 Hi everyone! Odd question, but do real life events affect your fighters? I ask as one of my roster Emily Atack announced her first pregnancy over the Christmas holidays. My first reaction was that this was nice news, but then ‘oh no’ as she would be out of action with my Hour Glass Fitness for months! 🤣 I take it we can bring real world stories into the FCBA when it suits, but otherwise we can ignore real events if they get in the way of the bouts and stories here? 😀 |

That's a tricky one. I steer away from personal things like making fun of their current relationships, and kids. Though ex-boyfriends named MC Nunu, bad movies, and dumb career choices are fair game. However, if you are in doubt, that is probably a good instinct to follow.

Thanks, I was sort of thinking that, and especially where there are existing rivalries or disagreements in reality! 😀
Obviously if something terrible happened to a fighter in real life then I see that they are retried. Certainly hope that doesn’t happen to anyone here anytime soon.😔
More positively, it is fun to to take advantage of some of these celebrities bad decisions and poor career moves to create a good story and set-up for fights. 😀

Simguy used to take something like pregnancy into account but with Lookout it's being ignored for the sake of universe character play. However there are some names that you won't see in FCBA due to real-life circumstances. Some of the details surrounding their departure have been published on the boards already.

I'm pretty much with Vassago on this one. If it suits you to use real-life events, feel free, but don't be bound by them...except in those odd cases we've already discussed here where real-life events make using a fighter inappropriate.

Thanks guys for the guidance on this. 😀
Emily Atack is not part of any planned fight at the moment, but I’ll have a think and see if this great real world news for her fits with any storylines, etc. 😁

I couldn't agree more with what everybody stated and this sums it up extremely well. But, I'm always happy to discuss it and if you ever have a question on a fighter or any event surrounding a particular fighter, don't hesitate to reach out! |
