Looks like we have a few questions here; I'll do my best... Your player's attributes will decrease at the start of your 6th, 7th, and 8th seasons in the VHL (your first season in the VHLM doesn't count as one--if your player is a S67, then S67 will be the first of these seasons, whether you're going up or staying down). At the start of the 6th season, they'll decrease by 3%, at the start of the 7th season by 5%, and at the start of the 8th season by 7%. To help fight against this, you can make some (rather expensive, but certainly very helpful) player store purchases prior to the start of these seasons, so it's best to save your money! You can earn up to 12 capped TPE per week. If you'd like to max out, here's what to do: -Pick a 6-point task, whether a media spot, graphic, or podcast, whichever one you're best at. Do it. -Also, do a VHL.com submission. These are just like 6-point tasks, but on a smaller scale and worth 2 points. You have the same choice as the 6-point tasks: articles, graphics, and podcasts, and can pick any two of these. Other tasks that you can do for 2 capped TPE are listed below: -Press conferences (either asking 10 questions or answering 6) -Reviewing (review eight 6-point tasks for 2 TPE, giving constructive feedback) -Trivia (on weeks when there is trivia, there won't be for a while) Practice facility is uncapped; keep that in mind. My earning routine, before I started picking up 2 capped per week as a GM, was this: -Media spot -VHL.com article (I'm best at writing) -Press conference -Trivia on weeks we had it -A 2-point graphic on weeks we didn't (a second VHL.com submission). Some people prefer reviewing for those last couple points. It's all up to you. I'm not sure, as I don't make these decisions. I don't see other tasks coming up in the near future, though--I'd say we have a good system that works, and as far as I know those in charge like it just fine as is. Frost, like me, is actually a S66 player, meaning he created not this past season but the one before it. He created after the VHLM draft, though, making him a free agent. When his one-season contract (free agents can only be signed for one season) expired, he became eligible for the VHLM draft again, and was drafted this past season by both Philly (VHLM) and Calgary (VHL). Our TPE cutoff is 200--above 200 TPE after your first full season, and you go up to the VHL. Below that, you stay down in the minors. Frost was able to stay down, as he kept his player below 200 TPE. I hope this explains things to all who asked questions--feel free to ask anything, anytime.

The Devil has been there since before the times of hockey, I see.

Nova Scotia is literally "New Scotland," I believe. It's supposed to be like that you Satanic Satanist.

This may end up being more of a media spot than a VHL.com article, but it's all I want to write about at the moment and I need my last 2 TPE for the week. Let's get to it. The Halifax 21st recently unveiled a new team logo recently, which looks like this: While everyone is looking at this new logo, it's occurred to me that this may end up distracting people from the fact that HALIFAX IS A SATANIC CULT, and our new logo is no exception to the rule. What we have here is direct evidence, nay, proof, of the devil-worship the league has seen in Canada's easternmost major city (at least, easternmost as far as I'm aware of as an American). To start, let's take note of the fact that the ship on our logo has six windows, as we see below: Count them! That's right. Six windows. Six is a Satanic number, and when we take a look at the numbers even further, we see that the meaning is somewhat deeper... The team name is the "21st". 21 is a multiple of three, as we see, and three sixes in a row gives us THE DEVIL'S NUMBER ITSELF, 666. Let's not forget about the number multiplied by three, though--seven. You've got that right, the six windows in the picture, combined with the team's name, give us 666 repeated seven times. At once, this is a symbol of the seven deadly sins, the surest way to the fires of hell, as well as being an open mockery of God's seven archangels, one of whom, Michael, famously "shouted 'BEGONE THOT' and yeeted Lucifer from the kingdom of heaven" (that's what it says in the Book of Revelation, look it up). As well, let us keep in mind that the eyes are the window to the soul, and these windows are colored black, signifying spiritual corruption and affiliation with the Devil. Next, let us turn our attention to the background--not the background of the demonic picture of the ship, but the background of the logo itself, a blue cross on a white background. Look at the logo again and notice it... Coincidentally (or not), this background is the Scottish flag, with the colors switched. Have a look at the Scottish flag and see if you agree: Now, a bit about the Scottish flag here--the white cross represents the patron saint of Scotland, St. Andrew. To switch the colors of the logo is to make a mockery of the nation of Scotland, its patron saint, and by extension Christianity--something that a true Satanist would enjoy and a blatant symbol of the spirit of the team, whether in spiritual nature absent or outright evil. Back to the logo, anyway... Notice that the ship in the logo is steam-powered. You know how old steam-powered ships work? Yeah, you see that. Coal gets fed into a giant boiler, which ultimately provides the heat necessary for water to evaporate, and you know the rest. Well, check it out--the steam-powered ship is a Satanic symbol. First of all, in the above picture, we see men working. Working in the boiler room on one of these ships was backbreaking stuff, with long shifts and high temperatures. Sound familiar? Sound like hell? You bet. Not only this, but coal is made of mostly carbon left over from dead organisms, such as dinosaurs or trees or one day human beings, making the boiler itself a symbol of Hell and people burning. Look at the logo again, I bid you: Notice how in the middle of the ship, we have a large wooden mast. This can be taken as nothing but a direct mockery of the large wooden cross upon which Jesus died. Need further evidence? Jesus died between two thieves, just as Houston's chances at the cup last season died between @McWolf and @Thranduil. Need further proof? The mast is the centerpiece of not one or two but THREE Satanic symbols, as we see below: A large arrow can be drawn by following the lines created by the mast the front of the ship, and the shape of the waves in front. This is symbolic of the intended direction of those representatives of Halifax (straight down to the fiery depths of Hell), further emphasized by the fact that the same arrow follows a line through the smokestack and into the boiler (see above). A pentagram can be drawn using the five extremes of the ship's outline, with the mast bring right at the top. And, finally, we can draw an upside-down cross by following the line of the mast down the front of the ship and crossing it with the line of the ship's deck. So, I bid all of you people, BE ON THE LOOKOUT for the DEVIL'S TRICKERY which is alive and well in Halifax. Hi @jack @Motzaburger sorry I didn't get to your logo, but I'm tired. Maybe some other time.

