    A Warriors Journal

     

    Its been 1 month since I left my home in Mexico. I was given an offer I couldnt refuse: fight for my freedom or be deported back home where there is no such opportunity. Things are extremely difficult but thats a way of life. Ive been fighting all my life; for food, for education, for money. For me, its always been a game of survival - I know no other way.

     

    I made 3 separate attempts at crossing the border but was captured every time. My last attempt landed me in jail. You see, when you are pushed into a corner, you have no other choice but to fight back...which is what I did. I was taught that if someone puts their hands on me in a way I dont like, i have the right to defend myself. Its only right. That little stunt I pulled at the immigration office should have sent me away for several years..... Should have.

     

    I found myself face to face with immigration officials the next morning. I was sure they were going to throw the book at me but God must have had his eye on me that day because the judge took one look at me with a face of disgust & dismissed all charges. He told me he never wanted to see my face in his court room again. Fine by me...

     

    On my way out I spotted a BMW with tinted windows parked adjacent to the courthouse. It was all black with shiny chrome wheels & a paint job so fresh you could lick it. I knew big business when I saw it. I was accustomed to seeing cars like that around town. Usually it meant drugs, dirty money or dirty business. Either way it was never anything good. I proceeded to walk the other way. The car made a sudden U-turn & slowly followed me. The windows came about half way down & a hand gestured me toward the vehicle. I cautiously approached unsure of what was to come.

     

    The door opened revealing 2 men & a woman dressed to the gills.

     

    VK: Its ok....have a seat.

     

    I carefully made my way into the vehicle, watchful of their every move.

     

    VK: Hello, Mr. Navarro, I see youve had quite the morning.

     

    JN: ....Who are you & what do you want?

     

    VK: My name is Valentina Konstantinovna. And the real question is: What can I offer you?

     

    JN: What is going on?

     

    VK: I am the spokesperson for Matty Fernandez, President of Caged Warriors (Syn City).

     

    JN: Whats that?

     

    VK: We are one of the top mixed martial arts organizations in Helsinki. We are scouting for top talent around the world & you happen to catch our eye.

     

    JN: What about me?

     

    VK: Weve been watching you. We like how you handled yourself against those officers. That was a nice display of skill & strength. We would like to present to you an offer.

     

    JN: What kind of offer? If its drugs I want no part of it!

     

    VK: We want you to FIGHT!

     

    JN: No way! Its that same fighting bullshit that nearly got me...

     

    VK: And it was WE that got you out of it! We have our ways of persuading those in power....its not hard. *smirks*

     

    JN: So....whats the deal?

     

    VK: ....We are prepared to make you an offer you cannot refuse....

  2. How about we have a universal weigh-ins feature where fighters weigh in a day before? If there is a fighter that misses weight, the matchmaker has a day to find a replacement. If he cant the fight is cancelled, if he can the card stays together but this will help prevent cancelled fights which hurts .org hype.

     

    This works especially because the traveling feature is turned off so once you find a replacement, fights on.

     

    Of course you run into a situation where the manager of the replacement doesnt log on to see the fight offer and misses the fight.

  3. Check your PA's settings. There is an option to buy clothing/nutrition for each fighter.

    Yea I have my PA set to buy clothing but not my other fighter. My guess is he took it upon himself to buy his own clothing because:

     

    A. My PA is broke is can’t afford to buy clothing.

    B. He does not approve of the clothes my PA chooses for him and decided to buy his own stuff.. lol

  4. What do you all think about implementing these into the fight engine?

     

    Signs that he is hurt or compromised in the fight.

     

    Example:

    Fighter A lands a beautiful body kick!

    Fighter B is hunched over and is retreating. Hes hurt!

     

    Or...

     

    Fighter A just landed a devastating 1-2 combination!

    Fighter B is rocked! He counters with a sloppy takedown attempt thats shrugged off easily.

     

    Or...

     

    Fighter A just landed a nasty leg kick to the thigh!

    Fighter Bs leg is starting to bruise. He cant take too many more leg kicks.

    Fighter B takes a viscous kick to the leg! Hes beginning to limp now.

     

    And speaking of that, Id like to see finishes with leg kicks and body shots.

     

    Also Id like to see a drop in confidence if the fighter is being dominated. The drop in confidence would be represented by the fighter being more defensive despite the original game plan.

  5. We should be able to update a coaches skill levels without having to sack him and start over. It messes up training for those that set n forget their training for the week.

     

    As a gym owner we might mess up and accidentally make a Coach Elite in 1 area like Clinchwork instead of double Elite & we want to change it without hurting the fighters training.

  6. Question:

     

    If a fighter trains under a double elite Boxing/MT coach, lets say Striking Defense in particular, does that help him defend punches AND kicks as opposed to an Elite Boxing coach that trains the striking defense?

  7. Call outs - Under the Edit Personal Details page where you have post-fight options, you can choose to call out any fighter. There would be a tab, you choose the Call Out option & simply type in the fighters Name/ID & an automated message is DMd to the manager/matchmaker to setup the fight.

     

    Depending on if its a good/bad call out will affect your hype. (Ex. Calling out the champ when youre ranked 10 would not go over well with fans. However calling out a guy you matchup well with stylistically and close in rank would raise hype.)

     

    Contesting a loss or draw - similar to call outs there should be an option to contest the fight. This will either go good/bad with the fans and affect your hype

     

    Referee breaking the clinch - I dont know if someone suggested this already as I havent read through the thread but this would be great. Its self explanatory but we have referee stand ups, why not for breaking the clinch for inactivity?

     

    Adding to the above. Referee personalities. Just like IRL each referee is different. Some will let you work on the ground/clinch while others will stand a fight up quickly.

     

    Also we should have an option in the tactics section to fight Southpaw/Orthodox/Conventional/Switch or utilize an MT/Karate stance or a low wrestling stance to defend/shoot takedowns.

  8. Its been quite awhile. 5 years or so to be exact (been bored lately lol) but that itch finally came back....

     

    Glad to see not much has changed. Anyhoo I had a question. Im going through my VIP trial again & I was wondering if I need to go full VIP to start a business or am I missing something?? ??
