3. Written, 3 TPE, New Year New Me (150 words min.)

What is your player's New Years resolution? What aspect of their game do they want to work on in S69 to help them reach the finals next season? If they did make the finals this season, is it because of something they resolved to work on last season? If so, then what's next?

Walton Stromberg’s New Years resolution to help the team make the finals as soon as possible would probably be to retire. The road from a 15-47-4 season to making the finals is pretty long and Walton is already approaching the end of his career, so realistically speaking it does not look like a great fit. Another good resolution would be to be a better mentor for the young players. Rebuilding always involves a lot of losing and growing pains, but getting beat up for too long might leave a mark and make it harder to learn to win. So as an older player, Walton should be showing a good example: how to prepare for games, how to be consistent and reliable shift after shift, and how to take care of your mind and body between games. So just generally to show how a pro player should be. But of course, if it happens that Walton ends up finishing his career for a different team, who knows, the team might be in a different situation and then a better resolution would be to keep fighting hard against aging.

Police wasn't a fan of the placing of this jacuzzi on wheels.

13. Graphic, 1 TPE, crAIyon? More like CWaiyon!

In the spirit of the insanely easy ring task that stayed around forever, we can keep running this one! Try using OpenAI’s DALL E Mini (now known as crAIyon) to generate a Challenge Cup related image. It could be a championship ring, your player lifting the cup, a locker room celebration. Go nuts as long as you’re attempting to make it SHL related! The results will be weird, but it’s fun!  https://www.craiyon.com/

“Challenge Cup championship ring on Walton Stromberg’s finger”. The AI is so smart that it realized it requires at least a couple severed off fingers to get there.

21. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Animated Movie (150 words min.)

Your team's marketing department just got an enormous budget to make an animated feature film about your team's mascot. Write me a short overview of movie. What does it look like? What happens? Who voices the characters? As a graphic option, show me a still frame from that movie!

The movie will be a sort of an origin story of a San Francisco Pride mascot, called…. (drumroll) …Pridezilla! It’s partly a dragon (hence the “zilla”) and partly a lion (from the logo). The story of Pridezilla begins with a shot of a box floating under the Golden Gate bridge. A fisherman approaches the box and we see a bearded, homeless-looking fisherman with a lion tattoo on his arm pick the box up to his boat. He takes it to his self-made cottage in the woods, opens it up and finds a tiny baby Pridezilla sleeping. The man turns out to be a local loner, and from that moment on the man takes care of Pridezilla. The man used to be a hockey player, but a brutal injury cut his career short. That’s why he loves and hates hockey. He realizes that Pride, the local team doesn’t have a mascot, and he sees how good of a fit it would be. He teaches Pridezilla everything about hockey and Pridezilla grows to also love SFP. Once Pridezilla has grown to his full size, the loner calls up Pride management and arranges a meeting on the Golden Gate bridge, right on top of where the box was found. The movie ends with Pridezilla shaking the Pride GM’s hand to introduce himself. He goes “Hi, nice to meet you! My name is… dad, what’s my name?” and the loner answers “You’re Pridezilla.” Everyone smiles and credits start rolling.
