How the hell did they give babadook 98%???? It's easily the shittiest movie I've ever watched. From the very starting scene!

Aleksei Federov. He wants to see what could be done with him

No rush. Take your time

"It Comes at Night" - girlfriend and I rented it because rotten tomatoes gave it an 89%. Now, usually they're pretty good with their ratings. Sometimes, they're wrong too and I've found quite a few where they've rated it low only to find it a very good movie. This movie was shit. Absolute shit. It's up there with Babadook

Totally agree, man! Also may give people a little more time in their "prime". I think it would be a small risk by the league to change the career, but it would pay off. We have the two player thing, so there shouldn't be an issue with drafts. Also, we just have to recruit more !

sa-weet

It seems like the last couple of seasons (more specifically, since Season 50ish), the league has found itself in quite the situation. Members who have been on the VHL since the stone ages have been dropping like annoying, pesky fruit flies in your summertime kitchens. Members who once contributed so much to this site are now either gone completely or logging in and appearing as ghost like figures. Many around the boards have been bitching, whining or kicking up a storm. "The league is dying, the league is dying" one little @Bushito exclaimed. One can't help but think he's a little silly given past patterns of league quietness, but some like @punkhippie and @BobertZ seem to think he's right. In fact, a recent call from @Higgins and numerous members of the B.O.G @Beketov + @Devise + @ADV etc have even come on saying changes need to happen - members need to come together. They've also expressed some things needing to be added or subtracted from the VHL. Others, like the welfare system, also caught some punishment from a wide range of VHL users such as @jRuutu, @boubabi and company. The things we all have been focusing on lately are things we dislike. The fact that this has disappeared, or this went away. We miss them, or her or him. We hate how some people bitch and cry 24/7 and cause shit storms on the daily. We dislike how inactive players reap similar rewards that very active players get. The list goes on and on. In my eyes, it's a flawed system . We list off the things we dislike or hate about the site. I recently posted an article and received so much attention (it shocked me). This is good. Yet, it was bad. We started talking about the we disliked. It instantly and drastically caused a divide among members (something we don't need right now). At a time when we should come together, it seems a greater divide is occurring. We need to start focusing on what good the league has. Thus, here is a quick list of things I enjoy on the VHL (or reasons I log in most days). 1. I love the idea it offers - make a player, not just "be a GM of an NHL team". I've been in GM leagues for years and years now. If I had to throw a number on it, I'd guess somewhere around 8+ years. It's hard to believe given my age, but it could actually be even more. Hockey is a huge passion of mine. I'ma huge Oilers fan and played hockey competitively as a kid and growing up. Being Canadian, the NHL was always a dream in the back of my eyes. Due to reasons left unexplained, the dream eventually faded. This is the closest I can get. Offering a different variety to the normal GM leagues is something I love. 2. The community is much more relaxed than the SHL It seems like all the children go on to play over in the SHL, where we have the more mature community. Sure, it could be because the more people you have, the more assholes you have, but it doesn't overly seem to be the case here. We have a solid group of members. We argue, we bicker. Sometimes we don't get along. I like to think at the end of the day though we have a solid community of people here. This is something that everyone needs to learn to understand. 3. Opportunity I'm a GM. I GM'd Bratislava for 5 seasons and than moved onto the Bears for 8. While we haven't had huge success under my reign, we've had great seasons and the start was a learning curve. It's unlike any other league I've managed in, so it took awhile to gain experience. I feel more confident now. While the role has it's hardships (with fully enjoying players), I love the role and will always give 100%. My goal is to bring a cup to Seattle. What I like about the VHL is that if you want something, you can become it. Updater, GM, commissioner, mag writer etc. If you want it, put in the time and activity - it's yours. No hate, no discriminate. 4. Update Scale I like that shit. Way more than the SHL tbh, but different rates of earning tpe is the one to blame for that. Now, let's see how easy it is for the VHL community to list off something they like about the VHL. AAAANNNND... GO! And with that, claim 6 for Forsberg please.

