After an atrocious season by Astro Singh he has some how, some way, managed to get a call up from London United. When we could up with Astro, it was fair to say that he was shocked when he saw the press release on twitter. However, with the standard ESPN tweet, he noticed there was another tweet that gained more attention, and put a spotlight on him in a way he had never experienced before. "I was getting out of bed after a weekend bender, still drunk as fuck and all of a sudden I see this "ye" motherfucker tweeting about Jewish people and me getting called up. I didn't know what to make of it." We were confused as Ye, formally known as Kanye West, has more than likely never watched a game of hockey in his life, however, Astro Singh has seemed to caught a stray from his recent twitter rants. When asking Astro on how he felt being called out by such a public figure, he had a lot to say; " I hope he makes a song about me. You know there would be nothing more bad ass than rocking a diss track made about you by one of the world's most famous artists. I also, however, think this guy is off his fucking rocker. If he wants to come to London this season to watch a game, someone tell him I have two tickets waiting for him. Hopefully that will open his eyes on how good I am and can be in the future. Who knows, maybe he even offers me to be the first athlete to wear Yeezy skates? Actually scratch that, Jordan's are better anyways and I think we can all agree on that." To prove him wrong, Astro will need to do some major work this offseason as he will be limited in minutes and be playing with competition that is vastly greater than what he is use to. It is known that his defense needs improvement, and needs it fast. With only 16 blocked shots all year last season, he's lacking on a big part of the game where he could have an advantage, and that is his speed. Another area he looks to improve on heading into next season is his scoring. His scoring has seen steady improvements which the small sample size we have seen so far of his play however as we know, the VHL is a whole different animal and he will be needing to prove himself night in and night out to keep his roster spot, as well as advance in the line-up to get the 1st line minutes he desires going forward. There is a lot to live up to for this young 18 year old, lacing up the skates to tackle a league full of grown men. With the attention he's drawing, not only from the league but from the public, its safe to say that Astro loves the pressure and looks to prove everyone wrong going forward in this league.

It's 2022 and there isn't a hockey team in Delhi and it is outrageous. This all may change in the coming seasons. The steam has built up for the Delhi Pickles and there is no better time than now to be on board as the Pickles have all the Indians they could possibly need on their team to begin a movement like no other. There is only 3 ice rinks in all of Delhi, 2 of which have been inhabited by homeless people. However the 3rd, is the gem. The team plans to play at least 2 games there this season to build up the hype for a possible move. They have recently released their Diwali special edition jerseys as well which have gone over very well with the league as well as all of India. One thing to keep in mind for the players as the rinks are built in Delhi, DO NOT eat or drink any rink water/ice. You will get sick. You will shit yourself on ice. It's a given. Please keep a big pot and a portable propane stove with you at all times so you can boil everything before putting it in your mouth. We look forward to seeing you all, in Delhi for the S96 home opener.

Looking back on this season, it was a disappointing one for Astro Singh to say the least. With 20 goals and 20 assists, and well below a point per game average, Astro Singh looks to make his rookie year in the VHL a good one. He knows that he will need to have his head in the game more next season, as this season he missed weeks of practice or partially practiced. Coming into the season he was on pace to cap out the VHLE, however he is now just shy of the 400 cap mark. This development was a sure let down for London who had high hopes for Astro heading into his development season. However, Astro wants it to be known; he's back and with a authority. He is ready to take the league by storm and reach a respectable 500 heading into his initial VHL season. His progression will be one to keep an eye on.

1000 so 2 pts

Hold on we're in the playoffs im drunk

Great piece here. It's pretty difficult to use between colors like the ones here but you did a fine job my friend. My only complaint would be that I feel like this sig needs more lighting, whether with more stocks or with some contrast brush work to really have there be a central focus in the sig. There's a slight monotone feel to it due to this. I like the contrast in text, I feel like it goes well together and sets a good balance within the sig. Well done overall! 9/10.

Review: This is a great piece. I like the colors used and I feel like they blend in with the render very well. I do feel however there's some spots where the sig has been cleaned up too much of the white splatter and in other parts its in excess, so I would try to clean and even it out for the most part. I feel like the text is very well done here and fits the overall style of the sig as well. The border was also nicely executed and gives a bit of a throwback to sigs back in the day that used a similar style. This is a solid 9/10. Good work!

