In your opinion, which team is has performed a successful rebuild and built a legacy around starting from the bottom? What constitutes a successful rebuild? Cups? Playoff appearances? Is this team still poised to do great things in the future?

Hi, I play for Tampa. It's Tampa. We went from cup finals in S50 to blowing it up a few seasons later after we swapped to FHM, literally having an 0-50 season, and now for the last 4 or so seasons we've been consistently in the playoffs and imo we are legitimate contenders for the future to come. I don't think a successful rebuild has to result in cups absolutely. I think the important part is that you are legitimate contenders and that you are consistently making the playoffs and not having disappointing results. I guess to some people that anything less than a cup win is going to constitute a failure but not to me. Sometimes other teams get a bit of luck on their side, sometimes you just didn't have all the right pieces to win that year. But if you are a legitimate threat and contender to win that cup, your rebuild was successful.

Quote:15. Written, 2 TPE, The yearly IIHF task (100 words min.)
Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC if you care about that more. Will there be surprises? Will any players make their country proud? Who's gonna suck? Be bold!

I am on team Great Britain so I am predicting that team Great Britain will do great things and very much possibly even win the entire IIHF tournament. I think that Great Britain has a lot of great players such as myself, James Ronlain of course, and I have absolute trust in our great leader of Great Britain PremierBromanov to lead us to victory. As for who I think will not perform well, I'm not sure as I don't really follow the IIHF tournaments all that closely. I couldn't even tell you who is on what team really. USA gonna finish last tho.

Well it happened. A general strike by the goalie union led to a mass retirement of goalies and now ALL of them have either quit the site (based) or recreated as a skater. HO has implemented a bot goalie system, but decided goalies were too underpowered and gave the goalies 20 in every stat, even the mental ones we can't upgrade. How does the season play out now that goalies are gods (godbots?) among men. Does anything really change?

I mean I think we all more or less know how this one would go right? Goalie TPE doesnt matter so even if they all had 20s in every stat goalies would still be the same. I mean honestly I dont even know how or why anyone plays goalie in the first place. But in all seriousness, I think it probably would have at least somewhat of an effect on the amount of goals per season. We'd probably see shot totals remain the same but see a sharp uptick in save% and a sharp downtick in shot%. I mean to be honest it very well could be a dead puck era for the SHL. Many games being decided by only one goal or goalies flat out stonewalling other teams and seeing shutouts all the time. I'd probably wager there would be only 2 or 3 goals a game as opposed to the insane totals we see these days.

If you're in another sim league and are using 4 of those CW tasks here, you can do this task to advertise that league in your CW. What league is it? Is it fun? How does it work? What are the pros/cons of that league, especially in comparison to the SHL?

I'm not using any tasks from another sim league in this CW but I would like to take this time to talk about the Pro Baseball Experience because it's a sim league I hold near and dear to my heart. It works more or less how I'd imagine any sim league does, PTs, money making, updates, etc. The big thing for me in the PBE is that the seasons are shorter and structured so you'll always know when things are happening. I feel like in the SHL a lot of things are a little more disorganized and that kinda irks me. Another great thing about the PBE is the actual simulation itself. You get to see the actual players moving and playing during a game instead of the FHM sim which can feel like a glorified play by play at times. The actual presentation of the live sims is really cool and makes you feel more like youre part of something when you can see your player physically.

Leviadan has made the grave mistake of becoming PT director. I'm already sapping his life source and joyful innocence (yum). How could you, as a user, also make his job unnecessarily difficult? Make media about his shit PT prompts? Write your submissions in Spanish?
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIS JOB HARDER YOU WILL BE BANNED

If I really wanted to make life hell for the PT director I would probably start making graphics for my PTs but put the absolute minimum amount of effor into them just to see what I can really get away with. I'm not very artistically inclined so these graphics would really be the bottom of the barrel here. Like you would be hard pressed to call these actual graphics but I would be trying my damndest to make sure they get counted for my TPE. If the graphics didnt get counted I'd plead my case for days on end trying to make sure I get my hard earned TPE.
