Hello all, since I hate each and every one of you, I have decided to create VHL diss track.

Yeah, but the correct move (IMO) is letting walk on principle. Davos has no other way of getting Alex’s player to the team, he can’t just sign as a FA. If he wanted his own player from my team, I’d make him pay for it. Else he can walk, I’d give up a 3rd in the interest of not giving my rival a free meal.
 
Also I get Riga isn’t competing this season, but they had more leverage in this trade than they seemed to think is what I’m getting at.

McDADDY!
 
Congratulations 🥳  

Hey everyone. First of all, let me start this post by apologizing to everyone that has been affected by my inactivity this past season. I never meant for it to go down this way. VHLM GMs were left with only half of a commissioner team for pretty much a full season. But oh well, what's done is done, and I'm very happy with the replacements the blues have found for @diamond_ace and I. Hit me up if you need anything, @Gustav and @Spartan. I'm sure you'll do a much better job than I did during my tenure.
 
So yeah, there are multiple reasons for me asking the blues to find a new commish to replace last offseason. I've been feeling burnt out with sim leagues for a bit now. Every minute spend on this forum or on our Discord server, answering to constant DMs from GMs and players started to feel more like a chore than it used to. I had simply lost my passion for this league that I grew to love over the couple years. I tried to re-ignite a fire under my ass by stepping down from GMing the London United, thinking it would give me more time to focus on the commissioner gig. But in the end, all it did was give me a chance to breath and see what it was like for me to spend less time here, and more time doing really any other thing, particularly with my loved ones. It quickly sank in that I didn't have it in me to be as active as I used to be, that I needed a lengthy break from it all.
 
On top of that, at the time of stepping down, one full season ago, my girlfriend was about 7 months pregnant with our first child and she needed me more than ever. If you do the math right, well yes, that puts us right past 9 months at this moment, and yes, she delivered a healthy baby on August 20. It wasn't an easy delivery for either of us, well, it was mostly hard for my strong and beautiful girlfriend, I was just there feeling absolutely useless. But let's just say that moving forward, I'm not gonna have as much free time as I used to. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure the two loves of my life have everything they need.
 
So this two-month sabbatical I've been on is gonna be a little bit lengthier. I'm not promising I'm coming back for sure, and if I do, I'm certainly not applying to become a GM or commissioner ever again, but I'm also not saying I'm never coming back as a player.
 
I don't plan on going on the usual "naming everyone I liked talking to" route that people commonly do when they leave long term. Because my memory is hazy and I'm sure I'll forget some people and they'll be mad at me. So let me just say:
 
Thanks everyone I interacted with over the past four years. It's been a blessing meeting all of you. It's been interesting talking about sim leagues, music, gaming, actual sports. It's been frustrating talking trades or contracts with a bunch of you, but it's been fun regardless, and I wish you all the best moving forward. Keep making the VHL such an inclusive community for everyone that has that sports-meets-DnD itch they didn't even know they had. Take care y'all, and tell people close to you that you love them dearly.
 
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, les amis.
McWolf signing off.

it is @jacobcarson877

sorry too much work, denied.

dil fleeced?!?!?!

it is @jacobcarson877

Good news everyone!
 
As you might have seen here, @McWolf is stepping away from the green team. What you likely didn't know is that @diamond_ace  will also be stepping down this off-season after an incredible tenure. I don't think I could possibility summarize how much D_A has done for the league better than his Builder article, so I'll include that for you all to peruse. Please join me in saying, thank you @diamond_ace ! 
 
What this does mean is we have the unique privilege of adding 2 new VHLM Commissioners at the same time! After reviewing the list of candidates that had put themselves forward for the position, we have decided on hiring: @Spartan and @Gustav!
 
Congratulations to the both of you!
- @Commissioner

Doug Matchett has accepted a Signing Offer from New York:

S85: $2,500,000

S86: $2,500,000

S87: $2,500,000

S88: $2,500,000

S89: $2,500,000

two former gms making trade with each other aww so cute (veto moment)

It opens cap space, but the good options for defense are costly or don't have that many seasons left. Almost a win now move with a roster that while good needs to wait for another season to pounce on a big contract like that imo.

Honestly don't get this trade at all... a player that hasn't anything other than welfare/of since March to upgrade a 2nd and a 4th Not sure if I see the upside for London that much

its like pulling teeth @Dil

Not possible, we’ve looked into it plenty in the past to get it to go on the portal or as mobile push notifications through the app, but the resources the forums software provides us to access notifications are heavily lacking
