JOHNNY B SAYS
The members of the winning group from this year's Stablecade will have 100 losses removed from their records! They'll also receive $100,000 in imaginary earnings. Everyone else who enters the contest will have 20 losses removed from his or her record. We're basically bribing people to sign up, because all entry fees are going to help manager Jim Ripka's family pay for his physical therapy as he recovers from a recent stroke.
Please help us raise money for this cause, and do your part to stop the VIRUS stable from winning for a fourth consecutive year! And if you're able, donate some extra money to Jim's family by visiting https://www.plumfund.com/medical-fund/jim-blazers-fundraiser (Jim goes by "Jim Blazer" online).
The active wrestlers in two of our Elite leagues, the Living Nightmare League and the United Nations League, made IWA history by scoring identical average strategy totals and winning simultaneous two matches for $1 cycles! And speaking of our Elite leagues...
Not only is there apparently some character named Mitchell Johnson playing our game, but he has somehow managed to win the highly coveted Elite title. If ever there were a sign that our Elite title needed more competition, that is surely it. Stay tuned for a major announcement about this major title!
Next up is a major announcement about a major title: next cycle, the LPL, LSL, and all six of our new pioneer leagues will become Elite leagues. The LPL and pioneer leagues have always had a qualifying limit, and the players in the LSL just completed their efforts to bring their league into compliance.
The title will only have two rules from now on: a league can only have Elite status while it has a limit of, at most, six wrestlers per manager, and an Elite league must have at least 50 cards in a cycle for its champion to be eligible to win the Elite belt. We are dropping the requirement that the Elite leagues must collectively average at least 50 cards in order to have the belt be an option for the winner, because it wouldn't be fair to the players in the current Elite leagues if we kept it in place while adding leagues left and right (again, this is all Mitchell's fault).
Just in case having a shot at a real-life belt isn't enough incentive to join, we're offering free wrestler creation in all eight of these soon-to-be-Elite leagues! You can create up to six wrestlers in each of them for free, but this offer is only good next cycle, and you must submit at least one singles match for each wrestler (you may write the name of a regional title or "jobber" as the opponent).
The Louisiana Purchase Ligue and Louisiana Swamp League are both in the Steel Federation. The six pioneer leagues are the Black Ops League in the Iron Federation, the Hired Assassin League in Steel, the Western Trails League in Gold, the No Man's League, which is a ladies' league in the Diamond Federation, the Brass Knuckles League in Bronze, and the Zig Zag League in Jade. (For those of you reading this who paid to create wrestlers in these pioneer leagues, you will be receiving a refund for those fees, so make sure you are actually reading this.)
Our final note this cycle concerns a suggestion from manager Jeremy Workman. He thought our results would look more realistic if the attendance of the various cards were based on the level of activity in the league, rather than having it be completely random. His approach allows commissioners and other players to be rewarded with more and more fans in the stands as they work to make their league more exciting.
Did we like his idea? Check the attendance in your bulletin to find out!
