Ottawa and Project 2.2

[diamond_ace 3,114]

So now that Project 2.2 is being discussed publicly, I think it's a good time to discuss how I specifically would handle such a project, especially how it would work with my role as Ottawa GM.

 

1. I would participate, but only on a welfare level. My P1 would still be the primary focus. The only times P2.2 might get a full PT worth of value is if we were awarded a free week, either through a league giveaway or if I used one from a donation. This would still be viable since welfare pays out pretty well, especially if you've had good players before.

 

2. I'd probably be the only one with this particular focus given the way many view the VHLM, but my player would primarily be a VHLMer, even artificially so. If I got to 125 before the VHLM cutoff, I'd immediately stop adding. I'd use it much like the VHL GMs use their players, as a way to permanently boost my team (of course I'd have to acquire him first, likely via draft, so it would be fair for the other teams since he's not a free piece). He'd also almost always be a passing and defensively oriented forward, since so many new players tend to go scoring first, so that my guy could fit well on a line with theirs and give them success early on, which in turn could keep them going and keep their interest in the league up. If there was a point where players would have to go up, I'd be faced with a decision - either retire and make a new 2.2 player, or just go ahead and go up, but at no point would my main focus with a 2.2 be the VHL.

Even a welfare guy can become great though, especially considering how many things like GM pay, Press Conferences, etc are claimable on 2 players. Welfare is 5 for most people too, so you're only missing 1 TPE.

Yeah but I'm intentionally only putting him in the VHLM until he has to come up. I'm a VHLM GM, that's what benefits me.

Also, while I appreciate press conferences for the sake of offering something new for the league, I can't be bothered to do them with Lawson, so I certainly can't be bothered to do them with 2.2

Yeah, I don't fault anyone for not doing PCs.

It's just become a weekly routine for me every week to post 5 questions for my team and whoever else wants them. SOmetimes I don't claim it.
