Quote:5. Written, 3 TPE, Fire and Light (150 words min)
Last season I loved the anthropormorphic boats vs. bulls question because people came up with some really fun answers to read, so I'm going to ask it again with the Forge and the Aurora, even though these teams' have less concrete branding. Tell me who wins in a fight: an enormous god bear made of colourful rays of light, or a massive magma monster with a giant hammer. The arena and the rules of the fight can be whatever you desire. Get creative!

So the choice is between "an enormous god bear made of colourful rays of light" and "a massive magma monster with a giant hammer" and I get to choose the setting? No matter where, it all ends the same. It is in the description. A literal "God" bear versus a monster. Not even close to the same power levels. A monster is at most a category 3 beast. A literal god bear made of light? That is an S-tier level so like a category 5. Hell, the "monster" doesn't even have a name, just some generic term to call what others might refer to as a blob or creature with a cute over-sized building tool.

You put the fight on the ground. Bear shreds monster. You put the fight in the air. Bear made out of light, no biggie. Bear wins. You put the fight under the water. Again, bear made out of light. Water has no effect, Bear mauls.

It's a bear made of light that is a god. Easy money.

Quote:6. Written, 2 TPE, Haiku Highlights  (5 words min.)
Rather than giving you a task where you do something boring like "write about your season" using things like "sentences and punctuation" I figured I could instead ask you to write a haiku about how your season went! A haiku is a three line poem where the first line is five syllables, the second is seven, and the third line is five again.

Season sixty-nine!
The games were a lot of fun.
Until the finals.

Quote:20. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Seige Engine (150 words min.)
We all know what a seige engine is, and we all have a favourite one! If you had to design a seige engine based on your team's branding, what would it be? What would that seige weapon do? What would it look like? What are its advantages? As a graphic option, you can depict what it would look like in action!

I mean, I feel like I am going bear crazy here with my champions week responses. I think it is obvious that the Winnipeg Aurora siege engine would be a... wait for it... a bear.

At first we would try using a real bear and see how that works. First we would have to somehow purchase one, I'm sure Rashford will be hard at work on the phones looking for a circus who is looking to offload a one. While Rashford is on the phone, Jess would be in charge of creating a bear enclosure of some sort. Ace can't be trusted with contractors so he is in charge of finding a trainer to teach the bear how to maul... doors? What are we exactly attacking in this scenario? Are we trying to break into an opposing arena? Or are we magically transported to the mid-evil times and we are raiding a castle?

At any rate, I'm sure the bear would probably end up attacking myself or sublime after we are ordered to try and put a uniform on the bear so this is probably not the best idea in the end.

Quote:21. Written / Graphic, 3 TPE, Startup (150 words min.)
Some out-of-their-mind venture capitalist gave you an insane amount of money to start your own hockey related business. What is it, and why do you want to start it? What need does it address? Does anything else like it exist? As a graphic option, create a very corporate looking power-point slide that pitches your busines to hyper business minded people.

If I had a substantial influx of cash from an investor to start my own hockey related business, I would definitely choose to start a revolutionary new hockey academy. It would house not only ice-hockey players but also eHockey players as well. It would be a shared experience between the athletes and gamers where they could converse and talk strategies.
That way the players who are practicing and training on/off the ice can play some video games to relax and the gamers who are practicing all day gaming, can go out and spend time in the gym and on the ice for relaxation. It is a win-win set up.
I would start my first Academy in New York because that seems like it would have the substantial population to ensure the success of the business. The facilities would have 2 ice-rinks to ensure enough ice as well as a massive LAN room with the top of the line software and gaming rigs.
Also there will be professional chefs who will ensure that athletes and gamers alike are eating properly. Gaming is no different than sports, eating well ensures that your reflexes and thinking are at peak levels and stuffing your face with salt and sugar isn't going to help.

Quote:22. Written, 2 TPE, Hope and Hapiness (100 words min.)
I've asked this before, but since it may be my final time writing CW, I wanted to ask it again. It was one of my favourite questions to read responses to. Tell me something that happened recently that you enjoyed, something that brings you happiness, or something you have hope for in the future. It could be a huge thing like buying a house or a small thing like having fun with your lockerroom this season. I just want to give you a chance to write down something positive.

My dog isn't a fan of walking in the snow, or the cold in general. Even when he is all bundled up, he does his business and then gets inside the warm house as fast as possible. We've had a pretty snowy winter this year and Sprite (my little buddy) hasn't been able to go for a walk for months. Probably since last November. This week it warmed up for 2 days, enough for him to want to go for a walk. So we were able to go for a tour around the neighbourhood for the first time in 2023 and sniff every pole, post, and flower. All-in-all, it was a pretty good week.
