I write the power rankings because they're fun but i have 0 use for the money, so rather than just horde a resource I have in plenty I'm going to try and help my teammates who don't have amounts of time and try and help the parity in the league.

First, GFX will be rolling out a collab system soon. Details to come.

Players can accept lower contracts, but still gain lots of TPE without being particularly active if someone on the team will just give them money to buy equipment and pay for training.

But y'all forget one thing, this is a hobby not a job, if people feel like they have to write 800 words a week to keep up with thier peers it can easily stop becoming fun and more just be writing for the sake of writing.

His work as the simmer is undoubtedly the most important thing here, more important than your power rankings. Why can't his work which allows everyone to enjoy this league be used to help his teammates who don't have time? Sure it would do the opposite of increasing parity....but that isn't really a reason to have a double standard for giving other people the fruits of your labor.
