First is that the rich kinda get richer since it's based on performance and second that it's uncapped based off a popularity contest I don't understand how the rich would get richer or how it's a popularity contest. The idea is alot like a VHL fantasy zone mod, pure luck. Anyway I tried lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you meant someone would pick the best performers and then people would vote on those to award TPE. You meant a fantasy type deal but instead of just predicting scores it would predict top scorers and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would garner some forum game thread interest and get ppl interested in other games on that day. Some smack talk with other teams, getting people to crawl out of their LRs and just interacting with the community in tandem with discord. It would be a huge bonus for new players in the VHLM to get out and explore ppl and the forum. Might inadvertently help with retention, which leads to expansion and infuence der meister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have like a parlay, like "Moscow (-2) v Chicago," then "Adrienne over/under 2 points in game X," along with some others. Whoever gets them all right gets 1 or 2 uncapped TPE. But that's less forum interaction and more of games and extras type shit that would probably go along with fantasy zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I tried lol This would be really easy to implement into VHL Fantasy Zone, but if we were to do something like that, it probably wouldn't actually facilitate more forum conversation, just add questions to the Google form that's already being posted each week. We could look into adjusting the format of Fantasy Zone for regular seasons in the same way that we change it up for playoffs. Mr_Hatter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the time there would be more sims to compensate.

Incentivizing it makes it more interesting heh Incentives would go much further than to say "hey, we like it the old way, so we're turning back the clock." People want TPE, and if they're losing convenience, there should be some reason to do it. It may not be TPE that serves as the final incentive, but just saying "if you want games, go on forums" and expecting discussion to happen doesn't make sense. Having games in a single thread or post, or adding some flair to games as they're posted would go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
