I think that every player in the SHL probably has different offseason routines and schedules that uniquely work for them. I don’t think that there is one “correct” way to spend your offseason to get ready for the season. RIP THUNDERDOME 2013-2023 spends his offseason fasting and giving penance to the SHL gods for the collective crime of killing the Thunderdome. That works really well for RIP TD, but I can see why such a process wouldn’t work for other players. I mean, fasting can’t actually be good for you when you are trying to get ready for an entire season of an extremely grueling sport. However, the praying probably fills him with the power of Simon T, letting RIP THUNDERDOME act as a sort of avatar for the SHL and Sim Gods. Other players probably just chill on the beach and hit the weight room, and all the power to them
