S72 PT #3: A Hitchhikers Guide to General Management

The aliens barely made it out alive from their match with the goons from the General, but a win is a win.  During the post-game celebrations with the aliens, another ship landed that housed a race of super-intelligent mice, who were very long-winded about how great and smart they were.  Eventually, the mice challenged the aliens to a game of hockey.  This was a completely different scenario than the General's goons, the mice would have a strategy in mind and could potentially outsmart the aliens even though they had a major size advantage over the mice.  Trevor Lahey had a plan though, and that plan was to not change a thing.  These mice are small and couldn't possibly be that fast on the ice, the puck is bigger than them!  Trevor's plan was to use the confidence the aliens had achieved from their recent win to it towards this new game to use their size and speed as an advantage over the super-duper smart mice.  Stay tuned til next week to see how our new alien friends size up against the smarty pants mice.

Written Task: After your stunning victory against your Proud Warrior Race opponents, you find yourself and your team of plucky aliens challenged by mice of unusual IQ. After a long-winded explanation of how they built the Earth as a supercomputer to yield the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, they want to experience this game that has emerged on their experimental planet. This time, your team has the size and strength advantage, but your opponents are very quick and have absurd hockey IQ. What's your gameplan to win this time?

My plan is to use our size old school. Almost to the point of beating them up and scaring them. Our best chance is to overpower them. Making them afraid to get close to our goal destroying any plan they had. They may be able to pass it away, but they will still feel the hurt for what they did either eventually tiring them out or making them scared to actually do anything. Smarts do matter, but if you can not get through then it doesn't. If necessary we would bate them into fights and win all of them wearing them down even more. Trying to make the game a brawl and fight as much as possible to distract or change the match. Not even worrying about scoring until we start to get in their head and make them nervous. My player loves hitting people on the ice so this is the perfect stratefy for me and my teammates to get the edge to win.

Facing the challenge from the hyper-intelligent mice, my team of plucky aliens strategizes for victory. Acknowledging their quickness and unparalleled hockey IQ, we opt for a blend of controlled aggression and strategic finesse. We focus on tight defensive formations and efficient puck handling to counter their speed. Our size advantage comes into play as we create physical barriers and use body positioning to slow their pace. At the same time, we cultivate unpredictability by incorporating unconventional plays and deceptive passes.  We recognize their profound understanding of the game and engage in fluid puck movement and rapid position shifts. By alternating between offensive rushes and controlled possession, we aim to disrupt their defensive patterns and exploit momentary gaps in their coverage.
Stamina becomes crucial as we maintain a high-tempo game, forcing them into endurance challenges. Emphasizing effective line changes, we keep fresh players on the ice, constantly testing their swift reactions and cognitive adaptability. As the game unfolds, we seize opportunities to confuse their expectations with sudden shifts in strategy. This combination of physical prowess and cerebral tactics aims to unsettle their absurdly high hockey IQ. Ultimately, we aim to wear down their agility with relentless pressure while capitalizing on our size advantage during critical moments. This multidimensional approach, blending physicality with cerebral maneuvering, is our ticket to victory against these formidable opponents in their experimental arena.

I do not know why I now need to team up with our dumb ass mascot, we were like in a fight about a week ago. I put smelly fish in his suit and everything, but okay. First we will get together in the strategy room and brainstorm on ideas how to prank our General Manager. We pick the top ideas and start working out some more details until eventually one prank remains and we go do that. In this case we will download some porn videos and deepfake his face on the male character in the videos. His wife and kids will be super pissed thinking he cheated on them and the attention this will bring on social media will be huge. People do say that even negative attention is attention, so that's also a marketing strategy right? But I will just blame the mascot and he will get fired, so I kill two birds with one stone.

Written Task:

Well I guess this is harder than the aliens since this time were the big ones. Playing normal hockey would just demolish us because of their speed. Playing like goons wouldn't help either because of how small they are. But I don't think anyone mentioned how small their goalie was. If the goalie was the same size as the others then it would be a chase for the puck, get it or win it from a faceoff. And pass or just shoot towards the net if you are in their zone or ours. Like if the goalie is that tiny, a goal would be the easiest thing possible. That's why they draft tall goalies in the NHL. Even though we have a huge advantage in the goaltending and the size, getting the puck would be the biggest issue. The mice might just score before we could even get the puck with their IQ's. But again, we could just do 5 defensemen crowding the net and slowly into 5 forwards which would be a problem for them. If nothing else works, just give them food.

After their miraculous win in their previous match, Svoboda and his team of aliens felt that they were on top of the universe. As the news of their victory spread, challengers began to emerge. Svoboda realized that his initial goal of bringing them into the SHL was not ambitious enough. Instead, he believed them to be capable of beating any team in the universe.

That confidence quickly came crashing down when he saw their next opponents play. Their skill was astounding, their speed was unmatched. He though back on the strategy they had used to win their previous match, which was to play as dirty as possible. This time around they were the larger team and would not have to rely on crosschecks, high sticks, and so forth. This time they would simply take the body and attempt to injure the opposition that way. The way he saw it, a 5 minute major would be worth an injury to a star play on the other team. The goal would be to do this until there was no one left to play against on the other team.

