Your TNM-RG Ruleset Circuits
Psymin1 | Posted on 08/01/05 at 04:47:48 Hey, Well, since I can't figure out whats wrong with my Circuit History Plugin, I decided to take a look (again) at Rick Garrard's TNM-RG Circuit that is up on the web with an astonishing 520 cards. So, it made me wonder what everyone else has done using these awesome rules. 1. What is your longest running fed (TNM Years and Amount of Cards) using the ruleset? 2. What is your longest running fed period (Using no or another ruleset)? 3. What would you consider your most successful TNM RG fed? And the worst? And who were the starting wrestlers for both? 4. How many feds have you started using this ruleset? 5. From a person who feels they are usually successful using these rules, do you have any advice on how others could be successful at it (such as did you hire a new "m" wrestler every card, or barely any at all after the first card)? 6. What is your favorite ruleset you have ever used in the TNM7 world? 7. And finally, are any of these ciruits you have run using Ricks TNM-RG Rules online anywhere? Alright, well, that's that. You dont hafta reply if you don't want, it's just me being bored and curious. I know I, personally, have never had a circuit over like 10 cards...I have no idea why. I guess I just run out of ideas. But, I am running a circuit right now that is using Americanmusha's TNM Ruleset which I am at my 12th card and still loving the circuit, so I hope that one will take off and last a while. Alright, thanks for reading and for any responses I may get. ~Psymin |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/01/05 at 06:06:45 Well Psymin, since you so graciously asked, I will be the first to reply to this thread. 1. What is your longest running fed (TNM Years and The TNM-RG Memphis TV Studio circuit that online only has 520 cards posted, actually lasted another 52 cards to complete a whopping 11 sim years and 572 cards. 2. What is your longest running fed period (Using no orMy longest running was the first ever one I ran using TNM 6.2. I actually got TNM to roll into a second circuit with that one, which was also the purpose for doing the TNM-RG rules initially. 3. What would you consider your most successful TNM I've only really done one, and that was Memphis with the usual Memphis suspects. 4. How many feds have you started using this ruleset?If you consider the new "Wrestling at the Arena" circuit I am doing to be using TNM-RG, then I guess two, but in reality the new stuff is using a heavily modified version of the rule set, which I may reveal at a later date. 5. From a person who feels they are usually successful What I like to do is to maintain the same number of folks (6 I believe the rules stated) under a full contract at any given time, then everyone else is only extended with a minimum contract at best, if they wish to renew at all. Thusly, I like to keep a number double of the minimum contracts on the roster at any one time. So if the roster calls for a minimum 6 full contracts, then I keep another 6 on the roster and only use the "m" feature to bring in someone when that number falls below 6. 6. What is your favorite ruleset you have ever used inHmm... I'd have to say it's a toss up between Derek Thorell's PWWTNM rules, my Old School Rules, and the TNM-RG rules. PWWTNM because they were the original set. Old School because even if two people start with the same rosters, they will not end up in the same place with the rules set, even though some people may claim that. And TNM-RG, just for the sheer simplicity of the whole set. 7. And finally, are any of these ciruits you have runYou've seen TNM-Memphis already, and you can now catch "Wrestling at the Arena" (for which I will not be posting ANY background info for) on the forums. Thanks for this post Psymin. I enjoyed the questions. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/01/05 at 06:15:57 I think Rick knows my answers to these questions. *shakes an angry nubb in Rick's general direction* Damn you, arch nemesis... damn you... |
Psymin1 | Posted on 08/02/05 at 03:39:54 I hope you do decide to reveal the modified ruleset your using for "Wrestling at the Arena" because I am very interested in this circuit. I have read all four, and I hope to post some reply's to them in the near future. ~Psymin |
jesse_ewiak | Posted on 08/02/05 at 09:07:261. What is your longest running fed (TNM Years andI've got two running the same amount of time... Sin City Wrestling, which started with Jerry Lynn, Savage, Raven, RVD, and the Hardy Boyz as my main 'six' and has evovled into a 217 card circuit with Raven, Matt Hardy, andRVD surviving as the only surviving three and with stalwarts such as Double A, Ken Shamrock, Kevin Sullivan, Scott Norton, and a total of 111 wrestlers. Southern Star Wrestling, which started using the usual Memphis suspects, but ended after appx. 4 years w/ Super Delfin, Doug Williams, and Bret Hart as my top stats. 2. What is your longest running fed period (Using no or |
zackarcher | Posted on 08/02/05 at 23:13:59 I just started doing a ROH one with Critic of the Dawn's rules. I'm only on my second card but I plan on posting them once I get a nice backstock ready. |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/03/05 at 04:25:29Top 5...The late Derek Thorell was the MAN for creating these!!! 2. CotD Rules - Fluid enough not everyone will end up in the same place, but rigidenough to force you to make choices.Would you believe, I have yet to use this rules set, but know where I can find a copy when I finally decide it's time to do one. 3. Old School Rules - Same thing, not every circuit looks the same by card #25, even though they'll look similar the first couple cards.It takes 25 cards? ;) I thought it was more like the first 20... like right up to the WarGames card.. after that... all hell pretty much breaks loose as the user has to start making booking decisions. 4. TNM-RG, Only ruleset where I can do thirty cards in a couple of hour period.You ain't kiddin'! I know that it's pretty easy to knock out a LOT of cards using this set in rather short fashion. 5. Matt Harms TNA Ruleset - Becauseit perfectly captures the fuckedup nature of the 1st year of TNA's bookingWhat was wrong with TNA's first year of booking? {ducks objects hurled at his head} ;) |
MattyBlayze | Posted on 08/03/05 at 14:49:34 What exactly are these rule sets you've been talking about? |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/04/05 at 01:42:27 They are various sets of rules developed to help users of TNM make a circuit that lasts longer than the prototypical 10 or fewer cards. There are many different ones now. And all of them are unique in their own ways. Most of them are still readily available either at Josh Liller's site or by searching here on the forums. |
Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/04/05 at 09:23:24 Rick - do you think your new set could be implemented into software? In any case, when you do release it, please let us talk, preferably even before that point. Who knows... maybe some of this could be put into Build 4 as an option. |
Snabbit888 | Posted on 08/04/05 at 09:49:26 Ewww... Oliver has caught the rulset bug! *vomits* |
Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/04/05 at 15:28:32 Oliver - The "new" set is pretty much the old TNM-RG rules just changed so that contracts are using a 4 card multiplier in TweakCirc, so you that only have to hire someone for 13 cards for them to work an entire year's worth of shows for you. There's really nothing more or less to it than that. |
