That was harsh, I liked the episode. But, I think it was the weakest of the battle episodes yet. Maybe too predictable? I dunno, I feel a bit unfulfilled. And I don't like the question marks over lack of Stark male heir now.

Raised this in admin forum yesterday with the public vote clearly two thirds in favour.

Hmm. England looking increasingly lucky to get that late goal against Wales. Still favourable draw because of how Group B is set up. It's one of Austria/Portugal/Iceland (maybe Hungary I guess. And very unlikely to be Portugal). Followed by France almost certainly. So quarterfinal exit then.

HOLY FUCK. RECRUIT!!!!

I may have had sympathy back in the day of meaningful grading, especially the day of 8 or even 10 grades for 1 TPE. But why are you even grading more than you need? PTs are just auto 6 so it's not like you're holding anyone up? Just do your 8 when you feel like it and call it a week. Alternatively, bring back the old scale. Seriously wtf, people get paid 1 TPE for writing 4 lines now? I think we should scale back to 8/10 TPE per grade.

I'm just happy Albania finally scored a goal. Group A very much Group AIDS though.

I did gud.

Opened this and thought it said 1-0 Titans, almost cried.

Life goals: make Black Velvet physically sick.

But defence means nothing in the VHL. Especially in the ASG.

Week 4 is now open! From now on I will start including the following disclaimer: No question ever asked in VHL Trivia requires the use of season indexes. Anyway, number 1 to 4. PM. Me. Go.

BTW I realised what we should have checked lol.... http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/220-s14-champions-new-york-americans/ close enough

I am quite confident this episode will be the equivalent of Blackwater (S2E9) and the battle at the Wall (S4E9). As for deaths, unfortunately I expect only Ramsay will be one I'm looking forward, with 3-4 others cancelling it out.

You have only your GM aspirations to blame!

Not really. All they saw were dragon skulls in the throne room and as Tywin once said to Joffrey, the smallest ones were the size of his fist or something. So to them dragons were an extinct myth which failed at coming back before.

We would have played in different periods anyway, might as well combine forces for once. Our time will come.

It's trade deadline day and to be honest, it's likely to be another non-event. Seattle has traded off most players of value and all five buying teams, the ones hoping to play in the S49 finals, have 1.5 million in cap space or less. For once though, that's not a bad thing, because Season 49 has been very active in the trade market, ridiculously so. A whopping 14 trades have taken place this season, much more than anyone could have predicted in pre-season. There were a few selling trades involving Stockholm and Helsinki which were lined up before the season started for cap purposes and things got a bit more interesting when Davos had to find suitors for the disgruntled Bobby Digital and Tobias Klingberg. But the market heated up when two key events happened: Seattle decided to pull the plug while in fourth place, while Davos decided to go for it in the weakest European Conference ever. In the end, we have a seriously stacked top three in North America and an actually interesting battle between Cologne and Davos in Europe. As for that total of 14, well that appears to be a VHL record. No other season (not including off-seasons) has seen this many trades occur while games were being played. The peak post-expansion came in Season 39 with 11 trades, mainly the result of Vasteras and Riga trying to win a cup (Davos got into the finals without making any moves). This was followed by 10 trades in S40 as Quebec, Helsinki and Riga (successfully this time) got some rental players. Before expansion, there were less teams and for a long time little incentive to wait until midseason to trade (mandatory percentages only came in after S22). Only two seasons had got to double digits before S31, with 10 in S21 and S6. Good job GMs for making Season 49 interesting and already record-breaking!

maybe I will
