Wasn't sure where to ask about this, so I figured I'd post here.
Very new to all this, and doing it through CotG Online, and there's a few questions that have come up (I'm sure there will be more later.)
1)One of the options that comes up when reporting/recording results is a star rating for the match. Are there any particular techniques that get used for figuring this out, or is it just sort of a 'your best guess if you liked it' type of deal?
2)Similarly, 'match time' is another listed stat. Do people bother figuring out how long matches actually go for? Is there a formula (or two or three) that get used for that?
3)Finally for now, can the Filsinger Games system actually do, say, a Triple Threat Match? Or at that point, are you going to need to use the 'simulator' or a similar proxy to get a result?
Thanks!

Or at that point, are you going to need to use the 'simulator' or a similar proxy to get a result? Thanks! 1. I use the following method: Count up the number of Pin Tokens added during the match. Divide by the number of wrestlers in the match (2 for singles, 4 for tag, etc). One extra bonus star for Title Matches. Bonus star for Feud matches. And sometimes, I'll add a bonus star or two for a really action packed match that deserves it. I do add 1/2 stars as well. 2. I think only the Sim on COTGOnline gives you a time. I do know others have different formulas for getting match time, I'll let them chime in. 3. There are rules for Triple Threat matches available, but not sure if they are in the COTGOnline system or not. I'm sure Mike or Todd can answer that. WELCOME! |

Or at that point, are you going to need to use the 'simulator' or a similar proxy to get a result? Thanks! 1) I also use Toasterboy's method: divide the number of tokens earned by the number of wrestlers in the match; add one for a title match. I never added one for a feud match before, but I may start doing that. 2) I use a stopwatch and double the time on the watch to determine how long a match lasted. For example, a match that went 2:34 on the stopwatch actually lasted 5:08 in game time. (The only exception is for a battle royal, where actual time = game time.) I've used this method for years, and it works well for me. 3) If you mean the card-and-dice system, then yes; there are rules available for a Tirion Triple Threat match. I don't know about functionality in the online system, though it shouldn't be too hard to just pull up three wresters and use the Tirion rules to play out the match. (At least, I don't think so.) |

Useful tips, thanks!
Of course, that just means I have more questions...
1)Is there a place to find rules for stipulation matches? The online Game Table lists rules for Cosmic Cage, Titan Death Match, and Torture Chamber, but is there somewhere I should be looking for others? Obviously, I don't mind throwing a bit more money at FG if it's in a pdf booklet or something.
2)On a more storyline note, are there any established personalities who serve as interviewers or commentators? Given just how many characters exist, I assume that it's something that's come up, but being new to this, I don't know where in the wiki to start poking.

I know there is a Ringside Companion for 2105 (it's outdated, but I got it anyway). I do want an updated Ringside Companion at some point, if Filsinger ever gets around to it.
2. I know in 2129, Nitro serves as an interviewer for the GWF, but there are likely others that do. I only know about 2125 and beyond, so I can't help you before then.
