Hi everybody,
 
As many of you are aware, this week is Theme Week, with the S78 Trade Deadline coming next Monday, June 14th, at 3PM EDT.
 
This season's theme will be VHLE. Write about the VHL's newest league, create graphics for it, do a podcast... As long as your submission is about the VHLE, it qualifies for the theme week bonus.
 
In order to claim the theme week bonus of 6 Uncapped TPE, simply submit your Themed PT (Graphic, Media Spot or 6-TPE Podcast), and claim it as normal. After claiming the PT portion, you can use the same link, and claim the uncapped portion as follows: Claim Uncapped > Other > Doubles Week. (Note: you do not need to post your link in this thread to claim either portion of TPE)
 
If you have already submitted a Point Task for this week, or are in the midst of claiming a multi-week Media Spot/Podcast, you may still submit a Theme Week PT this week, and claim the capped portion on the next available week, following your multi-week claim.
 
Also, if you have a single job that pays 6+, you may claim the theme week bonus, so long as you complete your duties for the week. If you are in the EFL or SBA, and have completed their most recent Media Week, you may use that to claim the Uncapped theme week bonus, but a PT must be completed this week in order to claim the Capped portion, whether that is completed here or through Affiliate Welfare.
 
Note: Only players who are S79, or older, may claim the theme week bonus.

Pride month is here, and I (like many others) am eager to have a month dedicated to celebration of my personhood. This can be a really beautiful time for people to be happy & proud of their gender, sexuality, romantic interests, etc., and I am so thankful to live in a society where I can (relatively) safely express Queer identities.
 
Pride month is not simply a month of celebration - in fact, it can be a very traumatizing experience for individuals who don’t feel safe enough in their environment to come out. Many people - more than we know - are living in households, cities, states, or countries that pose a serious threat to individuals who don’t fit into the heteronormative or cisnormative constructs that we have created.
 
If you have never heard about these demonstrations, I strongly recommend that you check out this article by the History channel. The Stonewall riots were a response to the routine, discriminatory raids by police in queer spaces, specifically night clubs. Crossdressing was illegal during this time, and police would conduct abrupt and violating on-the-spot investigations of people who wore clothes that aligned with a gender that did not match their sex. Finally, after a particularly disgusting raid at the Stonewall Inn, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two trans women of color, "began" a revolutionary movement pushing for gay rights like the United States had never seen before.
 
Our month of Pride is rooted in decades of collective trauma among queer people, especially people of color. While the US has made some great movement toward equality and justice for these people, we still have a long way to go. Discrimination and oppression of Queer people, especially those who are not white or white-passing, still exist and run rampant all over the world. This, I’m sure, comes as no surprise to many people.
 
There are still countries where members of the LGBTQIA+ community are criminalized to various degrees - from the death penalty to imprisonment to conversion camps to fines, the world can be a very dangerous place for non-straight, non-monogamous, and non-cisgender people. Individuals and groups are collectively punished simply for existing in a way that doesn’t fit the mold we have created. It’s also important to note that colonialism has had a significant hand in creating these types of environments.
 
Human rights should not be political. It’s outrageous to me that humans are oppressing other humans because they exist differently, and people in power (both socially and politically) use that power to try to control things they have no right in doing so. Oppressed communities have to be loud about their existence because, as we’ve seen in the past, our systems want to snub those voices out.
 
It’s also worth noting that, fundamentally, you do not support the Black Lives Matter movement if you do not support Queer Black people. That’s not up for discussion.
 
The month of June is one of Pride and celebration while also a time for serious reflection about not just ourselves and the communities in which we live. It’s a great opportunity for learning, and I encourage everyone to do so. There is no “right” way to be Queer, and there are a lot of aspects of human life that fall under the category of queerness. Sexuality just scratches the surface.
 
As always, if you have questions about anything I’ve said in this post, questions that you are scared to ask but want the answer to, or just someone to talk to about these topics, my DMs are open (both on Discord and here on the forums). I will say that, if you’re looking to argue or fight, please don’t waste your time sending me a message. Finally, hateful comments won’t be tolerated.
 
Black lives matter. Queer lives matter. Spread more love.

@sterling can you send $121 CAD (100 US), got a 1-year discord nitro to keep the perks we've got in the server.

Also just got my first VHL point.
 

Round 2 - West Division

Yeah, I look at the E as a competitive mid-tier league, moreso than a developmental league. By the time a player is there, they've already got the hang of things and don't need the bump to move faster through the league.
 
One thing that the E does bring up is VHLE Lifers and the definition of inactive. If someone gets to 400 TPE and decides to park it there forever, they'd end up counting as an inactive under the current definition. I was going to suggest making it hybrid, and saying 30 days no updates or forum posts, but maybe the more elegant solution is to create an "I'm here but not claiming any TPE" button on the portal? That way it keeps the automation of marking members inactive without forcing people to earn in order to maintain active status? (@Josh I assume that's easy enough to create?)

I'll allow it

The 2nd round will be broken up by division, as each matchup is set, starting with Round 2 - East Division.
 
Moving forward, I will simply update the OP and make a new post with a link to the newest form to fill out. Each form will be closed approximately one hour before puck drop of Game 1.
 
Reminder: Please use exactly the same username that you submitted the Round 1 form with (I'm hoping that you all submitted using your exact forum username), so as to make it easier to calculate scores once the Finals have completed.
