Hi, guys. I like to think most of you probably know me by now but if you don't, I'm Mammoth; creator of the real world modifications for Total Extreme Wrestling known as "Territory Daze" and "Shifting Sands". I've also done a whole host of other things for the series but I don't think there's any doubt that they're what made me TEW-famous. My modifications are and ALWAYS WILL BE freeware and I do them because I enjoy doing them whilst simultaneously helping this fine community, but if you would like to "buy me a cup of tea" as it were, then head over to my Twitter account here to found out how. :)

I have been apart of the GDS community since the launch of 2016, although I have played every iteration of TEW and EWR. I decided to take my hand at modding this game. I am doing so with January Ruthless Aggression 2004. If anyone feels like they wanna give me a cup of coffee feel free and here's my email to do so.

I'm Historian/David. I'm a forum moderator for the TEW forums, a long time player of Adam Ryland and GDS games (I've played every Adam Ryland game released since EWDeluxe, I believe) and have played most of the GDS games (Fast Break College Basketball being a personal favorite).

 

I am also a diary/dynasty writer for TEW and have achieved some success there (I'm not going to link to them though!). I'm a teacher and a writer in my "real life"

 

I try to be pretty active here and if you have questions or anything you can always shoot me a PM. I try to be pretty responsive.

<p>I actually just started a thread in the Dog Pound related to this! Arlie stealing my idea just kidding maybe. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I won't copy and paste and try and write something a bit different.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I've been here since June of 2008, I have been playing Ryland games for 20 years or so, starting with EWD, I was so proud of finishing a full 20 year game of EWD (it forced you to retire then.) I tried to leverage it into an early release of EWR from Adam. I also did create my one and only mod for EWD, creating a WCW lives mod in 2001! Since joining I have slowly become more active and have always tried to be a positive at best, neutral at worst, voice here. I am always open to answering any questions you may have about the game, I am not an expert like some people here, but I have a pretty good grasp on how things run. I am also open to chatting or answering any question you may have outside of the game. I was a licensed minister for several years, and can give non-spiritual or spiritual advice to anyone who is needed someone to talk to.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Also I set up a Discord <a href="https://discord.gg/NKfX9s8" rel="external nofollow">here</a> for anyone who just needs a place to chat about anything, escape, and have some positive interactions.</p><p> </p><p>

Fixed Discord link to one that won't expire.</p>

Hey everyone, I am JaCeLo3/Jace. I am always a lurker on every game however majority of my time goes into Bowl Bound College Football and doing mods for that, and then I still LOVE the classic Extreme Warfare Revenge (EWR).

 

This year is the first year with TEW2020 coming out that I'll be making the jump into the TEW world. Just a tad bit more in depth than EWR...heh.

 

As a designer and developer in real life, I love doing graphic design/UI stuff, so eventually I will assist into the TEW realm as well, but love doing sports related things most of all.

 

Keep up the great work GDS!

Yo, FIN here. :p

 

I've been around here since 2005.. Now that is a long time. It feels weird even typing that. I'll probably reach 5,000 posts this year! I've been playing Adam's games from the very early versions of EWR/EWD all the way to TEW and WreSpi series.

 

Here at the forums I'm known for my alts for TEW and it's Cornellverse, alts which I've made hundreds of hundreds over the years as well as the .gif pack which I've made for TEW2016 and TEW2020. I've also been quite active on the TEW dynasty forums over the years, mainly booking Japanese promotions such as WEXXV and GCG. The diaries have sadly been quite brief yet well received.

 

I'm also an avid board gamer and I own a collection of almost a hundred board games. :)

Helloooooo everyone!

 

My name is Dalton if that wasn't obvious :p I am a huge fan of the TEW series and Ryland games as a whole. I went from EWR to TEW2005 to TEW2010 and every game since then. I also plan on trying out some of the other GDS titles soon (mainly Mafia Capo: Payback), just need to find some time. I've been a member here since 2011 but mostly lurked for the good part of the decade with very scant posts. It was only in October/November of 2019 that I really became an active member. I love talking about wrestling, and I am a big fan of AEW and NJPW mainly but I keep my eyes on a huge variety of companies. In addition to wrestling, I absolutely love baseball and (American) football! I was a college baseball player and that was the best time of my life.

 

I also enjoy talking to the community here and have had awesome PM conversations with a few people here that I believe have turned into real friendships. I tend to be positive and supportive on here at all times.

 

As for my real life (which I come here to avoid :p), I work as a restaurant manager and will also be starting graduate school in the fall in order to receive an MBA in Technology Management with a concentration in Accounting & Finance. Outside of that, there's nothing much to talk about!

 

Being a recent college grad, I think I'm a bit on the younger side of the members here :D My PMs are always open for anyone looking to talk about literally anything! The community here is wonderful and I welcome any new members with open arms!

