Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

"The Man in the Goalie Mask", a tale of Stromboli. The movie would start off with Strom's initial minor league run, pre SMJHL draft, where he's relegated to what feels like a beer league player. Then it will proceed to his SMJHL draft where he's picked up (surprisingly) by the Anaheim Outlaws and backstops them to their championship win in Season 52. It will then ride the highs and lows of playing with a broken hand (ultimately leading to a situation where he gets suspended)...his rise to being Co-GM of the Winnipeg Jets/Aurora and his subsequent downfall while pursuing a managing career back in the minors. It will then (because it is a feelgood story), show the strain as he transitions from Winnipeg to Tampa and revitalizes his career just when everyone feels that he should be starting to wind down. Instead, backstopping the once abysmal barracuda to a challenge cup win and Strom's eventual inclusion into the "Quad Gold" club.

There has been some discussion on the forums but its always good to hear more opinions: Parity. Going back 6 seasons including this one there have been 4 teams in the finals: Buffalo, Chicago, Hamilton, and Texas. If you add New Orleans you can go back 8 seasons. 5 different teams for 8 straight finals. Is this an issue? Does it need to be fixed? Can it even be fixed? I'm interested to hear opinions, approaches, or just doom and gloom on whether you think this will change, or if we will still be talking about the same teams making the finals over and over in 5 seasons.

This is a tale as old as time it seems. FHM itself we know, and can agree on, is the better simulation engine to use than STHS, even without the miracle upsets that STHS used to provide. While it stinks that yes, over the last 8 seasons the same 5 teams have been involved (to a joke almost among locker-rooms), but I feel that with the update scale changes and contract changes we will eventually see more teams making it to the big show. In the same breath of that, because we are doing things that are definitely outside the scope of what the sim was designed for, teams that build properly I feel will be able to build these, for lack of a better term, dynasty runs where they can be at the top for several several seasons (even without a cup win). FHM was designed with the NHL in mind. We know from previous comparisons during our original transitions that a star NHL player equates out to between 14 and 1500 TPE based on our scaling. We have players regularly getting to 2000 tpe and having stats maxed out on multiple scales. We have teams basically comprised entirely of Gretzky's. If we really, in the long term, want to see true parity that the sim engine can handle...I feel we will need to change our own ways to fit the engine instead of trying to get the engine to fit us. That most likely means 4th lines in the SHL, tpe cap's and more.

What team on the outside looking in do you believe will be the next to break into the playoffs? What team will be the next new team to break into the finals (other than the core 4 listed in the above task)? Who seems to be building and earning at a rate that they will be a scary team in the future? We have already seen some successful rebuilds in Texas, Toronto, and Tampa, and some unsuccessful ones as well. Who is on the right track?

This is definitely a homer pick for me right now, but I believe Tampa Bay will be the next one to really break into the playoffs. We went into round two this season and fell just shy against Baltimore (thanks in part to the legendary LDV goaltending), but the overall age of the Barracuda is still young. Next season I feel we will have a legitimate chance to go all the way, even with a couple key players just entering regression (look at what other teams have been able to do with players in early regression but still max earning. Looking at you Toronto, Hamilton, et. al). The real amazing thing to think of with that regard is just simply the fact that it was a few seasons ago that Tampa was the literal bottom of the heap with an unfathomable 0-50 record. @hockeyiscool and @trella have done absolutely outstanding rebuilding the franchise and I really think they will be scary, more so sooner than later. CHOMP CHOMP.

It's been 2 seasons now and I can always use constructive criticism. What have I done right regarding PTs? What have I done wrong? Was I doing something the wrong way and fixed it? Was I doing something the right way and fuck it up? Do I even deserve 8 mil a season? Any and all thoughts are welcome EXCEPT malicious posts. Do not attack me, or my work. If you have a problem with it, explain why. Don't just say it sucks and its stupid.

Being the PT person is arguably the most thankless job here on the site. I think, despite what many would feel are shortcomings, you've been handling it nicely. I especially enjoy how open you've been to PT ideas, especially off the cuff one's like I've thrown at you. The only major improvement I feel that could be done is maybe hiring a couple more task graders. I know it is sort of a requirement to keep PT's open for a week in order to give people plenty of time to complete it, but then I know I've heard complaints a few times about how long it takes to get the results of the PT back in order to claim them. Having a couple additional people to grade not only would yield, in my opinion, quicker turn around times for claims, but also give that added bonus of a couple mil in shl bucks to some new users that are needing it. Keep up the good work!.
