The Purge is a concept where typically illegal things (e.g., robbery, murder) are legalized for one day. In an SHL-purge, there's a game day where everything typically illegal to do on the ice is now legal. No rules for sticks or pads, no penalties, no icing, etc. What will your player do on the ice to make the most of this and gain a competitive advantage?

This opens up for a lot of possibilities but I think there are a lot of more fun things that can be done instead of murdering all the opponents. Now, my first suggestion is bringing a flamethrower onto the ice, which definitely sounds like I am actually going for the hunt (combine this with the eat another player and they'll be cooked on ice and ready to be served) but in actuallity I just want to melt the ice. I think the uselessness of players on skates will be fun to see. The game is going to be chaos in itself because since nothing is illegal on ice, why not just bring out the entire team on ice, move the nets or just kidnap the opposing goaltender? A lot of ideas, but I think Granström for except using the flamethrower will just take a chance at some fights, fair fights, as fair as they can be during this chaos. Maybe even just not care about the hockey because it's going to be absolutely crazy. How about having a massive keg of beer and just drinking the game away. I am sure it would be appreciated by some other players at least.

12. Written, up to 4 TPE - Pick up to 4 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.

c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.

b. The fact that this is a question surprises me. Texas has reached the finals for the first time since almost 15 seasons ago while Buffalo's latest appearances has ended with finals losses. Buffalo does not want to be known as that final team that never takes the cup. Texas has no pressure because they are not expected to be that super team that wins all finals, they are just now reaching that top tier team peak and will go into this with optimism unlike Buffalo Stampede.

c. What I first want to deal with is the logo - name combo. Texas Renegades combined with a renegade and then Buffalo Stampede combined with a... Buffalo? To be honest, I do like Buffalo's but the logo is very unclear and the name Stampede has it's relevance for sure but it has never gripped me. Why not Buffalo Buffalos? Texas does not have a super great branding but I definitely prefer their branding to Buffalo. The black goes great with the renegade theme while the green and yellow for Buffalo again raises the question of what do these colors have to do with a stampede. Sorry Buffalo, I am team Texas in the branding war.

16. hotdog's secret bonus weird prompt. Written, 2 TPE (100 words min.)

If worst came to worst and the situation were dire....... you need nutrition....... you must consume your peers. If you had to eat another SHL player, who would you eat and why? (sorry in advance Julio)

My mind obviously wandered to some users, first thought was to eat Luke because eat the rich and all that. Eating hotdog was also a fairly obvious one. Players however are a choice that is much more difficult. However, I think I have my conclusion. There are a few animals having joined the league and that is a better bet than eating human flesh for sure, but I think the one thing I was overlooking most of all is that all players are not human or animal. We also have our very own alien playing. Now it might not be great for interplanetary relations, but if I am starving I will without a doubt take the opportunity that has been given to me to eat a being from another place in the cosmos. My choice for nutrition is Narboza Manyhands.
