Glad to see you back  

This is Really Just a Media spot on my experience Here since I'm back and all.
 
So here I am back again and when I say again I actually mean this is my third attempt at returning but this time it just feels different for some reason I'm not even sure why. The Other Day it was like four in the morning and I was having trouble falling asleep when that happens my mind likes to wander and it went back to 2018/19 which was when I joined the VHL and was active for nearly a year, I believe it was an ad on the BBGM Reddit that first introduced me to the VHL It reminded me of Be a Pro mode which I had good memories of when it was good. So I joined up and on December 10th, 2018 Early in the morning while I waited for the bus to school I created my first and only good player to Date ( Mathiesen will be on par or better I promise) 
Jack Lynch a Right Winger from Winnipeg a player who was based on Myself somewhat. 
 
When I first joined the VHL I had just moved that summer to a new town and wasn't really close friends with anyone there yet so the VHL gave me something to do in my free time. Lynch was drafted either 20th or 24th by Ottawa in S64 VHLM draft (player page says 24th while draft page says 20th honestly can't remember where either but it was somewhere in the 4th round), One thing I remember about that Ottawa team was its great locker room and how helpful everybody was it is probably a big reason  I stayed around so shoutout to diamond_ace and everybody else apart of that team (I was looking back at my messages in the discord and I didn't remember it all but apparently I had problems with the OTT gm that come after DA for bringing non-ottawa guys into the team discord its funny to look back on now). 
 
Lynch started off his career pretty well for in the first game of the season and his career he scored a goal and was named the third star in a great 4-2 win against Las Vegas, He would go on to score 46 points (12 Goals & 36 assists) that season helping Ottawa to a 3rd place finish in a heated 3-way race between us 2nd placed Halifax and the top seeded Las Vegas Aces, Oslo and Saskatoon would fight off in a wild card round to see who would have the honour of getting Swept by Las Vegas, Oslo ended up getting that honour meanwhile the actually noteworthy semi finals series was between Ottawa and Halifax there was only a 4 point difference between the two teams in the regular season ( Halifax's 106 points to Ottawa's 102) HAL took game 1 6-4 and proceeded to take game 2 3-2 and looked ready to move past us then and there, we were able to take the 3rd game 5-4 but Halifax struck back and took a 3-1 lead after beating us 4-2 in game 5 halifax was looking to take this game and move on already meanwhile we were fighting for survival and that created a intense game which after 60 minutes was tied 6-6 where Don Draper secured the win and a game 6 for Ottawa with a powerplay Goal Unfortunately for us Halifax would get 7 in past us the next game and take the series Lynch would finish 4 points (1 goal 3 assists) in that series.
 
 Las Vegas would end up beating Halifax in 6 to lift the Cup while I made the decision to stay in the VHLM for another season and Lynch would be picked by Davos at 16th in the S65 VHL draft, Ottawa would lose several key players to that draft (in fact the whole top 5 of that draft played for OTT in S64) which meant well Lynch was kinda carrying the team the Ottawa front office saw no reason to keep Lynch around as this would be his last season in the VHLM and they were a middling team with him so he was traded to one of the new expansion teams for that off-season the VHLM had made a of couple changes like the storm moving from Oslo to Minnesota while Philidelphia and Houston would get teams in the Reapers and Bulls.
 
Houston Would Send Blake Laughton, S67 1st and 4th round Picks in exchange For Lynch ( who was averaging over a point a game at that point)
The Trade Would give Houston a great first line of forwards as Jurri, Kirbsson and Lynch were some of the best in the league at their positions(102,108 and 98 points that season respectively), Houston's season did not go as well as they might have hoped for finishing just 3rd and Of course because I need a team to dislike for no reason Lynch and Houston would end up facing Halifax in the 2nd round Where they would be down 2-0 after 2 games and it all seemed like deja vu for lynch as Houston would take game 3 only to lose the next and put them down 3-1 we where able to take games 5 and 6 and looked ready to pull off the 3-1 comeback but short losing in game 7 in overtime I'm gonna be real Lynch Dissapeared in that series only 5 points in 7 games for a guy who 98 in 72 in the regular season definitely not a great way to end my career in the VHLM.
 
