WWE Game IX: Highway to Hell

[Hammy]

Or, John Cena will come back, win the Royal Rumble and be snatched up by your nearest competitor before your torrent has even started downloading.

... Wait. No. That was me!

Is this going to be like Montreal '97, you going to bring this up every game

You got the Bret Hart DVD recently right? Are we going to have to wait nearly ten years before we can have a manly handshake and put the past behind us....

Thanks to Hammy for the Heat scores.

[D]

I know i technically over spent for Kozlov. 100,000 was very very steep but the guy has been gettin me 12pts a week since i got him which has been huge especially from the 4th hole. I am very happy I dropped Murdoch instead of Ashley as well.   Now, if my team can just keep this up.

What gives me hope is, WWE usually has somewhat decent title runs. Kane just won at WM so I cant see him losing real soon. Why would CM punk challenge Kane for the ECW Title? Wouldnt make sense, so i expect CM to not use that till maybe SS.  Hardy just won US gold so I dont see him losing it anytime soon either.

Beth is the wildcard. I dont know what they are gonna do with her and Mickie. That is one title I can definitely see Beth winning back and then their feud continue another month or two.

Does anyone know that Heat results? I can't watch it on wwe.com.

If I only could of drafted one spot below you. I so wanted Kane with my second pick.  I cant say I seen his huge ECW push but I knew he was worth alot more then Umaga. I am just pished that Umaga isnt doing crap and the only time i see Jericho is either as a ref or his STUPID and I mean pointless worthless Highlight Real Segments.

[D]

To think I came close to taking Finlay! HHAHAHH very very close

[Mr Cowbell ?]

To think I came close to taking Finlay! HHAHAHH very very close

Don't even tell me that D, I thought after WM finlay's on tv role would go down some. I hope Kane breaks a leg tripping over Chavo

[D]

This is a super long game. I have in no way "wrapped" this thing up

Hammy is just trying to jinx me


I dont think anyone has ever dominated from beginning to end.

I dont think anyone has ever dominated from beginning to end.

The BU/HT Connection did the first time we won the tag game.

But that was a shorter game. And not a singles game. But whatever, we did.

[Hammy]

Rescend my 20 on Curt Hawkins

Im gonna hang with the hooker Ashley for a couple more weeks.

Are we allowed to take bids away?

No.

Dude....you know the rules.

[D]

Rules were made to be broken butter nuts!


Where does it say once u bid u cant take the bid back?



Im on the phone with my attorneys right now!

There is nothing in the rules that says u CANT Retract a bid


NEW DRAFTING PROCESS FOR DEBUTANTS AND THOSE ON THE DRAFT LIST

Everyone has to be bid for and to win that bid, 48 hours has to pass by without anyone outbidding you, minimum bids for all is $20,000.

The most you can bid assuming you haven't used any trades is $120,000. 

Now if a Goldberg debuted i am sure at least two people would bid the full amount (Use ALL their trades), so, in that unlikely scenario you would then bid points as well.  As i said though it's a unlikely scenario so that would not happen often. 

Now tactics can come in say someone has 4 trades left ($80,000) someone could outbid them with $81,000 and still have $39,000 left.

If someone bids you cannot bid the same you have to bid an increased amount of at last an extra $1,000 unless they have bid $120,000 in which case you bid that and points to.

Anyone who debuts during the drafting process will just be added to the list, timing's a bitch 

[Hammy]

My mistake, I did not write it in the rules.  Call it an unwritten rule then.

Fact is you can't honestly say you didn't know this was a rule.

People have been told in previous games as well that they can't retract bids as you were in this game, hell if we could I'd of retracted my bid for Bam Neely.

If it was a possibility to retract bids then you could make it impossible for someone to win a bid for a wrestler because there's nothing that says you can't retract a bid then place down a fresh one.  I could outbid you, retract it after 24 hours, then make a new bid, then retract it again, and go on and on.....

More so, in games with this bidding system, you and me both have bid on people in an effort to crank up the bids, what's the point if you can just retract your bids, I don't even know why I'm explaining all this, people know this is the way it's worked, don't start pleading ignorance now.

[D]

Honestly

I swear I am being 100 percent honest


I thought u couldnt retract your bid for a NEW DEBUT

cause if u could u could jack the price way up and then pull out and cost the guy under you a huge amount of pts

I honestly didnt think it mattered for people on the scrap heap that dont really matter anyway. I mean doing so is in now way gaining me any type of advantage. Hawkins, Ashley, Bam


I dont think anyone is lining up to outbid me on Hawkins or Bam and if I made a bid, what does it matter if I change the wrestler I am bidding for? Its not like its preventing someone else from getting that wrestler if they wanted them

I think u have to be able to change your mind. What If I bid 100,000 for Kozlov and before 48 hours was up he got released. Should i still be on the hook even though it hadn't went through yet?

I think in that 48 hour time slot, u should be able to change your mind and retract as long as u are doing something dishonest like intentionally price gouging on new debuts in order to try and bait someone into spending more than they would have.

retracting a bid for a Heat superstar is hurting no one's game.
none are a game changer by any means.

[Jim]

I honestly didnt think it mattered for people on the scrap heap that dont really matter anyway. I mean doing so is in now way gaining me any type of advantage. Hawkins, Ashley, Bam

Actually, it could. If you kept putting in bids for those there people on that scrap heap and then retracting them then eventually somebody is going to think that you're onto something that they're not and bid on them as well.

I mean, sure, it wouldn't happen if you kept doing it, but it could if somebody else did it, too.

Just saying is all, there is an advantage to be had if you're looking to cost people money...

[Hammy]

If you thought Bam was "just" a Heat superstar you would not be bidding for him, as for the analogy that if Kozlov got released would you still have to pay, sure you would, for picking such a chump, it's the risk you take, just like it costs people a trade to drop injured and released people.  Whether they are on the draft list or not you can't retract bids, if you want to have a discussion about a rule change for this at the beginning of the next game then fine.  And 48 hours is up on Hawkins.
