i would honestly never had guessed. Good job Rocka

We are not supposed to do it before our draft season. We are S72, so that would be next season (or in the offseason, I guess). I can't speak for others, but I'm over 250. Doing this will just give me more banked. Mine wasn't approved yet either, but if it's declined, I'll claim again in the offseason. Claiming it now, if you are not capped, would give you an edge over other in the playoffs. I'd just claim it again whenever you are eliminated.

+/- is the worst stat.

Steambot Simulacrum Hornet Las Vegas Aces | | #19 Center | 6'2" | 212 lbs Strengths If there's one thing that SS Hornet has learned throughout what we could now call a hockey career, it's that shooting the puck at the net often leads to goals. It possesses a deceptively quick wristshot and a strong, yet precise, slapshot, reminiscent of NHL legendary centre Steve Yzerman. Its selection of shots are borderline unfair, as it can count on finely-tuned hydraulic pumps to trigger them, making them significantly more powerful. The question was brought up to the commissioners of both the VHL and VHLM, but both levels determined that the leagues were all-inclusive and, as long as Hornet didn't turn into a killer robot, it would be allowed to play. After all, it wouldn't be the first time a non-human plays in the VHL (see A Red Guy, Elasmobranch Fish and many others for history context). The steambot has also been known in its short time with the Las Vegas Aces for its impressive defensive awareness. The fact that everyone of its movements on (and off the ice, for that matter), are determined by a complex algorithm help it counterattack quickly when faced with any type of defensive situation. It can quickly breakdown the three types of actions that the puck carriers can do: carry the puck, pass the puck or shoot the puck. Its constantly evolving program quickly learns the strengths and weaknesses of its rivals, making it easier for Hornet to successfully predict their next move after only a couple of interactions between the two of them. After a while, the robot's memory became a video game-like database of every player it has ever played against. Weaknesses While it may be seen as an offensive juggernaut, Hornet still has issue predicting what its teammates are going to do when they are not in possession of the puck, making it harder for the steambot to setup passing plays with them. In fact, whenever it has the chance, the Canadian centre usually drives the puck into the offensive zone itself and shoots the puck as soon as it has a slight chance of scoring. Its vast array of shots is dangerous, but since it's its only weapon, it makes it a one-trick robot, easy to predict and easy to defend. However, its algorithm is constantly evolving and, at some point during its career, it is bound to figure it out. Playing with a regular linemate for many seasons in the VHL might help it develop faster into a great playmaker. Another aspect of the game that Hornet seems to struggle with is its general level of aggressiveness. As a former steamboat workshop worker, the steam-powered android has been programmed to act and react in the most pacific way possible, regardless of the situation. While most of its algorithm seems to evolve as it experiences new situations, on or off the ice, its aggressiveness seems to always be at the lowest, making it seem scared to pick battles along the borders. The good side of it is that Hornet rarely gets called for penalties, giving it more time on the ice to help its team. Overview Sure, there are still some flaws in SS Hornet's skillset, but when's the last time a player was drafted and immediately stepped into the VHL as a superstar. While it's undeniable that it has the tools to score goals at any level, scouts doubt that its low aggression-style of play will help its team when it's up against the best of the best. It's a red flag that's hard to not consider, especially when you remember recent lottery draft picks Nail Yakupov and Alex Galchenyuk, two tremendously talented players that were scared to go in the corners and play rough, who ended up never playing to their full potential in the NHL. Howener, Hornet still has time to fix its algorithm before it reaches the VHL. It'll be interesting to see what team ends up taking a flyer on what some consider the '70's cheating pile of metal plates'.

Welcome in the league, @Calvgang69. You got about 2 weeks before the draft to start gaining some TPE and get acclimated to the league. Contrary to what others may tell you, every team is a good place to be. Good luck and let us know if you have questions.

That's not how you play the game.

need one of @a_Ferk or @Berocka to seal it

wow I forgot those. Vote LastOneUp

why me though?

He finally stopped trying.

If I had to choose our lynch from what we knew before today, I'd go with LastOneUp.

McWolf the Bodyguard N1: omg N2: jailed N3: Mike N4: Barzal N5: Barzal N6: used my vest, hoping the mafia would target me as they seemed to avoid all of Berocka, Mike and Barzal. Wouldn't have changed a thing anyway, the last one was in jail. --- Not gonna lie, we probably need to go 2/2 in lynches. My hunch is the two that Barzal saw at one point. We know LastOneUp visited Barzal on N5. He claimed Bodyguard, which would make it our 3rd BG claim and 4th TP claim. He has also claimed in his Last Will to have visited a bunch of random people really, he never went on Mike even if he asked for TP to go on him a bunch of time. We know a_Ferk visited Mike on N3. He claimed Doctor, which I wanted to believe, but now we're down to the wire and everyone is back to suspicious in my mind. Both Barzal and Mike have burned, so any of them could be the Arsonist. As for PB, really anyone could be it, it's hard to trust people anymore.

?

Saskatoon is ready!

DC 3-2

You have the option to sleep on it and try again tomorrow. It's the night. We're not supposed to talk in here until Gustav announces it's the morning.

at this pace.. Joe?

Go with your guts. If you say where you put it, you give the opportunity for evils to counteract.

But overall, really, I trust Mike, Berocka and you. Others are all kinda sketchy to me.

That doesn't mean much, it's just a feeling, but among barely active players I trust Ferk and Spartan more than I trust any of Blade, LastOneUp or Joe Exotic.

UNVOTE LastOneUp VOTE Joe Exotic

Ferk visited you N3 iirc. But trap went off on N4 so it's not him. I believe Ferk could be the doc that saved you.

First sim when?

1. Definitely thought we would do better than that. But hey, all that matters is that we made it to the Spring Dance. Now we get to show the cards up our sleeves. 2. ng1291 went first. He was drafted two season ago. 3. Most definitely. Team boomer! 4. He should do something dumb. Like bet thousands of dollars on virtual marble races. 5. Grilled cheese. Easy. 6. We rarely talk about the defensemen, but I think our top 4 did a great job this whole season. Some have tons of blocked shots, some score as much as our forwards. They deserve some praise.