I was Ready for the VHL and to play, I would never get the chance to play for the Team that drafted Me HC Davos because I would be picked by the Malmo Nighthawks in the S66 expansion draft, Malmo also had a great locker room as expected of an expansion team in their first year we struggled being the worst team in the European conference and we were only slightly better than Seattle Lynch had a pretty decent rookie season getting 28 goals and 35 assists for a total of 63 points although Malmo had a bad first season our future looked promising with the mixture of expansion draft guys and entry draft guys.
 
S67 was much of the same for Malmo and Lynch as The Nighthawks once again found themselves at the bottom of their conference and were the 2nd worst team in the league while Lynch put up 23 goals and 41 assists for 64 points on the season, The next season however would see the rise of Malmo as they would shoot up to the top in their conference and the league as a whole due to some Trades and Free Agency as well as the rise of players already on the Team, Malmo would take down HC Davos in 7 and then proceed to the 2nd round where they beat the Riga Reign in 5 and would advance to the Finals against Seattle where I wish I could tell you they won but that didn't happen Seattle swept us.
 
and that's the end of Lynch really, I was inactive for most of that last year in Malmo which sucks cause it was a good team and I could have probably helped more if I was active, Lynch would then be traded to Riga and almost a 60 point season there (24 goals and 35 assists) and then finished out his career in Seattle as a depth piece all in all he had a solid career in both the VHL 
putting 271 Points in 360 games ( 108 goals and 163 assists) while in the VHLM 144 points in 144 games ( 62 goals and 82 assists) I was surprised that he had exactly a point per game career in the VHLM cool i guess I know I wrote about the VHLM more but that's what I seem to remember the most all good times though.
 
When I first started writing up this media spot to prove to myself I wouldn't just abandon this player like the last two and also for TPE lets be real, I wasn't sure exactly what brought me back to the VHL but now that I've started looking through my messages and posts and also searching for any memories I have of the league I landed on a few things The league is fun of course,
But I really like the community people were so helpful here when I first joined and I'm hoping it hasn't changed either( I doubt it has) cause it seems there have been a lot of changes since I was actually active for example I see there are new attributes now that's gonna be a learning curve for me I'm sure and I'l be ready for it.
 
Anyway I'm excited to be back and I'm gonna be active like I used to be hopefully that's the plan anyway We shall see I guess.
 
Halifax Please don't draft me I'm destined to despise y'all for some reason. (jk draft me if you wanna be disappointed it's sort of a specialty of mine)

A Halifax scout is en route for a draft interview!  Don't worry, disappointment is something we already have in common!

When I first joined the VHL I had just moved that summer to a new town and wasn't really close friends with anyone there yet so the VHL gave me something to do in my free time. Lynch was drafted either 20th or 24th by Ottawa in S64 VHLM draft (player page says 24th while draft page says 20th honestly can't remember where either but it was somewhere in the 4th round), One thing I remember about that Ottawa team was its great locker room and how helpful everybody was it is probably a big reason  I stayed around so shoutout to diamond_ace and everybody else apart of that team (I was looking back at my messages in the discord and I didn't remember it all but apparently I had problems with the OTT gm that come after DA for bringing non-ottawa guys into the team discord its funny to look back on now). 
 
Lynch started off his career pretty well for in the first game of the season and his career he scored a goal and was named the third star in a great 4-2 win against Las Vegas, He would go on to score 46 points (12 Goals & 36 assists) that season helping Ottawa to a 3rd place finish in a heated 3-way race between us 2nd placed Halifax and the top seeded Las Vegas Aces, Oslo and Saskatoon would fight off in a wild card round to see who would have the honour of getting Swept by Las Vegas, Oslo ended up getting that honour meanwhile the actually noteworthy semi finals series was between Ottawa and Halifax there was only a 4 point difference between the two teams in the regular season ( Halifax's 106 points to Ottawa's 102) HAL took game 1 6-4 and proceeded to take game 2 3-2 and looked ready to move past us then and there, we were able to take the 3rd game 5-4 but Halifax struck back and took a 3-1 lead after beating us 4-2 in game 5 halifax was looking to take this game and move on already meanwhile we were fighting for survival and that created a intense game which after 60 minutes was tied 6-6 where Don Draper secured the win and a game 6 for Ottawa with a powerplay Goal Unfortunately for us Halifax would get 7 in past us the next game and take the series Lynch would finish 4 points (1 goal 3 assists) in that series.
 