Hi my name is forlan and i have been around since tew began and before that..i used to do the t-zone real world mods back in the day and released a popular 1993 mod back on tew2010

 

I am currently working on a 1997 mod which is originally based around the tew2016 1996 mod by burninghamster.

 

I am contactable by pm if anyone wants to speak about anything, ask advice or even just shoot the breeze.

 

I would prefer to always buy my own coffee or beer as any mod I make is primarily for my own enjoyment and I give it out to the community out of the goodness of my heart

 

Cheers

I’m the artist formerly known as TheLeviticalLawKid3. You may remember me from such films as “that one KANZEN dynasty I managed to write for multiple pages way back when” and “the incredibly long posts about my UPJ game in the ThunderVerse thread.”

 

I came on here when I bought 2010, had some fun through my college years with that particular game, then got back into TEW somewhat recently thanks to copious amounts of New Japan and AEW viewing. Not sure if I’ll pick up dynasty writing again, but we’ll see. Just waiting on the new ThunderVerse.

Hi everyone, I'm AyaneShadow. I've been viewing the message boards for the longest time till it's required now to register.

 

I'm a fan of Grey Dog Software in general, I'm really into WMMA 5 and only recently been tempted back to wrestling. I can't really remember the last TEW I played I think it was in 2005, so I'm interested in checking out what's changed in 2020.

 

I've even played Comic Book Hero (briefly though).

 

I will do my best to be as active as possible on the forums.

Hey, all. I'm MaximumZero, and I use that name pretty much wherever I go. I'm frequently on Reddit and a little less frequently on Bay12, the home of Dwarf Fortress. I'm a retired amateur/low-level indy kickboxer and cage fighter. I was active on the North East/New England (from Philly to Bangor, ME to DC,) touring scene from 2002-2008, and officially retired in 2010 due to injuries because I never turned down a fight and that eventually ground me (and my spine, knees, and hips,) into dust. I'll happily share my touring stories if you want, but I'll warn you that some of them are real doozies. For those keeping score, my in-cage record is 78-12-0-1, and I scored 66 KOs and 8 submissions. I never kept track of the various tournaments and other events I took place in, but my estimate for the total number of martial arts bouts I've been in is between 300-350, but that started way back in 1998 and continued until I could barely walk in 2010. Due to a combination of the damage I accumulated over this period, some unfortunate genetic issues, and a pretty nasty car crash, I've been disabled since Dec of 2018.

 

I'm a big fan of TEW and WMMA, and I've been a lurker here for a couple years now. Just bought 2020, and thought I may as well introduce myself, since I had to register anyway.

Hey everyone my real name is Dylan. I love making graphics and playing WMMA5/TEW20 as it relates to the boards. I also play some steam games, most notably Mount and Bland 2 Bannerlord, and the Total war Series. As well as Magic the Gathering. I have a discord Munit#9379 and always like to chat there if you ever need someone to talk to about anything :)

<p>Hey everyone!</p><p> </p><p>

I've been around GDS since 2007, though I'm not likely one of the most visible people on the board.</p><p> </p><p>

I've been modding or rendering for GDS games since I joined, with my Effganic mod concept dating back to TEW2008. I continue to do the modding and rendering thing and have recently released Effganic: Genesis for TEW2020. Honestly, I never thought my little mod was very popular, but apparently it found it's audience with the Discord crowd.</p><p> </p><p>

I've recently revealed that I'll be doing some expansion mods to Effganic: Genesis, and I am very excited about. </p><p> </p><p>

You can also see some of my renders in the various render threads for TEW, WMMA, and CBH.</p><p> </p><p>

If you are interested in giving my mod a try, you can access the official post <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=547388" rel="external nofollow">here</a> or head over to my <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/effganicgenesis/home" rel="external nofollow">dedicated site for it</a>. Please note that there are support links on the page, but all of my stuff has been, and will continue to be, free to use for everyone.</p>

<p>I'm Tryker, real name Caoimhe, but good luck pronouncing that for non-celts.</p><p> </p><p>

I've been playing since just towards the end of tew2013 and have been a lurker and occasional diary trier since then. I'm likely relatively young compared to a lot of members, being an undergraduate student earning a joint honours degree in English Lit and Human Development.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm always available to message to talk about anything from wrestling to video games to books to digimon!</p>

Yo, I'm Vyktory, aka NexxusDrako, aka sevestra, I've been playing TEW since 2009 with the freeware TEW05 and have bought/played every TEW since 2010, and most recognizably helped pioneer the organic mod scene post-2016 with Minimal Viable Product. I mostly lurk here in these forums, but that's mainly because I play a metric buttload of games and flitter between them like a hummingbird on a sugar rush. :p

 

I also stream occasionally on Twitch when IRL allows, my link is https://twitch.tv/VyktoryJaye (different from before due to rebranding and gender transition/mental health stuff)

MY PC updated but can't play TEW 2013

 

Hello,

 

My PC did a update last night and this morning, when I was going to continue playing TEW 2013, the section where you can raise or lower the scroll for match and angle types is gone. So, I can't set any time for segments and matches, also raise or lower money amounts. I uninstall and reinstall the game but still doesn't work. Can someone please tell me how to make the scroll reappear again to set match times, angle times, and money amounts?

