1. Media spots, pod casts, graphics and. VHL.com's are all weekly tasks you can do to earn your capped limit TPE. The cap for the week is 12 by the way.
You pick either graphic (6), media (6) or Welfare for your mains. Then you can do a press conference and VHL.com once a week.
These do not include jobs like financier, updaters etc.
2. Kind of explained above.
Media Spot - 500 to 2,000+ words. Every 500 words is good for one week. If it's 500, you don't have to write until next week and can claim 6 TPE. If it's say, a 1,500 word article - you can claim it ONCE a week for a total of 3 weeks.
Graphic - once a week/6 TPE
Welfare - if you're busy or just lazy - it's def way less than the other 2.
Magazine = 7 TPE I believe. Writing articles for the VHL magazine etc WEEKLY.
VHL.com - WEEKLY - 150 word blabber about the league, your player or whatever. I believe it's 2 TPE now.
Press conf - WEEKLY - ask 5 and answer 5 and you get 2 TPE.
and there's some other shit like rookie report and Bio that you can only do ONCE in your CAREER and they earn you 8 and 10 TPE.
3. Earn points by doing up above stuff WEEKLY or whatever.. and then once you do them, update your player in your players update thread (you'll have to make this). Apply the points VIA the update scale in the "create a player" thread.
4. Auto retire after 8 seasons. It tends to be enough and you will be excited to create a new player by that time - trust me. However, I'm on the BoG and am fighting to up them limits to 10 seasons. Doubt it'll happen - especially with the newly introduced salary cap brackets etc.
5. You can fly off into the abyss or create a new player. If he's good, he goes into the hall of fame and will forever be remembered. This is my like 4th or 5th player but I'm also a GM so i tend to retire my guys early to help out my teams needs
