1. I just joined this league a little under an hour ago, so I'll answer this and any other questions to the best of my ability. So far, this league seems like it could be a lot of fun. I've gotten (very!) quick replies to what I've posted so far and am looking forward to building a great player. I know very little about how it all works but lots of people here seem to have gotten very into it so I hope I may as well.
2. Earning TPE is not incredibly clear at first--I know a few things about it (which is partly why I'm here in this thread) but had no idea what to do for a little while after I created my player. What I would suggest is a direct link in the VHL Portal or, even better, at the top of the page, containing comprehensive information on and direct links to areas of this site which can be used to earn TPE. Maybe it's just because I'm new but it was highly confusing to me.
3.I did read the newsletter, and it was very helpful to me, as I found the information that I needed about earning TPE and learned a few other things about the league as well.
4. I would love to be drafted and become a member of any one of the league's teams. Hopefully I can work my way up to the VHL in my first season, but if not then patience is key.
5. I don't know much about the teams in the league at the moment, but looking at the recent post by Riga's GM, I can tell that team is managed thoroughly (plus Zemgus Girgensons is from Latvia so I'm kind of biased).
6c. I hope to be a consistent, active member of the league. As of right now, I am a defenseman with mostly default qualities, so I have the ability to use my TPE wisely to be able to fit into any role a manager wants for me.
