Dallas sports are having a moment right now with the Mavericks on the precipice of reaching the NBA Finals and Stars two wins away from the Stanley Cup Finals. So I thought it would be dope to highlight OS user RepRevolt‘s multi-sport franchise playthrough going on right now.
There are tons of great playthroughs to read through on the forums, but I can’t say I’ve seen many where someone is playing through multiple sports games. Here is the conceit:
Who is REP Revolt? He’s a whiskey drinking, sports gaming loving husband and father. Basically he’s just like you and I. His favorite sports are basketball, football, soccer and baseball but not necessarily in that order. His life’s wish is to purchase season tickets for his beloved Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and FC Dallas but as of yet, he’s only been able to afford an occasional game ticket for FC Dallas. You could imagine his excitement when he won tickets to the Portland Timber vs FC Dallas Conference Finals match on November 12. As he was leaving for the match, his son who roots against anyone that REP cheers for said to him, “Dad if they win, you should by a lottery ticket because it would clearly be your lucky day.” Well FC Dallas won the game in 3-2 to make it to the championship. After the match, REP remembered his son’s words and laughed to himself. He then headed to the local convenience store and purchased a ticket.
REP Revolt’s life forever changed on the evening of Wednesday, November 15 when he went to scan his lottery ticket to discover not only did he have a winning ticket but the ONLY ticket. Overnight REP became a multi-billionaire winning the jackpot of $3.19 billion, they largest jackpot ever. As REP had been part of the lower economic class, he had always thought what he would do if he every came into money. It was never lost on him, how much money was made owning professional sports teams...
Part of the fun is reading about REP buying each of these teams throughout, except of course for the Cowboys. You probably need more than $3 billion to pull that one off, and so he sometimes either buys a minority stake or simply becomes the coach of some of the teams.
In general, what’s nice is that every update feels especially fresh because we bounce around so much and can see how various games are playing out. Check it out!
