Hello ISFL Universe!
It's time for your FAVORITE time of the year! ITS MEDIA BONUS SEASON BITCHES!!
This one, you see, its going to be *slightly* different from the others.
I know, i didn't give my "HEY ITS MY BIRTHDAY" bonus week last month, but thats because I knew this was coming in the offseason and I didn't want to overkill it.
This Bonus Challenge gives you THREE potential ways to get some bonus money boosters:
BUT BEFORE I GET INTO THAT, HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE ELIGIBLE:
Podcasts MUST be over an hour long.
Written Media MUST be over 1000 words (of your own writing) long. That means you can't post a 1000 "presser" where 50% of the words are just from questions from others. Nope. That's cheating. Don't do it.
Very simple stuff here.
So let's start with the easy one:
Option 1. All Media Will Be Given 1.5x media payout. Real simple stuff here. Write a media of 1000 words that doesn't hit the other qualifiers (more on those in a minute) and get 1.5x the payout.
Now for the fun one I added today (which is why i needed to see the Ultimus result!)
Option 2: In honor of Bayley Cowabunga and her second straight Ultimus title, *ALL* of the above medias from Option 1 can become 2x Medias by simply adding the following at the end:
I want some goodness in this world. You're writing 500 more words about your dog and why they're great. I've spoken with Bayley and this is also going to include other pets (even, as she says, "stupid cats") and pictures are encouraged. Tell me why your pet is amazing and some homecooked goodness will net you a 2x media designation. BUT THATS NOT ALL. If you choose not to write about a pet or don't have one, I want you to do this: write the 500 extra words on why you love the ISFL and its community. Shoutout the good people in this league, spread some joy and good will. Be a beacon of light in your media, and get the 2x as well.
FINALLY, OPTION 3:
Option 3 has nothing to do with the above, and its a stand alone project:
Option 3 is worth 2.5x media.
You *MUST* write about ONE of the following topics:
1. THE DRAFT! Give me your mock drafts (remember, just listing players and teams will get you NOTHING) and tell me why you think certain teams should draft the players you picked. Talk up the draft classes! You can do this for ISFL OR DSFL, its fine. Want to wait until after the ISFL draft and give indepth draft grades? You can do that too! (The DSFL draft will be held after the super bonus week ends, so it wont be able to happen, sorry guys). Just give me that sweet, sweet draft material.
2. BE THE GM FOR A DAY. Pick your favorite team from the ISFL and take the reigns this offseason. Give me what you would do if you ran the team and how you'd make it an Ultimus contender. Who would you resign? Who would you try to get in FA? Who would you consider trading or walking away from? Let me know how you'd run the franchise of your choice!
3. BE HEAD OFFICE. Let's pretend that HO disbanded and YOU were left in charge. First off, I'm sorry for you. Secondly, what changed would YOU make to make the ISFL even better in your opinion? Would you expand? Remove teams? Change rules you hate? Allow tampering? Fire the handsome media czar? The ISFL world is your oyster, give me your ideas.
Because people struggle with the description, just know that all entries have to be in by MONDAY, AUGUST 15th, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2022, BY 11:59PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
And if you can, please put which option you're gunning for at the top so my graders know what they're looking at. Thanks guys!
Go forth, and make beautiful media music out there. I can NOT wait to see what you come up with!
