What I do for TPE

[Ledge 1,131]

                                                  I thought I would do an article about what I do for TPE because I can't really do a playoff recap yet. But I can assure you, it will come. 

 

                      At the start of each week, I, presumably like every single other member of this league, claim practice facility, a free 2 TPE. Practice facility and claiming welfare are what inactive or careless users do, and I try to avoid welfare at all costs, and I strive to be the most active forums user(although I've only been on the leaderboard like twice). Practice facility is obviously supposed to be your player 'practicing', but having experience as a hockey player myself, I don't think it's realistic how much players in this league improve each week. It's inaccurate, and it doesn't matter. The league has to have some differences from real life. That's what makes a lot of it fun.

 

                     I then go and do my team press conference. Jiggs does a great job with them, and for me it's basically another free 2 TPE. The questions usually take me two minutes at maximum, so another one I can get done quickly. Also, it's a great way to get to know your teammates, as Jiggs sticks some personal questions in there too

 

                    I also get both my reviews done within the first hour of Monday morning. It is literally the easiest thing you can do, just put some comments about a media spot and give it an out of ten rating. Another free 2 TPE. So now, we're at 6 free TPE for me within half an hour. It's great for my player's development, but I think it might be a little too easy, and I think there should be more ways to earn that are more difficult and there isn't an easy alternative. Alas, my opinion matters not. Onward.

 

                   After I get all the easy stuff off the board, I usually get into the first thing where I have to actually put some time and work into: a VHL.com article. I don't like making graphics, as most of the time you spend cutting or carefully putting colour somewhere. I like writing much better, and am more than happy to have someone else do my sigs. Anyway, for the short articles, I usually shove some random crap together that pops into my head. I don't use my big idea because I save that for my big article, my media spot. Bottom line, VHL.com takes me about fifteen minutes and gets me another 2 TPE. 

                           

                   The comes the big kahuna. The grand finale. The media spot. That gives me 6 TPE. For a 500 word article. Sweet. I usually have about 0.8 good ideas for a media spot per week, so I'll either steal an idea from someone else and add to it or just be lazy and claim welfare. The big problem is that you have to be dedicated and have enough details for your idea for it to work for 500 WORDS. So sometimes I find myself writing a media spot and I decide to put the article into a word counter to see how much longer I had. And I have, like, 300 words total. So I copy and paste it and turn it into a VHL.com article, that only requires 300 words. And truth be told, I actually came up with enough words for this media spot! Hurray! 6 TPE for me!

I seem to start the same way, with practice facility. But, I like to write, so I usually move right into coming up with media spot ideas. After doing that I go through a review a few spots or graphics, and then if time allows for it I'll work on a graphic myself. Honestly, making a graphic, even a simple player card, is harder for me to do than to write 500+ words. I'm getting my Master's Degree, so writing ideas or topics at length is not really a challenge for me.

Review: Interesting. Similar to what I do, I like writing more than making graphics too. Nice short paragraphs. Maybe use some boldness next time.