 Las Vegas would end up beating Halifax in 6 to lift the Cup while I made the decision to stay in the VHLM for another season and Lynch would be picked by Davos at 16th in the S65 VHL draft, Ottawa would lose several key players to that draft (in fact the whole top 5 of that draft played for OTT in S64) which meant well Lynch was kinda carrying the team the Ottawa front office saw no reason to keep Lynch around as this would be his last season in the VHLM and they were a middling team with him so he was traded to one of the new expansion teams for that off-season the VHLM had made a of couple changes like the storm moving from Oslo to Minnesota while Philidelphia and Houston would get teams in the Reapers and Bulls.
 
Houston Would Send Blake Laughton, S67 1st and 4th round Picks in exchange For Lynch ( who was averaging over a point a game at that point)
The Trade Would give Houston a great first line of forwards as Jurri, Kirbsson and Lynch were some of the best in the league at their positions(102,108 and 98 points that season respectively), Houston's season did not go as well as they might have hoped for finishing just 3rd and Of course because I need a team to dislike for no reason Lynch and Houston would end up facing Halifax in the 2nd round Where they would be down 2-0 after 2 games and it all seemed like deja vu for lynch as Houston would take game 3 only to lose the next and put them down 3-1 we where able to take games 5 and 6 and looked ready to pull off the 3-1 comeback but short losing in game 7 in overtime I'm gonna be real Lynch Dissapeared in that series only 5 points in 7 games for a guy who 98 in 72 in the regular season definitely not a great way to end my career in the VHLM.
 
I was Ready for the VHL and to play, I would never get the chance to play for the Team that drafted Me HC Davos because I would be picked by the Malmo Nighthawks in the S66 expansion draft, Malmo also had a great locker room as expected of an expansion team in their first year we struggled being the worst team in the European conference and we were only slightly better than Seattle Lynch had a pretty decent rookie season getting 28 goals and 35 assists for a total of 63 points although Malmo had a bad first season our future looked promising with the mixture of expansion draft guys and entry draft guys.
 
S67 was much of the same for Malmo and Lynch as The Nighthawks once again found themselves at the bottom of their conference and were the 2nd worst team in the league while Lynch put up 23 goals and 41 assists for 64 points on the season, The next season however would see the rise of Malmo as they would shoot up to the top in their conference and the league as a whole due to some Trades and Free Agency as well as the rise of players already on the Team, Malmo would take down HC Davos in 7 and then proceed to the 2nd round where they beat the Riga Reign in 5 and would advance to the Finals against Seattle where I wish I could tell you they won but that didn't happen Seattle swept us.
 
and that's the end of Lynch really, I was inactive for most of that last year in Malmo which sucks cause it was a good team and I could have probably helped more if I was active, Lynch would then be traded to Riga and almost a 60 point season there (24 goals and 35 assists) and then finished out his career in Seattle as a depth piece all in all he had a solid career in both the VHL 
putting 271 Points in 360 games ( 108 goals and 163 assists) while in the VHLM 144 points in 144 games ( 62 goals and 82 assists) I was surprised that he had exactly a point per game career in the VHLM cool i guess I know I wrote about the VHLM more but that's what I seem to remember the most all good times though.
 
When I first started writing up this media spot to prove to myself I wouldn't just abandon this player like the last two and also for TPE lets be real, I wasn't sure exactly what brought me back to the VHL but now that I've started looking through my messages and posts and also searching for any memories I have of the league I landed on a few things The league is fun of course,
But I really like the community people were so helpful here when I first joined and I'm hoping it hasn't changed either( I doubt it has) cause it seems there have been a lot of changes since I was actually active for example I see there are new attributes now that's gonna be a learning curve for me I'm sure and I'l be ready for it.
 
Anyway I'm excited to be back and I'm gonna be active like I used to be hopefully that's the plan anyway We shall see I guess.
 
Halifax Please don't draft me I'm destined to despise y'all for some reason. (jk draft me if you wanna be disappointed it's sort of a specialty of mine)

This is Really Just a Media spot on my experience Here since I'm back and all.
 
So here I am back again and when I say again I actually mean this is my third attempt at returning but this time it just feels different for some reason I'm not even sure why. The Other Day it was like four in the morning and I was having trouble falling asleep when that happens my mind likes to wander and it went back to 2018/19 which was when I joined the VHL and was active for nearly a year, I believe it was an ad on the BBGM Reddit that first introduced me to the VHL It reminded me of Be a Pro mode which I had good memories of when it was good. So I joined up and on December 10th, 2018 Early in the morning while I waited for the bus to school I created my first and only good player to Date ( Mathiesen will be on par or better I promise)

It’s great to be back. One of the first things I did when I logged back on earlier today was check my notifications and I was surprised to see I had an actual mention and it was from you and here I was thinking Lynch was gonna be lost to history so that was nice to see.

