This Week At HollywoodRollers.com

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Looks like getting the reminder emails out has helped get people back to the site in time to bid on talent for this week’s round. As always I can’t thank everyone enough for helping out and playing. I will be sending out reminders through out the week as we move through the phases. You’ll basically see 2 more from me this week

A few pointers for bidding on talent

1. Always check the talent with n/a for last “last week’s performance.” That means that it is a new movie opening this week and they have the highest potential for making your film $$$

2. Remember to get all your talent. Each movie must have 1 producer, 1 director, and 4 actors.

3. Make multiple movies! You can make as many movies in your groups as you have talent. If you have 3 producers, 3 directors, and 12 actors you can create 3 fake movies

4. Don’t get bummed if you miss out on filling up on talent by Tuesday night. You can still buy talent at the talent agency up until Friday night. That will help you create a movie if you have some left over talent.

5, Fire talent you don’t need. You can go to manage talent and get rid of the dead weight. You only get back 75% of your bid price, but hey that’s better than $0

That’s all for trying to help you people beat me at my own game. In the mean time I have finally setup an email account “jason at hollywood rollers.com” Feel free to contact me with any suggestions or comments.

Good luck!
