If you've got a league job or two or three, help me out. Sometime in the future, after I've finished claiming what I've got saved up now media spot-wise, I'm going to write an article which hopefully provides a comprehensive view of job pay across the league. I won't use it to attempt to advocate for any sort of change, because that's not the goal. I'm simply going to provide a list, and some comments, and hopefully, if there are enough responses, it will serve as a legitimately informative source of information and present a wide range of opinions. ANYWAY, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I won't be tagging anyone, but here you go: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bs4_O4u9ciefHDQ6mad4-TfzZozc4sCMvFxE5pjp_no/edit

Gustav Effect intensifies

Yeeted lol

Well, here we are, in week 8, I'm posting late, doing great, and don't have a date. But enough about me; that was the worst opening line in the history of opening lines. This week we're here to roast @flyersfan1453 @eaglesfan036, who was gracious enough to give us this comprehensive autobiography when signing up: Roast me You heard the man. Tagging those who signed up here, with my usual statement-- to read the rules, or to sign up, click here. If you're tagged and don't want to be, or if you don't want to sign up but would like to be tagged in these threads anyway, let me know. Also going to tag @flyersfan1453 for real, just because.

Now you can hire Thran.

Hello @RJ.2002 and welcome to the VHL! I'm GustavMattias, GM of the Mississauga Hounds, and I'm here to extend you an offer. I'm a defenseman myself, so I value people like you and I wish I could have more of them. ...Which brings me to this: I'd like you to sign with the Hounds. If you sign here, you'll be on a team that's a legitimate contender for success, on the second pairing with time on both the power play and penalty kill. If this sounds good to you, just quote my offer and say "accepted" to join the team, and we'll get you on our roster. All in all, good luck, and feel free to ask any questions you might have! -Gustav

@GlowyGoat saw this last night. Made an attempt at doing something lighting-wise, as can be seen with my way-too-noticeable brush strokes.

Of course it's coming from Halifax. 676

Here to tag @Thranduil so he can get his AGM seasoning.

Good luck! Saskatoon is fun; wish you'd signed with the Hounds but you won't regret your decision.

What? No Jerry? I'm insulted. D - Jerry Garcia @Matt_O

@Quik @Beketov tinypic massacred the Vegas logo Also @Matt_O there's the logo change you've been waiting for

And 5 minutes later...

Hi there @Quietknight and welcome (back) to the league! I'm GustavMattias, GM of the Mississauga Hounds, and I'm here to offer you a spot on my roster as our STARTING GOALIE. We did come out of the draft with a lot of talent, for sure, and I'd say we figure to do well this season. The thing is--this draft class was particularly short on goaltending talent, and we're short a legitimate starter at the moment. So, that's where you come in--join the Hounds and, if you earn points well enough, carry us to success! If this interests you, feel free to quote my offer and say "accepted," so I can get you on the roster. No matter what, good luck, good to see you here, and don't be afraid to ask questions! -Gustav

Welcome back @littleboi! I remember you from just a little while ago, and it's good to see you've recreated. Of course, I'd love to have you on as a member of the Hounds. We came out of the draft with a strong class of actives, and we're in contention for greatness, but we need centers, fairly badly. In fact, if you sign with the Hounds, you'll be our second-line center right off the bat, with time on the power play and penalty kill. Again, I'd love to have you on my team, and you know what to do--quote to accept if this interests you. Good luck! -Gustav

Don't think I had anything like this in there; everyone got the same set of questions.

Petition to have "super active" autocorrected to this on the forums.

Claim for the week ending 9/22.

For the week ending 9/22: 1. The Hounds aren't off to the world's greatest start. Does this surprise you? 2. We're also very much a team in progress. Do you think management will be able to throw together a solid roster by the time our season starts? 3. Have you picked up on anything notable about any other teams in the VHLM? If so, what is it? 4. If your player were forced to retire today, what position would your recreate play and what would you name them? 5. What's your favorite band, and what's their best song? 6. Brock Louth (@Beaviss) gets drunk one night and insists upon getting a Hounds face tattoo. Do you let it happen, or try to talk him out of it? @ColeMrtz21 @Cxsquared @Patrik Tallinder @GlowyGoat @Tigris @Krice13 @TukTukTheGreat @Radcow@Garrett @Ckbruinfan