Well there's an old name. Welcome back to the league @xsjack! Hope you're doing well.

Welcome back

In perhaps the most meta image the VHL has ever seen, here's my computer with this article in progress. I've had the same laptop the whole time I've been in the VHL--so imagine how many times I've pressed the space bar you see here for your enjoyment.
 
 
There have been thirteen World Junior Championships in the VHL since I took part in my first one back in S65. And before you ask, that one was a nightmare.
 
The WJC is a big opportunity for anyone new looking to make a difference. It's true that not many people care about the tournament if they're not in it. It's also true that not many people in our tournaments care about them. But for many, it's a big deal. That's especially true when those people are very new and are finally getting a chance to get their hands on STHS. And it was true for me as well when I applied to run Team USA in hopes of GMing my player to success. I'd never touched the STHS client before and I was ready to do what I'd seen in my own locker room in terms of helping players have a good time.
 
I didn't get exactly what I asked for, but it still felt great to be picked as GM of Team Asia. That feeling didn't even change when I found that there weren't enough players eligible for my team, or that the ones I had were mostly inactive. Lots of people wanted a WJC job, and it felt really good to be important. I picked my roster, made the right complaints, and soon received notice that I could fill in those inactive spots with players that had been left off of other teams. And that helped to some extent--we still had a worse roster than most other teams, but I at least brought in a few people that helped us out. @Kuch9's Viktor Kozlov and @xsjack's Jack Lynch were wrecking the M at the time, while I always appreciated seeing "Srraxxarrakex II" (I wonder how many others can spell that!) on the play-by-play. I announced the roster and sent out the proper invites, and then I got in the business of figuring out how to run STHS.
 
And then I broke my computer.
 
Running STHS on Mac is something that's been figured out by different people, in one way or another, over the years, but no one I knew had done it and neither did anyone they knew. The STHS client is Windows software, meaning that you'll need to find a workaround if you want to get your hockey jollies with any other OS. These workarounds exist for Mac, but they're janky to say the least--I eventually came across one fully functioning, but that was after I spent $100 on Parallels (a program that drained both my battery and my storage). Before "eventually," I found out how to make it work on a very janky level with Wine. Do you enjoy not being able to see where you just put your players in your lineup and just having to remember? I've got quite the program for you if you do.
 
Many of you know that I'm not great with computer stuff, so I'm also assuming that you know how much of an accomplishment it was that I got it to work to begin with. The STHS website has two "versions" of the client, one for Windows and one that's allegedly for Mac. The thing is, the Mac "version" is the same exact .exe file as the Windows one, and the only difference is that it downloads itself in a folder with a text file that basically tells you you're shit out of luck. I don't remember this file being particularly helpful to me, and that's what led to me eventually finding my way to Wikihow trying to figure out how I could open this thing with my computer.
 
"Download Wine" seemed easy enough, so I followed the link that was on Wikihow and clicked the button to download the software. That popped up a window that wasn't clear at all as to its purpose, but had a button that said "continue" or something similar. So, I clicked that...and watched as my computer installed some random antivirus software.
 
Shit.
 
I found the actual button that got me past that window quickly enough and downloaded Wine for real. From there, it was about three straight hours of trial and error as I clicked things, first trying to get the software to open, then trying to open the client file from the index, then trying to figure out how to put players in my lines, then finally generating a lines file and emailing it to Devise. All was well and good and the world had no worries in it.
 
That was, of course, until my computer slowed to a crawl and refused to do anything I wanted it to. I really hadn't paid attention to this random thing that was sitting in my downloads folder because I didn't see anything happening with it right away, but here I was a couple days later with a nonfunctioning computer and a few searches on my phone warning me that this program (I forget what it was called) was straight-up malware that I was dumb enough to install. Deleting it didn't fix anything, so I ended up having to take it to the Apple store and hearing that they'd be happy to reset it for me, and by the way, that will be $800 (seriously), and, oh right, you have AppleCare (a 1-year policy that came with this thing and that I'm very happy I was still under the terms of at the time), so you'd better thank your lucky stars you won't have to pay that much. I didn't have a functioning computer, so it wasn't a big deal for me to just not have a computer altogether in the week or so they took to reset it (I'm also not sure why that took as long as it did either). During this time, I didn't have any real-life setbacks beyond having to convince a professor that I couldn't do the homework because my computer was broken--something that I'm sure he heard as a fake excuse all the time, because he definitely never believed me.
 
