I didn't sign off on that definition of getting Warsaw'd. The official definition is outshooting your opponent by 20+ and still losing, something we're pretty fond of doing.
I wouldn't have been allowed to ask you before the trade obviously because that would have been tampering. And Poptart had no reason to divulge that information because it removed the entirety of the team's leverage in a bidding war. The only thing that would've kept the value in your rights was the worry that you'd sign with helsinki no matter what and for all I knew, they were who I was bidding against.
You were bidding against Seattle fyi, and I'm surprised that trade went through as my NTC was in place. I was not asked if i was going to sign with you and somehow bana was allowed to talk to me yet you weren't. That whole situation made me very uncomfortable and pressured, FA is tough enough choosing between many good options and I do realize I was spoiled for choice but i also work my ass off to be a desirable player and I don't need my reputation getting any blacker over things I honestly had zero control over. for your sake i kept on hoping you would ask to talk to me, but i couldn't reach out and tell you to ask for perms to talk to me without risking you getting hit for tampering anyways. Honestly idk what i was suppose to do, i was screwed if i did anything but sign with you. Maybe that is on me, but trust me I didn't enjoy process any more than you did.

Yeeeeessss! 4th time's a charm. Tried to draft @BladeMaiden, that didn't work bc I was a pick away (so traded down and got Flyers instead, which has worked out well nonetheless).
Tried to trade for the rights when she went to fa the first time, beaten out on that end by the Great Warsawing, which ended up backfiring on them anyway and she went to Helsinki (which honestly, I wasn't that surprised with, Blade's always had a good relationship with Jubo).
Tried to trade for the rights the second time as well. Offered a bit low specifically because Jubo didn't want to Warsaw anyone (which is certainly respectable). Then I woke up the next day to discover she'd been traded, for more than I'd offered but less than I'd have been willing, but no further communication prior to the deal. Missed opportunity, but only by a season as it turns out.
This time, even though it took trading with a guy who typically has particularly high values on his players in Bana (clearly it's worked for him, the track record speaks for itself) it was something I was pretty much dead set on. I don't even think he was intending to trade her when the negotiations started, but here we are. Bit expensive sure, but got it done.
Got to love how "Warsawing" is a verb now... literally if Muff had asked he would have been told that I was going to FA and determined to make my decision on based on my experience. I could have allowed myself to be pressured into a signing, and yes i could have saved them, but I'm not sure how that makes me a risk. I am nothing if not brutally honest.
That being said I decided to make us forum official
Sorry i was so hard to get (But you know that is just how V is ), but you know what they say the good things in life are worth working and waiting for lol

when?
A young boy doesn't want to go to bed. The hockey game is on! “What if I can't fall asleep?” the boy says. “Don't worry,” says his dad. “You will.” After his parents have tucked him in and turned out the light, he shines a flashlight on his prized hockey possessions around his room: the posters of his favorite players, the pennant for his favorite team, the puck. Then he decides to listen to the game on his bedside radio, which he places under his pillow. With the familiar drone of the announcer's voice for company, the boy drifts off to sleep. He dreams he has joined his favorite team on the ice --- where he scores the winning goal! And the boy smiles as the announcer exclaims, “What a play! What a goal! What a game!”

I do have terrible taste so it makes sense that you think it’s good ;p.
I’m a sucker for an underdog story, what can I say!
When I'm not on the OP power waggon I usually like a good underdog as well lol
As far as my taste goes that must explain why i enjoy you so much LMAO never a dull moment with you around and i love it.

seattle: is toxic
also seattle: why is everyone so salty?
Toxic is a point of view thing.
Ask one member and they'll sing my praises, ask another and they'd condemn me. You can point fingers all you want but we are not the "bad guys" for enjoying our win and neither is any other team. Can it be rubbing salt in a wound in some circumstances? You be your ass it is! but guess what? That is part of it. I've been here for 3 years and it's been this way from day one. You can choose to be salty, you can choose to take a loss with dignity, you can choose to gloat or offer the glove and you can even choose to be a whiny pain in the ass... you do you
but if you try to rain on my parade, i'm just gonna dance in the puddles

Listen...I'm just going to say just as some hope for you Chicago...a Phoenix does always rise from the ashes.
If only our sim gave a shit about lore or logic...
You would be better off telling them to try to steal whatever lucky bear paw @Banackock has been hoarding for 10+ seasons. Honestly at this point I'm starting to think Bana and Simon having a torrid love affair lol

Review:
How many ways can you love a graphic? let me count the ways with this beauty. I honestly don’t know if i just love seeing Hilary this much or if it is that your seamless graphical stying that gives me the chills. Yellows and browns can easily get muddy but you managed them beautifully in this card! Thank you for taking the time ti honour a significant playoff memory for my player!
9.5/10 the .5 off is because i wish we were still on the same roster, i miss ya bestie!

The latter would be fun! And just, I try to flame @Zetterberg every episode I do.
Alternatively, we can duet an episode dedicated to flaming Z!
I’d be down to do that, if you think the vhl could take that kind of heat.

I used to be notoriously bad for last minute PTs, or ever so slightly late PTs. I try not to do that now, AND YET…
Anyway, 0/10, criticize members more in your reviews.I can’t tell if you want to fight or want me to dedicate a podcast to flaming you?

This is clearly a beautiful graphic, I think this looks polished and that it has everything I would be looking for in a stylized graphic. Colour work is really great. Everything looks so smooth buttery and rich, you have a lot of dark's and lights playing well and i love the end effect.
9/10 keep up the great work

Review:
Hello Frank, we meet again! TI really don't have much to critique here, your render looks hella clean. and I like that you used yellow in such a big way here. The play with the colour blocking and texture is really cool. It plays even better with the fade out text that honestly looks pressed into this graphic. Over all this things is clean and punchy, if it was mine I would be showing it off to all my friends.
9/10 Literally the only thing i don't like about this is that it is better than my graphics by a landslide

- There is something about a Davos Uniform that will always scream "I am le trash"
- Well when i wasn't on Seattle i would have said Seattle @Banackock but i guess Moscow going away on a "long trip" wouldn't make me sad either @Spartan
- Leering, and just weird amounts of eye contact and intense focus.
- @Jubo @rjfryman @Ricer13 and @diamond_ace, this is the top of a very long list of amazing VHLers i know.
- I think it was a Galaxy fold, the screen fold on it ...
- Sam Smith, i jut hear him and think... "wow this music is blah" but if you love his stuff you keep doing you.

Did I not add in that you ask for perms to talk to me ? I totally meant to make that clear.
You have nothing to apologize for Muff, any other season that move would have probably worked out as I honestly never stopped feeling bad about how it went down. I don't blame you at all, you were a new GM and we had enjoyed talking. You have a bunch of my long term sim friends on your team. Why wouldn't I sign? It was a pretty calculated risk and If @Jubo wasn't leaving Helsinki I would have ended up in Warsaw, hell i almost gave him my best wishes over it because i didn't want this kinda story line carrying on in the future. Congrats on your win in Warsaw, you deserve it. Just proves nothing can hold ya down Muff.
We'll see if i can stop putting money on the wrong pony with V or if I'll effectively move her away from anyone who wins lol
