4. Written, 3 TPE, Do You Touch It? (150 words min.)

In the NHL there’s a well known superstition that any team that touches their conference championship trophy won’t win the Stanley Cup. Are there any superstitions like that in the SHL playoffs? If so, what are they? Where do they come from? Does your team or your player believe in them? Why or why not?

Just like any professional sports league, the SHL has its superstitions. One longstanding playoff tradition amongst the older guard of players in the SHL is to stay in a hotel even for home game days. Veteran players will swear by this practice, saying how it keeps them in a solid routine and mentally focuses them on the task at hand, which is of course to contend for the challenge cup. This is definitely a tradition that is slightly falling out of fashion with younger players across the board, however on teams with tightly structured locker rooms and veteran leadership, every member of the team might follow suit with the tradition and book themself into a hotel in their home city. The knowledge of which team or which players began this time honored tradition, but it perseveres in the SHL to this day thanks to the superstitions that can run rampant in the heads of professional hockey players.

6. Written, 3 TPE, New Stat (150 words min.)

I work for the FHM dev team and I’m giving you, sweet user, the ability to add any stat you want to our player build system. Footwork? Sure! Stink level? Why not! Stomach capacity? Ok… I guess so! Tell me what stat you want to add, and how you imagine it’ll affect the sim.

A mechanic/stat in FHM that i think would be really cool (although tough to implement) would be some sort of "Emotion" stat. tons of little things could effect the number, and a players stats such as aggression or discipline would effect the results of the emotion number at various thresholds. Outcomes could include things such as causing a fight, taking a bad penalty, and generally playing sloppy - if your stats were not well suited to playing with high emotions. if they were in fact suited for very passionate play, maybe it creates an intensity to your game, temporarily increasing stats to make your player more aggressive and have more stamina or something. it could carry over to different games against a rival that you have had high-tempered games against in the past. it would certainly be tough to implement in a way that makes people happy, but it's a fascinating concept!

19. Graphic, 3 TPE - The Procrastinator Special!

Congratulations, graphic loving procrastinator! Much like the written word loving procrastinator, you too have a special task just for you! Create a post-series splash screen detailing the outcome of the series, or highlighting the player that you think should be playoff MVP. Include at least 3 stats no matter which way you go with it!

23. Written, 2 TPE, How Are You? (100 words min.)

Instead of asking you about other people this season, I figured I’d ask about you! How are you feeling? Take a couple of minutes to write about what’s going on in your life and how you’re feeling lately. I think taking the time to write things down helps me appreciate or understand them better, so maybe this could help you! Or you can just rant about your cat annoying you for 100 words and collect 2 TPE. I guess that works too.

I wanna find a way to make myself enjoy writing, but i don't know how. I'm decent at it, i probably be really good at it if i did it more often, but i just can't stand doing it. i will literally do whatever i can to put it off for as long as i can every single time i have a writing assignment to do for school, or a TPE for the SHL too. I even bought myself a nice mechanical keyboard that has the perfect clicking sound for my ADHD brain and i still cannot make myself enjoy it. Sad times. (103 words)