Rumor, rumor on the wall, what the fuck is going on? Surely there has been a lot happening in the VHL over the last little while - even if things seem stale and quiet around the boards. Big happenings in the VHL regular season seen the Bears get the final spot in the draft lottery and the Wranglers succeed into the first round VS Toronto. We also seen a dominant display of elite talent from quite a few players this season. On the other hand, we've also seen quite the fall of many players or people of importance who once were a large part to the VHL community. So, what the fuck is going on? Predictions + RUMORS baby. Seattle starts trade talks early before the draft Probably the easiest one here, huh? GM Campbell likely has been talking trade for the upcoming off-season since S49. Either way, expect talks to start early and the team be on the prowl to make some moves in the upcoming off-season. Rumour has it (hehe), the Bears will be looking to move a youth player - as well as any and all upcoming draft picks. They've made it known that they're currently in the market for developed, younger pieces or pieces that will help push them strongly forward. Boubabi does the daring and takes over for Davos Rock, paper or scissors, it's a toss up between jardlenuts @JardyB10 and @boubabi for the new position opened up in Davos thanks to good ole @Smarch deportation from the VHL. Me thinks that if this happens, Davos is gonna be a rocknroll force and it could very well happen as I think Helsinki's finally going to go to sleep in a season or two. Punkhippe making some more multis He plans to make more multis in the upcoming recruitment drive. While he says his trouble days are behind him, we feel it's not the case. You can't paint the hammer a different colour, but at the end of the day it's still a tool (get it. Much love to you though @punkhippie). He wants to reign fire down on the league and have one last good HOOORAH before @Higgins final donkey punches his cock off and sends him packing. One less asian rival to worry about for @tfong. Also expect @BobertZ to rip him a new asshole. Lastly, Sterling makes a player. If the goalie amount wasn't abundant, I'd almost like to say that @sterling would have returned as an elite goalie to challenge Wingate @CowboyinAmerica for a couple of his great seasons and career. In fact, I hope he still does it (if he were planning on doing it). If not, I see him coming back as a winger and spending a good portion of his career on either Davos or Toronto. Time will tell. This has been a lot of fun. 1 TPE for Forsberg please (Federov gonna claim Magazine this week @Kendrick) @hedgehog337

Lol

Theyre 450??? Ive been doing 600 ever since I joined? Lol

Clearly it did what was intended, lol.

That's what were on now? I never see the SHL, etc down. We're down once a month, lol. It's veen a complaint from some members. Time to listen to whatever members we have left. What they dislike and then make changes based of those.

From what I'm aware of, the chat is unable to come back due to the sites updated. so basically, those who run this site fucked up and took it away for whatever reason. Is this correct, @Higgins? In my eyes, we swap forums. That's a nice place to start. It gets old coming on somedays and not being able to log in for hours because the shits down a couple times a month. Jcink is a nice place to start, no? I get being different, but hey. We sink or we float, right? Lots of work to move the forums. If that's what we're scared of, we may as well all create a player else where and go inactive on VHL right now.

but no. Not you. You missed the joke.

Agreed, unfortunately Saddening. Really have enjoyed the VHL..

Should claim welfare tbh

Can't protect your records forever. They mean fuck all without any players in the league.

I like the update scale as is now. Don't change it

whatever @KGR said Also liked @Devise with stating PT's/Media = 8, welfare =4 or 5.

At the end of the day, why the fuck would I write 600 words for 6 TPE when I could write 3 words for 4 tpe? We need to find a balance to reward those who aren' as active and those who are. In my eyes, we have a system that works for who are inactive. LEt's maybe find one for those who are. We aren't having an issue with inactivity, Maybe start rewarding people for being active.

I'm almost willing to bet on it.

Agreed though. All members are 100% equal and valued. We need to find a system where both are rewarded fairly. IMO, 4= welfare. Media spot = 6. (600 words is a fair amount). Lower it to 400???? If someone can do fuck all and claim 4? Why am I spending an hour writing a good article for 6? Right?
