Bad Collin

Most people just post an end of year update.

There are no size limits You don't have to move, in fact in TEW13 it was so hard to get new jobs that moving happened rarely. You can move to a company one size above what you are currently. The first roll is at the end of year one.

Here is my first user character. I've gone for a high flier in a newly created high flier friendly UK promotion. Since 21CW's product is bad for high fliers i'm hoping there will be plenty available. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/Badcollin/Hawke%20Start_zpsswcvimrb.jpg

I've doubled up the gimmick performance rolls which leaves four new slots to take advantage of the new features. I've added one already; Hiring a dirty doctor. I'm looking for suggestions for the final three slots, hopefully we can get this finalised before the game is released tomorrow.

I think it's ok as long as they are signed to PPA's. Adding workers to written contracts would definitely go against the rules.

Yeah, I think this would place too many restrictions on your user character.

I was thinking of some kind of scoring system. So for example you might get 100 points for every size you move up, 100 points for your first A rated match, 200 for A* and so on. If you were struggling you could 'buy' exemptions to the rules; e.g. lose 200 points to turn the dirt sheet on, lose 300 to see numbers rather than grades, maybe pay 50 points per skill point etc I added body types to 48 and 49 so you now get a choice of changing body type or size. If we are going to add more we need to decide what rolls are going to go, start doubling them up or have more than 54. If we doubled up the gimmick rolls (so you could choose Cocky or Weird for example) that would add four extra slots

1 - We'll have to wait and see what difference this makes 2 - I think this just adds to the challenge I'm not sure either, I wonder if Derek B knows. There is painkiller addiction and steroid abuse for a start, I have added them to the yearly roll in place of gaining refereeing or announcing skills. There are various other things we could add in like employing a dirty doctor.

Amazing post, this idea in particular is fantastic. I usually start off with a title tournament and then base all feuds around the belt. With a small number of people it is easy to keep everyone involved in the title hunt. Find out who has good chemistry and team them up, alliances lead to good storys I find.

Several people have asked for this to be copied over to the new forum so here it is. Credit to Kamchatka for creating the challenge. I have copied the challenge over from 2013 with some minor rule clarifications but we should talk about whether we need to change anything to take advantage of the new features. ---------------- THE ROAD TO GLORY CHALLENGE ----------------- Your goal is to actively rise through the ranks of the wrestling business and star in a National or larger promotions PPV's main event with an A* rating. You begin as an 18 year old custom made wrestler as the Head Booker of a local created 0/0/0/1000 backyard fed. You must always be the booker not the owner, following owner goals is a key part of this challenge. ----- CHARACTER STATS Age: 18 (If playing the default Cornellverse your birthday should fall between January 1997 and December 1997) Reputation: Lowest Potential: Excellent (you can set this to random if you wish) Skills: Your character starts with Resilience 100, Reputation 50 and Respect 0. You have 750 Points to spend on other skills. (No skill may exceed 75 to begin with) Performance Skills Babyface/Heel - 100 Points to spend Cool/Cocky/etc - 300 Points to spend Popularity: 0 Everywhere Fluent: Home area language ONLY ----- STARTING PROMOTION It should be a 0/0/0/1000 Promotion. That means it has 0 Popularity, 0 Momentum, 0 Prestige and $1000 in the bank. Edit the promotion into the database before you begin the game, it is recommended that you select an owner who will be cheap and put him on a PPA deal. 2016 is hard on very small companies so just surviving the first year is a challenge itself. Your product can be whatever you want it to be. CHANGING PROMOTIONS When you are ready to move on from your starting company you can only take a booking job in a promotion 1 level larger than your current employer or your previous if you are currently unemployed. For the purposes of this challenge National/International/Global all count as the same level. If you drive your promotion bankrupt then you may only accept your next position with a company of the same size or lower than they were when they closed. You may not create Company Pacts unless the AI initiates them OR you get an End Of Year roll specifying that you may do so. USER PREFERENCES Everything should be turned on, making the game that little bit harder. If you do play with anything other than this then you will be playing the "Lite" version of the challenge. -------------------- THE MYSTERY BOX When you complete a year, roll randomly on this list as an added bonus. This is for the RTG Challenge, but would also work to spice up normal games. Here is the list at the moment. 1.

Random.org is also very useful for random numbers: https://www.random.org/ Alternatively, you can use a deck of cards to roll for you as the numbers have been deliberately limited so that you can use a standard deck plus jokers to do the roll for you.

<p>I just finished a month as 21CW. I managed to improve my grades a bit but i'm down to 79 pop and I lost $413k, this is going to be a challenge.</p><p> </p><p> Story wise I have Tommy propping up Edward as champion. Dark Angel became number one contender but Tommy convinced him to give up the title shot in order to face him in the main event of World War IX.</p><p> </p><p> I really messed up the UK title scene. I was going to have Seb Koller go over all of the hosses in the mid card but I accidentally had him drop the title to Danny Patterson. I had Koller win it back at the next TV show but he injured Patterson in that match and now he has locker room heat. I'll probably have to abandon that feud and use the title to elevate Orson instead.</p>

I want the Cornell Family to build an empire for my eternal favourite Wade Orson to knock down and i'm prepared to go without a figurehead for a while to achieve this. I'm thinking that they add Cliff King and War Machine to the group, maybe Beast Bantom too. WWIII is the season finale so I think the Cornell's achieve total dominance at WW 2016 and are overthrown in 2017's.

Wow, you nailed it. I'm looking forward to having another go tonight.

I only managed one show with 21CW last night and it tanked. Most matches were ok but Tommy Cornell and DJ Reason only got a 64 in the main event. I'm torn on what to do with 21CW. Common sense says turn Tommy face and make him the figurehead but the Cornell family storyline is too interesting to just sweep aside.

These renders are amazing, thank you to everyone for these This one in particular is incredible. I immediately signed Victor Beskov and put him in this mask.
