Yeah no I get it, and I don't think it's very significant either. Plus you guys gave me solid reasoning for it not needing a change. If more media was being put out in general the Potato wouldn't really be taking up as much space in comparison; this seems to be more of an isolated situation where a lot of Potato articles came out together at a time where there was a lull in media. Makes sense :-) Keep doing what you guys are doing and praise be to the Potato

How is the potato served, though? This is important.

I'm gonna start a cold potato article series

uhh · 10-31-2019, 07:40 AM

I don't usually read them but I don't mind having them there

***luke*** · 10-31-2019, 09:38 AM

Dont mind them, I think that there is less media in general right now so it looks like its cluttering, but in reality I think tahts because there hasnt been a ton of media outside of it.

As an SHL grader, this already exists. We can give up to a 1.5x bonus for articles that we feel go above and beyond or show significant quality and work effort

Yeah in general I'm just all for rewarding effort and creativity handsomely to encourage better quality articles rather than a simple spewing out of words to get training for a week or two.

I think this is the problem too. The hot potatoes are fun enough. My main issue with them is they ignore goalie interference and goalie slashing as valid ways of getting the potato. (although likely that would cause a goalie to get stuck with it..)

I know this is mostly in jest, but one thing that has always irrationally bothered me with Simon T is you can't see who "drew" penalties, so there'd be no way to prove if the goalie slashed the potato holder (or if a skater cross-checked them, etc.)
