4. Written, 3 TPE, Playoffs Shmayoffs (150 words min.)

Write about a time you didn't make the playoffs, and what you did to take your mind off it! Did you expect to miss the playoffs when it happened? Was it a shock? How did you take it? If you've never been on a team that missed the playoffs, tell me about an early exit you made instead.

I missed the playoffs literally this season, season 69 (sixty nine) of the simulation hockey league. Did I expect to miss the playoffs? I suppose I did as after I was traded to Toronto people pitied me, and I did not understand why. How did I take my mind off of it you make ask? (the prompt is asking). Well it is quite elementary my friend. The answer is that I have not been paying any attention to the games we have won or lost in about 5 seasons now, so it was quite easy to not have to think about. I randomly checked the league one day and it happened to be the last sim of the reg season. At the time I thought, wow that was pretty lucky that I did not forget to submit my playoff predications, but I would have received a reminder to submit them anyway. Maybe next season we will make the playoffs.

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!

I think this is a pretty silly question. I mean the team is called the forge, not the magma monsters. The prompt should instead be an enormous god bear with rays of light vs a literally forge. Maybe even a foundry if you want to be so unspecific about it. No idea where this magma monster with a hammer comes into play. Saying that, I'm taking the magma monster either way. Hammers are pretty cool and this dude can do some serious damage with that. The only way the hammer guy would not win was if the hammer was like a regular person, home depot, unspecified hardware store, ubiquitous type of hammer. A huge magma guy carrying a hammer thats even small in my hands, no way he wins again a bear that can shoot out rays of lights from every orifice, and I mean EVERY orifice. Who am I to say though, maybe the hammer surprises me.

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.

It was very poor
Next season will be better
Else I will retire

Code:
7. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 7 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

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? Is it exciting to have two completely new teams meet in the finals? What did you like or not like about this season?

Congrats to Philly! What a team! I had to ask in the atlanta discord who won to confirm because I thought winnipeg won because I have not watched a sim since S59, and not kept up with the playoffs since I left Atlanta. It was cool that there were two new teams meeting up in the finals. It would have been much cooler if I was on one of those teams though. Regardless @Gwdjohnson won, and we can all come together to agree what a travesty that is. Next thing we'll see is Philly becoming the next Hamilton dynasty. Yuck. Couple extra words just for good measure.
