I've confused myself. Did I miss the Lotto or something?

Congrats to both teams! Good luck QUE VS DAV. Gonna be a fun series to watch and write about

Hmm, deja vu. Predicted this result in the mag.

Those are sort of unique ideas. Don't mind them too much. Would be hard to come up with a bunch maybe, but it connects the league and users. Don't mind my opinion though. I'm the dumbest ever

Where did I say "What was your suggestion?" Did you or did you not state we should use a version of another leagues idea because it worked well for that league? I don't understand why you're getting so upset. I haven't called you dumb or anything like that?

1. No. You don't. I never asked for it. 2. What would posting you idea do? Are you suggesting we have to do it simply because you suggested it? Okay, you weren't crying - but did you not say that it was a good idea to do it because another league had been doing it?? Wouldn't that be copying another league?

Also, @KGR, I don't think I've ever disrespected you for anything you've had to offer for the benefit of the VHL. Don't see why I earn disrespect for offer my time and ideas to the VHL. hmm.

We're trying to look for ideas to improve the league and it's activity. For new and old members to enjoy the league more. I'm constantly offering up ideas that could make the league better. How does me stating "themed point tasks" make me the "dumbest person" you've ever met? You must surround yourself with only the most intelligent people (sarcasm alert). The Hall of Fame remark was sarcasm (as was the draft etc). It was mocking your claims that we have to be 100% different. Clearly, the sarcasm in the entire paragraph went over your head and you mistook it for something literal. What ideas do you suggest that aren't currently in the SHL, GOMHL or other leagues? Weren't you the one crying about having one point task count for another one because some football league has that or something? I don't see how we're a carbon copy because we use one of their ideas..? lol I suppose I'm the only one who sees it as a good idea? I guess it doesn't bring activity or enjoyment to the league.

That makes no sense..? So we can't have some themed point tasks, even if it's a good idea? Simply because the SHL has it? @Devise @Beketov please, we have to get rid of the Hall of Fame because the SHL has a HOF. Can we also please get rid of international tournaments and drafts because the SHL has those too. We'll just have players auto onto teams. Pretty sure LR's are at the top on SHL, too. @KGR claims we can't have any similarities so please may we move them to the bottom for the sake of "SHL is SHL. VHL is VHL. Thanks. Right now, go through the media section. You have the same bullshit over and over again. You have statistics out the ring yang because they're the easiest to do. It's the same old dry stuff over and over again. I see zero issue in having some themed point tasks to give the members some "variety" while also not having them struggle to write the same bullshit week after week. Frankly, I struggle to find different variations to write something I wrote 9 weeks ago. What exactly is wrong with having similarities between the SHL and VHL? You do realize, @KGR, that a large similarity we share is MEMBERS? Shall we get rid of those members because SHL is SHL, VHL is VHL?

Members stat hunt for free already. Also, I doubt new members give a shit about stats, nor really know where to look. Sure, it'll help them maybe learn the boards but there's not much significance behind it. Example. How many goalies to Maxwell score in S67? A bunch of members will look for the answers, private message "34" and then earn TPE for that. I don't see a large advantage or benefit for anyone.

@KGR What's funny about it? Yes, like the SHL does. Wasn't aware we had to be completely the opposite of them. I'm almost 100% confident it works for them. It adds variety and honestly, it's a lot more fun to write about some of the topics they make up then the same old bullshit I've been writing for the last 3-4 players. I look on the media spot section and it's the same old members writing the same old articles season after season with small variations to the words and topics. You can only regurgitate so much. The only thing that changes is numbers and names. If it's funny to you @KGR, I'm curious why it is and why it isn't a good idea? I see it as giving a fun topic to members to write about to earn tpe. Something they don't need to struggle with while thinking about a topic and something they may have fun writing and reading. Nothing wrong with variety. Nothing wrong with fun and making light of writing or graphics. Is it the same as SHL? Yes. So what..?

Themed point tasks or graphics.

A 6 TPE activity on top of everything else is WAY too much.. Id say even 3 EVERY week is too much. Id say maybe 1 a week with the additional of season PT's/activities. Also, while the focus should be on new members, it should also be on veteran ones too. I have an idea for a "once a career" writinf thing, but wont release it until @Beketovuts me in BOG

I like the first bullet - though, maybe additional ways to earn TPE should be for both the VHL and VHLM. I gets old doing the same shit week after week, season after season, player after player. A couple seasonal point tasks would be a fun idea. I don't like the second bullet. Sort of silly to have a random draw. Maybe give each draftee a task. Example, write a 300 word letter or scouting report for GM's to know why they should draft your player. Sort of "draft" based task or something maybe? Could be anything really. Unsure on the 3rd one. The GM's could very easily give easy and stupid tasks to their players for the sake of winning or gaining better, stronger players. I see this being something that could be taken advantage of and therefor, may have to veto the idea.

P.S #bana4BOG (now, not later).

@Beketov @Devise Glad activity has the potential of rising in the media/point task section. Next two things I'd love to discuss would be seasonal point tasks (maybe 2 a season - each with a PT head that gives out things to write about). Keeps things from getting stale and having the same old shit again and again. Make it more fun and interesting to write and read about too. Lastly, game threads would be a nice place to try and raise activity.

Not a bad idea and I do support it (and like how it will raise activity), however, I see a lot of people bull shitting their way through it just to gain the easy TPE. Either way though, it raises activity I guess.

Something regarding activity could tie into this. I like that idea. Reward the team or members potentially for this. Though, lots probably still wouldn't give a shit about some arena and such

I was going to go on a tagging rampage and get as many members there as possible, but it stopped at you

Whatever creates activity

What ideas do you have? Let's hear em I sorta agree, maybe. Dunno. Could be something that works!

Hope you consider it and will be considered for it. Also, no. I literally was just going off the top of my head, trying to maybe bring back some old members and typing the "@" sign and letters Missed a couple guys.

@Tyler congrats, dude. @ADV welcome back. Look forward to dealing with both of you!

He's still kicking about, but I do not believe at his activity level he is anywhere close to being an acceptable VHLM GM. And did you not put your name in the hat for being a VHLM GM? Wanting to relocate? I remember your name popping up and such.