That also led to me dropping off the face of the VHL Earth for close to a week. Regardless, I'd sent in my lines and I hoped my team had done well despite me not being around Discord much (don't ask me why I never checked in on my phone, because I have no idea). I was not altogether surprised, but still disappointed, to find out that a.) Team Asia had gotten absolutely bodied in the first round of the tournament and wouldn't be progressing to the next ones, and b.) I had managed to screw up the lines (because I didn't know I had to hit "copy all") and everything past our first game was simmed with auto-generated lines. Asia did manage to pull off a win--despite the index no longer existing, comments on this thread tell us that we managed to beat Europe--but that was it. Team Asia was Team Disappointment for the rest of the games we played and had the GM to match.
 
But after the tournament, I'd learned a lot. I'd put together a team and thought about how I would hypothetically manage them had I had the means to do so, I learned that the community saw me as good enough to do something cool in an official capacity, and I learned that I really cared about those things after I had them taken away for a bit. And, for better or for worse, in my own janky way, I made STHS work on a MacBook. That's something that would set the stage for...quite a bit. And there's quite a bit more personal history, and some marginally better GM accomplishments, on the way.

The story is very good and it is fun to see how you describe it. Although, maybe you should make some space and make paragraphs, not just a big wall. It is more easy and fun to read it that way.

Paris Revolution!
Rome Senators
 
Edit: not Legion

Paris and St. Petersburg for me, although I'd pretty much be happy with any of these possibilities.

Hey, it's warming up slowly but surely!

It was a cold late October morning as Dekster stepped off the plane and began making his way through the Saskatoon airport he had never stepped foot in Saskatchewan before today but he was told it was slightly similar to Manitoba his home for the last three years he kept walking only stopping to grab his baggage,The eighteen year old had only been on a plane once before and that was three years ago when he was on a very long flight across the Atlantic leaving his home nation of Poland behind,He missed his family back home he wondered what they were up to right now,He didn’t have much close family outside of Poland except for his older half brother and trainer Jack Lynch a former VHL player that saw some decent seasons in the pros playing his best years for the then new expansion team the Malmo Nighthawks the only reason Dekster came to Canada was cause of Jack offering to help train him and that He had connections in the industry and would be able to help further his dreams of going pro encouraged by his mother he took up the offer hoping to achieve his dream of being like his brother and playing in the pro’s before he made the journey across the Atlantic he didn’t know much about his older brother who he had only found out about a few years earlier after finding out about him he would every day after hockey practice watch Highlights of Jack’s and read about his career,While he was a great player in his home nation of Poland he had doubts of how good he would be in Canada as there was lots more competition and it would be much harder than he was used to,He struggled the first year of hockey in the new country as the season went on and he struggled more his morale and love for the game wasn’t as high as it once was Jack seeing this decided to put all his attention on training and helping him during the summer they got to work training on his weaknesses and getting even better at his strengths,He also took some English courses to learn the language better as before coming to Canada he Barely knew any English except for the bare minimum he needed back in Poland this helped him a lot as it was much easier to communicate with his coaches and teammates understanding what they wanted him to do much more combined with his new training he was a lot better and became a top player for his team in his second season helping lead them to a deep playoff run but ultimately losing in the finals,That summer he and Jack went back to Poland while traveling around Europe meeting some of the top coaches and training with them to further his development while they put in a lot of work in Europe they also got up to trouble going out drinking and getting in some fights nothing major though this was something that Dekster had picked up from Jack who was probably more know for his off the ice reputation during his playing career than his actual playing although he hadn’t effected his career much after the summer he would play his last and final season before deciding to go the VHLM the training paid off as he was a top player in the league and won the cup while also being a finalist for MVP but not winning it,After the season he officially announced he would be looking to join the VHLM he got a decent amount of offers from teams but after mulling for days he decided the closest option and the one he felt best for him was to Join the Saskatoon Wild. He walked out of the doors of the airport feeling a cold breeze hit him he was excited and ready he knew he made the right decision coming here.
