Code:
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.

Code:
2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Shiny Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 topics 

related to the All Star Game to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. 

Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. Two teams, Edmonton and Los Angeles, tie with five total nods each. 

Both of those teams are in the West. Playoff rivalry aside, do you think

it's to the West's advantage or disadvantage to have a relatively large

number of players from the same two teams? Does it make the all-star 

game better or worse when this happens?

b. While the East rolled it back with two top defensive pairings - this 

year that means Philadelphia and Hamilton - the West mixed it up with 

only Los Angeles having two defensemen present. Everyone else has a new 

partner. Which side's defense are you more interested in watching?

c. While there aren't any new faces in net this season, which pair of goalies do you think is going to have more fun?

d. Why should YOUR player have made the all star game, and why should 

you be the last man in? (If your player did make the all star game, 

argue for one of your teammates instead!)

2a) When a lot of players from the same teams come to the All Star game, it's a disadvantage. Typically players in the league don't know who the stars are, so when they play a team like Edmonton or Los Angeles, they end up getting shut down because they fail to properly account for these stars. However, when they see who is at the all star game, in their next game against those players, they know to play dirtier against those star players, and crosscheck them in the back while the ref isn't looking. This helps shut down these star players and secure wins. +1 TPE

2c) The pair of Justin Time and Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz will have more fun. For starters, they have 6 total appearances to the All Star Game, whereas the opposing netminders, Casey Fantobens and Base Pack, only have a combined 5 appearances. This will allow the former pairing to have that extra experience and edge in fun having. They also have cooler names, so people will be making jokes about their names all weekend, which is plenty of fun. +1 TPE

Code:
3. Written, 3 TPE, The Teammate One (150 words min.)

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.)

My (future) teammate, Landon Fischermann, was invited to the All Star game roster. Being the highest TPE player on the Seattle Argonauts, a team near the bottom of the league, many people expected him to be snubbed. However, I will talk about how they definitely deserve to be here. That reason is that Seattle was only expected to have about 5 wins this season, but they ended up with 7, due to the efforts of Fishermann. Had he not been a stud defenseman, then the team wouldn't have succeeded nearly as much as they did. He came 3rd in points on his team AS A DEFENSEMAN! Who does that?! He also came 2nd on his team for defensive game rating, who for a team that received over 5 goals against on average per game, this is a great stat to have. He was shutting down opposing lines, and at the all star game, it's expected that he'll do just the same. +3 TPE
