4. 3 TPE You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

Movie about Björn Leppänen's career starts in Finland, looking back at some old footage from Finnish junior league and Kummolacup where Björn earned his 2 season ban from hockey. But he used that time and determination to push himself to new role and to new level which he eventually started reaching when he moved to Vancouver for his short SMJHL career. When focus is on struggles of Vancouver and Björn there with them as their top defenseman special scene would need to be had for his first playoffs game where he got thrown out after 18 seconds.

After that he moved to Texas where first seasons were hard on him and the team but as he was pushing to become even better so did the team. After some heath breaking playoffs losses there was a season when he had hope, Renegades had won Presidents trophy and were facing Hamilton on third round. They were pushed down to 3-1 but managed to force game 7 yet time wasn't yet for them to make further but next season they go all the way. What a perfect ending for a movie but as it should be filmed with Finnish crew we need to bring it to this day and see Björn once again suffer crushing defeat in hands of Hamilton.

13) 3 TPE There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.

Parity is fine because we are at the top. (about 150 words)

For real though I have stated to think that FHM doesn't actually work too well with how we run the league and build in randomness is too low for our purposes too. Even if you mix things up and Toronto would have ended beating Buffalo in S58 it still only adds one team to the mix. And Im not saying you shoulnd't want to reward building good teams and good coaching but FHM seems to give those aspects bit too much power for player league partially because I expect that game designer didn't expect it to be used for purpose like this and having such a freedom with player builds.

But honestly I doubt we can increase randomness of the engine, we can add some limits or such to make it bit trickier to build towards optimal goal but I feel solutions like that only move goalpost bit further making it still a engine to be solved and difference between teams likely would still stay around the same levels.

And now I noticed the word parody there so just read first line multiple times.
