RP Hoard Scores // 2026-27

At the risk of over-engaging with our RP economy, I wanted to take a closer to look at how people were....or more specifically, were not....using RP's.

I'm going to toot toot our horn and Ashes' horn and say that our system is working. This is the best I've ever seen ratings inflation curbed this far into a sim league's duration and I think by and large everyone is doing a great job. Ashes' sweet drafts and our RP discipline are the reasons why we can have these funky players still have value in 2027. Seriously: in other league's, the majority of players have "A's" across the board by now. The incentives have generally worked!

While scarcity in our RP system is the point, the system would work *best* if everyone WHO COULD actually use those beautiful reward points....would USE them. While the fed can inject $$ into the economy when it wants, that doesn't accomplish our goals if fellas are hoarding RPs and not using them to trade, scout, camp, use the ndl, etc. Should we find a way to transfer those points to those who will use them and stimulate our economy!? IDK!!!!

Check-out the "hoard-score" I made which basically scores each team's activity and spending vs. the RPs they have leftover at the end of the year.

If you have a ton of RPs, but aren't generating any or spending them, well ... try to!

How many RP would the GMs hoard if the GM hoards got bored

If you have uncamped boys, send them to me

@Jesse I may be thinking about this wrong, or missing something in general, but shouldn't RPs gained through trades also count as productive activity? Not just RPs spent in trades?

You're still creating activity in the league and haven't really hoarded anything until you do nothing with them in later seasons

Nah. The purpose of this was to encourage people from unnecessarily hoarding RPs.

E.g., a GM has more RPs than they know what to do with, but don't camp anyone, don't send anyone to the NDL, still (for some reason) don't trade any, AND haven't been producing content/doing jobs to bring in RPs.

Want to avoid that. If people are trading RPs and doing pods/articles and doing stuff, camping players, etc. that's awesome and encouraged! If anything, I think scouting / tagging players might need to be added as "productive activity"

Taking in tons of RPs via trades doesn't fit into that category. Definitely a smart thing to do when you need to camp guys (and by this formula, someone who added a fuck ton of RPs but then actually used some of them wouldn't be penalized!), but it wold be weird to doubly count RPs people take in
