3. Written, 3 TPE, It Gets the People Going! (150 words min.)

There’s been some great Stanley Cup Playoff marketing campaigns over the years. Lots of us probably know the “Because it’s the Cup” series of commercials, for example. Well for the S66 playoffs we’ve really turned on the money faucet and we want YOU to give us the next great playoff ad campaign. Tell me how you’d go about promoting the S66 SHL playoffs in a way that will have people talking about it for years to come.

The commercial opens with a shot of a striking green tree frog slurping up a wandering fly in what appears to be a dark cave. The camera then zooms out to show that the surroundings were not a cave at all, but in fact the gaping jaws of a bull alligator. The jaws snap shut and we hear a remorseful ribbit muffled by the jaws before the alligator shuffles off into some brush (the camera has now zoomed out far enough to reveal a lush swamp setting). After a brief still shot of the bush, we hear a loud crunching sound before a motherfucking T-Rex emerges like a bat out of hell, the now extremely dead alligator lodged between its dino jaws. It takes roughly 5 steps towards the camera before an absolutely massive foot crushes it in one fell swoop, causes dino blood to spurt all over the greenery. the camera zooms way out to reveal a massive creature that is legally distinct from Godzilla. The screen fades to black with one sentence taking center stage: "Micool won the cup.". After a moment the SHL logo appears and the commercial ends. (192 words)

16. Written, 2 TPE, Top Line (100 words min.)

Create the best line you can using real life or SHL hockey players from your player’s home country. Give me 3F, 2D and a G– and a short description of why you chose who you did!

Well, Kezia is from Canada, which makes it a little unfair for this kind of prompt. So, in the interest of fairness, i will give what is the most objectively amazing lineup that could ever be concocted in the fires of hockey hell. Don't roast me, this absolutely scorching lineup has absolutely no underlying connection that has anything to do with any preferred hockey team (although if it did, it would probably be absolutely fire, just red hot.). For real though, this is unbiased, so please don't direct any heat my way. Calgary Flames.

Huberdeau - Kadri - Iginla

Giordano - Macinnis

17. Written, 3 TPE, Home Town (150 words min.)

In seasons past I’ve asked about your favourite foods or favourite things about your home country, now let’s get even more specific! Where specifically are you from in your country, and what do you like about it? Tell me some fun facts about your players home town and the kinds of places that you liked to go growing up!

Me and Kezia are both from central Alberta, raised in Three Hills to be specific although that place is a shitty conservative bible belt hellhole so the less said about it the better. I've lived all over this province though, and even with it's (rightfully earned) reputation as the 'south' of Canada, there's still a lot of very cool people and places here. For instance, there's a small town called Hanna which is roughly half an hour from where i grew up. Despite having a meager population of only 2,559 (2016), It has multiple claims to fame - most significantly being the starting place of the massively commercially successful rock band Nickleback, as well as the hometown Flames/Rockies(lmao)/Leafs legend Lanny MacDonald. No matter how you feel about Nickleback, I've never heard someone say a bad word about Lanny so i think it's pretty neat. Overall Alberta is kinda lame but there's some bright spots if you really look! (159 words)

18. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.)

Congratulations, procrastinator!  Through your terrible time management skills, you’ve unlocked a special task! [TEAM] has won it all! Were the playoffs as you expected this year, or were there some surprises? Did anything stand out to you about this season’s final series? Did the engine switch make a difference for you?

Atlanta won and it's just as was expected. I'm totally not biased due to being a prospect in their system, no sir. It was quite obvious to anyone with functioning eyes that the best team in the entire league (in any sim league, really) was gonna take home the cup. FHM8 sure is an interesting engine. my player got arguably slightly worse with the engine change so I'm not gonna pretend like I'm happy about that, but watching the sims play out on an actual ice surface is kinda fun i guess. I didn't watch the SHL playoffs at all tho so i can't comment on it in relation to the UNDISPUTED Atlanta cup victory in the S66 finals. (119 words)
