Timber Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I await the howls of pain from Eidenhoek. This will be quite amusing. Though i am pulling for ya and love your Dynasty. Good luck chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanityisforbidden Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yes Eidenhoek you better make this a damn dairy! (So I can pick up pointers for my challenge, since it's the first time I've actually played around with C-Verse) Okay finally figured out my characters, 'Number 1' Matt Young, stats, stole Eidenhoeks idea for 100 Babyface and then 50/100/100 for Cool/Legit/Wholesome (why not). Here's the rest of the stats that have any value. Aerial: 25 Mat Work: 30 Chain Wrestling: 10 Submissions: 30 Microphone: 40 Charisma: 40 Acting: 15 Announcing: 4 Athleticism: 50 Toughness: 50 Stamina: 50 Power: 50 Basics: 55 Psychology: 70 Saety: 55 Consistency: 50 Selling: 50 Sex Appeal: 30 Star Quality: 45 Refereeing 1 And if my data entry skills are what they should be, that should be 750! Going to start up Central States Wrestling in the midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidenhoek Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Diary made. I'm actually 18, and the product is Key: Traditional, Mainstream, Comedy, Lucha Libre. Dunton Hall has a 0 on his gimmick. Awwww...and I made myself "Blue Collar", except "Bluer Collar" with 1 risk (is that the glitch? Huh...). I will be splitting into two brands, making every show branded on the brand no one is on. Why? Shut up is why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm gonna try and find a job elsewhere. If I can't within a year or two, I'm going to start over and try again and try and use cheaper talent. I feel like my character himself should be successful, I just messed up with my spending.

Timber Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I looked over the show you ran, Jaysin, you really got a lot of expensive talent. I can only imagine how much Hell Monkey, Snap, Gauge and Keith cost you. I think you went a tad overboard on the hires. In any other type of game, those would be great hires but for what's going on here it'll kill your promotion by bleeding money. If you restart and hire smaller guys, Ant Man, Running Wolf, the Remus kid, get a lady or two from BSC to be announcers, you'll go a lot further i'd imagine. Keep posting, i'm find this thread to be really fun to read. 0 promotions are very interesting to see and i find that many of the tips in here apply to every game that i run. Good luck guys.

Jaysin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm not all that familiar with the Cverse truthfully, so the names really didn't mean much to me. I just went after guys who looked talented lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKid Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Guessing your product wasn't very good for sponsorship. With such little starting money good sponsorship is a necessity. I just ran a test month to see how much sponsorship I would get with my product, and got a suprising $4000. I was being stingy when signing workers because I thought sponsors would give me peanuts. So stingy my show was 10 minutes of me having a promo with Nathanial Casino, before Ant-Man joined us in the ring for an epic 48 minute match, with no announcers, the road agent was Honey Golightly & the ref was J.K Stallings (who I decided could be my owner). The product (which was key features:hardcore,risque & daredevil) brought in $2000 each month and it was wk4 when we went under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidenhoek Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I might finally qualify for the Rookie of the Month now *shrug* Also, who the hell keeps rating my topics down? Sure, I gave mine five stars (for the lulz), but now it's down to two. Meaning I got two ratings of one star. What the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charasmatic Enigma Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Who are you guys using as owner? I've tried a few different guys, but struggling to find someone that fits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Who are you guys using as owner? I've tried a few different guys, but struggling to find someone that fits... J.K Stallings. He is less than useless at everything and served no other purpose in the database. Setting the owner as someone useful just seems wrong to me for this challenge.

Setting the owner as someone useful just seems wrong to me for this challenge. I went for Davis Ditterich in the end, under the theory I'd have signed him anyway. He's costing me 1500 a month as owner though, which is a lot more than the 600 you pay him normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest codey Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I set my first owner as Gil Thomas. He's got some use as a color commentator, but I tend to put my managers in that spot to help them develop their skills and and gain in overness. Mostly, I just picked him because he's flashy with his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I restarted, and he's on 500 per appearance. Now I feel much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan93 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I've never played with the C-Verse before, but I'll give it a shot. http://i56.tinypic.com/axdtut.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/25tunpd.jpg What are the rules for picking an owner?

Charasmatic Enigma Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Right, I've finally sorted everything out and I'll start this now. Here's my guys stats. http://ScrnSht.com/oqwepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWF Fan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Satrted up CWB (Boston) with $1000 and 0/0/0 Starting Roster is: Soldier Ant (Ant-Man), Adrian Noelson (Paradigm), Paradox, Sterling Keenan (Paranoia), Dwayne Hewitt, Ernie Turner, Kenny Jones (K-Squared), Lee Bambino, Phonse Lockett (Owner), Rayne Man, Roderick Remus, Stan Manna, Zachary Inc and my user character- http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy295/SWF_Fan/Untitled.png About to run the first of 4 shows a month, running a league so there's always 6 matches a show and the league can run for about 5 and a half months before the bottom 2 are relegated. First one will see the winner crowned champion. Let's see how long before I go bust aye... Also a little bit of info on the company, 80% match ratio and the product is purely key mainstream, comedy and traditional, super money for that.

1234 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I am going to have a quick joke to see how much a user character can improve in one year. Same user character as I posted before, but the promotion will be MHVW. What does that stand for? Matt Hall vs World. The promotion will run hour long shows featuring: Matt Hall argues with Person 1 Matt Hall vs Person 1 Matt Hall argues with Person 2 Matt Hall vs Person 2. Lets see what growth I can achieve in one year, running two shows a month. Edit - Actually 1 show most months, 2 would put me in debt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOmniWarrior Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Greg Gauge just nearly gave me a heart attack. First he said he wanted to pursue other options but then I tried again and he re-signed. Now that I know hes unstable (even though I know hes stably locked in the indies with his 3 contracts) I might have to take the title off of him.

If anyone says they want to explore other options, it pretty much means "Send me another negotiation and I will accept" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWF Fan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Something I've just realized works well, is to brand split your roster As long as their is no downside agreement, you theoretically could sign every $100 worker in the game, put maybe 3 into one brand and the rest into another and then do an event for the small brand with your worker involved too. Managed to get a $600 wage cost that way (3 wrestlers, ref, announcer, colour) Ran twice in a month and only lost $1200 on wages to the $4000 I got in sponsorship and nobody was unhappy.
