Please pick ONE prompt to write about. Do not mix and match prompts. Identify the prompt you are using in your submission - Copying and pasting the prompt will deduct from your word count so if you do this make sure YOUR submission is 150+ words excluding the prompt.

Written Option 1: So you got good advice from discord and decided to spent most of your TPE on aggression and fighting. Now your player wants to go and fight the star player on opposing team but you realize during the first period that they are tough as nails and wont be shaken by hard hits. On top of that they barely seem to understand English. Yet your player knows better than to take instigation penalty on top of fighting, so how do they make the star player on other team mad? Do they use sign language? Download a dualingo during the intermission? Hire a translator?

Graphic Option 1: Create an image showing your player making opposing player mad without using any words, on or off the ice.

Written Option 2: Each team in SHL has players from multiple nations and cultures. Even if the player gets to play in their home country they will be exposed to other cultures from their teammates and staff of the team. What your player has learned from their foreign team mates and or from culture of locals should they not be playing in their home country? Maybe they have been introduced to their new favorite foods or genres of music they weren’t familiar before? Or maybe they are now enjoying the football (either) with new enthusiasm as they have joined the bandwagon of their teammates? Or they finally got to understand why saunas are so great. Write how meeting people from other cultures has had positive impact on your player or to you as user who has had interactions with people around the world.

Graphic Option 2: Create an image showing you player enjoying their favorite thing (food, activity or whatever) they learned from their foreign teammate.

You will receive 3 TPE for fulfilling all requirements.

All responses are due on Sunday, June 30th at 11:59 PST. NOTE: IF YOU SUBMIT/EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE YOU WILL RECEIVE REDUCED/NO TPE.

Graphics need to be viewable when PT is graded or you will not receive TPE. Discord only hosts images for very limited time.

Affiliate claims from either PBE or ISFL or WSLB or SSL are accepted; link directly to your post and note if your username is different there.

If you have any questions/concerns, please PM me. Tasks with malicious intent will not be graded. The graders reserve the right to determine malicious intent, after discussion with me. You will not be warned.

This task is for SHL players and send downs only. If your player is S78 this is not for you.

Written Option 1: It's really not as complex as you make it sound. Some things are universal, effective no matter the language, and what could be more effective than yo mama jokes? Sure, maybe the opposing stars speak very little English, but I'll bet on pure pop culture osmosis to have taught them what a yo mama joke is, and especially that some of them are especially mean. Just make sure to skate next to them, tell them all the yo mama jokes you can think of, and subtly bump them with your shoulder when the refs aren't looking. That last point is a big one, too. No one likes being hassled, and what could be worse than getting subtly hassled for twenty five minutes a night by some jerk hitting your shoulder over and over and over again? Sure, it might take a bit, but eventually, they'll snap, they always do. And then it's gloves off, fists up, duking it out on the ice. Thanks, Discord!

Written Option 1:

There are many, many ways to instigate a fight besides mere words. For starters, there's a multitude of obscene gestures that one could make that are sure to draw at least SOME kind of reaction for an opponent. Take the middle finger, for example, the universal signal of telling someone to go F themselves. There's the shaking of your fists back and forth in a sexual enough manner that your opponents would know means that you're calling them, as the Brits would say, "a bloody wanker". The list goes on and on and on, but even with that taken into consideration, Trevor takes all possible options into consideration, and that includes verbal options. Before a game, Trevor has a study session where he learns the native language of all his opponents, and makes a custom list of all the words and phrases he can say to them in their own languages to irritate them. Of course, he prefers not to use them unless necessary because he's a good guy, but if push comes to shove, he'll find a way to make sure his opponents know that he has, in fact, had relationships with their mother and/or father.

Task 2:

The Seattle Argonauts has always been a very multicultural team where people around the global world have met each other with open hearts and minds. William Salming is a Finnish hockey player and tries to bring into the locker room some Finnish seriousness. He doesn't tell a lot of jokes because he can't tell them in English so he focuses on to speak proper hockey jargon with easy words and sometimes his team mates have said him about that. Salming leads by his example on the ice. But there are other guys from the USA and Canada who lead more by their voices in the locker room. Podcalzone, the Russian captain, also speaks solid English and can bump the team to perform well on the ice before matches. Salming has learned to speak better English by being surrounded so many local people or at least to keep his current language standard or level. That is a best part for him for being a Finnish guy in the locker room full of North Americans. Of course there are couple of Europeans too from Austria and Scotland for example and from them Salming has learned some great things about traveling.

