I’ll apply for the position, I’m actively the AGM of New York and would love to try running a team of my own. Would prefer team Asia or World but wouldn’t mind any of the teams.

Hey @chrismac, I'm an AGM in the VHL's pro league, so I can't make you an offer for any teams, I can however welcome you to the league and offer you help with any questions you may have. Take your time considering offers and pick whichever one you feel will suit you best! However, my current player is actively playing for the Mississauga Hounds, and my experience with the team has been nothing short of phenomenal, everybody is very kind and helpful so I couldn't think of a better introduction to the league. Like our AGM Berocka said earlier the program is looking for a cup this year and no better way to make a name for yourself than win the biggest trophy in the VHLM your first season!

I bet if I comment here people will look for new sims hehe

But you're so foolish, you are so foolish, walking into the pit, thinking that I was just going to sit back and take your crap one more time, man. What do you think you are? You ain't nothin' special to me, man, you're a piece of flesh. When I step into the ring I look at that man across the ring from me I say, "Wow, that's my dinner, hm, that's my meal that's my meal ticket, you see, the war I've been livin' on just don't fill me up Hulk Hogan, so I gotta have a little bit more...

I asked the Hounds lockeroom for some questions to answer in a podcast this week for VHL Radio however I am lazy and have now decided to answer said question in a VHL.com article. So, question 1: Guy Saskamoose: Did you ever think hockey would lead to you learning cricket? For those of you who don't know, @berocka is hosting a mostly VHL based cricket sim which is awesome and one of the more interesting experiences I've had here. As for the actual question, I never thought any situation I would end up in would lead to me learning cricket, so no. Gustav: Does being on the Hounds change your former "Halifax for life" mentality? Yes and no, as much as I love the Hounds for their active LR and great people, Halifax has always been my #1 and likely always will. It's okay though because @fonziGG couldn't draft a team capable of stopping Kidd, Wang and Louth. Lukas Schweitzer: How did you react to the news that Berocka is alt-right? I just can't win with these teams can I, Hali is a satanist cult now and the Hounds are a bunch of fascists. Maybe I should just retire again. Lukas Schweitzer: What volcano should we throw Gustav into? Ah, I can remember the name right now, I think it was in Nemo, uhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm gonna look it up hold on... I couldn't find the one I was looking for but there are 5 underwater volcanoes near Australia all named Rumble so likely one of those so Berocka can help us easier. Lukas Schweitzer: What's your least favorite thing about Gustav? God I fucking hate the way his lips aren't constantly pressed against mine like can you believe this asshole? @Cxsquared @GlowyGoat @GustavMattias Somehow this is 290 words so gimme TPEs

The Hounds are astoundingly average on paper I guess

I am a simple man, I see larks, I like

Just giving you a heads up in case you weren’t aware, all the GM replies to this thread are offers, just quote the one you find most attractive and say accept! (Personally, id sign with the Hounds, it’s a great program with an active LR and lots of helpful members. Not biased or anything...)

Excited for the VHL Cricket expansion draft

I don’t mean to be rude but I’m unsure where you grabbed this from, Ive only been AGMing for a couple days so this isn’t based on personal experience, just my take on a current issue. Esso has been nothing but helpful thus far. The rights thing was just for the meme, I was arguing more that AGMs should be treated like actual interns if that’s the mindset we’re going off of Not what I meant by that at all, I don’t expect the league to fire AGMs as they fall under the GMs in terms of hierarchy, but I was saying that if there was a set standard it would make more sense as an “official position”. Obviously the last bit has gotten some negative sentiment from most so maybe that’s an error in judgment on my part but it made sense to me. This is the violence I was looking for

There is a fork of GIMP that is formatted to work like photoshop, I don't recall the name at the moment but I've heard good things

1. @GlowyGoat has the hearts of the people. 2. :DrunkBird: 3. Louth needs to step his game up so we have 3 in the top 5. 4. Always going up baybee. 5. Balentine Kidd we just have that crispy clean connection. 6. It was just one time...

...but not in the way everyone else is pushing them. If you've been active in the discord the past couple of days, I'm sure you've seen bits and pieces of the AGM rights movement, and there's merit to both sides. The issue is everybody is arguing their "side" of the issue, rather than working towards a middle ground. That's what I'm here to do. So with that being said, let's tackle the biggest point of the AGM rights debate: AGM's should NOT be paid. You HAVE to look at the AGM position as an unpaid internship, because that's what it is. You get paid in experience, that should eventually push you into a true GM position in the future. The whole reason this debate is being shut down is the demand for TPE, which sure, I'd like a couple TPEs so I can actually cap, but AGM shouldn't be a paid position. This is true of real world internships as well, you get paid in the experience you gain, and that's what we should expect of the AGM position here. That being said, AGM's SHOULD be an officially recognized position. It was brought up by (I think) Beketov that AGM's aren't a real job, so they don't have access to much of anything besides the GM discord channel. Maybe that's all there is, but if there is more it makes sense that AGM's should be able to see everything a GM does for the above reason. If you're being paid in experience, you should GET the experience. Restricting AGM access to GM materials restricts the learning one can gain from the experience. In that same vein, AGM's SHOULD (at some point in their tenure) receive some from of "training" from their GM's. Obviously this doesn't need to be constant, it doesn't need to be immediate, but GM's should have an obligation to "train" or at least explain some of the GMing basics to their AGM's. If we treat this position as an internship then it only makes sense that some amount of responsibility falls on the GM's shoulders. It's the only fair way to establish this dynamic of unpaid intern in the AGM sphere. And as my final point in the AGM rights debate, AGM's SHOULD have minimum requirements as far as work they will handle. The AGM position needs a base, a ground zero of what is expected of them. There's unofficial requisites floating around from team to team, but an official position requires official rules. This bit may take more time than the rest of the points on here, as discussion among GM's and Commissioner's (and staff) are going to be necessary, but this way both GM's and AGM's have a pretty good idea of what they are getting into. Obviously things like setting lines and advising come as privileges to this position, whereas things like setting pressers would be a job requisite. I figured with how the discussion in the discord was going I'd bring my take out into the open, and bring the debate to the forums where all members will be involved. Violently argue below and whatever. 522 Words

Kind of building off of Gustav, when I first joined in S63 the majority of my content stemmed from my "rivalry" with @Sonnet for who was the better goalie. It gave each of us stuff to write about every week, made the league super entertaining, and the other members got a kick out of it too. It's way easier to power through 500/650 words a week when you write about something you find entertaining. Plus if you make content other people enjoy, you get interaction and responses that will make it even more enjoyable.

For the week of the 29th: 1. After a relatively good start to the season we've been in a bit of a skid, what do you think we need to change to get out footing back? 2. What's one area of your game you think you need to improve? 3. With 19 games under our belts, S68 2nd overall pick Lance Flowers has shown his ability to hang with the pros. How does it feel playing with one of the most prolific picks of the S68 draft? 4. Who do you think has been our season MVP so far? 5. The D.C. Dragons and the Prague Phantoms have been scraping the bottom of the bowl all season, do you think they will break out of the bottom 2 spots by the end of the "year"? 6. The program recently tacked on a new AGM to upper management, is there anything the players want to see from him? 7. If you could change one thing about the league, what would it be? 8. If you follow the NHL, what team(s)/player(s) are you most excited about this upcoming season? 9. Have you ever played Ice Hockey outside of the VHL? 10. What kind of questions do you want to see next week?
