  1. In an unprecedented move, camp Yellow Lotus has sent a whopping FIVE prospects to one org- Prospect MMA. Each of these fighters certainly has a lot of potential, and may even lose a title fight in the future. For now, let’s take a look at each of Yellow Lotus’ brightest new faces:

    The most promising of these prospects may be Pope Cozad. Following the resignation of Pope Pit Canthropus, Pope Cozad was named new Pope of the Tycoon world. Unlike His predecessor, Pope Cozad sticks very closely to the good word. It is known that his favorite passage is from Hebrews, “Those of whom believe in the divinity of See How It Goes shall be blessed with multitudes;” This was shocking to most Catholics, as we tend not to read that damn thing.

     

    Following his departure from RISE, Cozad won at his org debut, bringing his total record to 5-2.

    Jocko Goggins is a former self proclaimed fat fuck turned Navy Seal. Legend has it he hasn’t slept since he was 17 years old, and instead lays in bed at night with his eyes wide open, manually turning his brain to a REM-like frequency. Regardless of what you ask him, he says the exact same quote:” Mother Nature's a pissed off motherfucker, but guess what? So am I- SO who gives a fuck. We need doctors, we need teachers we need lawyers. This thing I do, it's not for everybody. I'm not asking you to be me. Do you. Stay Hard.” If knocked out, he will immediately get up and ask his opponent to do it again. Scary motherfucker.

    Tyrann Madden used to be a Free Safety for the Kansas City Chiefs,  but got so tired of his Strong Safety counterpart being the slowest white guy in the NFL that he decided to switch sports entirely. Despite perhaps not being as mentally tough as you’d hope for a fighter, noted by his squabbles with Quarterback Tommy Flatballs, he’s a phenomenal athlete and known ‘good guy.’

    Julian Diaz is as Diaz as they come. Recently winning in his org debut, He smokes an obscene amount of weed, is afraid of NO competitor, and shows no comprehension of basic grammar skills with his online tweets. Stockton Motherfucker!

    Morello Hawthorne is like a more violent Robert Smith. Raised in a cave of bats, Hawthorne clings to his goth aesthetic like a baby to a security blanket. Despite his cowardly appearance, Hawthorne is quite the Jiu Jitsu specialist, and looks to surprise the Bantamweight division with his granite chin and ground skills.

  2. Hi everyone!

    390k+ is right around the corner, which means it’s a perfect time to re-open the Creative Guild, a discord chat for discussing all things creative in Tycoon. Whether it be Fighter Bios, Avatars and Org lore, the Creative Guild has it all. Last go around, we even had a character based creation tourney based on it.

     

    i’ve included tons of helpful links pinned to one of the channels, and am hoping to get a community together- hope to see you there!

  3. Lucky Liam Retires

     

    By Chad Stevens, MMA-LA

     

    Following his decision win at Highland 180. Liam Murphy took a couple weeks off before deciding to officially hang up the gloves. Murphy signed for Highland shortly before Highland 7, and fought 27 fights for the organization, until the age of 31. 

    Murphy was twice a title challenger at Highland, in battles against both Noel Diaz and Ed Green. 

    Never quite dedicated enough to his craft, Liam was known for his 'good time, not a long tine' attitude in training. Island goers would often complain of smelling liquor on his breath when he entered the cage. This was worsened by his owning of Lucky Liam's Bar, which was open for 2 months at the beginning of the island season. It shortly closed after Liam was found drinking his profits. 

     

    In retirement, it is expected that Liam will loiter around the Yellow Lotus center, chasing after the next good time.

  4. Following his decision loss at GAMMA 958, Arlo Rochester laid down his gloves in the middle of the octagon. A tearful Rochester explained during his post fight interview, "The sport has passed me by, and that's okay. When I started I was just a scrappy kid with a mean right hook, and ambitions to travel the world. I'm not the best athlete in the world and I know it, but it was never about being the best. It was about the journey."

     

    Rochester plans on continuing as owner and instructor at Yellow Lotus, while spending more of his free time with his family. Like every athlete, a pro sports career is a fleeting and grueling profession. The years of training, dieting and sacrifices build into mountainous peak, just to wash away like sand. Behind every recently retired athlete is a person unsure of their next chapter, a passing into a new life. life goes on past sports, but there isn't a moment in which the current person isn't shaped by the past. Professions will change, habits will break, but the memories remain.

    Somewhere, Arlo Rochester is walking along a beach, the sand washing away in front of him. If he closes his eyes, he can still hear the sound of fans cheering his name.

    Interesting points.  Here's a question - If managers should give back their signing bonuses if they want to leave, why aren't orgs expected to pay up a fighter's contract when they release them?

    Because they have already paid that. you are paid your signing bonus at the beginning of the contract as soon as you sign. The bonus is the only thing guaranteed between either org or manager.

    This is good advice to keep in mind before you do your first QFC or tester fight as you train, but I believe the Cardio level required for it to 'cover' your hiddens is higher than the maximum you can start with. So I think you should be ok to 110 Cardio on creation assuming you test before you raise it too much higher.

    I think with some of the other physicals (like strength?) this threshold might be a bit lower, so maybe maxing them on creation may cover your ToTT. Except balance - I don't think there's any risk in covering any ToTT with good balance... but why would you have elite Balance with no other physicals haha.

    This is correct, 110 Conditioning won’t affect the TotT. Just get your test fight in before training it more. :)

    I love the moves Spurs have made so far. Bargain purchases, made early. 

     

    Massive moves for us so far. I expect a bit of a slow start- these new pieces will all need time to start working together- but it’s going to be a very successful season.

    Average Tycoon Player, after his KO win:

    “Another THRILLING result from myself, the GOAT of MMA. I could probably take on Kilo and Leif at the same time, but I don’t want to embarrass them. I’d be 5-0 if it weren’t for those irl hackers editing the judges scorecards.” The 2-3 Player said.

     

    ”Now I’m going back to my BEAUTIFUL mansion to have sexxorz with my many girlfriends. #RideorDie.”

     

    The Average Tycoon player was later seen in the basement of his moms house, microwaving some chicken tenders.
