A) I enjoy the off-ice PT's, as I feel that establishing backstory and character are some of the most immersive features of the site. They are a little more light-hearted and prone to being less interesting, but they invite the player to have fun and introduce some creativity. I understand that the "pick a stat" keeps things specific, hockey related, and do-able during a lunch break, its never exciting to scroll through and read other contributions unless you have a direct tie to what's been written. I do enjoy prompts about other players, or prompts where you have to tag other players because a user is much less likely to tag someone in a half-assed post. The tag requirements creates accountability and pushes the posters to be a little more interesting (lest they feel the shame of someone thinking "s/he tagged me in that boring post? ew." )
B) Love the graphic posts. it would be great if there were "primarily graphic" PT's. graphics take a while to put together and cant be easily done during lunch breaks, or at the office. if there were a PT that was primarily graphic and the written option was much much longer (to incentivize the graphic contributions), i think that is worth exploring. (ex: i have written 220 words in 6 minutes and have already met the PT requirements, but a cool image makes the PT thread much more interesting to scroll through. C) Most memorable PT was probably the TV show post. it involved multiple players, demanded creativity, and invited humor and pop culture references. It was very easy to scroll through everyone's ideas as they posted their clever thoughts. the "Naked and Afraid" PT and the "SHL channel" (i'll try to edit and link the posts if i get the time) fit this, and it was easy to type/illustrate(?) posts that were rewarding to your character, and interesting for others to interact with. I feel like if normal PT's had the effort bonuses of WFTs, it would be easier to get high interaction numbers with just mild PT ideas, as opposed to a great PT, which would invite the interaction on its own. D) Izzy has been full of great ideas, and his efforts have been a clear effort in improving the site. each of his contributions has moved the SHL in the right direction. |
