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?

Well, the biggest surprise to me was the fact that micool132 won the Cup. I remember micool from the S19 days in the SMJHL (I believe they were part of the Kelowna Knights). I don't think we spoke too much back then, but I do remember having pleasant interactions when we did. I'm really not present anymore around the site, aside from my team pages and PT threads so I have no idea who's in the league these days. So it was cool to know that a former S20 player is still around and winning the Cup! I've never won the Cup, so hopefully that can be me sometime in the future.

21. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Treasure Trove (150 words min.)

If you had to create an incredibly valuable object based on your team, what would it be? Think “the kind of thing that Indiana Jones would be trying to get his grimy little mitts on”. Give me a description and come up with some fun team brand related traps or tricks you could use to protect it from all those people with grimy little mitts. As a graphic task, show me what this object looks like, and depict some of its security around it.

The incredibly valuable item for the San Francisco Pride is a collection of sock puppets. But not just any sock puppets, these are the rejected sock puppets that never made it onto Mr. Rogers. The beloved childhood hero of many, Mr. Rogers is known for entertaining children with his happy personality, calm demeanor, and positive outlook on life. He also featured a segment called "Make Believe" which included puppets. Those that don't know will be surprised to find out that the puppets that made it on the television screen weren't the original puppets proposed. The initial puppets were a collection of animal sock puppets, which includes - you guessed it - a lion. Fortunately for the Pride, someone on the staff managed to buy the original puppet rejects. Now, the team makes it a tradition to have the new draftees put on a puppet show for young fans every season. It's a way of keeping Mr. Roger's message about being nice to your neighbours alive.

22. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Animal Rescue (150 words min.)

Your player has been asked to use some of their immense pro-athlete wealth to open up an animal rescue! Lucky for you, the type of animal was not specified, so it’s your call! What kind of animal does your player want to protect and why? Is it something you find cute? Something that actually needs help? Or do you just want a herd of llamas on hand to threaten your enemies with? As a graphic task, show me your player hard at work tending to whatever animals you’ve chosen.

A lot of SHL players are naming a lot of very interesting animals for this task. Unfortunately, Borje Samuelsson doesn't have a lot of money, so he can't go protect an extravagant species or anything. So, with that in mind, he's decided to help save the squirrels. Squirrels are a very unfortunate species, they are one of the most common victims of roadkill in the world. When Borje was just a wee lad, he saw a squirrel get run over by a school bus. Ever since that day, he's vowed to make a change when he has enough money to do so. Now he spends his offseasons in his basement trying to come up with ways to help make squirrels safer. He first thought of squirrel overpasses but thought that'd be too hard to implement. So he's decided to make little squirrel headlamps that can be easily put on any squirrel. Using that technology, hopefully people will stop and think "hey, what the heck is that" and avoid hitting squirrels in the process.

23. Written, 2 TPE, Dreams (100 words min.)

Sticking with the “last prompt is just letting people write about themselves” idea, here we go! I’m curious to know what sort of things you hope for in the world! What are your dreams? Maybe that’s a dream job, a dream house, an opportunity for your kids. I don’t know! Whatever you want to write about. What do you hope for in the future?

A unique prompt I can get behind. My dream is to be an ecologist, I had previously worked as one but unfortunately my contract ended. However, I aspire to get back into the field. My motivating factor to work that job is because I've really enjoyed being in nature throughout my life. I think it's a great thing to be able to experience. Unfortunately with all of the developments coming up and climate change, we may not be able to experience nature in the same capacity in the future. I'd like to help slow down or even reverse the effects of climate change and help allow future generations to be able to experience nature as I have.
