Roke's Freeware EHM Challenge

[Primis]

Here's the entire Roke EHM Challenge (REHMC) post as user Roke originally posted it on the FHockey.com forums (I think in 2006). I think it's important to keep:

Roke's EHM Challenge

I'm 99% sure this isn't original but I "Came up with it" a couple weeks ago and thought I'd throw it out there to help people spice up their freeware EHM. This combines, in my oppinion, two of the best parts of EHM: Building a team and winning.

The Goal: To take a team and win as many Stanley Cups in a row as you can.


The Rules:

*Use whatever version of EHM you prefer*
*No UFA Signings of players 60OV or above*
*No Trades*
*No Waiver or Waiver draft claims*

1) Before the Preseason do the following:

a)Trade all your prospects away to any combination of teams you wish, for nothing (trade your prospect +5th for a 5th and then swap the 5ths back).

b)Trade in order to make your Pro roster (except for one mega-scrub) all retiring players, it doesn't matter if they're actually good or not (I'd reccomend good players as it will give you one winning season before the losing commences

c)Trade your farm-players away for Super-scrubs. For example, with Montreal you would trade Higgins, Kostitsyn etc. (anyone with any sort of potential or current ability, so your farm is full of superscrubs (So Grahame Belak, Fukufuji would be good examples).

d)Sim as usual, no trades and such, hope you win.

e)After the draft and the impending retirements you have to go out and sign those super-scrubs to fill your AHL and NHL team.

f)Sim seasons, building your team through the draft and hopefully eventually reaching contending and perhaps even a dynasty, your goal is to win as many Stanley Cups in a row as possible.



Some More notes
You'll basically be policing yourself when playing the game and if you choose to brag about it here and you cheated (re-simming of games, etc.) well, you're pathetic to say the least Razz. Good luck and enjoy.

I'm currently playing with LA and I'm in only my 2nd season, was elminated in the first round of the playoffs in my first season which, well sucks. I've also decreased the # of Canadians and Americans generated while greatly increasing Italians, Japanese, Poles, etc. being generated because I love it when I get a 1st line Italian player.

try this one as well
that's how I play

No hit grind on any line
No uasge of PlayerScout and scouts in the game (even of the draft, so you draft unscouted players)
Players budget always 30 mln. This way you cannot sign players for more than 5,5 mln per year
No RFA UFA signings
If you have RFA you do not trade them for picks
No extra practice
No IR activation
Players can play only their natural positions
Other teams news unavailable (so you cannot see whom they praise from the draft)
Signing bonus is no larger than offered salary
