Only 200 RP base for something like this that definitely took a ton of time... and we wonder why a frenzy is necessary! This deserves way more RP than that as does basically every piece of content that involves real creativity. Don't want to be that guy, but 425 base for the Big Board (which is dope, btw! deserved RP! Not trying to fire a shot at you specifically Joe!) by comparison makes it really hard to want to put any real amount of time into stuff that is heavy on process work but might be light on type up. Even with the bonus, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Wish we would start rewarding different types of content as well as people’s time - I sat next to Steven for like two hours while he wrote a legit artistic ass article about his fake team and he got like nothing for it

I understand the reasoning behind controlling RP amounts but there’s gotta be a better middle ground that incentivizes people to actually make the league fun and invest time

Having never done this kind of 2K sim before, I really had no idea how much effort it was, I figured this was something relatively quick. I always say with grades, if I missed something, you can always add context and ask for a regrade (I’ve done this a bunch of times in the past). If this was indeed a lot of effort, I’m happy to bump it up

[Joe]

With regard to artistic articles that are lighter on complexity/league insight but high on creativity and funniness, it can be tough to give a base grade that’s really high bc complexity and league insight count for more. But I love Steven’s articles as much as the next guy, on that one I think we need to add a quality content bonus, so I’m going to do that (I think we've done this in the past, honestly an oversight this year)

Spoke with Bobby, got the details on the level of effort.

Grade: 375RP x 2 = 750RP

Quality content bonus: 100RP

Bobby listened to Eddy Curry and did it for the sim league. LeBron loses finals in all the universes
