Hello @Members! We actually did this ahead of time, go us I guess. So to start off with, yes Trade Deadline is Thursday, January 23rd at 3pm EST which is a little bit different than usual. As the season was pushed out 3 days from it's usual Wednesday start, the TDL will push from Monday to Thursday to ensure we're consistent on how far into the season it occurs. To accommodate this shift we're moving the S99 Creation Date to Monday, January 27th. This means that anyone wishing to re-create for the S99 draft can do so starting at midnight that day. --- Because this slight variation of our season schedule has caused a weird amount of controversy, you all have made our jobs of picking a theme week quite easy this season. The theme for S97 is: Since theme week overlaps this TDL, this gives you a unique opportunity to propose which trades will happen, critique the trades that did happen, or maybe write up the ones you wish had happened. You'll have a few days on either side to pursue whichever angle appeals most to you in a Point Task format of your choosing (Media Spot, Graphic/Video, Podcast). --- In order to claim the theme week bonus of 6 Uncapped TPE, simply submit your Themed PT (Graphic, Media Spot, or 6-TPE Podcast), and claim it as normal. After claiming the PT portion, you can use the same link, and claim the uncapped portion as follows: Claim Uncapped > Other > Doubles Week. (Note: you do not need to post your link in this thread to claim either portion of TPE). If you have already submitted a Point Task for this week, or are in the midst of claiming a multi-week Media Spot/Podcast, you may still submit a Theme Week PT this week, and claim the capped portion on the next available week, following your multi-week claim. Also, if you have a single job that pays 6+, you may claim the theme week bonus as long as you complete your duties for the week. If you are in the SBA and have completed their most recent Media Week, you may use that to claim the Uncapped theme week bonus, but a PT must be completed this week in order to claim the Capped portion, whether that is completed here or through Affiliate Welfare. Note: Only players who are S98 or older may claim the theme week bonus. @VHL GM @VHLM GM

I'll add a deadline to the original post.

Thanks for letting me know, I reduced it to 4. Copy paste error I guess.

A slightly delayed Happy New Years to all @Members! Thank you all for your generous donations over this holiday season. As a league we've collectively raised $2270 (with ~$800 donated to the league and $1470 coming from external donations to your chosen charities). This means that for the total for the 2024 Holiday Charity drive is $3270! Note: I convert all external donations made it other currencies to CAD to calculate these sums. Some housekeeping math and receipts: You are likely wondering where the uncapped is at so I'll get to that as well, normally I'd tell you to refer to the first post in this thread to get a handle of the prizes for each milestone butttttttt we're making some slight changes this year. We (for some reason) had always decided to include the league match in the milestone calculation over the past however many years and we're going to remove that. Every milestone will be nudged down to make it fair as future drives likely won't have the same match. We also had to come up with additional milestone rewards which have now been added: Unfortunately we didn't make the last stretch goal (rip @samx) but the items we all DO get are: 12 Uncapped TPE PT Doubles Week @Nathan_8's NHL 25 event @Banackock's wholesome holiday movie Jackass (Bana edition) coming Dec 2025 @Beketov likely attempting to mate @Acydburn and I in a Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate stream @Josh reading a small selection of his son's favorite bedtime stories on stream Please claim your TPE and Doubles before or on the week ending Jan 19/2025. Things will be scheduled over the coming weeks likely to spread out the joy, we'll try to make sure everything is added to the forum calendar and the Discord events a good amount beforehand so everyone can partake. Awesome job everyone and we should all be proud that as a community we can come together and do our part in helping those in need. From the Blues: we hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and wish you all the best in the new year!
