Re: section 1
I've always deferred to Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance on that one. True tolerance must necessarily exclude tolerating the intolerant, because intolerant ideas will eventually tear down tolerant ones and take over if allowed to take root. I'm firmly on the side that bigotry and hate are 100% to be kept out of the community, even if it means we go against the purest form of "free speech" in doing so. We're an independent community, not beholden to anything larger than that. A city might legally have to allow a permit for a neo nazi rally for example, since they're an extension of the government - we don't have to do anything of the sort.
This as a default for me as well. There's lots of havens out there for people to think and say what they want. We are under no obligation for that to be in our spaces, affecting members ability to simply exist in our league. Rule changes for more "free speech" in these instances are rarely about equity and more about enabling assholes anyway. We aren't telling anyone what to think only to show common decency and manners.

@VHLE GM Hey hi here is your tag, apologies that the index was a bit late but we are nearly ready to get started here. We have Wildcard action to get us started with Geneva and Vasteras going head to head. You guys all know the drill send your lines in via the portal and if you have any other notes or changes to make that aren't there shoot me a DM. We'll get going as soon as I have lines from both Wildcard teams. Have a good playoffs everyone.

INDEX
Sorry it was late but the index is indeed here. @VHLE GM You all should know the drill but if not, lines get sent to the portal and are input into STHS before each sim. If there are any roster or player issues just let me know. As always, if you acquire a player and the index has yet to reflect this, you can always put a bot in it's place and send me a DM with your line notes. Looking forward to another good season here everyone.

It's that time of the season again yet again, boy oh boy do these seasons ever blow by....anywho; PLAYOFFS. @VHLE GMDoing the tag since 5 of 8 GM's are in the playoffs and it's easier, sorry to the 3 of you whom didn't make it, better luck next season. You should know the drill GM's lines go in the portal, a reminder to make sure your sending lines in with this indexs league file, not the regular season one. I see a stagnant set of lines sitting in the portal that'll likely not work. We got Wildcard action starting off which is a Best of 3 between Istanbul and Oslo to see who moves on, all the other series will be a best of 7.
That is about it for me have a good playoffs everyone, let me know if you have any issues or concerns as always.

@VHLE GM Here just in time for tomorrows season start is our index. GM's should know the drill send your lines in via the portal and feel free to liberally use bots and send me notes in cases where players aren't in the lineup. With that in mind, rosters were what I saw on the roster pages today so if there are any start of season hiccups or players missing let me know.
Schedule wise, we do have a bit of a change. While teams will still be playing the same number of games, with the addition of the Wildcard round (it happened last season too but the regular season index was not properly adjusted to reflect the change to the number of teams who qualify for the playoffs) all the teams needed to be lumped into one giant division and Conference to allow STHS to accommodate an uneven number of playoff teams. This means that all teams will play each other a minimum of 10 times, with each team playing their remaining two games randomly assigned. However the Wildcard round and stats will be included in the playoff index as was intended this season.Thanks for indulging my rambling, lets have another solid season best of luck to everyone.

Actually scratch that; I should be able to swing 9. I'll send roles out sometime Thursday here so any stragglers have until then to get in. I'll list the changed role minimums for the smaller game in the opening post.
-
Womp womp. Sorry all, I may see if I can tweak things to work with 9 but we don't have enough to get a game going as the rules are currently stated, sadly.

Sitting at 7 signups currently. I'll leave this open another day or so, 12 is our minimum to get started so I'l leave signups open for another day or so so we can at least hit our min. Thanks for signing back up btw everyone, it's appreciate after the hiatus/last game.

16. @AdvantageMass tagging the folks who played in the last game that was run to completion. Was burdened by a lot of stuff when I was running this last time, so I wanted to give a nice long break to make sure the next time I ran it, I had the time to commit to it proper. So here we go, is anyone still interested in giving this another go? Recruiting for Game 4 now! Just reply here to sign up.

Bump to this. The index is up, Vasteras won the Wildcard Round and move on. Next round to begin tomorrow everything operating as normal again so index will be working as intended from this point out. Thanks.

Hey hi. So an "awesome" thing occurred where nobody on the simmer team seems to have realized that the Wildcard was added to the E and that the playoff seeding format had changed. Well I can't speak for Bek but it's his off-season and he hasn't done VHLE ever I don't think so it wasn't on him anyways. Due to this, we cannot add the Wildcard round to the index, and stats from the Wildcard round won't show up in the official playoff index after it is played.
If you want the STHS explanation, under this new format the E should only have one division, however it currently still has two in the index. This can only be changed before a season is started in STHS. While we have two divisions STHS will only hard allow us 2, 4, 6, or 8 teams qualifying for playoffs. So there is no way for us to have the Wildcard play out properly in the index as we would normal. This will be fixed for next season when the index is created correctly.
Now what does this mean for you our @VHLE GM specifically the teams that would make the playoffs in this new playoff format. Well simple, the two teams who would be playing a best of 3 in the Wildcard, in this case the Stockholm Vikings and Vasteras Iron Eagles will be simmed in an Exhibition series. The winner of that Best of 3 will go on to play the overall #1 seed the Oslo Storm; as well as Bratislava Watchmen playing the Cologne Express in the second round. For the Wildcard round both Vasteras and Stockholm GM's can feel free to send line via the portal but you won't have an accurate league file to pull, so just use the end of regular seasons.
The Rome Gladiators who would have made the playoffs under old conditions this season have in fact missed the playoffs, as with a Wildcard round crossover is in full effect. Sorry for the confusion and the mishap that occurred.

@VHLE GM It's playoff time, so for the four GM's that did make the playoffs here is your index and your tag. For the other four, my sincere apologies, may simon grant you a better S86. Lines in the portal as usual, games will begin at some point here Friday when all lines are in. Have a fun playoffs everyone.

Also important to remember that some users are actually interested in creating a career E lifer, so they can also look/seem more inactive and actually be where they want to be.
