get rid of the weekly/weekend pt

Supersquare04 · 05-07-2018, 07:29 PM

alright so if you've read my PT then you know that I absolutely hate this weeks PT, it is one of the dumbest ones yet if not THE dumbest. However it got me to thinking that there are only so much subjects Oles can come up with and relate to the NSFL. So I propose to HO that we get rid of the PT.

BUT SQUARE YOU FUCKIING TARD, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE 5 TPE A WEEK?

god damnit asipi shut up i'm getting to that. Anyway I propose that instead of the PT we replace it with something that ties closer to your player. I think that we should make the PT completely open to what the player wants to talk about. Does Akselsen want to talk about the recent hype in Yellowknife after such an amazing season? write about it bzer! (I hope that's the right user lol). Does Asipi want to talk about his ring chasing? Talk about it DOR! Does Roenick wanna talk about the random growth spurt that transformed him into a linebacker? Talk about it leafer! This way Oles doesn't have to come up with dumb ideas every week and PT's could be more interesting to read because then you could go back through a players career and see the journey of their player through their PT's.

What do you guys think?

I mean kinda...but It'd still be like 200/150 (depending on week or weekend) words instead of 500/600

They do this on GOMHL as well

200 word media is 2 TPE

Also you got the user right

I prefer having a prompt. It forces you to go outside your comfort zone. Sure sometimes there's a groaner or two but overall I prefer the current system.

EFL has something called "Player Brand", which is essentially a 200 word weekly post that follows your character's storyline or development. I actually really liked that idea as an alternative to PTs.

I prefer the prompted PTs as well.

Over time if you are writing about what you want to write about, you will end up running out of ideas.

I also like prompted PTs, but a little flexibility might be nice.

Maybe there could be a third option to the Written PT and Graphic PT each week, like a Game PT where you have to name a Player of the Game for one of the game's that week or the best play, etc.

Ideally that would be a choice between 1) random PT like Reality TV, 2) Graphic PT based on that random PT, or 3) Game PT.

I always write about what I want and tie it loosely to the prompt, so far I haven't gotten dinged for it.
