CREATIVE PROMPT

Slip McScruff has actually been involved in this league wide practice for his long career. When you first hit regression, you are brought into a secret meeting with your GM, your coach, and the rest of the regression class to be indoctrinated into the process. Every season, older players are required to submit to the skill beam for some scaling amount based on their age. It has to be discrete enough that no one suspects anything, but they really start to ratchet it up as you get older and older.

The real trick is feeding that skill back into the younger players once it has been harvested. There is a balance of skill in the universe and they only grow as the older players shrink. Slip's favorite method is actually the ice bath skill machine which can pull and push skill. It beams underwater and you never notice it because of the freezing cold. Young players come out of the bath feeling refreshed and energized, now you know why. For older players, the ice numbs the loss and they let you drink beer in there.
