. (71) Lawler taunts Terry Funk about the chain match, but Funk isn't worried. Funk knows how to hogtie a bull with a rope, so the only difference is that hogtieing Ventura with a chain is gonna be that much more satisfyingly painful. (77) Michaels meets Hansen in a match. As has become the norm, the kid gets to display some heart and some athleticism before jobbing to the big mean heel. (77)

Bruno is incredibly frustrated with his time in WWF. He's lost to Ventura, he's even lost to Tenryu....he's gotta shake himself up. He calls out Rick Martel and challenges him! The whole Style and Substance family appears, and Martel questions what Bruno is gonna stake, because he certainly hasn't earned a shot at the IC Title! Bruno thinks a sec...and risks his CAREER! Martel will take that wager. (61) Bruno's career ends (again) with a whimper, as Martel manages a clean win, and not even a particularly thrilling one at that. (69) Style and Substance gloat, and mock Bruno as he quietly takes his ball and goes home. But here comes Tony Atlas! Bruno was a legend and deserves RESPECT! S&S, watch your mouths, or you're gonna get WRECKED! They should give somebody their own age a TRY, but if they step to Atlas, he'll just make 'em CRY! Martel is getting annoyed at these. (56)

Tully Blanchard talks about metal. Iron sharpens iron, and he's continued to sharpen himself in WWF. Now he's a lethal weapon, and the only question is who's gonna get cut. (92) Parkamania go 2 on 2 with Death and Taxes in the main. DiBiase gets another big win! Too bad, kids, this is All-Heel Wrestling tonight. (74) Muraco comes out to declare that DnT should know their roles in the WWF, because their skills don't match their confidence to be putting up a suitcase of gold. Jake agrees that pride cometh before a fall....trust him. (62)

Overall: 72 FAILURE stupid hawaii

Dune: This wandering in the desert bit is losing me a lil

City of Dark Magic: BEATED. All in all, pretty good, although I kinda liked the front half more than the back. Not, like, life changing, but a fun quickish read.

Which raises the question of what to read next! I'm not sure myself, actually. I just got copies of Les Miserables and And Then There Were None, which join A New Spring and Romance of Three Kingdoms (if I can find my copies) on a pretty short list of high priority stuff. Anybody attached to any of those four? Or heck maybe it's Silmarillion time again- that's been a while.