With the season coming to an end and playoffs coming soon, some have wondered where the heck has Astro been and why has he drastically fallen off of his training. Well ladies and gentlemen, life. Life has gotten in the way as for the last month there has been an accumulation of tasks with work and life that hasn't allowed Astro to perform at his peak. With the bulk of that behind us now however, Astro is ready to do some damage heading into next season. Piling on almost 80 unused points earned, he is ready to make the noise that most expected to see during this season, for next. He'd like to apologize to his teammates in Vasteras. He knows that if he had used those 80 points sooner, the team more than likely would be playing in the post season now as they only missed it by one point. "I'd like to say I'm super sorry as I feel guilty that I'm the reason we more than likely didn't make the playoffs. Having a 380 TPE player instead of a 300 TPE player throughout the season would have made a huge difference during our push and I just wasn't there to be a help."

Or just quit being a bitch its honestly not that hard

Could we Change the Game in Online Simulations? With the use of crypto and NFTs hitting an all time high in 2020 and 2021, it appeared to many that it would be the way our world would work going into the future. However, with the inevitable economic crash, not only has everything gone down in value in our day to day lives, so has the crypto and NFT craze. Even with the entire crypto market being in a low spot now, using this time to think of a way to implement it's uses into our league may benefit the league long term in terms of it's real dollar amount revenue and it's ability to stay alive long term in a sustainable fashion, that doesn't rely on donations by our members. There would have to be many steps for this integration, and in this piece I will jump into some of the things I think need to happen before we can even consider this a possibility. The other thing that will need to occur is compliance. How much will our community actually rally behind something like this? Would it be worth the effort that we put into it long term. Finally, every plan needs a safety net, what will those be in this case and, once again, what would be the sustainability of it. First lets look into the introductory measures that would need to be taken place before this could even be a possibility. There needs to be a use. Making and NFT is a lot of work, with anywhere between 100-10000 unique images needing to be created. With this amount of work being put in, a use for the NFT would need to be the first step forward. In the real world, we have seen NFTs being linked to experiences, merchandise, exclusive events and/or opportunities. What could the league offer that could provide this type of "hype" and desire to obtain one? In my opinion the first thing that would need to be associated with a VHL NFT would have to be a player perk. The most prized NFT may allow the player to do one point earning task a week to earn a full capped week, where as weaker NFTs may be more along the lines of 2 capped TPE each week for life in the VHL. Going on the theme of player based perks, having additional salary come in because of holding and NFT can also be an option. One important aspect to all of this however is keeping it a secret as to what each NFT's perk is until the initial auction is over. This is something I will get into soon here. Other things that could be associated with the NFT is exclusive VHL merch such as having your player's draft year jersey, draft hat, favorite all time player jersey, or a VHL all-star jersey sent to you when you purchase it. Again, these perks must be reproducible so if merch is associated with an NFT, it must be sent each time the NFT is sold, thus driving up the price. Now a big part of the ideas shared above will have to do with desirability and people wanting to buy these NFTs off each other. When NFTs have their "perk" announced to the public, their value will begin to increase. Not only would this make it attractive to resell as the owner would look to sell to make a profit if they desire, the league would also get a % of all sales as well thus making it a revenue source for the league. In my opinion, 50% split of profit would be a number I would think about first as it would defer people from selling strictly to make money, however when there are sales, the league would benefit greatly. Now with all this being said, we would need to address activity of NFT holders. It will be absolutely critical that there be activity rules around NFT holders. They must be involved and not just wipe out a specific perk/revenue source in the league. We also do not want this to be a reason why someone feels like they can become inactive due to their perk as well. This factors into the issue of compliance. You need to have people using the system and be active with the system. This is, by far the biggest hurdle for an idea to take off. Most people in the league these days are logged in, do their tasks, leave. This goal focused engagement may hinder the importance of this on one's mind to allow them to gauge the market for their asset and potentially sell if they deem it to be appropriate. With the issue of compliance comes the other issue on how much of these should their be made? Most often, NFTs are made in the hundreds or thousands, but for this specific use that would be silly. We would need to do a full analysis on our active members in every given month, and rank groups based on their activity. If we count the most active group, what percent of those people would constitute a good number for the amount of NFTs to be made? This is an important factor because if too many people have one, the value drops and it's no longer a coveted addition to the league, however if we don't have enough, will people lose interest? League member numbers and activity data historically fluctuates a lot as well, making it difficult to come up with an accurate model. Now lets talk about the safety net. If all of this fails, we could always go back to the old system correct? Well yes, but no. People will more than likely be upset that their initial investment went to waste, but in my opinion, that would be the nature of the game. Adding additional buying and selling in a membership based site adds potential liability as well making the league a space where minors may not be accepted. With this wrinkle, would it be even worth it to add additional screening and verification methods when members create their profile? All of these of course are just thoughts and ideas at this time, however with a little work and commitment, could become a league changing implementation if the league ever decides to go this route. We all could agree, it would be the first of it's kind, anywhere.