Pranging @hotdog might just be the easiest and most done thing in the atlanta locker room. that guy is very gullible. @goldenglutes and @Jepox once had an AI generated image of a guy and we pretend it's hotdog and everytime hotdog says we have no idea what he looks like we just send the same ai generated picture and he keeps saying "no lol, that aint me!" but we all know it kinda be. One time I plainted his face green and put bolts on the side of the head so we think it's frankenstein's moster (shoutout @5ympathies ) or shrek haha. Another prang we pull on hotdoge is that we all update and earn the most possible TPE and have them in our updates for the playoffs and stuff haha. @Leppish doesnt like that prang however because he never updates or earn tpes. Some smart players like @Z-Whiz say that hotdog is actually pulling a prang on us by pretenting updating is a prang but i do not believe it, I truly believe hotdog is in shambles when we updates and he fells for the prang everytime lmao. Another prang we do is replace words with another word and act like its usual.

after i decided that the simulation hockey league franchise the hamilton steelhawks' mascot steely the steelhawk deserved a nice bath of fondue in his suit, we decided to team up and prank our general manager @Hallsy because every simulation hockey league general manager deserves a good pranking. so we came up with a foolproof plan. as it is very well known, hallsy is a big fan of the national hockey league team the edmonton oilers. so we told him that the edmonton oilers' best player, connor mcdavid, wanted to meet him. but connor mcdavid would not be meeting him. instead, we would be dousing him with a nice bath of good old swiss fondue. hallsy showed up to where we told him to go, and then our connor mcdavid decoy arrived. when hallsy figured something was off, i pulled a wire, and the bowl of fondue we had prepared (cold, not warm - not trying to get sued) dumped on his head. get fondued

I am becoming concerned about himself Hugh Manius thought. As here he was teaming up with nothing as discussed, the Spector’s are to cheap to hire a mascot so they take pictures of fans get there picture taken with nothing and get told they are with Ghosty the team mascot. Therefore, Hugh is starting to question his sanity as he believes that he is conspiring with mascot that does not exist. He was not sure if he was getting possessed but some type of demon putting thoughts in his head or weather, he was simply losing his mind and developing some type of split personality. Either way it is not good. He voices where asking him to peruse maximum social media engagement but that means showing the world Hugh’s potential disorders, and that would not be good for Hugh or the teams. So, he just took pictures of the resulting hijinks from his and Ghosty’s pranks along with himself and Ghosty.

As a great man once said "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." We got the size and the strength advantage and we're going to exploit by playing a hard nosed grind style of gameplay.  Hip checks, body checks into the wall, punch ups, and line brawls are all on the cards as we go up against our inferior mouse like opponents. This is going to be one of those games were the last two lines matter more the first two. As long as we can outplay them with physicality I think we have a great shot at winning this game.  We've got  to dig pucks out of the corner and cloud the net. The more aggressive we are the higher the chances of our victory grows. We're going to scar them up so much that they're own momma won't be able to recognize them.

So that's my plan and that's how I think the game will go.



Quote:162 Words

As I gathered my team of plucky aliens, ready to face off against these mice of unusual IQ in the most epic game of all time, I knew we needed a gameplan that was as cunning as it was outrageous. After all, these weren't just ordinary mice – they were the architects of Earth-as-a-supercomputer!

So, with a grin on my face and a glint of determination in my eyes, I presented our plan: Operation "Interstellar Cheese Chase."

Step 1: Galactic Gouda Gambit
We would start by strategically placing enormous chunks of the finest intergalactic cheese at various points on the playing field. Our proud warrior race opponents might be immune to the charms of cheddar, but these mice wouldn't be able to resist a well-aged Brie from the Andromeda galaxy.

Step 2: Wormhole Weaving
While our opponents would be distracted by the irresistible aroma of the cheese, we would unveil our secret weapon – portable wormholes. With a swift flick of our specially designed Alien-iWands, we would open up mini wormholes that would teleport the puck across the field, completely confounding the mice's absurdly high hockey IQ. They might be quick, but they wouldn't see this space-time trickery coming!

Step 3: Quantum Quirks
Finally, we'd introduce a dash of quantum uncertainty into the mix. Just as the mice thought they had our strategy figured out, our players would engage in spontaneous teleportation, making them pop up in unexpected places. It's hard to outmaneuver an opponent when they can materialize anywhere on the ice!

Mice are very small creatures, do you know why there were such a small amount of small players in the old game? that's right, cause they were easy targets for getting their face bashed in or getting send over the boards, now it would be a challenge in themselves for the mice to even play, but as someone who is a hockey referee, there is no rule against "accidentally" stepping on your opponent and causing "minor injuries", the play is to just beat the ever living shit out of the mice through any means necessary, mice are small, mice can't hit, mice have small legs so they can't skate out of the way of you, very easy targets if i just show the aliens highlights of like scott stevens or something, in fact the mice might be smart, but like idk if they have the strength to even shoot the puck, i mean its probably heavier than the mouse, and like the size of the mouse
