BigINMoldova Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Well a 50 in stamina did not turn out as well as I expected. I was visibly exhausted in a twelve minute match. My first show also put me Four thousand dollars in debt so I had to fire a couple guys. Finding people who are good enough to be on my shows and cost less then six or seven hundred bucks seems impossible to me. At least in the Real World Mods.

defizzle Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Forgot to update after year 2 because I got an amazing offer from HGC, a up and coming cult company, which I got to national in record time (thanks to a budget of 60+ mil and starting a network). Gave myself a Jesus push and got an A* at a TV show and I thought now it's gonna be easy, well not.. I didn't get an A* for the rest of the '99, that is until our December PPV, on the last day of the year: It was a hard year.. for SWF, we're on a rampage, raiding everyone with a int of starquality so they'll lose the National Battles which they did around September. We even made their show worse by sniping all their top staff as well, they're even without a good announcer right now. With the TV station with Enormous coverage in USA and Canada, Big in Mexico, Medium in Japan, and Tiny in the UK, we're well on our way to International size.

crackerjack Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 About 2 years into a 1994 rtg, best run so far. Company is teasing going cult after i bought out NWA:NJ. Now debating whether or not to aggressively push towards cult and try to buy out and absorb ecw, or wait it out. I have 1,500,000 in the bank, so i’ll think i’ll push it. My rtg is developing nicely in performance and entertainment skills, but is struggling physcially (outside stamina) and in star quality/sex appeal/menace. Any tips from anyone on getting those stats up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can increase size, which usually leads to SQ gain, and sometimes you'll get random body type changes (which from flabby would almost always be positive). Otherwise, allow steroids backstage (unclear from the rules if this is voluntary or not as one of the rolls forces you to do it; then again I think the rolls are an optional addition to the challenge) and increase size.</p><p> </p><p> I've gone through a few years of game time in several RTG challenges; sometimes you cap out in the 70s, sometimes you grow naturally well into the 90s.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigINMoldova Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Year 4 and my progress has slowed considerably. TVerse has awful broadcasters for cult so it's a slog to national.

franticloser Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Forgot to mention I'm playing the September 95 mod. In Jan. of 1996 ECCW opened it's doors and I jumped ship to get to company not in debt. been running a couple months now slowly building up popularity. Going with the slow burn of a show a month at local, as I feel it's more realistic. Seeing some nice gains in psychology right now that I'm quite happy with.

BigINMoldova Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Weirdest development so far is that my character somehow learned spanish.

My company is in the southwest and I am strong friends with Richie Santana Jr. but otherwise I have no clue how I learned spanish. That's odd, I'm doing this same challenge and my user character apparently also speaks Spanish. I run shows in the Tri State, and don't have any other Spanish speakers on my roster, so I have no idea how that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon The GOAT Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Decided to start a RTG. This is after 2 shows. I'm based in Ontario with the TCW product but Mainstream is turned down a notch, womens wrestling is integrated, and face/heel divide is off. I thought it was 0/0/0/0 so I didn't give myself $1K. Oh, well. I signed Hawkeye Calhoun & Glorious Gloria to start for $110 & $140. Brought in Gregory Chapman for $180. Nathan Coleman is in TD and our owner, currently working for free. I botched and hurt Hawkeye on the first show so he hates me and missed our second event. Whoever isn't wrestling is usually our road agent. We'll bring in Reese Paige as our Road Agent when we can manage a 700$ profit on the month. We actually made a $279 profit after February so that's great. I don't want to spam shows, so I'll be taking it slow. Monthly events for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
