13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.)

BWOMP BWOMP BWOMP PARITY ALERT PARITY ALERT- Well, a new team in the finals since the mid s50s, it only took ten seasons. Is parity solved? Will new teams make it in as the old guard becomes a forgotten waste of brain space? Don't forget, Hamilton is here AGAIN. Yes we have new teams... but what if it's TEX HAM again next season? Is that even likely?

The question that seems to come back year after year. This feels like maybe the first time that there is some hope for parity. I say some because Hamilton is still there. Seems like they may never go away. However, Los Angeles has given other teams some hope.

Being a member of the Seattle Argonauts, I think there is a lot to be said about new teams rising. We may have made the biggest strides last season, and just seemed to get a bad break in the postseason, running into a red hot LA Panthers team.

I would be surprised if next season had the same matchup though. I think it is finally time that the Hamilton’s and Texas’ finally relinquish their crowns as there are a few other teams that are ready to take that mantle as the true powerhouses of this league. I may be biased (I obviously am), but I think that Seattle is at the top of that pile to make that next leap and strike fear into every other team in the SHL.

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?

Well, based on my answer to the parity question, I think my answer here will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone. The Seattle Argonauts started as an expansion team in Season 56. In the eight seasons in the league, they have finished in the bottom half of the league six times. However last season was far and away their best season ever. A lot of their players are coming into their prime, and they have some very exciting prospects joining the team this year.

This is a team that has done the rebuild (or more realistically, the build) right. Some fantastic drafting, great free agent signings and the timely trades makes Seattle a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see multiple individual award finalists when we sit here next season. I also wouldn’t be surprised at all if it is Seattle battling it out in the Challenge Cup Finals in Season 64.

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 will talk about the World Junior Championships. They have begun at this point, and even though the defending champion Team British Isles is not off to a great start, I feel like we can get all the way to the end. I love being the underdog and I love being doubted. We may not be the favorite and we may not be on top, but I pity the fool who thinks we will be an easy out. We will get into the knockout round, and I think that we will be able to get all the way to the end and defend out title. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

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

How can I make it harder for Leviadan to grade some of his new and cutting-edge PT tasks? (I want to be clear here, I won’t do anything to make the job harder…it is hard enough already). HOWEVER, that being said…the task suggested doing them in Spanish. That would be simple to grade! Google translate exists! I would do it in Pig Latin. There is no Google Translate for that!! It would be annoying enough for him to say icksnay on the igpay atinlay! Realistically, if anyone does this it is a dick move. Hope I didn’t give any trolls some ideas with this task!
