Week 2/ Last Week Claim

Honestly, the title is a little click-bait but the idea that I had was I wanted to give a little shout out to some great people from S66 who pushed me or helped me or just influenced me in some way. Hunter Hearst Helmsley/ @Beaviss- You knew you were going to get mentioned. From the time I started in the league, you were at the top of the draft, and you never have left that top spot go. Honestly some times I wish you would just chill and let me be the top guy from S66 but I think that will never happen. It actually has been great having you there pushing me to do everything I can to get more TPE and try and edge you out. It's funny thinking back when I first started and I used you in so many media spots or vhl.com articles as inspiration for Freeman to just try and be better. Honestly It's great that we are teammates now and are able to do some great things on the ice. Also, Beaviss your just an awesome person who I am great to know and have had the pleasure to have dinner with. Jet Jaguar/ @gorlab - Honestly since our days in Halifax it has always been great keeping up with your career and what you do on and off the ice. It's honestly great to have someone neck and neck with me in TPE and I feel like it has pushed me to keep going more times than not when I see you get higher than me or close to me and I just have to push back. Honestly, you are one of the best graphics guys I know and I am so happy to have been given a sig from you. It makes me smile every time I look at it and It just makes me hope that one day we can be teammates again either with these players or some future players. It was a shame we didn't win together but I still love seeing you do so well. I think what you for graphics is wonderful and that you keep pushing the envelope of what we are capable of. Shane Mars/ @Spade18 - Like Beaviss you were top of our class when I created and didn't slow down until you left. It was crazy for me to think of you two as rivals but it pushed me to where I am today. We didn't talk much but I know how it is with life sometimes even when you don't know some people all that well they can still push you in ways that you were not expecting. I wish you a great time and hopefully a great player with your new one. Hope everything is good for you in the future. wether you know or not you were a huge inspiration for me when I was starting in the league. It was a shame when I head you were leaving and it made it really hard for a while to find a closer competition than HHH, just glad Gorlab started catching up to me. Shawnomir Jagr/ @TheLastOlympian07 - Great teammate/linemate whom I did not know that well before we were both selected to the wolves. So glad to have an all S66 line with you and HHH. With you though we both knew the struggle that it was in our first couple seasons here. Life was hard as rookies but we stepped up and got shit done. I'm glad to see your numbers get where they should be based on your skill. Hopefully, we continue to have good seasons together and maybe get more cups in the future. I know its tough sometimes being on the same line as me and HHH where you often get the short end of the stick, but I am glad to have you as a linemate and hope that we can continue to thrive and do great things on the ice. Apollo Hackett/ @Renomitsu - I remember when we first starting talking around the time of the draft. You were worried about dropping to the 3rd or 4th round due to school but Riga took a shot you with in the 2nd. They were silly to have waited that long. Every team was silly to pass on you. Also I always think of and am happy for your kind words with my mock drafts when I did them. Also was always happy when you wanted to do your own with some of the work I did. Hopefully we can still team up sometime in the future. I just want to thank you so much for encouraging me with those early pieces you were always there to give some positive encouragement and it really means a lot to me. Dimitri Volosenkov/ @SirRupertBarnes - You are not active anymore but I still miss you. You were my captain in Halifax and my first competition in the depth chart. I will never forget the kind words of encouragement you had for me that honestly keeps me going some days. If you ever do come back I hope that I can help you the way you helped me soo many moons ago. John Frostbeard/ @FrostBeard - Another person who I have always respect for the hard work they do on and off the ice. I always loved what you did when you were your own media spot but now that you are running the VSN with Bana it has been great watching you and your team do such great work. I hope that I can continue to work with you and build better stuff for you and your team to continue to do more wonderful things for the VHL as a whole. I see your leadership there and it makes me smile to see other people care so much about the VSN from our class and It just warms my heart to see you helping new people get excited about things. Hopefully this next year I can take another step up and get back to writing like I used to more. Words: 1000+

