CRDaredevil05

So I started an attempt of this shortly after the game's release, but that attempt kinda fizzled out. I was a Hall of Famer in RTG 2016, so I should probably make an honest attempt in this one as well. Especially since it'll be interesting to do as a longer more dedicated series outside of my YT stuff. This is taking place in a 2006 Real World mod as well, but I plan to act as if I don't know the future outcome of anyone outside of their ratings at that moment in time. Nevertheless, rambling aside, here is what I'm starting off with:

<p>Year 1 (plus a couple of months) in the bag!</p><p> </p><p> Thanks to work restarting and the other TEW stuff I'm doing, it's been a bit harder for me to get to this as often as some of you have. Nevertheless, my challenge is still going well! Decent little strategy I have going to hopefully lead to further success as time goes on. Everything can be seen within the video linked below, although the last 10-15 minutes or so are just recapping the world outside of the challenge so not as necessarily. Admittedly did get a bit confused as to whether we're still doing year-end rolls on top of the achievement ones, but nevertheless, feel free to watch as my challenge continues! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://youtu.be/4QllXdzRmsc" rel="external nofollow">https://youtu.be/4QllXdzRmsc</a></p>

First update of my attempt (with video) I commend the hell out of some of you already a couple of years in. Doing a lot of other TEW content, I haven't been able to get too far into mine. I'm only 6 months in, but already making strides in many areas. Got a video if you'd like to see the progress for yourself, including the mystery box rolls, which will be linked in this, but other than my starter company's money, I'm not doing too bad so far. Good to see others doing well in this themselves. Link for the video: https://youtu.be/kC2PH_SmxTE

The first video of my Challenge! So as I said in my post, I will be recording my series along on my YouTube channel. The first video ended up being longer than planned as I was going into detail about the rules of the challenge that many of you clearly already know, so no worries if you want to skip this video, but if you'd like to check it out, I'd be much appreciative! Otherwise I'll be posting my videos relevant to the challenge heading forward (end of year, mystery box, etc.). Looking forward to seeing all this plays out for everyone and appreciate any of you who decide to check my series out! https://youtu.be/y6tnzsMeSoA

I went back into the skills after I had already randomized the skills, so that's why it showed a different thing at the bottom. Otherwise I would have created an experienced person there by accident as well. Lol. Appreciate you noticing that though. I forgot that it would have reset that after going back into it.

You can set it to excellent or random. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Here we go! Super excited to be doing this in this year's game! Kept wanting to redo an attempt in 2016 after hitting that HoF status in it and never did, so I'm excited to make things happen in this one! (This is being done in a real world based database starting in October 2014.) Real Wrestling Action is my starting company taking place in the Midwest with a Silver Age Pro Wrestling product. The idea behind the company is kinda similar to NWA in the sense of it being a throwback to older wrestling and mostly in-ring action that still features characters and whatnot. CR Daredevil is an 18 year old middleweight technician who wears a mask everywhere he seems to go, as if trying to hide his identity from the world... for some reason.... (Side note, I did do the Quick Skill Creation tool and got really lucky with my stats adding up to 879 not counting Respect and Resilience. If this is an issue to start it this high, I can edit the stats down before I get too far into it. Feel like the Skill Creation causes higher than 750 a lot though, so maybe the first option should be higher? Just a thought.) The added benefit of this attempt is that the shows and whatnot will be recorded for my YouTube channel (CRDaredevil05 if it's not obvious lol), so you can watch my triumphs and failures along the way if you'd like. Look forward to seeing everyone else continue to progress in this!

<p>Huh...</p><p> </p><p> I mean, the attached picture kinda says it all...</p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2020_05/Capture.jpg.1d391a8096688d4695943040edbd6e5a.jpg" data-fileid="3679" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="3679" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="Capture.jpg.1d391a8096688d4695943040edbd6e5a.jpg" data-src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2020_05/Capture.jpg.1d391a8096688d4695943040edbd6e5a.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p>

Super excited for this! As a HoF from 2016's RTG, I've been watching this thread and getting more and more excited to attempt it again in 2020. Very much a fan of the new changes and can't wait to see how things end up!

Anyone else having a weird issue with the Sept data download? Everytime I download it and run it through my RAR extractor, it shows nothing in the folders. Never had this problem before, so it's kinda weird.

