Didn't realize Zabby wasn't on the Jolt Juice Roster page, good looking out

This announcement doesn't really affect anyone except @DollarAndADream and @VHL GMs. It is an official ruling on how Sebastian Ironside will finish out his career. Last season, there was a decision made that he would be allowed to continue his career until @Devise's GM Player, JB Rift, was called up to the Toronto Legion - as per the provisions of the old GM Player rules. As such, Devise planned to leave Rift in the VHLM during the S64 season, and recall him for the S65 season, effectively making S64 Ironside's final season. This decision was made prior to the new rules regarding GM Players came into effect. As a compromise, given the new GM Player rules in place, we have decided that Ironside will be allowed to play this final season with Toronto, but, rather than being forced to retire, he will become a Free Agent following the S64 season. In allowing this provision (given that the new rules state a former GM Player must become a Free Agent in the Off-Season prior to the New GM Player's first season), Toronto will not be allowed to recall Rift during the S64 season (should he cap out of the VHLM prior to the start of the season, he will have to sit out Season 64). Ironside will also be barred from returning to Toronto, or any team he is traded to at any point during S64, until the S66 Off-Season; as well, he may not sign an extension with any team he is under contract with during S64. For example: If Toronto trades Ironside to Riga during the S64 Season, Ironside will not be allowed to sign an extension with Riga, or sign as a Free Agent with either Toronto or Riga until the S66 Off-Season. Should, for whatever reason, Riga decide to trade Ironside to New York, he would be barred from re-signing with the Americans, or returning to any of New York, Riga or Toronto, as a Free Agent, until the S66 Off-Season. This effectively maintains Ironside's status as a retiring asset for the S64 Season, while allowing him to continue his career moving forward. Signed, @Commissioner

I mean, the point of the VHLM is to get new players onto teams and learning the league (if they are first generation players). Obviously, Gow's been around before, but you guys should still be offering new players an option for playing time to close out the season.

Yup. 10 assists ago I was leading the league by a fair margin. Now I'm 15 back of Bassolino for the *checks notes* Beketov

Gah, dammit Quebec, you weren't supposed to lose this one too

Woooooo #TitansStronk

Feels like my first big game in weeks, now time to go back into hiding lol

I might be able to afford a 4th for Kingfisher to backup Peppermint, but McWolf is just a bloated contract, you’d have to give me a 1st to take him on!

...I only count 5 logos ? (6 with VHL, but that don’t count)

87' Canada Cup was Lemieux's breakout, 63 Sponsor's Shield will be Bailey's!

VHLM totals say otherwise ?

Helsinki Titans Press Conference Week Ending: November 25th With the trade deadline passing, which team do you think is best prepared to take the Continental Cup this season? Of the players atop the VHL's Goal Scoring leaders, who do you think will finish atop the league at the end of the season? With 4 points separating 1st from 3rd in the VHL Standings, which team do you think will win the Victory Cup as the league's top Regular Season team? American Thanksgiving is nearly here, do you have any plans to participate in Black Friday sales? With all the recent talk of the Sponsor's Shield, which brand do you think has the best roster? Who is your early prediction for the Daisuke Kanou Trophy as the VHL's Playoff MVP?

Thanks everyone for applying! For now, we will be hiring @Enorama and @Sonnet. We will be monitoring the workload as @McWolf, @Beaviss, @Beketov and I step back from updating such a heavy load, and if necessary, we will open the position back up.

Yeah, like Tagger said, you can continue approving when you're updating the rankings, but given that the bulk of updates have been approved by people who are not being paid to do it (You, Beaviss, Beketov and myself), I'd like to transfer the bulk of updating to other members who are being paid to do so. For one, it's not fair to you to be doing extra work if it's not needed, and for two, us taking the bulk of the updates means there's not much left for those who should be doing them.

Just got hired, and already looking to outsource his job

@Poptart has been hired in this role. Thanks to everyone who applied, there were a lot of great candidates, and we are still looking to find ways to create more jobs around the league - right now, we are hiring at least one more updater, so feel free to apply for that position, if you think it's something you would like to do!

With @McWolf moving on to the Recruitment Staff, we're looking to bring on one more Updater. Pay is 3/TPE week, responsibilities include:  - Monitoring the Portal's Update Queue for pending updates  - Verifying links, TPE amounts, and nature of TPE claims - Properly processing pending updates by approving, denying, or editing them  There is no set pay structure for this job such as "x updates processed = x TPE". The expectation is that you check the Queue regularly and do a some approving whenever you have some spare time. It's very much a team effort and obviously this is not a job where you can just do some work on Monday and be done with it for the week, it's an ongoing and never-ending task so if that doesn't sound like a good fit for you, you probably should not apply. Yes, I shamelessly stole @Will's posting for the job from the last time =]

SUMMARY

Fixed

Good to know, new players should be created as S65 now

He should, yes. That’s gonna have to be a @Will or @Beketov thing in having he portal automatically output as S65. I can manually change this one, but I’m not doing it for every player ?

Yeah, you're talking about a Brand roster, so that's fine. If you can tie it in with a prediction or something for the tournament at the end, even better!
