1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.

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

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write about your team's candidate for last man in instead.)

The teammate that made it into the all star team is Sophie Bordeleau. This is her fifth time in the All star game so it is quite common practice for her. And since she is the best player on Calgary Dragons by far it is common knowledge that she’ll be the participant from our team. And she even had her best season ever point wise so it is a no brainer. In the 66 games she played she managed to score 38 goals and assist 55 times. For a total of 93 points on a bottom scraping team. That is impressive. Her +/- of -32 is the only negative stat to talk about in her entire career. Average time on ice of 23:52. No fights. A 55.9% win rate on faceoffs. 49 blocked shots and 40 minutes in the ice box. Impressive stats. Very impressive. I do believe she’ll have another great season next year and will earn another All star team participation.

How much of a correlation do you think there is between TPE and an all-star nod? Should there be more, or less, than there is?

In the arena of sports, such as the all-star team selection, it tends to be the highest-rated player on each team who secures a coveted spot. However, there's an additional layer to this dynamic – the significance of one's popularity among fellow users. This becomes particularly crucial if you're not the leading figure on your team. Teams often form alliances, akin to packs in the wilderness, to collectively cast votes for their most favored teammate, amplifying their chances of landing the prestigious position.
Moreover, users may extend their votes beyond their own team, possibly endorsing players on other teams whom they hold in high regard. It's a gesture of camaraderie, a friendly nod across team boundaries. Yet, this entire process mirrors the essence of any popularity contest – a phenomenon deeply rooted and likely resistant to change. The key, it seems, lies in building connections and fostering a commendable reputation within the community. This enduring tradition relies on the principles of camaraderie, reflecting a reality that seems unlikely to alter anytime soon.
