JeeberD · 04-13-2005, 09:45 AM

Dang game is stuck in update mode this morning...

stevew · 04-13-2005, 09:51 AM

PM Elitists-West if any of you can use a contract. I have a decent amount to offer yah, and have no problem committing to someone i may lose money on for the first single or 2 of a 3 single 1 album deal

And the damn game is stuck.

Franklinnoble · 04-13-2005, 12:24 PM

Still stuck...

Karlifornia · 04-13-2005, 02:15 PM

Alright I signed with Patriot Records, Franklin....now, do I get $50,000 for every album? does that include $50,000 for each single, too? I'm just not sure how much cash I should be spending on each recording....

Yep, you get $50k for each recording - single or album. Spend all of it. And it's best to go over and spend some of your own cash, if you can. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.

Remember, you have to pay the label back the $50k out of your sales before you see any money, so you want to release a pretty good number of records.

Klinglerware · 04-13-2005, 10:49 PM

Unstuck...

Maximum Appeal is looking to re-up with Front Office Records. We've risen to new heights with our label, including our first top 40 single. We'd like to continue to build with strong label support...

Franklinnoble · 04-14-2005, 01:03 PM

Fuck. It got unstuck late, and I didn't get a monthly schedule set.

Dammit. Both my bands had an idle month now. That sucks.

Same here.
And just the month when my punk band The Clits sold more than 300,000 copies of their album and probably made the Top 10 list, so that i missed that...

Grrr !

Karlifornia · 04-14-2005, 04:57 PM

It's telling me my band name doesn't exist? Uh oh. Did we break up or something!?! Things were just starting to look up

Swaggs · 04-14-2005, 05:53 PM

I think if you go a certain amount in debt, your group disbands.

Lorena · 04-15-2005, 02:59 AM

Oh yeah, Las Picosas is part of the Mavapalooza lineup!! Hear it and weep biatches!!

tucker342 · 04-15-2005, 03:13 AM

Well, just thought that I would do a little Kleft update...

In a few months I'll record my 2nd album with the number one rated label, Thug Life Productionz. My newest single, Oasis sold over 500,000 copies in its first month. I'm also part of the Mavapalooza lineup.

Things are going well

sterlingice · 04-15-2005, 04:49 AM

Craziness- we're back up to 20 bands now

Congrats to Front Office Records band The Pasty White Thighs for their entry into Mavapalooza

SI

Airhog · 04-15-2005, 06:46 AM

I didnt make Mavalapalooza. Althought my last single did debut at number 13 on the charts a few months ago.

Franklinnoble · 04-15-2005, 12:50 PM

I didn't make the mavapalooza cut.

Oh, well.

Tigercat · 04-15-2005, 01:17 PM

Both of my bands, PTSH and Redkem, are on the main stage at Mavapalooza. I'm not sure how it works though, cause its not taking up time on the schedule screen, I wonder if it has any real impact on the bands. It may just be for show?

sachmo71 · 04-15-2005, 01:22 PM

No festival for the Earworms, either.

Woot! Thanks. Very glad we made it, didn't expect to.

I think the Thighs are quickly becoming Indie Rock sellouts.

Now if I can get them healthy, which is not going well so far.

I'm sorry to say that this first year it will just be for pride (and mysteriously takes 0 days out of the schedule). I implemented the festival because I wanted a cool new feature, but didn't give myself much time to make it very robust. I will expand on this for the next festivals. My goal is that by the time the next mavapalooza rolls around, gate receipts will be added.

I did design it in such a way as to make adding other festivals (i.e. genre specific) easy to add. Next up my own personal wish list item: Metal Maven 2009!

Ben E Lou · 04-17-2005, 01:35 AM

Too Bad Bruthaz do it again, fool. Their fourth album, entitled Fo' Pennies, is the #2-seller overall for the month. This monster success went Gold in its very first month on the market. More importantly, it penetrated the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of America's youth with criminal old-school gangsta stories, fly slammin' chest-thumping dope beats, and the filthiest langauge possible. We recommend that all who purchased Fo' Pennies should play it at maximum volume, preferably in a residential area.

kingfc22 · 04-17-2005, 01:54 AM

Fantasy had the #1 pop single this past month as they sold 193,000 copies of Whoa!.

Franklinnoble · 04-17-2005, 02:10 AM

I think the genre you pick has as much to do with your success in this game as anything... however, I would be interested in any strategy tips you guys might have to share - my teen pop band seems to be underperforming... time to audition new musicians, perhaps?

Looks like the Earworms have a better chance of making that one!

Klinglerware · 04-17-2005, 02:54 PM

Maximum Appeal's new single "Maximum Appeal - The Remix" has cracked the Top 20 and is this past month's number one selling teen pop single!

We're engineered for maximum appeal baby!

Rest them with songwriting 101 more often.

Airhog · 04-17-2005, 09:49 PM

Ive found that even writing good songs, and even highly rated singles, you still just need some quantity to get high sales. Each record I have made has increased in sales, so just keep popping them out.

Swaggs · 04-17-2005, 10:01 PM

Always promote. Especially when you release an album or record, but once you have enough money, promote every month.

Klinglerware · 04-19-2005, 06:57 AM

Franklinnoble · 04-19-2005, 11:39 AM

Damned game is stuck...

Qwikshot · 04-19-2005, 11:43 AM

Question?

I checked the MM forum but couldn't find anything concerning rest and what abilities are improved upon. Some are fairly obvious but others aren't so.

Secondly, does anyone noticed that when the game is stuck, it's stuck on rest, and that you can usually alter your days rest to the maximum?

Franklinnoble · 04-19-2005, 11:52 AM

I dunno... but if I lose another month because of this, I'm gonna be pissed... maybe I'll demand my money back or something...

stevew · 04-19-2005, 12:06 PM

Arrrrrghhh, I know its a free game, but I'm rapidly losing interest when it crashes a couple times a week like this.

There is a thread on the second or third page which tells you what each resting ability raises but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

SI

Franklinnoble · 04-19-2005, 07:26 PM

Fuck. Game's still stuck. I probably won't be online tonight, which means I'll have another wasted month.

Maybe this game can be programmed for an automatic default schedule - like, if you're not online for a daily update, it automatically sends you on a 14 day tour, ten days of practice, and the remainder in general rest or something.

stevew · 04-19-2005, 08:10 PM

yeah, for real, Still stuck.

Coop · 04-19-2005, 11:37 PM

Klinglerware · 04-20-2005, 06:57 AM