<p>Attempt Number 3 (after 2 had some issues)</p><p> </p><p> So due to my stream series having some technical issues (like a corrupted save), I'm going to be attempting this again, but this time off-screen. I have completed this before with David Arnold in Iowa Pro Wrestling. However, I'm going to be attempting something a bit different this time around. The company is a bit different, Pro Wrestling X, with only Heavy Traditional and Medium Modern for a product. All matches will be scripted early on to help with the lower psychology people I'll be bringing in. Anywho... (no pictures right now)</p><p> </p><p> David Arnold</p><p> 50 Chain/Mat/Submissions</p><p> 70 Basics/Psych/Safety/Consistency</p><p> 45 Selling</p><p> 25 Athleticism</p><p> 60 Stamina</p><p> 30 Toughness</p><p> 40 Mic</p><p> 35 Charisma/Acting</p><p> 30 Star Quality</p><p> 20 Menace</p><p> All the rest are 0's</p><p> </p><p> 65 Face/35 Heel</p><p> 35 Cocky/Legit</p><p> 50 Comedy</p><p> 60 Crazy/Weird/Wholesome (starting with Fan's Own gimmick although gimmicks aren't needed)</p><p> </p><p> Going to try what a lot of people have said and focus on smaller rosters, shows earlier in the month, and trying to have as low of costs as possible. Owner is Jordan Schneider who's an announcer and I plan to have myself as a Road Agent for every match other than my own, not hiring one until we're in the black.</p><p> </p><p> Let's see how things go! I'll see you all at the end of the first year!</p>

<p>Take 2?</p><p> </p><p> Well hello there fellow RTG challenge partakers/followers. I am CRDaredevil05, someone who already completed the rigorous RTG challenge before with a lot of luck basically. Lol.</p><p> </p><p> Anywho, I have decided to make a second attempt at this to see if I can do it again. Only this time... I'm streaming it on Twitch for the world to see! That's right, doing a streaming version of the RTG challenge and even getting this challenge out there and known for those who don't know about it already. I will be putting the site for it in the description of my YouTube videos with hopes that maybe I can turn others towards wanting to do this as well. </p><p> </p><p> That being said, you can find me on either Twitch or YouTube under the username CRDaredevil05. I can't promise a set schedule for streaming the challenge because I'm a college student in a relationship and about to start a new job. I will be streaming it about once a week, maybe more some weeks, but not sure on set times or days. I usually also post when I'm streaming on my Twitter under the same username. </p><p> </p><p> I won't be doing pictures on here for various reasons, but here are some of the details going on:</p><p> </p><p> CRDaredevil05 is the wrestler's name.</p><p> Technician is his style of wrestling.</p><p> He's located out of the MidWest as is the starter company Pro Wrestling X.</p><p> Pro Wrestling X has the Evolve wrestling style although there might be some changes thanks to the new owner Wink Vasvasser. </p><p> </p><p> As for stats, we're looking at:</p><p> 35/65 Babyface/Heel</p><p> 50 in Cocky, Crazy, Legit, Brute, Weird, and Wholesome</p><p> 60 in Chain Wrestling, Mat Work, Submissions, Basics, Psychology, Consistency, and Stamina</p><p> 70 in Safety</p><p> 45 in Selling</p><p> 25 in Athleticism</p><p> 30 in Toughness, Charisma, Acting, Star Quality, and Menace</p><p> And 40 in Microphone</p><p> </p><p> Definitely excited to make this happen and hope some of you join me for the ride to come. I'll be posting updates on here at times, including what my year end roll is.</p>

<p>Thanks</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Bad Collin" data-cite="Bad Collin" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41290" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Nice One!

It was definitely a lot of fun, something I'm definitely glad I took the time to do. I'm honestly kinda surprised I did it as quickly as I did as well, but I got lucky I guess. Then again, it helped that I ended up with a relaxed owner as well who's owner goals were only like "Don't hire a Psychopath" and "Don't hire an MMA crossover". Pretty easy to avoid those. </p><p> </p><p> I've already decided I'll be doing a second challenge in the near future and limiting myself even more this time around. I'll figure out the right time to start that though, about to actually start a different TEW playthrough where I'll be recording/streaming a 0/0/0/1000 promotion. Basically it'll be this only without the RTG wrestler part and with more restrictions on my end. May end up using the random roll though, that could be interesting. </p><p> </p><p> Anywho, I'll definitely keep an eye on this and cheer on everyone else still going!</p>

Tis a bit minor, but... Hey, I love the mod, definitely glad you're doing it. I did notice one weird thing though. It has Bully Ray and Velvet Sky dating in the game, which they are in real life, but it also has Bully Ray listed as being married to someone outside of the business. When I was doing my RTG save, I had it pop up that he got divorced and found myself incredibly confused, so I checked the database. Thanks.

<p>And that's the ballgame boys and girls!</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/8BRfQwu.png</span></p><p> </p><p> That's right. It took almost 5 and a half years, hundreds of shows, a rise to Global status in the world and a near-perfect show (all matches were A's except for one B+. However, it has happened! A* main event match on a PPV! And retaining the title against Aaron Stevens, who was David's recent rival, was just the icing on the cake! </p><p> </p><p> I'll probably continue going with this to see what kind of career David ends up with, but I may start this again and add even more restrictions on myself like the ability to only hire unemployed people alone instead of being able to steal them away from other companies during offer battles or some other kind of restriction. Nevertheless, I'm not sure it'll be added to the first page of this since it doesn't seem to have been updated in a long time, but I'm excited for it nonetheless!</p><p> </p><p> Best of luck to anyone else still doing this, I'll pop in from time to time to keep an eye on it or to possibly even start another one in a little while. For now though, it's on to a bit more of a fantasy booking kind of save now.</p>
