Task 32: https://simulationhockey.com/showthread....pid3094416
Task 30: A player union is important in any league, and is something that I know has been a topic of discussion for a few months in the SHL. Letting players have a hand in each and every decision is super important even just from a player retention standpoing. Now i dont actually know how this union works, so I am going to say that if the union Isnt made up of one representative from each team, as voted on by the team each season, which then all work together with a union head who is charged with representing the union in all HO discussions, then its being done wrong. If what I had just outlined is infact how it is done however, then I would say that the league is doing a bang up job that should be taken note of around the sim league community. I also think that this player union should also have the power to be able to make suggestions to HO for vote. The way I see this working out is, say a random player comes up with an idea they think is super smart, they bring it to their rep, who then brings it to all the reps who then go and tell their team about it. The union reps then vote on it based on the team response, and if it passes, it gets brought to HO.
29: OK so I am an Simulation Major Junior Hockey League General Manager, I only have say in ONE award, and its literally designed to be a homer award, like tell us about one player in your lockerroom and why you love them. otherwise ALL of the awards (and even to a degree that one) are handled by a dedicated awards committee. Their entire job is to understand each award, why its awarded, who its been awarded to in the past, and why they specifically won it. Thats their job, this committee is designed to be impartial so that its not a total popularity contest, and if in the event that a total bullshit award is given, they are punished. This means that awards are awarded fairly, and that there is some level of accountability for awards each season. Now I am brand new to this league, I dont know what constitutes as good, but I do know football to a degree (my brother played both Oline and Dline for a number of years) there was a dsfl rookie, clifford wilson who broke the season record for pancakes by 25, and has even ended the season with 99 pancakes and zero sacks allowed, thats fucking impressive, and if he doesnt win something because you dont have a dedicated awards committee, I will be shocked.
27: Ok time for me to be a complete newbie to the league (my last player doesnt count and we all know it). A number of these branding are down right weird, like... Why? As such it really narrows down my options, though if GMs would like to reach out to me and explain their... interesting decisions, I love to learn. As such my favourite branding is the New York Silverbacks. Why? Well first and foremost I would die for Platanocat, and yes that does in fact impact my ultimate decision. Secondly I am a MAJOR nerd for the Kaijuverse, and the New York Silverbacks is a VERY obvious nod to King Kong. If that had no play in the naming of the team, then I say to them, dont fucking draft me, you snakes. BUT I have no doubt its a nod at Kong. I think more teams should be named after Kaiju I mean whats more cool than a plasma breathing giant lizard, a 3 headed dragon, or a moth... ok well maybe not mothra I guess. I also like the Colorado Yeti as it does not feel wildly overplayed (Im looking at you Anaheim) but they simply cant beat the King (Kong).
