they get their chance during the normal games. signficant pbp's like these should be done by somebody who has proven they can do it.

honestly i hate pbp's but i think that's fair.

There aren't "normal" games anymore. Just SHL/SMJHL finals and the gold medal game. If anything, this is the normal game and the challenge cup finals should have to be earned, but the ratio is way too wonky for that.

fair enough. i just think based on past experience sometimes you just need an dictator kind of guy to just decide tedious stuff like this. i don't think many people would be opposed veto'ing confusion's win.

As ideal as it is to preach inclusivity... go and read that PBP, and ask yourself if it's really up to the standards we want for a championship deciding game.

PBPs are only worthwhile or interesting if they're going to people who are going to serious effort with them.

So just fuck everybody, right? How are people supposed to prove they are good at them if they don't get a chance?

If you want to blacklist certain users who are given that opportunity and squander it, fine. But to outright eliminate a large section of the interested user base for one bad egg is a knee-jerk overreaction.
We're not proposing a "fuck everyone" solution (i.e. a whitelist). We set a designated standard of what level of effort and polish we actually want to see in a PBP, and if you do a PBP and clearly don't meet it, you don't get asked back.

I'm not entirely sure that is the original proposal, since Izzy hasn't responded other than to quote people and I straight-up asked *what* his proposal was. But I can live with this. I don't love it, but I can live with it.

EDIT: With that said, there used to be a standard. It was whether or not you got a bonus. People who got them were encouraged to continue doing PbPs. People who didn't took the hint and fucked off.

Hi Zach,

I really don’t want to start cherry picking portions of my thoughts on the topic because we’ll end up debating little pieces of the big picture and that usually ends up in 5 pages of posts that do not represent the premise of the idea. If you can please reread my first post.... that says everything I want to put forth on the topic.

Fair enough. It seems kind of odd that you would be intentionally vague on your proposal while also kinda working in a shot at IIHF HO that they would never sign off on the proposal you didn't make, but c'est la vie.

Fun fact, by the way. Autocorrect REALLY hates c'est la vie.
