(S25) - PT 1 - Opening Statements

[SlurmsMckenzie]

The issue I chose to write about is the prompts for point tasks. I am a brand new player with no experience in the league, so my question is why are the point tasks so dependent on quoting statistics, league history, and its inner-workings? It has made it considerably challenging for myself, and I imagine other rookies to provide substance in their posts. This prompt is a prime example. The first point task of the season and if I hadn't made the decision to write about the prompts I would have no idea where to start. The party worm has much more important things to do than surf the Wiki and take notes to write a 200 word post for 3 TPE. In my opinion it's a travesty...no...it's a party foul.

Now I know I'm a larva in the eyes of the league I know, but in order to increase activity and attract new potential players would it be possible to have an alternative prompt only available to rookies? When new players, especially those who aren't versed in forum activity or simulation leagues are faced with these prompts it could be discouraging. In fact I had to make up this whole problem to even come up with an "issue" (jeeeeeez).

Keep in mind, this is just a suggestion or post to provoke a thought or discussion and this post is strictly this worm's personal belief. Party on dudes/dudettes!
