  1. While the percentage hits appear to be harsh on the surface, as long as Warsaw and Calgary maintain their actual lotto position in terms of not being able to fall beyond a certain pick I'd say this is a decently fair punishment.
  2. and I was the werewolf the whole time
  3. I like that the theme week this week is about FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY, primarily because you can write the word FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY and the site will automatically turn your one word into six words. Now that’s efficiency. Of course, I’m not going to play some crazy games here and write like a 100 word VHL.com where I just go FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY and easily cheese the word mark like that. I probably could, but in this case, I’m not going to. I’ll still write it out to be 150 words prior to the filter doing its thing. But now it’s just going to look like I really went above and beyond, getting like 200 or more words put into this blurb that’s loosely based around the FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY word filter. My cat tried to jump on my lap but I was too close to my desk and she could only stand on my stomach; she wasn’t a big fan of that. Anyways, Aeschylus Jigglejawns CXXXVII II is doing pretty good, he even passed 200 TPE this week so he will be graduating to the VHLE next season.
  4. 1. As we near the trade deadline, how do you think your player has performed this far? I think Jigglejawns has played pretty well so far, although he seems to have tapered off a little bit. 2. What has our strength been this season as a team? Looks like we've done a good job this season so far of spreading the love. Everybody's contributing well. 3. Have you done your theme week post yet? Yep, just finished it. 4. How do you like your coffee? With as much stuff in it as possible to make sure it doesn't taste like coffee. 5. What is the best ice cream flavor? Cookie dough probably, or chocolate among the more conventional standard flavors. 6. How could you say anything but strawberry? Strawberry ice cream overrated af tbh
  5. Hello. I am somebody who is known by quite a few titles in the VHL circle. I am muffins, I am sniffum, I am a former pretty bad Vasteras GM, I am a former pretty good Warsaw GM, I have been FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY out of consideration for GM of the year, I am a VHL Hall of Fame Builder, I am a GFX maker, I am pretty irrelevant to the modern scope of the VHL considering I was gone for quite a while. But one distinction I have that not a lot of people might know about is that I played a pretty big hand in the FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY meme becoming a thing in the league, some ten years before the term meme ever came to be used as it is today. But before I get into that, here’s a little bit of context and prior backstory that honestly mostly serves to pad the word count. If you don’t really care about this part (and you really probably shouldn’t), feel free to skip ahead a couple paragraphs where there will be a nice convenient tl;dr. Anyways, we begin our story some time in 2008 or so; I was 13 years old, and had been active in OOTP 6.5 players leagues that I had found on a complete coincidence for close to a year at that point. Somebody joined one of the leagues I was in and made graphics that far blew away what everybody else there was making, and they said they had honed their skills in the VHL. That interested me enough to check the league out even though I didn’t (and still don’t) really care at all about hockey. I created a new player with my name, did one point task, and promptly went inactive, going into my draft with a whopping 6 TPE. Calgary’s General Manager at the time was looking for somebody to draft in the 3rd round (a wasteland of inactives at the time) and saw that I put my screenname on a popular instant messaging service on my VHL profile, so he reached out to ask if I’d be active if he picked me. I said sure, so he drafted me. He boasted a few times around the league that he got himself a massive steal late in the draft, but I never even logged in to sign my contract, let alone earn any TPE. A few weeks later I was released and that was it for Damien Walec. A few months later I recreated in the league as Optimus Prime. I stayed active enough to earn some TPE, including writing a biography that was essentially me transcribing the Transformers Wikipedia page and then adding on 100ish words at the end about Optimus Prime deciding to become a hockey player. I earned enough TPE to be selected in the 2nd round by Helsinki, but by that point I had once again run out of steam and ended up falling off as an inactive. From there, because I was still young and dumb, I figured nobody would want to touch any of my future players with a 10 foot pole because of my history of going inactive, so when I wanted to give the VHL a third shot I decided to come back with a new alias rather than using my old username. Tl;dr my first couple VHL players didn’t go well and I worried I wouldn’t be taken seriously as a user and a potential player unless I re-joined the league with an alias. My third attempt at a player, Joey Clarence, was part of the S18 Superdraft that probably played a massive part in helping the VHL last past some of the doom and gloom that comes along with being a league driven by about 30 active members or so. Still, despite the fact that I was actually earning TPE at a strong rate, because I was in the eyes of others a new member in a draft full of good recreates, and because of the fact that I was a goalie in such a strong goalie draft, I wasn’t seeing a lot of attention being paid to my own player. I also decided that it’d be good to try to switch things up and have some fun with stuff considering playing things more as myself the first couple times around resulted in me getting bored pretty quickly. So, I ended up going around to threads, generally media spots but at times just any thread at all, that didn’t mention Joey Clarence somewhere within them, and just commenting “šnubbed”. I did it quite a few times, just fucking around, and eventually people took notice. It was kind of hard not to when being the best team meant you had 6 active members on your team; when that’s your league setup, one person commenting the same thing in tens of threads a week is going to get peoples’ attention. Eventually the commissioner of the league, Slobo, who himself was apparently running quite a few multis to make the VHL’s rough active user numbers look a little less rough, decided to make a podcast talking about some things going on in the league. In the podcast he mentioned how annoying he found the whole “šnubbed” thing to be, and somewhere within that he mentioned FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY. From there, the word filter was put onto the forum and longtime members rejoiced every time a new member would use the word FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY somewhere in a media spot or a post only to be flabbergasted by what it changed to. So yeah, that’s really it. I annoyed some people by trying to be a troll and putting FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY in threads all over the league and eventually the filter to make it FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY was implemented and subsequently carried over to every new iteration of the VHL forum that came along after. My attempts to continue trolling ended with me outing myself pretty stupidly (@JardyB10 was the one to figure it out), Joey Clarence ended up being one of the last active players selected in S18 but I stayed active and had a strong career, then went on to make my first and only VHL Hall of Famer on my next player with Tukka Reikkinen. Long enough for 2 weeks of claims
  6. My main character complex is through the roof right now
  7. The border is from a stock and I don't feel like turning the stock into a brush tbh
  8. 1. We are about 1/3rd of the way into the season. Is your player performing how you expected them to? Aeschylus is playing pretty well down in the M so far. He's ready to keep up the positive momentum and make it to Bratislava next season. 2. Our goaler Jonny Elgar leads the league in save percentage and goals against. How important is an elite goaltender to the team's success? Our goalie tandem have both made big contributions to the team and that's playing a big part in the team's early success for sure. 3. If you could be any animal, which one would you be and why? Humans are animals too so I have a lot of experience being an animal. I'd probably want to be a tortoise so I could stay grounded and be old as shit. 4. If you were stuck at burning man, what lengths would you go to to survive? Survival is the name of the game. If I was stuck there they'd have to change the name of the festival to burning men by the time I was through with em. 5. Are you a beach and ocean type person, or more of a woods and lake type person? I'm mostly a wood type of person in the sense that my desk is made out of wood (I know I know, rich guy flex) and I like being at my desk. 6. What is your favourite nostalgic media to consume? I don't eat media often but when I do definitely TV shows. I rarely watch new things and would prefer to watch something like Breaking Bad or Always Sunny in Philadelphia for the 10th time instead.
