I miss when I was doing graphics consistently and had the brief period of time where every week was an improvement over the last and I'd finish something and go, "holy shit, did I just make that?"
 
It's also surprisingly applicable to real-life situations. I would have no idea how to make a functioning spreadsheet if it weren't for being a sim nerd and occasionally I'll get what I want for presentations and such out of knowing how to work Photoshop.

I assume you know this but it's 12% of the listed attribute numbers. Spending some amount to get to a 90 will get you depreciated by 12% of 90, which is about 50 as it rolls back to 80.
 
I think there are issues with depreciation but that itself isn't my issue with it. I think it's fair that higher earners who upgrade their players more also get taxed more when the time comes, because otherwise they'd just get to spend their last seasons widening the gap.
 
My main issue is with why exactly that 12% exists and how to get to it--you can avoid it entirely by just...not coming up to the VHL for a season. As a development league commissioner, this is something that infuriates me because I think the last thing we should ever be doing is giving any player a reason to not develop. And I get that it remains a personal choice whether someone comes up or not, but I think we'll see quite a few players making that personal choice a certain way because of what will happen to their player if they don't. I still take this as a reason why we should move to slowly phasing out the E, but until the other leagues have the space to take it on I won't be making a proposal out of it.

Well holy shit, I think you win. I completely forgot about that and I like that it's faded away. My relatively harmless candidates:
 
-The horrible S69 recruitment drive that gave us ~120 new goalies, none of which stuck around
-Me spending about $25 of my own money to mail a bottle of kranch across the continent and across a border to Beav (yes, I had to fill out paperwork)
-The absolute insanity that was VHLM GM chat in the mid-S60s

Hey, I know it's been a while since we've talked about anything but I was sad to see your initial post and happy to see this one. There's actually quite a bit I don't like in this league (and the things you mentioned are at least partly in that category), but I'm also very much of the opinion that it's perfectly OK as long as I can still appreciate the stuff that keeps me here.
 
It's also great to voice those disagreements, and I'm glad you did. I think the fact that anyone here can make a difference with productive dissent is part of what makes our league great (and honestly it's sometimes one of the most rewarding parts of being a member).

This is partly why obnoxious text logos are stupid. It would probably be a good bit less vertical if we didn't have the giant "SAN DIEGO MARLINS" right in the middle.

These days we do that with your posts tbh

Soccer but faster and bloodier.
 
We have surprisingly high numbers of people who don't know much about hockey--I'm a super casual NHL follower at best myself, but I still think our league is a great place.

This is how Big Sim League keeps you quiet

Yes! I feel like it's even been more than that in the past but I understand the reasons why that might have been reduced (if I'm even remembering correctly that it was). Regardless, it's 2 uncapped + full free week of 12 capped for a donation this year.
