  1. Damn soooooooon
  2. Bow towards Artom!
  3. Yeah I love things that reward!
  4. The only issue with it is that this photo doesn't exist. As in I'm not sure where you got a picture of him on the actual ice, he is a benchwarmer with me.
  5. Wow it fooled his own GM haha
  6. It's your flowing hair and chiseled jaw line.
  7. Yeah Jardy do the lotto!
  8. Yeah only because he's active.
  9. Koponen wears socks with his flip flops.
  10. Lineup starts forming....
  11. You're right, which is why I mentioned that Scotty said it was off. So as far as Jardy knew sure, all I did was say that it was off at some point.
  12. I specifically remember Scotty telling us it was off.
  13. Vikings Meute Legion Americans
  14. @CoachReilly I'm just tagging you, no reason.
  15. Yours actually is pretty good. In fact the process of you listing all the links first is exactly how I want @flyersfan1493 to do it. Instead of putting each link and where it is going, it's easier if you add it all up at the end instead of doing it step by step. LINK +3 LINK +3 LINK +5 +11 to ________ is a lot better than what he is currently doing. Also, I'm not sure if they did Grader awards this year but it always strikes me is odd that we did them in the first place.
  16. Like this post and I will wire transfer you a Beanie Baby and a coupon for 2 for 1 Fries at McDonald's.
  17. Yeah similar and actually quite easy. I know you did that last Update which was actually a good idea.
  18. That one is more preference of the person updating, I'll admit. I have somewhat got the whole update scales thing down to the point where they add TPE across scales I just kick in that thought.
  19. Yes that is it. I had stated in the Bernie thread, you just had a hard time with people who try to help you haha
  20. Oh another one we let slip!
  21. Oh damn let it slip away
  22. Updater Job Many times you'll read a story published by a person who has studied or even experienced a profession that many have never put their shoes in. If you read the New York Times you sometimes will read a story published by a Plumber about plumbing and all the wondering little cracks there are in his job. Maybe you have read something in your local paper that is a piece written by a local fisherman telling you the daily hardships of life at sea and what profit he nets from his trips. Well I am here to write a piece on the life of an Updater in the Victory Hockey League. I'll start off by saying this piece will generate some discussion just based on the various extremes it goes and who it addresses. As an example I will let you know that some members will be praised for their updating abilities and some will probably be told to go lie down behind the barn and wait for Uncle Wilson to load his rifle. This isn't meant to insult of offend any one individual but to strictly shed some light on the good and bad things in regards to updating. It's a job that isn't really thankless per say, but one that can be overlooked from time to time. Whether it's off-season updates that drag on for an hour, or weekly updates of a 2 TPE welfare pensioner; this is the piece for everyone. Updating is a job that doesn't see awards much like the Grader awards that come out each year for prized graders. Us Updaters aren't exactly too thrilled about those awards considering the changes to grading have made it a less taxing job than the Updating job, however we go along with it. In fact more members seem to complain about the updaters than they do about the graders (and that's even with Brovy's tardiness on updates). The thing is, a lot of the members don't actually believe their Updater when he says that they messed up or that their player page is correct. It's a puzzling thing to read because often times they either haven't done their math or they simply have no clue about depreciation. However, as someone that has been here since day one of this league; I can tell you that I rarely mess up on an update because the scale and numbers are somewhat imprinted in my mind. The beauty of Updating is that it can go by quick if members simply do it properly, or it can be a drawn out process that really irritates both parties. I'd like to point out @Frank for a second, because if it was up to me I think every member would have to copy his format and great abilities to update. That isn't just a one time thing, because I've updated @Frank's past players too and he always seems to have it down. The goal is to make things as quick and informative as possible without dragging your updates out over 50 lines in each post. The sad part about this is that if a member makes it a real challenge for the Updater, the Updater gets scolded if he just tells the member to bugger off and correct it. To me that has to change because if the Updater who is updating you asks you to simple fit a format or correct something, you do it. Why? Because this is the guy who is in charge of editing your player thread for the file. You choose to be an ass? Well he can choose to ignore your update. It's not really a debate. That leads us to the other side of things and that is shitty updaters. @flyersfan1493 is notorious for simply ignoring the wishes of an Updater, which sucks for him because he looks like an idiot in the end of it. Making your updates go so long when you only have 2 things you are updating is irritating. It's irritating to scroll so damn much just to add 2 TPE to Strength and 1 TPE to checking. Keep in mind these Updaters are not just updating your page, they are updating several dozen pages at a time. The goal is to make it quick and thorough to avoid confusion. Couple things to remember: Label your Links Use the Chain Link button above the post to link Links After each link, press SHIFT ENTER to get to the next line Always list your TPE Check your player page on occasion to ensure you are adding to the right total next update Never list things like this (96 4@4 = 97), instead list them like this (96 + 4 = 97). (@ and an extra number is confusing for an Updaters eyes) Copy @Frank Like I mentioned before, this piece isn't to flame anyone as I know everyone is just putting their updates in, but this is a job that doesn't get a special bonus like the graders and simply collects the 2 TPE at the end of the week for making sure YOUR player is correct for the file. Also just to shed some light on that file, we as Updaters do not touch it. We simple make sure your player thread is ready for the File Updater to come along. On behalf of @Tim, @Dewie & @CowboyinAmerica Thank You, Joey F. Kendrick
  23. As someone who has been here since the start, our lowest points have been when chat is here. Not to say there is a co-relation there, but it's hard to argue chat brought more activity. It's fact, some chat in the chat and it causes for less discussion on the board regardless of if that discussion is Sports, Politics, School or economy related.