 

Thanks

I've been a member of the TEW community since 2010 -- some of you might remember me by my old forum name, Waters, which I lost access to.

 

I'm an entrepreneur who mostly works in the digital marketing and eCommerce/physical product space. I sold my first digital marketing agency at 23 years old as part of a merger into one of the top 3 TV advertising agencies in North America. I was simultaneously the CEO of 2 companies, employing over 25 people.

 

I did all of that without ever graduating high school. 100% self taught. Started making money online when I was 11 years old and am an absolute expert at copywriting, web design and development, Photoshop, business optimization, and building scalable back-end processes inside of companies etc.

 

I moved to Florida and stepped away from both companies because I decided I did not want to spend my prime years of creative potential promoting random products.

 

I've also recorded with billboard producers and played guitar for 8 years. Nowadays all I really do is play TEW, watch wrestling, and record music. I'm only interested in passion projects and residual income at this point and would love to collaborate with people in the TEW community.

 

I'm still only 24 years old and have helped build 20+ companies to 7/8 figures, though I don't have income from any of them and was recently screwed over by my biz partners. I'm also big on crypto.

 

I have over 6 awards from my marketing and advertising work and 13+ certifications in tech and stuff like that.

 

P.S I'm working on creating a very complex tool for TEW that connects with the MDB database. I'm assuming it'll also be applicable for WMMA. I'm presently building it in Notion and the end goal is for it to allow you to track your storylines, plan your events and TV shows, manage brand splits, view detailed worker info, track W/L records and rankings, run and organize tournaments, run competitor analysis on your rivals, and track your own personal and owner goals in a more complete manner. IF anyone would like to see my progress on that or assist, feel free to DM me.

Hello! My name on the boards is Smasher, my real name is Rodrigo and my preferred name is Dawn! I live in the land of ruin and doom aka Brazil but am working on hopefully moving out of here with a few friends next year. I act for a living (currently undergoing the process to be recognized as a professional) and can't get a stable sidegig to save my life. I'm a quintessential Pisces and I lack a few social cues but I got lots of love to give. My DMs here or on Discord (Dawn#4444) are always open!

 

I started playing the series when I found out about EWR and TEW 2005 due to Orkut communities where folks used to write diaries. Been purchasing every game since TEW 2013, its release being when I joined the community. I'm not as avid a viewer of wrestling nowadays; my prime fandom was 2009-2016, where my knowledge best resides, though I have watched most of past WWF/E history as well so I'm also quite knowledgeable of the prior years. Mostly a WWE viewer though I try to give the other promotions a shot. None other than WCW on demand have really caught me for long stretches of time, though. Brian Pillman is my favorite wrestler of all-time, Jeff Hardy/John Morrison current favorites. Demolition is my favorite tag team of all-time, hence the Smasher nick.

 

Other interests...big basketball (Lakers/Timberwolves and Sparks/Storm) fan, biggest Disney shill you'll ever meet, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, comic book, anything you can think of fan, gamer on the side. Just an overall nerd.

 

You may also know me for never being able to stick with a diary in this place due to not being ready to stick with long term planning/writing at the time and/or suffering from many technical issues with my laptops being known not to cooperate a lot with me. :p Thankfully, I've since grown apart from all these issues and learned to be a better long term planner. My last diary here that died 3-4 years ago has been revived in the unofficial GDS discord and it's lasted nearly two in-game years, by far my longest diary yet and well on its way to meeting the arc's finale. I will bring it back here to the boards soon enough, hopefully.

Hello! I recently discovered this community after acquiring a couple of the older titles on Steam. (I put 40 hours into WS3 in the first two weeks of ownership.) It's really cool to see this is a long running and tight knit community!

In real life, I have a wife and three children and I have been an IT professional for 8 years. I'm a fan of pro-wrestling, particularly impact wrestling. 

I'm interested in working on small attainable mod projects for legacy games. If someone wanders into a copy of TEW2010 for example, I want there to be some kind of mod for them to play with ready to go. 

I'm currently working on a mod for WS3 "Slobber-Knocker Sandbox Mod"
https://forum.greydogsoftware.com/topic/54671-slobber-knocker-sandbox-mod/#comment-1437677

I have also received permission to take over as the lead developer for an abandoned DC Universe mod for Comic Book Hero: The Greatest Cape. That has not yet been posted on these forums, but its a slick mod and I'm going to touch it up and make sure it survives. [EDIT: That mod is posted here.]

Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to hanging out!
