Good day to you all. @Members As the 1st step of voting for the seasonal Fredrik Elmebeck Memorial Trophy, every member can nominate one other member who they feel demonstrated great work ethic, passion for the VHL, and/or made some notable contribution which in your eyes made them stand out in S85. There are no restrictions on who you nominate, but we will not necessarily vote for someone in a position of power. This should whittle it down to a few candidates which the BOG will vote on prior to the off-season awards ceremony. To nominate a fellow member, simply fill out the short form linked here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJPx5UPU1SZzkYQJvHObB9RxF7S4F9vDf2MkLceh_glyJMXQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

1 and 2 week suspensions for that is actually wild. Probably gave the posts more attention than they would have otherwise got as well.

More importantly, do you have a vulnerable heel?

wow this is some old boys talk here

I think I'm most offended by the hairline.

Acyd is a dangerous man to co-commish with.

Should've joined sooner

I hope my lax draft approach isn't the only thing you took away from the rare opportunity you had to learn from one of the greatest GMs of all time...

Disappointing lack of Cast

Oh yeah when people asked you for results but there was nothing you could do about it until I sent you them lmao good times

I don't think he ever ran trivia (don't think anyone did after I quit) but otherwise looks good, thanks.

Don't think there were any other takers so all yours. Think we're all up to date once that's done.

excuse

Yes, since the dawn of time. Always difficult to maintain motivation post draft as Eno said, especially if you're not hyper active and putting up very little points in the VHL. The idea for the E was to give those players a more enjoyable experience rather than being buried on a VHL depth chart (whilst also giving the VHL breathing room and letting the high end members reach their full potential). If that didn't work then that's a shame but just means that the reason for the falloff is less about in-sim production and more about 4-6 months being a long time to get any tangible benefit out of the league. In any case, the league ecosystem relies on some players stalling earlier, the model wouldn't work if every single draftee got to 1,000 TPE. And whilst the reality of the E having more inactive players than the rest seems bad at face value, the whole point of it was to be the KHL-esque league where the less good players go to die (whilst still being a short stop in a successful career for those who go on further). We don't want those players in the VHLM and there are way too many of them for the VHL. So in my eyes the E is doing exactly what it was designed to do and those that don't think so either 1) didn't understand that was the intention or 2) believe in the sustainability of infinite VHL expansion so will never be convinced otherwise because it's the polar opposite of the view that the majority took and that's just life in a free speech society.

Surely that is by definition a recreate?

What a lovely source you unearthed there with 2 beautiful shots at both Shawn and Dil hidden between some juicy facts. Masterfully done.

go for it

I'm sorry that I couldn't be there in person, to award you the Chershenko. Congratulations on winning the most important VHLM award.

And of course the team you beat to win your Continental Cup as NY GM! (for those unaware NY used to be good)

I'm gonna put Hogan and Dood back out there unless I've missed them being posted? So all of these up for grabs: Players Hulk Hogan Groovy Dood Battre Sandstrom Roque Davis Builders Josh Solas

Over/under 4 seasons until @thadthrasher is a jaded wreck of a GM?

you calling the don @Frank a rookie? smh
