First RTG I've stuck with kind of picked this back up after not playing this save since november last year. I screwed up the legitimacy of this RtG attempt by increasing my guys size which I wasn't aware that it changed some skills so this isn't a legit playthrough any longer but I'm having some fun with it and thereby not interested in restarting.
"No Frills Wrestling" has reached tiny finally as of week 4 August 2022 with our first 75 rated show.
We have rolled for:
50 rated show (Viral Video +10 pop)
50 rated match (Chance to train put into pysch and basics)
75 rated show (Musician put into charisma)
2x annual (Dynamo+ plays badass well, Groundswell of support)
Yet to roll for reaching tiny
yeah my logo sucks but better than no logo I guess
Brett Graveson was edited as original owner and has been a reasonable owner thus far. Backstory for the fed is Graveson's family owns a grocery store in Kansas City and runs shows out of it at night haha. Not sure if its the combo of using a perf product and "building up" guys like Elliers, Pain, Breaux, Newton, Matsumoto, Youngblood, Honeyman etc. but pop increase has been super slow compared to what other experiences I've been reading through this thread. I haven't bothered bringing in any over the hill high pop guys to leach off of oldest on roster is 35 and 36 (Newton and Furasawa respectively) Graveson set an owner goal of age limit as well. Turning a profit of around 3-4K a month now came back from 20ish in debt by some things I had to learn about the game early on. Running 2 shows a month and have averaged 60 minimum rated shows for roughly a year straight now.
Brought in a few workers that have been unsurprisingly poached like Aldous Blackfriar and Nelson Callum but not too bad there yet. 100% backstage is nice and XWA opened in Midwest where I'm located also as a perf fed. We have never had a show rating less than theirs though so not worried now that we are both tiny and have to do battle (I think?). Signed a PPA with Mabuchi Furasawa at $600 per show plus travel (vastly more than the rest of roster) and put him in a tag with my UC a couple months ago when I started the tag division but now he will likely dethrone Honeyman as the champ once his pop reaches 40+ and the tag will end with him assuming the position of singles champ. Since I botched this playthrough with the size change I created a 200 seat venue called "Graveson's No Frills" to continue the backstory a bit description being a grocery store. I'm assuming you can't create your own venues since it's "inorganic." My immediate goals moving forward are to trounce my direct rival XWA into bankruptcy but will see how that goes.
Noteable Happenings:
Honeyman and The Architect have good tag chemistry
Jak Pain and Jesse Elliers have good tag chemistry
Jesse Elliers is loyal to my UC
Mobstar and Youngblood have good tag chemistry
Guillaume Breaux is out for 1yr 2 months with a major concussion thanks to Jules Night who just returned from the same injury with the same time frame of absence. This happened maybe a month or two after WPL opened in mid south and signed him to a PPA so screw them.
CWW and FCW went bankrupt. GSW and MAW started their timers but are back in the black now. RIPW is in the red atm.
Should I be hiring announcers/colour at tiny?
