Gudnason

I like how I have managed to be here on and off for 10 years and how there are some great people. to the second point, maybe the shl needs a prolonged dose of Anderson

Which also goes back to me not putting in any effort in real life and expecting huge gains

Maybe I just can't accept failure, or not succeeding. Maybe it's because I don't succeed enough in real life, I expect that I'll have to succeed in a sim league to make up for it.

While @Higgins is mentioning how one of the biggest issues moving forward is to increase interest in doing PTs, I would like to take it a step further and say we need to find out whether or not the current rate of TPE gain allows for rookies and sophomores to be relevant players on non-shit teams. I realize not everyone can be a superstar, but people like @Corco it must have suck to seen Schmeckeldork play like shit in his rookie year with the amount of TPE he had.

3rd?

Wut

I think that ship has sailed now even with the good guys that are @Higgins and @boubabi on Helsinki, my drive to commit to the VHL is steadily decreasing day by day.

Cologne fans rejoice you weren't included with the trash that is NYA and STO

@Gooningitup sorry how could I forget you it was a blast being in Vegas with you and Vegas will sorely miss you next year. You made things lively in the LR and in game threads

AY AY RON too @boubabi you loser only played like 20% of the season on Vegas. well me playing 20% of the season on Brampton with guys like @Beketov was dope too

So this is going to be a casual article @eaglesfan036 style where I might as well bank one TPE for Rudi Ying since I'm taking a few minutes to type this. For those that have not noticed, I haven't done much point tasks recently, and even if I did it, I didn't update them onto China's face of the country. It all boils down to I'm just doing point tasks for fun, because I want to write about a particular topic, or I find some interesting research I want to dive into like @Strtlght. It's not really much about progressing my player, because although that's the point and sole existence of the VHL, at times the community and the people here are way more relevant and worthy than the dullness and repetitiveness that is the sim. When I was GM, I didn't understand this and I reached out really hard to semi-actives to try to convince them that all it took was like 5 minutes a week to do welfare, fantasy, and freebies and they could still be a useful depth player. Well, although no one is convincing me yet, it'd be a tough fight for them to win now because I have lost pretty much all the motivation and desire I had for this league... The last few seasons, my happiest moments have been on Vegas, and not only because we are winning, but because the LR is decent at worst and a party when it's good. It's been good to play and hang with veterans like @der meisterthis year and in the past, people like @Smarch Rusty Trombone as an example. Then you have people who are semi-active in public but actually are quite active in the LR like @Ahma Diego Jokinen who was a blast to be on a team with. And it's also nice seeing new guys here enjoying their time and bringing the same passion and excitement we all once had, guys like @Beaviss @Spade18 @Sullvino of late and in the Robbie years it was people like @ADV @Frank @Tyler @BOOM that kept me here for so long again (sorry if I forgot you). The deadness I can come on after a whole day and barely see any new topics, the emptiness on game threads other than simple meaningless spam... that hurts and it slowly kills the league. And no, what doesn't kill it doesn't make it stronger... ok ok this is way longer than I wanted it to be and needed to be... punkhippie out and 1 banked TPE to Rudi Ying

How the heck is 150 per season even possible. Please break it down. 9/week for 8 weeks is 72. I don't see how predictions and other crap can more than double that.

I find it amazing you have time for other leagues lol

@Beketov when the hell were PTs worth 4 TPE? They were 6 as far as I recall from when you took steroids.

God damnit Gudnason you're not supposed to be passing the puck to @Gooningitup it's not like he is passing the puck to you. Maybe I should go through the stats some day and see how many assists Gudnason gave Komarov and vice versa lol

No joke. If I was still managing Cologne, I needed someone who wouldn't ditch after three seasons lol. I also know I haven't been the most active here lately, and I do apologize to you personally, because I do know you miss the smack talk between Vegas and your Ottawa/Saskatoon.

LOL if I was still GM I would have probably taken either you or Casey Jones first overall if I got it.

EFL-style shoutbox! Fuck @JardyB10 and what he thinks lol

@Pablo

Whoever takes Cologne, go win the lottery and continue the legacy by surrounding Keller with talents like Lyle Smallwood, Misha Tobolsk, Drahoslav Detlev, and Nino Gisler.

Still not catching it

Seems amusing coming from you lol
