Starting a big (and potentially good) article series somewhat soon. Fresh Gustav content to drop more than once a week if I want to finish it in reasonable time

TFW you've been scouted by as many VHLM teams as there are E GMs
And most of the ones who haven't don't have a first-round pick
Thanks GMs for doing your homework!

Old members: which players do you want to see in the Hall of Fame? Maybe I'll write about them.
-
New members: what's been your favorite part of the VHL so far? Least favorite?

I promise I know more about geography than the average bear, but fun fact: I thought the city was called "Helsinski" until I joined the VHL.

It's always a nice little health reminder to wake up, open the forum, and see something less than "8 hours ago" next to something I posted.

Normally I don't like it when people bump old threads, but: this forum is about to be 10 years old!

When the VHL turned 14, we were asked to contribute a memory from when we were 14. I loved that thread, so I'll give you something that happened when I was 16 and ask you to do the same:
When I was 16, I did what lots of people my age do and went into a drivers' ed program. Now, this was just a couple weeks after I got my permit, and I was still going around parking lots when I started...so it was a fun, fun drive when on the first day I was asked to take us back to the school from the next town over.
That same year, I became first trumpet in my high school band (and joined jazz band too...and started taking music theory...kicking off my getting more serious about music). We did a band field trip to Chicago and got stuck hanging out next to the bean for about an hour and a half because our schedule left us in that area with nothing to do for a long time.
What did you do when you were 16--or, what do you hope to do when you are?

I played Wolfenstein:ET, I enjoyed playing the "sniper"-class as one of the perks is that you could steal the uniform of the enemy and run around undercover. Some maps were high in pace and action, so it was not always easy to spot who is undercover and doing something "odd". I would sneak behind the enemy lines and stab people in the back with a knife. Then I would use the public voice commands to mock the enemy I just took down and run away with their shirt and pants. Sometimes I would just stand there and look at the chaos, in the middle of the enemy - undercover. Sometimes I would do something useful like open the door to my teammates, so they can get into some restricted area only easily accessible for the enemy. Good game, good times.

when i was 16 i found a thermometer in my bathroom medicine cabinet and thought it was a pregnancy test. i then posted to the vhl discord and got flamed by everyone for being an idiot.
@Nykonax as someone who witnessed this firsthand…I hope you can look back and realize how funny it was. I was also an idiot at 16 who definitely would have done something just as dumb had I been online much then.

-The absolute insanity that was VHLM GM chat in the mid-S60s
@Gustav Let's face it - you, me and everyone else there loved it.

Townies: what's been your favorite Town of Salem moment?

Going to point out that our "supplemental point tasks" section recently became the first to break 100,000 posts!

Me on my way to bash members in the GM opening threads
-
I have noticed that although this league has 5,028 members, @Berocka is not receiving 5,028 plays on the VHLM commissioner podcast. I'm not sure if this is being done intentionally or if these "friends" are forgetting to click 'play'.

Later on this year, some of our forum posts will turn TEN years old
