A Theoretical Addition to the VHLM Waiver System
ShawnGlade replied to Will3's topic in VHL.com Articles
It's not a bad idea, but it would more than likely create less parody, and we'd see a lot more teams go back-to-back just keeping the same roster. I do like the idea however, the only way I can see it not being effective is a lot of the time, teams will pick a previous waiver addition in the draft anyways, so the teams that don't get a lot of waivers end up with the same players anyways. The bracket system is also nice, but I think the ranges are a little too high, it's overpowered to have someone at 149 tpe and only spend a third on them when a player like that would be a 1st rounder if they're active. And It's honestly only a matter of time until someone abuses that and tells the member to not claim in order to keep a higher draft pick Honestly I'd be interested to see how this works in a real scenario -
I'm confused, why is there such a big drop off from 3 to 4? Does this only take goal differential into account?

I have a Major problem with how the VHLM waiver system works
ShawnGlade replied to nurx's topic in Media Spots
It's been dealt with so I'm not trying to start anything else or really talk about it more, but that's a legitimate issue the league has. Joining the discord is appealing, but it's fucked up how you can have these 14 year old members who are trying to be "edgy" and swaying impressionable new members before GMs or anyone serious gets the chance to make a legitimate effort -

ShawnGlade replied to nurx's topic in Media Spots
I am able to take a step back and realize that the incident itself is funny when you think about it, but it's also not funny that a GM did that and changed the outcome of a situation that they had no part in and frankly should not have been involved with at all -

@Ahma I really did my best with Davos. People loved to hate on me (some warranted, some not) but we really did build a stacked team, we even had a deep playoff run in that window. But having.....certain drama players.....and getting fucked by STHS coupled with the "meme crowd" era starting, I just couldn't take it much more and mentally checked out

I have a Major problem with how the VHLM waiver system works
ShawnGlade replied to nurx's topic in Media Spots
My man, you are talking directly into my soul My biggest issue since day 1 is the VHLM is a faux development league. The commish and all the GMs claim it's pure development, but that is absolutely not the case when there's a disproportionate amount of waiver signings and draft pick trading. Yes, I do agree that bringing members here from other sites or outlets means they should sign with your team, but we've seen with quite a few teams, that their first-gens just follow their lead when it comes to position and build, and that's why the same teams are competitive every year and magically have a million waiver signings. Also a magical coincidence that all these players go inactive after they win a VHLM cup and move up to the E. Not to bring this up again, but I definitely am. We recently had an issue where I had a player set to sign with me, I even said PUBLICLY, "I'm at work but in a short bit ill send you a contract when I'm home." I come home to not only find out that they chose not to sign with me, BUT THEY CHOSE DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE ANOTHER VHLM GM TOLD THEM MY TEAM SUCKED. I'm not gonna go off about how good my team is, but we were in first fucking place, it's absolutely unacceptable that another authority figure would influence someone who doesn't know any better like that. I also find it appalling that said GM only got a slap on the wrist, especially when this GM has started controversy previously. I mean, how is it any different than tampering? On the topic of Halifax getting so many waiver signings, I'm 110% certain there are behind-the-scenes conversations between GMs and waiver players. I do not think it's a coincidence that the same teams have the most waiver signings season in and season out. I've changed my waiver pitch, and I've even offered first fucking line minutes on a competitive team, and you're telling me every single player is magically ok playing 3rd line on a middle-of-the-pack team? Bullshit. So yes, I agree wholeheartedly, this league has to pick a direction, either admit that we don't care about development or take steps that don't handcuff the teams that aren't blessed with 15+ waiver signings a season -
I see how it is.

This summer marks 5 years since I joined the VHL. Crazy because that's only a fraction of how long the league has been around. Hell, I've met some people who weren't even alive when the VHL started, what a crazy thought. It's kinda cool seeing what's changed in our lives since joining. I much like Bek was still in highschool, never kissed a girl and hadn't done much in my life. And don't get me wrong, 5 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things and there's more for me in-store, but it's cool looking back on the person I was 5 years ago knowing that I'm still GMing Halifax or still figuring things out
