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

I did not consent to my likeness being used on the internet.

It's not MVP though Papa just put up the 7th best save % ever

Vote for who you think was individually the most outstanding player in the VHL in S84. @Members

He reached out to me and said he was too embarrassed and flattered and shy

Thank you all for your nominations. The following users received more than 1 nomination and therefore a place on the BOG ballot. @Arce @jacobcarson877 @Ptyrell @Shindigs and receiving 1 nomination each were @Alex @Beketov @fromtheinside @Gustav @hedgehog337 @Jubis @leandrofg @Ricer13 @Spartan @youloser1337 Well done all - as always, DM me on Discord / forums if you want to know the reasons given for your nomination(s).

Davos beating Riga regardless of how shit they've been in recent seasons - a time-honoured tradition. The VHL's most lopsided rivalry gets even more lopsided.

Yes once you and the rest of the spoiled children told us after it was announced Ultimately you think I'm the 2nd coming of Stalin and I think you've got anger issues - this conversation is a bit pointless, no?

It's the first Sunday of the playoffs, so in time-honoured tradition, it's Elmebeck nomination season! @Members 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 S84. 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/1FAIpQLSc-dhsVcXOt9-5YO5wJNf7KEpbuv2AVZ30EHdOYs-6VWgjGQQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

They were not - not that you've ever let facts get in the way of your faux outrage. Anyway I believe at the time I said show me someone who's actually offended by it - clearly we've found someone now so rebrand them or whatever, I don't think anyone else is particularly attached to the franchise. It was an easy solution matching a popular city with an existing logo and I'm sure a solution exists for a new name, new city, or new team name entirely.

Nah that's still Bek

Squeeze in a Davos shoutout at all costs, captain.