This week's log is brought to you by "Lots of Stress From Work"... Do you have a job that you need to keep paying the bills? Do you have a job that keeps you up at night? Do you have a job that even when you are away you think about all the time, then "Lots of Stress From Work" is just for you. After that word from our Sponsor. Our update this week is kinda sad. Life have been stressful from work, the holidays have been crazy with family and just trying to keep my head above water. But I'll share some things that are going on. Updating: Honestly the thing I usually love so much kinda made me sad this last week, or was it a few weeks ago. Either way there was an update that went back and forth a bunch and ultimately ended up not being my call but caused a lot of stress because I just want to help people get their TPE and it kinda made me feel like if I don't just rubber stamp some updates people will be upset. I didn't know what to do but honestly it was some of the most stress I have had to deal with in this league. I try my hardest but that was stressful and honestly made we want to take a step back for a little. Luckily it was weird holiday time so I was able to get some rest and others did a great job filling in where I normally do a bunch of updates they filled in the gapes. Thank your updaters if you have not today. VSN: I know its playoffs and holidays so hopefully my stuff will help eventually and maybe they ask for more and other cool stuff but for the time being Im just waiting to see what they need and want to do. Draft Rankings: I have the data I need to start doing the older rankings again just need to finish the front end code to get the right info to display depending on the settings. Should be good soon. Just need to get a little time but our sponsors are always doing their stuff. VHL: We are in the second round of the playoffs our team is tied 2-2 and its hard to just sit and wait to see what is going to happen. Hopefully we go far but who knows anymore. And honestly its tough I'm at my final build basically and idk if I'm going to be putting more tpe or just full on fight depreciation.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Another Week another time to talk about whats going with me. WJC All things are done for this and I honestly think it went really well. Working on rehashing all previous player stats in order to provide and update the ultimate list so that in the future it is just updating. The code for that needs to be retooled, from what I am currently working on but if It is done correctly I will be able to get every game stat from all s20+ Should be good to give to teams and players as a cool way to track all stats from any index. Hopefully have enough time to get that done this week and be able to start looking forward to next season where Hopefully I can get approval from the BOD to do some cool things. Updating 12 Days of Christmas and Theme week has been a lot. There are always updated in the queue. It has been great seeing what everyone does since I have to look at it with updating anyway. The thing that was the best this week was looking and seeing all the people who donated to a cause of some kind. I'm glad that this community does great things like that and I'm just happy to be apart of it. VSN Working on things to make my tool even better for them. Hopefully I get more feedback in some capacity. I could make just about any tool they want or can think of but as of right now I know they are busy so hopefully what I make just helps them get what they need done faster so they can spend more time with their families. Draft ranking Updating every now and then. I need to double check the last bit of code to make sure that it all works to release the old rankings again. Hopefully people are excited and care about the work. VHLM Mag So I am almost done with the tool to pump these out weekly hopefully next season. Will make that a fill in the blank for some fields and give a small editorial and we should be able to have them weekly so that people can point to them more often. VHL: I think I won the goals award which is nice. Got on the all-star team but other than that I don't expect any other individual awards this season. Having HHH as a line mate basically means he will probably always win MVP if its between us but that the rub. Honestly I think I would be 3rd at best this year for MVP.

Wolves Answer 3 for 1 TPE 6 for 2 TPE 1. We have a number of teammates who could win awards this season... Which teammate are you most excited for? 2. Which teammate will FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY the most for awards season? 3. How did you do this season based on your goals? 4. How do you think the wolves will do this post season? 5. If we go far it will be on the back of_________________? 6. What is the most important thing for our team to do to go far this postseason?

VHLM Players Answer 3 for 1 Capped TPE or 6 for 2 Capped TPE: 1. How did you do this season? 2. How do you think you will do this post season? 3. Which teammate do you think is the MVP of your team? 4. What do you think is the your best game this season? 5. What would you consider a win for your personal stats this post season? 6. What do you think is the most important thing for you to work on this postseason?

Post in this thread to claim welfare/pension for this week.  If you are claiming welfare/pension, you cannot claim any 6 TPE Point Tasks for this week (Media Spot/Graphic/Podcast) or League jobs paying 6+ TPE.   VHL Welfare Plan - Members with fewer than two 400+ TPE players may claim 4 TPE VHL Pension Plan - Members who have created two or more 400+ TPE players may claim 5 TPE VHL Affiliate Plan - Members who post a Point Task this week, in either the EFL or SBA, may link to that Point Task to claim 6 TPE Once you reach 400 TPE with your current player, if that is your second player to reach 400 TPE, you are allowed to claim the pension plan. So instead of only taking in account previous players it also accounts for your current one.   Example:  Green has had Remy LeBeau (TPE: 1301) in the past. Thomas O'Malley, his second player, is now past 400 TPE, he is eligible for the VHL Pension Plan. Note: Welfare/Pension Plan are not eligible for Doubles Weeks. Affiliate Plan is only eligible for Donation Doubles.
