Prompt 1: What I like about PTs

One thing I like about PTs is thinking about how my player interacts with the fictional world of the SHL. the other players around me, etc. It causes me to think about the different interactions I have with users and I love taking the opportunity to includes others in my PTs when I feel that it fits. I love the idea of PTs having a theme that happens throughout the season where you can build on the story, while also having a backup generic option for when the creative juices are not flowing.

I do wish there were more offseason PTs, especially now with shorter seasons, I would love to see the opportunity for a little bit of consistent tpe to be earned during the slower times of the year as well. It would be great to see these PTs specifically relate to events happening during the offseason, such as international play or the offseason, big signings or big trades, etc.

I will answer for the first prompt.

Hey Dan! Glad to see you taking on the PT Director role! I understand that it might be considered a somewhat thankless job at times, but I have faith you'll provide some great prompts for the league!

Some of my favorite prompts in the past were definitely those that did concentrate specifically on the player. I know a lot of users do enjoy the roleplay aspect of the league tremendously, and I would say that I somewhat fit into that category, although I don't do that much writing about my player as I really should. Still, I love the prompts like this week's mPT, which allow us to help build our own characters and I guess subsequently building on the grand universe of the simulation hockey league universe. That being said, I also believe it's important to have prompts that discuss the main theme of this league; hockey!

So yeah, my two main wants are: Prompts related to our player as an individual, and prompts about hockey that may or may not link back to our player.

Normally I would write about the pucks in deep prompt mostly because this is a hockey sim league and I just find those easier to mulch out 150 words and call it a week. I think Slash did a pretty damn good job as PT Director, it's gotta be a thankless job sometimes where not everyone is going to be happy with the prompts. I think coming up with a two prompt system was a great move even though it probably means twice the work for you but that's what I appreciates about the league.

After two years on the site I won't lie, I do find PTs a bit of a chore and I think I even skipped one last season. I usually leave them to the last moment and am just not creative enough to do the more engaging prompts but I find myself reading a few and having some laughs. I look forward to seeing what you can do in the position!

My favorite PTs are the ones that are just absolutely off the wall silly. I don't enjoy so much the ones where you're basically just talking about the season or what you plan on doing, etc, but the ones that really make you think and the sillier you get with it, the better. One of my favorite ones we had recently was the jelly bean selection from the guy in the trench coat. It made no sense, had barely anything to do with hockey, but it was very fun to write and go through some of the replies. I'm also not a huge fan of the continuous prompts. I found myself not enjoying one of the prompts on the very first week when we were doing that, and because I didn't choose that prompt the first week, it didn't really make much sense for me to choose that continuous prompt for the remainder of the season.