Halifax is still a satanic cult, this changes nothing... This is way better than the original. Thank you both for making the league a better place.

@aleks you've been out-aleksed

I'll put my name in. I've seen enough fantasy zone to get the point of it all and I like the idea. Also I'm kinda sorta active around these parts.

I'll apply for USA, but I'd take anything.

@Beaviss promised more buff beav pics if Vancouver won the cup. So, for that reason, I'm disappointed in the Wolves. With that being said, though, I'm proud of my good friend @Sonnet for breaking the curse on Pepper, I'm happy to see @Beketov finally win another cup, and it's a fitting ending to the dominant season from @Jubo07. Well done Helsinki.

@SweetMike666 well this would have been nice to have foreseen before we traded you...no hard feelings, though--it's good to see you're back, for sure! I hope you'll find the league a great place and I hope you're able to have a successful career!

@jscott better than my first graphic, for sure... Keep up the good work!

I upload everything to Imgur to post here, here are the links to a few posts. Not sure why, but I haven't grouped them all together in one post. I'm just not great at organization... https://imgur.com/a/ERnEzI5 (from the top down, this goes from oldest to newest. The last one is the last sig I made) https://imgur.com/a/5f1PlYa (here's my most recent graphic of any sort) https://imgur.com/a/7MnBqxV (here are a few I made to start--the top two (and I suppose the last one, technically) are my work, and the top one was my first attempt) Hope this works, and many thanks for the advice.

Pretty much just general stuff. I don't know of anything in particular that I should be working on, and I think that's part of the issue. I wouldn't say I'm bad for a relative beginner, but I'd just like to improve. Any way I could drop you a few things I've done recently for you to take a look?

What about a media spot for sig advice? I'm at the lower level of average right now and I want to get good.

The square peg ALWAYS goes in the round hole. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ja, danke.

You should post more often, you have the best sig in the league

All good things must come to an end I suppose. Good luck @GlowyGoat, and keep hanging out in our locker room!

Claiming for the week ending 6/30. I want to write another media spot but scouting is king at the moment.

VHLM GM--2 (I'm not greedy; I asked @Radcow about it first and offered him pay. He said I could take it).

Also, good luck next time to all of those FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY

Welcome to the GM community @Acydburn! Best of luck moving forward in Ottawa.

Guess I'll take it away with another set of questions then...I need my press conference TPE for this week. 1. What inspired your player's name? 2. What's been your favorite part of the league so far? 3. What's been your least favorite part of the league so far? 4. Do you have any questions about the league that you would like answered? 5. For our S67 players, do you plan on going up to the VHL, or staying down? For our S68 players, or S67 players going back into the VHLM draft, which team do you think will pick you up? Which team do you hope will pick you up? 6. The VHL currently offers a bit of bonus TPE for being involved in our affiliates, the SBA (basketball league) and the EFL (American football league). Have you heard about this? If you have, have you considered joining those leagues? If you came here from either league, how does the VHL compare to the others?

I'm in good company in tier C, I'd say. I'll take it.
