19) Your player or team made big headlines in the news this week. What did they do, and why did it garner so much attention?
Yellowknife Wraiths made big headlines by organizing a community sacrificing ritual. The idea behind it was to please the sim gods. All the fans, players, and staff members who wanted to take part brought with them something they wanted to sacrifice. The items and objects that were sacrificed varied. Popular options were a favorite item of clothing, a record they liked, food was also sacrificed, someone even brought their favorite lawnmower. Point was that the items were supposed to mean something to the person. Whether sim gods accepted the sacrifices and are willing to show kindness in the future is something we will not know for a while.
Members of the media and people who heard about the sacrificing were generally understanding. Naturally, some did not understand the point of it, they considered such methods to be old-fashioned and a waste of resources.
Yellowknife Wraiths organization released a press statement shortly after the sacrificed items were burned.
''Thank you for helping the Yellowknife Wraiths organization today. For whatever reason, the sim gods were not kind to us this year, but I have full confidence that it will change next year. That is because you all sacrificed something important to you. That is something that can't go unnoticed by the gods''. (210)
21) What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?
I really like Philadelphia Liberty as a brand. Philadelphia is a historical city with the Liberty Bell and everything, so it only makes sense that the football team pays homage to the historical point of view and everything that the Liberty Bell stands for.
The colors of the logo and branding are ''patriotic'', red, white, and blue. You can also see stars in the logo. Everything goes well together, the brand is clean and easy on the eyes. I like it.
All the brands are pretty solid in my honest opinion, so it's hard to find one that could really use refreshing. Still, if I need to pick one. Chicago Butchers could be a potential candidate purely because they are called ''Butchers''. That is an aggressive and violent name compared to other team names around the league that seem to be about animals. Or is that the point? Butchers are there to take care of animals?
Either way, the name ''Butchers'' brings bloody and ''negative'' pictures to your mind, which might not be ideal when you think about marketing the brand to fans.
Is Chicago as a city and area known for its butchers? If that is the case, I don't think the name needs to be changed, but some general refreshing around the logo and colors could be a decent alternative.
