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.

+3 TPE

Code:
Written, 50 to 200+ words each. Shiny Grab Bag

2. Do you like the new format? Why or why not?

I'm pretty indifferent to the new format, but then I've also just never paid much attention to the all star event (either here or in real life). Just not really my jam. I get that it's probably fun for people to see how the top players duke it out and all that, but at the end of the day the thing I'm most interested in is my team. I'll catch the odd game here and there on a whim, but for the most part, the bit of spare time I have available to spend is dedicated to the firebirbs. And sometimes France for IIHF because vive la France! In fairness I should probably try to pay at least some attention to all star since Atlanta's got such good rep but it seems likely I'll forget.

Code:
8. Written, 50 to 200+ words. The Teammate One

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star expo! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASE? (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 who else should had been picked from your team.)

I think I pick this prompt every season but that's ok, if it works it works. This year there are FIVE firebirbs joining the All Star game or Expo# or whatever it is we're calling it now. This is a nice increase from the two we had last year. Always hot to bring more Inferno players info the mix. Also it just seems right that a quarter of team ATL is made up of Atlanta players. It wouldn't be ATL without ATL am I right?

Anyways, Jiggle E Puff and Billy Herrington are on the roster again this year which is super cool because they continue to do awesome things. Puff finished the season with 109 points, with Herrington following fairly close behind with a fat 98. But this time they are also joined by teammates Jae-Ik Barron, Georg N'Zola, and Stun Gun. Barron led the league in points with 64 goals and 57 assists, so that add was a no brainer. Stun Gun was a total stud in net and apparently zapped the competition into compliance, racking up a league leading 41 wins. It kind of looks like Georg N'Zola was just busy out there poking the bear and pestering people, as they led the team with 76 PIM and 56 takeaways. Every team needs a good pest right?