Opt 1

I will take this plan to effect with 100% certainty whenever N'Zola reaches the depths of regression where there is no coming back from, but I like the idea of having more points in useless stats earlier than anticipated for useless scrub Georg N'Zola. Nothing is better than taking the piss out of a younger player with 0 experience being a fella with miles of experience and 0 skill, you kinda have to resort to using dirty tactics against people like them. If that does not work like intended you can always continue doing them dirty on the ice, take Marchand for example - the guy is an absolute nutcase fuckwad but a master at making people pissed on the ice to the extent that they lose their focus from the game and start focusing on the unnecessary aspects. Wherever the guy is from you can always use duolingo like puoli suggested to learn some profanities towards their mothers and sisters and other relatives. Works everty time

Option 2:

Beck has learned a lot form his North American teammates, as well as the number of Scandinavian compatriots on the Winnipeg roster. From the Americans and Canadians, Beck, from Switzerland, learned how to properly take a road trip. He learned that there are in fact flat places in the world where you can see forever, mountains not obstructing. He learned that those two groups do agree on what football is, but disagree on how it should be played. From his Finnish teammates, he learned that saunas are a thing and that if you live up north far enough, everyone calls you Santa Claus. His Swedish friends taught him about the importance of the King and Meatballs, as well as how to be the front man of a metal group. Finally, Beck instilled in everyone else a love of holy cheese and how to win Silver medals on the international hockey front.

I think that one of the greatest strengths of the simulation hockey league is the fact that players from around the world come to play here. Not only do we get to see the top tier of talent and a high level of play, but we also get to learn more about where all of these players come from and how others live their lives. For example, I've learned that Australians love sports more than any other nation. And they're all sports I'm not used to like cricket, rugby, and their own version of football. How neat! Meanwhile, Canadians are a friendly folk, everyone knows that. But did you know that they're tough as nails as well? Being in Winnipeg has been an absolute delight because our fans show their toughness each and every day. Whether it's working with their hands or sticking by our team while we struggle this season, the Canadians are a tough bunch!

Option 2:

Marek is from Pilsen, Czechia. While he does have some roots in the US and spent 3 seasons with Detroit in the SMJHL, nothing could really prepare him for joining the major league scene in a city like Philadelphia. He’s become a follower of the 76ers, Phillies, Union, and Eagles, although he tries to avoid being hit by D-batteries and hasn’t yet tried to climb a greased pole (not that hardcore of a follower yet.) Being exposed to these fanbases helps him understand what the fans of the Forge feel, how they act, and what the team means to them and that partially motivates Marek to ensure he’s giving his best to try and both satisfy the fans and spare himself from their wrath. Philly is a tough place.

Additionally, he’s learned a lot from teammates. Leonard Wood is big into music and has introduced Marek to some American Indie music but also artists local to SE Pennsylvania as well. Tony Soprano has shown Marek all the best Cheesesteak spots – a Philly classic. When Marek first joined the squad, Cale Salad as a senior on the team took him on a tour of the city, explaining some of its history and showing him the Liberty Bell.

Now midway through his second season in the SHL, Marek is beginning to understand the culture and feel at home!

There is no point in trying to learn a language that fast as everything will get lost in translation and the point will not be achieved. You could attempt to use sign language, but I don't know how many of you have attempted that with hockey gloves on, but the dexterity just isn't there. Honestly the best way to get under the stars skin in my opinion would be to stick to him like snot on a screen door and feed him with cheap shots and jabs all game long. No one can endure that type of harassment all game long and it will only be a matter of time before he snaps and the fight will break out. That in my opinion would be the only way you could efficiently get under the stars skin and cause the raucous break out. It will then be a free for all and you can have the fight you are looking for.
