I congratulated Dooms in private as I handed him the keys to Toronto's discord LR, but I'd like to take a moment to applaud the selection of @InstantRockstar! 

Congrats on a VHL team, bud. It's been a while since we worked together at the management level [and unfortunately this opportunity slides through the cracks again] but I still recall the warm discussions we've had in the past when we were both VHLM GMs. I think you'll make a fine VHL GM in our modern era, good luck and I'm glad to see you finally taking the reigns of a VHL flagship team. 

Nah, he can still claim that. 

Vancouver's lack of integrity by intentionally abusing a system known to break the engine -- something other GMs knew but didn't widely exploit -- will be a significant blight in this leagues' history.
 
"Spirit of competition" should have gone both ways!

S76, maybe you can argue Chicago was 'abusing' 40/99 with four, falling to three beyond 76.

But you went full blown abuse.

S80? 

Seven 40/99 but essentially eight (40/98).

S81? 

Six 40/99.

S82?

Five 40/99 but essentially six (48/99).
 
 
Chicago in 76? Three 40/99 with a close 40/97.
Malmo in 76? Zero, but one close at 50/99.
Warsaw in 76? Two 40/99, one close at 40/97.

Chicago in 77? Three.
Malmo in 77? Zero.
Warsaw in 77? Three.

Chicago in 78? Two.
Malmo in 78? One.
Warsaw in 78? Three.

Chicago in 79? One.
Malmo in 79? One.
Warsaw in 79? Two. 


Oh yeah they totally abused it like you did. 

Totally.

Nah, he can still claim that. 

Vancouver's lack of integrity by intentionally abusing a system known to break the engine -- something other GMs knew but didn't widely exploit -- will be a significant blight in this leagues' history.

This is my notice to the league. 

I am stepping down from my role as a VHL GM at the conclusion of Toronto's season (prior to the VHL Entry Draft).
 
Over the last few months my interest in the Victory Hockey League has taken a steep nose dive, and as a whole I've found myself growing more irritated with the league recently; it has become a chore to login. It's not fair to those on the Toronto Legion, the league or aspiring VHLM & VHLE GMs/the GM wishful that a sitting VHL GM struggles to visits the forum beyond seeing sim results, engaging in minor trades and rarely reading threads. As the GM of Toronto I had massive plans for the second rebuild I had put the team through, I had doubled down on my scouting and was drafting members I thought would be a good fit within our developing locker room. Normally I think someone here would say something along the lines of how they feel bad the Legion weren't in a position to compete, but I'll be leaving my replacement with what I consider a decent young roster.
 
Continuing on:
 
I've come to terms with myself on numerous subjects; as I get older I've noticed I have less personal patience with people, which can absolutely be attributed to the daily stresses I've had [and continue] to endure over the last couple of years and the mental pressure of those stresses; I lack the tact to deal with people and the drama -- innocent or not -- that comes with the territory of being a general manager; and frankly I'm an older soul who has more controversial opinions on the practices and strategies within the VHL.

History will remember me as a mediocre GM with no accomplishments, I accept that, but at least I'll step away with my integrity intact (and the S69 Saskatoon Wild).

Take care everyone,

- Peace 


(To whom it may concern,

Doomsday was hired as my AGM recently, we all know he's a great person and has GM experience with the VHL. I'd like to recommend him for the position if he'd like it, but I understand that decision is not mine to make.)

Close... but not close enough.

I would like to express my interest in the Toronto position. 

I'm just built different. 

For real though, I don't rate games on nostalgia. I've gone back to 'favorite games' like Wolfenstein 3D and the OG DooM and have been disappointed in myself because I ruined memories; put bluntly, the games weren't as good as I remembered them being. I'd rather go by what I know I actually enjoy, games that I can replay because the story is great or the content is satisfying.

Don't worry about it, Nurx's parents don't know he's playing M rated games yet.


My list of particular games or franchises. 

1. Escape From Tarkov
2. ArmA 3 [Modded]
3. Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock
4. Halo: The Master Chief Collection
5. Mass Effect franchise
6. Horizon: Zero Dawn
7. Battlefield franchise
8. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
9. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
10. Wargame: Red Dragon

Congratulations! 

So... Did Shrek teach you about newborns as well the first time around? 

"They just eat and poop, and they cry... and then they cry when they poop and poop when they cry."

Why yes, I did watch Shrek 1, 2 and 3 on repeat for two years.

And Lilo and Stitch.

And Frozen.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. 

 

I probably should have stepped down a long ass time ago, I've felt this toxic grip on me for awhile now... just didn't realize it until the weight was lifted after posting my resignation.

You're partially right, but it's more thorough than handholding and immaturity. Some days it was the leagues inability to forgive someone who hurt or wronged you, instead grudges are kept and mistakes are remembered as deterrents; some days it's the inability to be thoughtful or understanding, instead replaced by personal agendas and fragmented integrity; some days it's the inability of conflict resolution, replaced by blacklisting and avoidance; some days it's the meme culture, or perhaps the very real ostracism that happens at various levels on the forum; and other days it's watching a known exploit be exploited; and more! 

I am both a culprit and victim to the above, I have done what eats away at me.

Kinda all binds together and makes the atmosphere here feel really toxic. I said this in another thread, but I didn't realize that until I had posted my resignation.
